Heartbeat Emergency 51

Chapter 51: Annoying Couples are the Worst!

For the next three days, everyone basically rested at the Heartbeat House. Zhao Qifei and the others had been truly exhausted in the ancient town that day. The four of them immediately lay flat after returning to the Heartbeat House.

Even Zhao Qifei was not in the mood to build his persona. Everyone took turns cooking.

But because of Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun, the show’s popularity did not drop at all. While the director was gratified, he also felt a bit disappointed. Among the ten guests, besides Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun who were a sure thing, the way the others got along was more like meal buddies.

But Cheng Fei couldn’t do anything about it. He couldn’t go in and force the guests to be together.

Tomorrow was the last day of the show. He could be considered to have successfully completed his mission.

On the morning of the fourteenth day, the host, Yang Rui, arrived in the main hall early. She notified all the guests in the group to gather in the main hall.

Su Jian Yue still came with Shen Xun.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yang Rui then said, “Tomorrow, our show will officially end. All guests can also choose their person of interest tomorrow. But it will still not be announced on the spot. Tomorrow afternoon, the alphas will wait at a designated location arranged by the production team to see if you can wait for your person of interest.”

Yang Rui’s gaze fell on the group, and she added, “So today is everyone’s last chance. In the evening, everyone can organize a final heart-to-heart talk on your own.”

“Okay, I got it,” Mao Ning replied indifferently. Anyway, Zheng Tianming was not interested in him. He knew this very well. For the past few days, he had simply treated this place as a place for leisure and relaxation.

Most of the others also had this mentality. It was more like they had met a good meal buddy than having a good impression of the other person.

Even Jiang Ying and Yu Lin were like this. Although the two of them often went in and out together, they essentially still felt that the other person was a good friend.

Seeing that no one had much of a reaction, Yang Rui smiled. “Why aren’t you guys excited at all? Don’t you want to know if anyone will choose you tomorrow?”

“We’ve already reached this point. It doesn’t really matter anymore. Everyone has gotten along quite harmoniously, and there have been no conflicts. I think that’s enough,” Zheng Tianming also chimed in.

His initial person of interest was Yu Lin, but Yu Lin was clearly not interested in him and just treated him as a friend. After getting along for these few days, Zheng Tianming had also come to terms with it.

Even Zhao Qifei and Chen Zhibin were no longer causing trouble. After all, Shen Xun was already with Su Jian Yue. If they tried to compete again, they would be the third party.

Seeing that everyone was so Zen, the host smiled helplessly. “Alright then. You can also treat the heart-to-heart chat session tonight as an old friends’ night talk. It’s up to you.”

“Okay!” Ren Peng replied with a smile.

The netizens in the live stream also started to discuss it.

[I feel like this season of the romance variety show only produced the pair of Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun. The others all seem to be indifferent.]

[Yes, but it’s also quite good. Except for when I’m watching Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun, I treat this show as a romance variety show. The rest of the time, I watch it as a food show.]

[To the person above, to be fair, everyone’s cooking skills are really good. It’s very appetizing.]

[I’m different. I watch this show as a friendship show. Among the ten guests, besides Zhao Qifei and Chen Zhibin who are a bit greasy, everyone else seems quite normal.]

[Indeed. But seeing the cub I liked as a child grow up and even fall in love, I’m also very satisfied.]

[Yes. Sob, the CP I shipped as a child has really come true!]

In the evening, everyone gathered together. Zheng Tianming and the others brought all the unfinished wine from before up to the third floor.

Ren Peng looked at all the wine and smiled. “We only have wine. Are there no snacks to go with it?”

Jiang Ying replied, “There are. The duck necks, duck intestines, and braised vegetables that Shen Xun made in the afternoon should be cool and have absorbed the flavor by now. She and Su Jian Yue are serving them downstairs.”

“It’s good that there’s something to eat,” Ren Peng said with a smile.

Not only had Shen Xun prepared food, but Zhao Qifei had also boiled a pot of edamame. Although this thing had to be shelled, it tasted very good after being boiled and was very suitable as a snack to go with drinks.

When Shen Xun and Su Jian Yue came upstairs with the food, they saw that the small table had already been cleared.

Mao Ning teased with a smile, “We were just waiting for your food. Wow, this braised food looks so delicious. Is it spicy?”

Shen Xun nodded. “It has to be spicy. This thing has no feeling if it’s not spicy.”

“If you want something not spicy, there is also that. I boiled some edamame. Everyone can have it as a snack to go with the drinks,” Zhao Qifei said, and directly took a large basin, put all the edamame in it, and brought it up.

Yu Lin had already poured fruit wine into everyone’s glasses. She smiled and said, “Today is our last night together. Everyone, drink to your heart’s content. If you get drunk, you can just go back to your room to rest.”

“Okay. Let’s have a drink together first to celebrate that we could all gather here,” Zheng Tianming suggested.

“Sure.”

Everyone chimed in and picked up their glasses. Even Su Jian Yue, who was not a good drinker, obediently drank a glass with everyone.

Shen Xun had been watching Su Jian Yue. Seeing her finish a glass, she quickly reached out with her chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of duck intestine and braised vegetables. Shen Xun directly fed them to Su Jian Yue’s lips.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Su Jian Yue blushed slightly, but she was also very happy that her older sister was feeding her.

