Yu Antong took the food from the cute little girl and threw it into the lake. The fattest swan squeezed out the other elegant swans and ate most of it.
Yu Antong was sure, the swans here have long been used to being fed by humans. Just now the fat swan saw him standing by the lake and probably swam over thinking he was going to feed it. So when it saw that he had no food in hand, it probably scoffed at him in disgust.
“You’re so fat, and you still eat!” Yu Antong pointed at the fat swan and scolded.
Swan can’t understand human speech, it only cares about eating, completely ignoring Yu Antong.
Xing Lixuan pulled him back, “Be careful that it pecks you.”
Although swans are not afraid of people and dare to come to eat, they do not let people touch them. I was still a wild animal, and still retain a natural vigilance for its survival.
There were not many people in the park, and the two walked for a while before leaving.
Because Xing Lixuan couldn’t leave the company for too long, and Yu Antong still had shooting to be done, the two returned to China by plane the next day.
When they got home, Mrs. Xing happened to be in the living room. When she saw them coming back, she stood up and took Yu Antong’s hand and asked, “How is it? What do the foreign doctors say?”
Yu Antong replied, “There is nothing wrong. The baby is very healthy, and he’s a little boy.”
“It’s okay? Oh that’s good. Ah, it’s a boy!” Mrs. Xing exclaimed happily, then she called her husband, who was on the second floor. “Lao Xing, come down quickly, Tongtong and Lixuan are back!”
Mr. Xing came down from the second floor and greeted them, “Welcome home.”
“The doctor said that there is a boy in Tongtong’s belly,” Mrs. Xing told him, “We are going to have a big fat grandson!”
“Hopefully he won’t be a brat.” Mr. Xing was not as excited as Mrs. Xing. They had Xing Lixuan as a son, who was quite a brat. So they had been looking forward to having a little granddaughter, but it seemed fate had other plans.
“How can you talk like that!” Mrs. Xing stared at slapped her husband. “How dare you despise my little grandson!”
Mr. Xing immediately changed his tune. “Whether it’s a girl or a boy, as long as they grow healthy and happy, our Xing family can be regarded as having a successor.”
At the beginning when Xing Lixuan told them that he liked men, they quickly accepted it. They all had the idea that he might adopt a child in the future, but they didn’t expect that Yu Antong would actually give birth. Whether it was a boy or a girl, it was a godsend surprise for them.
Mrs. Xing was satisfied now. Then she asked Yu Antong with concern, “Tongtong, are you tired from the flight? Do you want to take a rest?”
Yu Antong was mentally fine, but after flying for a long time, his legs were a little swollen and his waist was sore1T/L: apparently, besides the fucky-wucky air pressure that makes your ears feel weird, planes are ungodly dry, like 20% humidity. Your skin likes 60-70% humidity, so it will also suffer..
Xing Lixuan said, “If you are not sleepy, go lie down and rest for a while to promote blood circulation.”
“En.” Yu Antong nodded. After that, they went upstairs together, took a hot bath to relax, and then changed into loose and comfortable pajamas.
Yu Antong was lying on the bed, and Xing Lixuan rubbed his legs and massaged him. He asked, “How is it? Does it hurt?”
Yu Antong has thin skin and tender flesh, and his complexion was pale all-over. With little exertion, his skin would turn red, so Xing Lixuan didn’t dare to put too much strength.
“It doesn’t hurt, just do it harder,” Yu Antong said comfortably while holding his phone.
Xing Lixuan: “Don’t look at your phone while lying down, it’s not good for your eyes.”
“Let’s just see if it’s okay this time,” Yu Antong said, “The second issue of “God of Chefs!” has already been released, and I haven’t watched it yet.”
As he spoke, he clicked on the Lemon App, and when he came up, there was a familiar opening scene, which was different from the few barrages when he watched the first issue. This time, the screen was completely covered by the netizen’s comments.
[Ahhh! The second episode is finally here!]
[Come on! Come on!]
[After watching the first episode, I went to the Immortal’s Banquet. Although there was a long queue, the taste of the dishes was worth the wait.]
[I didn’t want to go out, so I bought the flash-frozen dumplings online instead. It’s the first time I thought that such frozen food can be so delicious.]
[I want to buy it too, but my mother is determined not to buy frozen food.]
