The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chapter 79

On the second day, the recording of the third episode of “Foodie Journal” officially began.

Before the filming started this time, the special guests remained confidential. But even if the director team tried to not leak any information about the guests, they didn’t expect that Yu Yan and Jiang Ran would go to the mall to eat rice noodles yesterday, and they were caught by fans at the scene.

Ever since, the other four resident guests once again knew in advance who the special guests were.

When recording the grouping, Wei Bei took the lead and said: “I think there is nothing more to say, we still keep the same group as before. It happens that the new guests are teammates. Since this show requires great team work, it’s not a good idea to break them apart.”

Yu Yan blinked, “Is that so?”

You Jia nodded and joked: “Yes, we resident guests are all xenophobic, right Zexi?”

Ye Zexi didn’t mind: “I don’t mind…”

“Then Teacher He and Jiang Ran will be in a group?” You Jia suggested.

Ye Zexi instantly changed his words: “We four are exclusive! So you are a group of special guests, and we veterans will group with our own.!”

He Jinyun couldn’t help but laugh: “Pfff.”

The others also laughed.

Yu Yan couldn’t help but complain: “You changed your mind too quickly!”

Although it was a complaint, the grouping was decided in this way.

When the director group saw the familiar grouping again, the expressions on their faces were somewhat helpless.

“It seems that when we record the next episode, we have to stipulate that the guests must be grouped by lottery.” The director said melancholy.

The assistant director nodded in agreement.

This was to allow the guests to be grouped freely, he always felt that if this went on, the resident guests could keep grouping with the same people for the whole season without changing.

The guests are happy, but it is not refreshing at all! How do they add program effects! Don’t embarrass them too much!

After the grouping was confirmed, it was time for breakfast.

“Are there any hidden missions today?” You Jia asked.

Both Yu Yan and Jiang Ran did their homework. They both watched the first episode of “Foodie Journal” in advance, and they naturally knew the melaleuca routine prepared by the program group for the guests.

So after You Jia mentioned this sentence, Yu Yan and Jiang Ran looked at each other and began to carefully check the tableware in front of them.

Seeing this, Wei Bei said with emotion: “I didn’t expect that you young people would have known the routines of our program group so soon.”

Jiang Ran nodded seriously: “After all, if you lose, you will have no food to eat, or to cook your own food. Yu Yan and I will at best cook instant noodles.”

Yu Yan nodded, “It’s not that we want to be serious, but if we are not being serious, there will be no food.”

It was just that the two of them looked around and found nothing, and the two looked at each other with doubts.

Seeing Yu Yan’s confused face, Ye Zexi couldn’t help but say: “The program group generally doesn’t use the same routine. Since they have already used the trick during breakfast last time, then it will definitely not be repeated, so you can rest assured and just eat.”

Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief and finally started to eat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Ran moved his chopsticks, there was a burst of background music of the underworld theme.

The guests present were all taken aback, and You Jia was even more shocked at the ghostly music.

“What’s this?” You Jia said.

Jiang Ran didn’t dare to hold the chopsticks anymore, and quickly put it down: “Are you kidding me? I just started eating breakfast, should the director team give me some mental preparation?”

In the sound of the music, the director came out with a bright smile: “Congratulations to all the guests for triggering the script “Who is the Wolf”.”

Ye Zexi frowned and looked at He Jinyun on the side. “It seems that the gameplay has been changed again this time. They changed it to the last one standing script?”

He Jinyun’s gaze stayed at the corner of Ye Zexi’s mouth. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a piece of paper and wiped the corner of Ye Zexi’s mouth naturally: “Maybe. There is something on the corner of your mouth.”

Ye Zexi licked the corner of his mouth, but didn’t care: “Is there any more now?”

He Jinyun’s heart jumped a bit but he quickly calmed it down, his eyes curled: “Nothing.”

Opposite Yu Yan and Jiang Ran looked at each other.

Yu Yan: “…” If this is called just friends!

Jiang Ran: “…” Then none of us admits that we are friends! Don’t talk nonsense!

Yu Yan received the warning in Jiang Ran’s eyes, and could only bite his words angrily, all right!

You say that you’re friends, then you’re friends!

Wei Bei and You Jia on the side didn’t notice this scene. They were both listening carefully to the director’s introduction of this mission.

The director’s script of “Who is the Wolf” does not say much, but tells the guests that the ultimate mission this time is to find out who the wolf is through clues. It is a group mission. As long as the guests successfully identify the werewolf with valid reason and evidence, all six guests can win the ultimate award prepared by the program group.

But it should be noted that there is only one chance for reasoning this time.

In other words, once the guests answer incorrectly, they will fall short.

The first day of recording today, the program team will not announce any clues about the script. Guests need to confirm their identities during the recording of today.

As for the clues afterwards, the guests can only get through the game victory.

After knowing all the rules, Yu Yan was stunned in an instance: “Is it true that nothing will be announced?”

Wei Bei nodded: “Is it possible or not?”

Jiang Ran frowned: “Then we won’t know anything?”

“Not really, at least we can know a little,” Ye Zexi said, “At least we are all people with identities this time, and everyone can trust each other for now, there is no undercover.”

