Chapter 1020: A Special Birthday Present
The host announced the results excitedly, congratulating Shen Mengyuan for winning the champions.h.i.+p of the season and Jing Xi for winning first runner-up.
Shen Mengyuan smiled like a flower as she received her award on stage, feeling very smug. As long as she thought that she had defeated Jing Xi and had her under her feet, she would feel that she had taken out her anger on Jing Xi and feel very happy.
Shen Mengyuan thought that defeating Jing Xi would cause an effect on her. But in truth, things like rankings and prizes had no effect on Jing Xi.
Regardless of whether she was able to win top three in place or whatever her overall rank was, it was enough to her as long she had put in a good effort.
It was also good enough to be able to win the first runner-up place. She didn’t have that kind of stubborn resolution to win no matter what.
While the host was interviewing the top three winners, he asked everyone a question, “Do you know what day today is?”
Everyone knew that today was December 24th and it was Christmas Eve.
The host announced with joy, “Everyone only guessed half of it. Today is not only Christmas Eve, but also the birthday of our first runner-up winner, Miss Jing Xi. So, in today’s variety show recording, the program group has specially prepared a birthday surprise for her.”
The audience was very surprised. Xu Xiyan was very pleasantly surprised too. She didn’t know what surprise the program group had prepared for her.
Suddenly, the whole studio fell into darkness.
After a few seconds, tiny lights flickered in the distance, appearing to come closer and closer.
As the lights kept approaching until they came on stage, the audience realized that someone was wheeling a large cake.
A few lights at the studio lit up. Under the light, Xu Xiyan could see clearly who had come—it was her husband, Huo Yunshen.
When everyone at the studio saw Huo Yunshen appear, they all whooped and screamed.
Xu Xiyan was also very surprised. She did not expect him to come to celebrate her birthday on the show.
The swaying candlelight outlined the man’s soulful eyes and well-chiseled face. He was perfectly impeccable.
Xu Xiyan’s heart thumped as she gazed at him silently, watching him approach her step by step.
At this moment, he was just like an indomitable hero making his entrance; his every step was imprinted on her heart.
Huo Yunshen wheeled the cake over. The first thing he did was to hug his wife, then kiss her on her lips.
“Happy birthday, dear. Come, make a wis.h.!.+”
Huo Yunshen told her to make a wish. Xu Xiyan clasped her hands together and made a birthday wish.
In the candlelight, Huo Yunshen gazed at his wife’s warm and pure, delicate face. He felt like treasuring her forever.
After making her wish, she blew out the candles, then all the lights in the studio lit up.
The host and the show guests came over to her to give their birthday blessings.
Cheekily, the host interviewed Huo Yunshen on the spot. “I heard that Mr. Huo’s cooking is very good. Is this true? Can you demonstrate your skills to everyone here right now?”
Huo Yunshen exchanged looks with his wife, then answered, “Sure, but I’ll only cook for Jing Xi.”
“Owww…”
The host immediately put on a hurt look in protest. Huo Yunshen’s favoritism was really getting out of hand.
If he only wanted to cook for Jing Xi, did this mean that everyone else could only watch?
After that, the couple took to the stage together, getting ready to work together to make a dish.
Huo Yunshen washed his hands and prepared to make soup. This was the first time he was showing off his cooking skills in front of an audience. Everyone was full of excitement as they looked forward to seeing the prince charming cook.
Huo Yunshen went to stand at the Kitchen of the Stars. Immediately, the difference between a prince charming and a male cook was revealed.
Prince charming is prince charming. No matter what he did, he was still completely like one. Cooking did not even affect the prince charming’s handsomeness and domineering air.
It had to be said that having cooking skills was really a plus for a man.
