The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish

 

Hearing Tang Jing's words at first, Ye Zexi was taken aback for a moment, then without thinking, he subconsciously tilted his head and glanced at He Jinyun next to him.

There was no expression on He Jinyun's face, but he looked at Ye Zexi deeply, as if he didn't care about Ye Zexi's answer at all.

Tang Jing caught a glimpse of Ye Zexi's subconscious movement in the rearview mirror, and his eyebrows frowned.

Ye Zexi also glanced at He Jinyun subconsciously, without leaving his sight too much. He quickly turned his head. The process was very short, probably in one second. Then he spoke and refused Tang Jing: "Us forming a team, maybe it can't be done."

Tang Jing's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled tighter, but still remembered to maintain the expression on his face, making a somewhat surprised look: "Huh? Why?"

Ye Zexi turned his head very naturally and smiled at He Jinyun: "Because I have promised Teacher He in advance, no matter who is the special guest, we must form a team together."

After all, Ye Zexi didn't know that Tang Jing would come to record "Foodie Journal" before. But if you were to tell Ye Zexi in advance that Tang Jing will come to record "Foodie Journal", and ask Ye Zexi to choose between He Jinyun and Tang Jing...

Ye Zexi thought for two seconds, then sighed.

Tang Jing can't make fish...

The answer is obvious.

Hearing Ye Zexi's answer, Tang Jing's expression changed again, and the hand beside him unconsciously tightened into a fist.

"Did you team up together in the last recording?" Tang Jing took a slight breath, trying to keep his tone as normal as possible.

Ye Zexi smiled: "Yeah, Teacher He's cooking is delicious. I can't cook, I can only depend on him!" He said in awe, Ye Zexi also looked at He Jinyun, "In the last recording, I really relied on Teacher He to be able to eat fragrant and spicy food."

The corner of He Jinyun's mouth bent, noncommittal.

Tang Jing bit his lower lip, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little stiff: "Really?"

Ye Zexi nodded and suggested again: "But don't worry, this time I don't know how the director will arrange the team. If it is not a two-person team, then we can be in the same team!"

Tang Jing wanted to laugh, but it didn't reach the corners of his mouth. He said, "I'm afraid that it's a two-person team this time."

Just as Tang Jing said.

At the beginning of the recording on the second day, the opening was the same as the first one. All the guests gathered in the restaurant.

In the second recording, there were two special guests. In addition to Tang Jing, there was one other person who is also an old acquaintance of everyone---Shan Zeyu.

He Jinyun was really surprised to see Shan Zeyu.

"You never told me you would come." He Jinyun said.

Shan Zeyu blinked: "Otherwise, how can it be a surprise?"

He Jinyun smiled helplessly.

Shan Zeyu ignored his friend, turned to look at Ye Zexi who was standing on the side, and greeted with a bright smile: "Oh! Zexi, long time no see!"

Ye Zexi also smiled: "Teacher Shan, it has been a while."

Shan Zeyu simply sat down next to Ye Zexi, in front of countless cameras, and started a small chat with Ye Zexi: "By the way, Zexi, I asked you to record the theme song of "Famous General" with me before, why did you refuse?"

He Jinyun was stunned, and the director who was about to cue the recording was also stunned.

Eh, is it possible that there is still other unexpected news?

Wei Bei and You Jia on the side were also a little surprised.

Who is Shan Zeyu!

The mythical existence in the music world!

In their perception, it seems that no artist will refuse Shan Zeyu's invitation!

Ye Zexi refused?

Everyone's eyes converged on Ye Zexi.

He Jinyun frowned, and when he was about to speak, he heard Ye Zexi's stunned question: "Teacher Shan, when did you ask me to collaborate?"

The people present were taken aback again.

Shan Zeyu only felt a pain in his chest.

He Jinyun couldn't hold back: "Pffff."

Ye Zexi's expression was too sincere, and Shan Zeyu wanted to say that he was just prevaricating but couldn't say it.

In the end, He Jinyun took the lead to break the silence: "Zexi, do you remember that I mentioned to you that Zeyu asked you to record a song during the filming?"

