Chapter 42 Hao Jian's Wishful Thinking
Zhong Zheyi's eyes lit up, but he didn't accept immediately. "It's okay if I miss two meals, but what if I don't find the puppet this afternoon, or if I break the hidden rules and keep losing points? Wouldn't that be terrible?"
"Don't worry," Cheng Ai interrupted him, saying confidently, "Three cobblers are as good as one Zhuge Liang. With the three of us working together, are we afraid we won't be able to complete the mission?"
Just then, Song Yifei hurried over with a bowl of rice noodles, "I want to join too!"
As she spoke, she also offered up her bracelet, saying, "There are 8 points inside. If you don't mind, we can split the cost."
Zhong Zheyi hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation. He asked Wu Xu what he wanted to eat, then picked up the bracelet and ran towards the glass cabinet.
Cheng Ai continued eating the lobster tail, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the silky, slippery vermicelli, and couldn't help but lick her lips.
After Song Yifei sat down, she took the initiative to put two chopsticks of rice noodles into her bowl, saying, "Don't be shy, we're all sisters."
Cheng Ai chuckled and moved her three dishes over there, gesturing for her to eat together.
Friendships between girls always develop very quickly; they talk about food one minute and gossip the next, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
Cheng Ai's intention was clear: she simply wanted to slurp up a few more mouthfuls of noodles.
Song Yifei, however, was not so innocent. She centered her conversation around Ye Jingke, subtly probing for information about him, hoping to establish a relationship with him.
However, Cheng Ai remained evasive throughout the entire conversation, revealing nothing.
Of course, she wasn't deliberately hiding it; she genuinely didn't know.
The original owner's impression of Ye Jingke was limited to his identity and appearance; he knew nothing else.
Although she had a good relationship with him, they had only known each other for two weeks. How could she possibly know everything about him?
Not long after, Zhong Zheyi returned with two lunches, which cost a total of 6 points.
Cheng Ai had no appetite for the bland beef noodles, but the braised pork rice smelled delicious, so she unceremoniously scooped up a small spoonful.
The three people, who were of similar age and shared similar interests, quickly started chatting away.
Wu Xu listened to their conversation silently, occasionally interjecting with a few words, his presence barely noticeable.
The left side of the dining table was filled with joy and laughter, while the right side was deathly silent.
Looking at the bright red chopped chili fish head, spicy pork intestines, and stir-fried shrimp with dried chilies, Cheng Baoni's eyes twitched.
Eating a tiny bit of spicy food during pregnancy is fine, but eating too much will definitely affect the baby.
Moreover, her hemorrhoids have recently flared up, so she dares not touch spicy food at all.
Seeing Hao Jian casually eating the fatty intestines, Cheng Baoni shook her head helplessly, cursing herself for being stupid.
For a fleeting moment, she doubted his intentions; now, thinking back, she realized how foolish she had been.
Ah Jian has always had a strong palate and likes spicy food. He has never taken care of a pregnant woman before and did not know that she had hemorrhoids, so it is normal for him to be so unrestrained.
Cheng Baoni gently poked at the rice, her eyes glancing at the fish head in front of her from time to time, her expression conflicted.
My hemorrhoids didn't flare up last night when I ate spicy noodles, so eating some spicy food today shouldn't be a problem, right...?
After thinking for a moment, she picked up the fish head and put it in her mouth, then stuffed a big mouthful of rice into her mouth, chewed it up, and swallowed it.
After a pleasant lunch, Cheng Ai spent 2 points to redeem 4 bottles of water and then left the table alone, not knowing where she went.
The three guests, including Zhong Zheyi, either went to digest their food or lay around doing nothing; in short, they all left at once.
Cheng Baoni was so hot that she kept fanning herself while clamoring for juice.
Hao Jian impatiently agreed to run the errand, but when he stood in the beverage area and saw the beer, his wicked thoughts resurfaced.
Yes, he did it on purpose!
His first step in the plan was to cause Cheng Baoni to miscarry by using extremely spicy food, and then use her gluttony as an excuse to evade responsibility when the miscarriage occurred.
Since this trick didn't work, how about trying alcohol instead?
Now there are only the two of them in the restaurant. The timing, location, and people are all perfect—it's an excellent opportunity!
Just as his fingertips touched the beer can, he heard footsteps behind him.
Hao Jian abruptly withdrew his hand, took a bottle of peach juice, and handed it to Cheng Baoni.
Upon seeing the newcomer, he tensed up, his face turning as black as the bottom of a pot. "Why are you always haunting me? Get out of here and don't disturb my time with Bonnie!"
Cheng Baoni took the drink and drank a few sips, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.
Cheng Ai merely glanced coldly at his chest before turning around and exchanging her money for a small plate of dessert, which she then leisurely enjoyed on the sofa.
She had just taken a casual stroll, and although it was pitch black outside, she could still vaguely make out the thick black fog surrounding her.
Clearly, a protective barrier has been deployed around this ancient castle.
Judging from the intensity and scope, the number of things hidden is probably quite large.
Cheng Aineng could roughly guess why they had gathered there, but the one who tied the knot must untie it; if she intervened rashly, it might backfire.
She has never liked meddling in other people's business, and if evil spirits don't harm people, it's not a bad thing to turn a blind eye.
Thinking this way, Cheng Ai felt much more relaxed.
Seeing that it was still early, she planned to eat a piece of cake first, and then take a short nap to avoid feeling tired in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Hao Jian sneakily reaching for a beer can.
Cheng Ai naturally knew his intentions and was slightly startled.
How could Hao Jian be so heartless as to not even spare his own flesh and blood!
Cheng Baoni was very obedient to him and always thought of him. She even asked Zou Xuan to fund the creation of "Dare to Be" for him. Why did he suddenly repay kindness with enmity?
Could it be that he has found a new prey, and thus abandoned his old love for a new one?
A chill ran through Cheng Ai's mind, and she felt a sudden dread.
What was wrong with the original owner of this body? How could she have chosen such a person as her boyfriend?
Hao Jian was so frightened by her gaze that his whole body stiffened and his legs trembled violently.
Feeling guilty and fearful, he instinctively covered his chest, his eyes darting around erratically.
Cheng Ai didn't cause any trouble; she finished her dessert and went back to her room to rest.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside the castle, a torrential downpour was underway, accompanied by deafening thunder, creating an atmosphere of impending doom and chilling the heart.
The live stream quietly started, and the guests appeared on screen looking radiant.
Wow, Ai'ai looks so beautiful today, like a fairy descended from heaven!
My daughter seems to particularly love blue clothes, but they really suit her.
[Why haven't those two, that scumbag and bitch, left the recording yet? It's disgusting!]
[Who forced you to watch this? Are you just whining and trying to get attention?]
Princess Fifi is so cute, merry-go-round!
Looking at the whole event, my angelic brother was still the most handsome!
[Doesn't anyone feel sorry for the old man with the white beard? He's so old and still working so hard; it's truly admirable.]
The live stream was buzzing with activity, but Gong Qian, inside the studio, had a tightly pursed mouth and a furrowed brow. "Who started this live stream on their own initiative? Don't they respect me as the director?"
The staff looked at each other, all trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.
After a long pause, Zhao Nan finally spoke up awkwardly, "I was just drafting the dinner menu. Some of them were editing, some were checking the equipment, and some were making promotional videos. They were all so busy that they didn't have time to do anything else."
