Chapter 583: She Has Something against Me?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen returned to the guesthouse hotel with the “spoils” they had bought from the supermarket, they happened to meet another two other couples.
It was Lu Ruman and Zheng Yu. Beside them was Ain. She was focused on fiddling with the camera in her hand with a cold expression.
“I’ll help you carry it.” The strong Mu Zhe took the initiative to walk over.
After all, everyone would eat at night. It was fine if they didn’t work hard to go to the supermarket to buy things, but when they came back, they helped out a little.
Mu Zhe reached out and took a portion to help Huo Yichen share the pressure. Then, they walked towards the kitchen together.
After everyone completed the filming missions in succession, they also learned about the content of the live-stream at night from Director Yuan Qing. The guesthouse hotel had also informed them that they could use one of their kitchens tonight so that it would be easier to deal with the ingredients.
Murong Qiao watched as Huo Yichen’s figure disappeared down the corridor. Then, she moved her sore wrists and walked to the resting area where everyone was sitting to find a seat.
She looked around. “Why don’t I see Zuo Qing and the others?”
Thinking of that very lively girl, Murong Qiao had a deep impression of Zuo Qing. At night, it was lively, but she was the only one who was missing.
Lu Ruman was annoyed by Murong Qiao because Zheng Yu had talked to her today, so she deliberately pretended not to hear her. In the end, it was Ain who took the initiative to answer Murong Qiao’s question.
“They’re out shopping.”
When Zuo Qing heard that Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen were going to buy ingredients, she felt embarrassed, so she pulled Yue Ziyu along and prepared to go out to buy something else. After telling the director, she disappeared.
Speaking of the devil, Zuo Qing and Yue Ziyu appeared at the door just as Ain finished explaining.
“I’ll leave these to you to put in the kitchen. I’m going to rest!” Zuo Qing stuffed everything into Yue Ziyu’s hand.
Then, as if she was afraid that Yue Ziyu would resist, Zuo Qing slipped away after stuffing the things to him and ran towards Murong Qiao and the others.
“I’m back!” Zuo Qing shouted and sat beside Murong Qiao.
Among the three girls, Ain was cold and aloof, and Lu Ruman was also acting strange today, so Zuo Qing chose to sit beside Murong Qiao without hesitation.
In the end, Lu Ruman saw this action, but it made her even more unhappy. The atmosphere around her became much colder.
All of them gathered around Murong Qiao…
Lu Ruman endured the discomfort in her heart. She felt that she might lose her composure if she stayed any longer, so she stood up and hurriedly said, “I’ll go back to my room to rest for a while.” Then, she ignored the reactions of the others and left.
After all, there was no live-stream now. It didn’t matter what she did.
Zuo Qing had just sat down when she saw Lu Ruman leave. When she saw her like this, she subconsciously thought of many things.
“She… Does she have something against me?” Zuo Qing looked at Murong Qiao and pointed at herself.
Otherwise, why would she leave as soon as she came over?
Murong Qiao shook her head. “Maybe she’s not feeling well.”
She casually said, not interested in Lu Ruman’s situation.
“Oh…” Zuo Qing pulled her hair and replied in a low voice.
She was a sensitive person to begin with. After Lu Ruman left, she really couldn’t help but let her thoughts run wild.
Ain interrupted and said, “She’s just in a foul mood today. Don’t worry about it.”
She had been pulling a long face since the shoot, as if everyone owed her something. She had even delayed the work of many people because of this. Ain hated such people the most.
While they were chatting, Huo Yichen, Zheng Yu, and Yue Ziyu returned.
“The venue is already prepared. Let’s go to the backyard.” Mu Zhe was as enthusiastic as ever, his gaze focused on Ain.
There were many outdoor areas in the guesthouse hotel. This time, the production team had also borrowed a backyard venue to make it easier to film. They had already set up a barbecue grill and many other equipment in advance.
When everyone heard this, they agreed to go to the backyard.
“I’ll deal with the ingredients later. Wait here for a while.” Mu Zhe was the first to take over the kitchen cabinet.
Zuo Qing was clearly in high spirits as well. “Then I’ll go too!”
“You’re going? To blow up the kitchen?” Yue Ziyu sneered at the side.
Murong Qiao wanted to say that she would help too, but Huo Yichen, who had seen through her thoughts, suppressed her first.
“You’ve been running around all day and your feet are hurting. Just rest. I’ll help you make your share.” Huo Yichen’s words this time were unquestionable.
Murong Qiao looked up at him. “You know how to cook?”
Thinking that she had never seen Huo Yichen cook before, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but doubt this.
“I’ll surprise you later.” Huo Yichen gently flicked her forehead.
When everyone arrived at the backyard, the live-stream had already started, so the audience naturally saw Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao’s interaction.
“Hiss, it’s clearly a very normal teasing, but why do I feel a little sweet?”
“I like it like this. It’s ordinary and inadvertently filled with love. It’s simply my favorite!”
“This level of sweetness is perfect. After all, it’s not the kind of industrial sugar essence produced in the entertainment industry.”
“As expected, only the sugar dregs I found are the best!! It hits the spot, hehe.”
The comments were filled with joy.
With Huo Yichen’s words, the others naturally echoed.
“That’s right. You all went out today. You’re understandably tired after buying a lot of things. If you have to, go back to your rooms and rest.” Mu Zhe nodded.
Ain also said, “I’ll handle this side. Just leave the kitchen to Mu Zhe.”
Everyone had the same opinion, so Murong Qiao could only smile helplessly and sit at the side. She waved at Huo Yichen, indicating that she would stay here.
Hence, everyone was divided into two groups. Mu Zhe and Zuo Qing went to the kitchen to deal with the ingredients and seasonings. The remaining Ain, Zheng Yu, and Murong Qiao, who was forced to rest, were in charge of preparing the equipment and other things for the outdoor event.
The sky gradually darkened, and the fog-like and turbid night sky annihilated the fiery red of the setting sun. Only a few points of starlight were still lingering in the air, making the crescent moon look especially noble and bright.
Seeing Zheng Yu fill the barbecue pit with charcoal to make fuel, Murong Qiao felt that she couldn’t help, so she turned to look for Ain.
“Just leave this matter to Zheng Yu. We don’t have much to prepare here.” Ain looked very relaxed.
The ingredients had not been brought over, so they really had nothing to do now.
However, Murong Qiao sensed that the previously very aloof Ain seemed to have talked a lot more today.
“I think you and Huo Yichen are very compatible. You’ll definitely look very good when the production team releases the film,” Ain said coolly.
Murong Qiao thought of the camera she had been playing with previously. “You’re a photographer too?”
“Not really.” Ain fiddled with the charcoal as she answered her question.
“I’m a student of the photography department.” She pointed at the camera she had placed aside. “Mu Zhe is from the swimming department.”
“It sounds like two majors that can’t get along at all,” Murong Qiao said with a smile.
Looking at the slightly red light shining from the charcoal and feeling the faint warmth rising, Murong Qiao relaxed a lot.
At this moment, she was wrapped in Huo Yichen’s thin coat, so she was not too cold..