[Listen to me, buy it and cook it. Let your mother taste it, and the problem will sort itself out.]
[Automatic problem resolution is too real! I also bought flash-frozen dumplings. My mother dismantled the courier and scolded me that the frozen food was unhealthy. But after she tasted it herself, she was hooked! She even asked me to purchase another bag quickly!]
[Hahaha, upstairs’ mother is so cute.]
[Really? Can’t hold back my hand to place an order!]
There were too many barrages, and Yu Antong had to set the display range and ratio of the barrages. Only after tweaking the setting could he actually watch the show and read the barrage at the same time.
After the opening credits, as the show started, more barrages began to follow the show.
[The setting is this normal?]
[It’s strange that I’m not used to the fact that there are no sand sculpture contestants.]
[Sure enough, I’m not the only one who was attracted by the popular sand sculpture contestants.]
[The director didn’t plan anything special?]
[I always feel that things are not that simple.]
[+1]
When the show host finally ordered them to exchange ingredients, the camera swept across the faces of the contestants one by one, not letting go of any trace of shock and bewilderment on their faces.
[Sure enough!]
[Hahaha! Be stunned!]
[The showrunners sure can play.]
[I feel that everyone’s mood is: the first second, “Ah, this is safe”; the next second, “Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?!”]
[Xiao gege in the last row seems to have words written on his face: “I will kill the host!”]
[Hahaha, really, rewatching it again, I feel that he is going to rush up and kill the host in the next second.]
[The host’s smirk is too smug. He truly was asking for a beating. If I was there, I would rush up immediately.]
The camera went to Yu Antong in the first row, magnified his wide eyes and open lips, and added a big “Shock!!!” on top of his head with bold letters.
‘Did I react that much at the time?’ Yu Antong recalled that although he expected that the program team might cause trouble, he didn’t expect to ask them to exchange ingredients. So he really made such a silly expression at that time.
[Ahhh! My wife’s surprised look is so cute!]
[Tongtong is like a little rabbit. I want to pet him bald!!]
[“Little rabbit” is not an apt enough comparison though. He’s more like a little fox who can occasionally be silly!]
[Wait! Pause! The way he opened his mouth blankly and exposed the tip of his tongue is so cute, I want to kiss him!]
[What kind of perverted words was that? If y’all are so brave in speaking your thoughts, I will join in too!]
The comment section’s trend started to change. Yu Antong looked at Xing Lixuan with a guilty conscience, just as Xing Lixuan was also looking at him. The two looked at each other, then Xing Lixuan asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing!”
After massaging him for a long time, Xing Lixuan stopped. He pulled the quilt to cover Yu Antong’s legs, and then laid down beside him. “What are you looking at?”
Yu Antong hurriedly dragged the progress bar to cross this section. If Xing Lixuan could see those comments, he would be forbidden to continue competing.
“You won’t let me see it?”
Xing Lixuan saw that as soon as he passed by, Yu Antong subconsciously tilted the phone screen.
Yu Antong jumped a little, but the barrage didn’t load for a moment, so the screen was empty. He raised his phone towards Xing Lixuan, “It’s not that. I just want to skip a couple unimportant scenes.”
“Give me the phone, I’ll take it.” Xing Lixuan brought the phone over and held it for Yu Antong.
The video just finished broadcasting the complaint of Cai Yingying, whose ingredients were exchanged into honeysuckle. The host commented, “The ingredients selected by Zhuang Zhouyang are indeed very difficult. It’s time for Cai Yingying’s cooking prowess to be tested. I see that the other contestants are also struggling.”
Before, the contestants were given time to think about the dishes they were going to make, and then asked them to choose the ingredients. It was easy for people to be so limited in their thinking that they couldn’t jump out of the dish they had been thinking about just now.
Another aspect was that even if they think about what they could do with the other party’s ingredients, if the other party chooses a dish that they were not good at, they would easily lose their mind.
If the ingredients are changed suddenly, the difficulty would indeed increase sharply.
“This idea came from the director. If you want to beat someone, hit the director. It has nothing to do with me,” The host looked at the contestants feigning anger and skillfully threw the blame away.
Then he continued, “The time for this competition is only one hour, everyone hurry up and mobilize your thinking! Think about what delicious dishes you can make with the other party’s ingredients. Hurry up and move, go, go, go!”
The camera panned into a panoramic view, showing all the busy contestants.
