Chapter 57: “Heartbeat” Goes Live!
…
The next day.
At 7:30, Li Jianyu sat half asleep, rubbing his eyes. They were in the garden with the planning department and the cameramen to discuss the day’s arrangements.
They thought they had gotten up early enough until they saw Xiang Yi appear in the camera.
Li Jianyu greeted her in a friendly manner. “Good morning, mentor Xiang Yi. Are you going out to exercise?”
Xiang Yi gave him an odd look and politely said, “Good morning. I’ve just finished my morning exercise.”
Everyone: ???
Li Jianyu: “Running? Next time, we can go together. I can run five kilometers, you know.”
As a director, the most important thing to maintain was his health. Moreover, he liked photography, which meant he needed a lot of strength to carry a gadget weighing a dozen kilograms for a few hours.
Xiang Yi: “No, taichi. I also practice swordsmanship occasionally.”
Everyone: ???
Is it the taichi that the grandpas and grandmas practice in the park?
Li Jianyu smiled dryly. “Mentor Xiang Yi, you’re really… healthy.”
Xiang Yi: “Hungry? We can eat.”
“Ah?”
“I made breakfast for you.” Xiang Yi glanced at the time on her sports wristband watch. “About time. It’s the same number of people as yesterday, right? There’s enough food for everyone.”
Everyone onsite was flattered, and someone politely said, “Mentor Xiang Yi, you have to be on stream during the day, yet you’re cooking for us… Is it too much work for you…”
“Not at all.” Placidly, the girl said, “It’s quite convenient for me, really. If you enjoy it, please do eat more, and feel free to let me know ahead of time if there’s something you’re craving.”
She enjoyed the state of being fully engaged when cooking, which allowed her entire heart and being to calm down.
To others it might be tiring, but to her it was both a hobby and an exercise. What’s not to love?
Five minutes later.
The entire cast and crew of “Two Under One Roof” ate their breakfast in a trance.
Red bean with black rice porridge, fresh meat stuffed buns, three-vegetable buns, and unlimited side dishes. There was also a bunch of delicately made wontons that could be cooked by anyone who wanted some, matched with some seaweed and dried shrimp. It was so fresh that people almost lost their tongues.
During breakfast, not a person spoke up—it was so delicious, they didn’t even have time to gobble it up. Who would care to talk?
After a while.
“Burrrp…”
Satisfied hiccups sounded one after another.
Everyone glanced at each other with stern expressions.
“Aiya, I’ll go do the dishes…”
“Then I’ll go help Mentor Xiang Yi sweep the floor.”
“I’ll go clean the kitchen! And take out the trash!”
Li Jianyu felt the corners of his mouth twitch. He had never seen these people so active during work hours, yet now they were fighting for chores one by one!
‘All they care about is food! No shame!’
‘But since we’re here, I’ll just have another bowl of wontons. Just one!’
The marketing team of “Two Under One Roof” announced on Weibo that the stream would begin at 9:00 am sharp.
When the “Heartbeat” crew saw this announcement, they decided to change their scheduled time to air in advance.
“We’re starting at 8:30!” Director Chen said with a gloomy look. “Today, no matter what, we’re going to destroy “Two Under One Roof” once and for all! It’s just cooking, right? Is Qin Wanyan ready?”
