Chapter 76: CH 76

The two of them hid in a corner where they could not be seen clearly in the live broadcast and they exchanged a secret and exciting kiss.

After the kiss, when the heat on Tang San Yuan’s face had dissipated a little, Gu An walked out with him.

In the living room, everyone had eaten grapes and was sitting on the sofa chatting. After Gu An and Tang San Yuan left, everyone had arrived and the director’s assistant had brought in the rules of the game.

Ji Mei opened the task card and read out in a soft voice: “The task is, everyone except Gu An, learn to cook a dish with Gu An and each person has one vote to choose the person who they think cooked the most deliciously. As for the dish to cook, Gu An will decide. The final number of votes will determine the ranking, the first place will get to choose their teammate for the next round of competition and for the last place, Gu An has the right to make them do one thing as a reward for Gu An teaching everyone how to cook.”

When Ji Mei finished reading, she looked up and asked, “Does Gu An also have the right to vote?”

The director’s assistant nodded: “Teacher Gu has the same right to vote once as everyone else, this is to prevent everyone from voting for themselves and ending up with the same ranking.”

When Cai Ke Ke heard this, he was reluctant, “Then wouldn’t it mean that once we all vote for ourselves, the final first place would be decided by him?”

Assistant director: “Yes.”

Cai Ke Ke’s eyes rounded, his voice reluctant: “On what basis?”

Gu An glanced at him lightly and said slowly: “On the basis that I can cook.”

“What’s so great about knowing how to cook?” Cai Ke Ke retorted without even thinking about it.

Everyone looked at him in silence.

……Well, being able to cook was really something in their group.

Cai Ke Ke shut his mouth in grief. At this moment, three major regrets in his life emerged in his mind: first, choosing to fry CP with Tang San Yuan. who would have thought that while he was still in the middle of the CP, Tang San Yuan already had a new partner, the CP was snatched away from him. The opponent just had to be a white lotus who is even more white than him, he is really depressed to the extreme.

Second, not learning to cook earlier, if he knew there were so many benefits to knowing how to cook, he would have learned to cook in advance and then show off his skills here, so that Gu An’s cooking skills would have no use at all, and it would be better to make Gu An come begging to him.

Third, to come to this show! What kind of game is this, unscrupulous director!

The director sat outside in front of the monitor and gave a big sneeze before announcing the official start of the game.

Gu An took the lead and walked towards the kitchen with a group of people following behind him.

Gu An first looked at the ingredients prepared by the programme team, then turned back and asked Tang San Yuan, “Xiao San Ge, what do you want to eat?”

Tang San Yuan thought for a moment and replied: “Sweet and sour pork ribs.”

Gu An nodded with a smile, “Ok, then we’ll make sweet and sour pork.”

Everyone: ……Can you pretend to ask our opinion?

Gu An prepared the ingredients and explained the names and uses to everyone, then he poured the ingredients into the wok in order and began to stir-fry them, explaining them again as he stir-fried them. He was very organised and easy to understand, letting everyone understand quickly.

After Gu An finished speaking once, he turned back and asked, “Xiao San Ge, did you understand?”

Everyone was silent for a moment at the same time……look at us okay?

They all unanimously spit in their hearts, other stars in love are trying to hide it by all means, even if they are on a show, they will use other guests as a cover to desperately divert the focus of their fans to prevent them from discovering their relationship, but Gu An and Tang San Yuan, this is afraid that people won’t see it ah?

But when they think about it, they can understand, Gu An and Tang San Yuan both depend on strength in the entertainment industry, they have the ability and capital, so they don’t have to worry about their romance affecting their popularity, unlike them.

Tang San Yuan nodded his head to show that he understood but although he had memorised all the steps of the stir-fry, he had never cooked before after all, so he was afraid that it would not be easy to actually do it.

Gu An finished the plate of sweet and sour pork, and when he took the dish out of the pot, he repeated the steps he had just taken in cooking, and then beckoned to Tang San Yuan, “Xiao San Ge, come over and taste it.”

