After treating the cameraman to a delicious meal, Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo had 1,100 yuan left after deducting the cost of their rooms for the remaining six days. This was more than enough for the next few days of filming.
After Ji Nanshu whispered a few words in Chu Mo's ear, netizens saw the two holding hands tightly, seemingly heading towards the seafood market.
Chu Mo still remembered that he was going to make spicy crayfish for Ji Nanshu, so of course he had to go to the seafood market to check it out. Yes, he definitely didn't want to see him make a fool of himself.
Inside the seafood market, Lian Shao's face was extremely sour. When had he, the second young master of the Lian family, ever done such dirty and tiring work?!
Bai Nanyu had never done this before, but considering it was in front of the camera, he endured his disgust and resentment, promoting seafood while also appeasing Lian Shao, who occasionally had a fit of rage. It truly made him feel what it meant to be exhausted.
Lian Shao is different from He Jingyi. At that time, He Jingyi still liked him, and Ji Nanshu was just a powerless orphan. Lian Shao, or rather the Lian family, would never offend the Ji Family for his sake.
His mother was sent to prison by the Ji Family, and He Jingyi died. His second brother was indeed good to him, but his second brother was just a celebrity, and moreover, a washed-up celebrity with a lot of scandals. He couldn't do anything about it.
Although his elder brother does favor him, it's only as long as it doesn't infringe on his interests. Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged a marriage for him so soon after He Jingyi's death.
But he couldn't resist. He was used to this comfortable life of wealth, and he absolutely refused to go back to that small town. He couldn't bear the shame! He had resolutely severed ties with his adoptive parents back then, and there was absolutely no way he would go back!
He wanted to hold onto Lian Shao tightly. Power didn't matter; as long as Lian Shao could provide him with a comfortable life, he didn't care what Lian Shao did—he could even keep ten or eight mistresses outside! Anyway, he didn't like Lian Shao!
"Ah Shao, you rest for a while, I'll take care of it." Bai Nanyu frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry.
Lian Shao pushed Bai Nanyu away. "No need, I can manage on my own."
"Ah Shao, you're amazing!" Bai Nanyu's lips curled up slightly, his eyes widening slightly, full of encouragement.
Lian Shao's cheeks flushed red instantly.
He was rarely praised so openly. From childhood, his family only praised his older brother. The only adjectives used to describe him were rebellious, good-for-nothing, and useless. They would also say things like, "When will you be as sensible as your brother?"
[Oh no, what do I do? I suddenly feel like I'm totally shipping these two!]
[This Lian Shao seems strangely innocent; he's not as annoying as he was yesterday.]
[Actually, Lian Shao is quite good-looking, and comes from a good family. Bai Nanyu is also fair-skinned and handsome. The two are actually quite well-matched.]
Of course, the praise continued until they saw Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo in the frame, at which point netizens noticed Lian Shao's face visibly darken.
What are you doing here?!
Ji Nanshu tilted his head. "If those two holes under your eyebrows weren't for venting your anger, I'd be here to buy seafood."
Lian Shao scoffed, "Who knows what you're up to!"
"I'm not like some people who like to stir up trouble." Ji Nanshu said pointedly, and before Lian Shao could refute him, he shouted, "Boss, your employees have terrible attitudes! Are you selling or not?"
The shop owner rushed over, glared at Lian Shao, then turned to Ji Nanshu with a beaming smile and said, "Gentlemen, what would you like to buy?"
Chu Mo: "Five catties of crayfish."
After the shop owner quickly weighed out five catties of crayfish for the two of them, Ji Nanshu glanced at Lian Shao and Chu Mo with a hint of mockery and then strode away.
Even as we were almost out of the seafood market, we could still hear the owner cursing and swearing at Lian Shao.
On their way back to the villa, the two passed by the flower shop where Ning Rumeng and Qin Yi worked.
Chu Mo stopped and tilted his head to ask, "Sweetie, shall I buy you a bouquet of flowers?"
"Do you have sunflowers?" Ji Nanshu peeked out from behind Chu Mo.
Just then, Ning Rumeng came out of the shop carrying a large bouquet of flowers. Seeing Chu Mo, her face lit up with joy. "Senior Chu! What brings you here? Did you come to see me?"
He ignored Ji Nanshu was standing to the side.
Chu Mo asked in confusion, "What's worth seeing?"
Ning Rumeng's face stiffened. "I... I meant, did Senior Chu come to see me and Brother Yi?"
[Hilarious! This Chu Gouzi is as cunning as ever!]
[What does Chu Mo mean?! What did my Mengmeng do to him? Why is he being so rude?! Doesn't he know what gentlemanly manners are?!]
[Mengmeng, please ignore him!! Mommy feels sorry for you!! Can't you find another idol?!]
[Your Mengmeng is so nice! Ji Nanshu and Chu Mo came separately, but she only greeted Chu Mo. Ah--I know, it must be because your Mengmeng has absolutely no manners!]
[Your idol is the one with no manners! You stupid idiot! ￥#￥￥%%@￥]
[Hey hey hey, did you hear that dog barking? Oh, sorry, I shouldn't have insulted the dog, after all, dogs are so cute!]
"Oh... A-Mo is here to buy me flowers, of course," Ji Nanshu said.
" Teacher Ji..." She seemed to only just notice Ji Nanshu's presence. " Teacher Ji, what kind of flowers do you like? Let me tell you."
Ji Nanshu: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Teacher Ning."
Ning Rumeng raised her signboard and smiled as she introduced everything to Ji Nanshu, but her eyes were always glued to Chu Mo.
After the introduction, Ji Nanshu yawned. " A-Mo, I'm so sleepy. I don't want the flowers anymore, why don't you go back and cook for me?"
Chu Mo, of course, did whatever his wife said. He turned around, squatted down, picked up Ji Nanshu, and left. Ning Rumeng was so angry that she accidentally broke a vase, causing her to lose fifty yuan from her daily wage of one hundred and fifty yuan.
The shop owner's brows were furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito. "Miss Ning! I know you're a big star, but could you please stop being so clumsy? How many things have you broken while working at my flower shop today? And those flowers, do you know how expensive they are?!"
It's so annoying! She shouldn't have given in to that stupid show and agreed to let those celebrities come to her flower shop!
Not only did they not charge her, but they also caused her a lot of trouble! Only the boy who came with her was somewhat better; he was honest and straightforward.
Ning Rumeng's eyes instantly reddened. "Boss lady, I'm sorry... I know I'm clumsy, but this is really my first time doing this. Please don't scold me, I'll do it well and won't cause you any more trouble..."
The proprietress rolled her eyes. So annoying! She'd heard that at least three times today!
