CH 32

Ruan Jinghong explained to the little girl for a while, but she didn't know whether it was because of her substandard accent or the little girl's hearing loss.

In short, the more she explained, the more the little girl was convinced of the girlfriend relationship between her and Wen Jin and offered a lot of blessings with a naive face.

For the first time, Ruan Jinghong realized that the little devil was so difficult to deal with. She bit her lips and looked as if she was about to cry.

"Okay, don't you want to take pictures? Then come and take pictures." Wen Jin's attitude towards this strange little girl was very kind, not at all as cold as she usually treats strangers.

"Teacher Wen?" Ruan Jinghong turned her head in surprise when she heard the sound.

With Teacher Wen's level and status, can she take photos with anyone on the road?

Wen Jin saw Ruan Jinghong's doubts, and smiled, "It's okay, let the kid be happy."

She said and waved to the little girl, "Use your mobile phone to take pictures, do you want to stand in the middle?"

"Yeah!" The little girl nodded heavily, and happily ran behind the two of them, commanding like a little photographer, "Can you two get closer, can you make a 'heart'?"

Why does the little devil ask so much? Ruan Jinghong stood where she was, and smiled slightly embarrassed.

"OK," Wen Jin was very patient with the little girl, and even earnestly educated Ruan Jinghong who was reluctant.

"Cooperate a bit, don't spoil the fun for the kid."

Ruan Jinghong had no choice but to put her palms on her chest, with her thumb and index finger interlaced, showing a small 'heart'

On the other hand, Wen Jin's arms were bent, her head tilted to one side, showing half a big heart.

"Click!"

The sound of taking pictures on the mobile phone sounded, and a group photo of each other was born.

Wen Jin took the little girl's cell phone and looked at it. She was very dissatisfied with the photo, "This one wasn't taken well, why don't we take another one."

"Can I take another picture?" The little girl's eyes lit up when she heard this.

You can't.

Ruan Jinghong muttered in her heart, but saw Wen Jin handing the phone back to the little girl, "Come on, take another picture."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head and told Ruan Jinghong, "You have to make a heart like what I did just now so that we can form a whole heart. Do you usually have no fans to do hearts with?"

I usually do hearts with fans, and I always make my hearts with two fingers. How can one person make big hearts?

Ruan Jinghong complained in her heart, but still followed Wen Jin's instructions, bent her arms, tilted her head to the side, and connected her fingertips to Wen Jin's, making a big "heart" together.

This time the photo was taken perfectly. Wen Jin looked at the screen of the little girl's mobile phone and nodded with satisfaction, "The camera quality is good, please add me to WeChat and post this photo as well. Send me a copy.  "

The little girl was very happy with her beautiful sister's request and quickly added Wen Jin's WeChat to send her the high-definition photos.

Ruan Jinghong, who was on the side, smacked her tongue secretly: Teacher Wen's WeChat, if this is any fan in China, it will be crazy.

"Goodbye, beautiful sister. I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years." After passing the photo, the little girl waved goodbye to the two.

Ruan Jinghong couldn't help being curious when she saw Wen Jin's face full of spring breeze, "Teacher Wen, do you like children very much?"

Wen Jin's eyes met Ruan Jinghong's, and after staying still for a second, she said calmly, "Mm, I like cute children."

Hearing this, Ruan Jinghong felt a little depressed for some reason: Teacher Wen is so gentle and patient, she will definitely be a very good mother in the future. I don't know who will be lucky enough to be her partner and child. Teacher Wen is so good, I can't imagine what kind of person can be worthy of her in the future. Such a perfect woman, why do you need to look for a partner?!

After thinking about it, Ruan Jinghong realized that her thoughts were a little extreme, she looked like a toxic fan.

No matter how perfect a person is, she still has the right to pursue happiness. I should wish Teacher Wen to meet someone as perfect as her in the future.

Wen Jin didn't know that Ruan Jinghong's small brain had already run eighteen laps in such a short time. She raised the bonus in her hand,

"Let's go, Teacher Wen will take you to eat delicious food."

There are various restaurants on the Parade Street, including Korean cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Chinese cuisine, and French cuisine.

Wen Jin led Ruan Jinghong past many houses, and after finally asking for her opinion, the two entered a seafood restaurant.

Compared with the billboards with colorful flashing lights and slogans at the entrance of other online celebrity stores, the paper stand signs of this store are much simpler.

The best sign in the store is the fresh ingredients.