The crowd that was about to go over to have a taste: “……” no words to say, we are transparent people.

Tang San Yuan walked over to be hand fed by Gu An and tasted a bite, Gu An’s cooking skills were still a surprise, he ate the ribs and said with a big smile, “It’s so delicious.”

Cai Ke Ke felt that he couldn’t let this pair of dog men just show their love as if there was no one nearby, since they blocked the road of his CP, he would just take the path of bitter love.

He lowered his head and prepared for a moment, changing into a wronged, pitiful and hurt expression, and said in a soft voice, “San Yuan Ge, are you guys in love?”

Everyone’s expressions were instantly subtle, they didn’t expect Cai Ke Ke to ask so directly on air, and they didn’t know what he had in mind.

But they didn’t expect Tang San Yuan to answer, after all, things like announcing a relationship are usually announced by the company, or by them personally, rarely would anyone announce it in such a light-hearted manner inside a variety show.

Gu An looked at Cai Ke Ke unhappily and his gaze sank.

Tang San Yuan’s movement of eating paused for a moment, then shook his head with an unchanged expression and answered truthfully: “Not yet.”

Not yet……means it’s possible?

While everyone was speculating, Gu An suddenly spoke, “We still have twelve days for us to be together.”

Tang San Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his cheeks slowly turned red, he actually also silently counted in his heart, they met eighteen days ago, this month has a total of thirty days, that is to say, there are still twelve days until the time of a month, it turns out that Gu An has also counted secretly like him.

Hearing Gu An’s words, all of them thought in unison……you guys are so special, you can still count down to when you fall in love.

The fans who saw the live broadcast could not help but exclaim repeatedly:

[Ahhhhhhhh they’re actually about to get together!]

[Oh my god, did I witness the birth of a couple!!! They actually fell in love in a variety show.]

[How is that possible? Wake up you guys, how can a celebrity fall in love and say it so blatantly? It’s all for the show’s effect, you’re losing if you’re serious.]

[You better not be happy too fast, I agree with upstairs, this must be for the sake of the show’s ratings, deliberately frying on the topic, have you seen anyone in love that needs to be counted down?]

[I don’t care if it’s true or not, if there’s sugar I’ll eat!]

[Don’t care, don’t care, it’s just sweet, the intimacy between them can’t be acted out at all, I don’t care if you all believe it or not, anyways I believe it’s definitely not fake.]

[An An is just joking, you guys are thinking too much.]

……

Some people on the internet believe it and some don’t. The guests present believed that what Gu An was saying was true but they couldn’t say anything for a while. Only Cai Ke Ke tried hard to squeeze his eyes, trying to squeeze them red and it’s best to pretend to shed a few tears so that he could continue to act out his bitterness.

Gu An watched his movements and moved to Tang San Yuan’s ear and said in a voice that everyone could hear, “Xiao San Ge, please help me see if my eyes are red. I just got smoked while cooking, this dish is really spicy to the eyes.”

Everyone was shocked by his suddenly thin voice and couldn’t help but shiver.

Cai Ke Ke: “……” Please say clearly which ‘dish’ it is.

Gu An turned his head to look at him and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

Gu An stared at his eyes and spoke in a concerned tone, “Ah Cai1菜 (cài): can mean vegetable or dish. It is homonymous with Ke Ke’s family name 蔡 (cài), why are your eyes also red from the smoke, is it because you also think this dish is spicy to the eyes?”

Cai Ke Ke: “……” I’m clearly sad and in pain and want to shed tears.

He was silent for a while and could only put back the tears that he had managed to squeeze out, after all, even if he squeezed out his tears now, the fans would think he was being ‘spiced’.

Gu An continued to ask: “Ah Cai, why don’t you say anything?”

