Chapter 333: Chapter 311: This Feels Just Right!

“Didn’t I say it was for Ji Xizhi, this girl?”

Old Tao said as he glanced at the staff member who helped pass on the message earlier.

He didn’t know any other guests on the show, and he only got Ji Xizhi’s name after asking around. He specifically mentioned it was for her when delivering the crispy small fried fish.

He had described Ji Xizhi, saying she was the prettiest little girl among them. How could it get mixed up?

Old Tao was puzzled.

In the main live stream room of “Life Experience,” because Old Tao followed Ji Xizhi so closely, things became clearer.

Previously, some people in the bullet comments didn’t quite believe it, but now getting closer with yesterday’s screenshots for comparison, there was no doubt they confirmed Old Tao’s identity.

But wasn’t Old Tao cold and distant when he met Ji Xizhi yesterday, saying not to get close? How come today they’ve jumped to this attitude?

It’s really a monumental change!

[Wasn’t this Old Tao not fond of Ji Xizhi before? Why suddenly… it feels like she’s his beloved daughter!]

[Don’t doubt it, don’t hesitate, that’s exactly the right feeling!]

[Some fans might feel embarrassed now, my dream Barbie is starting her 10086th construction project!]

One sentence from Old Tao froze the air at the small house’s entrance.

Especially for the staff member who helped deliver the items, they were in a tough spot, wanting to explain but couldn’t.

Zhong Yulu didn’t expect Old Tao to follow Ji Xizhi back, and so bluntly point out that it was only for Ji Xizhi.

The embarrassment and discomfort were replaying on her face, as if her earlier words were like a slap echoing on her cheeks.

At that moment, she wasn’t even hungry anymore, just feeling choked up.

Ji Xizhi stood beside Old Tao, and she brought him back mainly to tell everyone that they could use Old Tao’s kitchen to make dinner together, so everyone could have a better meal.

Yet as soon as they returned, she heard Zhong Yulu’s comment.

She casually looked at Zhong Yulu.

Even though Zhong Yulu had used makeup to cover her dark circles these past few days, Ji Xizhi could still see they were getting heavier.

Zhong Yulu typically wouldn’t argue against Sheng Yaoyao’s opinions, but today she was the first to do so.

Did something happen to her, or was it something in this world from the book?

Ji Xizhi was thoughtful and didn’t speak for a moment.

The awkward atmosphere continued to spread.

The other guests also looked uncomfortable.

Sheng Yaoyao frowned, a bit puzzled, as she looked at Zhong Yulu, but then she spoke warmly to ease the situation.

“Right, when villagers come to deliver things, it might not be specifically for Zhi Zhi, but I think this master is different. You were amazing at spearing fish yesterday beside Zhi Zhi, right?”

Sheng Yaoyao was tactful, quickly shifting the conversation to Old Tao while complimenting him, with genuine sincerity in her tone.

Old Tao indeed appreciated the comment. His earlier sentence wasn’t meant to target Zhong Yulu; it just happened to come out in the conversation. Being straightforward, he didn’t overthink it and offered a brief explanation.

Now that Sheng Yaoyao helped smooth things over, Old Tao didn’t press further.

Meanwhile, some fans in the live stream still bickered.

[Everyone’s in it together. It’s just a box of crispy fish. Why make it so awkward?]

[If Ji Xizhi wants to eat it herself, let her. It’s not some precious thing! Who’s lacking that bite to eat!]

[Common knowledge… Even kindergarteners know to share!]

[Obvious knowledge, everyone knows it’s unpleasant to be generous with others’ things! And Zhi Zhi didn’t say she wouldn’t share it with your artist. Look at how greedy you are!]

The two groups of people argued back and forth.

Listening to Sheng Yaoyao, Ji Xizhi decided not to dwell on it anymore.

She glanced down at the box of crispy small fish and asked Old Tao.

“Master Tao, I probably can’t finish this by myself. Why not share it with the crew so everyone can taste the specialty of our village!”

Just after Ji Xizhi spoke, Old Tao nodded: “Whatever you say.”

The other guests, still feeling the awkwardness from before, wanted to refuse, but before they could, Ji Xizhi pushed the box of crispy small fish towards the staff member who was initially supposed to pass it along.

“It’s not much; everyone can just have a taste!”

The crispy small fish filled two large boxes. With the show’s guests and staff, there wasn’t much, but enough for everyone to have a taste!

Sheng Yaoyao and Guan Fengyan, among others, initially hesitated to take some, but Ji Xizhi encouraged even the other staff to eat it. With more people involved, the awkwardness dissipated, and everyone happily shared the food.

Old Tao even pinched a piece, savoring it with delight.

By the time the box of crispy small fish reached Zhong Yulu, her face was already quite pale.

Now whether she took some or didn’t, it was like she was on the hot seat.

[During that awkward moment, I noticed that Uncle Yan, Le Qiqi, and even Yaoyao hesitated to move. Thankfully, everyone’s eating now, and the awkwardness is gone!]

[Ji Xizhi is pretty savvy. If it were me, I’d probably just remember dividing up among the guests and then hahahaha – it would just be everyone awkwardly together!]

[Zhong Yulu… That’s hard to comment on! Alright, let’s leave it; we have a legal perception!]

The two boxes of crispy small fish quickly disappeared as everyone tried a piece.

Ji Xizhi only had one.

Old Tao stood next to Ji Xizhi, watching her leisurely savor the crispy small fish. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NoveIＦire.net

He whispered sneakily: “There’s still some at home. I’ll fry more for you later! With some rice wine, they’ll be delicious!”

Zhu Xiu’an poked his head out from somewhere: “There’s more?”

Old Tao: “…”

He looked annoyed but couldn’t say much directly and had to add.

“Come to my house for dinner later.”

Zhu Xiu’an gulped hard: “!!! Well, of course!”

…

Ji Xizhi and the other guests had come by Old Tao’s boat. As Old Tao’s house was in another village, Ji Xizhi and the others first made a trip to the market before arriving at Old Tao’s place.

It wasn’t early anymore; Old Tao’s family ate dinner early and had already finished their meal. The fragrance of the previously fried crispy small fish still lingered in the courtyard.

As soon as Old Tao got home, he planned to call his family to help make another dinner.

Ji Xizhi repeatedly insisted otherwise, and finally, only Granny Tao stayed in the kitchen to reheat the small fish.

Ji Xizhi would make the other dishes.

The other guests from the show weren’t good at cooking, and tonight’s meal was simple. Sheng Yaoyao and several others started picking and washing vegetables at the courtyard entrance.

Ji Xizhi was helping fry the crispy small fish.

Granny Tao had already heard about Ji Xizhi from Old Tao last night and liked her even more today, seeing Ji Xizhi helping in the kitchen. She intended to teach Ji Xizhi how to fry the specialty small crispy fish personally.

The two chatted in the kitchen.

Granny Tao: “For frying the crispy small fish, first, you need to choose the right fish; it must be fresh…”

She was only halfway through when they heard shouting from outside the small window on the kitchen’s side.

“You useless brat! All your money belongs to our family. I’m your father, even if you get married off, I’m still your father!!!”
