The Love Reality Show's Big Boss and Little Sweetie - Chapter 11
After the broadcast ended in the evening, Mu Chi wanted to sneak out to get an ice cream, but just as he opened the double doors of the large refrigerator in the kitchen and was about to choose his favorite flavor, the lights in the living room suddenly turned on.
“What are you doing?” Qi Liao came down the stairs and looked toward the kitchen with a slightly stern expression.
Mu Chi was startled and quickly came up with an excuse: “I was just looking, planning to choose tomorrow’s ice cream.”
“Have you already chosen it?”
“Not yet.” Mu Chi looked at the ice cream reluctantly, picking and choosing, “I want to eat all of them.”
Qi Liao said ruthlessly, “You can only choose one per day.”
“What if the one I want is gone?”
“Go buy another one.”
“I only have one yuan and six jiao(1.60 yuan).” Mu Chi hadn’t taken any money from Hao Wenrou or Xu Wuxing.
“I’ll buy it.”
“Okay then.” Mu Chi chose a vanilla ice cream, “I’ll eat this one tomorrow.”
“Hmm. Put it away and go to sleep.”
Mu Chi suggested, “How about I take a bite to mark it?”
“…No.”
“Really no?”
Qi Liao glared at him with a cold expression.
Mu Chi sulkily closed the refrigerator door and sulkily went upstairs. Qi Liao saw his slow pace and didn’t rush him, only saying, “There are still three hours and fifteen minutes until tomorrow. Can’t you wait that long?”
Mu Chi thought about it and realized he was right. He smiled, turned back to Qi Liao, and said, “Goodnight,” then went back to take a shower, lie in bed, and play with his phone to kill time. Before twenty minutes had passed, he was already sound asleep.
Then he was woken up by Xiao Wang’s artificial ringtone, groggily getting up to wash his face, brush his teeth, and put on makeup.
“My ice cream…” Mu Chi muttered.
Zhu Yinhang hadn’t come last night, and now he was lecturing endlessly: “Character, character! The cool, aloof god character can’t collapse!”
“You’ve said it a thousand times.”
“If you’d remembered, I wouldn’t have to keep saying it.”
“Your words are dry. You must not be in a relationship, right?”
Zhu Yinhang: “…” What’s wrong with being single? Singles are also protected by law!
Zhu Yinhang was so angry his cheeks trembled, “At least I’ve experienced it.”
“Experience what?” Mu Chi paused for three seconds before suddenly realizing, “I don’t want to know about that!”
“Dating and breaking up is normal. Even if you like someone here, you shouldn’t take it seriously.”
Mu Chi thought to himself, Qi Liao is different. Once you start dating him, you won’t break up.
During breakfast, Yingxuan received a call. “Yes, it’s right there. We’ll be there later.”
After hanging up, he said, “The workers building the chicken coop have arrived.”
Qi Liao: “Why hire someone for such a small matter?”
“…”
【As expected of a great demon, a man who can catch a wild boar with his bare hands】
【Even the Best Actor feels embarrassed】
【Who can blame them when none of the five of them could build a chicken coop yesterday?】
Mu Chi said, “Let the professionals do it; they’re more professional.”
After eating, the group didn’t even wash the dishes before heading to the vegetable garden. Qi Liao picked up the chickens that had been hungry all night and let them flutter around in the sack, making clucking and crowing sounds.
At the edge of the vegetable garden, four or five workers were pulling up iron mesh, forming a circle, and securing it with bamboo poles. Adding an iron mesh door would complete the chicken coop.
Mu Chi didn’t see any other tools and asked, “Where will the chickens live?”
The workers replied, “What do chickens need for shelter? Living under the open sky and absorbing the essence of the sun and moon is best.”
Mu Chi: “…If my family hadn’t raised chickens before, I would have believed your nonsense. On a hot day like this, chickens will die if they are exposed to the sun for too long.”
The workers avoided his gaze and said, “Is that so? Ha ha.”
Ying Xuan frowned and asked, “What’s going on? Aren’t you professionals?”
The workers had no choice but to admit, “We’re not professionals at building chicken coops, we’re professionals at selling wire mesh.”
Everyone present was speechless. It turned out they’d hired a bunch of unprofessional people after all. Qi Liao was so angry that he laughed, “Leave the iron mesh and you can go.”
Since they’d already been paid, the workers bolted.
