Chapter 407 Storytelling in the Middle of the Nigh

“Wah, it’s really tasty!”

He Jia took a sip of the soup and immediately started singing praises. “Moreover, it leaves a warm feeling in my stomach. So comfortable. Diet therapy is really effective. Sigh, Old Huang, it seems I’ll need to move over to your residential area in the future.”

“He Jia Sensei, you’re trying to get free food every day aren’t you?” Wei Daxun made a snide remark.

Huang Lei’s face darkened. He sighed and said, “Ever since the last two seasons, quite a number of people within the industry had already moved to my neighborhood.”

“Is that so? Hahaha...” the rest of them laughed along.

“He Jia Sensei, you shouldn’t just fix your sights on me. We have another notable chef in our midst. Furthermore, he knows medicine too.” Huang Lei shifted their attention back to Ye Lingchen.

He was not trying to pick on Ye Lingchen as everyone was just casually chatting. Moreover, they all knew of Ye Lingchen’s talents, therefore it was not considered a boast.

“God Ye, why don’t you show us your skills?” the group immediately looked at Ye Lingchen.

Although Zhao Liangying still felt angry at him, her eyes still glowed with anticipation. It could not be helped as she was a serious foodie.

“That’ll depend on my mood.” Ye Lingchen shrugged.

Although Life’s Struggles was not scripted and was purely a record of their day-to-day life, everyone had their own role. Huang Lei was naturally the chef. In fact, his culinary skills were quite good and were considered to be at a professional level. Of course, it was still incomparable to a monster like Ye Lingchen.

Given their roles, Ye Lingchen, as an outsider, should not steal the limelight. He was not one of those braggarts that loved to stir up trouble.

[Depends on his mood? God Ye is really arrogant! He’s the one with the least experience in the entertainment industry amongst them right?]

[Hahaha, now this is real, unlike those celebrities putting up a facade.]

[It has always been dependent on his mood. Why should God Ye be cooking to begin with?]

[I wonder if God Ye’s cooking is really that good. He must show us his skills before the program ends.]

...

Although Ye Lingchen was straightforward, he did not attract the ire of the crowd. Everyone finished their meal happily.

After dinner, they gathered at the gazebo. The night breeze was undoubtedly cooling, basking everyone in a wave of comfort.

While sitting in the gazebo, Zhao Liangying could not help but recall her earlier mistake; her expression turned awkward. Fortunately, nobody paid much attention to her looks at night.

“The night time scenery here is very beautiful,” Wei Daxun lamented as he watched the multitudes of lights from the village below.

The area was surrounded by mountains with a meandering stream somewhere further down the mountain. Green Grass Village was built along the banks of that stream. At the moment, both sides were illuminated by the dim yellow lights from the lamps, giving off a unique atmosphere.

It gave off the impression of a secluded family hidden deep within the clouds.

“That’s right. Ever since the first season, I’ve fallen in love with this place and decided to be the regular guest over here,” Huang Lei shared. “When I’m free, I plan to bring my kids over here for a holiday.”

“Old Huang, I’m in the same boat. This is the real utopia!” Hu Jia chimed in as well. Following that, he pointed at the sky. “Just look at the stars in the sky. I’ve only seen this many stars when I was just a kid.”

The night sky was like a huge black screen, peppered with a sky full of stars. They were like naughty little children, playing hide and seek at a distance.

Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er looked upward together. “Wah, it’s really pretty!”

Just as they lamented, both of them were stunned, then exchanging looks with each other awkwardly. This time, they once again spoke in unison.

Ye Lingchen looked at them, silently celebrating in his heart. Luckily chose to remain silent ever since that mishap from earlier.

“Pfft—”

He Jia laughed so hard, his stomach was hurting, and could only stop after some time. “Wahahaha, I can’t take it anymore. What’s wrong with both of you tonight? You’re way too in sync.”

“The chances are just too unlikely, and it happened multiple times in a row. I’m estimating it to be a one in 100 thousand chance of happening, perhaps even one in a million. You both are really spiritually connected.”

[Hahaha, this is interesting. Baby Ying and Goddess Yue’er must be besties in the past.]

[Fate, this is fate! The tacit understanding of goddesses.]

[Even their astonishments are the same. Too bad this time God Ye didn’t join them. What a pity.]

...

Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er surreptitiously peeked at Ye Lingchen, then once again exchanged glances with each other before quickly looking away, chuckling internally.

Both of them felt speechless as well.

Such phenomena were very rare. At the same time, their sixth sense told them that they were not the only one that had some little secrets with Ye Lingchen.

That feeling made them feel a little uncomfortable. They were laughing it off internally, but at the same time cursing at Ye Lingchen, ‘Jerk!’

Fortunately, the rest of them could not hear their inner thoughts, or they would be in another laughing fit.

Ye Lingchen somehow felt a little strange. Although the group and their laughter were focused on Zhao Liangying and Hu Yue’er, both of them for some reason decided to stand beside him, landing him in an awkward situation.

Furthermore, he could feel that both of them would occasionally shift their focus onto him.

‘What’s going on? Is taking part in a variety show this troublesome?’

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose, then clapped his hands together. “Everyone, since it’s the middle of the night, it’s a good time for some storytelling. Why don’t I share one of my stories with you?”

“Your own story?”

As expected, everyone’s attention shifted toward Ye Lingchen. Hu Yue’er and Zhao Liangying were no exception.

“Your stories need to be told in the middle of the night?” He Jia asked out of curiosity.

Ye Lingchen nodded. “That’s right. I hope you’re ready.”

Just as they were getting interested, one of the female crewmembers approached them eagerly. “God Ye, is this the story you were telling in the car earlier today?”

“Story in the car?” Wei Daxun looked at the crewmember’s expression. “Is it interesting?”

The crewmember nodded. “Very interesting, and scary at the same time. Until this moment, the people in the stream are still urging God Ye to tell the story.”

“OMG, this is amazing!” Huang Lei gave Ye Lingchen an astonished look. “God Ye, I realized that you’re truly amazing. You know everything. Awesome!”

Ye Lingchen was just about to speak, yet hesitated. “I’ve told one part earlier today. Where should I start?”

“God Ye, why don’t you start from the beginning? Since you didn’t tell much anyway. Moreover, there weren’t many viewers at that time too,” suggested the crewmember. She knew that Ye Lingchen’s story had already piqued the interest of the program crew. The director had in mind to ask Ye Lingchen to share more stories due to the positive feedback from the viewers.

“Alright, then we’ll get started!”

Ye Lingchen nodded and immediately lowered his voice. “This will have to start from when I was nine years old. That was when a kid started to remember...”