Hearing the word “undercover”, Wei Bei and You Jia became angry instantly, and the two said in unison: “It’s not because of you!”

Ye Zexi blinked innocently.

He Jinyun directly dumped the pot: “It’s all arranged by the program group.”

The implication is that they were just going with the flow.

Yu Yan and Jiang Ran did not participate in the previous recording, and they looked confused: “What happened?”

Wei Bei shook his head.

You Jia sighed.

Don’t say it, don’t say it, it’s all recorded from the previous episode!

“You’ll know when that episode is airing.” Wei Bei sighed again.

Yu Yan and Jiang Ran probably also somewhat understood what happened in the previous recording, so they didn’t ask any more questions.

But not sure if it was because there were no special missions on the first day of this recording, so the guests were much more relaxed when playing.

Of course, after playing for a long time, the identity information mentioned by the program group was really not found at all.

Seeing that other people still didn’t care, Yu Yan was a little flustered: “We haven’t found anything for a long time, is this really okay?”

Jiang Ran was also worried. If they don’t have any information now, will they be able to complete the mission successfully afterwards?

Upon seeing this, You Jia couldn’t help but comfort them and said: “Don’t worry too much, when the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current, there will always be a way.” [1]

Yu Yan frowned when he heard it: “Why does this sound so unreliable?”

Wei Bei didn’t panic, and said with a smile: “You can play with ease. Since this is a team mission, we will definitely win!”

“How can you be so sure?” Jiang Ran asked.

Wei Bei smiled and said nothing.

However, You Jia lifted her chin and motioned them to look at the two in front of them.

There are a lot of tourists in Guilin. They are naturally particularly conspicuous and they have long been spotted by tourists.

Many fans followed along, and many of them were fans of Ye Zexi and He Jinyun.

At this moment, the director asked them to take a rest, and Ye Zexi went to take pictures with the fans.

He Jinyun also stood by and even became a free photographer.

Seeing the two, Wei Bei smiled deeper: “Their relationship is really good. Two days ago, the Internet claimed that they are really together, yet I don’t see them avoiding each other. Sure enough, they are good brothers! If it were other celebrities, after being rumored together, not to mention talking to each other, they might as well try to avoid all contact as much as possible.”

The smile at the corner of You Jia’s mouth suddenly stiffened.

Yu Yan was drinking water and choked directly.

Jiang Ran’s expression was even more complicated. Should he say something now? Or pretend not to hear anything?

At this moment, the cameraman was also at the resting place. Could he pretend that they haven’t heard anything?

But this would inevitably be a little embarrassing.

So should he say it?

Before Jiang Ran could think clearly, he listened to You Jia next to him: “You didn’t see it?”

Wei Bei looked blank: “What do you see?”

You Jia’s eyes were even more complicated. She raised her eyes to look at Jiang Ran and Yu Yan next to her, and asked, “What about you?”

Yu Yan kept Jiang Ran’s words in mind and didn’t dare to answer, just smiled.

Jiang Ran told You Jia the answer with his eyes.

You Jia sighed: “I see, I have always been in the same group with him before, and he didn’t notice anything. I always wonder if it was just me.”

Wei Bei was even more confused: “What the hell? What did you notice?”

You Jia was not prepared to explain.

Wei Bei looked at Yu Yan and Jiang Ran again: “What the hell?”

“Nothing!” the two said in unison.

Don’t say anything, don’t say anything.

They even said that they are not together, that is, they are not together! It’s not good to gossip behind other people casually!

Until the end of the day’s trip, Wei Bei did not understand what the other three had seen.1

In the end, Wei Bei even wondered if the other three had any important clues, and deliberately didn’t tell him. Could it be that this time is not a group mission, what is the identity of the other three people?

The more Wei Bei thought about it, the more he realized it was possible. He simply told Ye Zexi and He Jinyun about the incident.

Ye Zexi looked puzzled: “Hmmm, are there any clues on the way today?”

He Jinyun frowned slightly and turned his head to look at the three people on the other side.

Yu Yan looked away with some guilty conscience.

Jiang Ran felt that this might be the moment when his teammate would get killed.

You Jia was so angry that she almost wanted to rush to kick Wei Bei. Are you afraid that He Jinyun didn’t know we were talking behind his back?

After a few glances, He Jinyun knew what had happened.

Looking back at Wei Bei and Ye Zexi, who looked blank, He Jinyun suddenly felt his brain hurt.

Yes, the other three people have noticed it, why haven’t the most important person noticed it?1

“Teacher He?” Ye Zexi asked again after waiting for He Jinyun’s answer for a long time.

“There is no clue.” He Jinyun said, “I guess the clue given by the program group this time should be a series of clues. It may take several days for the clues to be linked together to know the specific information.”

After listening, Ye Zexi nodded and looked at Wei Bei: “Well, that’s probably the case.”

“Is that so?” Wei Bei frowned, “Then what are they talking about today…”

“Wei Bei! I have rice noodles!” You Jia shouted, interrupting Wei Bei’s monologue.+

“Let’s go,” He Jinyun looked at Ye Zexi, “Go eat rice noodles first.”

Ye Zexi’s eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded: “Okay!”
