Chapter 878 - 877: Snatching Food!

Yeah, this season ends, and only the final episode is left.

The finale should be special, right?

Guan Yu turned to ask Mu Qiu, "What do you think it’ll be like?"

Mu Qiu’s eyes darted around, "Not sure, what do you think?"

"I think it’ll be very different, maybe they’ll be generous enough to give us all a three-day trip to the Maldives!"

Shu Ran: "Dreaming so early?"

Besides, adjusting the guest schedules would be a huge problem.

Being teased, Guan Yu didn’t mind much, she leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh, "Feels like the pilot episode was just yesterday, and now we’re on the last episode."

Mu Qiu leisurely ate the mushroom with care and said, "Don’t be like that, Sister Guan Yu, no one’s going to charity donate a plane ticket for a three-day tour to you."

"...You’re such a chatterbox, can’t you just zip it?"

She shrugged, kept her mouth shut, and continued eating the mushroom with care.

Everyone finished the dinner with satisfaction... oh, except for Shi Yuhuai.

The production crew was merciless; they said there’d only be mung bean porridge, so there was only mung bean porridge, not even some pickled vegetables. Shu Ran pitied him and gave him something.

But Shi Yuhuai suspected it was only because the pickled radish was too salty and spicy for her, so she ’kindly’ gave it to him.

While everyone else discussed whether braised duck or sticky rice chicken wrapped in lotus leaves was tastier and how the side dishes for the spicy rabbit were perfect, he could only sip on mung bean porridge with pickled radish, feeling both pitiful and lowly.

So after dinner, he immediately went to the buffet and took a portion of braised duck.

The restaurant service was great, takeout boxes were right there, and he just took it, neither his assistant nor the crew had time to stop him.

Mu Qiu and Guan Yu, with nothing to do after eating, helped to cover for him, and they took not only a portion of braised duck but also two small servings of red bean soup with tofu pudding.

Shi Yuhuai’s agent was so embarrassed he could barely lift his head.

Too embarrassing.

But others didn’t think it was embarrassing, just funny, even Cheng Zhirang was laughing when he went to fetch Mu Qiu back.

"How come you’re eating again? Isn’t it what Shi Yuhuai took?"

Mu Qiu swallowed a golden chestnut, licked the corner of her mouth, and walked out of Shi Yuhuai’s room with him, smiling:

"Things taken right under the director’s nose are meant to be shared to have that special feeling. Don’t be fooled by Brother Huai’s disdain, he left most of the chestnuts for me. Oh, Li Yang also sneaked over and took a couple of bites."

A few people dashed away from the production crew and agents just to eat a bit of braised duck, it’s hard to know what to say about that.

Cheng Zhirang couldn’t help but laugh, "With so much food tonight, won’t you feel uncomfortable?"

"Nope."

After saying that, she glanced at him, and when heading into the room, she changed her tune, "Actually, I do feel a bit uncomfortable, but if you rub it for me, it’ll be fine."

A teeth-grinding sound came from the corner: "Ewww—"

Mu Qiu turned her head and glared at Guan Yu and Li Yang behind, "What’s the matter, never seen people in love? It’s late, aren’t you going to sleep instead of going out to steal cows?"

After saying that, she pushed Cheng Zhirang into the room and slammed the door shut with a thud.

Cheng Zhirang started laughing again, letting her push him, and slowly took two steps into the room, then wrapped his arms around her waist.

"... Your belly’s kind of popped out, and you’re not feeling uncomfortable?"

"Can’t you talk properly? What do you mean ’popped out’? I’m not pregnant..."

What the heck, this really does look like pregnancy.

Her belly was a little plump, wearing a loose t-shirt dress, and Cheng Zhirang’s hand was around her waist, palm resting on her belly.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward for a moment.

Cheng Zhirang touched her belly, loosened his hand, and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"You ate too much at dinner, you might really feel uncomfortable, make sure to tell me if you’re not feeling well. Stay here tonight, I’m not exactly comfortable with you staying by yourself next door."

She relaxed a bit, not continuing the pregnancy topic, and half leaned on his arm like a dozing cat.

"Sure. Come with me to get my luggage later. It’s so hot today, but not tiring, except playing that water cube game was pretty exhausting."

"If you’re tired, wanna sleep?"

She shook her head, "Not just yet... Do you think I’m eating too much?"

Cheng Zhirang was a bit taken aback, "How could I? I was just worried you’d feel uncomfortable eating a bit too much."

"But you said my belly’s popped out, aside from pregnant women, when does a woman’s popping belly look good?"

"...You look good. Even with a popped belly, you’re cute."

"Ugh, that kind of CEO-style affection to deceive an innocent girl doesn’t suit us."

She snuggled up against his shoulder and let out a soft hum, rather coquettishly.

Cheng Zhirang looked down at her, tilting his head slightly to touch her head, and suddenly brought up a previous topic.

"Remember the dream I told you about?"

She arched her eyes, giving him a glance, "What dream?"

"Dreamed that you shrank, really really small," he gestured the height with his hand, "when you stand, just above my knees, and when you sit, just big enough to sit on my slipper. So tiny, white, and soft."

Did he really dream so vividly? With this kind of... sci-fi or fantasy child-rearing dream?

Mu Qiu didn’t move, "And then?"

"Because you were too small, when you sat on the bed, you took up just a tiny spot, and when you crawled up, you looked at me teary-eyed, saying you wanted a hug. Never took care of a child before, and had no kid stuff at home, was a bit flustered.

After buying everything needed, you elegantly tilted your head, saying you wanted all clothes laid out to pick, only wear the pretty ones, even pajamas had to buy two more, and specifically instructed they had to be giraffe-themed."

She definitely remembered the giraffe part. Last time she thought he’d gift her some sexy camisole, but it turned out to be a giraffe onesie, making her think he got into this cosplay thing all of a sudden.

Turned out it was all because of this dream.

She gave him a look, pinched his hand, signaling him to continue.

"After getting dressed, needed to wash up. A child’s towel and toothbrush were tiny, the towel was only palm-sized, the toothbrush too pitifully small, but still, your small hand couldn’t fully grip it, with dimples on the back of your hand, poking them made you curious, then wanting to cry."

Talking about this brought a smile to his face, "Why so keen to threaten, you weren’t really crying, just had a tearful look to act all cute, couldn’t take a step without a hug to the living room for a meal. Meals had to be made separately, spoon, bowl, chopsticks all separate, small and soft, sitting in a tall baby chair shaking feet eating steamed egg, speaking while eating, truly leaving what you disliked untouched, deliberately picked to the other side, looking at you you’d laugh and insist on a hug, couldn’t bear to get mad."

Listening to this, Mu Qiu curled her toes, even now she had a habit of shaking her feet while eating.
