Just as the guests' dinner was drawing to a close, three topics related to rural life suddenly appeared on the trending searches.
One title is "What is the most beautiful form of love?"
One headline reads, "How terrifying can a kitchen killer be?"
One headline reads, "Did you have the same thing for dinner tonight?"
The strange title immediately attracted the attention of many netizens, who clicked on it and found that it was a rural variety show about daily life.
However, for those netizens, the latter two titles are more or less related to rural variety shows.
But the question of "what is the most beautiful form of love" is quite puzzling.
After all, this is a rural-themed variety show, not a dating show, and many netizens clicked on it out of curiosity.
Upon clicking through, what greets the eye is the silhouette of two girls walking hand in hand in the sunset.
The fiery red sunset fell on their backs, as if draping them in a thin veil.
The whole scene was so beautiful, it looked like a painting, and many netizens who saw it couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"The most beautiful form of love is when we grow old, I can still hold your hand and walk home in the sunset."
At the very top of the photo, written in warm red, is this sentence.
[I'm so upset, I came here from the trending topics. That photo perfectly captures the most beautiful aspect of love, especially the sentence above it, it really touched my heart.]
[She's so beautiful! I came here after seeing her photos, and I just wanted to see her! Quick, quick, let me see where she is!]
[I came here to ship this couple. The photo is so beautiful, the girls together look so lovely. I just want to know if I can find some sweet romance here.]
[Don't worry, upstairs! Invest in our Lin Xue CP, and I guarantee you'll have fresh sweetness every day—it'll be so sweet it'll make your teeth ache!]
[Hahaha, I'm different from you guys. I came here to find that poor little kid after watching Kitchen Killer.]
[Yes, yes, me too. It's so tragic. She was just cooking, how did she manage to turn the kitchen into a fire scene?]
Although it was heartbreaking, that scene just made me unable to stop laughing.
[It's so pitiful. This is truly the first time I've ever seen someone grab all the wrong seasonings while cooking. It's both funny and heartbreaking.]
The girl next to me looked so bewildered; that's exactly how I felt when I first saw this video.
[For those of you who can learn to cook with just a little practice, you really can't understand the pain of those of us who just can't seem to learn no matter how hard we try.]
[I'm just a passerby who wanted to order fish soup but couldn't get it no matter what I tried. After seeing the trending topics, I finally understood why I couldn't have my beloved fish soup tonight—it's all been ordered by you guys! Waaah, my fish soup!]
【That's right, that's right. My situation is the same as the friend upstairs. I drink fish soup every night, but I couldn't get it today no matter what I ordered.】
I was wondering why all the restaurants weren't selling fish soup today, but then I saw it trending online and realized they weren't stopping; they'd just sold out long ago.
Viewers who come to watch the live stream through trending topics naturally have different points of interest.
Some people saw that beautiful photo and wanted to admire that beautiful love story.
Some people were drawn in by the title "Kitchen Killer" and wanted to see just how terrifying it could be.
Some people were drawn to the last headline, and only after reading it did they understand why they couldn't order their favorite dishes tonight.
But whatever their reasons for flocking to this live stream.
Undeniably, today's viewership is the highest the show has ever achieved in its entire history.
Therefore, the otherwise unremarkable rural life experienced its highlight moment on the very first day of filming.
Chapter 81
==================
"I'll take care of the rest." After finishing her meal, Xiao Yu immediately stood up, ready to take over the cleaning work.
Although no one blamed her for what happened before, Xiao Yu still felt quite guilty.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't step into the kitchen again?" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Yu with a smile. When she saw the girl's face turn red because of her words, Lin Xiaoxiao laughed even more heartily.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't mean any harm by saying that. She just found Xiao Yu's reaction amusing, which gave her an urge to tease him.
Tang Xue reached out and tugged at Lin Xiaoxiao's sleeve. Tang Xue knew Lin Xiaoxiao well, so she knew that Lin Xiaoxiao's words were not malicious.
But those who don't know Lin Xiaoxiao will inevitably overthink things when they hear this.
"Xiao Yu, don't mind her, Xiao Xiao meant no harm." Tang Xue glared at Lin Xiao Xiao with a hint of helplessness.
"I know President Lin meant no harm." Xiao Yu touched her nose; she knew Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't mocking her.
After being glared at by Tang Xue, Lin Xiaoxiao belatedly realized that her words did indeed sound ambiguous.
"Sorry, sorry, I just thought your reaction was funny and I couldn't help but tease you. I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought you were cute."
"Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao's explanation only made things worse. Xiao Yu's face flashed with fear. "I...I...I'll go wash the dishes. Don't worry, I can wash the dishes."
Xiao Yu rushed into the kitchen carrying several empty plates, as if a hungry wolf was chasing her.
"What's wrong with her?" Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, looking completely bewildered.
She didn't seem to have said anything she shouldn't have, so is it that praising someone as cute is no longer fashionable these days? Lin Xiaoxiao's head was truly filled with big question marks.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Seeing that Tang Xue's expression was a little strange, Lin Xiaoxiao reached out and touched her face, then tugged at her clothes.