Ye Zexi pondered for a long time before remembering: "Oh, I remember now, it seems that there was something like this." After saying that, Ye Zexi turned to look at Shan Zeyu innocently and said frankly, "But Teacher Shan, I didn't seem to hear my agent mention this to me, so I thought Teacher He was joking with me."

"It turned out to be true." Ye Zexi said with a smile.

He Jinyun's smile deepened, probably because the show was still being recorded, so he raised his hand to slightly cover the corner of his mouth.

Shan Zeyu: "..."

So angry!

He asked He Jinyun to help him with the collaboration invitation, could it be fake?

He just thought that Ye Zexi really didn't know, but now it seemed that he just remembered it, and deliberately pretended not to remember!

Taking a deep breath, Shan Zeyu decided to let the past go. The most important thing now is the present.

So he smiled and said, "Of course it's real, but it's a long time ago, and it's normal if you don't remember it."

Wei Bei chimed in at the right time: "It's been more than half a year. Teacher Shan, even if you just casually told me verbally, I would definitely think it was a joke too!"

You Jia agreed and nodded, not forgetting to stab Wei Bei: "But don't assume anymore. Even if Teacher Shan invites someone verbally, it will not be you."

Wei Bei: "Hey! Are you starting a fight!"

There was a burst of laughter all around.

Shan Zeyu nodded: "Wei Bei is right. Then it seems that I have to be more cautious in the future. I will ask my agent to contact Zexi's agent later. What do you think, Zexi?"

Ye Zexi blinked, what to think?

Of course he would refuse without mercy.

But Ye Zexi didn't say this. After all, he was still recording the show.

The gig here was over, and Tang Jing finally appeared.

Seeing that the seats next to Ye Zexi were already taken, Tang Jing simply sat next to Wei Bei.

 

The special guests arrived, and the director team finally announced today's mission.

Sure enough, just like Ye Zexi and the others have guessed, the first day of shooting is still sightseeing on their own. As for whether there will be hidden missions, the director team still does not explain, only that before breakfast, the guests need to form a group of two, which means there will be three groups.

Hearing this, Wei Bei couldn't help but sigh: "Can't you director team clearly say whether there is a hidden mission? Don't torture me like the previous recording, can you!"

Tang Jing asked, "What is a hidden mission?"

You Jia gave a wry smile and briefly explained to Tang Jing and Shan Zeyu the situation of their previous recording.

Shan Zeyu was shocked: "Can you still play like this?"

Of course, not only can, but the rules are more exciting this time.

However, the director team is not prepared to tell a few guests.

Just said one sentence: "Everyone, you should try to eat a lot in the morning."

Shan Zeyu felt wrong when he heard this, and quickly looked at He Jinyun who was aside: "He Jinyun, let's form a group."

This time it was Ye Zexi's turn to look at He Jinyun.

He Jinyun curled his lips and refused with a smile: "Sorry, no can do."

Shan Zeyu's eyes widened suddenly: "Why? If I don't go with you, I will definitely be miserable today!" Shan Zeyu frowned, "Or, you have teamed up with other people behind my back?"

He Jinyun did not deny it.

Ye Zexi looked at Shan Zeyu next to him and said with a smile: "Teacher Shan, I will be teaming up with Teacher He." After that, Ye Zexi added, "We discussed it early in the morning. "

Shan Zeyu: "..."

It turned out that he was the one being abandoned!

Wei Bei and You Jia had a good time working together in the last recording, and the two soon negotiated to form a team.

So only Shan Zeyu and Tang Jing were left, and the two automatically became a group.

Shan Zeyu glared at He Jinyun angrily, walked around a few people, sat next to Tang Jing, took Tang Jing's shoulders, and looked at He Jinyun who was opposite: "Hmph, I still have Xiao Tang! Who wants to be with you in the same team!"

He Jinyun just smiled, shook his head and said nothing.

Everyone had been splitted up into groups, and they began to have breakfast.

With the previous experience, Wei Bei and You Jia were extra careful this time. While the others started eating, neither of them moved their chopsticks, but they began to carefully check the various tableware.

