Chapter 26: iQIYI · Scream Night

Lin Jingyi: "..."

The carriage returned to silence.

But everyone's thoughts had already drifted to Weibo.

Meng Yixun collapsed, the pattern of domestic entertainment young actors and traffic changed. Can they profit from it?

For a time, in the quiet carriage, everyone was holding a phone, making the sound of "swish, swish" scrolling through their phones, eating melon + contacting the company.

Chi Ye didn't speak again either.

He was thinking about the Scream Night.

Reasonably speaking, with his status, he was definitely qualified to participate in the Scream Night.

But the problem was, he had previously had a terrifying three-consecutive-flop experience on the iQIYI platform.

This once scared iQIYI's film and television department into thinking he was "inauspicious in his early years."

Now that his popularity is not as good as before, not being invited is reasonable.

Then taking advantage of the gap in these few days, let's finalize the "Loop" crew's problem as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Chi Ye picked up his phone again and sent a message to Ke Ke.

Thus, there was no more talk along the way until they returned to the "See You" cabin and the live broadcast restarted, and everyone recovered a bit of human vitality.

"Cook, cook, starving to death."

"Little Huang, is there too much green bean? I can't eat it."

Yang Zi looked at Teacher Huang pouring half of the poisonous green beans into the pot in one breath, feeling anxious.

Teacher Huang turned his head and tasted the water temperature with his hand: "It's fine."

"Yes, it's fine."

Chi Ye walked into the kitchen with Shi Daifu and came to another stove, casually comforting: "Eat the rest when you go down."

"The underworld has to eat too, right?"

Yang Zi rarely didn't refute Chi Ye. He stared at Teacher Huang's finger that was stuck in his mouth, feeling nauseous: "Did you taste it? Little Huang?"

"Hehe."

Teacher Huang smiled slightly, didn't speak, and started burying his head in "making poison."

"... What are we eating for lunch?"

Chi Ye withdrew his gaze, mourned for the child for two seconds, and then cared about his own lunch.

After a day and a half of understanding, he already knew that the boxing champion was known as the Little Chef King.

She was the true "See You" number one chef!

After all, she eats a lot, so naturally, she would study how to make food delicious.

Following her, Chi Ye felt incomparably safe.

"... What do you want to eat?"

Shi Daifu tied her apron nimbly, looked at Chi Ye with a pair of beautiful apricot eyes, then lowered them again, asking in a small voice.

"I want to eat this, and this, and also, also..."

Chi Ye didn't speak, and the Old Buddha who was following them happily started "pointing at dishes and meat": "Sister Shishi, it's best to add some additives!"

Shi Daifu: "... Ah?"

"You're even commenting on it?"

Chi Ye glanced at her sideways and casually helped the Old Buddha find an excuse: "The young lady doesn't recognize seasonings, she has a heavy taste, add more cumin... hmm, you look at the rest, we trust you."

Shi Daifu came back to her senses and nodded lightly: "Good."

"I'll transfer the money to you first."

Chi Ye saw Shi Daifu hadn't washed her hands yet and prepared to share the bonus given by the production team with Shi Daifu.

Shi Daifu subconsciously pushed back: "No need, you keep it."

"No, you did all the work, we might not be in the same group next time, let's split it."

Chi Ye was very measured when he was serious, and transferred 700 to Shi Daifu on WeChat.

"Why... why is it 700?"

Shi Daifu was stunned.

"You did all the work, distribution according to labor, no problem."

Chi Ye feigned generosity, saw Shi Daifu's hesitant face, paused, observed the boxing champion's micro-expressions, and waved his hand broadly: "It's fine, accept it."

"Good."

Shi Daifu confirmed the receipt decisively.

Chi Ye: "..."

No, sister, you really accepted it?

I was just saying!

"hhh, Chi Ye didn't learn his lesson?"

"Laughing to death, everyone saw Chi Ye's politeness, only Shi Shi took it seriously."

"This pair is no weaker than Xia Xia and Chi Ye on the show!"

The Old Buddha also squinted at Chi Ye: "Teacher Chi, it's fine, it's only 700 yuan."

Chi Ye: "..."

He saw Shi Daifu acting like nothing happened and had already started processing vegetables. He thought for a moment, leaned over with a mysterious look, and asked: "Is the money enough to spend? If not, I still have 300 here."

Shi Daifu was stunned, hurriedly saying: "It's enough, it's enough."

"Enough to spend."

Chi Ye nodded: "Then transfer some back to me."

Shi Daifu: "Ah?"

"Pfft."

The Old Buddha had just secretly taken a sip of happy water, and upon hearing this, she sprayed it out directly.

It's over!

"This is..."

Shi Daifu already smelled a cola flavor.

"This is pure additive, non-natural French underground mountain spring water."

Chi Ye spoke nonsense, and Shi Daifu looked at him again, breaking her record.

No talk.

