The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 196: Chapter 197 Bearing the Blame

Live streaming room.

“This saltwater boiled shrimp is almost foolproof, and salt isn’t expensive, so you can catch the shrimp yourself,” Fu Yunhe said as he scooped out the red, shiny prawns with a spoon.

Palm-sized shrimp were placed on a plate lined with green cabbage leaves, the shallow green and orange-red colors were quite pretty.

[Does anyone want the cabbage leaf underneath?]

[I do.]

[How do you eat this thing?]

[I guess you can’t eat the shell.]

[Can you eat the head then?]

Fu Yunhe had already picked up a big shrimp and started to peel it in front of the camera.

“Throw away the head, throw away the legs, peel off the shell.”

A shrimp with a pinkish back and some white on the body playfully wiggled in front of the camera, looking a bit bouncy.

“Now you can eat the shrimp meat,” Fu Yunhe continued. “When you catch the shrimp, other fish species will also end up on shore. No matter what kind they are, do not harm the young ones, release them back into the sea.”

[The host is right!]

[We got it, we need to leave some for tomorrow.]

[Exactly! Like us in the interstellar, we have protective policies for the young.]

[Oh my, I want to eat it!]

[Me too, it looks so tempting.]

Fu Yunhe didn’t say much else and directly started the saltwater shrimp taste test.

He let the comment section buzz without interference and continued to make the next dish: tomato sauce shrimp.

[Oh my God! This shrimp meat is so delicious.]

[I feel like I’ve missed out on an entire planet.]

[I live by the sea, and I’ve missed countless opportunities right before my eyes!]

[I’m so curious, why did Mr. Xiao He ever think to eat this?]

[Same question!]

[+100 to the same question.]

As Fu Yunhe was now stir-frying the tomato sauce shrimp, he glanced at Nian Shutong and said, “I’m just a cook, someone else invents the recipes.”

[Ohhh!]

[Big news! Who is it? Who is it?]

[Such a awesome person.]

[It would be so nice to live with such a person!]

[There would be delicious food every day.]

Fu Yunhe had already plated the tomato sauce shrimp, their even brighter red color and the sweet and sour flavor were making lots of tomato sauce aficionados itch to try them.

“We indeed eat very well every day,” Fu Yunhe said no more but proceeded with the virtual taste test. Once the scramble was over, he cleanly exited the live stream.

The viewers, used to the rapid sign-off, did their usual thing,

rushing into the small shop, and when the shelves were cleared, many flooded into the Little River Live forum.

[Mr. Xiao He went offline so fast.]

[Not just fast!]

[Aside from other things, I wonder how quick the Big Guy is?]

[What things? This is a respectable forum.]

Seeing that the conversation was taking a turn, the moderator interjected a few words, and everyone’s focus shifted back to who exactly was the mysterious recipe inventor.

[I bet it’s Mr. Xiao He’s boss.]

[I agree, although we haven’t seen Mr. Xiao He’s face, he seems handsome.]

[Not necessarily, maybe just the hands are good-looking.]

[Can we not digress? The mystery person is the topic.]

[Why care so much! I only care about the delicious food.]

[Truth above!]

No matter how, as the mystery recipe inventor, Nian Shutong went viral again, even landing the tenth spot on the trending search list.

As for herself, she didn’t feel much about it. After all, when you’ve had enough of a mysterious identity, it’s just that and nothing else.

Small wooden house.

After ending the live stream, Fu Yunhe tidied up and stopped Nian Shutong who was about to leave.

“Nian Shutong, I need to talk to you.”

“Okay.”

“Wait for me a moment, I have to make sure Elder Hua gets some rest first.”

“Sure,” Nian Shutong wasn’t in a hurry to practice cultivation, so she simply sat outside the small wooden house, facing Dou Dou, who had followed her all day.

As for Dou Dou’s mother, she was holding a pen and a notebook, furiously writing something.

When she finished, curiosity brimming over, she looked at Rubble with seeking eyes.

“Teacher Rubble, I don’t quite understand dynamic equilibrium.”

“Here…”

Ji Sisi’s sweet and glutinous voice sounded again in Rubble’s ear. Rubble glanced at Fu Yunhe, who had just ended his live stream. It turned out that Yun He had quite a pleasant voice.

These thoughts flash through Rubble’s mind just briefly. His nature made it hard for him to refuse Ji Sisi’s questions, so the two of them began the teaching activity again.

Rubble said his first sentence, and Ha Ha stood up and left, covering his ears as he did so, his eyes filled with incredulous accusation towards Rubble—brother, you’re killing me.

When Rubble uttered his second sentence, both Nian Shutong and Dou Dou stood up. For the first time, big and small resonated together, wondering why anyone would like this stuff.

By the time he reached the third sentence, the delivery people all silently picked up the pace—work faster!

And yet, the only one who remained was Elder Hua, engrossed and nodding his head from time to time.

“Right, right, that makes sense.”

“Not bad, not bad, you’re correct.”

Fu Yunhe, with surprise in his eyes, squatted in front of Elder Hua and asked, “You can understand this?”

“I don’t know.” Elder Hua responded with a deep ‘I don’t know’, still nodding, “It just seems kind of right.”

Fu Yunhe didn’t know what he was expecting, so he didn’t ask further. As long as Elder Hua was alive, that was good enough. He began to coax Elder Hua to rest with him.

“Elder Hua, let’s rest.”

“No.”

“Let’s go!”

“No!” Old Man Hua turned away like a child in a huff.

“If you rest well, there will be strawberries to eat tomorrow.”

Fu Yunhe played his trump card.

With one sentence, Elder Hua wagged a finger at Fu Yunhe. As Fu Yunhe stood up, he heard Elder Hua whisper, “Eat now!”

Fu Yunhe was about to give in, but then Dou Dou came over.

Dou Dou’s chubby-faced seriousness was directed at Elder Hua, “My auntie said, if you don’t behave, there’ll be no strawberries for you tomorrow!”

“Hmph!”

Elder Hua snorted in disdain, stood up, and pointed at Fu Yunhe, “He insists on making me eat!”

“But I already said no eating!”

Elder Hua, with hands behind his back and with full authority, walked back into the small wooden house, into Fu Yunhe’s room.

Behind him, Fu Yunhe just felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the core.

Elder Hua, is this really okay?

Fu Yunhe got up to follow Elder Hua, then saw Dou Dou’s “wise beyond years” pat on his trouser leg.

“Uncle Xiao He, you’re an adult now, you need to behave!”

Dou Dou left as well.

Fu Yunhe, already standing, watched Nian Shutong not far away and started to crack a wide grin.

He looked and then burst out laughing.

What was the reason? Why did a single sentence from Nian Shutong work when he had talked for so long and still ended up being the fall guy?

The only silver lining seemed to be that it amused her.

Fu Yunhe shook his head, feeling a bit defeated as he entered the small wooden house. Before he could get into the room, he saw Elder Hua sound asleep.

Sleeping so fast?

But why on the bed he was supposed to sleep on?

He clearly had two beds in the room; the other slightly smaller, but not cheap by any means.

“Ah…”

Fu Yunhe sighed. He felt his life was going to be full of color again.

Rubble, Ha Ha, and now there’s this old childish man Elder Hua, the real child Dou Dou, and the unpredictable Nian Shutong.

‘Colorful’ was an understatement.
