I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

Su Youzi apologized while accepting the Coke.

Holding it in my hand, I stared at it awkwardly, unsure whether to drink it or not.

Dude, you should at least give me the lid!

So she carried a Coke the whole way, getting nervous whenever the car bumped along.

It's a white dress!

It wasn't until she returned to the cabin that she finally freed her hands and relieved her tense mind.

"We're having hot pot tonight. Just wash and plate the vegetables." Zhao Yunlan had unknowingly taken on the role of head housekeeper, methodically arranging the evening's dinner.

"I'll wash the vegetables." Li Bingcheng glanced at everyone. "Who's coming with me?"

"I'll wash the vegetables with you." Liu Tang stepped forward, thinking that washing vegetables was much better than washing dishes.

"Who's going to help me prepare the seafood? We need to remove the shrimp veins, and the rest of the seafood can just be soaked in salt water." Zhao Yunlan said, tying up her long hair, ready to get to work.

"Teach me, and I'll go with you to remove the shrimp veins." Jiang Mu joined in.

“I’ll join you too.” Zhu Jiuchuan stood next to Jiang Mu.

Huo Jia glanced at everyone and said, "I'll handle the meat."

"I'll chop the scallions, ginger, and garlic," Xia Jingchu said.

"Then Yezi-ge and I will wash the dishes~" Lu Jiayi looked at Duan Xingye gently and invited him with a smile.

“Okay,” Duan Xingye replied.

"Alright, everyone get to work!" Zhao Yunlan clapped her hands and picked up aprons to distribute.

Liu Tang's gaze swept over the crowd like a hawk's, and she deliberately raised her voice: "Where's Su Youzi? Why did she disappear when it was time to work?"

"I don't see him. He must have gone to the restroom," Li Bingcheng said after looking around.

Zhao Yunlan stood to the side, her eyes quickly scanning the busy figures in the kitchen.

"We already have enough people to handle the ingredients, so she can help with the dishes later."

A few minutes later.

Su Youzi appeared before everyone with a mix of apology and playful smile.

"Can I help you with anything?"

Liu Tang glanced at her and laughed dismissively.

"You changed clothes again?" She deliberately elongated the word "again".

As soon as Su Youzi arrived at the cabin, she went back to her room and changed into a men's outfit covered in LV logos. It was loose and casual, and she wore a pair of super short denim shorts with the edges faintly visible. Her long, fair legs looked even more alluring in the interplay of light and shadow.

Huo Jia's reaction was the most direct. He forgot to put down the knife in his hand, his eyes widened, and his mouth was slightly open, looking exactly like someone who was amazed.

Su Youzi blinked and said playfully, "I was just thinking of changing into some more practical clothes so I could get to work better~"

[Oh my god, does Su Youzi really think this is a fashion show?! She's changed three outfits already!]

Is she that rich? All her clothes are designer brands!

[Even the big brands are one thing, but every single one of their logos is incredibly blatant~]

Why does Huo Jia look like a pervert? (Disdain) (Disdain)

"You can help wash the dishes later, we have enough people here now," Zhao Yunlan said.

"Okay~" Su Youzi nodded, looking reluctant.

Seeing everyone busy at work, she went to the living room.

Duan Xingye sat on the sofa watching TV, with Lu Jiayi sitting very close to him.

Not wanting to disturb them, Su Youzi walked to a two-seater sofa some distance away and sat down.

I am bored.

This time would be so much better spent writing!

Unfortunately, there were also cameras in the room.

She got up and walked to the bookshelf, her gaze wandering among the shelves before finally settling on a copy of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

After taking the book off the shelf, she returned to the sofa, picked up the book, and read it with great interest.

Duan Xingye glanced at her sideways, then coldly looked away and stared back at the television with a blank expression.

[Oh, reading a book, trying to look cultured.]

Does she even understand it? She's just pretending.

Duan Xingye's eyes held a hint of disdain: "Trying to act again?"

[Hahaha, I agree!!]

Shortly after.

"Hot pot is ready! Come on over!" Zhao Yunlan called out to the reception room.

Duan Xingye turned off the TV and got up at the same time as Lu Jiayi.

Su Youzi was engrossed in her book and didn't hear Zhao Yunlan's voice.

Duan Xingye walked over and closed the book in her hand.

Su Youzi suddenly looked up, blinking her eyes in a blank expression.

Brother, what are you doing now?

Duan Xingye's lips curled slightly, and he snorted coldly, "The hot pot is ready."

"Oh, okay." Su Youzi nodded, put down her book, and followed them to the restaurant.

"Wow, this hot pot smells amazing, it's like a call from the depths of my soul, my stomach is rumbling!" Zhao Yunlan patted her stomach and pulled out the chair at the far end to sit down.

Just because there was a cooked roasted chicken leg in front of me.

You can eat it without waiting.

We ate a bit late, and everyone was starving.

However, this is a romance variety show, where the dining table is a battlefield, a disaster zone of chaos.

Except for Zhao Yunlan, everyone else stood still, as if waiting for a signal.

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Su Youzi glanced at them, then pulled out the chair closest to the hot pot restaurant and sat down.

As she took her seat, a quiet battle for the seat began.

Huo Jia was very agile and occupied the prime position on her left.

Xia Jingchu smiled gently and sat steadily on the right side, with the two of them on the left and right, protecting Su Youzi in the middle.

Li Bingcheng was a step too slow. He touched his nose, shook his head with a wry smile, and sat down next to Zhao Yunlan.

Duan Xingye sat down next to Li Bingcheng at a leisurely pace.

Lu Jiayi followed closely behind, intending to sit next to him, and had just placed her hand on the chair.

Suddenly, a water glass was placed in front of her.

"I'll sit here," Liu Tang said with a smile. "There's cucumber salad here, which I made."

Lu Jiayi's smile froze for a moment, her back teeth clenched, her inner thoughts raging, but on the surface she maintained the demeanor of a goddess.

"Please take a seat."

[Liu Tang is so proactive! Lu Jiayi is starting to feel threatened!!!]

[Lu Jiayi's expression was one of utter laughter, she couldn't stop! Hahahaha!]

Duan Xingye doesn't care who sits next to him at all.

Jiang Mu's gaze lingered briefly on Zhu Jiuchuan before she sat down next to Huo Jia with a slight regret.

At that moment, Zhu Jiuchuan sat down in the last empty seat at the dining table.

"Finally, we can eat! Let's have a toast!" Zhao Yunlan raised her water glass, her clear voice echoing across the table and instantly igniting the atmosphere.

"Cheers~"

The moment Duan Xingye put down his cup, his eyes shifted and locked onto the steaming hot pot.

Pick up the plate of bright red fatty beef and pour it into the boiling broth.

"You can handle spicy food, right?"

Only after he finished pouring did he remember to ask a question.

"Okay," everyone agreed.

The beef cooked quickly, and Xia Jingchu and Huo Jia locked their eyes on their target almost simultaneously.

They all picked up the serving chopsticks in front of them and each took a piece.

with a clear purpose.

At the same time, put it into the bowl of Su Youzi.

Su Youzi smiled shyly and thanked her softly.

"Thank you~"

At this moment, Duan Xingye also picked up the serving chopsticks and put some food into the hot pot.

Liu Tang's gaze remained fixed on him.

She smiled, pursed her lips, and moved the bowl forward a little.
