Keeping You On Tanter Hooks Chapter 8

"Are you hungry?" Song Yucheng couldn't help but chuckle.

Most likely because he was not under the camera's lens, Song Yucheng now shed his daytime pride, and his smile under the moonlight was unexpectedly gentle.

Liam Chu frowned and didn't respond, but the blush on his face became more obvious, and he looked more embarrassed. But Song Yucheng was not scared away by his coldness. Instead, he took the initiative to reach out and hold the rope on the bucket.

"Your posture is wrong, so when you don't have enough strength, you can't pull it up. You have to follow the direction like this, so it will be easier to use force." Song Yucheng taught Liam Chu in a gentle voice, and the distance between him and him became very close. Although there was nothing ambiguous in it, it still made Liam Chu nervous.

It was different from the disgusting feeling in Liam Chu's mind. Song Yucheng's skin temperature was cooler than that of ordinary people, like the finest jade. On such a night, the occasional contact between the backs of hands was also very easy to indulge in. Especially the doting and tolerant feeling in his eyes could naturally make people let down their guard.

But the more this happened, the tighter Liam Chu's brows furrowed. Because in his heart, the relationship between Song Yucheng and Tate Xu was always the most difficult knot to let go. In addition, in this situation, Song Yucheng's calmness made him look even more embarrassed.

This made him feel even more complicated.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely cold.

But for Song Yucheng, silence is not necessarily a bad thing, and the current Liam Chu makes him feel very cute.

In fact, from Song Yucheng's own perspective, the tragedy of the original body had nothing to do with Liam Chu from the beginning, and it was all Tate Xu's fault. Moreover, in the original world, although Liam Chu hated the original body, he also hinted to the original body during the filming of the show that he could help him. But the original body rejected the olive branch, so Liam Chu didn't bother to care later.

He is also the only person the original body has ever met who has good intentions towards him.

Although this kindness is nothing more than pity for the weak, Song Yucheng feels that it at least shows that the young man Liam Chu is not a bad person by nature.

Plus, he was pursing his lips with a bit of stubbornness, like an abandoned kitten, feeling extremely aggrieved but still showing his teeth to show how powerful he was.

People who look fierce and aggressive are quite attractive.

But think about it, he is usually a pampered young master, and a big star loved by everyone. Now he is thrown into the ravine, covered in dirt and dust. Who knows how much suffering he has endured during this day.

Song Yucheng has always liked pretty children, but this time he lost his temper when being looked at by Liam Chu.

"Come with me." Sighing, Song Yucheng smiled helplessly and took people to the kitchen.

"What are you going to do?" Liam Chu couldn't help but ask as he was being pulled away. But as soon as he asked, he felt that he had said something nonsense, so he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

However, the more nervous Liam Chu became, the more Song Yucheng couldn't resist his evil humor and wanted to tease him.

"Why are you acting like a stingy person? You are obviously gentle and reliable." Turning to look at Liam Chu, Song Yucheng teased deliberately.

"Aren't you the same? You don't even look people in the eye during the day." Feeling that he was looked down upon, Liam Chu narrowed his eyes, a little dangerously.

Is he going to stretch out his claws? Song Yucheng's smile deepened, but he thought that it would be too late if he continued to do this. He still had to shoot tomorrow, and he was afraid that he would make people too angry, so he stopped talking and just found some ingredients, started a fire and prepared to start cooking.

Eating too complicated food at night will cause indigestion, so a bowl of the simplest egg noodles is just right.

Song Yucheng's cooking skills were not as good as those of a master chef, but they were definitely above average. Especially now that he was trying to please people, he could make even the simplest dishes look good, smell good, and taste good.

The soup base made from bean sprouts and white radish has a natural fresh fragrance. Add a little sesame oil and salt for seasoning. Wait until the noodles are cooked and put them in after rinsing. It will be the most appetizing and refreshing soup on summer nights.

Finally, put a plump, white and soft-boiled egg on the top, add some pickled vegetables prepared by the landlady, sprinkle with some chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and a bowl of tempting egg noodles will soon be ready.

"Try my cooking." Song Yucheng placed the bowl in front of Liam Chu. He and the landlord had bought these ingredients before going to bed. He prepared a portion because he was afraid he would be hungry, and now he just happened to give it to Liam Chu.

