Chapter 452: Don't Eat Coriander
Go out for a walk?
Looking at the serious-faced Ye Fan before him, Yi Jingyun's expression was very brilliant. He gave a dry cough: "Contestant Ye Fan, this is probably somewhat inappropriate, right? After all, we are recording a program…"
Ye Fan turned his head to glance at Ning Xi in the distance, who was drowsily sleepy, shook his head slightly: "Nothing inappropriate. My girlfriend and I will return an hour early, and we will only walk around near the Media Tower entrance, not going far."
The corner of Yi Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly, squinted his eyes and asked: "What if I say I don't agree?"
"Don't agree?"
Ye Fan smiled faintly, "That's fine too. My girlfriend and I can withdraw from the recording. This program is quite boring anyway…"
"Stop!"
Yi Jingyun almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. From the first season of Brain Ladder until now, no contestant had ever dared to bargain with him, let alone in this threatening manner. For a moment, his chest couldn't help but feel stuffy.
Ye Fan was completely bewildered: "Director, what's wrong?"
He had no intention of threatening Yi Jingyun, but rather genuinely felt this Brain Ladder variety show wasn't very interesting.
"…"
Yi Jingyun suppressed the frustration in his heart. He could naturally hear the seriousness in Ye Fan's words. A bit of hesitation flashed across his face. Ultimately, he had to nod and agree to Ye Fan's request.
Two Genius List members withdrawing without reason?
This kind of situation, Yi Jingyun naturally didn't want to see!
After all, judging from the viewership ratings of previous program broadcasts, whenever super-strong contestants battled, the viewership ratings were very high.
No exaggeration to say, a contestant like Ye Fan was a guarantee of viewership ratings.
"Come back early."
"No problem."
Several nearby staff members looked at Ye Fan's retreating figure, dumbfounded, then looked at Yi Jingyun with astonishment.
Is this still the chief director they know?
Even agreeing to such an unreasonable request, truly refreshed their three views!
Coming behind Ning Xi, Ye Fan squatted down, his hands gently pressing on the girl's shoulders.
"Mmm~"
A slight sound echoed. Ning Xi slowly opened her eyes. Feeling the touch on her shoulders, her first reaction was to break free from the hands on her shoulders, her eyes showing utter vigilance. However, when she saw the person behind her was Ye Fan, the vigilance instantly retreated.
"Gege, you scared me to death!"
"What? Thought it was someone else?"
Ye Fan saw all of Ning Xi's reactions, the corners of his mouth lifted in a hidden arc, "Rest assured, I won't give others such an opportunity."
Ning Xi's eyes curved, asked softly: "Gege, what were you doing just now?"
"This isn't important."
Ye Fan shook his head, caught Ning Xi's jade hand, pointed at the passage entrance not far away, "Let's go, I'll take you out for a walk."
"Ah?"
Ning Xi was stunned, said incredulously: "Th-this… isn't okay, right? Aren't we recording a program now? Can we go out?"
"Can."
Ye Fan pinched the girl's cheek, explained gently: "I've already sought the chief director's opinion, he agreed to let us walk around nearby."
"Wow, this is also okay?"
"Of course."
Ning Xi's brows and eyes lightly lifted. She stood up, pulled Ye Fan and headed towards the passage entrance, saying as she walked: "Was about to die of boredom, just right to go out for some fresh air."
Shen Li, sitting in the advancing contestants' seats, noticed the two leaving, her pretty face full of incomprehension, muttered to herself: "What are they going to do?"
Unfortunately, no one explained it to her.
Outside the Media Tower.
"Hoo——"
Ning Xi lightly exhaled, taking in the fresh air, her mood exceptionally jubilant. Her jade arm lightly took Ye Fan's. As if sensing the girl's joy, the cicada calls nearby seemed even more resonant.
Clear breeze, sunny day, peaceful years.
"Xiao Xi, hungry or not?"
Under the super strong infectiousness of the girl's mood, Ye Fan couldn't help but chuckle lowly continuously, his eyes gentle, "When we came in the morning, I saw a wonton shop nearby, want to go eat some?"
"Either is fine."
Ning Xi pointed towards the small paths left and right, her adorably dazed appearance as cute as could be, "So, Gege, which way are we going now?"
"Follow me."
The doting look in Ye Fan's eyes grew richer. He couldn't help but lean down and lightly kiss Ning Xi on the forehead.
Ning Xi's eyes lightly closed, the captivating beauty of her flushed fragrant cheeks simply couldn't be described with words.
The scene at this moment was so beautiful.
Two girls passing by not far away looked on with faces full of envy. No one could refuse this kind of divine love.
"People, people…"
Ning Xi slowly opened her eyes. Noticing the two girls more than ten meters away, she instantly felt greatly ashamed, pulled Ye Fan and ran towards the right.
Ye Fan's refreshing small voice echoed beside Ning Xi's ear, "Xiao Xi, there's a problem I need to mention?"
The girl, who had just run a few steps, hearing these words, couldn't help but stop, her shy eyes showing a bit more inquiry, "What?"
"Ran in the wrong direction."
Ye Fan pointed towards the other side, said with a beaming smile: "The wonton shop is over there."
"…"
A few minutes later, the two arrived before a shop named Hundred Year Wontons. The shop wasn't large, but exceptionally tidy, the hygiene conditions very good.
"Boss, two bowls of wontons, one large, one small, no cilantro."
"Alrighty."
The boss looked to be around fifty years old, his face kind. Wearing a tall chef's hat, he looked rather comical.
After sitting down, Ning Xi saw no one was in the shop, so she took off the mask on her face, her jade hand lightly tapping on the tabletop, "Gege, how did you know I don't eat cilantro?"
This point, Ning Xi had never told Ye Fan. Usually when eating at home, her mother would never put cilantro.
But she had never told Gege about this matter, how did he know?
Ye Fan picked up the teapot and poured two glasses of water, placed one of them in front of Ning Xi, pretended to be surprised: "Xiao Xi also doesn't eat cilantro? Such a coincidence, I don't eat it either."
"Liar !"
Ning Xi wouldn't be foolish enough to believe Ye Fan, said clearly: "Last time at your place, I saw you eat cilantro!"
"Cough cough——"
Ye Fan, who was drinking water, almost choked. He never ever expected this girl's observation skills to be so strong, even noticing such small details. His face couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
"Quickly say it, how did you know I don't eat cilantro?"
Facing the girl's inquiry, Ye Fan smiled mysteriously, "You told me yourself in my previous life."
"Pah——"
Ning Xi's eyes were full of reproach, "Just know how to fool people, believe you, my foot!"
But little did she know, Ye Fan's words were not a lie, but stating a fact.
Regarding Ning Xi's disbelief, Ye Fan didn't explain anything, chuckled to himself: "You are allergic to cilantro. As long as you eat a little, small red spots will appear on your body. Let alone eating, even smelling the scent of cilantro will make you lose your appetite. Am I right or not?"
"You, you… how do you know so clearly?"
