Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

Only by keeping an appropriate distance can you whet a man's appetite.

Of course, she also knew how to strike a balance between relaxation and tension, so as not to arouse Huo Xingzhou's suspicion while finding a perfect way to hide herself.

After tidying up the bedding, Jiang Ruoli chatted with the old lady for a while. When she looked up, she saw a man standing in the yard, tidying up firewood.

He took off his suit jacket, lazily rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, half-bent his body, and picked up the pile of firewood that had fallen on the ground. The sunlight shone on his profile, revealing his deep brow bones, strong jawline, and his long eyelashes that were clearly visible in the halo.

He seemed to feel her gaze.

The man paused and looked back at her.

Their eyes met.

Huo Xingzhou's eyes fixed on her, his gaze burning as if a fire had been ignited.

For a moment, Jiang Ruoli's heartbeat seemed to stop for a few seconds. It was very strange, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, a sour and astringent feeling. She felt a little hot in the face when she was stared at, and she looked away embarrassedly.

Huo Xingzhou's Adam's apple rolled slightly.

The live broadcast room was instantly filled with excitement.

【Ahhhh, did you see the look in their eyes? 】

[I can't take it anymore. Huo Xingzhou's eyes are so sour.]

The eye contact just now reminded me of the saying, "Eye contact is a human kiss without lust." These two people really took this saying to its extreme.

[Sure enough, the little secret touches between lovers are what really kill me.]

【Crazy man and woman! 】

It's approaching evening.

Jiang Ruoli washed the rice and put it in the pot, preparing to make some simple home-cooked meals. There was fish marinated yesterday, freshly picked vegetables, and pork exchanged for work points, just enough to make three dishes and a soup.

The stove needs to be lit.

Before Jiang Ruoli could make a move, her younger brother Xiaobei ran over from a distance like an enthusiastic little sparrow, smiling and saying, "Sister, sister, let me help you."

The two brothers let down their guard and their attitudes finally became less cold.

"Okay." Jiang Ruoli handed the match over without hesitation, and reminded him, "Then be careful."

Xiaobei nodded, "Yeah."

The stove was lit, and Jiang Ruoli started heating oil in a wok. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that Huo Xingzhou's eyes kept changing when he looked at her.

Maybe they think she is too omnipotent.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t love her.

Leave a little oil in the pot, pour in the chopped pork belly, stir-fry for a few times, add garlic sprouts, small peppers, and chopped green onions, and after a while, the stir-fried pork belly is ready.

The color is clear and steaming.

Jiang Ruoli took a bite while it was still hot. It was rich but not greasy, with a blend of freshness and delicacy that made the audience in the live broadcast room drool.

[It must be said that Jiang Ruoli is a good cook. ]

[Wife! So sweet! So hungry!]

[Mobile phones are still not smart enough. When can we replace them with ones that can smell fragrance? ]

[Are you sure this isn't a script?]

[Sisters, don't be fooled. This is clearly a deliberately created persona. Look at Miss Fu Yao next door. That's what you call real, right?]

[Agree, don't be fooled by scheming women. ]

In the originally harmonious live broadcast room, questioning voices began to appear again.

One wave after another.

The director in the recording room was stunned.

Jiang Ruoli didn't know about this and just fried some vegetables.

Even through the screen, one can still feel the freshness and deliciousness of the vegetables.

Three dishes and one soup were served.

The two children did not rush to eat the meat, but gave it to the old lady, saying that they hoped her grandmother would eat more and stay healthy. It was heartbreaking to see how sensible they were at such a young age.

Jiang Ruoli was touched and reached out to rub Xiaobei's furry little head. "Good boy, if it's not enough, there's more."

Xiaobei looked at her with a cautious and pitiful expression, and asked, "Sister, will you come again in the future? If you come, you can have meat to eat."

Jiang Ruoli's heart trembled, "Yes, I will come."

The mission was successfully completed.

on the way back.

Jiang Ruoli offered to help the children.

The staff reminded her, "Teacher Jiang, they had always lived like this before you came."

Jiang Ruoli was speechless.

After a while, he couldn't help but say, "Is it not possible for me to help them improve their living conditions?"

The staff member nodded. "I understand your point of view, but... the living conditions here are like this. Unless someone takes them out of the mountains, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Huo Xingzhou frowned, "Is it difficult?"

"Everyone has their own destiny. As bystanders, we can only lend a helping hand. Forcing change will not bring any benefits."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

"......" Jiang Ruoli's eyebrows flashed with disappointment, and she said to Huo Xingzhou, "Why don't you buy some things and send them over to improve their living conditions? New clothes, new shoes, and hats, otherwise they'll be cold when the weather gets cold. The tableware also needs to be replaced, and the lights at home are too dim. A new schoolbag, new stationery, and some snacks..."

Huo Xingzhou didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard it, he nodded lightly.

......

Return to the courtyard of time.

The guests haven't returned yet.

Tang Jiujiu finished feeding the chickens and was about to dry the clothes when she saw Jiang Ruoli. She approached her mysteriously, "I heard from Director Zhang that the audience in the live broadcast room went crazy. What on earth did you two do?"

"Who are you knocking on?"

"Who else? You and Huo Xingzhou!"

"So exciting?" Jiang Ruoli rubbed his temples with a headache. "It seems that my plan went perfectly, but it was a bit too much."

"Where's Fu Yao? Isn't she pestering Huo Xingzhou?"

"Busy on a mission."

As they were talking, Fu Yao and Jiang Shaoqing also came back.

Fu Yao was holding a small bag in her hand. Before she left, the old lady forced it into her hand. She didn't intend to take it, but she couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm and had to take it back.

"Ali." Fu Yao smiled brightly, "The old lady just gave me some snacks. Would you like to try them?"

Jiang Ruoli smiled and said, "No need."

Fu Yao was not embarrassed by being rejected. "I've tried it, it tastes pretty good. Jiujiu, do you want to try it?"

Tang Jiujiu was busy hanging clothes without turning around and said, "I'm sorry, I don't like sweets. You can keep it for yourself."

Fu Yao: “…”

What does this mean, my besties?

[It's obvious that they're isolating Fu Yao. Can't you see that?]

[To be honest, Fu Yao's performance on the show was much more impressive than these two. Maybe she's just jealous.]

[My friend, don't be so ridiculous. Were all those compliments you just gave to others just bullshit?]

Because I like Fu Yao, I stand on her side. I think she's kind, and for no other reason than that I simply can't stand Jiang Ruoli's arrogant attitude.

[Just a quick question, is Fu Yao the third party? ]

[Help! Isn't this obvious? What's her relationship with Huo Xingzhou? If Jiang Ruoli hadn't been fighting and vying for her, what would have happened to her?]

[Huh? How come the topic has already turned to mistresses after just a while?]

The program crew seemed to know what the audience wanted to see, and the camera turned and fell on Huo Xingzhou.