"It's nothing." Tang Xue stood up. "I'll go check on Xiao Yu."
"Teacher Tang, let me do it. You and President Lin worked hard cooking just now, so let us do the rest."
Shen Mo turned her gaze away from Lin Xiaoxiao and stopped Tang Xue, saying, "We should be allowed to contribute something too."
Since Shen Mo had already said so much, Tang Xue naturally couldn't say anything more. She placed the plate she had just picked up into Shen Mo's hands and said, "I'm going for a walk. I'm a little full."
"Huh?" Xiaoxue, wait for me! Although I still don't understand what's wrong with Tang Xue.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao's body was already many times faster than her mind.
While her mind was still pondering this question, her body had already been very honest in pursuing Tang Xue.
She's getting anxious.
She's jealous! She's jealous!
[Really, Mr. Lin! How could he praise another girl's cuteness in front of his wife? Didn't you see how Ms. Tang Xue's face instantly darkened?]
[Did you guys notice Xiao Yu's expression? Hahaha, it's absolutely hilarious! Look how scared the kid is!]
[Hahaha, Xiao Yu's inner monologue is probably screaming, "Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind? How could you call me cute? How could you call me cute in front of your own wife?!"]
[Hahaha, I can picture it! Help me up, I want to laugh a little longer.]
Just as viewers of the show guessed, Xiao Yu almost threw the bowl in her hand when Lin Xiaoxiao praised her for being cute.
Even after hiding in the kitchen, Xiao Yu was still somewhat shaken.
She patted her chest, hoping that Teacher Tang wouldn't mind. She was a serious CP fan and would absolutely not allow herself to have a name in the two of them.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Yu's reaction puzzled Shen Mo.
In Shen Chenmo's view, Xiao Yu had successfully caught Lin Xiaoxiao's attention, so all she needed to do next was to put in a little more effort to get Lin Xiaoxiao to pay even more attention to her.
But Xiao Yu's reaction just now was as if she was afraid of getting involved with Lin Xiaoxiao. Could it be that Xiao Yu was playing hard to get?
"Ah! It's nothing, it's nothing." Xiao Yu calmed her heart, which was pounding wildly with fright.
Lin Xiaoxiao, who had followed Tang Xue out, saw Tang Xue watering the flowers with a watering can in the yard.
"Xiaoxue, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Xiaoxiao tugged at Tang Xue's sleeve, her eyes filled with worry.
"No, I don't." Tang Xue glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao. "Do I look like I'm feeling unwell?"
Lin Xiaoxiao observed carefully and seemed to find that Tang Xue was indeed not uncomfortable.
"Did I say something I shouldn't have?" Lin Xiaoxiao hadn't forgotten that Tang Xue's gaze had been a little strange before, and her attitude afterward had also been a bit off.
Tang Xue remained silent, tilting her head to look at Lin Xiaoxiao. Seeing the blank look on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, she sighed inwardly.
Tang Xue squatted down by the flower bed, holding the watering can, and continued what she had been doing. "You really like Xiao Yu?"
When she asked this question, Tang Xue didn't look at Lin Xiaoxiao; her gaze remained fixed on the showerhead in her hand, as if she didn't care about the answer at all.
But her tightly pursed lips, taut facial features, and the slight force with which she gripped the showerhead all indicated that she was not at peace.
"You mean Xiao Yu?" Lin Xiaoxiao squatted down next to Tang Xue. "I have a pretty good impression of her. I think this girl is quite interesting."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt that Xiao Yu was a simple person with no bad intentions, and she would blush easily when you teased her.
Of course, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have any bad intentions; she just found it quite interesting.
Tang Xue tightened her grip on the showerhead. "So you like this type?"
"Huh?" Lin Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered. Why did she feel like there was something wrong with what she was saying?
And isn't the phrase "the type of person you like" usually used to describe what type of person you like?
"I just felt that the little girl was simple and didn't have any bad intentions. Every time I teased her, her reaction was particularly interesting."
"As for the type you like..." Lin Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, tilting her head to look at Tang Xue's profile.
She smiled and said, "You're exactly my type. Don't forget, in the hearts of many netizens, I belong to you."
"What belongs to me?" Tang Xue rolled her eyes at Lin Xiaoxiao, her hand holding the showerhead trembling uncontrollably.
This person is really something, always saying things that move her heart but are also easy for her to misunderstand, regardless of the occasion or place.
The way Lin Xiaoxiao said it made it sound like they really were a couple.
Tang Xue's heart trembled, and a bittersweet feeling filled her heart.
Tang Xue felt as if someone had stuffed a handful of bitter herbs into her mouth, a rather complicated sensation that made her frown uncomfortably.
"Hehe." Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled foolishly, but a hint of disappointment was hidden in her lowered eyes.
I thought our CEO Lin was going to be kneeling on a washboard when she got home, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless.
[Mr. Lin's line, "I belong to you," was so sweet!]
Am I the only one who feels there's something odd about the atmosphere between the two of them?
[It's just my imagination, I didn't expect our CEO Lin to be so good at sweet-talking people.]
