Chapter 716: Chapter 714: Love You But Hard to Say It
The gift bag contained a white apple.
“What is this?” Sally looked at the white apple and sniffed it… it had a faint, refreshing fragrance.
“You don’t look very well, this should be useful.” Yan Ze cleaned his hands with a wet wipe and began helping Sally with the utensils, taking care of every little detail.
Sally took a bite of the white apple. It was neither sweet nor sour, but it felt especially comforting in her stomach.
“This fruit… is pretty good.” It must also be one of those Super Divine Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Xiaoqi’s little nose twitched as it caught the scent and its eyes suddenly brightened, but then it lowered its head and continued eating its own food.
However, Sally noticed Xiaoqi’s reaction and used a dining knife to cut a piece for it, placing it in the fruit box. The little one was suddenly overjoyed.
Sally soon finished the white apple, not even leaving the core behind, and belched contentedly afterwards.
“I’m too full, I’ve eaten enough.”
“What do you mean you’ve eaten enough?” Xiao Rong came over and sat next to Sally.
“I have a small appetite, one piece of fruit and I’m full. Haha—burp!” Sally burped again.
“You aren’t trying to diet like Sun Ying and Han Yi, are you? They can’t stop.” Xiao Rong examined Sally’s figure, which seemed a bit more plump than when they first met, but it was not noticeable unless you looked closely. Moreover, even if she had gained weight, it suited her well.
Zhou Yu and Gu Yizhou also arrived.
The two of them sat down next to He Cheng, one after another.
The staff brought over a dozen cups of pure lemon juice and chili oil.
Play the game, and if you lose, you must choose a punishment: either drink lemon juice or chili oil.
Every person for themselves, no need for partners.
The game rule is, one guest acts out a word designated by the director, and the other guests guess, the fastest correct guess wins, the rest get punished, except Xiao Mumu.
As soon as Xiaoqi heard this, it frowned and glared fiercely at Director Zhao.
Director Zhao felt a chill, but couldn’t pinpoint the reason…
Sally was the first to perform.
She saw the word given by the staff—”Love you, hard to express!”
Sally made a heart gesture towards Xiaoqi, then patted her chest, mimed a mouth, and wagged her finger.
Xiaoqi instantly understood, jumped onto He Cheng’s shoulder, and whispered softly, “Love you, in the heart”
“Love you, hard to express,” Yan Ze replied.
Xiaoqi turned its head to look at Yan Ze.
He Cheng hugged Xiaoqi, picked up a cup of lemon juice, and drank it. Everyone else chose lemon juice too, and no one drank the chili oil.
Next was Xiao Rong’s performance.
She hesitated after seeing the word given by the director, then pointed ferociously at the sky, staring angrily at Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
Yan Ze glanced at Sally, and seeing her also looking puzzled, leaned in and whispered softly, “Wrath of the Thunder.”
Sally blurted out, “Wrath of the Thunder.”
Xiao Rong clapped for Sally, “Xiao Su answered correctly.”
Then she told Zhou Yu, “You drink the chili oil!”
Zhou Yu was speechless but still picked up the chili oil and sipped it. He then desperately chugged water…
Sally watched, feeling a burning sensation in her throat, and took a sip of fruity yogurt.
Yan Ze picked up the lemon juice and drank it.
Meanwhile, his little action of whispering to Sally was captured on camera, causing a surge in viewership in the live broadcast.
Director Zhao, smiling at the screenwriter, said, “We’ve found a treasure.”
“Yes, with her and Yan Ze, this season’s ratings are secure. He Group’s stocks are also soaring. In just a few days, they’ve doubled.”
“Getting the development rights to Queen’s Constellation Star and building a resort and sanatorium here, everyone has seen the strength of He Group. As long as you can buy in, it’s a guaranteed profit.”
“Host, Little Angel has opened its eyes.”
“What?” Sally was stunned, “Is it coming?”
“No, not yet the due date. But due to sufficient nutrition, it has developed well.”
“This piece of grilled meat is not bad, quite tender.” Yan Ze helped Sally with a piece of grilled meat.
Sally was already full, but to give him face, she still ate it with a fork and nodded, “Don’t worry about me, you eat too.”
Xiaoqi tapped He Cheng’s hand, indicating it also wanted some grilled meat.
He Cheng was busy serving, having just fed two pieces, when he was called out to perform.
He was stumped when he saw the word. After thinking for a while, he mimed a snake slithering forward, then looked at his own leg, chopping at his ankle with a hand knife.
Sally was stunned, “What is this?”
Xiao Rong guessed first, “Gilding the lily!”
He Cheng shook his head, looking in Yan Ze’s direction.
Yan Ze poured himself a beer and drank it, ignoring him.
He Cheng had no choice but to continue performing.
Gu Yizhou thought for a moment and guessed, “The Farmer and the Snake?”
He Cheng continued shaking his head.
Zhou Yu said, “Fighting snakes with great vigor.”
This idiom was very close to the actions He Cheng was miming, but he still shook his head.
Sally admitted she did not know and quietly asked Yan Ze, “Do you know?”
Yan Ze nodded, “Let him act.”
Sally: “…”
He Cheng, hearing Yan Ze’s comment, immediately got angry and said to Director Zhao, “Change the word.”
Director Zhao replied, “Can’t change it.” That’s exactly the effect we want.
Gu Yizhou guessed again, “Dragon flying and phoenix dancing.”
He Cheng continued to wave his hand, then mimed again, this time targeting his own wrist, chopping at it twice, and then like a snake slithering again…
Gu Yizhou continued to guess, “A snake knows its own hole.”
Xiao Rong was speechless, “Is there even such a phrase?”
Zhou Yu said, “There actually is. It means that whoever does something knows it best.”
Xiao Rong snorted, “That’s especially suitable for you.”
Zhou Yu: “…”
Sally, seeing He Cheng’s pitiful miming, extended her hand to Yan Ze, “Write it on my hand, I’ll guess.”
Yan Ze looked at her, took her hand, and wrote one letter at a time.
The camera also focused on their hands.
Xiao Rong looked at them both and laughed, “Why don’t you two just make it official.”
Sally covered her face with her other hand, just fitting within her small palm, “It’s all scripted.”
“What script? I didn’t get that,” Xiao Rong joked, “You two are so natural, it’s not something that can be acted out by a script.”
“Alright, I’m done writing,” Yan Ze let go of Sally’s hand.
Sally: “… I didn’t see it.”
Yan Ze wrote it again.
Sally suddenly understood and said to He Cheng, “Snake sting and cut wrist.”
He Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Was that so hard?”
“It’s mainly because President He was chopping hands and feet, confusing everyone.” Zhou Yu drank a glass of lemon juice, ready to take over the next performance.
After seeing his word, Zhou Yu mimed a book, then followed the path of the snake mimed by He Cheng.
Xiao Rong guessed offhand, “Dragon and Snake Chapter!”
Zhou Yu: “…”
Xiao Rong also glared.
“You two really have a connection,” He Cheng laughed.
Sally had chosen a cup of chili oil, just about to drink it, when Yan Ze took it from her hand, giving Sally a meaningful look, and downed it in one go.
Sally giggled, “Is it spicy?”
“It’s okay.” Yan Ze picked up the fruity yogurt Sally had been drinking and finished it in one breath!
Sally handed him another, “Keep going, yogurt soothes the spice.”
“Don’t order the wrong one next time,” Yan Ze retorted.
He Cheng was overjoyed.
The others looked at him with admiration.
The popularity of the live broadcast continued to surge…
