Chapter 79: Princess, Please Eat

With everyone’s combined efforts, they finally enjoyed coconut juice and a delicious coconut chicken hotpot that evening.

“Cheers!”

To celebrate Fang Zhou’s safe discharge from the hospital, everyone raised their glasses.

“There’s nothing like the fruits of your own labor, wow, it looks so good!”

“Absolutely, I think the coconuts they picked are pretty good. I wonder if they sell these island coconuts online; I’d love to try them.”

“+1, I want to try too! Si Si’s favorite must be really tasty!”

The live stream audience was drooling over the sumptuous dinner.

Fang Zhou downed his coconut juice in one go, feeling immensely satisfied. To accommodate his recent discharge, most dishes only had a small amount of chili.

He ate happily, quickly finishing two bowls of rice.

Just as he was about to serve himself a third bowl, someone decided to stir things up.

“Fang Zhou, I want to eat the garlic spareribs. Can you help me?”

Zhang Zhiyin sat to Fang Zhou’s left, but the garlic spareribs were on his right. She couldn’t reach them even if she stood up.

Everyone, who had been chatting in small groups, now focused their attention on them.

Tang Wan watched Fang Zhou with a mischievous smile, curious about his reaction.

On the first day on the island, she had hinted for Fang Zhou to serve her food, and he had brought her the entire plate.

Because of this, netizens had criticized Fang Zhou for being ungentlemanly and selfish, putting Tang Wan in a tough spot.

Fang Zhou must have seen those comments. Would he repeat his mistake today?

Besides Tang Wan, Chu Xinran and Han Xi, who had been chatting about beauty products, also paused to watch.

Qiao Sisi sipped her coconut juice slowly, while Qin Yun wiped her hands with a napkin.

Everyone seemed busy with their tasks but was actually paying attention to Fang Zhou.

Fang Zhou, however, was unaware.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhiyin’s request, he casually picked up the plate and handed it to her, saying, “Here you go.”

Zhang Zhiyin blinked and took a piece, thanking him. “Thank you.”

Fang Zhou then placed the plate back in its original spot.

This smooth process shouldn’t draw any criticism from netizens, right?

That’s what he thought, but someone else had other plans.

“I want spareribs too, Fang Zhou!”

Chu Xinran called his name with a smile, looking innocent.

The problem was, Chu Xinran was quite far from him, on opposite ends of the table, meaning Fang Zhou would have to stand up to serve her.

“I’ll help you, Xinran.”

Sun Haotian enthusiastically stood up to help but was promptly refused.

“No need; it’s more convenient for Fang Zhou.”

Sun Haotian froze mid-motion, gritting his teeth as he looked at Fang Zhou.

‘You’re really lucky, aren’t you?’

Fang Zhou was exasperated; this luck was something he didn’t want.

With no choice, Fang Zhou took another bowl, used the communal chopsticks to pick up two pieces of spareribs, and handed them to Chu Xinran.

“Thank you!”

She was happy, but Fang Zhou’s troubles were just beginning.

Just as he sat down, Qiao Sisi started up.

“I want some too, can you get it for me?”

The actress, looking fragile like a delicate flower, smiled harmlessly at Fang Zhou.

But Fang Zhou couldn’t forget yesterday’s scene with her holding a knife. His body moved faster than his mind, already picking up the communal chopsticks.

“Sure, sure, coming right up.”

He resignedly took the spareribs to Qiao Sisi, who then played a little game.

Qiao Sisi winked playfully and said in a sweet voice, “Say, ‘Princess, please eat the spareribs.'”

Fang Zhou’s hand trembled, nearly dropping the bowl.

Fine, if you want to play, let’s play. He couldn’t refuse on live stream.

“Princess, please eat the spareribs.”

Fang Zhou complied, prompting everyone to burst into laughter.

“Hahaha! You guys are so fashionable, even playing games!”

Everyone started mimicking Qiao Sisi, playing along with their neighbors.

“Prince, please drink coconut juice!”

“Princess, please eat shrimp balls!”

Qiao Sisi obediently took the spareribs and ate them without further fuss.

But Fang Zhou hadn’t even sat down when Qin Yun chimed in.

“Ahem, I want some crab too. Fang Zhou, could you help me?”

The crab was right beside Fang Zhou, and Qin Yun could easily reach it if she stood up, but she chose to ask Fang Zhou instead.

After serving Qin Yun the crab, Han Xi spoke up.

“Uh, I want some too.”

Fang Zhou: Alright, alright, you all just eat. Eat without a word.

He suspected the women were deliberately teaming up against him.

There were plenty of male guests around, but they chose to ask him.

Some dishes were within reach if they stood up, but they insisted Fang Zhou serve them.

At first, the other male guests thought it was a coincidence. How could it be that all five female guests favored Fang Zhou? They must be teasing him.

But eventually, they stopped laughing.

The female guests were too happy around Fang Zhou, not even glancing at the others.

It felt like preparing hard for a race only to be told last minute that you’re just a supporting player.

Jealousy silenced the male guests, making them feel disheartened, even losing their appetite.

Why did the production team invite someone so handsome? If they wanted them to be supporting characters, they should have said so! I’m not coming back!

The live stream viewers were buzzing with excitement.

“No way, do all these female guests like Fang Zhou? Why else would they keep asking him to serve them?”

“They’re just playing around, right? How could it be? Fang Zhou might be the most handsome, but he has nothing else!”

“Exactly, we’re all adults. Looks are the least useful thing here. They probably just find Fang Zhou easygoing and fun to tease!”

“Ahhhh, I need to make a meme video of Fang Zhou serving food, titled ‘Princess, Please Eat!'”

By the end of the meal, Fang Zhou had collected several things.

First, the envious looks from the other male guests.

Second, the merciless teasing from the live stream audience.

Third, his tired legs from running back and forth without rest.

“Alright, Princess, please eat the spareribs,” Fang Zhou said, forcing a smile as he served the next plate.