"Cough, cough... Teacher Chi, you... you..."

Over here, the Old Buddha coughed a few times, pointing at Chi Ye and unable to speak.

"How much?"

Shi Daifu suddenly asked.

"Ah?"

Chi Ye was stunned.

Shi Daifu looked at him, her voice soft: "Didn't you ask me to transfer some back? How much? I'll transfer it to you."

Chi Ye: "..."

No... is she too honest?

He just saw Shi Daifu like this and wanted to tease her to liven up the atmosphere, otherwise wouldn't it be very boring to get along in the future?

Embarrassed upon hearing this: "Just joking with you, I don't want it, you keep it."

"Oh."

Shi Daifu nodded, put away her phone, and went to cook.

Chi Ye: "..."

It really is true... boring.

Yang Zi said many things wrong, but the evaluation of the boxing champion was right.

This girl, she is a bit autistic!

Of course, the autistic girl's culinary skills were impeccable.

An hour later, "Chi Ye's group" officially started eating.

Chi Ye looked at the "Manchu Han Imperial Feast" on the table that was full of color, fragrance, and taste, and then looked at the "shabby" appearance of the other two groups, feeling a bit dazed for a while.

Is he sure he's participating in "See You"?

Is Teacher Huang in this show?

Please, he hopes he can eat the food made by the Chef King every day!

Thinking this, Chi Ye tasted a few mouthfuls of the food with chopsticks, his eyes brightened, and he directly gave a thumbs up: "Delicious, really delicious!"

"About ten Chef Kings more than Teacher Huang!"

Shi Daifu was a bit embarrassed by the praise, and what was even more embarrassing was that she had to maintain "restraint" in front of the camera and couldn't eat too ugly.

Chi Ye didn't notice this detail. He was really admiring Shi Daifu now and asked sincerely: "How did you know my taste is light, and I don't like too salty and heavy flavors?"

He just tasted all the dishes placed on his side and found that they were all exceptionally in line with his own taste.

Clearly, it wasn't like this last night.

He felt his sandwich tasted much better in the morning, but he didn't think much about it at the time.

"..." Shi Daifu was a bit nervous when she heard Chi Ye's question, her hands placed on her lap unnaturally.

Chi Ye: "... It's fine if you don't want to say it."

"No."

Shi Daifu was afraid Chi Ye would misunderstand, paused, lowered her apricot eyes, and said in a small voice: "I saw you last night... last night you tasted a few mouthfuls of those heavy-salt and heavy-oil dishes, and then didn't eat anymore, so..."

"If you're not satisfied, I'll change it back next time."

Chi Ye: "..."

"Wow, it really is!"

The Old Buddha was surprised: "The dishes on my side are heavy oil and heavy salt, I like to eat a heavier taste."

Chi Ye: What kind of boxing champion and chef king is this?

Clearly a "virtuous wife and mother"!

Of course... you have to ignore the cruel fact that she can easily carry him, who is 1.83 meters tall, and her boxing and sweeping legs will make a sonic boom.

"Sister Shishi, you are really a treasure girl!"

The Old Buddha was very satisfied with eating.

Although, she actually didn't eat as well as the spicy strips with additives...

But Shi Daifu's meticulous care and "soft and weak" personality made her feel kindness.

"Who? Who is a treasure?"

Suddenly, a creature like a ghost floated past them.

The three were startled and turned their heads in unison.

They saw Yang Zi holding a dinner plate, looking at their sumptuous lunch with a sallow face.

"?"

Chi Ye was dissatisfied: "No, Teacher Yang Zi, why are you like a ghost, without any movement."

"Cough, cough... you guys, so much stuff, can you finish it?"

Yang Zi didn't care about face at this time. He didn't intend to come over to beg for food, but after looking at it a few times while passing by, he still couldn't hold back.

"You stay away from me first, don't pass the toxins to me."

Chi Ye kept his distance from him first, then was surprised: "Hey!"

Yang Zi was startled: "What's wrong?"

"Why is your face green?!"

"Ah?!"

Yang Zi was stunned, his face turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, his voice trembling: "It's over, did I really get poisoned? That shouldn't be..."

"Where's the mirror? I want to look in the mirror!"

As he spoke, Yang Zi couldn't care about continuing to beg and ran to look in the mirror with staggering steps.

"... Teacher Chi, you're really bad."

The Old Buddha witnessed the whole process and felt that Chi Ye was "too bad": "Look at how you scared Teacher Yang Zi, he wasn't green originally, but now he's green."

"Be cautious in words and deeds."

Chi Ye refuted: "This 'green' isn't a good word, how can you say Teacher Yang Zi is green? He just got divorced!"

Jin Xia: "..."

Shi Daifu: "..."

A meal ended happily and satisfactorily on the topic of whether Teacher Yang Zi was "green or not."

During the period, Chi Ye finally sent some "big meals" to the other two groups.