Liam Chu hesiTate Xud for a moment, but still took the chopsticks and took a bite.

The taste was unexpectedly good. Liam Chu was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Yucheng with a bit of surprise, and then, at his urging, quietly ate the noodles.

Delicious food can always soothe one's mood just right. And a quiet environment can also tempt people to relax. Liam Chu's originally complicated thoughts also became much calmer.

Song Yucheng was not idle either. While Liam Chu was eating, he cleaned the stove.

There was movement and stillness in the small kitchen, and the atmosphere was very warm. Liam Chu looked at Song Yucheng's busy figure and felt inexplicably moved.

But in just a moment, he couldn't help but have another thought. Liam Chu was thinking, Song Yucheng was so skilled in taking care of people, was it because he usually treated Tate Xu in the same way?

With this thought, the delicious noodles suddenly became tasteless. But then, Liam Chu felt that this thought was very abrupt and weird, and he quickly suppressed it, but he always felt blocked in his heart.

"Thank you." Every time he met Song Yucheng, he would become a little strange. After finally finishing the last mouthful of noodles, Liam Chu whispered to Song Yucheng to thank him, and then wanted to stand up and leave quickly.

He felt really uncomfortable. Whether it was being taken care of by Song Yucheng in the same way he took care of Tate Xu, or being seen by Song Yucheng in such a miserable sTate Xu, Liam Chu felt at a loss as to what to do.

However, due to the hard work during the day, Liam Chu was now exhausted and his legs were sore and weak. For a moment, he could not stand up. Song Yucheng saw him and quickly helped him from the front.

Song Yucheng was shorter than Liam Chu. He was also tired after a long day, so his hands were not very steady. With Liam Chu's weight, they both stumbled. Liam Chu subconsciously hugged Song Yucheng and held him tightly in his arms.

"!!!" Liam Chu's body suddenly froze, as he rarely came into such close contact with people. His ears quickly turned red. Just like a kitten that was suddenly lifted up by the scruff of the neck, even the hair on his tail was about to explode. No matter which angle he looked at it from, he looked too innocent.

Song Yucheng was struck by his youthfulness and cuteness, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Liam Chu's ear as if teasing him.

How, how can you touch me so casually?

Liam Chu looked at Song Yucheng with wide eyes in surprise. But Song Yucheng calmly used his eyes to hint Liam Chu's hands that were still on his waist. At this moment, the kitten with its fur blown up immediately turned into a pufferfish, subconsciously took two steps back, turned around and ran.

"Hahaha." Song Yucheng looked at his back and couldn't help but lean on the table and laughed softly. His clear voice became particularly gentle because of the smile, and it seemed to be able to attract people's hearts.

Liam Chu heard it clearly and felt his face getting even hotter. After returning to his room, he dived into the quilt.

I just think that Song Yucheng is too frivolous! As expected, he still hates him.

Liam Chu thought so in his heart, but his eyes could not help but sneak a peek through the window at Song Yucheng's room. He couldn't tell what was in his mind, he didn't fall asleep until Song Yucheng turned off the lights.

On the other side, Song Yucheng returned to his room after Liam Chu entered the room and continued to work on the silk flowers.

As expected, teasing a pretty child can make one feel better. He was originally sleepy, but now he feels much more energetic.

---

This night was too hard for Liam Chu to endure. Maybe it was because he dreamed about something during the day, but Song Yucheng's last smile and the unexpected hug between them kept replaying in his dreams, which tormented Liam Chu for the whole night.

But when it was daytime and the camera was in hand, Song Yucheng's deliberate arrogance made the interaction at night seem particularly unreal. Liam Chu knew that Song Yucheng had a fixed character script, and now all this should be acting. The "frivolous" person who liked to tease people like a child last night was probably his true nature.

But even so, he still felt like he was in a dream. He couldn't even understand how someone like Song Yucheng, who had two completely different personalities, could act more flawlessly than an actor like him who was known as a "little drama bone".

Therefore, Liam Chu paid closer attention to Song Yucheng. He also began to pay attention to some small details of Song Yucheng's impeccable appearance. Especially before they went out, they accidentally found silk flowers in the corner of the yard that could be used to decorate straw hats. This made Liam Chu more suspicious whether these were all made by Song Yucheng to help them secretly.

