Chapter 376: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
【What?! She's disfigured and instead of getting proper treatment, she's participating in a variety show? Isn't she afraid her face will completely ruin itself?】
[You don't understand! President He is on the show! What a great opportunity to get to know her! She's even willing to stage a car accident, poured boiling water on herself one minute, and threatened to jump off a building the next. She's so crazy, why would she be afraid of ruining her face?]
【Aaaaaaah, get out of my way, you scoundrel! Don't even think about breaking up my couple!】
[Why hasn't this scoundrel been kicked out of the entertainment industry yet! I'm so worried about the safety of the other guests.]
[Du Nian is so cunning! He's been serving Lin Xinrou for days, and she hasn't even realized he's not a temporary assistant. If he hadn't deliberately kept it a secret, I'd change my mind!]
[Haha, he accepted the resources for free! And he doesn't even expect anything in return? Clearly, that little bit of money isn't enough to satisfy him!]
[Hatemakers, get lost! My baby was just a nineteen-year-old boy who had just entered the industry. He was clearly afraid of offending Lin Xinrou, which is why he didn't dare to speak up. I think Lin Xinrou was doing it on purpose!]
[She definitely has her eye on Nianbao. She deliberately mistook him for someone else, and after discovering that Nianbao treats money like dirt, she pretended to be kind and introduced him to resources, making him grateful so she could then take the opportunity to seduce him!]
[The baby is too naive; that's why she fell for the older woman's tricks!]
[I'm so envious of Ye Feifei! I can't imagine how lively and cheerful I would be if I could also ship couples live!]
Just as the atmosphere on set was getting worse, the production crew finally appeared.
After a brief introduction of the new guests, they were sent off to work. It felt like they had been deliberately brought together to chat beforehand, just to see if they would start fighting.
Once in the kitchen, Lin Xinrou and Du Nian started showing off their affection, even while cooking, they were all sticky and inseparable, determined to be even sweeter than Yun Qing and He Chengyi.
Lin Xinrou, who could barely stand on her own yesterday, is now very much a little woman. The crackling sound from the pot startled her, and she quickly retreated, directly into Du Nian's arms.
Du Nian quickly patted her shoulder and gently comforted her.
Although some viewers thought she was being pretentious, some fans defended her, saying that she didn't need to pretend to be strong because her boyfriend was by her side.
Wen Yu, on the other hand, was showing off his skills and was determined to outshine Yun Qing.
Her cooking skills were clearly better than Lin Xinrou's; she was methodical and composed when cooking, showing no signs of panic.
However, she seemed to have been outshone by He Chengyi.
Who can blame He Chengyi for being a versatile and capable person who can always help Wen Yu slap in the face and contribute his shining moments?
Even when cooking, her skills are more pleasing to the eye and more effortless than others.
He divided the double portion of stir-fried shrimp in half and handed it to Yun Qing, saying, "It's hot in the kitchen, go outside and find a place to sit and eat."
Yun Qing took the shrimp and said blankly, "But I still have to work."
"It's okay, I can manage. You should eat first before you help me. You won't have the strength if you're hungry."
Yun Qing was so enticed by his words and the fragrant shrimp that she completely forgot she had eaten breakfast and snacks and wasn't hungry at all. She nodded and said, "Okay! I'll finish eating soon."
Wen Yu said sarcastically, "Can't some people be a little more professional?"
Yun Qing paused, looked at her, and asked suspiciously, "Are you here to seduce my boyfriend, or to target me? Have you mistaken me for someone else? Wouldn't my leaving just give you an opportunity?"
The audience all felt that Wen Yu was going to such lengths to seduce He Chengyi, and Yun Qing was even more certain of this, after all, she was the other host of that damn system.
He Cheng also judged from the system's attitude that Wen Yu was not opposed to the matchmaking system's forced matchmaking and the inexplicable "soul swap".
As for Yun Qing, who has always been Wen Yu's rival, although she did not treat her as a true opponent, she still knew her quite well.
It goes without saying that Wen Yu, as an "optimistic and resilient" person, would definitely see this as a good opportunity, seize it, and fight hard.
She might even justify herself by thinking that this matter does nothing to harm He Chengyi.
Even though it was also detrimental to He Chengyi, she could only helplessly admit that she was forced into it and could not resist the system.
Then, I discussed it with He Chengyi, and we supported each other to deal with the system together.
