“Buzz—!”
“Buzz—!”
Two more vibrations from her silenced phone sounded. Just like yesterday, Bai Baozhu once again received two love text messages.
Looking at the two love texts she received, Bai Baozhu felt a bit bewildered.
Especially seeing the ‘quarrel’ love text Jiang Boyan sent her, which made her think he was just sick in the head!!!
A certain double-standard Future Empress thought, if you’re here to participate in the show, then participate! The production team even said these were confession love texts! What the hell is this you’re sending via a love text? And on top of that, questioning her cooking skills???
『Today’s Yangzhou Morning Tea wasn’t authentic. I’ve had the most authentic Yangzhou Morning Tea.』
Just like yesterday, Bai Baozhu rolled her eyes hard again, then fiercely deleted this message.
『Thank you for the crème brûlée. Good night.』
If Bai Baozhu was angry after seeing Jiang Boyan’s so-called love text, then her reaction upon seeing Bo Shenyu’s love text was—utter confusion, completely baffled!
She makes one dessert, and this person sends a love text, and the phrasing of the text is exactly the same as last time.
The key point was, this person didn’t even like sweets.
So… was he sending a text to protest??? Telling her not to make desserts next time??? That’s why he was reminding her like this???
Bai Baozhu looked at that love text, which seemed neither like a confession nor a quarrel, and was truly filled with question marks.
In the end, since she couldn’t figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it. Whatever! It wasn’t like she liked them anyway, so who cared what texts they sent! She’d rather spend that time watching more cooking videos than thinking about them!
“Zhu Zhu, let’s go back to sleep.”
Today, in the Girls’ Floor lounge, Xia Tiantian was the first to put down her phone.
It was as if she had completed some mission; she had completely let go and become very carefree.
“Mhm, let’s go, Sister Tian Tian.”
After bidding goodnight to Ye Jingyu and Su Han, Bai Baozhu and Xia Tiantian left the lounge.
Seeing Bai Baozhu and Xia Tiantian leave, Su Han also put down her phone, preparing to hurry back to sleep and rest. After all, starting tomorrow morning, it would be her turn to cook!
“Jingyu, I’m going to sleep first. Good night.”
“Okay, good night.”
On the female guests’ side of Love Cottage, everyone had already retired for the night.
However, on the male guests’ side—none of them could sleep!
Because… tonight’s love texts had completely thrown everything into chaos!
Though some were restless and sleepless because they had received love texts, while others were overthinking and sleepless because they had not received love texts.
Tonight, the fellow sufferers Wei Wenbo and Lin Dong each received one love text.
But the content of these texts left them both somewhat confused.
Wei Wenbo received a love text that was clearly not from Su Han.
Although his publicly known identity on the show was that of a diligent civil servant, in reality, he had another identity—a highly popular online novel author.
Therefore, his understanding and sensitivity towards text were more nuanced than others.
He could analyze who might have sent a text based on the writing.
Having not received a text for a long time, he easily saw that the text he received today absolutely could not have been from Su Han.
But aside from Su Han, he had very little contact with the other female guests. He had basically no interaction with Xia Tiantian and Ye Jingyu at all, so for the moment, Wei Wenbo had no idea who had sent this love text!
As for why Lin Dong was confused after receiving a love text, it was because… the love text he received wasn’t a love text at all, but a message cursing him out!
The content was simple and brutal, making Lin Dong feel a bit guilty.
『Scumbag! Big Pig’s Trotters! Please stay away from girls you don’t like in the future!!!!!!』
Looking at this text, Lin Dong’s mind immediately conjured the image of Xia Tiantian’s face earlier that day, laughing and crying as she confessed her feelings to him.
He felt quite uncomfortable inside.
Only then did he realize that if you don’t like someone, it’s better not to give them hope from the very beginning.
“Sigh…”
“Sigh…”
The partners in misery sharing a bedroom—Wei Wenbo and Lin Dong—sighed at the same time.
At that moment, the two sleepless souls realized the other was also awake.
“Brother Bo, you’re not asleep yet?”
“You’re not asleep either.”
Discovering neither was asleep, they simply sat up and started chatting.
Meanwhile, the two male guests in the other bedroom were also, quite tacitly, tossing and turning sleeplessly because they hadn’t received a certain love text.
However, there was still a difference between these two male guests.
That was, Jiang Boyan truly hadn’t received a single love text. But Bo Shenyu had received two love texts!
The only similarity was that both were troubled because they hadn’t received a love text from Bai Baozhu.
Jiang Boyan: Second day without receiving a love text from Bai Baozhu, missing her… pah!
Bo Shenyu: Is my phone broken???
