When Chu Yi said this, Meng Lan felt a little awkward. In the past, she would also participate in some very formal dinners for the sake of the travel agency’s sales. Everyone would always speak out of courtesy too.

She was completely able to handle it at that time, but Chu Yi’s style of speaking as if she was being genuine had caught her off guard now.

“Look, Chu Yi, the beauty who just won the Best New Artist Award, is so humble. Why’d she win the award otherwise?” Meng Lan said something more courteous in an odd tone as a response and the self-introduction event came to an end.

Ruan Jing did not say anything. She just looked at the apron that Chu Yi had casually scrunched up and thrown on the kitchen counter.

For some reason, she looked at the apron and felt that Chu Yi was not someone who liked to cook.

However, this was not something she should think about.

Chu Yi naturally came to the middle of everyone, seemingly planning to participate in the next segment, but no one had thought of what to do next. However, since there were eight of them, they could start preparing for other performances so that Chu Yi could also participate.

In the end, the eight of them used toothpicks to decide who would start first. Coincidentally, the first to perform was Ruan Jing.

Ruan Jings crafting skill was obvious to all. The performance she had prepared was also very unique to her. It was hand shadow puppetry.

The production team’s staff quickly helped her set up the lighting to cast a shadow. Ruan Jing smiled shyly at everyone and began her performance.

She sat behind the lamp, her face soft and quiet, but her arms and hands were covered by a black cloth, so it was impossible to see how she worked.

Even though it was daytime, in order to make Ruan Jings performance go smoothly, the production team put in a lot of effort to help her set up a cover that could clearly reflect the shadow.

Ruan Jing’s fingers moved and turned into a cute little rabbit. The little rabbit bounced around but met a wolf. The little rabbit ran away in a panic. As it ran, it turned into a bird and flew up to a branch. The wolf was helpless under the tree and left dejectedly.

However, this was only the start.

The shadow that appeared on the screen again was a pair of slender and beautiful hands holding an apple.

Then, the pair of hands suddenly disappeared and came back as a girl holding an apple with one hand.

“Is it Snow White?” Sheng Chuan asked softly and excitedly.

The others did not say anything but nodded. Ruan Jings performance confirmed Sheng Chuan’s guess.

She acted out a short story of Snow White by herself with just a pair of hands and some props.

After the story ended, Ruan Jing let out a long sigh of relief.

“That’s all to my performance. It’s just a little trick I liked to play when I was a child. I did my best.”

Sheng Chuan was the first to applaud. “You’re amazing, Xiao Jing! How can you conjure so many things with just your hands? If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I’d really suspect that there are several people hiding in this big cloth cover! ”

Ruan Jing was still the same, blushing whenever she was praised. She scratched her head in embarrassment. “What’s so amazing about this? It’s just a child’s play.”

[Ruan Jing just said that she could only study under the streetlights when she was young. Is that how she learned hand shadow puppetry?]

[I think so! My heart’s about to break when I think of such an obedient and cute little girl sitting by the roadside and playing with her hands! ]

[I love her so much. She’s such a beautiful and pitiful little sister. I really hope that she can get out of her unhappy family environment.]

When they were introducing themselves earlier, everyone was doing it in a clockwise order. Now, they were doing it in a counterclockwise order, so the next one after Ruan Jing would be Sheng Chuan.

However, Sheng Chuan’s performance could only be watched outdoors, and it still needed some setup.

It took some time to set up Ruan Jings screen and lighting as well, so the mysterious dish that Chu Yi had prepared was almost ready.

Chu Yi stood up and smiled. “Why don’t you all try what I made first? You’ll have the strength to perform next after you’re full..”