Shan Zeyu was puzzled: "Is it possible that there are hidden missions on the table?"

Wei Bei glanced at him with emotion, "Otherwise why do you think we want to check?"

You Jia followed with a sigh in a faint tone: "In the last recording, only Zexi found it."

Shan Zeyu paused while holding the chopsticks, and glanced at Tang Jing.

The two also began to eat while checking various tableware that might have hidden missions.

Only Ye Zexi and He Jinyun were the only ones who did nothing and were eating seriously.

After finishing eating, Ye Zexi even asked the staff for a clean packing container, he filled it up with several small breads, and said that he wanted to eat them on the road.

Wei Bei was a little puzzled about this: "Are you sure you don't want to look for the mission together?"

Ye Zexi nodded: "Yeah, don't look for it."

After speaking, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun looked at each other, and He Jinyun also nodded lightly.

It is impossible for the director team to use the same trick in the previous recording, so there is nothing to look for at all.

Ye Zexi and He Jinyun had already thought about this when they stepped into the restaurant this morning.

But whether it was Ye Zexi or He Jinyun, they felt that the possibility of repeating the old tricks from the director team was too small of a chance.

Coupled with the reminder from the director team today--"Eat a lot in the morning", they had already determined that today's mission was absolutely impossible to be hidden in breakfast.

As for the director group's reminder to "eat a lot", Ye Zexi and He Jinyun also felt that the director group would not say such a meaningless sentence, so after eating, Ye Zexi would ask the waiter for a to-go box.

Pretending to be just greedy and wanting to bring some snacks.

This scene was being watched by everyone, but no one paid much attention to it.

When everyone was full, the director team announced that everyone was ready to go.

Before Ye Zexi got into the car, Tang Jing suddenly stopped Ye Zexi: "Zexi, you take this with you."

Tang Jing handed Ye Zexi a to-go box, which was neatly packed with pastries and some snacks.

Ye Zexi was taken aback and asked: "You packed it for me?"

Tang Jing laughed: "Yeah, I think you like to eat more, so I went to the staff and asked for some more."

Ye Zexi was moved.

But it was just temporary, now he couldn't accept it.

Ye Zexi handed the to-go box back to Tang Jing, glanced at the director group, and said in a low voice: "You should keep it for yourself, I have already brought enough. Also, maybe this is also a hidden mission."

After speaking, Ye Zexi winked at Tang Jing and turned to get into the car.

Tang Jing was taken aback, looking at Ye Zexi in disbelief.

Ye Zexi rolled down the car window and waved to him: "We'll set off first!"

The vehicle drove away slowly, and Shan Zeyu finally walked to Tang Jing's side at this time, glanced at the to-go box in his hand, and he started to get nosy: "What, you didn't give it to him?"

Tang Jing frowned, and looked at Shan Zeyu aside with a serious look: "Teacher Shan, can you cook?"

Shan Zeyu said as expected: "Of course not, you?"

Tang Jing's brows frowned suddenly.

Shan Zeyu looked at Tang Jing in shock, and both of them saw three words in each other's eyes--"We are over."

At the same time, Tang Jing was even more worried, what exactly was today's hidden mission?

The car left the hotel and was getting closer and closer to the Chaka Salt Lake.

On a sunny morning, the breeze was faint, and the sun was warm.

The closer you are to the salt lake, the more the blue sky merges with the lake water.

Compared with Tang Jing's group of gloomy clouds, Ye Zexi and He Jinyun's atmosphere was much happier.

But Ye Zexi was still a little puzzled, and couldn't help looking at He Jinyun who was next to him: "Teacher He, where do you think this hidden mission is most likely to be hidden?"

Sunlight slipped in from the car window, as if half of He Jinyun's body was plated with golden light, making the man's silhouette more three-dimensional.

Hearing this, He Jinyun turned his head back to look at Ye Zexi slightly, his deep eyebrows were curved just right, and the corners of his mouth were curled up, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and then a sweet voice came--

"Who knows?"

Ye Zexi's heartbeat raced up without a warning.
