Chapter 162: Embarrassing in Every Way
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sisters did not sit together during breakfast and they did not interact much when they were doing missions. With such tell-tale signs, it would be strange for one to expect them to be fine.
Meng Chuyuan sighed softly. “For her to have held it in up until now, she must have accumulated a lot of pent up dissatisfaction.”
Lu Jinsen frowned and asked, “Can’t it be that the production team privately requested them to exaggerate the fight for the variety show, because the two of them have been stuck together for too long ?”
Among the three groups of permanent guests, the sisters were inseparable and always helped each other. They never had any disagreements or difficulties. They were probably the team that performed the best in front of the audience.
However, this conflict between the sisters that arose from some unknown reason caused the guests and the audience in the live-stream to be dumbfounded.
Meng Chuyuan: “Look at the director’s anxious and confused expression. It’s obvious that he wants to solve the problem. Do you still think that it might be an act for the variety show?”
Anyway, she didn’t believe it.
Especially since she heard Qi Zhen and Qi Yan’s conversation in the small house last night. Although she was a little surprised when she found out, she didn’t feel anything after thinking about it.
Qi Zhen was as gentle as jade in front of outsiders, but he had another side to him where he treated his sister Qi Yan harshly in private. In their secret confrontation, they were evenly matched.
Although she couldn’t understand the Liao sisters’ conflict, seeing that Liao Jiayan had repressed so much of her emotions that it resulted in her having an outburst in front of the camera, Meng Chuyuan felt that the issue probably wasn’t a small one.
Meng Chuyuan had never interacted with Liao Jiayan, but after filming variety shows together for so long, her impression of Liao Jiayan was that she was quiet and serious.
For such an obedient person to become like this, there must have been a gradual process in between.
The director was not good at persuading people. After all, he did not know what was going on either.
However, he had just eaten someone else’s beef noodles. When he saw the two of them arguing, he felt that he had unintentionally roped himself into their situation.
Ting Jiu saw that the director’s arrival was useless. As the only boy in the venue other than the director, he took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.
He raised his head slightly and said to Liao Jiake, “She already said she doesn’t want to eat, don’t ask her about it anymore.”
Liao Jiake’ s face was livid. After hearing Ting Jiu’s words, she felt embarrassed.
[Little Brother Jiu is so warm-hearted. I always thought that boys who played eSports all acted like straight men.]
[But… Ke Ke only asked because she was concerned about her sister. If she doesn’t want to eat, so be it. Why is she throwing a tantrum for no reason?]
[Why does it sound like he’s standing on Liao Jiayan’s side? It was clearly the younger sister who lost her temper with Ke Ke first.]
[My Jiu Jiu is young and he said this out of kindness. If you want to quarrel about this, please don’t rope him into the conversation. Thank you.]
After a long while, seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, the director said, “Alright, since everyone is back, that’s all for today’s mission. Everyone, think of a way to settle tomorrow’s breakfast. We won’t be preparing it for you.”
On the last day of filming, the director and the others also wanted to have a good rest and sleep in like the guests.
This was also the reason why the production team did not take back the remaining funds from the guests.
The director said, “Let’s go to the pottery studio later and retrieve the handmade pottery we made.”
The six guests returned to the pottery hall again. The boss had already finished firing the clay products they had made that day and brought them out for everyone to claim.
The final ceramic products were quite beautiful. The flaws that were present during the molding process after being glazed and put through a long heating process seemed to have no effect on the aesthetics of the finished product.
The guests only briefly glanced at the tea sets they had made before asking the production crew to put them away and store them.
Ting Jiu held up the mug that had the word ‘Jiu’ engraved on the bottom of it. When he saw how beautiful the color of it was, he suddenly felt a little proud.
“Sister Chuyuan, look. I made this cup.”
Meng Chuyuan glanced at it and dished out a precise critique, “Is that a water tank? It’s bigger than my face.”
“Even if it’s a water tank, I still like it. After all, I made it myself.”
Ting Jiu pouted and hugged the cup to his chest like it was a treasure. Then, he glanced at the bowl on the table that had not been taken avvay and said, “This bowl is ridiculous. It’s round yet not round, it’s not exactly elliptical either.”
The bowl was rather unsightly. Even if it were to be used to scoop rice, it would still cause his appetite to be reduced by half.
Just as Ting Jiu was complaining about the bowl and the camera filmed a close-up of it, a hand suddenly took the bowl away.
The live- stream camera moved towards the direction of the hand, revealing Liao Jiake.
Ting Jiu’s face immediately fell. He had not expected to be criticizing the bowl in front of the person who made it.
He looked at Liao Jiake and said in embarrassment, “Sister, I was just joking. I didn’t mean anything else. Don’t be unhappy.”
Seeing that no one had come to get the bowl, he thought that someone else had made it and that the boss had accidentally mixed it in with theirs.
How could he have known that the bowl belonged to Liao Jiake?
For a long time, Liao Jiake did not dare to come over to take the bowl. She just felt that it was a little ugly and was too embarrassed to take it in front of everyone. However, on second thought, if she did not take it now, it could attract more attention in the end.
Hence, Liao Jiake came over. However, it just so happened that Ting Jiu and Meng Chuyuan were chatting beside the bowl, even randomly mentioning it in their conversation.
Liao Jiake’s lips curled into an awkward smile. “I’m sorry. It is a little ugly. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”
[Little Jiu Jiu, why are you talking so much? Hahahaha]
[Liao Jiake might seem fine on the outside, but in her heart, she’s probably cursing him out.]
[No way!! Is this really the bowl Ke Ke made that day? It looks so strange. Was her mood affected because she was fighting with her sister that day?] [Doesn’t she like to make pottery? How did it end up like that?]
[Sister in front, there’s a saying ‘Even if one is a noob in what they do, they can still be persistent in doing it”. Just because she likes to make pottery, doesn’t mean that she can do it well. Just like me with games, I like to play them even though I can’t play well.]
Liao Jiayan took the vase she had made and looked at the bowl in Liao Jiake’s hand. Even after being criticized by Ting Jiu like that just now, she still didn’t confess the truth.
Ting Jiu was afraid that she would hold a grudge because of this matter, so he quickly rephrased his words. “No, I think that it looks quite nice, it’s special.”
Although the bowl looked a little strange, it was still alright overall. After going through the firing process, it looked better than when it was made of clay.
However, Liao Jiake was not very happy when she heard this. She still looked as embarrassed as ever and the smile that appeared on her face seemed very unnatural.
After a while, she reluctantly said to Ting Jiu, “Thank you.”
After Liao Jiake left, Ting Jiu heaved a sigh of relief.
Meng Chuyuan watched a good show for free. When she saw Ting Jiu’s nervous expression, she smiled and said softly, “Little Jiu, I especially admire you.”
He knew when to yield and when to stand tall. If he said something wrong, he would immediately correct himself. His EQwas quite high.
“Sister Chuyuan, don’t laugh at me.” Ting Jiu was a little embarrassed and wished he could dig a hole and hide in it.
Meng Chuyuan comforted him. “It’s not a big deal. Don’t take it to heart..”
