Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Turns Out to Be a Fellow Traveler

Qiao Yiyi hurriedly defended himself, "Quan-ge, don’t misunderstand, I don’t mean to freeload."

Little Monk immediately showed a look of realization, "I see, we’re kindred spirits!"

Qiao Yiyi: "!!!"

"I am not!"

"I didn’t!"

"Don’t talk nonsense!"

He spoke awkwardly, "My intentions are pure, totally different from you, you stinky monk!"

Little Monk choked up, "How is it any different? Isn’t it just craving for food? There’s nothing shameful about it, even if you admitted it, no one would say anything. Why do you stubbornly refuse to admit it?"

Facing his "Why are you so cowardly? What’s so bad about admitting such a small matter" look, Qiao Yiyi was speechless.

He had every reason to suspect that he was being duped by this stinky monk.

There’s a tactic known as deflection.

This stinky monk is likely using that."

"Quan-ge, Quan-ge, you must believe me, I absolutely did not mean that!" Qiao Yiyi felt he had seen through Little Monk’s trick and decided to expose him immediately.

"Stinky monk, I’m telling you, your scheme won’t succeed! As long as I’m here, you can forget about hanging around Shi Yaoguang!"

Little Monk clicked his tongue, "Where I choose to hang around has nothing to do with you. Unless..."

He dragged out his tone, pondering, "You’ve taken a liking to Miss Shi too?"

Qiao Yiyi snorted coldly, "Don’t think you can sow discord with your words. I’m telling you, it won’t work!"

"When did I sow discord?"

Little Monk refused to admit he was sowing discord.

Not only did he not admit it, but he also firmly stated, "I’m innocent, don’t pin this on me."

"Haha." Qiao Yiyi snorted, "Do you think I will believe you? I’m telling you, I won’t!"

"I won’t be easily fooled by you!"

He said, looking to Quan Jinbei for help, "Quan-ge, you believe me, right?"

He added with a forced laugh, "Bei-ge, as your best little brother, you wouldn’t doubt me, right?"

Quan Jinbei remained silent.

He didn’t seem to acknowledge Qiao Yiyi as a little brother.

Naturally, he didn’t agree with Qiao Yiyi’s words.

Regardless, Qiao Yiyi continued on his own, "Anyway, I’m saying it, as long as I’m here, this stinky bald monk can forget about doing anything to Shi Yaoguang!"

Little Monk was speechless, "I really don’t intend to do anything to her, I’m just simply conquered by Miss Shi’s culinary skills."

"Ah, ah! You still say you don’t intend anything! You’ve already been conquered by Shi Yaoguang! You’ve been conquered, and now you say it’s nothing. Then tell me, what qualifies as something?"

Qiao Yiyi pointed at Little Monk, his finger starting to tremble.

Little Monk: "..."

He could only look to Shi Yaoguang for help, "Miss Shi, you should already understand my intentions. Would you be willing to take me in?"

He looked somewhat pitiful.

Shi Yaoguang pondered for a moment, then asked, "You’re willing to do anything if I take you in?"

"Of course!" Little Monk agreed instantly, "As long as Miss Shi satisfies my cravings, whatever you want me to do, I won’t refuse."

"Even if..." He bit his lip, hesitating, "Even if Miss Shi wants me to sell my body, I’m willing."

Saying this, he threw a shy wink.

Shi Yaoguang shook her arm, feeling helpless, "I’m not interested in you, no need to offer yourself."

Little Monk seemed somewhat regretful upon hearing this.

Qiao Yiyi couldn’t help but say, "You regret it! You actually regret it! You stinky monk, are you trying to use the excuse of tasting her cooking to get close to Shi Yaoguang? You’re really a scheming old baldy!"

Little Monk righteously explained, "Little Monk..."

"Little Monk, my foot! You’re like an old cucumber painted green, with no self-awareness!"

Qiao Yiyi said, looking towards Shi Yaoguang, "Shi Yaoguang, don’t be deceived by his innocent looks. He must be a scheming guy! Maybe he’s deliberately trying to infiltrate the enemy!"

Shi Yaoguang looked at the agitated Qiao Yiyi and shook her head, "I won’t be fooled by him."

"Oh." Qiao Yiyi responded, no longer talking.

Little Monk couldn’t help but look sideways.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yiyi was so easily persuaded.

In fact, Qiao Yiyi wasn’t that easy to deal with.

But he also understood that Shi Yaoguang was not an ordinary person.

If Little Monk had any issues, Shi Yaoguang would surely see through it.

She wouldn’t need his hints.

Unless Shi Yaoguang was charmed by Little Monk’s looks, seduced by him.

However, he instinctively ruled out that possibility.

With Quan Jinbei around, which man could still seduce Shi Yaoguang with his face?

Little Monk originally wanted to engage Qiao Yiyi in another verbal duel, but the latter didn’t take the bait.

But this was good too, he managed to stay around Shi Yaoguang.

Hmm~

Good days of freeloading are coming!

However.

He didn’t know that Shi Yaoguang wasn’t one to make a loss deal.

Shi Yaoguang was willing to take him in, not because she pitied him, nor because he was attractive.

He simply had utilitarian value.

Shi Yaoguang planned to personally direct a movie, not only to compete with Quan Feifei for the Best Actress award but also because a movie requires a male lead.

Shi Yaoguang thought that Little Monk’s image fit the male lead in her envisioned script very well.

Plus, Little Monk’s foodie nature seemed easy to manipulate.

Well.

Even if Little Monk wasn’t easy to manipulate, she wouldn’t give up easily.

Overall.

She absolutely wouldn’t let herself suffer a loss.

Little Monk still naively thought Shi Yaoguang was moved by his pitifulness, thus agreeing to take him in.

He even thought in his heart that Shi Yaoguang was truly a kind person.

Once his joint venture trouble passed, he would surely repay her well.

...

Shi Yaoguang agreed to take Little Monk on in front of the entire filming crew and thousands of live-streaming viewers, causing quite a stir.

Many speculated that there might be a rift in the relationship between Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei.

If that weren’t the case, Shi Yaoguang wouldn’t be so unrestrained, agreeing to another man freeloading beside her right in front of Quan Jinbei.

The public was very curious about this matter, but no one could get any answers from either Shi Yaoguang or Quan Jinbei.

After three days of streaming "Love Cabin," Shi Yaoguang left with her mouthwatering culinary skills and one freeloading Little Monk.

Before leaving, Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei disappeared from the camera for half an hour. What they did, no one knew, only left to speculate.

The more they speculated, the more curious they got. The curiosity drove the popularity of Shi Yaoguang and "Love Cabin" to unprecedented heights.
