CFJTM Chapter 184. “If you can’t eat it, you don’t have to eat it. You can cook for yourself.”

Winged Neko: Another wednesday chapter~

Character guide

Cao Min, first-line actress with friend Qi Lening.

Sun Shanjing second-line little flower with actress Liu Yueyun.

Luo Ye, second-line refreshing boy with second-line actress He Lixin.

Yuan Jun, a popular idol with his sister Yuan Lai.

Shen Rui, a second-tier refreshing boy, invited Tao Kai.


Yuan Jun and his meimei stood by the wall for a while, and waited until Yuan Lai felt that the time was right before they went in.

“We have cleaned the room. Can we help you?” Yuan Jun asked.

Yuan Lai nodded, “Han gw and Shen ge, your bedroom has also been cleaned.”

“Thank you.” Shen Qingshu said, “But there’s really nothing you can do here, so you can go out and wait. I’ll call you when dinner is ready.”

“Okay,” replied Yuan Lai.

Yuan Lai and Yuan Jun had just left, when Cao Min came down.

She came into the kitchen and looked at Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng. “What can I do for you?”

Shen Qingshu still remembered what she said before that she was not feeling well, so she didn’t come to clean the house, even didn’t come down the stairs, so he asked her:

“Are you better now?”

“Better. I just had a stomachache. I’m much better now.”

“Oh, that’s good. But we have nothing to help here, so you’d better clean your bedroom.”

“Don’t worry about our bedroom, Jing Jing and them are cleaning for us, so if you need it, they can clean for you too.”

Shen Qingshu wondered, “They are helping you clean? Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun?”

“En.” Cao Min responded calmly.

Shen Qingshu thought she was really interesting. Instead of cleaning her bedroom, she came here to help them cook.

“Aren’t you feeling better? Why don’t you clean it yourself?”

He had a good impression on Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun. He also knew that the other side did not have as high a status as Cao Min, so he couldn’t help saying a few words for them.

Cao Min seemed to have not expected that he would meddle in such matters. She smiled, “I was really not comfortable at that time, so I asked them, and they wanted to help.”

“Now that you are much better now, shouldn’t you go join them and clean your bedroom yourself?”

Shen Qingshu looked at her. “After all, that’s your bedroom.”

Cao Min didn’t speak for a moment.

Shen Qingshu didn’t want to have a conflict with her on the first night. However he couldn’t bear the attitude of Cao Min, who acted like a noble daughter- making others help her clean her bedroom, then turning around and ingratiating herself to them.

He is not a newcomer who knows nothing. He is the most popular here, with the identity of a producer and has the right to caste roles. Therefore, it is most cost-effective to approach him from the perspective of short-term plans in this variety show, as well as future development.

However, after all, we have to record the program together. Shen Qingshu decided to leave some room for the sake of face.

So he laughed, “Cao jie, you didn’t feel well before, so you don’t know. The girls are very tired. They cleaned the living room with us and they also offered to help us clean the bedroom because Han Cheng and I are cooking. I guess they didn’t tell you, so you didn’t know and came to help us, so that we can have dinner quicker. But we really don’t need any help, so you should back and help them. “

He was already considerate. He gave Cao Min a reasonable excuse to ask others to help, and explained why she asked others to help, but she came down to do other things.

But what Shen Qingshu didn’t expect was that Cao Min already knew.

When she saw Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun she asked them to help clean her bedroom. Sun Shanjing pointed to Shen Qingshu’s bedroom and said, “Shen ge and Han  ge are cooking, so we are helping clean their bedroom.”

However, when this came to Cao Min’s ears, she only felt that they were holding Shen Qingshu’s thighs to rub some heat. They could help clean Shen Qingshu’s bedroom, but not hers?

In terms of age, she is older than them. In terms years in the industry, she is their predecessor. In terms of position, she is also above them.

It’s just that Shen Qingshu is more popular, younger and a man. That’s why they are so attentive.

So she said without guilt, “Then you should be helpful to the end. I’m really uncomfortable. Please, since all of you are willing to help Xiao Shen clean. It’s not a problem to clean mine as well.”

How dare Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun offend her? It is not certain that they will no meet again in this circle. The little flower circle is only so big. They may have to play supporting roles for Cao Min in the future. If they don’t agree at this time, they may have trouble in the future.

So neither of them dared to refuse, and said, “Okay,” on the principle that it is better to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Shen Qingshu’s well-meaning words fell into Cao Min’s ears and became a mockery.

She was used to being arrogant. When she saw that he was ungrateful, she stopped pestering. “Then I will go back first, and you can work slowly.”

“En.” Shen Qingshu gave her a gentle smile, but felt quite uncomfortable with her in his heart.

Han Cheng waited until she left, then looked up at her and thought she was really troublesome.

He turned on the heat and let Shen Qingshu drain the water and prepare to cook noodles.

While Shen Qingshu’s was boiling the noodles, Han Cheng fried tomatoes and eggs, and planned to mix it with stir fried noodles to make a two-in-one tomato and egg fried noodles.

He stir-fried vegetables very quickly and Shen Qingshu’s noodles were almost cooked. Han Cheng finished the stir fried tomato and eggs and put them in a bowl.