【………………The actor is embarrassed again, right?】
【Mu Chi’s family used to raise chickens?】
[Looks like the big devil will have to build the chicken coop himself]
【Does anyone even remember this is a dating show?】
Forget about the romance for now. Under Qi Liao’s guidance, the group worked hard for another half-day and finally managed to build a simple chicken coop. The chicken coop was made of wooden planks, even a two-story little villa.
Mu Chi couldn’t help but marvel at how Qi Liao’s carpentry skills were almost professional-level.
【How many more surprises does the Big Boss have that I don’t know about?】
【Qi Liao is so awesome!】
【Apart from the fact that the Great Devil has a bad temper, there is really no other flaws】
After putting the chickens inside and feeding them grains, everyone finally finished this “big thing,” and they would finally have eggs to eat every day.
On the way back, Mu Chi pretended to walk casually beside Qi Liao, covering his mouth and whispering, “Ge, you’re so amazing.”
Qi Liao happened to step on a leaf, his body stiffened, and he slipped for the first time. Mu Chi grabbed him, but realized too late that Qi Liao wouldn’t fall, so he quickly let go.
Mu Chi walked away with a cold expression.
Qi Liao felt inexplicably annoyed: “Thanks.”
Mu Chi’s heart skipped a beat: “It was no trouble at all.”
Qi Liao: “I’ve helped you a lot too. Why haven’t you said thank you once?”
Mu Chi: “…”
Seeing the two of them getting on edge again, Hao Wenrou was about to mediate when Mu Chi said:
“Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Is that enough?”
Qi Liao’s annoyance vanished instantly: “That’s enough.”
【Does it seem like flirting? It must be my imagination!】
【The big devil is still as wicked as ever】
【There are so many “thank you” effects that I can’t even recognize the character anymore】
【Mu Chi actually said so many thank yous in a serious manner, which was inexplicably funny】
By the time they returned to the villa, it was already past noon. Qi Liao said, “How about making some braised green beans and noodles?”
At this point, it was fine to just make something simple, and no one objected. Ying Xuan said he would prepare two cold dishes.
The stove was lit in the kitchen, but Mu Chi was still thinking about his ice cream. But how could the cool, aloof god show enthusiasm for food? He looked around and chose his target, Xu Wuxing: “Do you want some ice cream?”
Xu Wuxing was flattered and nodded with a red face, “Yes, I do.”
“Go get it yourself.”
“…” Xu Wuxing went to get the ice cream, confused, but the idiot didn’t bring one for Mu Chi!
Mu Chi could only try again and ask Hao Wenrou, “Do you want some ice cream?”
Hao Wenrou: “Eating ice cream isn’t good for your health, so I won’t.”
Mu Chi: “Actually, being gay isn’t good for your health either.”
Hao Wenrou’s expression changed, thinking Mu Chi was hinting at him. He blushed and went to get the ice cream, “Everyone has to die someday. Eating ice cream won’t kill me.”
He still didn’t bring Mu Chi an ice cream.
Mu Chi: “Why are you guys only thinking about yourselves? What about mine?”
Seeing them enjoying their ice cream, Lucas went to get one for himself, but of course he didn’t bring one for Mu Chi.
Mu Chi didn’t need to eat ice cream because he was already shivering from the cold.
[…three idiots]
[Even from outside the screen, I could hear the male god’s hint!]
【If you want to eat, just go get it. Why are you beating around the bush? He’s not a mind reader.】
【This is a dating show, essentially a dating experiment, and whether they can be in tune with each other is part of the experiment.】
Just as Mu Chi decided to go get the ice cream himself, he saw Qi Liao come out of the kitchen holding an ice cream. From the color of the wrapper, it was the one he had chosen last night.
Mu Chi’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Qi Liao.
Qi Liao exchanged a glance with him, then tossed the ice cream over, and Mu Chi caught it.
“He’s the only one without any. How dare you?” Qi Liao dropped that line and returned to the kitchen to continue making the stir-fried noodles.
Hao Wenrou, Xu Wuxing, Lucas: “…………”
Even the cool, aloof heartthrob eats ice cream? This was completely beyond their comprehension.
It was their own fault for not watching the recorded broadcast last night; otherwise, they would have noticed that Mu Chi had already eaten ice cream in Qi Liao’s car—and it was Qi Liao who had bought it for him.
