So I’m the Villainess- Screw the Plot, Let’s All Go Down Together!

Jiang Muxue smiled upon seeing the situation, “Vegetables don’t keep well. If the two of us can’t finish them, they’ll go to waste. Speaking of which, I wonder if Xu Che will come back…”

It was as if she suddenly realized she had said something she shouldn’t have, and Jiang Muxue abruptly fell silent, looking regretful.

[…Here comes the sarcastic sister again.]

[Baby Xue is just worried about Xu Che, is that wrong? Shouldn’t the blame be on Shen Zhi for driving him away?]

Initially, they thought that with Shen Zhi’s personality, she would at least retort a couple of times.

Unexpectedly, this time she didn’t say anything or engage in the topic about Xu Che. Instead, she smiled with an expression of sudden realization and replied cheerfully.

“Thanks for the reminder.”

With that, she stuffed one of the large bags of vegetables into Qiu Zefei’s hands, leaving behind a “help eat these so they don’t go to waste” before walking off.

Qiu Zefei was caught off guard by Shen Zhi’s sudden action and stood there, stunned.

How did she…

“Huh?” Zhou Yu happened to walk over, glanced at the items in Qiu Zefei’s hands, and was slightly surprised, “So much?”

“When we were doing the task, didn’t you say you wanted to eat salad? Hey, isn’t this just perfect…”

Qiu Zefei, having come to her senses, was momentarily taken aback.

Thinking of Shen Zhi’s nonchalant manner when she handed over the vegetables, Qiu Zefei lowered her head, pursed her lips, her face still cold as ice, but her eyes were filled with amusement.

[??? Could it be that Shen Zhi knew Feifei wanted salad and specially exchanged vegetables for her?]

[Feifei has a show next month and is currently on a diet. Whether Shen Zhi did it casually or not, it was a great help. Thank you!]

[Great, now only Fu Zhihan and Jiang Muxue’s group achieved the ‘injured’ status.]

[Heh, Shen Zhi really holds grudges.]

[If you don’t hold grudges, would you cheer on the side if the person you like slept with your rival?]

[Lol, the comment above is savage! But honestly, I really can’t see Shen Zhi liking Fu Zhihan.]

[I agree.]

Shen Zhi was naturally unaware that at this moment, none of the live stream room’s audience was shipping her with the male guests, but rather with the two female guests.

The group returned to the Heartbeat House with their ingredients as dusk approached.

Starting dinner preparations now, they could still make it in time for the meal.

After placing the ingredients on the counter, everyone exchanged glances, unsure of how to start with the seafood.

Jiang Muxue understood and smiled inwardly.

Refusing to share ingredients earlier, and now they’re all in the same boat?

She flashed a perfectly timed smile and suggested, “How about I cook this meal?”

Su Keke and Xie Jinyan remained silent, while Zhou Yu was about to agree but was stopped by Qiu Zefei stepping on his foot, causing him to inhale sharply.

It was clear to anyone that Shen Zhi and Jiang Muxue didn’t get along. If they agreed to let Jiang Muxue help now, where would that leave Shen Zhi, who had proactively shared ingredients with them earlier?

Sure enough, Shen Zhi was the first to speak, “No need, I can handle it myself.”

Su Keke also laughed and said, “No need, how could we trouble Muxue? Our group can manage.”

Although she knew that Young Master Xie Jinyan probably wouldn’t cook, she wasn’t too skilled in the kitchen either, but what she made was at least edible.

Qiu Zefei remained as indifferent as ever, “I’m having salad, it’s easy to prepare, no need to trouble yourself.”

Jiang Muxue’s smile stiffened slightly, turning to Zhou Yu, who was inexplicably grimacing, “What about Teacher Zhou? Surely you won’t just have salad with Feifei?”

Zhou Yu, still in pain from his foot, shook his head vigorously, “No need, just clean the seafood and boil it. It’s not difficult.”

Unexpectedly, no one accepted her offer.

Jiang Muxue was inwardly furious at Shen Zhi, the instigator, but outwardly she only showed a look of regret, “Oh, I was hoping everyone could try my cooking…”

Fu Zhihan couldn’t bear to see her looking so aggrieved and felt a pang of sympathy.

His gaze was so tender it seemed like it could drip water, and he spoke softly, “You can cook for me alone in the future, alright? Otherwise…”

The man’s voice was deep and magnetic, unconsciously lowering a few tones, “I’ll get jealous.”

Jiang Muxue was momentarily stunned, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she playfully punched him, “What are you saying? Everyone’s watching!”

Her coquettish demeanor made Fu Zhihan’s heart flutter once more.

[Isn’t this just a little lovers’ spat? They must be dating! They must be dating!]

[Aaaaah, as expected of the Han Xue CP, I’m dying from shipping them!]

[Fu Zhihan, what do you mean by ‘cooking for me alone in the future’? That’s practically a proposal!!]

Dating reality shows always have a fixation on having guests cook together. The production team specifically chose this villa with the largest kitchen among many others as the base for the show.

The Heartbeat House’s kitchen was spacious enough to accommodate all eight guests simultaneously.

At this moment, everyone was preparing for tonight’s dinner.

Shen Zhi was no exception.

She methodically washed the ingredients she needed, setting them aside for later use.

As she sliced vegetables and prepared the ingredients, her swift knife skills left the live stream room’s audience in awe.

[What the heck, what the heck, what the heck! Beauty in the kitchen???]

[What can’t Shen Zhi do? Look at her knife skills! Not only fast, but also evenly thick and thin! As someone with OCD, I find this extremely satisfying!]

[I wonder what dish she’s going to make? I’m totally looking forward to it.]

[Good news, our Sister Shen really has skills in cooking!]

Fifteen minutes later, Shen Zhi swiftly plated the contents from the pan.

The next second, a plate of charred, unidentified substance appeared on the counter.

Guest: “…”

Audience: “…………”

[Huh? Huh? Huh?]

[Bad news: Shen Zhi really only has skills.]

[…One bite of this and you might see your great-grandmother.]

[Alright, alright, I’ve seen half-hearted efforts, but never one so half-hearted.]

[No, you can tell Shen Zhi was quite serious.]

[Keep it down, is it really that funny?]

[Thank you all, this is even funnier hahahahahahahahahahahaha]

[A bunch of keyboard warriors¹ babbling here, if you’re so good, why don’t you try? You might not do better than her!]

[You didn’t let her off either.]

The live stream room was filled with laughter.

The guests really hadn’t expected that with Shen Zhi’s earlier stance, she could produce such a plate of hellish-level dark cuisine that was beyond recognition of its original ingredients.

Each of their faces was almost twitching.

Su Keke was struggling to hold back her laughter, her shoulders shaking wildly, and even her stomach was hurting.

Shen Zhi glanced over, her face calm and unfazed, “Alright, don’t hold back, if you want to laugh, just laugh.”

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha”

Shen Zhi: “…”

No need to laugh so loudly.