Shen Qing sniffed the smell of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He was not so hungry at first but he felt hungry now.

“It smells good.”

“I’ll ladle more for you later.” Han Cheng laughed.

“Then I’d better ladle more for you. You are the chef.” Shen Qingshu tilted his head slightly.

Han Cheng smiled and asked him to take out the noodles. He refilled the pan with oil and slowly heated it.

The pot here is not particularly large, and the amount of noodles that can be cooked at once are limited. Shen Qingshu cooked six peoples worth at that time. So even if there were twelve bowls on the table at the moment, only six bowls were brought over with him.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to serve all twelve bowls evenly, but that is bound to leave everyone hungry and he will have to add a second more later, which is too much trouble. So it’s better to fill six bowls in two batches.

Shen Qingshu sprinkled scallions and chilli on the noodles, looked at Han Cheng and waited for him to pour oil.

Other people also came over smelling the fragrance and said, “It smells good.”

“I’m hungry.”

“I want to eat eggs. I love scrambled eggs with tomatoes.”

Shen Qingshu asked them to stand outside. “Don’t worry, it will be done in a moment.”

Everyone withdrew automatically and waited for dinner after a long night of toil.

Han Cheng saw that the oil was burning hot and poured a spoonful of oil into each bowl.

With the sound of “Zila”, the hot oil collided with the scallions and chilli noodles, exploding out with a rich fragrance.

“It smells good.” Luo Ye sighed.

Yuan Lai’s eyes widened in surprise. “It’s so powerful. I haven’t eaten this kind of noodle yet.”

Shen Qingshu poured a spoonful of tomato and eggs on top, then handed the chopsticks to Luo Ye, who was at the front of the line “Here you are, I didn’t put soy sauce, vinegar and salt, you can add according to your taste.”

“Great.” Luo Ye hurriedly took the bowl.

Others looked at him enviously, waiting for their share.

When Shen Qingshu turned around and handed the bottles of soy sauce, vinegar and salt to Luo Ye and He Lixin, he found that the rest of the people lined up automatically, just like the cafeteria in school. They stood obediently and craned their necks to watch. The only difference was that they had no plates in their hands.

Shen Qingshu: … They are really cute.

He immediately felt a sense of achievement, smiled and asked Luo Ye and He Lixin to take out the seasoning, then picked up the other bowls that Han Cheng had filled, and added tomato and eggs.

Yuan Jun and Yuan Lai, two brothers and sisters, were behind He Lixin, so they soon got their own dinner and left happily.

When it was Shen Rui’s and Tao Kai’s turn, Shen Qingshu asked them to wait. “When you cleaned the house just now, you two came last and did the least, so let Sun Shanjing come first.”

Shen Rui and Tao Kai looked at each other. They were dissatisfied but could not refute. After all, they were really lazy, so they had to step back and let the two girls go ahead.

Hearing this, Sun Shanjing hurriedly said, “Shen ge, it’s fine to give it to them first. Yunyun and I are in no hurry.”

“Yes,” Liu Yueyun agreed.

Shen Qingshu did not listen to them, but gave them an extra spoonful of eggs. “You two have been busy all day, too. Hurry and eat dinner then go back to have a good rest. There are still tasks tomorrow.”

His words were gentle, and the eggs in the bowl were golden, along with the smell of noodles, they looked super attractive. Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun looked at the noodles in his hands, and were touched for a moment.

The two of them are average in popularity, and their personalities are quiet. The advantage is that they will not offend others, and the disadvantage is that when they are sometimes bullied, they can only endure it.

They volunteered to help Shen Qingshu clean his bedroom because of the equivalent exchange. Shen Qingshu and Han Cheng had to cook, so they would have no time to clean their own bedroom, and they were eating the food cooked by Han Cheng, so it was fair to help him clean.

But they didn’t plan to help Cao Min clean. Yet they had no way out in that situation and agreed.

They are also very aggrieved. They are dissatisfied and unwilling, but there are cameras here, so they have to do everything, and can’t complain.

——The loss outweighs the gain.

So at this time, Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun’s defence couldn’t help breaking down after hearing Shen Qingshu say that and seeing him secretly adding another spoonful of toppings for them.

It felt like being comforted, that someone is caring about them.

They are in an unfamiliar place, their agent and assistant are not around,on top of being aggrieved. At this time, a caring word and a comforting action made the two young girls favorability of him fill up instantly. They felt that he was the best person they met during this trip!

Sun Shanjing took the bowl in his hand and whispered, “Thank you.”

Liu Yueyun also looked at him and felt that her nose was almost sore.

She immediately smiled, took her bowl, said thanks, and went out with Sun Shanjing.

It’s only six people per pot, so Shen Rui and Tao Kai have to wait for the next pot of noodles to be cooked.

Shen Rui felt that Shen Qingshu should have a problem with him, otherwise it would be impossible for everyone to get their bowl, but make him stand back.

He thought for a while, and thought that it should be because of cleaning, otherwise, there was no other reason.

