How did this star become more popular after his scandal?

Chapter 136 The most ambiguous period (please order the full version)

A seaside resort community in Hong Kong.

As soon as Jiang Yu landed at the Hong Kong airport, he was taken to the recording location by the production staff. The seaside resort, with its sea breeze and sandy beaches and ocean-view rooms, made the living conditions for this recording quite good.

"Teacher Jiang Yu is here. Over here, the song you and Teacher Su performed last episode received the highest popularity votes. You can stay alone in the beach house over here."

On Jiang Yu's side, Director Hu stopped Jiang and pointed to a two-story building next to him.

Living alone in a small house?
And this benefit.

Jiang Yu glanced at the small ocean-view villa in the middle, labeled with the production team's logo, and then at the two-story cottage next to it, which Director Hu had awarded them as a first-place prize. It was true that having so many guests living together was a bit noisy, but staying in a separate room was more comfortable, and they could enjoy their own private time.

Well, don’t think too much about it. I just think that living together as a partner will help us to have in-depth communication on music.

He looked at Director Hu and asked, "Is this the only group that will be staying here?"

"Yes, this is the benefit of first place. The funds for the cabin will be more. Then Teacher Jiang Yu and Teacher Su can travel around Hong Kong and find inspiration."

Director Hu really wanted to say, right or wrong, that this cabin was indeed specially prepared for the first place winner. After all, after every performance, the popular performer must get some reward. But this reward, living in a cabin all to himself, was also a last-minute addition by Director Hu. He really wanted to see what kind of sparks would come out when Jiang Yu and Su Muwan lived alone together. Anyway, he also wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the dating variety show. In the last episode, Jiang Yu and Su Muwan had such a good partnership, it felt like a couple filming a dating variety show.

Jiang Yu nodded and walked into the two-story cabin next door with his suitcase.

He originally thought Su Muwan was still on the plane, but when he entered the room, Su Muwan was already sitting on the sofa, drinking yogurt and eating snacks. Hearing the noise, Su Muwan immediately looked up, and after seeing that it was Jiang Yu, her brows became more satisfied.

"coming."

"You came so early, did you fly here directly from abroad?"

Jiang Yu put his luggage in. When Su Muwan saw that he had luggage, she went forward and found a pair of slippers for Jiang Yu to change into.

"Well, I just arrived a while ago. It seems that the others haven't arrived yet."

Jiang Yu watched Su Muwan take out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on her feet. She was wearing a purple knitted cardigan and a white French hollow dress underneath. She looked fresh and noble, with her soft hair spread out, and she looked cold yet gentle.

This scene looks very much like a good wife waiting for her husband to come back home.

Seeing this scene, especially when Su Muwan put down her slippers and stood up, subconsciously brushing the hair that fell on her cheek, Jiang Yu was also a little dazed. It seemed that he suddenly thought of the scene of married life.

"The apartment is on the second floor. I've already chosen it. Go and take a look for yourself."

Su Muwan came first and was more familiar with the house than Jiang Yu. She took Jiang Yu to the second floor.

The rooms on the second floor all face the sea, and you can see the beach. Jiang Yu looked around and decided to stay opposite Su Muwan.

"The accommodations this time are pretty good. The production crew is quite generous."

After Jiang Yu put his luggage away, he went downstairs and sat in the living room on the first floor to chat with Su Muwan. At the moment, they were the only two there.

Su Muwan leaned back on the sofa. The weather in late October was already quite cold, especially at the seaside. Although the weather was sunny, the temperature difference between day and night was quite large. Su Muwan's cute little feet were covered with white cotton socks. She placed them on the sofa, folded together, and played with her phone.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Su Muwan nodded. The production team was indeed very generous. She also didn't expect that the production team would give them a reward for first place, to live in a small room by themselves.

Su Muwan didn't think much of living alone with Jiang Yu while recording the show at first. But then she thought, why does it feel like Director Hu's show is becoming more and more like a dating show?
At this time, there was movement in the yard. Jiang Yu and the others looked through the glass windows of the small room and found that it was Shen Hongyu and Li Xueyao who had arrived. They came in first, and Teacher Mao Yiming and Lin Yi followed.

Jiang Yu and Su Muwan also stood up and went out to greet them.

"They're all here."