—No way, Shi Daifu had already made them. Although the boxing champion didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious she was embarrassed, but these extra dishes were clearly made for the other two groups.

She herself was definitely embarrassed to send them, so only Chi Ye could do this work.

The first lunch of the "See You" cabin was happy for everyone. After the meal, Chi Ye helped Shi Daifu clean up the dining table, and then welcomed the production team's official "announcement."

"Everyone."

In the living room.

The general director held a megaphone: "In view of the fact that most members of the 'See You' cabin have to carry out 'personal work' in the next two days, our production team has decided to change from indoor to outdoor. In the next two days, everyone can move freely, conduct outdoor work live broadcasts, and take a two-day 'vacation'."

"I also hope everyone's work goes smoothly, we look forward to the day the 'See You' family returns to the cabin."

"It's quite sentimental."

Chi Ye evaluated.

The general director glanced at him and didn't speak.

Everyone cooperated and clapped.

Because "See You" is a special live recording, accidents are inevitable.

The production team had long considered this situation and applied "free activities, but live broadcast."

When guests go out to walk some necessary announcements, "See You" will send a personal PD to follow.

Of course, because many announcements involve privacy and confidentiality, this live broadcast right is entirely up to the guests themselves, and the degree of freedom is much higher than in the cabin.

And these few days of "rest" will not be counted in the 21 days of *Seeing You*, belonging instead to the post-production Easter egg extras.

Hmm, the kind that requires opening an SVIP to watch.

"If you ask me, it's the production team, they know how to do business."

After the announcement, the guests dispersed. From now on, everyone could actually leave.

The guests who were going to participate in the Scream Night started contacting their teams, waiting for the team's arrival.

Chi Ye didn't have much of a team for the time being, told Ke Ke, and started packing his things.

"Teacher Chi, Teacher Chi."

Jin Xia contacted her team reluctantly, then sneaked over again.

"Aren't you going to try on the clothes for tomorrow night's party?"

Chi Ye was surprised.

The Old Buddha was looking at his room; this was the first time she had come in.

"It's already been decided, I've tried it several times, the evening gown will be air-freighted over tonight... hmm... it's pretty clean, but... what is this?"

Jin Xia carried her little hands behind her back, picked up a finger-sized "toothpaste," curious: "Is there still this kind of toothpaste? Which brand is it?"

"'Home' brand."

Chi Ye replied casually.

"'Home'...?" The Old Buddha was surprised: "There's actually a luxury brand I haven't heard of?"

Chi Ye: "..."

"Do you have anything to do?"

"Yes, yes."

Jin Xia was distracted, staring at Chi Ye for a long time.

Chi Ye: "?"

"Cough, cough."

The Old Buddha withdrew her gaze, seriously extending her little hand to Chi Ye: "Teacher Chi, you took so much bonus, is the money enough to spend?"

Chi Ye: "..."

"Not enough."

"Not enough?!"

Jin Xia's peach-blossom eyes flashed with surprise, very "angry," hands on hips: "Teacher Chi, how can you say it's not enough?"

Chi Ye was speechless: "It's really not enough."

"No, you should be like Sister Shi Shi, say it's enough!"

Chi Ye: "... You're so boring, then I'll say it again."

The Old Buddha waved her hand: "Say it again, say it again!"

"Teacher Chi, is the money enough to spend?"

"Not enough."

The Old Buddha: "..."

She glared at Chi Ye, her cutesy voice raised a few decibels: "If it's not enough, then save it!!"

Chi Ye couldn't stop laughing: "Alright, I will save it."

"Hmph!"

The Old Buddha turned around angrily and was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and turned her head again: "Teacher Chi."

"Hmm? Anything else?"

"Are you really not participating in the Scream Night?" Jin Xia's peach-blossom eyes were slightly bored: "If you don't come, no one will take me to eat junk food."

Chi Ye: "..."

He said truthfully: "Do you think I don't want to go? I really didn't receive an invitation, they think my status isn't high enough."

"It doesn't matter." Jin Xia stood up upon hearing this, waving her little hand: "As long as you want to go, I can make you go, it's very simple!"

Chi Ye glanced at her in surprise: "Really?"

"Of course!" The Old Buddha was unhappy: "I'll ask my family... cough, cough, my personal status is still very high, alright, the organizer has to give me face!"

"How about it? I'll help you settle it?"

"Oh." Chi Ye thought for a moment, then nodded: "Not going."

"Good, then I'll... eh?" The Old Buddha was full of question marks: "......?"

"You go participate obediently, I have other things."

Chi Ye was busy finalizing his "first play" as soon as possible, which was obviously more important to his career.

"Alright then."

The Old Buddha was a bit reluctant. If she missed this opportunity, could she still find a chance to sneak out?

I guess I can only wait until "See You" starts, and find a time when the production team isn't paying attention, and drag Chi Ye out.

Annoying! ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
