Shocking! A haughty and arrogant older sister was relentlessly pinned against a wall by a cold and a

"Huh?" Cheng Ai paused for a second, then shook her head. "No, it's too dangerous inside."

"I'm not afraid." Ye Jingke stubbornly pulled her away, and even picked up an umbrella from the shed entrance and held it over their heads. "Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni are no good. With me here, they'll be able to behave themselves a bit."

Cheng Ai felt a warmth in her heart and let him hold her hand.

When they reached the outer perimeter of the castle, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck Ye Jingke. She quickly threw out a talisman, which transformed into a barrier above him.

The first strike failed, and countless arcs of electricity exploded in mid-air, crackling loudly.

Ye Jingke rushed over without having eaten, and with only thirty minutes left until 2 PM, she had no time to waste. She coldly looked up at the sky and warned, "Don't mess with me, understand?"

The lightning dissipated as if startled, as if the scene just now was an illusion.

Cheng Ai chuckled and stuck a talisman on the wall. Immediately afterward, a blue vortex appeared in the center.

Even Ye Jingke, who had seen a lot in the world, was still amazed and tentatively asked, "A teleportation talisman?"

Cheng Ai raised an eyebrow and gave a thumbs-up in appreciation, "Not bad, you guessed it right away."

She took his hand and stepped inside, then suddenly remembered something and frowned, asking, "How did you put the card under the food? What if I was careless and didn't notice? And why are you so sure I'd eat pizza?"

While observing the surroundings, Ye Jingke explained, "The text message doesn't allow outsiders to approach here at will. When I arrived, some staff members came in to prepare lunch and set up props, so I used the walkie-talkie to have them put a card at the bottom of each dish. You've always been smart, so you'll definitely be able to find it!"

Cheng Ai was flattered by the praise and quickly pulled him up the stairs, saying, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Come on, it's my treat!"

As soon as they reached the sixth floor, they heard a sharp argument coming from the restaurant:

"You have 26 points, and you can't even afford to buy Ah Jian a bottle of water? That's so stingy!"

"I'm in charge of my points. If you want them, go earn them yourself!"

"Don't think you can ride roughshod over me just because you have that little bitch Cheng Ai backing you up. She can't make decisions for Ye Yingdi, and she certainly won't give you special treatment!"

"We're talking about points, why are you bringing up Sister Xiao Ai?"

"I can say whatever I want, stop dawdling and hurry up and buy water and food for me and A-Jian, or you'll be in big trouble!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Who are you trying to scare? Everyone knows about how you harmed Sister Xiao Ai. You can't even stay in the entertainment industry anymore. You still dare to threaten me?"

"What a joke! My family is very wealthy. Acting is just a hobby for me. If I wanted to mess with you, it would be as easy as turning my hand!"

"Cheng Baoni, are you serious? Don't you know the photographer was recording the whole thing?"

"Don't make a fuss, just let Gong Qian cut it off! Forget it, A-Jian and I aren't unreasonable people. Old Wu gets 5 points, buy two cups of lemonade; Song Yifei gets 26 points, buy two flatbreads and a plate of roast chicken; Zhong Zheyi gets 59 points, buy hot and sour shredded potatoes, spicy crayfish, stir-fried beef, and spinach and tofu soup. Okay, stop standing around, go and redeem your points!"

"Have you no shame? You and Hao Jian didn't contribute anything, nor did you offer any advice, so what gives you the right to order us around?"

"Hehe, let me make this clear from the start: either we eat together, or we go hungry together. The choice is yours!"

Zhong Zheyi and Song Yifei were both furious. They gritted their teeth, stomped their feet, and sat down angrily, deciding to lie down.

It's just a meal of hunger, it won't kill anyone. When Cheng Ai comes back, she'll have plenty of time to beg and plead with her grandparents!

Adhering to the principle of not causing trouble, Wu Xu shakily unfastened his bracelet and used 2 points to exchange for two glasses of lemonade, which he then placed on the dining table.

Hao Jian was already incredibly thirsty. He picked up a cup and gulped it down, then drank half of the second cup before he felt comfortable.

Cheng Baoni crossed her arms and smiled with satisfaction, "Look how sensible old man Wu is, much better than some selfish guys."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingke's face suddenly darkened.

He and Cheng Ai walked into the restaurant, his gaze sweeping around the room. He parted his thin lips slightly and asked, "Is this how you usually treat your work?"

Everyone was startled and turned to look at the doorway, their expressions varying.

Cheng Baoni collapsed to the ground, Hao Jian's expression changed drastically, Wu Xu was slightly surprised, Song Yifei was secretly delighted, but Zhong Zheyi was at a loss.

Cheng Ai glanced at them and walked straight to the glass cabinet to redeem her food.

She wasn't quite sure about Ye Jingke's tastes, so she chose a variety of dishes: pan-fried steak, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, seafood noodles, sweet and sour pork, cold lettuce salad, diced chicken with mushrooms, egg tarts, seaweed soup, and a plate of fried rice.

Seeing the number 32 displayed on her wristband, she couldn't help but sigh, "Raising Ye Jingke is really expensive!"

Wait a minute! That roasted pigeon looks delicious!

Cheng Ai swallowed hard, immediately putting her previous thoughts aside, and exchanged for a small one.

Once all the dishes were on the table, she said softly, "Ye Jingke, dinner is ready."

Ye Jingke grunted in agreement, then walked over and sat down.

Looking at the pile of delicious food, he lowered his gaze slightly, picked up his knife and fork without making a sound, cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. After swallowing, he said calmly, "Zheyi, you can eat with us too."

It wasn't that he was happy to share, but Cheng Ai had ordered far too much food; even if he hadn't eaten for a day and a night, he still couldn't finish it.

Zhong Zheyi nodded blankly, then quickly sat down opposite Ye Jingke, nervously pulling the seafood noodles in front of him and carefully picking at them.

Compared to his trepidation, Cheng Ai appeared very open and honest. She put on gloves, grabbed a roasted pigeon with one paw, and began to devour it.

The pigeon is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Its golden-brown exterior is crispy, while the inside is deep-fried. With one bite, the rich and savory meat juices instantly fill your mouth.

Although it's delicious, it has one drawback: eating too much can cause a dry mouth.

Cheng Ai didn't want soup and was too lazy to move, so she nudged the man's thigh next to her with her knee and said, "Thirsty, want a drink?"

Ye Jingke put down his cutlery and stood up, but Song Yifei rushed to the glass cabinet to exchange four bottles of Sprite and placed them on the dining table.

Seeing this, he opened one of the cans. Before he could even open his mouth, Cheng Ai had already snatched it and gulped down more than half of it. At the end, she smacked her lips and uttered a "爽" (shuang, meaning refreshing/awesome).

Ye Jingke smiled helplessly and lowered his head to eat.

At this moment, Song Yifei sat down next to Cheng Ai with a bowl of baked rice, trying to ingratiate herself, and said with a fawning smile, "Sister Ai, would you like to try some?"

The roast pigeon was gone, and Cheng Ai was eating an egg tart. Hearing her invitation, she waved her hand and declined, "No need, I'm too full, I can't eat anymore."

Song Yifei choked and awkwardly shut her mouth.

Wu Xu was so hungry he was dizzy. He used his last 3 points to buy a plate of fried noodles and sat in a corner, slurping them down quickly.

Cheng Ai finished the last sip of Sprite, turned to Ye Jingke and said, "I'm going back to my room to change my clothes, I'll be back in a bit."

After she left, Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni rushed off without even having time to eat.
