Eight days into this system schedule in New Zealand, the fourth episode of “Consuming Mild on the Highway” was formally aired.

That day was the Lantern Competition, catching up with the tip of the Spring Competition. Having constructed up the recognition of the earlier episodes, as quickly as this episode went on-line, the variety of clicks elevated steadily.

The viewers had been actively anticipating to see what issues the six friends would encounter within the strategy of operating the restaurant. In addition they wished to see Qi Xiaoyu cooking, Jiang Sicheng performing shamelessly, and Zheng Peizu settling accounts.

The one factor not included is the particular visitor.

Though the arrival of the particular visitor was teased earlier than the official broadcast, there was little anticipation for Fang Qi since her followers and the viewers of this present principally don’t overlap.

Earlier than Fang Qi joined Longjiang Satellite tv for pc TV as a bunch and have become a rookie within the leisure trade, she took the otaku goddess route, cosplaying recreation and comedian e-book characters, taking part in automobile exhibits, taking private images, and doing stay broadcasts. She was very talked-about amongst otakus, however she actually didn’t have a lot of a crossover with this present.

The present simply began, and as all the time, everybody hahahahaha-ed.

“Xiaoyu is so good-looking when sharpening a knife. I’m keen to be that whetstone.”

“Younger Grasp Jiang already has the paradigm of a dishwasher; look how expert the posture is.”

Not lengthy after, when Fang Qi all the time appeared subsequent to Qi Xiaoyu, the barrage was full of,

“My cub continues to be younger and may’t fall in love.”

“Xiaoyu continues to be a child; don’t seduce Xiaoyu; he gained’t perceive.”

“I’m laughing so exhausting proper now. He taught a woman to make use of fats meat to brush an iron pot. Solely he can consider it.”

“Little Cub, who solely has takeout baggage in his coronary heart, is so cute. It’s important to concentrate on being single like this.”

“This Fang Qi is kind of handsome, however when she meets a straight man of metal like Xiaoyu, there’s actually nothing she will be able to do.”

Whereas individuals are busy watching the present on-line, this system workforce is recording the content material of the day as traditional.

After seven days of attempting to earn a living, it was lastly their flip to exit and play!

The exercise association for this system group is skydiving.

New Zealand is a good nation for excessive sports activities, from deep diving to skydiving.

The skydiving location chosen by this system crew wasn’t too removed from the restaurant—about two hours’ drive.

Skydiving heights are divided into 9,000 ft, 12,000 ft, and 15,000 ft, permitting friends to decide on freely.

However… skydiving shouldn’t be everybody’s cup of tea.

Gu Meiling began complaining as quickly as she acquired within the automobile: “What I considered touring was taking images and ingesting afternoon tea. I didn’t anticipate that by the point I acquired to this present, each journey can be a self-challenge.”

Different timid ladies, like Xue Qingchu and Fang Qi, additionally confirmed uneasy expressions.

Unexpectedly, the one who was most afraid was Jiang Sicheng.

He was so scared that his total physique hung onto Qi Xiaoyu. “No, I don’t wish to do that. I’m afraid of heights; I’m afraid I would faint as quickly as I’m going up. There can be no program results. I urge the manufacturing workforce to let me go.”

Then he rotated and cried to the director with tears in his eyes, “Immediately is my birthday. Are you able to be extra tolerant of me, the birthday boy, and don’t let me do that? This may be the perfect reward you guys have ever given to me. I, Jiang Sicheng, will certainly bear in mind it in my coronary heart and always remember it.”

In fact, the director’s workforce ignored him.

However he was allowed to decide on the bottom altitude, 9,000 ft.

Jiang Sicheng cried out and signed his identify with a beneficiant expression underneath all circumstances.

Qi Xiaoyu selected the very best one, 15,000 ft. In addition to being afraid of the darkish, he wasn’t afraid of heights, bugs, or ghosts.

After signing, they placed on their skydiving fits and goggles underneath the steering of the teacher after which adopted the assigned teacher to study the fundamentals of skydiving.

New Zealand’s skydiving has a well-deserved fame. Once you soar from a excessive altitude, you will notice majestic mountains and sapphire-like lakes at your ft.

The magnificent surroundings makes you are feeling relaxed and glad, and you’ll neglect your worries after seeing it.

Irrespective of how a lot trepidation you are feeling if you go up, you’ll really feel good if you come down.

They went up one after the other and completed leaping one after the other.

Jiang Sicheng was the final one.

He dragged on till it was nearly darkish, nonetheless holding the director’s thigh and refusing to maneuver.

