Chapter 204: Chapter 146 Yam and Carp Soup (Two in One)_3

[The commenter above is right]

[This cool guy is really something, so well-behaved in front of Jiang Ning, but in front of others... to say he’s as cold as an iceberg is putting it mildly]

[... Oh my, hahahahaha cool guy, not bad, it actually suits him quite well]

[I ask myself every day where Jiang Ning found such a boyfriend, come on, start teaching! I want to learn!]

Jiang Ning had no idea about Qi Xingzhou’s divine strategy.

Because she had previously told Qi Xingzhou not to show his ability to communicate with animals in public or in front of other people, and Qi Xingzhou had agreed to her request, so in Jiang Ning’s subconscious, she thought Qi Xingzhou was also using a fishing rod and bait to catch fish, just with a bit more success than Wang Ye.

It wasn’t until after she finished her shower, tidied up, and came downstairs looking refreshed that she saw the big bucket full of lively fish in the living room. The astonishment the audience and Wang Ye had felt transferred successfully to Jiang Ning’s face.

Jiang Ning, surprised, "So many?"

"Yeah, yeah, hahahaha, when Tian Tian and I saw them bringing it back, we were astonished, too." Nong Chun said happily, pointing to the bucket of fish, "So many, enough for us to eat for several days!"

"I saw a packet of pickled vegetables this afternoon, we can make pickled vegetable fish tomorrow." Jian Tiantian said, unable to help herself from slurping her lips.

"All the credit goes to Qi Xingzhou." Wang Ye spoke up, "I only caught five or six fish, the rest were all caught by him."

[Heard Jiang Ning calling the cool guy’s name before, calling him Xingzhou, never knew what surname the cool guy had, now I finally know...]

[Qi? That’s a rare surname, the most memorable one from our Capital City is the first name of the richest man: Qi Jingshan!]

[With Qi Xingzhou looking so outstanding and his dignified demeanor, could it be...?]

[No, no, don’t start wild speculation. The richest man in Capital City, do you realize what that means? Would someone with that kind of family even care about this little reality show?]

[Yes, rumors are a slip of the tongue, but debunking them runs your legs off. We just need to watch the live broadcast quietly.]

Holding back, Wang Ye finally couldn’t resist and praised, "Jiang Ning, your friend is really incredible at fishing! He can catch fish with just some grass leaves hanging on the hook!"

Jiang Ning glanced at Qi Xingzhou upon hearing this.

With a whole bucket full of fish, Qi Xingzhou had brought them in from the riverside. Facing Wang Ye’s enthusiastic praise, he had kept a straight face, and after coming in, he remained just as impassive in response to Nong Chun and Jian Tiantian’s astonishment—until he saw Jiang Ning. When met with her gaze, the calm in his heart started to bubble up like a scoop of snow inside an iceberg suddenly turned boiling hot.

His eyes, bright and shiny, looked at Jiang Ning, filled with anticipation, just waiting to be praised by her.

Jiang Ning smiled, "That’s not just any grass leaves."

Wang Ye immediately perked up, "Oh?"

Nong Chun and Jian Tiantian also looked at Jiang Ning curiously, waiting for her next words.

Jiang Ning slowly said, "That’s the same kind of leaf used by Jiang Taigong for fishing."

Wang Ye: "..."

Nong Chun, Jian Tiantian: "..."

The audience in front of the screen: "..."

[That’s a good cold joke, best not to say it again]

The fish caught by Qi Xingzhou and Wang Ye weighed at least twenty pounds, surely not all of it could be cooked tonight, so Nong Chun picked out two carp and some smaller fish to prepare for dinner, while the rest were placed in a big fish tank behind the small loft’s tap to be temporarily kept alive, eaten bit by bit.

There were two dishes tonight: carp and yam soup, and braised small fish. Both dishes required time to cook. Watching the clean and refreshed Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou also went back to his room to shower.

By the time he came down, Jian Tiantian and Nong Chun had finished preparing dinner, leaving the small loft filled with an appetizing aroma that made everyone’s mouth water.

The glistening, plump rice was carried out from the kitchen by Nong Chun. Except for Wang Ye, no one else had eaten rice since arriving on the desolate island, and just the smell of it made them drool uncontrollably.

Everyone sat at the dinner table, tacitly silent, earnestly burying their heads in their meal.

[Oh my gosh, this is so appetizing]

[Darn it! I suddenly really want to eat braised fish!]

[That soup looks good too!]

[I can’t control it, I really want to order takeout]

[Me too...]

It was as if the staff of the show were just waiting for these comments, as soon as the barrage appeared, an advertisement for receiving a takeout coupon immediately popped up on the left side of the live stream.

[6, the show’s ad placement]

[This promotion, seriously, it’s intentional, right!]

[Something’s off, where are the other five guests? How come they’re not visible?]

[They’re probably in their own rooms. When the guests stay in their own rooms, they have privacy protection, we can’t see them]

[This afternoon when Jiang Ning and the others were in the forest, I saw Yuan Wei and his group come down, they looked around for a bit, drank some water, and then went back to their rooms]

[They are a bunch of injured and sick, probably recovering in their own rooms]

[Don’t they get hungry?]

[After being beaten up that severely in the morning, even if they’re starving, they have to endure it]

[Serves them right!!!]
