After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Sheng Hanyu delivered the fish to the kitchen and went back to her room after hearing everyone's instructions.

After he finished showering and changed his clothes, he let Pei Canxing go in and shower.

After running around outside all day, I'm bound to have some dust on me, so it's best to be clean before I eat.

Then he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" Sheng Hanyu asked instead of opening the door directly.

He had a feeling that the persistent ghost was about to return...

As expected, Ye Wanyin's voice came through, "Hanyu, can you open the door? I need to talk to you."

Ye Wanyin originally wanted to freshen up before coming to find them, but the bathroom in the courtyard was occupied by Ji Wan, so she simply changed her clothes, wiped her face, and touched up her makeup.

“No,” Sheng Hanyu said.

"Hanyu, I really have something to say..." Ye Wanyin knocked on the door again.

With such a great opportunity, Deng Lingxuan didn't know where she was. Everyone else was either taking a shower or in the kitchen, but she was determined to get closer to Sheng Hanyu and the other guy.

"Teacher Ye, didn't I tell you to call me Xiao Sheng?" Sheng Hanyu stood by the window, pulled back the curtains, and said to the outside.

What a joke! How could I possibly let her in? Not to mention Pei Canxing is still taking a shower, even if nothing's wrong... Anyway, I absolutely can't let her get involved!

It might trend on social media tomorrow... no, it could even trend on social media a little while from now.

Ye Wanyin noticed him by the window, so she took a few steps over and said, "Hanyu, let me in?"

As she spoke, she put on her most skillful pleading face, her face half red and half pale, while she slightly lowered her head and raised her eyes, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothes.

Sheng Hanyu: ...Do you know how ridiculous it looks with your hand wrapped in gauze?

"Ye Wanyin, I won't open the door." Sheng Hanyu had turned off his microphone while taking a shower, and now that he noticed Ye Wanyin wasn't wearing her microphone either, he began to speculate about what she was up to.

So he turned on his phone to record audio from below the window, out of Ye Wanyin's sight.

"Hanyu, you can call me Wanwan too..." Ye Wanyin said shyly.

"Ye Wanyin, I'll only say this once today, so listen carefully," Sheng Hanyu said seriously. "I hope you won't bother me or my brother except for necessary interactions during the program."

"Hanyu, I know you're prejudiced against me, but could you please give me a chance to explain? Things aren't as they seem on the surface..." Ye Wanyin had already prepared her explanation.

She refused to believe that any man wouldn't be moved by her pleading and pleas.

"First of all, don't call me Hanyu, or you can leave now. No matter how much you shout, I won't open the door," Sheng Hanyu emphasized. If this continued, he'd probably be too disgusted to speak properly.

Seeing that Ye Wanyin had straightened up, as if she wanted to listen to him properly, he continued, "Secondly, you know perfectly well what happened that day. I've already seen that drama unfold, so why do you think I'll fall for your act?"

Ye Wanyin wanted to continue explaining that she was also a victim, but under the other party's increasingly cold gaze, she still didn't open her mouth.

"Finally, I suggest you stay away from me because I don't want to vomit in front of everyone on the show. Do you understand?" Sheng Hanyu said, staring into her eyes.

Under the pressure of his gaze, Ye Wanyin had no choice but to nod silently.

“If you understand, you have to say it out loud, otherwise I won’t understand what you mean,” Sheng Hanyu said.

"I understand." Ye Wanyin felt a cold sweat break out on her back from his gaze, took a step back, and said with difficulty.

"I've said my piece. You'd better watch yourself." Sheng Hanyu slammed the curtains shut.

Ye Wanyin stared at the window speechlessly, and stomped her foot in frustration.

She thought to herself, "Damn it, Ye Sanqing must be slandering me behind my back. Otherwise, why would Hanyu treat me like this? I'm clearly the victim! Shouldn't he sympathize with me?"

Even so, this scene was filmed today, and although no sound was recorded, Ye Wanyin still felt extremely embarrassed.

There's a reason why Sheng Hanyu drew back the curtains and stood by the window to speak; perhaps some viewers who understand lip reading could use that to analyze the information.

The recording was just a precaution; he didn't think Ye Wanyin would give up so easily, but having the recording in hand gave him some advantages.

Pei Canxing came out of the shower and asked, "Who was that just now?"

Sheng Hanyu played a recording as her response.

"Oh, she's here again?" Pei Canxing sighed upon hearing this.

Thank goodness he went inside to take a shower! If it had been him instead of his cousin outside, he would have at most politely asked the other person to leave.

He has also experienced people throwing themselves at him, both men and women, but he usually politely refuses and there are no further consequences.

After all, we're all in the same industry, and it's not worth ruining our relationship over something so trivial. Everyone still has some semblance of decency.

This is the first time I've ever seen Ye Wanyin so persistent.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but message Ye Jin'er, saying, "Your sister is terrifying." Great, I've shown more empathy for my friend today!

[Which sister of mine? I only have one sister.] The other person seemed to be free as well, replying instantly.

[Your ex-sister, is that enough? She just came to our door and knocked, trying to get in. It scared the crap out of us.]