However, Shen Rui doesn’t want to be hostile to Shen Qingshu. He specially asked his father to invest and stuff him in this time. He thought that since Shen Qingshu was in the show, it should become popular. So from the beginning, he didn’t intend to have a conflict with Shen Qingshu.

Therefore, Shen Rui didn’t say anything. He and Tao Kai continued to wait at the door, thinking that he could chat with Shen Qingshu and explain his thoughts this evening.

Shen Qingshu cooked the noodles again, and it took about 20 minutes to cook the noodles. Han Cheng poured oil and added tomato and eggs himself.

When Luo Ye saw that they had just come over with their bowls, after they had finished eating, he casually asked, “Why are you so slow?”

“After the noodles are finished, Brother Shen made another pot,” Tao Kai explained.

“Really? Then eat quickly. Brother Han is too powerful, and the noodles are too delicious. I want to eat another bowl of noodles.”

He Lixin finished eating at this time, and Luo Ye watched as he left.

Luo Ye watched him walk towards the kitchen, thinking that he also wanted another bowl, and stopped him quickly, “Do you want another bowl, too? It’s not good. Shen ge and they haven’t eaten yet. We don’t know whether it’s enough. Let’s wait until they finish eating.”

He Lixin looked at him in disgust, “I want you to come and help with me.”

Luo Ye: ? ? Huh ? ?

He Lixin went in and saw Han Cheng pouring oil. He went closer and said to him, “Han ge, go to eat. I’m finished so I’ll take charge of the rest.”

“Haven’t you all eaten?” Han Cheng asked, “Who else hasn’t eaten?”

Aren’t he and Shen Qingshu the last two?

“Cao jie and Qi jie have not come down yet.” He Lixin explained, “Yuan Lai has gone to call them and should be coming down soon.”

As soon as Han Cheng heard that it was them, he didn’t care. He said, “Okay, I’ll trouble you.”

“No trouble. Han ge and Shen ge have worked hard. You should eat more.”

Shen Qingshu is very fair. He only gave himself a spoonful of tomato and eggs, but gave Ha Ccheng two more spoonfuls. More work, more food, less work, less food. Han Cheng worked so hard, it is naturally worth more eggs.

Han Cheng looked at his biassed heart as deep as the Atlantic Ocean and helplessly gave him half of his eggs.

“This is compensation for your hard work cooking,” Shen Qingshu said.

“Thn this is also the compensation for your hard work,” said Han Cheng.

Luo Ye looked at it and said with a smile, “Hey, Shen ge, Han ge, don’t be modest. Even if you eat all of it, we have no problem. Go out and have dinner.”

“Yes,” said He Lixin.

Shen Qingshu went out with a bowl and sat at the table with Han Cheng.

As soon as he sat down, Sun Shanjing and Liu Yueyun were busy boasting, “Han ge, you are so good at your craft. These noodles were delicious. I didn’t expect it to look so simple and taste so good.”

“That’s right.” Shen Rui said hurriedly. “Noodles are also just the right texture. Han ge, are you a professional?”

Han Cheng smiled, “Of course not, it’s fine as long as you like it.”

Shen Qingshu was so happy and proud to hear everyone praise him. His boyfriend is so good that he should be praised more.

He was happily mixing noodles and preparing to eat when he heard Cao Min’s voice in his ear.

“Eat this? I know I knew I would be eating noodles tonight, but it’s too oily. My stomach is bad, and I’m losing weight. I can’t eat such greasy food.”

Shen Qingshu: …

Yuan Lai, who was responsible for calling her down: …

Others: …

Shen Qingshu put down his chopsticks, looked up at her, smiled and said, “You can’t eat it then don’t eat. There are rice and noodles in the kitchen, and you can cook for yourself.”

  2. “ They are dissatisfied and unwilling, but there are cameras here, so they have to do everything, and can’t complain.” so there are cameras on?? And people still act so conceited on camera???
    I’m so confused. What’s the variety show? The theme? The challenges? Just celebrities living in a house, doing chores?
    I thought the show hadn’t started yet so that’s why they acted all high and mighty but now I’m beyond lost.
    I guess we’ll find out in later chapters but so far this variety show sounds boring as hell (if not for HC and SQS, but they’re also showering so much obvious dog food when I thought they’d just be more discreet so as to slowly get SQS fans to adapt but who even knows anymore).
    Regardless, thanks for the chapter and love your work!

    1. -Winged Neko-

      Here’s my guess, because this variety show isn’t live broadcast and will be edited before being released, she thinks she’s so popular that the director and crew as a whole wouldn’t dare go against her? Cause she sure is acting conceited. This is just the first night of the show and there are for sure activities lined up later xD
      Thanks for reading and leaving such thoughtful comments!(。・ω・。)ノ♡

    2. Idk what challenges you want them to do since they just arrived. I think this show might be similar to big boss. I think miss Cao expects the crew to cut out all her bad parts since shes a first line actress

    3. The show is basically celebrities taking a two-day trip together, usually on shows like this they show clips from the celebrities first night in the shared home together and settling in, doing menial chores before the real challenges start in the morning to help the audience relate to them more. It’s pretty standard
