“When I watch them bicker, I have to smile. Ah… They really match each other.”

When the show was broadcasted, Han Siye saw these comments and got so angry that he almost smashed his computer.
What are these netizens thinking? How could they ever think that Xiao Wei and I are compatible enough to be in a relationship? If they were blind, they should go to the hospital for treatment instead of spouting nonsense on the internet!
Xiao Wei, that bastard, had messed up my plan to be alone with Little Jiu. It was good enough that I did not beat him up. But to be a couple with him? I would rather die!

Seeing the tension between the two young men, Su Jiu quickly changed the topic. “What are you planning to cook?”
Han Siye turned away from Xiao Wei’s face and indifferently said, “Anything, as long as it’s edible.”
Su Jiu immediately stopped considering his culinary skills. She asked Xiao Wei, “Brother Xiao Wei, what about you?”
“I’ll take a look. I think this is a rare opportunity. If we want to cook today, we should make something nice. How about four dishes and a soup?”
“Sure, but I might have to leave the cooking to you. I don’t go into the kitchen much. It might not taste good.”
Xiao Wei smiled. “No problem.”
Han Siye snorted lightly. The meaning in his expression was obvious: So what if you know how to cook?
The three of them walked into the village and happened to see a fisherman returning with a bucket of fish. Su Jiu immediately jogged over to him to take a look. The bucket had four fish. They were fat and lively. She quickly asked, “Uncle, are these fish for sale?”
When he saw Su Jiu, the man in his forties immediately became excited. He unsteadily asked in Mandarin, “You… aren’t you that… big star? My son and daughter love you! Are you recording a show in our village?”
“Yes!” Su Jiu replied generously. “Uncle, thank you! We’re recording a reality show now. Today’s mission is to cook something, so I’m asking if you’re selling this fish.”
“I’m not selling it! If you want it, I’ll give it all to you!” the man happily said and handed the bucket in his hand to Su Jiu. However, he felt that she would not be able to carry it as a girl, so he looked at the two teenagers behind her. “Come, come, come. You two help take it!”
Xiao Wei was about to step forward, but Han Siye was faster than him. “How much will it cost?”
The man smiled and said, “I said I don’t need money. I’m giving it to you.”
Su Jiu shook her head. “Uncle, we can’t take it for free. Let’s go with the market price. We’ll take what we need.”
These words put the man in a difficult position, but seeing that the three children were serious, he thought for a moment and said, “Alright, there are many fishing spots over there, so they’re not worth much. Just give me ten yuan.”
The production team had given the youth little money for dinner tonight. Everyone had only twenty yuan on them. Just as Su Jiu was about to give the fisherman the money, Han Siye stopped her. “Let me do it.”
He sounded like a domineering CEO.
Xiao Wei shook his head in amusement. This person wants to show off in front of Little Jiu all the time.
Of course, Xiao Wei too wanted to look good in front of Little Jiu.
But no matter how well he looked, it was useless.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wei felt a little bitter.
However, in terms of bitterness, he was on better terms than Han Siye. After all, Han Siye had been rejected by Little Jiu many times. With his competitive personality, one could imagine how suffocating it was for him to lose so thoroughly.
After Han Siye paid for the fish, he inadvertently turned his head and saw Xiao Wei looking at him. There seemed to be a hint of… sympathy in Xiao Wei’s eyes?
Han Siye was speechless.
Just as he was puzzled, Xiao Wei patted his shoulder and sighed. “It’s not easy for you.”
Han Siye was speechless again.
Is he speaking Mandarin? Why can’t I understand him?
