Chapter 31: I’ll Help You

[With these two great gods on board, this variety show is really upping the ante!]

[It's so amazing! The lineup is so strong!]

[Ah ah ah! Hurry up and air it! I'm itching with anticipation!]

[Is the variety show's post - production editor still hiring? I can go for an interview!]

[I'm so impatient. Why is the recording just starting today! How about the director making the next episode a live broadcast?]

[I can't wait for another month to see the first episode.]

[Here I come for my Brother Zhou and God Chi! Who can relate? I'm really crazy about them. I never thought I'd see them both on a parent - child variety show one day.]

[And Brother Zhou is on the same team as Sister Ran. The director is really good at grouping. He's even better at shipping than I am.]

[It's a pity that God Chi is on the same team as Song Jinhe. Alas, it would be more interesting if he were on the same team as Shuangshuang.]

[Exactly. I don't understand where Song Jinhe came from. Being on the same team as God Chi is really a lucky break for her.]

[Ah ah ah! I'm so envious, jealous, and hateful! A money - backed cast member like her actually gets to be on the same team as God Chi. I'm about to scream!]

On this side, several teams successfully arrived at the supermarket and started to pick out ingredients.

They were going to record in Yicheng for a full two days, so they needed to stock up on as many ingredients as possible.

If they lost the game tomorrow, they should at least not starve to death with today's ingredients.

Song Jinhe picked up a small bag of rice and flour, spending a hundred points.

These staple foods should definitely be enough for them.

Chi Yan was in charge of pushing the shopping cart and followed behind Song Jinhe, listening to her arrangements and commands.

Chi Yunqi was sitting in the baby seat of the shopping cart. He looked at his father for a while and then at his mother.

When Chi Yunqi's eyes met Chi Yan's, Chi Yunqi smiled happily at him.

Chi Yan's lips also curled slightly. He reached out and pinched his little cheek, his eyes full of doting.

But neither of them expected that at this moment, Song Jinhe suddenly turned around.

"Teacher Chi, shall we buy this small assembled seasoning package?"

The moment Song Jinhe turned her head, Chi Yan quickly retracted his hand, and his facial expression and the look in his eyes quickly returned to normal.

But Song Jinhe still caught a glimpse of that moment.

Huh? Did she just missee? Why did it seem like she saw Teacher Chi reaching out to her son?

Chi Yan immediately diverted her attention: "I think it's good. The show is only recorded for two days. These small bottles are just enough and not too wasteful."

Song Jinhe smiled: "Okay."

The smile on her lips was extremely bright, and her eyes were as sweet as honey. This should be the happiest day of her life since her rebirth.

Even now, she still felt like she was in a dream. She was actually partnering with the male god she had a crush on five years ago on the same variety show.

She thought they had missed each other and would never have any connection in this lifetime.

And the moment she turned around, both Chi Yan and Chi Yunqi let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she didn't think too much. If he had retracted his hand one second later, it would have been exposed.

The father - son duo looked at each other, their eyes filled with a bit of relief.

When each group returned to the apartment after buying the ingredients, the variety show crew had already installed cameras in various places and rooms in the apartment.

There were also several follow - up cameras in the living room to record the specific details.

The rooms were also allocated in the order of the three groups. The rooms all had similar double - room configurations.

When the three of them came back, Chi Yan was carrying big and small bags, while Song Jinhe was only responsible for holding little Yunqi's hand.

Actually, she also wanted to help carry things, but Chi Yan had taken care of all these tasks.

The three of them really looked like a family of three.

Xie Yiran and Zhou Ke saw them coming back and immediately stepped forward to help carry the things.

Xie Yiran: "Wow, you bought so many things."

"Yeah, since the recording will last for two days, we thought we'd buy more ingredients."

Xie Yiran immediately gave Song Jinhe a thumbs - up: "Great!"

In the living room, there were only the three members of Xie Yiran's team. There was no sign of Ye Shuang's group.

The follow - up camera showed that they had exchanged all their hundred points for instant noodles and ready - to - eat food at the supermarket.

They had no intention of cooking. Moreover, as soon as they came back, they directly hid in their room.

It was as if they were deliberately avoiding the other two teams and didn't want to talk to them.

Zhou Ke and Chi Yan successively put the ingredients bought by the two teams into the refrigerator.

Zhou Ke said with a polite smile on his face:

"Does anyone here know how to cook?"

Xie Yiran shook her head somewhat sheepishly. For so many years, she had never even entered the kitchen.

There was a nanny at home, so she really didn't need to cook.

"Um, I should clarify first. I'm not very good at it."

Zhou Ke also spread his hands and shook his head helplessly: "I'm really sorry. I'm not very good at it either."

This was Song Jinhe's moment to shine.

Although her cooking skills were not extremely advanced, she could easily handle some simple dishes.

Moreover, under the guidance of a five - star chef at home, her cooking skills had improved rapidly.

She immediately raised her hand high, with a smile in her bright peach - blossom eyes: "I can! I can!"

"Teacher Zhou, Teacher Xie, you can just rest in the living room. Leave the cooking to me!"

There was a hint of pride on Song Jinhe's face. Zhou Ke and Xie Yiran quickly said:

"This is so embarrassing. How about we be your assistants?"

"We can't just sit back and enjoy the food."

Song Jinhe quickly waved her hand: "Oh no no. You guys bought the ribs, after all."

"It's okay. Teacher Zhou and Teacher Xie, just consider me your friend."

"Okay. Thank you so much for your trouble."

While they were talking, Chi Yan had already taken off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and walked into the kitchen with a watermelon in his hand.

"Come on. I'll be your assistant."

Song Jinhe was overjoyed and immediately chased after Chi Yan: "Teacher Chi, really no need!"

But once Chi Yan made a decision, no one could persuade him.

So, Yunqi stayed in the living room and played with Mingbao. Xie Yiran and Zhou Ke sat on the sofa chatting.

Song Jinhe and Chi Yan were busy in the kitchen preparing lunch for six people.

"Tell me if you need any ingredients."

Chi Yan stood by the sink, mainly responsible for washing and chopping vegetables.

Song Jinhe was blanching the ribs on this side, thinking about the dishes she was a bit better at.

"Help me wash three tomatoes, two potatoes, and three green peppers."

"Okay."

Song Jinhe turned to talk to him and didn't notice at all that her hand accidentally touched the handle of the iron pan.

Song Jinhe gasped in pain: "Ouch!"

Chi Yan immediately frowned and walked towards her: "What's going on?"

"I accidentally burned myself just now. It's okay."

Song Jinhe forced a smile while trying to hide her wound behind her back.

Chi Yan directly pulled her hand over. Taking a closer look, a small part of her index finger was already red from the burn.

The man frowned tightly and said in a domineering and forceful tone: "Come here and rinse it under water."

"Teacher Chi, it's not that serious. Really no need."

Chi Yan didn't care what Song Jinhe said. He directly grabbed her hand and walked towards the sink.

Then he tightly held Song Jinhe's finger and rinsed it under the faucet.

The posture and atmosphere between the two gradually became ambiguous.

Chi Yan didn't know when he had stood behind Song Jinhe. He was embracing her from behind like this.

His big, well - defined hand held her slender and fair finger.

The only sound in the air was the gurgling of the faucet.