Shen Hongyu and the others also knew that the first-place group, Jiang Yu and his friends, could live alone in the small house next door. They were a little envious and they also wanted to live alone in the small house.

"Wow! Sister Mu Wan, this is the reward the production team promised us for your group's first place win. This little house is pretty nice."

Li Xueyao looked at the two-story cottage next to her and suddenly felt that the big villa next to her didn't seem so good after all. This two-story cottage looked nice, small and exquisite. Most importantly, there weren't that many people there, so she didn't have to worry about others and could be a little more unrestrained.

Shen Hongyu looked at the small house where Jiang Yu and Su Muwan lived alone and smiled, but there was an unspoken look in her eyes.

The production team had Jiang Yu and Su Muwan live alone together. Although it was said to be a reward, Shen Hongyu was thinking in her heart: Everyone knows the relationship between Jiang Yu and Su Muwan. Could it be that the production team arranged this to hype it up?
After all, it is eye-catching enough for the two of them to appear on the show together. When the time comes, they will live together separately. This show has a bit of a dating show feel to it. When the time comes, it will be hyped up and it will be hot, right?

Director Hu smiled and said, "Don't be envious, everyone. We have prepared rewards for everyone. Of course, Teacher Jiang Yu and Teacher Su will live in separate cabins and will have to take care of their own meals. If everyone is willing, we can all live in separate cabins in the future. This will give each group a better opportunity to communicate and create music."

Director Hu smiled broadly. He was just trying it out this time. He could give each guest a separate cabin for the next recording. Having them live together would allow them to better exchange music, and it would also help capitalize on the popularity of the dating variety show, further hyping up the couple. Ideally, he'd wait until everyone got to know each other better before giving them another chance to swap partners. Perfect.

"Everyone, put your luggage away first. We will have two guest stars coming over soon. They will be joining you for this Hong Kong recording."

Are there any guest stars?

When everyone heard that there would be a guest star coming this time, they were a little excited. After all, they were newcomers, so everyone was always curious.

Shen Hongyu and her friends lived in the big villa, so Jiang Yu and Su Muwan came over to play with them. There was no other way. Although the program team asked them to cook their own meals, the main group was here, and Su Muwan was familiar with Shen Hongyu and Li Xueyao, so she had to come over to play.

"Hello, everyone!"

At this time, the door of the villa was opened by the staff of the program team, and two guests, a man and a woman, walked in. When they saw everyone in the living room, they waved and greeted them politely.

"Hello!"

A man and a woman, both singers in the same circle, probably second-tier, with high popularity. Jiang Yu took a look and saw that the flying guests invited by Director Hu were all a combination of handsome men and beautiful women. This Director Hu, is he really planning to do a dating variety show?
Now that the two guest stars have arrived, Director Hu is also telling everyone about some of the rules for the next few days.

"Alright, everyone's here. The groups remain the same. Our two guest stars will automatically be in one group. The next few days will follow the same rules. Each group will explore Hong Kong and find creative inspiration. We'll perform on the last night, and each group must sing at least one song..."

The big villa was occupied by all the guests, including the permanent guests. Jiang Yu and Su Muwan did not stay after dinner. The production team had asked them not to come for free meals and to leave independently to make their own meals.

"Let me see what's in the refrigerator."

Jiang Yu looked at the refrigerator in the cabin. The program crew had prepared ingredients for tonight, but it was only for tonight. They would need to buy them themselves later.

Some green peppers and tomatoes, as well as pork and eggs.

Su Muwan stood behind Jiang Yu and looked at the ingredients in the refrigerator, eager to try them.

"I'll make some scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

She thought she could help with the cooking. She hadn't been able to do it before, but she had tried and learned from watching some videos online. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes was a simple dish, and she had made it twice at home before, so she decided to give it a try.

When Jiang Yu heard that Su Muwan was going to cook, his expression was a little strange. While taking out the ingredients, he stared at Su Muwan suspiciously and asked a question.

"Are you sure? Will you do it?"

If he remembered correctly, his sister's cooking skills were incredible, and she rarely even entered the kitchen. When they were together before, he was the one who cooked at home. This time, Su Muwan took the initiative to cook. Although scrambled eggs with tomatoes was a simple dish, Jiang Yu still had a hint of skepticism in his heart.

When Su Muwan heard Jiang Yu's words and questioned herself, she also snorted.

