A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 78

Fierce and Savage (2)

Suddenly, the bashing in the comments decreased by half.

【This premium meal set includes escargot, foie gras, and blue crayfish... Plus, there’s also our very own delicacy, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall* and Peking duck... Not to forget the after-dinner desserts and drinks… This is so worth 20 Yuan!】

*Buddha Jumps Over the Wall (佛跳墙), also known as Buddha's Temptation or Fotiaoqiang, is a variety of shark fin soup in Fujian cuisine. Since its creation during the Qing dynasty, the dish has been regarded as a Chinese delicacy known for its rich taste, and special manner of cooking.

【F*ck, why can’t I control my mouth, I’m drooling】

The situation in the bullet comments changed instantly.

Some were ordering food delivery, others were searching for junk food.

The camera cut to the scene where Zhou Yanfeng and Fu Chunying entered their deluxe suite. At this point, everyone was hungry.

Fu Chunying got hold of the iPad and took a look at the menu. “...Why is everything so expensive?!”

In the end, they settled for two bowels of Yang Chun noodles*.

* Yang Chun noodles (阳春面) is a popular and comforting breakfast noodle in China. It is served with a simple broth with soy sauce, chopped green onion, lard, or sesame oil. It is also known as plain noodles, as it is made from very few ingredients, and is eaten by “the poor”.

【This is terrible, just too terrible】

The Yang Yiru couple had quite a good dinner and chose to retire to the huge bedroom.

Xu Yi and Qiu Sichuan reached around midnight. At that point, most netizens were already asleep, so not many people noticed their arrival.

The next morning, Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun, who were well-rested and well-fed, headed to the breakfast lounge.

Soon, Qiu Sichuan and Xu Yi were there too. The atmosphere between the two wasn’t as awkward as before. The two likely reached some new level of consensus.

“The program team is too much. Xu Yi and I only had two bowls of noodles yesterday, I can’t even,” Qiu Sichuan said.

Bai Qi was ordering food as he spoke. He didn’t look up as he asked, “So how much do you all have left?”

Qiu Sichuan and Xu Yi also spent some money during the last episode, so clearly, they wouldn’t have much to spare.

Xu Yi replied, “We have 41 Yuan.”

Yang Yiru and the rest arrived one after another. When they heard Xu Yi, they couldn’t help but exclaim, “You’re a rich man!”

Qiu Sichuan smiled. “We always spend the least on everything.”

Yang Yiru sighed. “I regret spending so much yesterday.” However, that was only what she said. When she looked at Wu Jun, a smile still hung on her face.

Over here, Bai Qi finished ordering.

Their breakfast consisted of soup dumplings, soy milk, and two bowls of beef noodle soup.

Their breakfasts were twice the amount of other people’s. But after all, they were men, and they had to use the most energy around this period.

“Find a spot and wait for me,” Xi Chengyun said.

Bai Qi nodded and obediently went to find a spot.

After Bai Qi sat down, Qiu Sichuan chose a table next to theirs.

Xi Chengyun came over with their breakfast and happened to hear Bai Qi ask, “Up for ice hockey?”

“Yes,” Xu Yi said.

The audience in the bullet comments were shocked.

【Does Xu Yi and his husband know how to play too?】

Zhou Yangfeng turned towards them and took the words out of the audience’s mouth. “You both know how to play ice hockey?”

Qiu Sichuan nodded. “Xu Yi and I trained in junior high, but we were too busy in senior high, so we stopped going.”

【So… that means Bai Qi has never been worried about whether they would have enough people? But… there are only another two now, what about the rest?】

Yang Yiru butted in. “Xi-ge too?”

Xi Chengyun passed a pair of chopsticks to Bai Qi and said, “Mn, a little.”

“You only have four people now…” Yang Yiru said.

The team of directors didn’t expect them to have the guts to play ice hockey. “If you all really want to give it a try, there’s a coach at the rink.”

‘Just in case they perform super badly,’ the director thought.

The newbie, Luo Yuan, was the last to reach the restaurant. When he heard their discussion, he immediately raised his hand. “I want to join too.”

“But Luo Yuan, you don’t know how to play ice hockey, no?” the program team asked.

“It’s fine, I’ll just be there as a stand-in,” Luo Yuan said.

He assumed that everyone else wouldn’t know how to play ice hockey too, so by then, the instructor would likely help them anyway. The money given for ice hockey is just too high, one team member would receive 30 Yuan per match won.

They’ll get 30 Yuan for free. So why not!

Luo Yuan is a human being. To begin with, he only had 50 Yuan, and he didn’t really dare to spend any of it yesterday. He really wanted to stay in a deluxe suite.

The program team was kinda speechless. “Sure… you can discuss among yourselves. It’s just that… if you all really end up fighting on the ice…”

Luo Yuan patted his own chest and said, “No worries.”

Everyone sat down to enjoy their breakfast, where the rest of the guests seemed to show great envy and longing towards Bai Qi’s luxurious breakfast.

After breakfast, the Zhou Yanfeng couple and the Wu Jun couple got ready to have a few rounds at the basketball court.

Playing basketball, same as table tennis, would only allow them to earn 1 Yuan. Despite that, basketball was a team effort. So, if a couple went together, they would earn 2 Yuan.

Whereas they’d only earn 1 Yuan if they won a game of table tennis.
