[Why do I feel like Sheng Chuan’s here to help Yan Ruo and Bai Lin? Don’t you think he’s targeting Chu Yi too much?]

[l don’t think he’s picking on Chu Yi. It’s just that she’s too annoying. She always says things that make people unhappy. If I were Sheng Chuan, I’d also like to pick on her.]

[You guys are really going too far. What did our Chu Yi do wrong? She’s just a little more straightforward. She’s still better than those who are full of schemes and take 18 turns in one sentence.]

[Yes, yes, yes. Your Chu Yi’s the most innocent girl in the world. Everyone looks at her and wants to harm her. Everyone scolds her because they’re jealous of her. She didn’t ask for it.]

After this incident and with someone speaking up for her, Bai Lin did not want to stand out anymore. So, she relaxed and leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes to rest.

Last night, Granny had pulled her aside and said a lot. She was very sad because she would not be able to see Granny for a full 20 days. As a result, she slept very late last night and woke up early this morning to rush to the program’s recording venue. She was really hungry and sleepy now.

Bai Lin closed her eyes and subconsciously grabbed the blanket Yan Ruo had pa.s.sed to her and hugged it to her chest. Actually, when she closed her eyes, those sharp glints were hidden by her long eyelashes, and she looked much gentler.

Just like that, Yan Ruo sat quietly at the side and watched Bai Lin sleep. The warm afternoon sun shone through the window and onto the two of them. This scene was captured by many fans and saved as wallpapers.

Sheng Chuan also tactfully brought Jian Xi to the kitchen to help.

At this moment, Ruan Jing had already prepared a few dishes, and the others were busy bringing the dishes to the table. There was a lot of food for the eight of them. In order to satisfy the tastes of different people, Ruan Jing had even carefully prepared different types of staple foods.

The sumptuous dishes were served and immediately received generous praise.

When Bai Lin heard the commotion, she lifted the blanket and stood up without waiting for Yan Ruo to call for her.

She stretched out of habit, but she had forgotten that she was wearing a shirt from the production group today. It was a little short, so her slender waist was inevitably exposed when she raised her arms.

Yan Ruo was quick to pull down Bai Lin’s shirt.

Bai Lin turned around to look at him in confusion. Yan Ruo looked away uneasily and said, “Your clothes today are a little short. Don’t raise your arms like that. You’ll easily expose yourself.”

When Bai Lin heard this, she suddenly remembered that the clothes she was wearing today were arranged by the production team. She frowned and said, “l forgot that I’m wearing this kind of dress today. I don’t know why they made me wear it. Why didn’t they let anyone else wear the same?”

As she spoke, she walked toward the dining room. She did not notice that Yan Ruo had reached out his right hand to rub his nose behind her.

The dining room in the villa was set up with chairs on both sides of the long

table. It was obvious that the male and female guests were to sit on both sides

each.

However, there were people who did not play by the rules. Bai Lin sat at a corner of the table. Yan Ruo followed closely behind her and sat on her left. Chu Yi immediately followed after her and sat on Yan Ruffs left.

Sheng Chuan’s eyes darted around, and he sat directly opposite Chu Yi.

Soon, all the dishes were served and everyone took their seats.

He Ao saw that Bai Lin was sitting next to Yan Ruo, and he could only sit in the opposite corner far away from Bai Lin. His eyes were a little sad.

Bai Lin did not notice this at all. She took a bite of the steamed fish and smiled at Ruan Jing. “Your cooking skills are really not bad!”

Being complimented by her idol, Ruan Jing could not help but smile, revealing two deep dimples. “Lin-jie, eat more if you like it. I made a lot!”

In order to maintain her image, Chu Yi only ate a small amount of food that would not stain her lipstick.

She picked up a piece of stir-fried shiitake mushroom with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully because she had seen He Ao washing them in the kitchen just now.

“Ah, this shiitake mushroom is really delicious. He Ao, you’re really good at cooking, aren’t you?” Chu Yi looked at He Ao and complimented him as she supported her chin with one hand.

He Ao was a little surprised. “l was only in charge of washing them. It was

Xiao Jing who cooked them.”

Surprisingly, Chu Yi did not feel embarra.s.sed at all. She tilted her head and smiled. “Shiitake mushrooms are hard to wash. I feel that you are a good family man.”

“Shiitake mushrooms are very hard to wash..” Sheng Chuan picked up a piece of shiitake mushroom and imitated Chu Yi’s words in a strange voice, then asked the piece of mushroom, “Are you hard to wash?”
