Novel Bin Chapter 20
Even though Chen Che had specially emphasized it, Lin Xi felt that Chen Che’s so-called feast was definitely a simple meal.
However, no matter what she ate, she would not be picky.
At this moment, the live-stream started discussing.
[This poor guy is bragging again. What kind of feast can he bring her to?]
[That’s right. Don’t tell me they discovered another event?]
[Is he going to challenge the spicy chicken wings again?]
[Haha, this poor guy won’t stop until he eats himself into the hospital, right?]
…
An hour later, Chen Che brought Lin Xi to the mall and went straight to the fifth floor.
Seeing this, the comments in the live-stream instantly fell silent.
The netizens in front of the screen never dreamed that Chen Che would come here. They wondered if Chen Che was being generous.
Lin Xi was no less surprised than the netizens. The fifth floor was filled with delicacies, and a meal here cost at least $100.
To put it bluntly, even if Chen Che scrimped and lived frugally for a few days, he probably wouldn’t be able to afford this meal.
Thinking of this, Lin Xi hurriedly said, “Chen Che, actually, there’s no need to eat these. Let’s go eat buns. Those buns are also very delicious.”
In her opinion, perhaps it was because the comments online had affected Chen Che, or perhaps it was because her company had been affected, Chen Che felt guilty and wanted to make up for it.
However, Lin Xi did not want to do this because he knew that it was not easy for Chen Che to earn money. There was no need to do this.
Of course, Chen Che knew what Lin Xi was thinking. He chuckled and said, “Don’t think too much. Just follow me.”
Seeing Chen Che’s expression, Lin Xi could not say anything else.
The anti-fans saw that this was a good opportunity and hurriedly came out to leave their negative comments.
[You’re still saying that you’re not an actor. Have you had enough of pretending to be poor? Are you starting to spend again?]
[I knew it. How can anyone be so stingy in this world? Do you really think we’re fools? Can’t continue acting?]
[Haha, you want to use this method to clear your name? Dream on!]
While the livestream was discussing, Chen Che and Lin Xi had already arrived at the buffet barbeque shop.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chen Che took out two vouchers from his pocket and happily handed them to the cashier.
After checking that there were no mistakes, the cashier said, “Welcome, both of you. The full voucher is valid. Please pay the $20 deposit. After the meal, you can get it back if there is no food wastage.”
“Okay.” Chen Che quickly took out another 20 dollars.
When this scene appeared, the anti-fans instantly shut up. Clearly, their momentum has been disrupted.
Seeing this, loyal fans hurriedly stood up to criticize.
The anti-fans reacted quickly and quickly changed the topic. They mocked Chen Che again, saying that a pauper was pauper and they could only eat some free food.
For a moment, the live-stream started a war of words. It was very lively.
After entering, Lin Xi whispered, “Where did you get this voucher?”
Chen Che rolled his eyes and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I stole it today from work. Don’t tell anyone.”
Lin Xi’s expression changed instantly.
“You really believe it?” Chen Che chuckled. “This is a benefit given by the company. It’s given every month.”
“You’re so annoying. You only know how to tease me. Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Lin Xi gently pinched Chen Che’s waist.
Chen Che chuckled. “I wanted to give you a surprise. I want to maximize this coupon tonight.”
As soon as he said this, the comments immediately started: [This pauper didn’t spend any money to begin with, and he still wants to maximize? Where’s your dignity?]
After arranging the seats, the two of them started to get food.
Suddenly facing the sumptuous delicacies, Chen Che did not know where to start. He held the tongs and hesitated.
Looking at Chen Che, Lin Xi smiled without saying anything.
Because the two of them were followed by cameras, the other customers who were eating were also attracted. Soon, someone recognized the two of them.
Just like in the live-stream, gossip immediately spread around.
The two of them, who were already used to it, did not care. Moreover, they only had eyes for each other.
After this incident, the two of them became even closer.
Not long after, another couple arrived, followed by the camera team.
The girl’s name was Zheng Hui, and she was a model. She was tall and slender, and her long, waist-length hair. Her swaying waist and loose steps were enchanting.
Although she was not as good-looking as Lin Xi, she was still a beauty.
Her partner’s name was Fang Weixun. He had blond hair and looked like a hooligan. Official records showed that he was unemployed.
It was said that Lin Xi and Chen Che were not compatible. In fact, among the ten groups of contestants, how many were really compatible?
To put it bluntly, it was either for fame or for the final reward.
Therefore, in order to increase popularity, naturally nobody would not play by the rules.
On the surface, the organizers did not support it, but in their hearts, they hoped that this was the case. Because where there was a contrast, it makes for better tv. For example, Chen Che and Lin Xi.
On the other hand, if there were only ten ordinary couples, the viewership ratings would definitely be greatly reduced.
...
At the end of the day, the program’s ultimate goal was to make money.
At this moment, Lin Xi said in surprise, “We actually bumped into a contestant here.”
“Are they popular?” Chen Che asked.
“They’re Team Two. They’re not as good as us now.” Lin Xi smiled.
While they were talking, Team Two had already arrived. Coincidentally, they were arranged to sit at the next table.
“Yo, isn’t this Goddess Lin and the poor kid? Are you not eating buns anymore? Or are you unable to continue acting?”
Fang Weixun was surprised to see the two of them here. He did not hold back on his comments at all.
The reason for this was because he was jealous. He did not understand why or how he would lose to a poor man!
Chen Che and Lin Xi didn’t want to fight with the other party, so they chose to ignore it.
When Zheng Hui saw this, she crossed her arms and said, “Darling, why are you wasting your breath on them? If I knew they were here, I wouldn’t have come to eat. How unlucky.”
Fang Weixun said, “That’s right. It’s indeed quite unlucky. They saved so many days just to eat this meal. It’s really pitiful.”
...
“Alright, go get your things. It’s not convenient for me. I told you not to buy such a big one. It’s such a nuisance and a waste of money.” As she spoke, Zheng Hui sat in her seat and showed off the big diamond ring on her hand with a smug expression.
“Aiya, it’s fine. It’s good that you like it. Besides, it’s just a few tens of thousands of dollars. It’s nothing. I’m not like some poor people who can’t even afford a meal.” Fang Weixun sneered and mocked mercilessly.
There was no harm without comparison. At this moment, bullet comments flooded the live-streams of both sides.
On the other hand, Lin Xi and Chen Che still turned a deaf ear to each other and fed each other pastries.
Seeing that Chen Che did not retort, Fang Weixun lost interest in mocking him and got up to get food.
At this moment, four men walked over aggressively.
“Bastard, you have money to eat, but you don’t have money to pay me back, right?”
Fang Weixun was shocked and stood rooted to the ground, trembling. He no longer had the arrogant look from before.
Chen Che took a look. Wasn’t this a good opportunity for revenge?
He chuckled and said, “So you borrowed money to buy these? Although I’m poor, at least I don’t owe anyone money.”
“That’s right, that’s right. I wonder where he got the courage to laugh at others,” Lin Xi echoed.
