Chapter 871: Chapter 871: Shi Yaoguang Took a Fancy to Him!

Everyone looked at the Little Monk with the gaze one would give to a warrior.

The Little Monk gave a simple, honest smile.

"I have no other intentions, just hoping the lady benefactor can take me in for a while."

Qiao Yiyi scoffed coldly, "You still say you have no other intentions? You’ve already made it into her house!"

Before Qiao Yiyi said this, the Little Monk truly had no other thoughts.

But after he said that, the Little Monk thought for a moment and felt an inappropriate excitement.

The bullet comments immediately filled with mockery.

"Who said earlier that you can’t win love through taste buds? Step up and take the hit!"

"Hahahahaha... Epic face slap!"

"Little Monk is badass, he’s so daring, hahaha..."

Impressive, my Little Monk.

The Little Monk didn’t know he had become the netizens’ mascot for getting face-slapped. After thinking about it, he found Qiao Yiyi’s suggestion very good.

So he changed his tune on the spot.

"Lady benefactor, I think this benefactor’s suggestion is very good."

Qiao Yiyi: "???"

Qiao Yiyi: "!!!"

"No, bro, you say your own thing, why drag me into it? I’m innocent!"

Qiao Yiyi felt extremely wronged.

The Little Monk glanced at him and said righteously, "Benefactor, please don’t joke. Without your reminder, I wouldn’t have thought of this."

Then he added, looking very proper, "Still, I must thank the benefactor for the guidance."

Qiao Yiyi: "..."

Dammit, he thought this monk...

Ugh!

This bald guy!

He thought this bald guy was here just to mess with him!

Upon thinking this, his face darkened.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Quan Jinbei’s dark expression, and a sense of doom filled his heart.

He looked at the Little Monk with suspicion.

"You bald guy, how could you do this? Aren’t you framing me on purpose?"

As he said this, he sniffled, "Tell me, were you sent by my enemy to mess with me?"

The Little Monk looked innocent, "Benefactor, why would you think that? I am pure and have never engaged in any private deals."

Seeing his aggrieved expression, someone who didn’t know better might think Qiao Yiyi had wronged him.

But in reality, it was Qiao Yiyi who got dragged down by him.

Qiao Yiyi felt extremely exhausted.

This damned bald guy, he was definitely doing it on purpose!

As he thought of this, he looked at the monk with murderous intent.

However, the Little Monk wasn’t afraid of him at all.

Instead, he gave him a comforting look.

"Benefactor, be humble and patient."

Then, he recited a Buddhist mantra, "Amitabha."

Qiao Yiyi: "..."

Damn it.

Damn monk, lousy bald guy!

But he couldn’t swear out loud.

The monk had no shame, but he did!

Besides, they were still filming.

If he really cursed out the monk on the spot, things would not end well.

He knew right from wrong.

Qiao Yiyi could only suppress his urge to curse and coldly snorted, "Little Master, you sure are eloquent, pretending to be innocent while framing me."

"But I advise you to give up early!"

He used a flattering tone to speak to Shi Yaoguang, "Miss Shi, surely you wouldn’t be interested in a monk who’s impure at heart, would you?"

"For a man to pretend to be a monk..."

"If he was just a monk, fine, but he’s even here to scrounge for food and drink! We shouldn’t indulge such shameless behavior!"

He spoke while casting a hopeful glance at Shi Yaoguang, seeking her support, "Miss Shi, don’t you agree with me?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded.

Qiao Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Little Monk with more determination.

And...

Contempt!

Hmph, defeated opponent.

Still trying to outsmart him?

Dream on!

While the Little Monk didn’t know what Qiao Yiyi was thinking, he knew that his goal was going to fail, and he might miss out on delicious food.

For the sake of food, the monk would give up his dignity!

So, he spoke up again, "I don’t need the lady benefactor to provide lodging, just remember me when you cook and save me some food."

Now, it wasn’t Qiao Yiyi but Quan Feifei who rolled her eyes, "You want her to save you some food?"

"She isn’t short on meal money. Do you think she’ll cook every day?"

The Little Monk suddenly realized.

Indeed.

Shi Yaoguang wasn’t short on money.

How could she cook personally for him?

This time, she only cooked because it was for the show, right?

Normally, if she wanted to eat something, someone would make it for her.

Thinking this, the Little Monk felt a bit dejected.

Could it be that his dream of freeloading could only end here?

No!

The Little Monk thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"Lady benefactor!"

Then he corrected himself, "No, Miss Shi."

His attitude suddenly turned fawning, even more than Qiao Yiyi’s, "For a bit of food, I’ve decided to return to lay life."

"Whatever Miss Shi needs me to do, I’ll do it with no complaints."

"The only request is that Miss Shi remembers to save me some food."

The Little Monk’s request was humble.

But what choice did he have?

He didn’t want to be humble either.

But if he wasn’t humble, could he get food?

If he wasn’t humble, he wouldn’t get any food!

Even though the Little Monk was biting a metaphorical handkerchief in his mind, his face maintained a strong expression.

He showed his attitude; for a bit of food, he would do anything.

If Shi Yaoguang ignored him now, he was truly hopeless.

Thankfully, heaven didn’t abandon him.

"You said it yourself." Shi Yaoguang’s tone was calm, but the Little Monk was incredibly excited.

Shi Yaoguang had accepted him!

Tears filled his eyes!

His meal ticket was secured!

While some were happy, others were worried.

The Little Monk was elated, but Qiao Yiyi was restless.

His mind was full of doubts, unsure why Miss Shi suddenly agreed to the Little Monk.

He knew the monk was unreliable.

This phony monk, what could he help with?

Taking him in would be a burden.

Miss Shi must have been fooled by his harmless appearance.

No way.

He had to let Miss Shi know that this guy was a harmful fraud.

"Miss Shi, don’t be fooled by him! This fake monk clearly just wants to freeload, probably thinks you’re easy to trick..."

He paused, changing his tone, "Miss Shi, no offense, I just think a professional scammer can’t do anything good, better you feed me than him."

Qiao Yiyi had just finished speaking when he felt a chilling gaze on the back of his neck, looking up to meet Quan Jinbei’s scrutinizing eyes.
