The cat bed had been brought in by Xiang Feng's people, shaped like a red ingot. It was fluffy and soft, and when Xiao Naofu jumped into it, he couldn't help but roll around happily.
It seems like Xiang Yi spoiled him quite heavily.
As for that man with the peach blossom eyes*, 'Hmph. Don't think you could steal Xiang Yi's adoration just because you are handsome!'
But why did he have such a familiar aura? If given the chance, he would definitely check it out carefully.
Under the eager anticipation of the Yan father and son, mealtime finally began.
Yan Zhenhua had scooped the dishes himself after finding the largest bucket in the kitchen. The netizens in the live comments were all saying how down to earth this famous director was.
They took out some naan but left the others to remain heated inside the pot.
The meal was accompanied by exquisite side dishes, which included a fresh salad Xiang Yi had tossed together as well as some pickled kimchi and radish.
"Okay, let's eat." As Yan Zhenhua finished speaking, he shamelessly picked up a piece of chicken for himself.
The chicken had been free-range and grass fed, so its meat was firm and delicious. It was even more fragrant when stewed in the ground pot. Aside from the pepper, they didn't add any additional seasoning, which amplified its freshness.
Matched with a sip of plum wine, the fresh and intense flavor of the fruit provided a refreshing cleanser for the palette. It was unbeatable!
Shi Sui picked up some vegetables to taste. Regardless if it was the bamboo shoots, or the dried green beans, they had all been soaked in the chicken broth. It was delicious but not greasy, and a hint of spice would blossom on one's tongue without overwhelming the palette. He particularly loved the mushrooms, which had a fresh and slippery taste, and even found it more appetizing than the chicken.
Yan Nai was another matter. As inhaling mouthfuls of naan bread after meat after vegetables, he had actually learned to rip apart the naan to fill it with veggies and meat, as if he were creating a hamburger.
—[This is a f*cking culinary show!! /smile /smile]
—[I'm going crazy. I've been eating along with this stream not only while I am cooking, but also while I'm eating. My stomach has become round!]
—[Where's the drama? Where's the fighting? Where is the romance? How come there's no content aside from eating? Fine, fine; I'll stop hating. Gonna go make some instant noodles]
The crew had realized that whenever it was mealtime, the comment sections and the live comments would be unexpectedly harmonious…
Even Xiang Yi managed to escape the toxicity...
Li Jianyu's expression suddenly changed from trance to sudden realization.
He finally understood the useful reason behind why Daddy Shi had recommended Xiang Yi!
There was no romance there!
He just wanted a good meal!
Moreover, Xiang Yi's culinary skills were quite excellent. She might be able to cleanse herself of her rumors, although gaining fans was still out of the question. But at least she could reduce her anti-fans.
The audience's attention was focused on the dining table. Only the people in Xiang Yi's broadcast room could see that she did not join them at the table but had separated some ground pot chicken and veggies into small plates, putting them all in a tray.
The camera then panned to Xiang Yi as she entered the manor, while the cameraman waited outside.
The audience: ???
—[For the manager? Why can't that be filmed?]
—[The manager probably doesn't care if he's filmed, but if it was another random person, then they probably won't want to be filmed]
Suddenly, everyone understood. After entering the automated door with her facial recognition, a slender silhouette of a male appeared for a brief instant before the camera.
The audience: !!!
—[Her manager isn't that tall. It's not him!]
—[Isn't the vase fairy desperately clinging onto Shi Yingdo? But why is she delivering food for another man behind his back?! ]
—[I have a bold thought, what if it's her sugar daddy... ]
