Chapter 93: Chapter 93: The Little Squirrel in the Snack Pile
Qin Xin was not in the country at the moment, which delayed the spur-of-the-moment trip by three days until Qin Xin returned.
Cheng Guodong calculated the time; three days were enough to shoot a commercial, so he decided to first make her known through the TV.
Assistant Wang walked in carrying a big box, followed by two young people, each also carrying a big box.
Upon opening the three big boxes, they were filled with various kinds of snacks for taste testing.
“These are products from brands that have extended an olive branch wanting to collaborate. Try them and see which one tastes the best, and we will accept that advertisement,” he said.
Tao Ti touched her pocket, where she kept the chocolate she had received from several collaborations with Hua Jinyan.
She forgot to tell Hua Jinyan she hoped he hadn’t gone to the designated place after seeing that she didn’t show up and had returned quickly by now.
At this moment, Hua Jinyan, who she was worried about, appeared at the temple gate at the agreed time every day. He did not step out of the temple gates, and the Evil Spirits lurked restlessly but did not dare to step into the temple’s gates.
Hua Jinyan waited and waited but Little Taotie did not show up, which made him worried.
He took out his phone, then remembered that Little Taotie did not have a phone.
It was already getting dark, and he couldn’t linger here any longer. The Evil Spirits would become stronger by nightfall and might find a way to force him away from the temple’s gates.
Hua Jinyan returned to his dormitory only to hear Tao Bin sighing heavily, “My sister was taken away to shoot a commercial. I don’t even know when she will be back. The mulberries I picked this morning are still with me.”
Hua Jinyan’s eyes dimmed, and he looked extremely gloomy.
Tao Bin noticed his return and asked with concern, “Where have you been all day? I didn’t see you at all.”
“Just wandering around the mountains,” Hua Jinyan responded dully.
“Your father is really amazing. I need to thank your father. If it weren’t for him sharing the video, my sister wouldn’t have become famous so quickly.”
Upon hearing this, Hua Jinyan bowed his head, thinking darkly if she hadn’t become famous, maybe she could have stayed in the mountains with him forever.
Thinking of Little Taotie’s innocent and radiant smile, Hua Jinyan pursed his lips, feeling that his thoughts were both dark and despicable. If she knew what he was thinking, she would surely hate him and avoid him, wouldn’t she?
“My sister isn’t here, so you benefit! Little junior brother, here, these are the mulberries I picked today; they’re really sweet!”
Hua Jinyan shook his head, “I don’t like sweets.”
“Don’t lie to me. You’re just trying to act cool by saying you don’t like sweets, right? I clearly saw you secretly eating chocolate; you obviously like sweets!”
“It’s not the same,” Hua Jinyan shook his head.
Little Chubby Monk stared with wide eyes, looking hurt, “You actually hid chocolate and secretly ate it without sharing it with me! Oh! You’re too bad, I always share my goodies with you!”
Tao Bin couldn’t bear to watch, retorting, “When has the junior brother ever accepted? He has refused every time.”
“But I asked him each time. If he wanted it, I would definitely have given it to him!”
“Stop joking. If he had accepted once, you wouldn’t have asked a second time. You know he wouldn’t accept, that’s why you keep asking every time.”
Little Chubby Monk: “…”
Seeing him pitiful, Tao Bin handed over a box of mulberries, “He doesn’t eat them, you take them!”
The depressed Little Chubby Monk instantly brightened up.
Hua Jinyan opened a video on his phone, which was a commercial shot by the company featuring Little Taotie, shared with all his followers.
In the video, Little Taotie sat on a cushion with the ground around her covered with colorful wrappers, looking like a little squirrel who had tumbled into a pile of snacks, blinking her big eyes, cheeks stuffed full.
