Yu Antong futilely resisted for half a minute under Xing Lixuan’s handsome attack. He, of course, lost. “Yes, you can do whatever you want.”
That’s right, being handsome can let you do whatever you want.
Xing Lixuan laughed. His low and magnetic laughter made Yu Antong’s ears felt pregnant.
‘Ahhh! This dog man simply killed me with his beauty trick!’
“Husband, give me a kiss,” Yu Antong pouted unbearably and asked for a kiss.
Narrowing his eyes made his phoenix’ eye shape became more prominent. It was enchanting, coupled with his pursed moist lips. Yu Antong was handsome, with a touch of youthful cuteness. This was the highest temptation for Xing Lixuan.
Xing Lixuan looked down at Yu Antong for a while, and then kissed him. Fearing that deepening the kiss would start a prairie fire, Xing Lixuan immediately straightened up after the kiss, then started the car.
“Stinky husband, you don’t kiss well,” Yu Antong was not satisfied at all. He loudly complained, “Why are you teasing me all of a sudden? It makes me want to have sex with you right now.”
Xing Lixuan’s throat tightened. “Don’t talk nonsense.”
He wanted to kiss Yu Antong when he saw that kissy cat emoji he sent. But now he really regretted flirting with Yu Antong, this guy was not ashamed of anything.
“Me, talking nonsense?” Yu Antong feigned innocence, “Hm~ we never do a car play right? That can be arranged.”
Xing Lixuan stared at the road ahead with dark eyes. “Don’t even think about it.”
Yu Antong was about to give it a try, when suddenly a bucket of cold water was poured on him. “Why not? I want it!”
“It’s enough to do it at home.”
–What he meant was: Xing Lixuan did not want Yu Antong’s allure to be accidentally seen by others. The strong possessive desire in Xing Lixuan’s heart would never allow such a thing to happen.
“You don’t think we’re going to do it in the parking lot outside, right?” Yu Antong smiled deliberately, “I’m talking about the garage at home. Hey, that’s your own wild imagination, don’t blame me!”
Xing Lixuan glanced at him. “When you give birth to our son, we’ll reconsider it.” All accounts will be settled together at that time.
“I’m waiting!” Yu Antong was not afraid of Xing Lixuan’s threat at all. Instead, he looked forward to it.
“Here Comes the God of Chefs!” or shortened to “God of Chefs” started recording its first episode on Tuesday, and it would be aired the next weekend.
This program was sponsored by Han Lele’s company, and the recording location was at Jiangcheng Radio and Television Building. On Tuesday, Yu Antong brought Lin Haoning and Jiang Yuxiu to the recording location.
The staff of the program group led them into the recording site, and then told them to wait here first. The official start will be half an hour later.
The situation at the scene was a bit different from Yu Antong’s imagination.
There were many people who came to the show in a very large studio. Yu Antong roughly estimated that there should be hundreds of people. When they came in, there were already people who came a little earlier waiting, and there were still people coming after they took their seats. All of them were brought in by the staff.
Unlike Yu Antong’s imagination that everyone who came to participate in this show was a chef masters, there seemed to be all kinds of laymans and hobbyists on the scene.
“Master1as in 师父 “Shifu”, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Haoning asked, full of questions. He looked around and saw that there was a girl in the crowd wearing a white gauze skirt and a fancy headpiece – in short, a big attire taboo for professional chefs.
“Master” was Lin Haoning and Jiang Yuxiu’s new appellation for Yu Antong. They have always called him by “Boss”, and that felt weird and unfamiliar for this kind of show. Yu Antong was younger than them, so he couldn’t be called “Ge”. Now that Yu Antong is taking them here, it was natural to call Yu Antong that to denote their respect and his superior skill.
Yu Antong shook his head in a bewildered expression, “I’m also at a loss.”
–Han Lele didn’t tell him that it would be such a strange scene.
Before they came in, the program staff took away their mobile phones. But now, Yu Antong wanted to call Han Lele to ask about the situation.
Seeing a handsome boy holding a basketball, Jiang Yuxiu’s mouth twitched despite her best effort to hold it back. She hissed in ire, “Is this a gourmet variety show or an audition scene? Why are there so many non-chefs here?!”
‘What the hell is this!’ is what she wished she could say out loud.
Yu Antong asked an aunt beside him. She was wearing an oversized jacket with flowers embroidered on it, and was carrying a big handkerchief. In short, she didn’t look like a professional chef. “Hello, Auntie, are you also here to participate in the show ‘God of Chefs’?”
