As the sour taste quickly spread in his mouth, Fu Yunyi's expression naturally lost control.
However, most celebrities have some image to maintain. At least the three victims so far, each of them resisted the urge to vomit while being disgusted by the criticism.
Fu Yunyi also swallowed it with difficulty.
Fu Yunyi: "Ugh, these oranges are so sour! So that's why you guys were running around all this time."
Wang Chengran looked embarrassed. "Sorry, Brother Fu, I didn't realize it at first..."
He was genuinely a little worried.
Although he was easygoing, he was very clear in his mind that among the guests present, Fu Yunyi was currently the most prominent.
Moreover, Fu Yunyi is rumored to be a wealthy young master with powerful connections. Even if you don't rush to curry favor with him, it's best not to offend him, right?
Fu Yunyi waved his hand, poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down to suppress the sour taste that made his scalp tingle, before saying, "It's okay, I saw it very clearly just now, it's not your fault."
As he spoke, Fu Yunyi pointed at Xia Zhiyi and said, "Even if you react quickly, you probably can't keep up with his speed."
As he spoke, Fu Yunyi poured himself another glass of water.
Xue Ranran coughed lightly and swallowed, " Brother Fu, did you send the oranges over?"
Fu Yunyi: "Hmm."
Xia Zhiyi looked at him with a smile, " Brother Fu, didn't you try one on the way?"
Fu Yunyi: "Why would I taste the fruit they gave me... Hmm? You're not going to tell me that the orange from earlier was...?"
Wang Chengran and Xue Ranran nodded in unison.
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi paused for a moment, then slowly looked at Xue Ranran: "Didn't you bring those oranges back? Didn't you and Qin Yue try them before?"
Xue Ranran scratched her cheek and chuckled, "I... I didn't think that much about it at the time."
Wang Chengran whispered from the side, "I... I thought they had already tried it."
Before they were sent out, no one expected that the basket of oranges would taste bad.
It looks quite round and pretty.
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi: "So what do we do now? I can't exactly go and ask for it back, can I?"
As he spoke, Fu Yunyi glanced in the direction of the store and asked, "Is the store closed at this time too?"
It's too late to exchange the gift.
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's alright, just send it over. I'll bring the old man some other food after we finish eating."
After Xia Zhiyi finished speaking, she walked past Xue Ranran and into the kitchen, saying as she went, "I'm going to help Sister Yueyue."
They ran away openly and honestly.
Fu Yunyi and Wang Chengran hadn't realized anything was wrong, but Xue Ranran, who was still holding a piece of orange, reacted immediately and rushed over. "Wait, Teacher Xia, we share the good times and the bad, how can you run away!"
The other two reacted quickly, and Xia Zhiyi was now surrounded by three people. In the end, he had no choice but to eat the remaining orange.
To the disappointment of the three, the same oranges made them look like they were meme-worthy from the sourness, while Xia Zhiyi remained unfazed, as if the oranges weren't sour at all!
Xue Ranran: "Aren't you... a little sour?"
Xia Zhiyi picked up the rice cooker from the stove and replied with a smile, "Sour."
Why isn't it sour?
When Xia Zhiyi first touched the fruit pulp, she felt her teeth were about to ache.
Xue Ranran asked suspiciously, "Really? Then why didn't your expression change at all?"
Xia Zhiyi: "I'm resistant to acid."
Everyone: "..."
Qin Yue was not very clear about what happened and asked confusedly, "What is sour or not? Is the dish I made sour?"
Xue Ranran quickly shook her head. "No, it's an orange."
Then Xue Ranran briefly recounted what had just happened.
Qin Yue: "..."
Qin Yue couldn't help but chuckle.
Xue Ranran: "... Just laugh if you want to."
Qin Yue: "Pfft."
Fu Yunyi and Wang Chengran took all the dishes out, and after the five of them sat down around the table, Xia Zhiyi suddenly said, "I'll make everyone some stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar tomorrow."
Xue Ranran and Wang Chengran, who were sitting on either side of him, raised their hands in unison to pat him on the shoulder. " Teacher Xia, please stop talking!"
That's outrageous!
Qin Yue, standing beside Xue Ranran, saw this scene and her eyes flickered.
It seems that Xue Ranran, Wang Chengran, and Xia Zhiyi have gotten along better.
However, Qin Yue didn't say anything, just smiled and looked on, still gentle and reserved.
During the meal, the emotions of the group, which had been making a ruckus, gradually cooled down. Fu Yunyi suddenly remembered what Xia Zhiyi had said earlier, and asked while clearing the table after the meal, "You said you wanted to make something with the leftover materials, are you done?"
Upon Xia Zhiyi nodded and then took out a piece of wood from her pocket.
They had already decided that the guests would take turns washing the dishes each day, but this was decided after Zhou Kai left. After Zhou Kai left, with the chef Qin Yue gone, there were exactly four people, so it was convenient for them to take turns in pairs.
Today it's Fu Yunyi and Xia Zhiyi.
Wang Chengran, who was about to go to the back to chop wood for his task, turned back upon hearing the sound, "What is it? What is it?"
The two female guests had already taken their clothes and gone to take a shower together.
When they saw what Xia Zhiyi was holding, Wang Chengran and Fu Yunyi were both puzzled. "What is this?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled, her fingers twitching slightly, and the wooden block, which had previously only shown a slight curve at the edge, split into two pieces, which she then gently placed on the table.
Before he could explain, Wang Chengran exclaimed in sudden realization, "Oh! I know, the chopstick rest!"
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi, surprisingly, believed it, and said with a look of sudden realization, "It's for putting chopsticks in, you're quite particular. But this chopstick rest is also quite nice, it has a bit of an auspicious cloud feel to it."
Xia Zhiyi helplessly, "It's a phone stand."
He paused for a moment, then added, "But you can use it to hold chopsticks if you want."
The two:?
Afterwards, Xia Zhiyi borrowed a phone from a member of the production crew and demonstrated it to the two of them.
That's right, this is a phone stand.
Fu Yunyi was right; Xia Zhiyi did indeed reference traditional Xia Country patterns.
Wang Chengran's eyes sparkled, and just as she was about to ask, Xia Zhiyi took out another one, which was slightly different in size from the first, but not by much, and asked, "I've only made two so far. I want to design a different pattern for Sister Ranran and Sister Yueyue, so I haven't made them yet."
"If you like them, you can have them."
If he doesn't like it, he'll take it and sell it along with the stool.
Wang Chengran: "I love it! I absolutely love it!"
Fu Yunyi coughed lightly, more reserved than Wang Chengran: "It's quite exquisite, and it can be combined and used. Then I'll accept it without hesitation." He'd have to think about how to reciprocate later; he wasn't good at woodworking.
This made the viewers in the live chat incredibly envious!
