As a celebrity, Ning Xiaoyu could be regarded as a multi-talented person. Her talents include dancing, singing, acting, and so on. However, cooking wasn’t one of them.

The few things she could cook were instant noodles, egg fried rice, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes— all things noobs could learn in no time.

Perhaps guessing what she was thinking, the love system added a sentence, 【If you did something that doesn’t match the options, Girl, there will also be a punishment. I have already selected a new script for you. Look forward to it.jpg】

It change the script? Ning Xiaoyu asked, “Why did you change it?”

The love system sweetly replied, 【Because I feel that you don’t like 《What it Takes to Love You, My Runaway Bride》, therefore, I’ve chosen a sweeter script for you!】

Ning Xiaoyu: “……” Thank you very much for your ‘consideration’!

Afraid that she and Lu Jingdu would once again be locked up in a small dark room, Ning Xiaoyu selected an option in seconds.

But she was not in a hurry to complete the task. Instead, she prepared to roast sweet potato for herself. If the system didn’t know Ning Xiaoyu didn’t choose option B, it would have mistakenly assumed that this sweet potato was specially prepared by Ning Xiaoyu for the movie king.

Roasting sweet potatoes wasn’t difficult, just turn them over once in a while. Ling Zige and Xu Cheng were committed to grilling all kinds of food and everyone could take whatever they wanted from the plate. Ning Xiaoyu wasn’t polite either and took a few skewers of gluten meat. She ate them while waiting for her sweet potatoes to be done.

All the while, the love system kept reminding her, 【Girl, you should do the task now!】

Ning Xiaoyu casually said, “I got it.”

As she had guessed before, the love task was indeed becoming increasingly difficult.

Making something like a cake is so troublesome with all the steps needed, not to mention she didn’t know how to bake.

Too many steps = Hassle.

And what she hated most was trouble. If it wasn’t because neither of the two male stars had roasted sweet potatoes and she was too lazy to ask them for help, she wouldn’t have gone the extra mile and roasted them herself.

How convenient was it to just eat without the need to cook?

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t start moving until the sweet potatoes were almost ready.

She found three clean glasses and began filling them.

She didn’t add many things but only one ingredient— goji berries.

That’s right. She chose option C, which was to prepare an edible item for the movie king that he would never forget. And what she decided to prepare was a nourishing goji berry tea.

It was easy to make and good for the health, simply the best choice.

The love system couldn’t believe what it was seeing. 【That’s it? That’s the only thing you’re giving to the movie king?】

Ning Xiaoyu hummed and said with a flourish, “Soaking goji berries in water is good for the skin, can improve eyesight, is anti-aging, can nourish the liver and kidneys, improves sleep quality, and many other benefits. Don’t underestimate it, it’s a good thing.”

The love system stuttered a little, 【Is it…… is it really that good?】

Ning Xiaoyu shrugged. “If you don’t believe me, why don’t you search about it online? System, isn’t it easy for you?”

The love system was silent for a while, probably searching for the benefits of goji berries online. Then it said in a daze, 【It seems that goji berry tea is really good.】 It’s just that, of other bound hosts presented with similar options, 51% chose A, 48.9% chose B, and only 0.1% chose C.

This wasn’t just a random statement but supported by data.

Coincidentally, its host was within that 0.1%.

And according to the big data, that 0.1% failed in their strategy.

Most hosts have good cooking skills and are willing to work hard to improve it. Just as the system said before, grab a man’s stomach and you’ll be one step closer to grabbing his heart.

But who would have thought that the host it was bound to would act nothing like the other hosts?

It would occasionally hear other systems joyfully say, 【The CEO praised my host today, saying that the cake she made is very sweet and delicious, and that he wanted to eat it for a lifetime. Wuuwuuwuu, the sweetness is messing with my code.】

Or, 【The emperor praised my host today, saying that her culinary skill is really good, better than imperial cooks. She was promoted on the same day. My host is one step closer to the highest position in the harem!】

Love systems were bound to hosts in different eras but everyone sent out sugar every day. Unfortunately, the sugar made by its host was extremely hard, so it needed to have better teeth to be able to digest it.

There always seemed to be something wrong with the sugar its host sent out, but its memory was too small, so it couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.

Ning Xiaoyu also prepared goji berry tea for Shen Yueyue so it wouldn’t be too conspicuous. She quickly made three cups of nourishing tea and delivered one to Lu Jingdu at the first opportunity.

Seeing the cup of tea, Lu Jingdu’s brows went up slightly. “This is……”

Ning Xiaoyu casually explained, “It’s for you. Barbecue at night is too greasy. This is just the right thing for it.”

【Wearing a salted fish onesie while giving Brother goji berry tea, why do I find this scene so funny?】

【The hood is so eye-catching. I want to laugh whenever I see it!】

【This outfit matches Ning Xiaoyu perfectly.】

【This onesie paired with a cup of goji berry tea— I really can’t say anything else except that it’s perfect.】

Lu Jingdu looked at the red goji berries floating in the water, and the first thought that flashed in his mind was, So, besides melon seeds and pecans, she also carries goji berries with her.

