Chapter 20: Detestable

Xie He-ting saw the aggressive-looking Jin Huaifeng approaching and gripped his seatbelt nervously. At the same time, his brain worked rapidly—he hadn’t provoked Jin Huaifeng today, had he?

Not until the car window was knocked on.

Xie He-ting cautiously lowered the window a bit, leaving only a crack.

Seeing Jin Huaifeng’s impatient expression through the slit, Xie He-ting, being very tactful, lowered the window a bit more.

He gave him a sweet smile.

Jin Huaifeng wore a pair of dark sunglasses that covered half his face. He stuffed the things in his hand through the window and into Xie He-ting’s arms.

“For you.”

Xie He-ting looked down at the bulging bag in his arms, then at the still expressionless Jin Huaifeng.

Jin Huaifeng’s tone was a bit awkward: “Just bought some snacks. Eat something so you don’t get low blood sugar again.”

???

?????

…?? It’s not what I think it is, right?

The camera, being very sensible, cut to the bag in Xie He-ting’s hands.

“For me?”

Jin Huaifeng turned his head away, his expression looking a bit strange. Only the tips of his ears, for some reason, were somewhat red.

Xie He-ting looked down and opened the bag, finding it filled with all sorts of snacks.

“Candy, chocolate, jelly…” Xie He-ting took them out one by one, reading the words on the labels as he pulled each item out.

Jin Huaifeng, caring about his dignity after all, pressed his hand down and said in a low voice: “Alright, you can look at them slowly later.”

“Thank you, Brother.” Xie He-ting understood; Jin Huaifeng had bought these snacks for him.

The bullet chat understood too, but seemed not to fully understand.

??? Nothing but snacks, what is going on?

So, Brother Jin disappeared for nearly an hour just now specifically to buy this stuff?

The recording location is in the suburbs where shopping isn’t convenient, so looking at it that way, it’s possible.

Wait a second, my brain is getting scrambled—let me straighten this out. Young Master Jin went to buy these specifically because He-he had low blood sugar during the run this morning, and he was worried the same thing would happen during the date today?

Holy crap. I think I’m shipping it.

Hehe, to tell you the truth, so am I.

Inside the car, Xie He-ting held the large bag of food. He carefully selected a piece of milk chocolate from inside, unwrapped it, and took a small bite.

The silkiness of the milk and the mellow aroma of the cocoa melted in his mouth; the sweet richness made his eyes light up.

“Brother, this is delicious. Do you want some?” Xie He-ting happily swung his small feet.

“No thanks, we’re ready to set off.” Shi Jixing’s gaze fell on the large bag of snacks on Xie He-ting’s lap, then he quickly looked away and focused on driving.

Xie He-ting leaned his head toward the window, savoring the sweet chocolate and smelling the fragrance of flowers. His mood was extremely pleasant, and the corners of his mouth curled into a soft arc unconsciously; his voice was relaxed and light: “Brother, where are we going?”

Yesterday, before the guests set out, the production team gave the date requirements: it must be a place where one of the partners had their most unforgettable date with an ex.

Xie He-ting hadn’t received many memories from the original owner. In his memory, the original owner seemed to have liked someone, but he could never recall the person’s face—only a tall, blurred silhouette. The back looked like a rising mountain range.

Unfortunately, although he felt this silhouette was very familiar, he still couldn’t remember who it belonged to.

So he left the difficult problem of choosing the location to Shi Jixing: “I haven’t been on a date with anyone before, so you decide the location, Brother.”

A crack appeared on Shi Jixing’s frozen face.

How was he supposed to meet Xie He-ting’s expectant gaze and explain that he actually hadn’t been in a relationship either?

In the end, Shi Jixing chose a dating location and kept it a secret from Xie He-ting.

When Xie He-ting asked again, Shi Jixing still wouldn’t budge, only saying: “You’ll know when we get there.”

“Alright.”

Shi Jixing drove with total concentration, while Xie He-ting sat quietly to the side. He didn’t take out his phone to play, nor did he make constant noise, which made Shi Jixing feel very comfortable. His favorable impression of Xie He-ting grew by another point.

The tree is blooming its flowers, the grass is sprouting its buds; they just sit there like that, not speaking, and it is already quite beautiful.

Give the pen to the writer; if you can write well, write more.

The three pairs of guests set out one after another, and the camera followed the production team’s dispatch, cutting to the inside of the villa.

The villa was exceptionally quiet today.

Wen Zhou got up early. After seeing Zhou Yanrong off, he began working alone in the kitchen.

Mu Ying had just finished recording the VCR for the “Official Weibo Identity Blind Guess” notification as requested by the production team. After finishing the shoot, he smelled a sweet scent of cream.

He followed the scent to the kitchen.

Wen Zhou was wearing an apron and gloves, taking freshly baked cake bases out of the oven. He was re-cutting them and stuffing them into Bulgari-blue paper cups—a layer of cake base, a layer of cream mixed with diced fruit, and finally a dusting of cocoa and matcha powder.

“Why the sudden making of cupcakes?”

“Teacher Mu.” Seeing Mu Ying come over, Wen Zhou didn’t stop his piping work; a small dimple appeared on his left cheek as he smiled: “I’m going to make some cakes and leave them out for everyone to eat when they get back.”

Among the commoner guests with their distinct temperaments, Wen Zhou looked the most like a student. He always spoke politely and was very well-mannered.

Mu Ying, intending to create some show effect, let his gaze sweep over the exquisite box cakes and said intentionally: “I think I heard Yanrong mention yesterday that he wanted to eat some dessert.”

Wen Zhou gave a youthful smile but didn’t respond, simply continuing to stay busy.

Puppy, don’t love too much.

So what is the Puppy’s true identity? Involution King/Straight-A student? He doesn’t look much like it—does a “love brain” not affect one’s IQ?

Moron, get lost. Only your family’s “love brain” would affect IQ.

Wen Zhou’s movements were very practiced. After finishing the cupcakes, he began whipping cream again to make a Basque cheesecake.

It just so happened that the cake previously put in the oven was done. Wen Zhou took one and asked Mu Ying to help test the flavor.

“Xiao Zhou, I didn’t expect you to have this hidden skill of baking cakes. Mmm, the taste is quite good.”

“It’s nothing; it’s far worse than Brother Yanrong.” Wen Zhou handed Mu Ying a tissue to wipe the cream off his face.

“Brother Yanrong is especially good at baking cookies. The cookies he bakes have a full milky aroma but aren’t cloying; they’re much better than the blue tins. I can eat a whole…”

Wen Zhou suddenly stopped speaking. His movement of stirring the egg wash slowed down, and he lowered his head.

However, he hadn’t tasted that flavor for a very long time.

Mu Ying keenly sensed the change in his mood. His action of eating the cake also stopped, and he let out a sigh, speaking no more.

Sigh…

This pair, I really don’t know what to say.

Ah! It seems He-he’s group has arrived at the date destination.

Wait? Did Shi Jixing take him to the wrong place???

Laughing so hard—Shi Jixing is a genius! I don’t respect anyone but you!

Several SVIP bullet comments caused the previously low-spirited comment section to instantly become restless.

Where did they go? Where did they go? I’m not SVIP so I can’t switch cameras, damn it!
