Chapter 276: Chapter 276 - 276: Suspected to be in Love

Translator: Zayn_

In the afternoon, Song Qingyou and the others picked tea leaves as usual.

Since Chen Zixuan followed Gu Xingchen wherever she went, after lunch break, Shu Ling quietly pulled Song Qingyou and Zhao Yingnan to the tea garden first.

During this time, the three of them met Yu Muhuai and had no choice but to bring him along.

When the others came out of their rooms, they only saw a note left in the living room.

There was a long paragraph written on it, which roughly meant that there were still some ingredients missing for dinner. They did not go to the market today to buy them, so those who did not go to the tea garden had to prepare the ingredients.

There was a detailed list below the note.

Chen Zixuan came downstairs and happened to see Gu Xingchen walking out of the room.

“Brother Gu, did you just come out?” she asked in surprise. What a coincidence.”

Gu Xingchen nodded slightly. His attention was on Tang Zinian and the others who were holding the note.

“What is written on it? Where was Little Qingyou? Did they all go out?”

“The four of them went to pick tea leaves. We’re responsible for preparing the ingredients for dinner,” Xu Xing Zhou answered honestly.

“The four of them?” Gu Xingchen felt that he could join and immediately said,” Why don’t I…”

“The four of them and the five of us can be considered to be divided into two groups.”

Chen Zixuan smiled and did not give anyone a chance to choose. She asked directly,

“So, are we leaving now? To go down the mountain to find the villagers? Or should we go to the market again?”

Xu Xing Zhou hummed in response.” The market here basically ends at noon.”

“Such a short time?” Chen Zixuan was very surprised.

“Didn’t we already say that before we left?” Tang Zinian was puzzled.

“Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.” Chen Zixuan smiled awkwardly and turned to ask Gu Xingchen,” Brother Gu, when are we leaving?”

Gu Xingchen was speechless.

He knew why Song Qingyou and the others didn’t say anything and went to pick tea leaves…The person in front of him clearly wanted to create a CP with him.

“Teacher Gu?”

“Ah?” Gu Xingchen realized it later. Have you discussed it? Let’s go together.”

“Actually, Teacher Gu and Sister Chen can stay here too…” Jiang Xuyan said. After all, it’s just our mission.”

“No need, 1’11 go with you.”

Gu Xingchen stood up almost immediately.

He didn’t want to stay with Chen Zixuan at all.

He could already imagine his manager nagging at him after the show aired, questioning him about the scandal between him and Chen Zixuan.

In fact, Gu Xingchen’s manager was already considering whether to contact him right now even without the broadcast.

After Gu Xingchen and Chen Zixuan were photographed in the morning, the photos quickly spread from passers-by’s WeChat Moments to all major social media platforms.

Gu Xingchen himself had the title of ‘Walking Headlines’. Coupled with the high-definition photo that was enough to see his face clearly…

In less than an hour, the hashtag #Gu Xingchen and Chen Zixuan are suspected to be in love# was on the trending searches.

[ Looking at their background, they should be in some mountain. The two of them are even selling vegetables. Maybe it’s a charity event that stars participated in.] n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

[ Nowadays, every female artiste wants to create hype for a quick boost. I’m already used to it.]

[ A few photos of them standing together and talking is called a passionate relationship. Are all the media like this?]

[ Don’t hype up Chen Zixuan. She might not become famous even if you hype her to death!]

Most of Gu Xingchen’s fans did not believe in such gossip.

He had been shouting for the company’s team to clarify as soon as possible.

Chen Zixuan’s fans had a completely different attitude.

[Zixuan doesn’t necessarily want to get close to a certain someone. A certain someone’s fan has single-handedly determined that our Zixuan is trying to scam people to create hype. Isn’t that inappropriate?]

[What did the female artiste do wrong? [A lot of the news is obviously edited by the media. Don’t just keep saying ‘female artists’!]

[Women shouldn’t get close to Gu Xingchen. Gu Xingchen’s fans seem to hate women. It’s so disgusting!]

[If the rumors are true, then we can only respect your blessings.]

[To be more realistic, it has nothing to do with fans when artistes fall in love.]

Chen Zixuan’s fans had a high acceptance rate.

Most of them were dissatisfied with the reaction of Gu Xingchen’s fans, which was why they ridiculed them.

Of course, it was also inseparable from the team behind Chen Zixuan.

No matter how lively the trending searches were, White Tea Village was peaceful.

Although Song Qingyou and the others didn’t have their phones, they didn’t play in front of the camera.

Moreover, the Wi-Fi in the homestay had long been cut off by the production team.

They could only make phone calls and not look at the trending searches.

At night, two groups of people returned to the homestay.

Song Qingyou and the other three returned with tea leaves.

As soon as they arrived, Jiang Xuyan and the others came back with many dishes.

“These should be the last tea leaves in the tea garden, right?” Jiang Xuyan looked at the basket on his back.

Song Qingyou nodded. “I can make tea cakes tomorrow.”

“Then our mission is complete,” said Tang Zinian happily.

“Yes, I am.” Jiang Xuyan said,” We can celebrate tonight.”

At the beginning of the show, other than the grapefruit, no one expected that such a large tea garden could be harvested by them in seven days.

Now that they knew the good news, the group was extremely excited.

Even washing and cutting the vegetables was very hard.

When they were almost done with their preparations, it was Song Qingyou’s turn to “get to work.”

Not long after she went in, the rich fragrance of butter wafted out of the kitchen.

Jiang Xuyan took two deep breaths. “This base is delicious.”

“If Qing You has some secret recipe, maybe I can open a shop or a factory to make base materials.”

Before he could finish, Chen Zixuan frowned and asked, “What base?”

Tang Zinian said, “It’s a hotpot seasoning! When we went to town to buy ingredients today, didn’t we say it several times?”

Obviously, Chen Zixuan wasn’t paying attention.

She laughed dryly. “Do you have a clear soup pot?”

“I don’t think so,” replied Tang Zinian.

When the seven of them decided to eat hotpot, no one suggested eating the Clear Broth Pot.

“Sister Chen can’t eat spicy food?” Zhao Yingnan asked.

Chen Zixuan nodded. “I really can’t eat spicy food. If you don’t have a clear soup pot, can you make me something else to eat?”

“I think Song Qingyou is doing quite well. It shouldn’t take up too much of her time.”

You still want Sister Qingyou to cook for you?

Tang Zinian’s lips twitched. “If only Sister Chen had told me earlier in the afternoon.”

“But Sister Chen has been busy talking to Brother Gu, so she probably didn’t hear it. I’m sorry, we spoke too softly.”

Chen Zixuan’s face stiffened.

Shu Ling, who was standing at the side, secretly gave Tang Zinian a thumbs up.

The latter blinked at her and continued, “The hotpot is also made by Sister Qingyou. If I let her work again, 1’11 feel a little bad. How about this? I’ll help Sister Chen make something else to eat later. How about that?”

As he spoke, he patted his chest and said sincerely, “Don’t worry, Sister Chen. I’ve read a lot of recipes. It’s not a problem to make some simple dishes..”
