Chapter 16: Let’s Work Together Well

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Immediately, a chorus of laughter broke out all around.

Su Xia’s eyes curved into two crescent-moon-like shapes, and after waving twice, she walked into the recording building with the staff surrounding her.

The fans’ voices came continuously from behind. “Big Sis is so pretty!” (TN: In China, it is common for fans to call their favorite celebrities 姐姐 (jiějie) or 哥哥 (gēge), meaning Big Sis or Big Bro, to feel closer to them. In this case, the celebrities are usually older or around the same age as the fans.)

“Xiaxia! All the best!”

“…”

After screaming, one of Su Xia’s fans, who was holding a pink banner in her hand, looked strangely at a screaming Lu Jingyao fan who was all dressed in blue, and tilted her head.

She felt terrible, as if she had been robbed of the opportunity to show off.

The atmosphere at the recording scene today was particularly lively.

Su Xia’s appearance brought about a wave of exclamations, as if she was attending her own fan meeting. While smiling and nodding politely with a slight bow, she walked over to the hosts who were checking their scripts and greeted them.

Out of the two hosts, she had worked with the hostess Yin Na before, so she was more familiar with her. She reached out to shake hands with the host Cheng Zhengming and greeted him politely first before talking to Yin Na.

After that came the six resident chefs who were all very excited and joyful to see her.

Su Xia greeted them, gave them autographs, and took photos with them one by one. She saw Yin Na, who had finished checking her script, walking toward her with snacks in her hands and shooting an implicative glance in Xue Mingan’s direction.

“Grab a bite to stimulate your appetite first; you can eat all you want later.”

Su Xia accepted the snacks, tore open the packaging quickly, and took a bite. “Don’t mind if I do.”

When Xue Mingan saw this, she had already finished all the snacks brought over by Yin Na.

Su Xia was a little smug.

At the same time, all eyes in the studio looked in the direction of the door accompanied by low exclamations, and even Yin Na could not control her jaw from dropping slightly.

Her smugness was instantly replaced by nervousness and her fingertips stiffened a little. Su Xia took a deep breath calmly and turned around slowly. Behind Xu Si was Lu Jingyao, dressed in a white casual suit and walking over. The well-defined contours of his face gave off an aloofness which deterred strangers from approaching, and his pitch-black eyes contained nothing but indifference.

Smiling, Xu Si shook hands with Xue Mingan. “We were just talking about collaborating a few days ago, I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon.”

Xue Mingan said, “Yeah, let’s work together well~”

The two high-profile celebrities finally crossed paths.

Lu Jingyao lowered his eyes slightly and extended a slender hand to Su Xia, his voice devoid of any emotion. “Hello.”

Putting aside Qianqian’s pseudonym, the two of them were only strangers who had never encountered each other.

Pursing her lips, Su Xia lowered her gaze and returned his handshake. “Hello.”

Their hands barely touched before quickly letting go.

Some of the staff members around them were secretly taking pictures with their phones. These two most-searched celebrities were working together in the same frame for the first time. It was unknown when the next time would come, so this was seen as a hard-won opportunity.

The director clapped his hands. “Get ready to start shooting!”

Hearing that, Su Xia subconsciously lifted her gaze and glanced in the director’s direction, her crystal-clear eyes glimmering with a dark radiance, not a trace of impurity. For some reason, Lu Jingyao found them somewhat familiar.

It was as if he had seen them somewhere before.

He frowned.

Under the regular rules of “Attack, Chef God”, the guests would personally go to the market to buy groceries, but this time there were too many fans who came after hearing the news. Taking safety issues into account, the program team had directly set up a simple market with all kinds of meat and vegetables available in the studio.
