Since they were the first to complete it, Yuan Qing simply revealed the recording content of the night to the two of them.
“The following plan is to let everyone cook dinner together tonight. It will also be live-streamed at that time.”
Yuan Qing felt no pressure at all from revealing this in advance. “If you want to go out and shop, you can buy some of your favorite ingredients to prepare for tonight.”
“The production team will reimburse the expenses.” Yuan Qing said this last sentence without any burden.
The expenses of the production team were all covered by the investors. In fact,
Huo Yichen was one of the main men responsible for the bill. Yuan Qing immediately felt that he had made a killing.
Huo Yichen didn’t care about this at all. After hearing Yuan Qing’s words, he turned to look at Murong Qiao, silently asking for her opinion.
“Wait for me to change into normal clothes first and let s go out for a walk.
Murong Qiao tugged at the overly heavy skirt on her body.
The supermarket closest to the filming location was only five minutes away.
When Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen packed up and set off, they found a place to buy ingredients without much effort.
It was afternoon, and the leaves rustled when the slightly cold autumn wind blew. The sunlight turned into light spots through the gaps in the trees and landed on the ground in bits and pieces. It was quite beautiful.
Murong Qiao looked at the very wide “supermarket” in front of her and pulled Huo Yichen inside.
It was probably not too accurate to call it a supermarket. This was a small town, so when they walked in, they could still see the prototype of the previous market. However, the modern facilities and decorations had been very well renovated to a clean style.
A building that could be said to be a large shopping mall was divided into two floors. Murong Qiao first pulled the shopping cart upstairs.
“There’s a new style of potato chips-” Murong Qiao was surprised to see the potato chips she liked to eat on the shelf.
Huo Yichen threw the potato chips into the shopping cart without hesitation.
“Then I’ll buy them all.”
Murong Qiao laughed at his teasing. “Didn’t we come here to buy ingredients?”
“I’ll buy anything you put in my hands. I can even buy an entire car-load of food,” Huo Yichen said righteously.
As soon as he said this, the two of them instantly changed from their original goal of buying ingredients to taking whatever they wanted.
However, after walking for a long time, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but move her ankle.
She was wearing a pair of high heels today. After walking for so long, she couldn’t help but rub the spot behind her ankle. It was already faintly hurting now. It should be red.
Huo Yichen had been paying attention to Murong Qiao. Seeing her suddenly stop as she walked, he immediately turned around.
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
Huo Yichen was pushing a half-full shopping cart, so he didn’t see Murong Qiao’s red ankle clearly immediately.
Murong Qiao moved her foot gently and immediately hissed in pain. “My ankle hurts a little.”
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have worn high heels today,” she complained to Huo Yichen secretly.
When Huo Yichen heard her say that she was not feeling well, he parked the cart at the side and squatted down in front of Murong Qiao to check what was going on.
Her fair and exquisite ankles were now red.
Huo Yichen turned his head to look and saw that the straps of the high heels were wedged into her skin and a little bit had sunk into her flesh. It was clearly the culprit.
No wonder it hurts.
“Your skin is sc.r.a.ped. Don’t move from here. I’ll be back soon.” Huo Yichen frowned and stood up.
He carried Murong Qiao horizontally to prevent her from moving around and hurting herself again. He found a place for the guests to rest and put her down. Then, he turned around and left quickly.
Huo Yichen walked quickly and returned in a few minutes. This time, he had a pair of slippers and band-aids in his hand.
“I’ll stick it on you first so that it won’t hurt anymore.” Huo Yichen squatted down again.
He tore open the band-aid very seriously and held up Murong Qiao’s foot to confirm the position. Then, he used a force that was so gentle that it was almost undetectable to gently paste the band-aid on it.
Facing the gazes of the surrounding people, Murong Qiao shrank her feet in embarra.s.sment. She was about to say that she could do it herself when Huo Yichen grabbed her moving calf again.
“Don’t move.” Huo Yichen’s voice came from below.
Murong Qiao took a deep breath and tried her best not to care about the gazes of the surrounding people. This time, she was obedient and really didn’t move at all. However, her tense body still revealed some discomfort.
Fortunately, the supermarket was big and comprehensive enough. When Huo Yichen went to get the band-aids, he also bought some alcohol cotton swabs.
He thought of the sting of alcohol to disinfect wounds and looked up to remind Murong Qiao, “It might hurt a little.”
It wouldn’t be good to let the wound get infected.
After Huo Yichen finished speaking, he really wiped the cotton ball on the wound. It was so painful that Murong Qiao was caught off guard.
There was probably some medicine on the band-aid. After applying it, a cold feeling came from it. It was quite comfortable.
The high heels had already been taken off by Huo Yichen when he was treating her wound and placed aside. He had no intention of letting her continue to wear them.
Huo Yichen opened the packaging of the slippers he had bought at the last minute and put them on Murong Qiao.
“I’ll put on the slippers myself.” Murong Qiao wanted to struggle.
But Huo Yichen’s hand was faster. “I’m willing to put it on for you.”
Murong Qiao could only wave her feet and stand up after confirming that there was no problem.
“Be careful.” Huo Yichen reached out to help her up.
Murong Qiao wanted to laugh at his behavior. “I’m not that delicate.” “Let’s buy the ingredients first. It’s already dark and we haven’t bought anything yet. We’ll be hungry tonight.” Murong Qiao returned to the main topic.
Seeing that she was fine, Huo Yichen reached out and pulled the shopping cart back. He suddenly had an idea and reached out to pat the empty spot in front of the shopping cart.
-Do you want to try sitting on it? You don’t have to walk and it’ll save you the pain.” He pointed at a spot in front that was enough to accommodate a person. Murong Qiao took a look and touched the edge of the shopping cart. She really wanted to sit on it.
Til push you.” Huo Yichen saw through her thoughts.
Just as Murong Qiao was a little tempted, a mother and son suddenly pa.s.sed
by.
“Mommy, faster, faster! Wu!” The boy sat in the shopping cart and treated it as his racing car as he instructed his mother to turn around.
The woman pushing the cart had a doting expression. “Alright, alright, alright
____ II
The ordinary and even very pleasant scene landed in Murong Qiao’s eyes. She was about to try riding in the cart when she suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling.
This time, she retracted her hand decisively and rejected Huo Yichen’s suggestion.
“Let’s buy groceries.” Murong Qiao changed the topic.
Recalling the little boy’s childish actions just now, she immediately thought of herself and shivered.
Forget it, forget it.
The two of them threw the small episode to the back of their minds and finally began to do serious things.
There were many choices for a gathering. For the sake of the atmosphere, Director Yuan Qing directly set the theme for tonight as barbecue.
She just didn’t know if the other couples had received the same mission as them to buy ingredients.
As Murong Qiao thought in her heart, she didn’t forget to choose a few types of barbecue sauce and put them all into the shopping cart.
Huo Yichen completely treated himself as a pushcart laborer. He followed Murong Qiao everywhere she went. When Murong Qiao was struggling to choose, he didn’t feel annoyed. He even enjoyed it very much..
