Chapter 7
Getting Scolded Early in the Morning?
The next morning, before dawn, the guests woke up one after another.
Last night, the production team had released the latest notice that breakfast would be served at seven in the morning. Moreover, there was a limited amount of food. First come, first served.
In order to eat a hot breakfast and not be hungry, they had no choice but to wake up early.
However, while everyone was still on the way to get breakfast, Meng Chuyuan had already arrived.
Seeing the other two groups of guests yawn and go out in their pajamas while Meng Chuyuan appeared fully dressed and full of energy, the audience was stunned.
[Damn, when did she come out of the adobe house?]
[Did you get up early to put on makeup? You don’t look like you just woke up at all.]
[What is she trying to do? Everyone didn’t get much sleep the entire night and just to stand out she makes everyone else look bad?]
[That’s not really your bareface, right? You scheming woman.]
[Other than showing off that she’s just a pretty face, she doesn’t have anything else to do.]
[Is it because you’re afraid of meeting people without your makeup that’s why you didn’t remove it?]
[I’m sorry, I’m a sucker for good-looking people. I love her even if she has makeup on.]
[Beauty +1. I was bewitched by her beauty yesterday, and it’s the same today.]
Meng Chuyuan had a problem. Whenever she entered a new environment, the quality of her sleep would decrease, making it difficult for her to sleep and easy for her to wake up.
She observed the sky through her room and guessed that it was almost dawn. Hence, she got up early and walked around the field path outside.
She happened to pass by the supply station arranged by the production team and thought that since she was here, she would come in and take a look.
What kind of breakfast was it that they all had to be woken up early?
Meng Chuyuan stepped into the house and walked towards the dining table. She reached out and lifted the lid one by one. There was porridge, steamed buns, boiled eggs, and sweet potatoes.
After looking at all the food on the table, Meng Chuyuan revealed an indescribable expression.
“…” Was there a need to snatch such breakfast?
[What’s with Sister Meng’s expression? Does she look down on this simple breakfast?]
[Are you disappointed because you didn’t see any delicacies?]
[This is the production team’s fault. How can the empty vase eat these things?]
[Sister Meng must be looking for water. Flowers can’t live without water, can they?]
[Hurry up and kowtow to Sister Vase and admit your mistake. What breakfast did you prepare?]
[I think having breakfast like this in the countryside is already very sumptuous.]
The breakfast provided by the production team could be mixed and matched freely, but the production team had only prepared two to three servings. How the food was going to be distributed depended on the decision of the three groups of guests.
Meng Chuyuan did not touch anything on the table. After looking at it, she silently closed the lid.
Immediately after, Liao Jiake and Qi Zhen appeared.
The two of them happened to bump into each other on the way here, so they came over together. The two of them thought that they were the first to go out to get breakfast, but they did not expect to see Meng Chuyuan as soon as they entered the house.
When the three of them met, the air seemed to freeze.
Especially when they saw Meng Chuyuan wearing a light blue denim jacket, black pants, and white shoes. She looked refreshed from the inside out, while they were disheveled and wearing pajamas.
There was such a huge difference between the two parties that it was hard to ignore.
After a while, Liao Jiake smiled and broke the silence gently. “Morning, are you here to get breakfast too?”
Meng Chuyuan replied softly, “I’m just looking around.”
She was indeed just looking around casually and did not seem to be interested in the breakfast prepared by the production team.
However, out of courtesy, Qi Zhen asked, “Sister Meng, aren’t you going to choose some food?”
After all, Meng Chuyuan was the first to enter. Everything was on a first come first serve basis. If she was not done choosing her food, he and Liao Jiake would not dare to move.
Meng Chuyuan stepped back to make room for them. She raised her eyebrows and gestured. “You can choose.”
[Forgive me for not understanding Meng’s actions…]
[I’m afraid it’s not to gain favor.]
[This woman is so aloof. Why is she treating Ke Ke and Qi Zhen like this? Does she think she’s better than everyone else?]
[Help! Did she wake up so early just to pretend to be a good person?]
[This isn’t acting, right? She is probably just being herself. After all, her expression changed after seeing the food just now. It’s obvious that she doesn’t want it anymore.]
Qi Zhen and Liao Jiake looked at each other. They seemingly couldn’t make up their minds. After hesitating for a while, Qi Zhen slowly said, “Then Sister Ke Ke and I will take you up on your offer.”
Meng Chuyuan said, “No problem.”
Qi Zhen stepped forward and opened the four lids. His expression changed slightly. He was stunned for a moment before looking at Liao Jiake for help.
It was as if he was saying, “How should we split this food?”
The bowl of porridge could only serve four small bowls. There were three eggs and three steamed buns each. There were also two fist-sized sweet potatoes.
Liao Jiake took a glance. There was about five seconds of silence in between. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, Liao Jiake said, “I want a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Zhen looked up at her and asked in astonishment, “Sister Ke Ke, is this enough for you?”
Liao Jiake scooped a bowl of porridge and replied with a smile, “It’s enough. Yan Yan has a small appetite. You, on the other hand, are still growing. You have to eat more.”
Seeing that there was not enough for breakfast, Liao Jiake did not plan to eat it. If not for the fact that she was afraid that her sister would go hungry, she might not even want the steamed bun.
Qi Zhen didn’t think much of it. He, who controlled his diet every day, felt that it was fine to eat less. He was mainly worried that his sister didn’t have enough to eat.
He scooped two bowls of porridge, then took a sweet potato and an egg.
However, in the end, Qi Zhen placed the egg in Liao Jiake’s food box and said, “Sister Ke Ke, this egg is on me. It’s for you.”
Qi Zhen probably knew that she was collecting eggs for her sister, so he gave his eggs to Liao Jiake.
“No, I can’t take this egg.”
When Qi Zhen saw that she was about to pass the egg to him, he subconsciously avoided it.
“Sister Ke Ke, just take it.”
[Brother Qi Zhen is too nice.]
[I envy Qi Yan for having such a sensible younger brother.]
[Qi Zhen is really cultured. His attention to detail can’t fool people.]
[He’s really thinking for others. May I ask if I can have such an outstanding man?]
[Wuwuwu, I’ve decided. I’ll only chase after Qi Zhen if I chase after celebrities.]
Meng Chuyuan felt that it was really boring to watch the two of them push the egg around.
The corners of Meng Chuyuan’s mouth twitched. She could not help but remind them, “Why are you giving way? Isn’t there more on the table?”
She walked over and picked up the remaining two eggs on the table, placing them into their food boxes.
Before they could react, Meng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows and gestured, “Go back. Otherwise, it will be cold.”
Qi Zhen: “…”
Liao Jiake: “…”
Meng Chuyuan’s sudden action really confused the two of them.
[Why is she pretending to be a good person now?]
[But! Sister Meng just said what I wanted to say.]
[F*ck, Sister Meng is simply my mouth substitute.]
[It’s not a big deal to get an extra egg, right? Anyway, there are still steamed buns and sweet potatoes. It’s enough for Lu Jinsen and the rest.]
[I can only say that Qi Zhen and Ke Ke are both kind people. They are both giving in to each other.]
[It’s done. I’ll stand on Sister Meng’s side this time, hahaha.]
