ineffable relationship

Two days later, the recording site of the "My Restaurant" program group.

The host stood nervously in the corner, adjusting his breathing, and the corner of the manuscript in his hand was wet with sweat from the palm of his hand unconsciously.

It has been more than two years since this variety show was broadcast.It stands to reason that the host should have been at his fingertips long ago.

But today's guests are not too big, and the host is a big movie fan of the two guests.One is a new love and the other is an old love. It is strange that the host is not nervous or excited.

In the backstage dressing room, the guests and partners all put on their makeup and waited to enter.

Zhan Raozhi was wearing a black one-shoulder simple and elegant long dress, and her long brown curly hair was scattered on her back. She was sitting in front of the makeup mirror.

Zhan Raozhi's clothes are all designed and made by Italian designers, and she walks in a style that is familiar with Yujie.The style is simple and elegant, without losing style, and the price is expensive at first glance.

Lin Jingyan wore a light blue Dior haute couture dress with pearl embellishments around the cuffs.The skirt is a fluffy mesh fabric that just reaches the knee.

"Sister, you know."

After putting on her makeup, Lin Jingyan slipped to Zhan Raozhi's side, and excitedly said to Zhan Raozhi, "I couldn't believe it when I first found out that you were in this show."

"Then why are you here?"

Zhan Rao glanced at Lin Jingyan from the corner of the eye, and said politely to the makeup artist, "Hello, there is no need to paint anymore, that's it."

"But, Miss Zhan."

The makeup artist stopped what she was doing, looked at the beautiful mixed-race woman in front of her, and explained, "I just put on your makeup."

"It's okay, I'll just put on some lipstick myself."

"That's right, Miss Zhan is born beautiful, so she doesn't need to paint at all."

The makeup artist wisely put away the makeup box, turned around and left the dressing room with the box in hand.

Seeing that the makeup artist had left, Lin Jingyan leaned into Lin Jingyan's ear and whispered, "I want to record a show with Wen Che, and I finally got the chance."

In addition to Xi Yin, the guest of this episode is Han Yang, who was originally from Zhong Yi's family.However, due to a conflict in the schedule, the time could not be adjusted.So, I had to temporarily replace Zhong Yi's other artist, Ji Wenche.

"So you pushed down the other announcements in your hand."

Zhan Rao looked at Lin Jingyan with displeasure, "Is there someone who falls in love like you, you're just a fool."

"Sorry to talk about me, but what about you? It's not like you're inseparable."

Not to be outdone, Lin Jingyan looked at Zhan Raozhi and said.

"I'm on business, not the same as you."

Zhan Rao knew what was right and spoke up.

"Sister, do you believe it yourself?"

Lin Jingyan asked back.

"shut up!"

Zhan Raozhi frowned and looked at Lin Jingyan, and said coldly.

"Okay, stop joking."

Lin Jingyan immediately put on a serious face, "However, sister. Have you ever wondered why Xi Yin betrayed you at the shareholder meeting, but handed over the recording pen after the meeting."

"For her, this is undoubtedly driving herself to a dead end. Fortunately, the chairman caught her by surprise and made her famous in the past two years. Otherwise, after Ji Muxue, she will be the next one to be hidden by the snow."

"Of course I have thought about it."

Zhan Raozhi said calmly, "Even if she has some difficulties, the fact that she betrayed me cannot be changed. If you want me to forgive her, then she will come and kneel down for me in person, and explain the matter to me clearly."

"Backbone! Sis, I support you!"

Lin Jingyan gave Zhan Raozhi a thumbs up and nodded hastily.

At this time, the staff of the program team came to the dressing room and asked the two partners to enter.

At the recording site, Xi Yin was wearing a smoky gray autumn dress with ankle length, the entire sleeves were made of lace hollow fabric, and her long hair was simply braided behind her head.The makeup on his face was very light, almost plain.

Ji Wenche stood beside Xi Yin in a pink Chanel suit, her long hair was tied into a ball head, a pair of big smart eyes, and her lips were an attractive cherry red.

"My teacher Ji is pretty."

Lin Jingyan stood beside Zhan Raozhi, looking at Ji Wenche with starry eyes.

