A Favor Done, A Husband Won-Chapter 541 - 535: Sweet Extra – Couples Variety Show 20

But then again, if she went into the kitchen, it would indeed affect the little CP couple’s opportunity to "spar" in cooking and bond.

Shi Su gave up on helping, but she sent Ami a WeChat message asking what ingredients she had prepared for the evening.

Ami sent her several photos of the ingredients prepared by the show’s crew. After Shi Su carefully looked them over, she found some relatively simple recipes that would suit everyone’s taste online and sent them to Ami. She also sent a voice message explaining how to use the seasonings, control the heat, and other important cooking details.

Although they weren’t responsible for cooking the meal, everyone had to have dinner together in the small courtyard of the homestay that night, so they needed to bring out the long table, chairs, and cutlery from inside the house.

The two men staying on the first floor, Hao Jin and Luo Fang, had already started moving things outside when Jing Jihan noticed and got up to help.

"No need, no need, we can handle it," Hao Jin quickly tried to stop him with a cheerful smile. His arm muscles were well-defined, clearly showing he was an action actor with high fitness standards. His skin was a bit dark, likely because he recently finished shooting a drama and went to the southwest for filming. The environment was harsh, with a lot of sun exposure. However, he was still quite young, and from his eyes, you could tell he was a straightforward and simple-minded actor.

Precisely because he was young, he had encountered many capitalists in the industry, instinctively feeling a sense of fear. Even though Jing Jihan’s appearance and physique were on par with theirs, and regardless of how easygoing he seemed, they still instinctively viewed him as part of the capitalist group. Even if they didn’t show any fear on the outside, they were still afraid of offending him and didn’t dare to trouble him.

Jing Jihan didn’t say any unnecessary words, brushed away Hao Jin’s stopping hand, and simply uttered two words, "Together."

Hao Jin was taken aback, nodded, withdrew his hand, and without further pleasantries, turned around to continue moving the tables and chairs.

Luo Fang, standing nearby, laughed and said while moving stuff, "Mr. Jing, is this your first time on a show like this?"

After asking, Luo Fang kept smiling outwardly but regretted a bit inside, thinking he might not get a response and could be ignored.

However, Jing Jihan not only responded, but it wasn’t a cold, one-word reply. Instead, it was an extremely composed and calm sentence, like a man patiently chatting with another man: "Yes, it’s my first time. I don’t usually have much time."

As he spoke, the three of them carried out the table, which was about four meters long and one and a half meters wide. Then Jing Jihan withdrew his hands, his gaze lifted, revealing a clear and tranquil expression. There was still an aura of detachment and serenity around him, giving the impression that in this program, it wasn’t necessary to view him as the aloof Mr. Jing. However, his nature didn’t have a habit of getting too warm and close to unfamiliar people, so everyone should communicate as usual. As long as they didn’t try for unnecessary closeness, everything was fine by him.

Some traits and thoughts are shared between men, except Luo Fang and Hao Jin were both artists, inevitably having some personas, unlike Jing Jihan, who leaned toward self-centeredness. They needed more camera time and exposure, whereas Jing Jihan came here just to spend more time with Shi Su when he had the chance. Everyone’s motives were different, so the feelings they presented in front of the camera were naturally different as well.

But current fans are just attracted to this kind of persona-less persona, especially Jing Jihan’s indifferent attitude that didn’t need to fear directors, fans, or any capital or advertising firms. Even though he was trying to fit into this small "team," his innate elegance and transparency still had the fans drooling in the comments...
