The production team didn’t dare to be too hard on celebrities; after all, they had promised Xia Siyu a delicious meal. Although the lunch ordering segment was also part of the program activities, they still granted her the priority to choose first. So there was Xia Siyu, in her grimy and wrinkled clothes, slurping noodles from a bowl and keeping a close eye on the various dishes being served, just like a stray dog.

She didn’t just eat her own food; Qin Baizhou let her have some, and Wang Zisu did as well. He was very generous and said, “Sister Siyu, I’ve been dieting recently, so if you’re hungry, you can have my portion too!”

Xia Siyu hadn’t eaten anything that morning and was starving, so she unceremoniously took Wang Zisu’s untouched meal, boldly gulped down more than half of it, and finished the rest in a flash.

Qin Baizhou was beside her, wanting to say something but holding back, finding it both amusing and heart-wrenching, but after all, they were filming a show, so he couldn’t keep emphasizing that she should diet. If she wanted to eat, then let her eat.

However, during the subsequent activities, whether by the program team’s intentional direction or unintentionally, Xia Siyu’s tasks always seemed to relate to “eating.”

Shooting the variety show took place in a large theme park, famous locally for its delicious street food. But these snacks were all from roadside stalls, such as sausages, barbecued meats, spicy hot pot, fried chicken cutlets, fried skewers, stinky tofu, and the like.

Xia Siyu had never tried these roadside stalls before; she was abroad before and had debuted not long after returning to her home country. Today’s variety show task happened to be taste-testing different street foods, and there was no way she would pass that up.

From both a diet and health perspective, Qin Baizhou felt overwhelmed when he saw all the street food in her hands.

But beyond these two concerns, what Qin Baizhou himself didn’t even realize was that his words carried an underlying aversion to this kind of “street cuisine.”

It wasn’t just that he found it dirty and unhealthy; mainly, he disdained the plebeian lifestyle. He himself had been poor before, and now, even more so, he wanted to leap into high society to pursue Xia Siyu, and was determined to distance himself from his past.

But Xia Siyu was different; she didn’t have these concepts in her mind at all. The Western education she received emphasized “equality.” Whether feasible or not, since her childhood, she’d been taught accordingly. After returning to her home country, when the Xia family and other so-called aristocratic families looked down on her mother and her, she felt no affection for these intricate rituals of the elite. If it weren’t for the fact that being a celebrity prevented her from roaming streets and eating at roadside stalls, she probably would’ve lived even more carefreely.

After Qin Baizhou stopped her from eating barbecue for the N+1th time, Xia Siyu murmured an “oh,” silently walked away from the food stall, but couldn’t help looking back after a few steps. As she left, she turned off her microphone and seemed to complain, whether intentionally or not, “If it were him, he would definitely let me eat…”

Although the microphone was off, Qin Baizhou clearly heard her. He stopped in his tracks, and his face changed color immediately. If it weren’t for the presence of the camera crew, he probably would have come up to explain himself on the spot.

It turned out that his seven years of devotion couldn’t compare to a few skewers of barbecue from Bo Yan.

He really couldn’t understand; Xia Siyu hadn’t always been this way. He had devoted himself entirely for her sake; how could she change her heart so easily?

But not clarifying things wasn’t Qin Baizhou’s style. He stepped forward and after a long pause, he finally began to explain:
