The Devoted Second Male Lead Decided to Favor Someone Else Chapter 44.1

Idol, You're Acting OOC – Intimacy is Prohibited in the Group (10)

At 4:30, He Yang and Li Xiao came back from the market with all the meat.

Lu Shijin started preparing dinner and gave the other people simple tasks to do.

Xu Yifan was ordered to help Lu Shijin with cooking.

So, in the kitchen, there was the scene of Lu Shijin saying “Spatula,” then Xu Yifan obediently passing over the spatula. Lu Shijin would also say “Soy sauce,” then Xu Yifan would silently pass the bottle to him. When Lu Shijin said to wash the vegetables, Xu Yifan would go to the sink and wash them. He followed Lu Shijin's every order.

Lu Shijin was obviously doing it on purpose. Seeing him endure everything without saying a thing lessened his anger from the afternoon.

It seemed like there were benefits to being in a CP.

Because no matter how fussy Lu Shijin acted, Xu Yifan couldn't easily get angry.

All of the materials had been prepared, he just needed to finish cooking them. At almost six, the director announced that the guests were here.

Since the CocCola chicken wings needed to be boiled for a longer time to have flavor, Lu Shijin cooked that first and left it to stew.

He used this time to greet the guests.

It was still drizzling. The six men lined up underneath umbrellas in front of the doorway.

With the mist from the drizzle obscuring the fields and sounds of the village, then with the colorful lights hanging outside, framed by the smoke rising from the chimneys, it was like a beautiful painting.

Finally, they could see a group of people walking towards them. Some of them wore raincoats and some had umbrellas.

He Yang's vision was good and said excitedly, “They seem to be women, and they have good figures!”

“Really? Who are they? I'm so curious!” He Xinyi said.

Zhao Yue guessed, “Three people, all women, singers or actresses?”

Li Xiao said, “I think the one at the very front has pink hair, she seems a bit like Able?”

He Yang became even more excited, “It's her, it's her! Definitely! The pink haired one is definitely her!”

“Then the two behind her should be Tina and Xu Wei?” Li Xiao said.

He Xinyi said, “Seems like it.”

The show they debuted from had done the same thing with a girl group the year before. The group was a group of nine and Able, Tina, and Xu Wei all belonged to that group.

They had debuted for a year now and were extremely popular. The three here were the most popular of the group.

Everyone except Lu Shijin and Xu Yifan were very happy.

Since they were all pretty women, as well as their seniors in the industry, the newly formed group were naturally excited.

Before the three got to the gate, the four people eagerly rushed out into the rain, fighting to be the first to greet them.

They took their suitcases and said hello. He Yang had such a bright smile on his face that he could be mistaken to be marrying one of them.

Lu Shijin walked slowly at the back, grinding his teeth. You better not be the person I'm looking for, or else you better start praying!

The four men showed the three women in and gave introductions on the way. Only Lu Shijin and Xu Yifan hadn't introduced them.

In front of such pretty women, Xu Yifan still remained cold and aloof, distant yet polite, “Hello, I'm Xu Yifan.”

“Hello seniors, I'm Lu Shijin. You can call me Xiao Lu.”

Lu Shijin greeted them with a smile, which naturally made them smile as well.

Able had a sweet appearance, dimples appearing when she smiled, “I know you, you've been really popular on Weibo lately from your cooking videos. I heard your cooking is really good, is there the Kung-Pao chicken I wanted tonight?”

Lu Shijin said with a smile, “Of course, but I wasn't sure what flavor you wanted? Spicy and sour or sweet and sour?”

Able said unrestrainedly, “Of course spicy and sour! I love spicy foods, the spicier the better~”

Tina was a pure beauty, and she asked Lu Shijin with a smile, “I ordered the red braised fish, do you have it?”

“Of course. I was worried that there would be too many people, so I prepared three fish.”

Xu Wei was the only one amongst them with short hair and had a more neutral, tomboyish style.

She asked loudly, “When are we eating? We've been in the car for half a day, and had to skip lunch for this.”

“Soon, you guys can go rest first, I'll continue cooking.”

The three women replied politely, “Then we'll be troubling you! Looking forward to your cooking!”

Having the three girl group members come led to another supertopic going onto the hot search. Fans poured in and the audience number continued to rise.

[How does everyone have a smile when they're with Jinjin, he's so popular~]

[Fanfan's expression seems a lot like jealousy! It must be because Jinjin got blocked by all the older sisters hahaha]

[It's so busy today, even guests came. The stream must be super exciting! Time to sit down!]

[When are they going to eat? I'm still waiting to eat with them!]

All the ingredients were already prepared, so Lu Shijin only told Xu Yifan to stay and help. Everyone else went to chat with the women.

Lu Shijin took out the Coca Cola chicken and finished a couple of easy stir-fried dishes to bring out.

Then, he started the red braised fish and sweet and sour ribs.

He first fried the fish until both sides were golden yellow, then poured in the sauces and condiments and left it to stew for ten minutes. He took this time to start the ribs.

He had cut the ribs into smaller pieces and steamed them. Then, he poured the sweet and sour sauce, before putting in the ribs again. He flipped them until they were covered in the sauce and finished the ribs. Bringing them out and sprinkling on some sesame seeds, the completed dish looked very appetizing.

“It's my first time making sweet and sour ribs, so I'm not sure about the taste.”

Lu Shijin first took a piece and tried it, and felt that it was okay.

But he was from the south, so he preferred sweet over sour and had put in a lot of sugar. He wasn't sure if the other people would like it.

So, he used his chopsticks to bring a piece to Xu Yifan, “Have a taste?”

Xu Yifan was stunned, and frowned at the chopsticks Lu Shijin just used. After a long time, he finally took it into his mouth.

But when he tasted it, his brows immediately unfurrowed.

“How's the taste?” Lu Shijin was eagerly waiting for a reply.

Xu Yifan spat out the bone before saying slowly, “Alright.”

Lu Shijin was relieved, “That's good. You can bring the ribs and fish out first. I just need to finish the tomato egg soup. It'll be ready soon. Tell them that they can start eating, no need to wait for me.”

Lu Shijin naturally called Xu Yifan, giving the impression that they were old friends.