Customers standing outside can see the large water tanks placed on both sides of the door through the window of the store. In one tank, there are live lobsters that are no longer than the length of an arm, and in the other tank, there are crawling hairy crabs about the size of a man's head.

As soon as they walked into the store, a professional and courteous waiter stepped forward to greet them and led them to a seat next to the window so that they could enjoy the scenery.

Wen Jin took the order booklet handed over by the waiter. There were photos of various seafood delicacies arranged on it. The cameraman and chef seemed to be a bit professional, and just looking at the photos made people's index fingers twitch.

Although there is no price written next to these photos, Wen Jin, a rich woman holding 1000H coins at this time, doesn't feel the slightest panic about it.

She first ordered a signature steamed lobster, and then showed the recipe to Ruan Jinghong, asking her to order what she liked.

Thinking that it was Wen Jin who made the money and entertained the guests after all, Ruan Jinghong was embarrassed to be too extravagant. After turning a few pages, she ordered a plate of mixed rice, and did not forget to raise her head and ask Wen Jin, "Teacher Wen, can I help you order some food?"

Wen Jin glanced at the mixed rice in the photo. It seemed that the portion was too much. She shook her head to express that she didn't need it.

Seeing that the little thing ordered a single dish, Wen Jin had no choice but to take the menu and order.

Judging by the time Ruan Jinghong's eyes stayed on the recipe photo just now, she ticked off fruit pudding, scallops, and fried milk, and also ordered a bowl of seafood noodles for Xiao Chen, the cameraman at the side.

Ruan Jinghong's eyes couldn't help following Wen Jin's finger tapping on the menu, seeing that every dish she ordered was her favorite, her eyes lit up involuntarily.

After Wen Jin handed over the ordered menu to the waiter, she turned her eyes to the little thing who had been quietly staring at her fingers, taking a panoramic view of her reaction just now.

You obviously want to eat, but you don't know how to order it yourself. You're such an awkward little thing.

While waiting for the food to be served, Ruan Jinghong couldn't avoid being embarrassed by the silence, so Ruan Jinghong began to actively search for topics.

"Teacher Wen, I didn't expect that in this foreign restaurant, people are singing Chinese songs, and the voice is quite nice."

"Mm." Wen Jin listened to Ruan Jinghong's words, and sure enough, a hoarse female voice with a sense of story to tell came from the northeast corner of the store.

"I think it's better to let go if you can't restrain it.

Hang on to the naivety that should be there.

The ups and downs lie in joy, anger, and sorrow,

Lose the rope

No one asks if it's a big deal…"

It was "Drowning". Wen Jin had heard it in China before, and the tune was quite nice. When they were ordering food just now, the singer just sang the English chorus, so she couldn't tell it was a Chinese song for a while.

"It's a good song, but why do I feel that the voice is familiar?" Wen Jin said as she got up and looked towards the northeast corner.

Ruan Jinghong also stood up without knowing it: Does it sound familiar? It should be that all the singers who sing this song have similar vocal tones.

She followed Wen Jin's gaze. The person singing on the small high platform was not only familiar to her ears but also familiar to her eyes.

Isn't that Huo Yitong who just had breakfast with them this morning? And the one next to her who was playing the violin accompaniment, isn't that Jin Ziyi?

Didn't the two of them also go to the online popular shop to record VCR? Why did they come to this shop to perform?

After the song was over, Ruan Jinghong came to the stage and waved to Jin Ziyi.

When Jin Ziyi saw the familiar little sister, her eyes lit up. But suddenly remembered something, hesitantly did not leave the seat.

After Wen Jin negotiated with the store manager, Jin Ziyi and Huo Yitong walked off the stage.

"Ziyi, why are you performing in this restaurant?" After returning to their seat Ruan Jinghong finally asked the doubts that had been pent up in her heart just now.

"Hmph, don't even mention it, I never thought that a good female star like me would be reduced to the point where I have to pay off my debts by performing after I come to a restaurant for a meal.

Seeing her familiar little sister, Jin Ziyi finally had a chance to vent her feelings. She poured out the details of how she and Huo Yitong found this seafood store to check in, and how they were told that their balance was not enough when they ordered food and paid the bill. In the end, they had to stay and perform to pay their debts.

After hearing this, Ruan Jinghong secretly sighed: Even with the thin envelope given by the program group, you dare to enter this kind of seafood restaurant.

When she first ordered, she saw that there was no price on the menu of this restaurant, and she didn't know how much she would consume in the end.

"Then how much do you two still owe this store?" Ruan Jinghong tentatively asked.