As people in the same boat, it's reasonable for He Chengyi to help her when she encounters trouble, right? And it's also reasonable for the two of them to develop feelings for each other over time while keeping a shared secret, right?
In other words, He Chengyi's resistance was fierce enough and his stance was firm enough.
Otherwise, if the system keeps brainwashing him that he and Wen Yu are destined to be together, and he and Wen Yu are forced to become each other's closest and inseparable people, he will eventually be won over by Wen Yu.
It makes me so angry just thinking about it! How is this any different from forcing a woman into prostitution?
Yun Qing was angry, but she couldn't help feeling sorry for her poor boyfriend. Then she heard him say, "If you leave, she won't have a chance either."
Yun Qing was a little happier then and stretched out a hand to make a heart shape with her fingers.
The Matchmaker System said to Wen Yu: [She's right! Can you be a little more serious about your strategy? Even if you're jealous of Song Yunqing, don't always target her. Making yourself look like a villainous supporting character makes it impossible for He Chengyi to like you.]
Can't you just stay calm? Didn't you say that Song Yunqing couldn't beat you before?
Wen Yu took a deep breath in anger, and then heard Yun Qing say, "Just a friendly reminder, the kitchen is hot, and you've been wearing a mask the whole time. Be careful your face gets worse and worse from being covered up."
"Song Yunqing!"
Yun Qing ignored her, picked up the shrimp, and walked away gracefully.
Although Wen Yu doesn't have many fans now, that doesn't stop some people from trying to smear Yun Qing.
[Song Yunqing is so vicious! Wen Yu is already suffering enough from disfigurement, and she keeps rubbing salt into her wounds. How can she be so cruel!]
[Wen Yu is already so down on her luck, even if there were any past grudges, she shouldn't be kicking him while he's down and being so aggressive!]
Wow! Holy Mother! Even the Leshan Giant Buddha has to give way to you!
"The one who starts it is the one who's cheap; wasn't it Wen Yu who started with those sarcastic remarks?"
[Her face is already ruined, and she still wants to be a mistress. What's wrong with poking at her sore spots? It's only because Sister Song isn't hurt that she hasn't been killed!]
Wen Yu was so angry with Yun Qing that she didn't notice that salt had been added to the food in the pot three times.
Yun Qing was sitting in the corner of the restaurant eating shrimp when she was suddenly drawn to a commotion not far away. After listening for a while, she figured it out.
The other party was a Frenchman who loved Chinese food. He was indignantly accusing the hotel chef of insulting Chinese cuisine because the food he ordered was so bad.
They also said that the hotel's hiring of such a chef was disrespectful to Chinese cuisine, and that such a hotel was not worthy of selling Chinese food.
He demanded that the chef who cooked the food apologize to him and to Chinese cuisine!
The noise had attracted a lot of attention, so the waiter had no choice but to agree to go find the chef and ran to the kitchen.
Yun Qing: ... She was very touched that foreign friends praised Chinese food so much, but the hotel that was being criticized belonged to her boyfriend!
She glanced at the cameraman beside her, wondering if she had been filmed.
No! She has to salvage the hotel's reputation!
She didn't believe the hotel chefs were that bad; this person probably hadn't done their research beforehand and had chosen the celebrity service.
Wen Yu was still angry when a waiter approached her, saying there was something wrong with her dish. A French customer had tasted it and was furious, demanding an explanation.
Wen Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with her dishes; on the contrary, she thought that the customer was being unreasonable and trying to extort money from her!
However, she didn't voice her true feelings, and instead nodded politely to the waiter, saying, "I'll go take a look."
Then she turned to He Chengyi and said, "Mr. He, I don't speak French. Could you please translate for me? I'm worried that communication problems might cause misunderstandings and trouble for the hotel."
He Chengyi looked at the food in the pot without even raising his eyes and said, "If you have any intelligence, you should know that either the French guest can speak Chinese or the waiter can speak French. Otherwise, how are they communicating?"
The waiter nodded beside him, "I speak French."
Wen Yu: ...So what if you speak French?
Finally, Wen Yu, holding her breath, went to the restaurant with the waiter.
This actually happened in the original storyline as well.
However, in the original storyline, He Chengyi possessed the body in time, and "Wen Yu" amazed the audience with his fluent French and even made several complicated famous dishes to win over the foreign friend.
That was definitely a highlight moment, and fans have been raving about it for a long time.