"anthomaniac."

Zhan Rao didn't say any more after he spit out two words.

The host entered the state in a second, and was worried that he would be uncomfortable if he was too nervous.Fortunately, Xi Yinghou has always been approachable, and doing a show with her gives people a particularly comfortable feeling.

"Everyone must be looking forward to it. Who is the mysterious partner of our two guests?"

The host held the microphone in his hand, looked sideways towards the backstage, and clapped the hand holding the microphone, "Come on, welcome our special guest to the stage."

"Queen Lin, Miss Zhan, it's your turn to play."

The staff stood beside the two of them and whispered a reminder.

Lin Jingyan turned sideways, smiled at the staff, and walked in front.Zhan Raozhi followed Lin Jingyan and also walked towards the center of the stage.

"Hello everyone."

Lin Jingyan stood beside Ji Wenche, waved slightly to the audience, and greeted with a smile, "I'm Lin Jingyan."

"Hi everyone, I'm Zhan Raozhi."

Zhan Raozhi looked at the camera with an official smile.

"welcome!"

After the two guests entered the stage, the host tactfully stood in the farthest right position, and smiled politely at the two special guests, "Welcome Lin Yinghou, welcome Raozhi."

"First, let's talk about the rules of our show, which is very different from previous shows."

The host held the microphone and looked at the camera with a mischievous smile, deliberately prolonging the sound, "For this episode, our two guests will bring their partners to complete a special dish of their own. Then our judges will score, Choose the best partner of this issue."

"Empress Xi, what dish did you bring us today?"

The host tilted his head to look at Xi Yin, and asked with a smile.

“Ma Po Tofu with Seafood Noodles.”

Xi Yin smiled at the host and answered.

"What about Wen Che, what did you bring us today?"

“Curry dumplings with live octopus.”

Ji Wenche showed a sweet smile at the host.

Ji Wenche didn't know how to cook, but these years, in order to catch Lin Jingyan's stomach, he studied recipes at home whenever he had time.Over time, I have developed a skill in cooking, but this dish is also out of the ordinary.

"It sounds delicious."

The host looked at the guests with a very expectant expression, "It's not too late. Next, let's hand over the scene to our two groups of guests, and show us all a superb cooking performance."

The camera cuts and the host has stepped down.

The two groups of guests went to their own open kitchens, washed their hands, and started cooking.

"Raozhi, can you wash the dishes for me?"

Xi Yin put some seasonal vegetables in a vegetable basket, handed them to Zhan Rao, and said softly.

"okay."

Zhan Raozhi took the vegetable basket handed to him by Xi Yin, turned around and walked to the washing pot.Turn on the tap and start washing the vegetables.

The flour was prepared in advance before the recording of the show. What Xi Yin has to do now is to knead the already prepared dough and roll it into noodles.

Xi Yin lowered her head and was rolling out the noodles, occasionally glanced at Zhan Raozhi from the corner of her eye, with an uncontrollable smile on the corner of her mouth.

Xi Yin had imagined such a warm scene in his heart countless times.

After washing the dishes, Zhan Rao walked up to Xi Yin with a basket of vegetables, only to find that Xi Yin's left cheek had some flour on it.

"You've got flour on your face."

Zhan Raozhi looked at Xi Yin and whispered a reminder.

"Wipe it off for me."

Xi Yin turned her head, stretched out a pair of hands full of flour to Zhan Raozhi, smiled and said, "My hands are also full of flour."

"..."

Zhan Rao didn't know whether to answer or not, and didn't know what to do.

Zhan Rao didn't expect that this person would want to make himself do such an ambiguous action in front of the national audience. It seems that he underestimated this person's small mind.

Zhan Rao knew he was helpless, so he raised his hand and gently wiped off the flour on Xi Yin's cheek with his fingertips.

"Thank you."

Xi Yin smiled at Zhan Raozhi, then turned around and continued rolling the noodles.

On the other side of the stage, Ji Wenche picked up a whole octopus and smiled mysteriously at Lin Jingyan, "Do you dare to eat it?"

"What's wrong with that!"

Lin Jingyan gave Ji Wenche a blank look, and then hesitated, "But, is this really eaten raw? It's just soaked in water or something?"

