Qiu Sichuan mindlessly took a bite of the egg custard. Before he could react to how deliciously smooth the egg was, Bai Qi started talking again.
“I’m not a stan, I’m really just kind of like a passerby. But, back then, with the way you stood on stage, even passersby couldn’t help but take another glance at you. I remember you when I see you do popping* on stage, you looked so professional and you completely ran the show. You even ended up on the Weibo Hot Search because of that.”
*Popping here refers to the dance.
He mentioned it in a laid-back manner as if he were casually bringing up a small matter.
Yet, Qiu Sichuan was stunned.
His grip on his spoon tightened as he took a huge spoonful of the egg custard. He didn’t raise his head as he said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
The cameramen were stupefied when they heard this.
Shit!
Whatever Bai Qi just said was even more powerful than “I’m a fan of yours”!  What he said was the highest level of praise one could receive!
“Even passersby couldn’t help but fall for your charm”. Ah, to the ears of a once-popular idol, there was nothing more soul-stirring than hearing something like that.
Qiu Sichuan looked a lot better after he was done eating.
Bai Qi fished out two pieces of milk candy from the basket that he’d brought and passed it to Qiu Sichuan. Qi Sichuan accepted them.
Then, Bai Qi got up again and went to cook up the semi-prepared Jianbing. Then, he ground the soybeans into soy milk using a food processor. Each of them got a cup of soy milk.
Thus, this was how they enjoyed their breakfast.
Qiu Sichuan fought the urge to drool as he caught a whiff of the smell of food.
“How long has this been here?” Bai Qi asked.
Qiu Sichuan felt a little awkward. “This
 I’m not too sure, maybe half a year?”
“I’ll just cook all of it, okay? It’s gonna go bad soon.”
Qiu Sichuan nodded repeatedly.
Qiu Sichuan was not good at making friends and wasn’t one who was easy to get along with either. That was why yesterday he sat in a corner and did not talk much.
Now, the detachment from the outside world that could be seen through his eyes was a lot less prominent.
After the Jianbing was done, Xu Yi took them and shared them with the other guests.
The other guests only had a few bites of bread, and it was so dry, but well
 they didn’t know how to make other dishes. When Xu Yi saw the scrumptious Jianbing and soy milk, he couldn’t care less that he’d already eaten and dug in. Thus, everyone ended up sharing and finishing every last bite.
“This is the first time I’ve ever eaten such good Jianbing!” Yang Yiru couldn’t help but sigh.
The rest nodded in agreement.
In the afternoon

Yang Yiru and the rest were still concerned about what they should do with the ingredients, and how to crank out some food

Here, Bai Qi had successfully made quite a few dishes.
Oil-braised prawns, Chinese sour cabbage soup, roasted pumpkin
 These were normal dishes found in every household, but whilst enduring the snowy weather, the smell of these dishes was enough to stir up people’s cravings.
Like before, the food made was also shared with the other guests, though it was already a little cold when they received it.
Yang Yiru’s eyes sparkled. “It’s cold? It’s okay! It’ll taste good even if it’s cold! Oh, and we have a microwave oven if we really need to heat it anyway!”
She picked up the insulation barrel and went on her way.
No matter what the guests had thought before joining the show, they were now clearly on cloud nine; they felt that the need for them to cook for themselves isn’t that worrisome anymore. Wasn’t this a sign of hope for them?
Outside of the shot, A-Da wiped his face.
He didn’t expect Bai Qi to be even more of a natural during the second day.
It seemed like he’d forgotten about Xi-ge

Just as that thought crossed A-Da’s mind, Bai Qi turned around and asked the staff, “When is Xi-ge going to be here?”
As soon as Xi Chengyun got off the plane, he logged into his Weibo account and posted a picture.
It was a picture that was taken when he was on the plane; a photo of the clouds. The composition of the picture was perfect, and the clouds were also very beautiful.
This was the first post he made after the incident was left to ‘ferment’ for a day.
Countless comments flooded Xi Chengyun’s Weibo page.
Between the multitude of comments, a comment was inconspicuously slotted in:【Is Xi-ge on his way to the filming site of ‘The Perfectly Wedded Pair’?】
【Yes】Xi Chengyun typed.
This man never replied to any comments from his fans, paying full attention to his work. He also reminded his fans a couple of times that an actor and their fans should keep a certain distance from each other. This was to honor each piece of work that he’d worked on.
This very man, Xi Chengyun, for the first time ever, replied to a comment.
It was just one word.
However, this one word shot to the top of the Hot Search again.
With one word, he had addressed all the questions directed at him concisely and powerfully:
He didn’t plan to hide his marriage. He will deal with the topic regarding his marriage gracefully, and not warily.
Xi Chengyun was really married.
The fan who Xi Chengyun replied to hugged their head. At that point, they didn’t know if they should cry because of the marriage, or to first be happy that their idol replied to them.
On the second floor of Qiu Sichuan’s house, Bai Qi suddenly got up. He took off his apron and said, “Byebye, I’ll be leaving first.”
“Where are you going?” By the time Qiu Sichuan managed to voice out his question, Bai Qi was already far away, walking away with an umbrella in hand.
He made a tiny dash over the wet floor.
A car stopped at the entrance of the village. Xi Chengyun opened the door and got out of the car. Bai Qi rushed forward and hugged Xi Chengyun tightly by the waist. Bai Qi was like a beautiful shooting star that fell into Xi Chengyun’s arms.
Momentarily, the scents of both their body wash blended together.
Xi Chengyun froze for a moment, but now, he already has some experience.
He quickly raised his hand and lightly pressed them on the soft strands on Bai Qi’s head.
The cameraman was stunned, employing more energy to carry the camera up.
Little Mr. Bai, who was like a duck to water and who could be all things to all people, suddenly became a sweet sticky little bean when Xi-laoshi arrived.
Qiu Sichuan, Xu Yi, Yang Yiru, and Zhou Yanfeng

Tonight, everyone’s dinner vanished due to Xi Chengyun’s arrival.
