Chapter 42 A Metamorphosis Disguised as a Romantic Comedy Saga

When Xu Jianian brought Mu Qing to the house that looked exactly like the picture, she felt it was totally worth it. The house was completely modernly decorated, with everything from LCD TVs and air conditioners to refrigerators. It was similar to the courtyard where they lived, but this place was more recent and more comfortable to live in.

Mu Qing took the ingredients to the kitchen and began processing them.

Xu Jianian knew his cooking skills were terrible, and he was a little embarrassed, so he picked out two eggs and a tomato from a pile of ingredients.

"Sister Muqing, I'm sorry. I'm not very good at cooking, and I don't want to poison you, so I'll just make the simplest and most basic tomato and egg stir-fry." Xu Jianian knew that Muqing was a very good girl, so even though he was willful, he could not show disrespect to her.

If it were that troublesome Shen Youyou, he would have poisoned her no matter what.

Mu Qing rolled up her sleeves, ready to show off her skills: "It's okay, my cooking skills are also just average. But when I was studying abroad, the Chinese restaurants there didn't really suit my taste, so I started buying groceries and learning to cook for myself. Compared to you, I should be much better."

"We both went to the same school, but you came to Berkeley a year earlier than me, so I don't think I ever met you at school." Xu Jianian only found out that Mu Qing was his senior after returning to China and when Mu Qing became famous.

However, there is very little trace of Mu Qing in the overseas study circle.

“That’s normal. I don’t socialize much except when I’m studying, but I know you very well.” Mu Qing washed the cutting board and started cutting the meat. Speaking of Xu Jianian back then, she was even more dazzling than she is now.

"Haha, then there's no need to talk about it." Xu Jianian recalled her past experiences in the overseas study circle, which didn't leave a good impression, so she ended the conversation.

[Xu Jianian does know how to be embarrassed, huh? I was in the same year as him at Berkeley back then, and Xu Jianian was quite the celebrity on the forum, always being discussed.]

What? What happened? I want to know.

[Luo He: Shut up, all of you! Don't talk about Jianian's past!]

When Xu Jianian's number one fanboy appeared, everyone who wanted to reveal the secret fell silent.

Jiang Shuyi, watching from the observation room, was exasperated. Even he was getting curious and waiting for the scoop to be revealed, but then Luo He suddenly appeared, ruining everything.

Lowe hissed, as if remembering something: "Wasn't Xu Jianian's past abroad just about being a super rich second-generation, driving luxury cars every day, organizing all kinds of racing competitions, and being a good-for-nothing playboy? That's why there's always something to talk about, right?"

Sister Lele exclaimed in surprise, "Director Luo, you actually knew that?"

Lowe waved his hand: "I've heard a little about it, but there's nothing scandalous about it. It's just youthful impetuosity, which is normal."

The camera pans to the side of the rock sugar pears. The house they chose is exactly the same as the picture. It's a mud-brick house with tiled roof. Apart from being a bare-bones house, it has everything you need.

"It's been so long since I've seen this kind of traditional stove." Duan Xiaotang squatted down to add firewood, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, with smoke starting to billow from the chimney on the roof.

"The food will taste better if it's cooked this way." In previous years, Li Yan had mostly taken on scripts featuring tragic protagonists, so this living environment was considered quite good.

Duan Xiaotang swiftly wielded her knife and began processing the two fish. In the zoomed-in shot, her superb knife skills stunned the netizens.

After all, award-winning actors and actresses rarely appear on variety shows to maintain an air of mystery, especially on a show like Director Ma's that exposes their private lives in every way, which allows fans to gain a deeper understanding of them.

Shen Youyou and Fu Jingnian climbed almost halfway up the mountain before arriving at the small wooden house in the picture. Just by looking at the appearance of the wooden house, it was clear that it had been built recently.

"The production team, you put a lot of effort into this." Fu Jingnian's words were loaded with meaning.

Shen Youyou dragged her tired face into the wooden house. There were only two hammocks inside, and simple cooking utensils were by the window.

[The reality show "Metamorphosis," disguised as a dating reality show, truly made me feel it.]

[Thankfully, the last place wasn't my pairing. I'm truly grateful that the Shen Fu pairing was so disappointing; I'm totally shipping you two, you're locked in forever!]

[If Shang Xu and Xu Jianian's group were to live here, they'd definitely start going crazy with the production team. So, the Shen Fu couple is actually pretty good-natured. I really don't want to see them living here. Hurry up and bring over the Double Swords team!]

[The person above is right. It's no fun watching these two pushovers who have nothing to say. I'm getting bored and need to switch to another stream.]

...

At 8 PM, the four live stream rooms completed the last item on their lists at roughly the same time: cook a dish for each other.

The camera panned across braised and steamed fish, making netizens' mouths water. The next second, it switched to the fried eggs of the Shen-Fu couple, immediately shattering the netizens' high expectations.

The live stream feed then focused on Qin Jiaxue, first showing a plate of dark, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, then three tempting home-style dishes, and finally Mu Qing serving rice and walking over.

Xu Jianian picked up a piece of burnt tomato and held it up to the camera: "Come on, let's eat the first bite of vermicelli."

No, no, no, please don't poison us. Please don't kill. Thank you, thank you.

[Brother, I want to eat the three dishes Mu Qing made. Please take your hand away, thank you.]

[Luo He: Brother Jianian, ignore them, I'll eat, I'll eat, give me the food]

"This fan friend named Luo He has great taste." Xu Jianian rarely looked at the comments, but he actually mentioned his number one fan.

Luo He, sitting in front of the screen, looked incredulous and excitedly jumped up and down on the sofa.

"Is this real? Jia Nian called my name!"

As he was jumping around, he accidentally stepped on Chen Shao, who was dozing off to the side.

Chen Shao's eyes widened: "Holy crap!"

...

The camera then switched to the Shang Xia couple's side, where five or six delicious-looking dishes appeared on screen, with a pot of steaming chicken soup placed in the middle.

[No way, what kind of deal is forty yuan? You can even get chicken soup?]

[The person who posted the comment earlier was probably daydreaming; Shang Xu caught the chicken from the chicken coop in the back.]

[That's hilarious! The two of them went to the chicken coop just wanting two eggs, but Xia Yu got pecked by a chicken and chased around four times. Without saying a word, Shang Sha Diao swiftly chopped up the chicken and stewed it, which moved Xia Yu to tears.]

We fishermen were so touched, we consider this brother-in-law!

Halfway through the meal, Director Ma posted a message in the group chat:

[Director Ma: Tomorrow, the guests will need to wear the clothes that your partners picked out for you today for tomorrow's shoot.]

Xia Yu: Director Ma, what are we filming tomorrow?

[Director Ma: Shh, no spoilers, but it's going to be fun!]

[Duan Xiaotang: We're just playing a trick on us, isn't that fun?]

[Shang Xu: Director Ma, are you hungry? Come over to our yard and have a couple of drinks!]

Director Ma watched Shang Xu and his family's large table of delicious food through the screen, and his stomach began to rumble involuntarily.

The production crew's headquarters were in the courtyard, and the enticing aroma wafted out and lingered, making the crew members' mouths water.

Director Ma stood up and straightened his clothes: "Ahem, let me clarify first, they invited us, it wasn't us who wanted to go in to eat."

Props teacher: "Yeah, yeah, how can those two people finish such a big table of food? Let's go in and help them clean up the mess."

Makeup artist: "No, Lao Liu, the way you're saying it makes it sound like we're going out to eat leftovers."

Director Ma gave the order: "Forget everything else, just charge!"