Cai Ke Ke gritted his teeth and his voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth: “……Thanks for your concern, I’m fine.” Don’t call me Ah Cai, thanks! You’re the one with spiced eyes, that’s not right, you’re the dish!

Gu An nodded and pretended to be reassured as he patted his chest, “That’s good.”

Tang San Yuan softly complimented him, “You’re so kind.”

God damn what kind, Cai Ke Ke was so angry that he didn’t want to talk, he just wanted to cook.

Since Gu An had finished teaching everyone how to make sweet and sour pork, it was everyone’s turn to start cooking on their own according to what he had just taught them.

Gu An always stood behind Tang San Yuan and watched, because according to the rules, he was not allowed to give instructions, so he didn’t say a word throughout the cooking process, but only helped to hold the seasoning box when Tang San Yuan occasionally knocked it over, or reached out to block the oil when it splashed out from the pot.

Although everyone was busy, they quickly finished the sweet and sour pork and served them separately.

It was clear that we were all making the same dish, but they all varied, all of the dished were put on the table together in a variety of ways, and compared to the plate Gu An had just made, it was a world apart.

The next step was to try the dishes, everyone pushed each other around but no one wanted to be the first to try it. After all, no one knew what kind of strange taste the sweet and sour pork they made would have, they all had no confidence in themselves and had even less confidence in the others. In the end, they each took a step back and everyone took a chopstick of the sweet and sour pork ribs to taste at the same time.

The first plate of sweet and sour ribs on the table was made by Ji Li. Although the ribs were cooked, but they were very hard and everyone put down their chopsticks after just one bite.

The second plate was made by Ji Mei, which was the opposite of her sister’s sweet and sour pork. Not sure if her plate of sweet and sour pork ribs were cooked for too long or too much sugar was added, the whole plate of pork ribs was black and sticky, and everyone reluctantly picked up a piece and put it in their mouths. Although it didn’t look very good, the taste was okay, just that it was a little salty.

The third plate was made by Cai Ke Ke, the whole plate of sweet and sour pork was black, it was inedible at first glance, although Cai Ke Ke knew it was unlikely that anyone would eat it, he still tried to promote it, “You guys try it?”

Gu An didn’t show any mercy: “Why don’t you try it first?”

Cai Ke Ke took one look at the black mass and silently put down his chopsticks, no longer struggling.

The fourth plate was Yue Le Feng’s, everyone saw that his plate of sweet and sour pork looked good, the taste should also be good, so they didn’t think much about it and took their chopsticks to try it. The chopsticks reached over to clip……the result was it didn’t move, everyone froze.

Tang San Yuan tried to forcibly pull off a piece and saw then he saw sugar strands being pulled out2Like imagine the cheese when you pull a slice of pizza out from the whole pizza..

Gu An raised his eyebrows, “Is this candied pork ribs?”

Yue Le Feng blinked and leaned close to Gu An’s ear and whispered, “Idol, save some face for your fan.”

Seeing that his fan is really pitiful, Gu An showed mercy and tried to taste the piece of pork ribs that Tang San Yuan had just pulled up, but it was too sticky and only filled his mouth with a sweet taste.

The last plate of sweet and sour pork was made by Tang San Yuan and looked good, they got close enough to smell it and it seemed to smell good too.

During Gu An’s explanation, Tang San Yuan’s eyes were fixed on Gu An the whole time, and he was the one who listened most carefully. Everyone was more assured of the dish he made, did not say much, just stretched their chopsticks down, the taste of ribs is OK, just that it is too bland.

Every plate of sweet and sour pork they made had flaws, except for Cai Ke Ke’s plate which was so burnt that you couldn’t see it’s original state, the others could be said to be tied evenly.

Finally it was time to vote and Gu An was the first to vote, naturally voting for Tang San Yuan.

……Your heart is so biased.

The people silently looked at him, but none of them opened their mouths to resist, after all, it is also useless to resist. Gu An’s partiality is so obvious, it’s just short of being written on his face.

