Mmm, This Earthly Scent

[Hahaha! It really was her!]

[I can testify. Last time, she was so pretentious and got scolded by the old captain!]

[I wonder why the old captain had such a big reaction just now? Turns out he gave her a trauma!]

[Sorry, but not only was our Yuanbao not kicked out, she also got quite a lot of spoils. Are you envious or not?]

[Envy is impossible, but jealousy is definitely there! Hahaha...]

If jealous gazes could kill, Nian Yiran's gaze at Song Jianyi at this moment would have pierced her heart a thousand times. Unfortunately, Song Jianyi completely treated her as if she were invisible!

After Qiu Tianhao took the vegetables into the kitchen, Song Jianyi started preparing dinner. Qi Yu rolled up his sleeves and silently helped on the side. Seeing that even the esteemed Qi Yu was personally assisting Song Jianyi, the others couldn't just lie around. They hurriedly rushed into the kitchen, washing and cutting the vegetables.

Song Jianyi focused on cooking at the stove while the others handled the preparation tasks. Before long, a variety of delicious seafood dishes appeared on the dining table in the grand villa.

Nian Yiran had been hungry for a whole day and night. Since she spent her last 50 yuan on a "ball" in the morning, she didn't even have spare change to buy a bottle of water. Now, looking at the red hairy crabs being brought to the table and the majestic Australian lobsters exuding a tempting aroma, her stomach grumbled with hunger.

Qiu Tianhao said, "Yiran, quickly bring the bowls and chopsticks for dinner!"

Nian Yiran replied, "I'm not hungry."

"Aren't you hungry? Just have a little bit."

"No need, I..."

"She didn't give me any meal expenses!"

Song Jianyi brought out a large hotpot, the aroma wafting through the air, and glanced at Nian Yiran. Immediately, Nian Yiran stood up as if her tail had been stepped on, saying, "Who cares about your food? Eating, eating, eating, aren't you afraid of eating so much seafood and freezing the child in your stomach to death?"

Song Jianyi put down the hotpot and asked one of the staff members, "Pregnant women can't eat seafood?"

"Crabs are considered cold in nature, so it's better not to eat too much."

"What a pity!"

Seafood dishes were her favorite!

Finally, Nian Yiran saw a hint of regret on Song Jianyi's face, and she raised her chin in satisfaction.

"Some people have to eat humble pie!"

Qi Yu brought out a steak and overheard her words.

He silently placed it in front of Song Jianyi and then sat down in his own seat.

[Wow! Did Master Qi personally fry a steak for Song Jianyi?]

[What's going on? Master Qi, you wouldn't be...]

"Just practicing, accidentally messed up the steak."

[Haha! So Master Qi was just using Song Yuanbao as a guinea pig. You scared me!]

[Master Qi, I have no objection if you want to learn cooking! Song Jianyi is a foodie, so feel free to send everything to her. No wasting ingredients!]

Indeed, it was all about not wasting. Although Qi Yu reluctantly said he messed up the steak, Song Jianyi was happily waving her knife and fork, thoroughly enjoying the meal.

When she picked up her juice and looked at Nian Yiran in the corner, she mischievously narrowed her eyes and said, "Hmm, this humble pie tastes amazing!"

[Master Qi, I want to eat humble pie too. How about frying another piece for me?]

[Me too, me too!]

At the dining table, Guan Yutong quietly observed Song Jianyi and Qi Yu while enjoying her lobster.

Perhaps others hadn't noticed, but she knew that ever since Master Qi arrived yesterday, his attention had been focused on Song Jianyi.

The excuse of messing up the steak was just an excuse.

Even though his culinary skills were top-notch, he never cooked for others.

But today, he made an exception for Song Jianyi...

"Master Qi, do you and Jianyi have any plans for tomorrow?" she casually asked. Xia Yi added, "Tomorrow is our free activity day! Each CP can choose their own place for a date. Geyao and I are already prepared to go out to sea." Qi Yu glanced at Song Jianyi and noticed the foodie's eyes fixed on the lobster, causing her mouth to water. Their conversation was automatically blocked by the Greedy Eater system! Qi Yu peeled a piece of lobster meat and placed it in her bowl. The woman instantly looked at him with shining eyes.

"Is it okay?"

"Mhm!"

Excited! Grateful!

Guan Yutong: "..."

Seizing the opportunity, she asked, "Jianyi, have you been to Immortal Island? If you and Master Qi don't have plans tomorrow, our two groups can go to Immortal Island together. There are many rare birds there, it's very interesting."

Song Jianyi asked, "Is there good food?"

"Well..."

"Can we earn points?"

"Not possible."

"Then why go to the island? Not interested."

While speaking, Song Jianyi glanced at Qi Yu.

If Qi Yu wanted to go, she didn't mind.

However, Qi Yu also said, "We have plans for tomorrow."

Guan Yutong asked, "What plans?"

"Helping the old captain with the crops!"

[Hahaha! Listen to Master Qi's serious excuse, isn't he just rejecting her?]

[Hilarious! Song Jianyi only thinks about earning money and points even on their free date day. How did Master Qi end up with her?]

[Some people are just envious but can't do anything about it. Hahaha...]

Nian Yiran, the most obvious person showing envy, couldn't help but wait until everyone left the dining room before sneaking in and sipping some soup.

When she came out, she ran into Guan Yutong sitting alone in the small garden, looking gloomy. She avoided the cameras and hunched over as if secretly crying. Song Jianyi walked over and asked, "Do you like Master Qi?"

"Who participates in the show without coming for Master Qi? Don't you like him?"

Guan Yutong replied.

"Heh!"

Nian Yiran sneered.

Master Qi, he was like the sun on the horizon, anyone would want a taste of him with just a touch of sunlight. But these past two days, all the goodwill she had with Master Qi had been ruined by that wretched Song Jianyi. Want to get close to him and win his favor? Almost impossible!

However...

A cunning look fell upon Guan Yutong, and she quietly squatted down. "If you need it, I can come up with a solution for you..."

...

Song Jianyi was too busy last night and hadn't had a chance to send out Qi Yu's autographed photo. Now, her secondary account was being bombarded with reminders. She quickly threw on a black coat, stuffed the autographed photo into her hoodie, and prepared to leave.

There was no one in the living room downstairs, and as she passed by the small garden, she heard faint voices. At first, she didn't pay much attention, but then someone spat and cursed, "Song Jianyi is money-minded! She thinks everything can be done by spending money!"

"But Master Qi..."

"Master Qi doesn't actually like her! He's just helping her out of gentlemanly manners because she's a pregnant woman with no one to take care of her. Yutong, you could just slip her a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, I guarantee she'll gladly give up Master Qi!"