"87H coins, I didn't order the signature lobster in their store, but ordered some ordinary seafood. I didn't expect..." Jin Ziyi regretted it when she thought about it.

87H coins, that's okay, Teacher Wen should have enough money to pay the bill.

Ruan Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Huo Yitong, who had been silent all this time, became annoyed when she saw Jin Ziyi's stupidity, "You have the nerve to say, I said before that it would be good to check in at a handmade pottery shop, but you insist on going to some seafood shop, and you chose one that is so expensive for a seafood restaurant that doesn’t list prices if you don’t sell your performances to repay your debts, who will repay them?”

Jin Ziyi knew she was in the wrong, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't I just want to find a restaurant where I can clock in, where I can eat and complete tasks so that I can kill two birds with one stone? Who would have known that the price of this restaurant is so high..."

The more she spoke, the more she lost confidence, and the more she lost her voice.

"So, have you been singing in this seafood shop all afternoon?" Wen Jin's voice carried a slight sneer, it's really hard to detect if one doesn't listen carefully.

"To be precise, it was from 12:30 pm to now." Huo Yitong let out a long breath.

"Don't make a bitter face. I just won a competition, and now I have 1000H coins. This time, I will do something good and help you settle the bills together." Wen Jin took out the prize and shook her hand, with a little bit of bragging Jin Ziyi looked at the thick envelope in Wen Jin's hand, her eyes were filled with amazement.

Sister Huo and I sold songs here all afternoon, but we haven't earned enough 87H coins yet. Senior Wen wins a game in such a short time, and she actually got 1000H coins! This comparison is a bit tragic.

Apparently, Jin Ziyi was not the only one who had this kind of thought. Ruan Jinghong's eyes once again ignited the light of admiration: I always knew that Teacher Wen is very powerful. But, I realized that she is even more powerful than imagined!

Huo Yitong, who has known Wen Jin for many years, felt a little depressed: If I hadn't sung here until my voice was almost hoarse, I wouldn't want to owe Bingshan face a favor, she would be smug again later.

Wen Jin added two more dishes for the two who had been performing all afternoon on an empty stomach. After chatting for a while, the dishes were brought to the table one after another.

Lobsters, hairy crabs, and scallops all look appetizing.

Jin Ziyi and Huo Yitong, who had been working part-time to repay their debts all afternoon, were the most hungry at this time. Thinking that they had already owed favors anyway, they didn't intend to be polite anymore and started to move one after another.

Ruan Jinghong, who was at the side, also felt her mouth watering as she saw so many delicacies on the table. However, she looked down at the big plate of mixed rice in front of her, and couldn't help but grimace.

The rice smells delicious, but it is such a big plate. If she eats it all, she won't be able to eat anything else, but if she doesn't finish it, it will be a waste of food.

Seeing Ruan Jinghong's reaction, Wen Jin had expected it in her heart, and she said casually, "I want to eat some rice right now, Ruanruan, can you give me half of this plate of rice?"

As soon as Ruan Jinghong heard what she wanted, she didn't care what Wen Jin said just now, and nodded hurriedly, "Of course, I just haven't eaten yet, so I'll give you half of the bowl right now, Teacher Wen."

On the side, Huo Yitong looked at the little girl who had been rumored to be having an affair with Wen Jin, who was actively distributing food into an empty porcelain bowl, her rosy little face was full of joy that couldn't be concealed.

She really is a simple-minded person.

Huo Yitong turned her head and saw Wen Jin's doting look on her face, and she knew it in her heart.

Her scrutinizing eyes happened to meet Wen Jin's when she raised her head, and the two looked at each other for a short while, knowing each other's understanding.

This meal was a great time for both guests and hosts. With the help of Wen Jin's friendship, Jin Ziyi and Huo Yitong, who had paid off their debts and filled their stomachs, didn't record the VCR in the store until late at night.

The four of them went back to the courtyard designated by the program group and just happened to see that Yin Xiang and Zhong Manyun's group had handed over the VCR to the program group.

After the two groups that arrived later also handed in their respective VCRs, a new round of CALL process with loudspeakers was ushered in.

"The guests in each group had a fulfilling day at the Parade Street today. Now the program group has received the VCRs recorded by each group, and these will be released online simultaneously on the day when the first episode of the program is broadcast.

"Before that, the guest's vacation trip in W Town will continue.

"At the end of the day, guests from all groups are required to participate in a small game.

"The name of the game is 'You Play, I Guess'.