"Come on, you take it first."

Ji Wenche handed the octopus to Lin Jingyan.

Lin Jingyan was a little afraid of this thing, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the octopus from the opponent's hand.

"To eat this live octopus, you must first stroke down along the tentacles of the octopus. In this way, the sucker of the octopus will shrink in by itself, so that the tongue will not be sucked by the sucker when eating for a while."

"What! Still have your tongue sucked?"

When Lin Jingyan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't worry, it won't happen now."

Ji Wenche raised his head and smiled confidently at Lin Jingyan.

While talking, Ji Wenche slowly stroked down the tentacles of the octopus with his hands wearing disposable gloves, and the tentacles of the octopus retracted instantly.

"Okay, give it to me."

Ji Wenche looked at Lin Jingyan and said, handing an empty plate to Lin Jingyan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyan quickly put the live octopus in his hand on a plate.

Lin Jingyan wanted to let go of this sticky thing a long time ago. Although he was wearing gloves, he could still feel the wetness.

Ji Wenche didn't notice Lin Jingyan's fear at all, put the live octopus on the plate on the chopping board, and began to cut the octopus deeply.

"Jingyan, do you want to try it?"

Ji Wenche grabbed a small piece of octopus tentacles with his gloved hand, and fed it to Lin Jingyan's mouth.

Lin Jingyan reflexively took half a step back, opened his mouth, and ate the live octopus in the opponent's hand in one gulp.

"How about it?"

Ji Wenche looked at Lin Jingyan expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

The expression on Lin Jingyan's face was indescribably mixed, and he chewed a few times quickly.It seems that the taste is quite good, but I feel that the tentacles of the octopus are still moving.

"good to eat!"

Lin Jingyan swallowed the live octopus in his mouth, and smiled at Ji Wenche.

Four or ten minutes later, the main judge rang the bell on his desk, signaling the end of cooking time.

The host returned to the stage again and walked in front of the guests.After some compliments, the dishes prepared by the guests were divided into three parts and sent to the three judges respectively.

After some food tasting and comments by the judges, the final winner was picked by Xi Yin and Zhan Rao's knowledge group without any suspense.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the recording of "My Restaurant" was completed, and Zhan Raozhi was the first to leave the show.

Downstairs in the program group building, a Rolls Royce Phantom parked on the side of the road.

"Have you checked the consumption records?"

Zhan Raozhi sat on the back seat of the car and asked on the phone.

"Back to Director Zhan, the unlimited credit card of China Merchants under your name has been used for [-] yuan so far."

"What did you buy?"

"The books are all related reading materials for elementary school students."

"Have you found out about Xi Cheng?"

"I found out that Xi Cheng is indeed Miss Xi's only biological sister. She is four years younger than Miss Xi. She is 23 years old and just graduated from university."

"but……"

"But what? Don't hesitate."

"Two years ago, Xi Cheng spent nearly half a year in a mental hospital."

"Psychiatric hospital?"

"Yes, the **** mental hospital in this city."

"What about their parents?"

"Miss Xi's parents died in a car accident when Miss Xi was in her sophomore year."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Raozhi frowned slightly.Immediately afterwards, a pair of pupils gradually turned red.

"Okay, no more checking."

Zhan Raozhi adjusted his mood and said calmly to the other end of the phone.

"Okay, I understand, Director Zhan."

The man on the other end of the phone said politely.

After hanging up the phone, Zhan Raozhi put away the phone and looked out of the car window with tears in her eyes.

Coincidentally, Xi Yin just came out of the program building accompanied by his assistant and manager.

Zhan Raozhi put his hand on the handle of the car door unconsciously. There was a momentary urge in his heart to open the car and rush out, but he held back in the end.

"drive home."

Zhan Raozhi turned his head and said something coldly to the driver.

The street scene outside the car window quickly reversed, and people on the street were in groups or alone.The look on the face is talking and laughing, or secretly sad.

Zhan Raozhi's gaze has been quietly looking out of the car window, feeling very stuffy and uncomfortable, feeling out of breath.

Why?Why lie!Why do you have to carry all the suffering alone.Is it not enough love?Or is it not enough trust?