Then the camera cut to the first row where Yu Antong was. Both Yu Antong and Fu Fengxing were processing the ingredients in an orderly manner.
The host came over, stood in front of them, and asked, “I see you two are the first to act, can you tell me what you plan to cook?”
In the next second, the barrage loaded.
[The showrunners actually put my two favorite people together. Thumbs up for the director!]
[Add chicken legs to the director2As in, the commenter asking for the staff to give the director extra food for lunch.!]
[Suddenly I feel that the two of them have a sense of CP. Handsome and cool guy Gong x expensive and beautiful Shou.]
[I also want to say that they looked so good standing together. In a word, very eye-catching!]
[Speechless! Nibbling ‘til dizzy, even a gourmet variety show also engages in CP!]
[Both of them are mine, you are not allowed to mess around with CP!]
Yu Antong didn’t expect that there would be someone behind him and Fu Fengxing’s CP. With the conscience of heaven and earth, he absolutely never had any thoughts about Fu Fengxing.
Fu Fengxing was indeed cool and handsome, but he paled in comparison to Xing Lixuan. He has long been immune to handsome guys, except for the stars he chased.
Yu Antong quietly glanced at Xing Lixuan from the corner of his eye, hoping that this vinegar jar would not be jealous.
Xing Lixuan had no expression on his face, and continued to look down indifferently.
Xing Lixuan didn’t respond, which made Yu Antong want to turn off the barrage, but felt that turning off the barrage made him look guilty.
He has a clear conscience! He’s not afraid if people ship him with another man!
Yu Antong cheered himself up in his heart, drove away the guilty conscience, and continued to look down.
During the show, he told the host what he thought, and the host nodded and said, “Rose-themed Huazhi balls? That is quite creative. I want to eat them.”
Then he asked Fu Fengxing, “What are you going to do with Yu Antong’s ingredients?”
While slicing the salmon, Fu Fengxing turned around and explained, “I’m going to make salmon rolls with sweet-scented osmanthus sauce. First, I’ll marinate the salmon fillet with rice wine and black pepper, roll the king oyster mushrooms and shallots into the salmon fillet, then fry them in butter until all is cooked.”
The host asked, “Where is the sweet-scented osmanthus used?”
“The osmanthus can be used in the sauce. It’s a flower with a very strong fragrance, so the smell will be too strong if it’s cooked with the salmon directly. It’s much more suitable to incorporate it with the sauce instead. I plan to chop peppers and perilla plums, add water and sugar, dried osmanthus, and soy sauce to be boiled together. Then the mixture is poured on top of the salmon roll, shaping it to look like four osmanthus petals.”
The host didn’t leave after asking these questions. Instead, he asked Yu Antong again, “You also heard what Fu Fengxing said just now, did he plan to cook the same dishes as your original plan?”
“It’s a little different,” Yu Antong then continued, “I originally planned to make the salmon fillet into a semicircular bowl, add diced king oyster mushrooms into it, and then arrange four or five of them together to form petals, instead of making them into rolls.”
The host turned to Fu Fengxing and asked, “Yu Antong said that the dish he was planning is a little different from your idea. How about you, is your original plan matched with Yu Antong’s Huazhi balls?”
Fu Fengxing glanced at Yu Antong, looked away, lowered his head while cutting the king oyster mushroom. “It’s exactly the same.”
The host laughed. “Wow! Really? This is too coincidental.”
The barrage increased suddenly, even if Yu Antong turned on the filter, he still couldn’t stop it from covering the screen.
[Ahhh! Don’t stop me, I want to ship them!!]
[Ahhh! Totally agree!]
[This pair is set for me!]
[I feel that Fu Fengxing’s glance at Yu Antong is very meaningful!]
[No! Tongtong is my wife, take him away!]
[Exactly the same? What kind of 100% tacit understanding is this!]
[Don’t twist his words, Tongtong said it’s different.]
[Fu Fengxing’s look was definitely not innocent!]
Yu Antong couldn’t hold back anymore. ‘What are these people thinking! Isn’t this hurting me!’
Watching a variety show could lead to marital problems!!
The host asked Fu Fengxing about him, and it was not normal for Fu Fengxing to glance at him.
Yu Antong looked at Xing Lixuan, “Husband, don’t look at their nonsense, I have nothing to do with this person!”