Later, Xue Qingchu got here to influence him and coaxed him up.

After coaxing Jiang Sicheng up, the garden under started to be arrange as effectively.

The employees of this system workforce positioned a number of wood tables on the garden, arrange a circle of stools, tied balloons, and positioned flowers.

Upon seeing it, Lu Tongtong pointed to the white balloons and pink flowers and requested, “How may he be so romantic as an enormous man celebrating his birthday?”

The employees was half helpless and half joking. “Younger Grasp Jiang requested for this. We are able to solely cooperate with him.”

Gu Meiling was half disgusted and half joking. “This child shouldn’t be dropping out by falling in love at public expense.”

After saying that, she instantly rotated and requested Qi Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, when is your birthday? Is it in the course of the recording of the present? If that’s the case, your sister will allow you to do it.”

Qi Xiaoyu was caught off guard and froze for a second.

He has no concept on which day his birthday is.

He was born out of wedlock, and his mom died not lengthy after he was born. He actually had no concept when he was born.

As for the birthday of the unique proprietor of this physique, the ID card appears to say January sixteenth, however he didn’t know whether or not it’s the lunar or photo voltaic calendar.

Individuals basically appear to have a look at the sixteenth of January as a photo voltaic calendar. At the very least, that’s what his followers thought. At the moment, he had simply come to New Zealand to report the present, and he wasn’t as in style as he’s now. Followers gave him a small-scale celebration on-line. Li Kun talked about this to him.

However it appears that evidently the date registered on the unique proprietor’s ID card is January 16 of the lunar calendar.

If it’s the lunar calendar, it needs to be inside these two days…

Qi Xiaoyu didn’t actually wish to point out his birthday these previous few days.

He actually envied Jiang Sicheng in this sort of regard. It doesn’t matter what he (JSC) wished, he may say it so brazenly and generously.

However he (qxy) can’t.

He all the time felt that there was an nearly weak sense of disgrace in voicing his wishes and wishes for others.

It could trigger stress for others and disappointment for himself.

When he was very younger, about 4 years previous, he noticed two cousins from his uncle’s household celebrating their birthdays and wished somebody to rejoice his birthday as effectively.

As soon as, he raised his head and requested his aunt in a low voice, when is Xiaoyu’s birthday?

In consequence, his aunt scolded him: “You little bastard even considered having a birthday. Your shameless mom didn’t even know which day you had been born, so cease daydreaming.”

Later, when he arrived on the opera troupe, everybody was a poor little one with out dad and mom, and nobody celebrated their birthday. Step by step, Qi Xiaoyu additionally forgot about birthdays.

Now that Gu Meiling instantly requested, he may solely reply vaguely with out revealing something: “It’s already handed.”

Gu Meiling nonetheless wished to pursue, “Is that so? What day is it? I’ll invite everybody to rejoice your subsequent birthday collectively.”

Luckily, at the moment, Fang Qi came to visit and requested enthusiastically, “Is Xiaoyu having a birthday too?”

Everybody then tacitly turned the subject away from Qi Xiaoyu.

There was no telling how a lot time Jiang Sicheng had spent within the sky, and when he jumped down, it wasn’t lengthy earlier than it acquired darkish.

They didn’t catch the sundown on the garden by the lake, so everybody may solely rejoice his birthday on the garden at night time.

Though it was darkish, happily the employees introduced many small string lights to embellish the desk with a romantic ambiance.

The night time sky in New Zealand can be extraordinarily lovely, with the Milky Manner so far as the attention can see and inside attain.

Jiang Sicheng sat within the center, with Xue Qingchu on the left, Qi Xiaoyu on the correct, and Zheng Peizu and Gu Meiling sitting reverse.

There was a yogurt cake in entrance of him, and a winged elf was made on the cake.

Qi Xiaoyu leaned again in his chair and appeared on the balloons and flowers within the night breeze, barely in a trance. He couldn’t assist however really feel that he was additionally celebrating the birthday of the unique proprietor or himself.

On the opposite aspect, Jiang Sicheng, who had simply completed skydiving, was trembling along with his fork and had no intention of consuming dinner or slicing truffles, inflicting everybody to maintain teasing him.

Lu Tongtong smiled with out giving him any face. “What do you suppose I ought to submit on Weibo to rejoice your birthday? Immediately I solely took images of you crying whereas holding the director’s leg.”

Gu Meiling added gasoline to the hearth: “I additionally took images of you crying out of worry on the aircraft. How about posting these?”