The Ji sisters both voted for each other, Yue Le Feng voted for Tang San Yuan under the intimidation of Gu An’s eyes, Cai Coco hesitated for a moment with his vote, but finally also voted for Tang San Yuan. After all, he had previously set up a persona that has a good relationship with Tang San Yuan and even adored him in order to fry CP. Now, he naturally could not slap himself in the face, he had no choice but to vote for Tang San Yuan.

Between Yue Le Feng’s plate of ‘candied pork ribs’ and Cai Ke Ke’s plate of ‘dark cuisine’, Tang San Yuan chose Yue Le Feng without hesitation and voted for him.

The final result of the competition was that Tang San Yuan was the winner of the round because he received three votes, while Cai Ke Ke was the last one with no votes.

Cai Ke Ke was not convinced but could not do anything about it, who made his dish such that even the fans could not eat it through the screen, and had no confidence to retort even if they wanted to.

For the next match, it was first up to Tang San Yuan to choose his teammate, who chose Gu An with a red face.

Everyone felt no ripples in their hearts and for a moment suspected that they were participating in a love show.

The rest of the group was grouped according to the programme’s arrangement of drawing lots, and the final result was Yue Le Feng and Ji Li in a group, and Cai Ke Ke and Ji Mei in a group.

After everyone was divided into groups, it was Gu An’s turn to instruct Cai Ke Ke to do something.

Although Cai Ke Ke was still calm on the surface, his eyes were staring nervously at Gu An, and he couldn’t help but worry that Gu An would give some kind of terrifying task. After all, the last time he ate hot pot, he was already tormented by Gu An. If Gu An’s task this time was to make him obey his orders during the next filming period, he would definitely be tossed to death.

Gu An sat on the sofa, his arm leisurely propped up his head, his fingers tapping his temple, looking like a beast thinking of how to deal with a sheep to be slaughtered. Cai Ke Ke felt trepidation from being looked at, afraid he would say something scary.

As if testing his patience, Gu An waited until his palms were clenched nervously and his back was slightly sweating before he curled his lips and opened his mouth, “My task is very simple, just repeat what I say three times.”

Gu An’s request was unexpectedly simple and everyone glanced at him with some surprise.

Cai Ke Ke was astonished for a moment, but didn’t relax because of it, instead he looked at Gu An even more nervously, he didn’t believe Gu An would be so kind as to let him off so easily.

“What are you going to make me say?”

Gu An faintly smiled, thin lips lightly opened: “Love cannot be formed3Gu An says 情不可圆 (qíng bù kě yuán) which can also be interpreted as ‘Love is not Ke Yuan’ in this context. A more literal translation would be ‘Love cannot be rounded’, San Gu for life.”

Cai Ke Ke: “……”

Tang San Yuan: “……”

Apart from them, all the other guests did not understand what these two sentences meant and gave them a surprised look.

The fans in the pop-ups, however, understood in seconds and instantly burst out laughing:

[Hahahahaha I didn’t expect that Gu An even knows the meme of love has “Ke Yuan” and “San Gu” for life, and even changed it to Love cannot “Ke Yuan”. Did he penetrate deep into the fans?]

[An An, you say, are you personally carrying the CP, and you even conveniently demolished the opposing family’s CP. Hahahahaha you are so cruel, not even leaving a way out for the opposing family’s CP.]

[Gu An you’re bullying people!]

[Just bullying you guys, who let you guys keep sucking my Yuan Bao’s blood. Gu An Jia You!]

[You guys don’t be happy too quickly, how sweet they are now will be how cruelly their CP will be demolished in future.]

[Our ‘San Gu’ will be sweet for a lifetime, you guys didn’t hear? What are you pretending to be stupid about, do you have to wait until they announce their relationship before you can shut up?]

[The CP I fan is the sweetest, crazily fight call, fight call, San Gu for life!]

[Silently recite three times, San Gu for life! San Gu for life! San Gu for life!]