She obediently took a bite, and then her cheeks visibly turned red. “S-ha, so spicy.”

Looking at the little puppy who was being spiced, Shen Xun quickly took a piece of bread and gave it to her, letting her eat some to relieve the spiciness in her mouth.

After she had recovered, Su Jian Yue finally said, “This duck is so delicious. Besides being a bit spicy, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s eat!” Mao Ning said, and also took a small bowl and eagerly started to get some.

Besides the duck and vegetables in the basin, there were also peeled eggs soaked in the sauce. By now, the outer layer of the eggs had been dyed with a sweet and spicy flavor. One bite would make your mouth water, and you couldn’t stop.

And so, for the next half an hour, Su Jian Yue and the others would occasionally hiss while eating non-stop.

When Su Jian Yue was spiced, she started to eat the edamame.

Mao Ning was already full. Only then did he remember the main task for the evening. “Hey? Didn’t we agree that tonight was a night talk session? Why is everyone just focused on eating?”

“Didn’t you just get full too?” Liang Wenjing replied with a smile.

“Alright. Then we’ve all more or less eaten. Let’s just chat casually. Anyway, besides Shen Xun and Su Jian Yue, no one else has become a couple,” Zheng Tianming said, and even started to laugh at himself.

This group of them had turned a romance variety show into a friendship show.

“Alright. We’re all going our separate ways tomorrow. I’m quite reluctant to leave everyone, especially Zhao Qifei and Shen Xun. I feel like I can’t live without you two. Your cooking is too delicious,” Liang Wenjing said with sincere emotion.

“We’ll keep in touch in the future. If you want to eat, I’m available anytime,” Zhao Qifei said. Hearing someone mention him, he immediately perked up.

Shen Xun also smiled. “My cooking is just ordinary home-style. Is it really that delicious?”

“Mmm, delicious!” Su Jian Yue quickly chimed in.

Shen Xun found the obedient little puppy cute and couldn’t resist reaching out to pinch her cheek.

Ren Peng pouted on the side. “Hiss, I was wondering why I was so full. Your dog food has already filled me up.”

“Hah, no one here can escape their dog food,” Yu Lin also chimed in.

“Exactly. Shen Xun, Su Jian Yue, when you two get married, you can’t forget us. When we get our phones back tomorrow, let’s all add each other as friends. If you two get married, I must give you a red envelope,” Zheng Tianming said jokingly.

“Sure. Everyone is welcome to come then,” Shen Xun replied with a calm smile.

The moment Shen Xun finished speaking, she was jeered at by everyone.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems Shen Xun has really thought about getting married in the future. She’s thinking quite far ahead,” Ren Peng said with a smile.

Shen Xun nodded. “Mmm, I’m serious with her. It’s not just for fun. Besides, our parents are also very familiar with each other. We know each other’s backgrounds. It’s very normal to decide to get married in the future, right?”

“You’re really good at showing off,” Jiang Ying said, giving Shen Xun a thumbs up.

Shen Xun smiled faintly and said nothing. On the other hand, Su Jian Yue, who was beside her, blushed from being teased.

She looked up at Shen Xun, and then even the base of her ears turned completely red. Has Older Sister even thought about getting married in the future?

The more Su Jian Yue thought about it, the shier she became. She even reached out and pulled on Shen Xun’s wrist.

Shen Xun reached out and took Su Jian Yue’s hand, and then she saw that her little puppy’s cheeks and ears had turned red.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Xun asked softly.

Su Jian Yue quickly shook her head. To cool herself down, she poured herself another glass of fruit wine and then drank it all in one go.

“Su Jian Yue, you’re not very good at this. You’re getting shy before anything is even said. You need to practice more,” Mao Ning teased with a smile.

Su Jian Yue drank a glass of fruit wine and obediently moved closer to Shen Xun’s side. “I have my older sister.”

“Hiss, hiss, hiss. They’re starting to spread dog food again. Annoying couples are the worst!”

“Exactly. We condemn you annoying couples!” Ren Peng chimed in with a smile.

As everyone joked around, they also drank a lot of red wine and fruit wine. Many of them got drunk. In the end, it was the follow-cam cameramen who sent these drunkards back to their respective rooms.

Su Jian Yue had drunk three glasses of fruit wine and half a glass of red wine. She was already dizzy by now. She obediently leaned against Shen Xun and nuzzled against her. “Older Sister, I’m dizzy.”

Shen Xun looked at the little puppy who was acting cute with her, her eyes curving into a smile. “Don’t be scared. I’ll take you back to your room. Can you still stand up?”

Su Jian Yue shook her head.

Seeing the little puppy shake her head, Shen Xun smiled and helped her up. “Come on, slowly. Lean on me. Don’t fall.”

“Mmm, I’ll be good~” Su Jian Yue said, her head dizzy as she leaned towards Shen Xun’s side, not forgetting to act cute with a sweet mouth.

Shen Xun was so hooked by her that her lips curled up. Her face was full of an unstoppable smile. Little puppies really have a low tolerance for alcohol. A few glasses of fruit wine and she’s already drunk.