He now highly suspects that they are in the wrong place.
“That’s right. Ah young man, you must also be a fill-in recruit,” The aunt replied in a low voice once she realized someone was talking to her.
‘Fill-in recruit?’
Yu Antong was full of doubts, but he didn’t show it. Instead, he asked very eloquently, “Coincidentally, you too?”
The aunt believed that Yu Antong was like her – she was here only to make up the numbers, to make the variety show seem more lively and popular. Now that the recording was still in preparation, she was bored, so she chatted happily with Yu Antong.
“My son is the assistant director of this show. He said that he would hire people to fill in the heads to create gimmicks for the show. He would pay 300 yuan a day for a good performance, and he could pay extra money for good-looking ones. When I heard it, I was like, ‘oh my God! Money is so easy to earn!’ Anyway, I’m free at home, besides square dancing at times. So I came here to fill in my time. Hey, getting paid is also a big bonus.”
The aunt chatted amicably. Then, she asked Yu Antong, “Young man, who introduced you? How much did you get? You handsome young men should have been promised much more than Auntie.”
Yu Antong understood what was going on. This was a gimmick used by the program group to attract viewers. In the first episode, a large number of people were gathered among the really capable and skilled chefs to create a good plot. Of course, these people were only here for the episode, and would be easily eliminated. After that, the real competition will begin.
He smiled and made up a lie to get along with this aunt: “I was introduced by a friend. My friend knows the owner of this show, and said that if I perform well, I may participate in several episodes.”
“Ah, so your condition is like this,” The aunt nodded in understanding, “You are so good-looking, young girls like to watch it. If you can up the ratings, you will definitely not be eliminated easily.”
Yu Antong chatted with the aunt for a while, and then carefully observed the crowd. He found that there were a small number of people who were dressed in normal chef uniforms.
Yu Antong said to Lin Haoning and Jiang Yuxiu, “I’m careless, we should also prepare team uniforms.”
So neatly dressed, how handsome!
Jiang Yuxiu replied, “Then should we wear our store’s uniform? There’s the restaurant logo on it, so we can kill two birds in one stone and use it for a small-time promotion.”
Yu Antong: “The clothes in the shop are too loose. It’s comfortable to wear, but it doesn’t look good.”
One of the main principles of the design of the chef’s uniform in the store was to wear comfortable and practical clothes, so the aesthetic was not very good. It’s like a so-so school uniform, it was definitely inappropriate to wear for a show recording.
Yu Antong continued, “There are a lot of people in this episode. For us, the recording should be relatively easy. It doesn’t matter whether we wear it or not. After the recording is over, I will ask my friend whether the program team will allow us to wear our team uniform. If we are allowed, I will hire someone to design uniforms for us.”
Half an hour passed between the talks, and the staff of the program group maintained order.
When everyone quieted down, the host came to the stage, opening the recording, “Welcome to the recording site of ‘Here Comes the God of Chefs!’. As you can see, there are many people here today. But! Only one of you will become the God of Chefs!”
“And only when you complete the first round of challenges will you have the opportunity to meet the five professional judges; and then you will be eligible to enter the real competition!” The host mobilized everyone’s emotions, “Do you have the confidence to complete the challenge, and meet the five judges?”
“We have!”
The crowd cheers loudly, the echoing boomed hurt Yu Antong’s ears.
Regardless, seeing the situation, Han Lele was really reliable.
“Without much further ado, let’s announce our first round of challenges!” The host took out a card from an envelope and read: “If you want to become a chef, you must have good knife skills. Here, we will give you ten kinds of ingredients for everyone! Please use at least five different knife techniques to process them. The time limit is 10 minutes, so… chop-chop! The competition starts… now!”
This challenge was too simple for Yu Antong – it was barely a challenge. Yu Antong said to Lin Haoning, “Come on, I will increase the difficulty for you. Use ten kinds of knife techniques to process all the ingredients used.”
Lin Haoning did not speak, but made an OK gesture.
Yu Antong leisurely folded his arms and looked at the excitement, like a student who didn’t know the answer and wanted to cheat.
It’s a piece of cake for them here, but the other groups were very lively. At the very least, the program staff’s trick was innovative enough.
The author has something to say:
Han Lele: Don’t worry, I’m absolutely reliable!
Tongtong: As if!