What else could she pull out of it?

It’s like Doraemon’s pocket.

The cup of tea looks very beautiful against the backdrop of a seaside bonfire. The clear goji berries sinking and floating in the water carried a kind of magic that made people’s moods settle down.

Lu Jingdu took the cup from her hand and took a sip.

The love system watched the scene with a dreamy expression. 【It seems this edible item made a lasting impression on the movie king. Although it would’ve been better if the procedure for making this nourishing goji berry tea wasn’t so simple.】

What Ning Xiaoyu wanted was to make a simple thing. If it was complex, she wouldn’t make it.

After all, she’s lazy.

Edible items, naturally, include drinks. As for leaving an impression on the movie king, she reckoned it was because this was the first time he had been given such a drink by someone.

And so, Ning Xiaoyu once again completed the task perfectly.

Although the sugar that the love system got today was a little hard to chew, it was still better than having none at all. Thinking about it this way, it felt that this was a really sweet day because it successfully got candy from its CP.

Ning Xiaoyu handed the other cup to Shen Yueyue, who readily took a sip and let out a comfortable sigh. She was not one for keeping good health, but it’s for relieving greasiness. She accidentally ate too much barbecue just now.

Seeing the three drinking nourishing tea, Xi Rui couldn’t help but come over and ask, “Xiaoyu, do you have any left?”

Not letting down Xi Rui’s expectations, Ning Xiaoyu took out a handful of goji berries from her pocket.

Xi Rui wasn’t polite and took five or six of them directly. “I’m already 29, I should drink more goji berry tea to maintain my health.”

Seeing Xi Rui took some, the staff couldn’t help coming over as well. And after a while, the goji berries in Ning Xiaoyu’s hand were wiped clean.

Looking at the bustling scene, Mu Jiajia muttered enviously, “Making it sound like she’s the only one who can produce goji berries.” Wasn’t that thing cheap as hell? If people like it, she could even give each of them a catty tomorrow.

Ning Yuwei’s complexion wasn’t pretty either.

After a while, she slowly spoke up, “No one stipulated that only Ning Xiaoyu can go this route, right?”

What’s the big deal with eating melon seeds and carrying goji berries? Wasn’t Ning Xiaoyu just dressing weirdly?

But since the audience likes it, and even other guests are fussing over it, how about creating another ‘Ning Xiaoyu’?

Ning Xiaoyu had no idea Ning Yuwei regarded her as the number one thorn in her side and even came up with a way to deal with her. But even if she did, she wouldn’t care.

After all, Sister Ning had been in the jianghu^[1]in wuxia, the subculture of the martial arts community; in crime fiction, the subculture of the criminal underworld for a long time and had never been surpassed.

After dinner, it was time for the bonfire party.

Ning Yuwei was wearing a black sequined mermaid dress, standing in a graceful and charming manner. Under the light cast by the fire, she appeared even more beautiful. But it was a pity that most of the passerby viewers were used to seeing beauties in the entertainment industry and were now somewhat immune to it.

Compared to Ning Yuwei, they were more interested in Ning Xiaoyu, as they looked forward to seeing more unexpected actions from her.

At a bonfire party, some entertainment was naturally indispensable to liven things up. However, it was voluntary. Guests who want to perform could simply come forward, but if they don’t, they could just stay in their place and be quiet spectators.

Xi Rui stepped forward and did a sultry dance, which received a wave of cheers from the audience. She was wearing a champagne-colored dress with some tassels underneath that swayed along with her movements. The hemline of the dress wasn’t long, revealing her slender legs and a pair of stilettos, embodying the word ‘sexy’ to the fullest.

At the end of her performance, Xi Rui garnered a lot of new fans.

Up next was Shi Chao, a well-known filmmaker of that generation. He hadn’t been getting much exposure lately, so this time, he decided to take the opportunity and step forward to play four different musical instruments. Life wasn’t easy for him, but thankfully, he had a lot of talent. He wouldn’t be able to get to where he currently was otherwise.

Shi Chao performed brilliantly and also attracted countless fans.

Then after Shi Chao, Ning Yuwei and Xu Cheng went up to perform together. The two sang a love song.

Ning Yuwei was talented in dancing but her singing was average. However, she was beautiful and had a good tone of voice, so many people liked it.

Her performance should’ve also attracted many passersby, however, a few sharp-eyed viewers in the live stream suddenly noticed something and pointed out, 【Guys, look at Ning Xiaoyu, what is she eating again?】

【It has red skin. Is that jujube?】

【Looks like it. But is it really jujube?】

Noticing the comments, the cameraman thoughtfully gave viewers a close-up shot. This time, everyone could clearly see what Ning Xiaoyu was currently munching on. It was indeed jujube! And it’s even XX jujube, which looked particularly sweet at first glance.

While listening to Ning Yuwei and Xu Cheng’s duet, Ning Xiaoyu was eating jujube to nourish her blood. She was really enjoying herself!