[Is she that desperate for a man? We need to get her married to that guy surnamed Cheng as soon as possible!]

【That's not the issue! She was on a TV show, the cameras were still rolling, and she deliberately tried to come into our room without a microphone—she was intentionally trying to sabotage us!】

You should have let her in, then secretly turned on the microphone and gave her a live broadcast!

[You're so ruthless! You have absolutely no brotherly or sisterly affection for me!]

It disappeared eight hundred years ago.

My brother probably didn't want to have anything to do with her, so he chased her away from the window.

Your brother is interesting!

By this time, Ye Sanqing had successfully processed the fish and, under Pan Hongyu's guidance, chopped a whole chicken into pieces.

In-person guidance is definitely much more convenient than having someone guide you online in your mind!

Seeing this, Pan Hongyu became even more certain that Ye Sanqing was just being modest when she said she couldn't cook, and her liking for her increased even more.

While Ye Sanqing was cutting the meat and vegetables, Pan Hongyu lit the fire, then heated the oil in the wok and sautéed the ingredients.

Dinner was quickly finished.

The three of them worked together to set the dishes on the round table, and then went to call everyone to eat.

The camera panned to the dishes on the table, and the comments section erupted in praise.

[Teacher Pan is amazing! She finished cooking so many dishes in less than an hour!]

[This looks much tastier than my lunch!]

Let me see what they have: braised fish chunks, braised crucian carp with scallions, spicy chicken, chicken with mushrooms, spicy stir-fried chicken giblets, garlic sprouts with sliced ​​pork, hand-shredded cabbage, shredded pork with garlic sauce, stir-fried beef with scallions, blanched lettuce? And a fish head tofu soup too, that's a complete selection!

Is this enough for eight people? There are many dishes, but the portions seem a bit small.

Haha, is Ye Sanqing just a big eater?

Is it really fair to leave Teacher Pan to handle all the work alone?

[Didn't you see Ye Sanqing helping? Her knife is as fast as if she'd killed a fish ten years ago!]

[Ye Sanqing just said that she had enough food, but she wouldn't let Wanwan change the ingredients because she was kind enough. If there's not enough to eat, she'll blame Wanwan again.]

This tendency to speak carelessly is truly a trait inherited from its owner.

When has Ye Sanqing ever blamed her?

[We told you I had paranoia, but you wouldn't believe us.]

Ye Sanqing didn't really care. She would eat as much as she could, and she wouldn't feel hungry if she couldn't eat. She would just eat more rice.

After everyone was seated, they expressed their gratitude to Pan Hongyu before starting to eat.

Even Deng Lingxuan said, "Thank you, Teacher Pan."

Pan Hongyu: "Thank you Sanqing for your help, and thank you both for your hard work collecting firewood today."

She didn't know that Ye Wanyin hadn't gone to collect firewood; she assumed that the two of them had done it together.

"I've worked hard," Ye Sanqing nodded, acknowledging his efforts. "But Ye Wanyin didn't gather firewood; shouldn't she be given another task instead, Director?"

Zhu Song had already finished eating at a different time than them and was strolling around nearby. Upon hearing this, he immediately came over and asked, "What? You mean Teacher Ye didn't participate in the punishment task?"

"..." Ye Wanyin didn't expect that Ye Sanqing would bring this up even though they were having dinner.

She gritted her teeth and said, "If I go, I'll only hold my sister back, so I thought I'd better do some other tasks to make up for it..."

Zhu Song: "Other tasks are other tasks, but punishment tasks are punishment tasks! Oh dear, what should I do?"

He stroked his chin and said, "You guys eat first. After you finish eating, I'll give Teacher Ye a new task!"

He thought to himself, "Do you really want to make up for not telling me when you came back this afternoon? Did you think that if no one else mentioned it, the matter would be over? On my variety show, that's impossible!"

Ye Wanyin was furious, thinking she had escaped the mission, but she could only accept it with a smile.

Moreover, the way the other people who weren't entirely clear about what had happened that afternoon looked at her changed.

Who would have thought? On the very first day, they didn't do any punishment tasks and even acted like they were working so hard...

This won't do! Their favorability isn't important, but it's crucial to appear to get along well with everyone in front of the camera.

Ye Wanyin ate her meal with a heavy heart.

Ye Sanqing didn't care after he finished speaking and ate his rice heartily!

She has a really good appetite; watching her makes me hungry, but I don't want to leave the screen to cook.

Food delivery, forever the best!

She eats so much!

She gathered two loads of firewood and even speared a fish today; any more is what she deserves.

[No way, Ye Wanyin really wants to escape punishment?]

Here's a Chinese idiom for everyone: 坐享而成 (zuò xiǎo ér ér

Tuition fees

[I really can't stand you shady people. How did you know Wanwan would try to escape punishment?]

[You have time to knock on the boys' dorm door, but no time to do tasks (heart emoji) This is your little princess Wanwan (heart emoji)]

[What's wrong with knocking on the door? What else can you do on camera? You even distort normal conversations!]

Oh, really? Why did you say something different at the supermarket yesterday?

The comments section erupted again.