In fact, Liam Chu secretly watched Song Yucheng last night and knew that Song Yucheng came out of the house at around 2 a.m. and seemed to have placed something here. And he recalled carefully that before they found the straw hat yesterday evening, it was actually Song Yucheng who was sitting here fiddling with it. In addition, Liam Chu found that they seemed to have forgotten a very important question, that is, how did Song Yucheng make so much money on the first day?

Based on all these details, the only answer is that the straw hats in their hands were all woven by Song Yucheng himself.

So, why did he go to such lengths? After all, the attitude of the five of them towards Song Yucheng could be described as quite impolite. Was it a casual help without any concern, or was it an order that forced them to do something they didn't want to do?

No matter which answer it was, it was not a pleasant one. Liam Chu's heart suddenly sank, and he felt uncomfortable. He glanced at Song Yucheng's closed door from a distance, and felt that there seemed to be some mystery there, and he would be able to see it if he opened it.

But now is obviously not the best time, he has to solve his own food and clothing problems first.

Thinking of this, Liam Chu withdrew his gaze and walked out of the courtyard with Max Li and the others.

---

Three days passed in a flash. With the help of Song Yucheng, Liam Chu and the other five finally managed to earn money and got through the initial difficulties. Then, the real challenge came, and the program team finally took them to the village.

However, this was not something to celebrate. Even Song Yucheng himself had never expected that the director team's routine would be so deep.

Unlike the previous seasons where they moved into farmhouses separately, this time, since they successfully earned money and paid the rent, they were simply thrown into a small courtyard that looked almost collapsed from the outside, but was even worse inside than the outside, to fend for themselves, and they received new plot tasks.

"Due to the limited funding of the program team, you cannot live in the farmhouse now, so you can only live here. As for the daily necessities you lack, you can buy them with the money you have on you."

Sh!t! Everyone was stunned. Even with Song Yucheng's money, they only had less than 300 yuan. But there were six of them, and they had to survive here for a month.

There is also another most important problem. The yard they are in now actually doesn’t even have a pot.

The people on the other side of the live broadcast room were laughing like crazy.

"Hahahaha, the director team is so cruel!"

"No, it's pitiful, but I want to laugh."

"Give my Liam Chu a hug. Why did I feel like my face turned pale the moment I heard the request?"

"It's okay to be a little arrogant. Don't you think Song Yucheng and Liam Chu look a bit alike from a certain angle? Standing like this, they really look like brothers." The last sentence was posted in Song Yucheng's own live broadcast room. After all, the gossip bloggers who were going to speak for Song Yucheng hadn't finished editing the video yet. If they said this in the main live broadcast room now, they would easily be scolded. But it's okay to show off in your own territory.

However, their atmosphere was cheerful, but on the other side, Song Yucheng's side was in a bleak sTate Xu.

The reason was simple. These young men were still immersed in shock and could not come back to their senses for a long time. The key point was that maybe it was because Song Yucheng was the first to make money that had a huge impact on them. Now the remaining few, including Liam Chu, subconsciously looked at him with a look of help.

... Song Yucheng was speechless. He had agreed to be a cuckold, but now he felt like he was just taking care of a child.

But even so, looking at the sun, I can't just stand there any longer, I have to at least fix the windows first. Otherwise, at night, even safety will be at risk.

Thinking of this, Song Yucheng decided to take action first.

Therefore, in the end, he used the same "encouragement" method as before to get Max Li and the others to take action. When the sun finally set, although the house was still shabby, at least the bed and doors and windows were tidied up, which would not delay their rest at night.

They bought dinner with the villagers nearby. With the price clearly marked by the program team, the cost of this meal was much more expensive than when they were in the small county town. Because of this, they only had more than 200 yuan left in their pockets.

But the blow that followed was what made them collapse the most. They had never expected that the production crew had gone so crazy that they were no longer human. The rent for such a shabby house was actually 500 yuan a month.

If they can't pay before midnight tomorrow night, they will be completely homeless and live on the streets.

Now, the young men, who had just filled their stomachs, were once again struck speechless by the huge bad news before them.