"The program group will give some words, two guests in each group, one person will perform based on the words, and the other will guess the words based on the partner's performance.

"Performers cannot directly say the words."

The team who guessed the most words correctly within a certain time wins.

"The time has come to test the tacit understanding of the members of each group. The group ranked first, in the end, will be given the privilege to designate the group ranked last to do one thing.

"Now, let each group of guests determine who will guess the word and perform, and extract the order of appearance."

The first team to play was Jin Ziyi and Huo Yitong's team.

Jin Ziyi was in charge of acting, and Huo Yitong has to guess.

Most of the words drawn by their group were the characters and titles of some classic films and television dramas.

Jin Ziyi is worthy of being a powerful faction among florets. Every character imitated is lifelike and penetrating.

And Huo Yitong was able to get her meaning very quickly, and could always give an accurate answer the first time she made an action.

The fastest answer to a question took only three seconds. Jin Ziyi just made a movement of spreading her arms and wings, but Huo Yitong was able to guess that it was "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

Ruan Jinghong, who was on the side, was dumbfounded: Their group couldn't be... stealing questions, right?

How did Ziyi and Teacher Huo, who usually seems so cold, manage to share their brains?

After three minutes of word guessing, the first group guessed a total of ten words, with an average of 18 seconds to guess one word!

This made Ruan Jinghong, who will be playing next, immediately feel a lot of pressure: I don't expect to be the first, but I hope I won't be the last.

In contrast, Wen Jin seemed confident, and said calmly: "It's okay, I'm definitely smarter than Huo Yitong, just feel free to act."

Given Wen Jin's reliability all along, Ruan Jinghong, who got the promise, gained two points of confidence, and she stepped forward to take the word board prepared by the program group.

The first word: osteoporosis

Ruan Jinghong thought for a while, and compared the four words first, she tapped her arm lightly with one hand and then fell to the ground in a limp state.

After watching it, Wen Jin said firmly, "Dying."

Ruan Jinghong shook her head, showed her wrist bone, and tapped it, hoping that Wen Jin could think of the bone.

Wen Jin's eyes were fixed on the wrist as white as jade, and she blurted out,

"Hands like catkins? Skin like cream?"*

*lines from one of the poems in The Book of Songs·Wei Feng·Shu Ren, describing the slender and tender hands of a woman

Ruan Jinghong: ...

This wave of praise came unexpectedly, but isn't it too far off-topic?

Seeing that Wen Jin strayed far from the topic, Ruan Jinghong was a little anxious, and knocked on her arm even more vigorously, shaking her body and falling. She acted osteoporosis as bones falling apart.

After answering wrong several times in a row, Wen Jin's expression became serious: This form looks familiar, could it be…

"Plants vs. Zombies!"

Four characters*!

*Gu zhi shu song- Chinese word for osteoporosis

Ruan Jinghong wanted to cry but had no tears, so she said "pass", ushering in the new word.

Second word: Strong and powerful (Kong wu You li)

This is simple.

Ruan Jinghong thought for a while, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her thin arms, clenched a fist with one hand, tried to bulge her muscles, and pointed at herself with the other.

Wen Jin looked at that white, tender and beautiful arm, and was puzzled for a long time, so she decided to simply adopt the mode of casting a wide net, uttering a string of words in one breath, like reporting the name of a dish.

"Slender and delicate hands, pure and flawless, watery lotus, heavenly beauty, weak willows and wind, beautiful and delicious, sinking fish and falling geese, closed moon and shameful flowers..."

*these are all Chinese idioms/phrases describing a woman's breath-taking beauty

Ruan Jinghong:

Do we understand the same meaning?

Ruan Jinghong tried to make gestures in different ways for a long time, but Wen Jin's understanding direction was always the opposite of what she wanted to express. One question is passed and another question is passed, and soon enough, their time of three minutes was up.

Looking at the results at the end, the number of words guessed was zero.

They have broken a record in another sense.

Yin Xiang and Zhong Manyun's team, who played last, did not perform well. 

They guessed three questions correctly and ranked second.

The loudspeaker sounded in time.

"The results of this game are out: the first place is Huo Yitong & Jin Ziyi team who guessed ten words, the second place is Yin Xiang & Zhong Manyun who guessed three words, and the third place...... who guessed zero words  Wen Jin & Ruan Jinghong team.

"Now, Huo Yitong and Jin Ziyi's team, who are ranked first, can appoint Wen Jin and Ruan Jinghong's team, who are ranked at the bottom, to complete one thing."
