Chapter 145 This time I don't need to spend 1!
Ye Jingke put the egg in his pocket, tied the pheasant with a rope, and suggested in a deep voice, "Animals also know how to seek shelter from the rain. Let's try another place."
[I understand, I understand. The butterfly's search range is limited, which is why Ai Bao'er insisted on coming out.]
[Damn it, without Ai'ai, everyone would starve to death!]
Cheng Ai shrugged noncommittally and continued walking forward, occasionally picking wild vegetables, mushrooms, and releasing butterflies.
When they returned to camp, the two brought back eleven wild chicken eggs, three wild duck eggs, two pheasants, one wild rabbit, one wild goose, and countless wild vegetables and mushrooms—a bountiful harvest, enough for a delicious meal.
Zhong Zheyi and the others were also busy. They covered the floor of the wooden house with large leaves to prevent their clothes from getting dirty at night, and built a small dining table with branches and planted a few mosquito-repelling plants on it, giving it a rural town feel.
Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai took off their soaked shoes and socks and went to the stove to warm themselves by the fire.
Yun Panpan's gaze swept over the food one by one, and then she couldn't help but exclaim, "Night Emperor and Sister Ai, you two are amazing! You actually found so much wild game, you're simply incredible!"
Ye Jingke smiled faintly, pointed to his side, and said directly, "I was only responsible for carrying things; it was all thanks to Ai Ai."
Cheng Ai waved her hand dismissively, accepting the praise without hesitation, saying, "It's nothing, not worth mentioning."
[I especially love Ai Ai's completely unpretentious demeanor; she absolutely crushes the vast majority of those flashy and pretentious women in the entertainment industry!]
[Agreed. My ex-girlfriend had a very indecisive personality, which made me so angry that I broke up with her in less than a month.]
Ouyang Yuze, Yuan Yao, and Zhong Zheyi were responsible for handling the chicken, rabbit, and goose, while Yu Duo, Yun Panpan, and Shu Tian were responsible for picking and washing the vegetables. The six of them worked together to prepare dinner.
Seeing that the flames were about to go out, Cheng Ai quickly threw in two tree branches, which sparked a few fireflies.
Ye Jingke stared intently at her. The firelight made her features appear even more delicate, her clear eyes gleaming, and her lips curved into shallow dimples. She was like a gentle breeze, captivating everyone's gaze.
His expression darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his breathing became rapid, his heartbeat quickened, and he even felt a bit thirsty.
Feeling a burning gaze fall upon her, Cheng Ai's cheeks flushed slightly. She pretended to be calm and hurriedly ran over to Yun Panpan to help her pick vegetables.
Good heavens, is this jerk crazy? How dare he look at her like that in front of the camera? Doesn't he fear that netizens will discover something amiss?
The strong winds had just stopped, but the rain continued. Inside the wooden house, however, it was warm and cozy. One cup after another of stir-fried meat was served, steaming hot and fragrant.
Zhong Zheyi was busy frying eggs, while Ye Jingke squatted at the doorway, washing his shoes and socks with rainwater.
Ouyang Yuze roasted a rabbit, Yuan Yao roasted a pheasant, Yu Duo started polishing the crystal ball again, and Yun Panpan kept trying to persuade Shu Tian not to leave the entertainment industry, but she seemed to have made up her mind and could not be changed.
Cheng Ai resisted for a long time, but finally couldn't resist. She picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the meat, and was immediately overjoyed. "Wow~ the meat is so tender and smooth~ so delicious~ Zheyi's cooking skills have improved again~"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Zheyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned sheepishly, and said, "As long as Sister Xiao Ai is satisfied."
[Angel Brother is such a sunny and lovable guy, I'll definitely choose a boyfriend like him in the future.]
[Speechless, speechless, speechless! I'll say it three times: speechless! Whether or not Daomei Tian retires from the entertainment industry is none of Guan Yunpanpan's business! What right does she have to interfere in other people's lives?]
As Tian Tian's tenth die-hard fan, I know how dedicated she is to acting. Her achievements are truly remarkable, and it would be a huge waste for her to give up because of Qi Xingyue.
Whatever decision my sweetheart makes, I will always support her!
[What's the point of cleaning Yu Duo's plastic crystal ball? Is she just pretending to be busy to avoid work?]
[Ugh! Night Emperor, you're actually washing Cheng Ai's socks! Stop right now, or you'll catch athlete's foot!]
[I'm speechless! Last night, Ouyang Yuze secretly ate some wild vegetables, and now Cheng Ai is eating first without any manners. It's absolutely outrageous!]
[Is someone upstairs crazy? All the food was obtained by Xiao Ai'ai using mystical arts; why can't she taste it first?]
Why roast rabbit and stew chicken at the same time? It's so convenient to cook them all at once!
Watching Cheng Ai wolf down her food, Ye Jingke quickly wrung out his socks and hung them on the clothes rack, washed his hands with rainwater, and stepped towards the stove.
His slender fingers pinched two branches, and he elegantly put a small piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it slowly. After a while, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and a dangerous glint flashed across them.
It was indeed delicious. It seems I need to systematically learn cooking techniques.
Zhong Zheyi brought a pot of stir-fried wild vegetables and eggs to the small dining table, then ran off to make soup. Ye Jingke couldn't wait to take a small bite of the stir-fried eggs. Hmm, the saltiness was just right, and the taste was good.
About ten minutes later, all the dishes were served, and the eight guests sat in a circle, chatting and enjoying the delicious food.
After dinner, the women chatted and enjoyed the rain, while the men washed dishes and cleaned up the trash, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
"Yao and I were on watch last night. Who's coming tonight?" Yun Panpan asked, frowning as she noticed it was getting late.
"Me and Ai Ai," Ye Jingke said in a deep voice, having put on his shoes and socks that had just dried.
“Tomorrow I’m with Tian Tian!” Zhong Zheyi immediately replied.
"God has arranged for me to keep watch with Ouyang Zhou Si. I have already made up my mind. Good night." After saying this, Yu Duo took the lead and went to lie down on the innermost side of the wooden house.
“Um… Night Emperor…” Yuan Yao was so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but he still forced himself to stay awake and weakly raised his hand, “When you recommended Sister Ai and Sister Tian Tian to Director Zhou… could you also mention me and Pan Pan…”
Ye Jingke was taken aback by his request. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he chuckled and nodded. “I will try to give everyone here an audition opportunity. As for whether you go or not, and whether you succeed or not, that depends on your own fate.”
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Yuan Yao's drowsiness vanished instantly. He excitedly danced around, hugged his girlfriend, and kissed her wildly, "Hahaha... Panpan... I'm so happy... This time we don't have to spend a million... Hahaha..."
Yun Panpan was half asleep when she suddenly heard his trembling voice filled with joy, and she also started to giggle foolishly.
Ouyang Yuze was overjoyed. Was the movie star Ye really that easy to talk to? He should have been more shameless and made his request!
Do you really have to bribe Zhou Yanfeng to get an audition? Unbelievable!
[It's very likely that someone below them accepted the audition; otherwise, why didn't Ah Yao receive an audition notification last time?]
[Brother Ye is so kind, giving away seven spots at once! I'm so envious!]
[Panpan is hilarious! She probably doesn't even know why Ayao went crazy, but she just laughed along.]
[The realistic mushrooms on Night Emperor and Xiao Ai's heads are so pretty! Director, could you please provide a link?]