…
A sleepless night. The male guests, already lacking energy from not sleeping well, were even more listless facing the nutritious breakfast Su Han made today!!!
“Today’s breakfast is—marble pancakes, fried egg toast, ham and pork floss sandwich…”
Listening to Su Han’s energetic introduction and looking at the table full of eggs, ham, bacon, milk, salad dressing, and other staples of Western food…
Everyone fell into a collective silence. Although Su Han’s spread was truly lavish! And it looked more appetizing than the Western food she usually made.
But after this group had tasted the crab roe soup dumplings, crab roe noodles, jadeite shaomai, three-diced meat buns… and other delicious Chinese dishes Bai Baozhu made, where did they have any appetite left for Western breakfast???
Especially when they sat down to eat Su Han’s Western-style breakfast, they found the taste this time was… odd…
They felt every dish had a sweet taste to it. The key was, items that should have been savory had this sweetness added, making it really strange. The taste wasn’t exactly bad, but it certainly wasn’t good either.
But facing Su Han’s expectant gaze, the others couldn’t say much. After all, they weren’t the ones cooking, so they’d just have to make do.
However, while the others didn’t say much, Bai Baozhu, a chef highly sensitive to flavors, couldn’t bear it.
“Sister Han Han, did you mistake sugar for salt? The flavors are all mixed up.”
Bai Baozhu very bluntly pointed out that every breakfast dish Su Han made had sugar in it, though she gave her an out while saying it.
Although she didn’t directly say it tasted bad, her slightly furrowed brows said it all.
Seeing someone take the lead and speak up, the other dating guests all chimed in, agreeing with Bai Baozhu.
“Yeah, Xiao Han, did you mix up the salt and sugar?”
Seeing that everyone had been eating just fine, but now, because Bai Baozhu suddenly piped up saying there was a problem with her breakfast, everyone stopped eating.
Especially Bo Shenyu, who only took one bite of the fried egg toast before wiping his mouth and stopping, his brows slightly furrowed. Su Han truly hated Bai Baozhu, this meddlesome woman, to death.
In her eyes, Bai Baozhu was doing this on purpose! She just didn’t want Su Han to make a good impression on Bo Shenyu!
Now, because Bai Baozhu said these breakfast items were sweet, Bo Shenyu definitely wouldn’t touch any of the food she made in front of everyone again!
After this incident, Su Han thoroughly hated Bai Baozhu.
However, being overly confident and viewing herself through too thick a filter, how could she know that Bo Shenyu only taking one bite of her food had absolutely nothing to do with Bai Baozhu?! It was purely because his palate had been spoiled by Bai Baozhu’s cooking.
Moreover, Su Han’s breakfast this time, which was neither properly salty nor sweet, really didn’t suit Bo Shenyu’s taste. So after one bite, he completely lost his appetite. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
“Heh, hehe, maybe I made a mistake. I’ll be more careful next time, I’m really sorry.”
No matter how furious or angry Su Han was inside, on the surface she still smiled naturally and apologized to everyone with sincere-sounding words.
The others, who originally felt the breakfast wasn’t that great, felt a bit awkward seeing Su Han apologize so formally.
They also felt a little embarrassed, after all, they were the ones who didn’t cook, yet they were nitpicking Su Han’s ‘faults’. It seemed a bit too aggressive!
“Xiao Han, you don’t need to apologize to us. The breakfast was still very good.”
“Su Han, why are you, the cook, apologizing to us? We should be thanking you for making us such a lavish breakfast.”
…
This breakfast ended slightly awkwardly amidst everyone’s polite praise for Su Han. Compared to the relaxed and joyful atmosphere created by Bai Baozhu’s Yangzhou Morning Tea the day before, it made everyone’s favorable impression of Bai Baozhu rise even higher.
Before, when there was no comparison, everyone always thought Su Han was truly a good girl—beautiful, kind-hearted, a great cook, and with a good temper.
But after experiencing Bai Baozhu’s cooking, everyone now realized that Bai Baozhu was the one who was truly that beautiful, kind-hearted, great cook with a good temper!
Perhaps before, it was due to an overly thick ‘Western food filter’ and the fact that none of them could cook, which had led to Su Han’s culinary skills being ‘mythologized’…
By noon, after Su Han made slightly sweet spaghetti, steak, and baked rice,
Everyone’s filter of ‘Su Han is a great cook with excellent culinary skills’ completely shattered.
With their appetites severely diminished, everyone wished this day would hurry up and end! They really, really wanted to keep eating the delicious food Bai Baozhu made!!
…
Just as the dating guests of Love Cottage were eating Su Han’s Western food, nearly developing a shadow over it, the recording for the eighth episode of the Love Cottage Celebrity Observers began.
