Chapter 52 - Holding Hands (1)
Over at Yue Lai Inn, Ji YunChuan wasn’t as efficient as Nie AnAn so dinner wasn’t ready yet.
As a result, the guests were playing interactive games in the lobby area.
They were playing a singing game where each participant must continue to sing where the last one left off. Evidently, the big boss Huo YanXiao didn’t know any of the pop songs.
He leaned against a wooden chair inside the inn sluggishly. His look was deep and distant and showed no intent of joining in.
The production crew obviously wasn’t going to let him off the hook easily. Every time it was Huo YanXiao’s turn, Mr. Cameraman got very excited and aimed at him from all sorts of directions.
At the moment, Feng Wei was singing, “I saw the sadness in your eyes but I couldn’t find any comforting words. You said you’d let go with a smile and promised to not stop me when I leave…”
The standard for the game had been lowered quite a bit. All Huo YanXiao needed to do was sing a line from any song that contained the word “leave”.
Yet, he merely looked nonchalantly at the camera and said, “I don’t know.”
Mr. Cameraman, “……” Whatever you like, dude!
This was by far the most uncooperative guest that he has had in his 10+ years of being in this profession.
None of the guests or crew members had any idea why Huo YanXiao agreed to be on this show and to become the secret guest.
Yet this secret guest didn’t feel any pressure at all. As he didn’t know any songs, he proactively poured himself a glass of wine and started slowly sipping at it.
His domineering aura radiated through his elegant movements. Even though he was sitting in a wooden chair and it wasn’t the only “host” seat in the lobby, the way he was acting made him seem like his only purpose that day was be there to drink and watch an extremely childish performance.
The text wall exploded in the streaming channel.
“Ooooooooh. I want to go see Huo-gege at Yun Lai!! But it’s my grandmother’s birthday on Sunday. If I take off, the empress will kill me!”
“LOL. No worries. You won’t be able to go, but I can go in your place! I have just heard Huo-gege’s voice. Not only is he so handsome, even the way he said ‘I don’t know’ was so perfect! OMG, I’m in love!”
“Exactly! Exactly! Huo-gege said a total of 38 words today. Other than greetings and talking to AnAn-meimei, the rest were all ‘I don’t know,’ ‘I don’t know,’ ‘I don’t know’….. that was sooooo incredibly cute!”
“Huo-gege, I am begging you on my knees to say ‘I don’t know’ a few more times. I will hug the recording of your voice and sleep soundly tonight!”
“To the previous poster: Don’t you want to listen to Huo-gege sing?”
“No, no need! I am getting nosebleeds just from Huo-gege saying ‘I don’t know’. If he starts to sing, I will for sure die from massive blood loss…”
Amidst all the discussion noises, someone suddenly entered the inn.
As soon as Nie AnAn had entered, she immediately spotted Huo YanXiao sitting there and drinking in a very carefree way. Even without any emotion or interactivity, he still seemed like he was the host of the entire event.
When she walked inside, Mr. Cameraman spotted her right away. Immediately, his eyes lit up. He hoped for an unexpected performance, and he immediately panned the camera onto Nie AnAn.
Nie AnAn had a box in her hand. After giving the other guests a polite smile, she pitter pattered over to Huo YanXiao, placed the box on top of the table top, and said, “Big brother, I made this specifically for you! You shouldn’t drink with an empty stomach; it will upset your stomach!”
It had just dawned on her a while ago that Huo YanXiao most definitely wouldn’t interact with the other guests, so he’d likely be on the being punished side for the most part.
And the other guests wouldn’t dare to prank him, so the punishment would most likely be drinking.
Nie AnAn opened up the box. Inside the box, there were four beautiful crystal dumplings, all of them of identical sizes, including the folds and the curves.

She introduced each and every single one of them to Huo YanXiao, “Big brother, this is your favorite shrimp one; this one is egg custard, but I didn’t add any sugar to it; this one is a savory crab meat one; and the last one is beef and celery.”
Everybody else, “……”
Mr. Cameraman, “……”
Gulping sounds rang through the lobby all of a sudden.
