After realising that he had wasted the entire morning, Mu Zhengqing lost all motivation to cook.
On the other hand, Lu Yiwei was willing to cook, but Mu Zhengqing stopped him.
Washing vegetables, chopping, stir-frying...
The question now was whether their score for today's task could be positive.
The only consolation was that the scores of the other teams weren't too high, so they still had hope of catching up.
In the end, they ordered takeout.
However, Mu Zhengqing ate very little. Now, with each dish he ate, he compared it to what Lu Yiwei had cooked, resulting in less and less appetite.
Had Lu Yiwei spoiled his taste buds like this after just a few meals?
After dinner, the two of them returned to their bedroom for a nap.
Once in the bedroom, Lu Yiwei called Liang Qi.
Even though he could pretend not to have seen the information from the wealthy father, he still didn't have the courage to ignore the call from the wealthy father.
However, as soon as he answered the call, without waiting for Lu Yiwei to speak, he started complaining.
He said that now netizens are criticising him and the show, and that he was forced to do what he did.
Lu Yiwei had no patience to listen to Liang Qi’s rambling. After getting the answer he wanted, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
He understood that if he wanted to win today, the key was still with the netizens.
Soon, he had an idea.
Mu Zhengqing came out of the bedroom and saw Lu Yiwei talking to the camera.
As he walked closer, he realised that Lu Yiwei was actually answering questions from the netizens.
“Yes, Mu Zhengqing is very handsome, but no matter how handsome he is, you can’t have him. He is someone you can’t get.”
“Mu Zhengqing not only sings well, but also dances exceptionally well.”
“The least noticeable thing about Mu Zhengqing is his appearance. He is ambitious and works hard…”
Mu Zhengqingalmost wanted to go up and cover Lu Yiwei’s mouth.
Anyone who didn’t know better would think Lu Yiwei was his brainless fan.
However, Lu Yiwei didn’t let him feel awkward for too long. After seeing him come over, he put the phone aside.
This time, Mu Zhengqing didn’t “force” Lu Yiwei to order him around but instead sat down next to him.
He understood that he couldn’t “cheat” like he did in the morning, otherwise, it would just be a waste of time.
However, he hadn’t thought of a good solution yet.
He looked at Lu Yiwei, wanting to ask for his opinion.
Receiving his questioning gaze, Lu Yiwei glanced at the phone beside him and said, “I want to interact with the netizens a bit. Can you help me read the comments?”
“I can, but we still have tasks to do today. How about you interact with the netizens another day?” Mu Zhengqing immediately understood Lu Yiwei’s intention and pretended to be in a difficult position.
“That’s true, then forget it.” Lu Yiwei said with a regretful expression.
After finishing the scene, Mu Zhengqing and Lu Yiwei started watching TV.
Twenty minutes later, Mu Zhengqing’s phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Liang Qi. He hoped Mu Zhengqing could help Lu Yiwei read the comments.
To make it worth his while, Lu Yiwei would add 0.1 points for each question he answered from the netizens.
Upon hearing about the 0.1 points, Mu Zhengqing “accidentally” hung up the phone.
After hanging up, he “accidentally” put his phone on silent.
Then he casually put the phone aside and continued watching TV.
Soon after, Lu Yiwei’s phone started ringing.
The two of them acted as if they were deaf, focusing intently on the TV commercials.
The phone rang for over twenty minutes before it finally stopped. Just as it stopped, there was a knock on the door.
This time, the two of them acted as if they had regained their hearing and got up to open the door.
“0.2 points,” Liang Qi quickly said, as soon as Lu Yiwei opened the door.
Lu Yiwei, who had just opened the door, acted as if he didn’t see Liang Qi and proceeded to close the door.
“0.5 points, no more than that.” Liang Qi’s voice came from outside the door.
“1 point.” Lu Yiwei opened the door and said to Liang Qi.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei was about to close the door again, Liang Qi quickly agreed.
Today, it was really a case of winning because of the netizens and losing because of the netizens. However, you have your tricks and I have my ways.
“Maybe we should just forget it. Don’t want to be accused of cheating again,” Mu Zhengqing said from behind Lu Yiwei.
If the show had told him from the beginning that it wasn’t allowed, he wouldn’t have had any complaints. But now that half the time had passed and they were saying he was cheating, he had an opinion about it.
He had worked hard and used his brain to earn those points, and now they were just wiping them out. He would hold a grudge for that.
“I guarantee you as the director that for every question you answer from the netizens, you will get one point,” Liang Qi said confidently.
“Alright then.”
Having received a satisfactory result, Mu Zhengqing reluctantly agreed.
After Liang Qi left, Mu Zhengqing went into the live broadcast room, planning to read the comments for Lu Yiwei .
But he frowned and looked at it for a long time, unable to read a single word out loud.
“What’s wrong?” seeing Mu Zhengqing’s troubled expression, Lu Yiwei asked in confusion.
“See for yourself,” Mu Zhengqing handed the phone to Lu Yiwei.
Seeing the screen full of “Husband, I love you”, Lu Yiwei also fell silent.
Didn’t they not have any girlfriend fans?
Fan: Iron-clad fans, fleeting roles, we are happy.
As for the term “husband”, he certainly wanted Mu Zhengqing to call him that, but he hoped Mu Zhengqing would call him that only when they were alone, not in the live broadcast room.
Although he knew Mu Zhengqing was calling him, what if others also responded?
After about three minutes, Mu Zhengqing finally found other content among the dense comments.
First question:
Mu Zhengqing: “Emperor Lu, what are your upcoming plans?”
Lu Yiwei: “Participating in variety show recordings.”
Mu Zhengqing continued to ask: “Netizens are probably more concerned about your plans after this variety show?” See, he is still very professional, asking what the netizens want to know.
Lu Yiwei: “No other plans, everything will be decided after this variety show.”
Lu Yiwei’s answer not only confused the netizens in the live broadcast room, but also left Mu Zhengqing a bit puzzled.
No other plans? As one of the most popular and talented actors at the moment, he only has one variety show he is participating in. Anyone who didn’t know better might think he was planning to retire after this show.
Facing Mu Zhengqing’s confused look, Lu Yiwei didn’t explain but signalled him to continue.
Second question:
Mu Zhengqing: “Do you call each other by your names in private as well?”
Mu Zhengqing only realised what he had said after reading it out loud. He was just looking for normal questions and didn’t expect this one to be about the two of them.
Lu Yiwei: “In private, we also call each other by our names.”
Just as Mu Zhengqing was about to read the next question, Lu Yiwei continued: “A name consists of a surname and a given name. The surname is the identity given to us by our parents, and the given name is the wish they have for us. So, I believe that calling someone by their full name shows that they are very important to you.”
Lu Yiwei’s inner thoughts: “I’m being stubborn, I’m being unreasonable, I’m talking nonsense.”
Third question:
Mu Zhengqing : “Emperor Lu, why did you join this variety show?”
Mu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. It wasn’t easy. He had been searching for a long time and finally found a relatively normal question.
He was also curious about how Lu Yiwei would answer this question.
Would it be the same as before - giving an answer that made people envious, jealous, and resentful, or would he talk nonsense like the last question?
Lu Yiwei: “Because of one person.”
