Chapter 257: Chapter 257 - 257: Is He Dead?

Translator: Zayn_

Picking tea leaves was not difficult at all.

More importantly, it was very difficult to persist.

If one stood in the same position for too long, one’s back and legs would ache.

In less than an hour, Ye Guiwan rested several times.

On the contrary, Zhong Jiayin persevered.

“I’m not as useless as you,” she mocked when Ye Guiwan asked.

“That’s not convincing at all.” Ye Guiwan continued to make things difficult for her. “You’re picking tea leaves much slower!”

If she hadn’t mentioned it, no one else would have noticed.

This time, everyone finally understood why Zhong Jiayin liked to pick on this and that. She had a bad temper, but her acting skills were not bad.

Thinking about it, she should be a very patient person. However, this patience was not in dealing with people or the ways of the world, but in her work and hobbies.

Picking tea leaves was her job now, so she insisted.

Ye Guiwan wanted to persuade her to rest, but fortunately, Zhao Yingnan came to call them for dinner.

Not only did Shu Ling make cold noodles, but she also made a few cold dishes.

Zhong Jiayin sat down and tasted them one by one, then frowned slightly.

Seeing that she was going to be picky again, Ye Guiwan quietly picked up a cucumber and put it in her bowl. “Jiayin, didn’t you say you were hungry? Hurry up and eat!”

“There are so many people eating. It’ll be finished in a while.”

“Speaking of which, is there no wine here? Cold dishes go well with wine. Aren’t we going to have a drink?”

Ye Guiwan successfully interrupted Zhong Jiayin.

Song Qingyou and the others also turned their attention to the wine.

The homestay already had a place to put wine, so there was no need to exchange for it with the program team.

Ye Guiwan called out a few names of the wine, and Tang Zinian took the initiative to help her get it.

At this moment, Haha, who had been brought out for a day by the staff to worship the ancestors in the village, returned.

It first went straight to Jiang Xuyan, then hesitated for two seconds before wagging its tail and walking up to Song Qingyou.

“Haha?” Jiang Xuyan was confused.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and was about to laugh when they saw Zhizhi standing behind Song Qingyou.

“Brother Jiang, don’t be rash.” Zhao Yingnan laughed. “Maybe Haha wants to play with Zhizhi. It’s not that he doesn’t recognize you as his master.”

Jiang Xuyan sneered. Then, he thought of something and introduced them to Zhong Jiayin and Ye Guiwan.

“This is my dog, Haha.”

“That’s Qingyou’s cat, Zhizhi.”

Zhong Jiayin hummed in acknowledgment. While her reaction was cold, she didn’t forget to shift her chair to avoid close contact with the dog.

Ye Guiwan’s eyes lit up when she saw the cat and dog.

“They’re so cute!”

Ye Guiwan put down her chopsticks and touched Haha.

Then, she bent down and wanted to pet the cat.

But just as she reached out, Zhizhi jumped away.

Zhao Yingnan said, “Zhizhi never lets outsiders touch him. Even when Qingyou’s manager, Sister Lan, hugged him, he would lie on Sister Lan’s arm. He wouldn’t let anyone hug him at all.”

“Is this cat so ’devoted?” Ye Guiwan was surprised.

Jiang Xuyan thought about his choice of words and felt that it was quite right. “Yes, other than Qingyou, no one is allowed to touch him. He is also very fierce. Be careful not to get scratched.”

“That’s a pity.” Ye Guiwan’s eyes were glued to the cat not far away. “Shorthair

cats are so cute. You can look at them but can’t touch them. It’s too cruel…”

“If Zhizhi is willing, of course, there’s no problem.” Song Qingyou smiled.

However, Zhizhi reacted very quickly. Ye Guiwan tried several times but didn’t touch a single cat hair.

Fortunately, Tang Zinian brought a few bottles of wine over and successfully diverted her attention.

“The alcohol content of these wines is not high.”

“It’s rare to have a meal under such beautiful scenery. How about a little?”

Ye Guiwan talked non-stop about wine.

Under her enthusiastic invitation, the group did not refuse.

Song Qingyou’s alcohol tolerance wasn’t bad, so she could drink a little with her.

Under the influence of alcohol, the people at the table talked more than usual. As they chatted, they could not help but talk about some things in the industry.

Wei Zhengrong didn’t want to break the atmosphere, so he didn’t stop them from telling him some secrets.

In any case, the post-production could be handled well.

Song Qingyou took a bowl and placed it on an empty chair, occasionally adding a bit of boiled chicken breast.

Ye Guiwan, who was drunk, was a little confused. Seeing Song Qingyou feed the cat, she also had an idea.

Hence, she carefully looked at the dishes on the table and put her chopsticks into the bowl of “chicken breast”.

Coincidentally, the color of Ye Guiwan’s clothes today was almost the same as Song Qingyou’s, especially under the light.

In addition, both of their hands smelled of alcohol, and their chopsticks were the same.

Therefore, Jiang Zhihan was caught off guard and ate the chili that Ye Guiwan had placed in her bowl.

Cats couldn’t eat chili.

This was because chili peppers were too stimulating for cats to digest.

After chewing twice, Jiang Zhihan felt like his body was in a bad state. He even started crying out.

“Meow-”

He couldn’t help but shout instinctively.

The mournful scream made Song Qingyou turn around.

“Zhizhi, what’s wrong?”

Ye Guiwan also sobered up a little and shook her head hard. “I don’t know… Just now, I think I picked up some of this and gave it some of this.”

Her chopsticks circled around and stopped in the bowl with only chili left.

Song Qingyou was shocked.

Zhao Yingnan quickly asked, “Can he drink water? Do cats behave like humans after eating chili peppers?”

Zhong Jiayin pointed to Ye Guiwan’s hand. “Ye Guiwan, don’t you have water? Quickly give it a few mouthfuls to try! What are you waiting for?”

With this reminder, Ye Guiwan sobered up and placed the cup in front of Jiang Zhihan.

Jiang Zhihan couldn’t care less. He stretched out his cat tongue and quickly licked the liquid twice.

Then, he noticed that something was wrong.

Ye Guiwan had given him wine!

After turning into a cat, Jiang Zhihan had specially checked the precautions for raising a cat.

Be it chili or wine, cats couldn’t eat them.

The former was fine, but the latter would kill the cat if it drank too much!

Jiang Zhihan instantly exploded and bared his teeth at Ye Guiwan.

“It’s not water.” Song Qingyou sharply noticed that something was wrong. She picked up the glass and smelled it. Her expression was serious. “This isn’t water. It’s wine.”

“Zhizhi-”

“Quick, let me send Zhizhi to-”

She was just about to ask the production team to send Zhizhi to the hospital.

Who knew that the kitten, who had a big reaction just now, suddenly closed its eyes and lay down.

Everyone was stunned. Zhong Jiayin couldn’t control her expression.

“It, it, it can’t be… Is he dead?”

Ye Guiwan’s face turned pale and she almost fell off her chair!

She had heard from Fu Chen and the others how much Song Qingyou cared about this cat.

This was the cat that the other party had to bring along, even for filming!

If the cat really died because of her mistake, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life!

“Q-Qingyou…”

Ye Guiwan didn’t even dare to look at Song Qingyou..
