CHAPTER 190: CHAPTER 66: SNACKS THAT CAPTURE HEARTS

However, while feeling uncomfortable, Du Xixi also felt a bit disappointed. After all, before coming here, she had planned to use this opportunity to promote food, but since the kitchen couldn’t be used, the chance to promote delicious food naturally slipped away from her.

But it’s just a three-day and two-night stay in a villa; even if you have a lot of money, special renovations for the kitchen would seem a bit wasteful to Du Xixi.

However, Du Xixi’s sadness was quickly cured. Ke Lian noticed her momentary low mood and bent down to pat Du Xixi’s head. The warmth of his palm passed through her thick hair and reached her heart, making her forget about those minor emotions.

This little interaction was totally captured by everyone’s eyes. The live stream was filled with the wails of single viewers, while Sun Mulin and others present turned their heads in tacit understanding, not wanting to see Du Xixi and Ke Lian gazing at each other with affection.

Zhang Kongyan and the other two had no chance to join in. As the atmosphere onsite was joyous, they were quietly taken away by staff, and when Du Xixi and the others came back to their senses, they acted as if these three people had never been there.

A happy live stream is the real deal; Du Xixi came here for fun and didn’t want those annoying things weighing on her mind.

The head director slowly exited the scene at this point. If it weren’t for the special status of Du Xixi and Ke Lian, requiring the director’s reception, perhaps the director wouldn’t have shown up from the beginning.

Thinking back, initially expecting just a few ordinary amateur couples, the director had even planned to relax in flip-flops in the control room.

But now, he wore a suit long left in the closet, dusty from years untouched, and even visited a barbershop for a "proper" hairstyle, all to welcome Du Xixi and Ke Lian.

After walking out of the live broadcast range, the head director finally relaxed his straightened back, lightly undoing the top buttons of his shirt, even his breathing seemed a bit heavier, no longer as restrained as before.

The director walked into the control room, where only a few deputy directors he was familiar with were present. Nodding, he had no time for words before he took off his suit jacket, carefully folded it, and placed it in a suitcase brought from home, thinking he might need to wear it again when sending off Du Xixi and the others in a few days.

Although lunch was to be delivered by someone else, Ke Lian and Du Xixi were worried that it would be "Stone Rice", an unpalatable dish, so Ke Lian sent a message to 2569, asking it to bring over some snacks Du Xixi had made from home.

The snacks piled up at home were mostly made for Ke Xing. Du Xixi, along with 2569, made a mountain of snacks, such as pork jerky, chicken strips, dried fruits, and little twists, with lots of flavors that wouldn’t spoil in the Space Button.

Having 2569 specially deliver meals unquestionably disrespects the show; what kind of guest on a reality show has food delivered from home just because they dislike the meals provided?

Even with Du Xixi and Ke Lian’s high status, they can’t be treated specially like this.

Du Xixi didn’t object to Ke Lian’s actions because she was also worried about the meals. Although snacks aren’t very filling, eating more can at least provide some comfort to the stomach.

Du Xixi rested her hand on her pregnant belly, thinking that even if eating too many snacks isn’t good for her health, her Space Button still had specially customized prenatal nutrition supplements from Ke Lian, with improved taste and complete nutrition. Surviving three days and two nights with these wasn’t unacceptable for her.

Sun Mulin secretly decided that he would definitely snag some snacks when the time came. If the show’s meals weren’t tasty, he’d fill up on snacks before leaving!

It’s not that Du Xixi and the others are picky eaters; they’ve been constantly fed with delicious food made by Du Xixi and 2569, making their taste quite refined. The Star Era’s specialty—"Stone Rice"—had long disappeared from their daily meals.

Forget about Ke Lian and Du Xixi, even Sun Mulin, who spends most of his time away from home and can’t sponge meals off the Ke Family, simply ingests a nutrition supplement to fill his stomach.

He would rather consume the thick and sticky nutrition supplement than the throat-irritating "Stone Rice."

The three of them sat on the sofa, watching as the time set by the director team drew near. Just then, the third pair of amateur couples, excluding Li Yimu and his wife, finally entered, led by a strikingly familiar handsome man.