Within the photograph Gu Meiling took, Jiang Sicheng’s face was deformed by the wind, his facial options had been wrinkled collectively, and his form was indistinguishable.

Jiang Sicheng had a pitiful and aggrieved look on his face. “No, no, no, sister Meiling, please delete this photograph; let’s retake a gaggle photograph.”

So he requested the employees to assist take a gaggle photograph of everybody across the eating desk. In consequence, Jiang Sicheng took a glance and located that his face was pale and his curly hair was blown everywhere by the wind. It didn’t appear to be he was celebrating a birthday, however slightly it appeared like he had simply come out of a haunted home.

With a trembling hand, he deleted the photograph and strongly requested to take an image with out displaying his face. Everybody was requested to increase their fingers in the direction of the sky and create a V-shape, taking an enormous group photograph with the Milky Manner because the background.

After taking the group photograph, Jiang Sicheng considered it and solemnly warned them once more, “Overlook it; all my images immediately are too ugly to match this face of mine. You guys shouldn’t submit my images to rejoice my birthday.”

Everybody laughed. “Then you definately ask the director to easily lower this episode and don’t broadcast it.”

“Your picture immediately is kind of good. It’s you in your true colours, and it’ll undoubtedly appeal to a variety of followers.”

“Jiang Sicheng, lower the cake and eat it shortly. Should you don’t eat it once more, you’ll appeal to bugs.”

“Hey,” Jiang Sicheng shortly stopped. “Wait a minute; I wish to make a want first.”

“Don’t want quietly; everybody is aware of what you’re going to want.”

“Hmph, that too.”

Everybody laughed and fooled round on the garden for some time longer, till late at night time, once they packed up and returned to the lodge.

Xun Qian landed in New Zealand that night time and located a lodge to relaxation.

Though he was on a personal jet, the inside setting was luxurious and ample.

He additionally introduced a private physician to maintain him all through the complete course of.

However his physique was actually not tailored to long-distance flights.

As quickly as he acquired off the aircraft, he coughed a lot that his face turned pale, as if he had been about to die.

Track Yue, who was accompanying him, had a heavy look on his face, “Third Grasp, earlier than you get your physique in fine condition, subsequent time it’s higher to not take such a protracted flight.”

Xun Qian ignored him, pressed a darkish blue handkerchief to the nook of his mouth along with his truthful fingers, and coughed a number of occasions in succession.

Then he beckoned Zhang Han over: “I gained’t go there tonight; put together the dinner tomorrow.”

Zhang Han responded to Xun Qian’s intermittently suppressed coughs. After a protracted whereas, he lastly took half a step ahead, as if he couldn’t maintain it in any longer. He bent down and stated, “Third Grasp, is it price it so that you can do that?”

Xun Qian raised his eyebrows and glanced at him sharply from the nook of his eye.

Zhang Han pressed his head even decrease, realizing that he was speaking an excessive amount of, however after hesitating, he continued, “I heard that this system workforce has a brand new particular visitor, a girl, who may be very near Mr. Qi.”

After he completed talking, Xun Qian’s face darkened to the bare eye, and the air strain in the complete room instantly dropped a number of levels.

Xun Qian took the handkerchief away from the nook of his mouth and spoke slowly, Xun Qian took the handkerchief away from the nook of his mouth and slowly spoke, “Zhang Han, you used to comply with me, and also you had been extra cautious in what you probably did and stated than you are actually.”

“However…” Zhang Han took out his cell phone and wished to dig out the proof, however he stopped midway by.

When he acquired off the aircraft simply now, he tracked Qi Xiaoyu’s information. The primary of the recent searches was the scandalous incident between Qi Xiaoyu and a feminine anchor referred to as Fang Qi.

Maybe as a result of the feminine anchor posted a photograph underneath the starry sky revealing solely two fingers, followers shortly came upon that one of many fingers belonged to Qi Xiaoyu. After following this selection present for therefore lengthy, everybody was impressed by the hand that was nimble in chopping greens and had wonderful knife expertise.

Unexpectedly, lower than an hour later, when everybody was discussing whether or not Qi Xiaoyu had been captured by Fang Qi, the recent search dropped and the rumor was refuted.

The particular person concerned personally posted a clarification on Weibo.

Though Jiang Sicheng appeared reluctant within the group photograph, nobody cared.

Xun Qian took one take a look at Zhang Han’s face and understood every part instantly. He hummed softly, “I’m going to relaxation. Put together for tomorrow’s dinner.”