"I've done it at home, so don't look down on me."

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan's arrogant look, and went into the kitchen with tomatoes and eggs, as if he was going to do a big job and show off his cooking skills to himself.

"Then I'd like to see our Queen's cooking skills. Well, I think I'll be in for a treat tonight."

Jiang Yu smiled. When Su Muwan heard this, she raised her chin slightly and snorted proudly.

"Tonight I'll let you try the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that I made."

Jiang Yu took the green peppers and pork in, and put the rice into the rice cooker to cook. There was no need to cook too much rice for the two of them to have dinner, so it would be ready in a short while.

He walked into the kitchen and watched Su Muwan washing tomatoes. It seemed like that was the case.

Jiang Yu watched Su Muwan washing tomatoes and it seemed that she did know how to cook.

"Not bad, your movements are quite skillful."

Su Muwan snorted proudly. After washing the tomatoes, she went to get a knife and a cutting board to cut the tomatoes. Jiang Yu helped her get them and put them away, and went to the sink to wash the green peppers.

As a result, Su Muwan, who was quite skilled at washing vegetables at the beginning, seemed rather clumsy when cutting vegetables.

She held the knife handle and cut the tomato carefully and slowly, as if she was afraid of cutting her own hand. The tomato, which was originally easy to cut, took her a long time to cut.

When Jiang Yu saw this scene, he just smiled and said nothing.

"Well, my knife skills are just okay."

Su Muwan didn't realize Jiang Yu was teasing her. Seeing the tomatoes she had cut, Su Muwan felt a sense of accomplishment. She thought back to when they were together before, when Jiang Yu always cooked and she could only watch from the side. Jiang Yu also complained that she couldn't cook and what she would do without him in the future.

After the breakup, Su Muwan was alone for a while and started learning to cook by watching videos online. Although she didn't have much time to cook, she at least knew a little bit.

Hearing Jiang Yu's words, Su Muwan felt very satisfied. Looking at the green peppers and pork that Jiang Yu had washed, Su Muwan said, "Do you want to make stir-fried green peppers and pork? I'll cook tonight, you go outside and rest." Jiang Yu saw this and felt a little worried: "Are you sure?"

He was still a little worried about Su Muwan's cooking skills. From the way she cut the vegetables just now, it could be seen that this woman was not the type who often went into the kitchen.

Su Muwan looked at Jiang Yu's worried look and said, "Oh, don't worry, I can cook now. I'll let you taste my cooking skills tonight."

It seemed that Su Muwan really wanted to show herself in front of Jiang Yu, wanted to show off her current cooking skills, and wanted to let Jiang Yu know that she was no longer a newbie who had never been in the kitchen.

Su Muwan stretched out her little hand and pushed Jiang Yu out of the kitchen. Seeing this, Jiang Yu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll try our Queen's cooking tonight."

He looked at the aprons at the kitchen door, then at Su Muwan's clothes, took off an apron and said, "Put on the apron."

Su Muwan, holding a knife, saw the apron in Jiang Yu's hand and instinctively turned away. Jiang Yu naturally put the apron on her, and his arm went around Su Muwan's slender waist. Jiang Yu could feel the slenderness and softness of her waist. Standing behind Su Muwan, Jiang Yu was a head taller than her and could smell the delicate fragrance of Su Muwan's hair.

Jiang Yu could see Su Muwan's slender and white neck like a swan, which made him want to bite it.

"All right."

Jiang Yu's voice rang in Su Muwan's ears, and the hot breath he exhaled hit her neck, feeling a little hot and itchy. A strange feeling welled up in her heart. Looking down at the apron Jiang Yu had tied for her, Su Muwan was a little dazed.

Why did I subconsciously let him surround me?

Everything seemed so natural, even Su Muwan only realized after it was over that this action seemed a little bit intimate for the two of them.

However, Su Muwan looked calm as she walked into the kitchen to prepare cooking.

Jiang Yu didn't think much of it. After finishing Su Muwan's work, he sat on the sofa in the living room and played with his phone.

This scene surprised Director Hu and others who were watching the recording in front of the monitor. The cottage where Jiang Yu and his friends were staying was completely different from the villa next door.

Over there, the boys were cooking, while over here, it was Su Muwan who was cooking. Although it was Su Muwan who took the initiative to ask to cook and drove Jiang Yu out of the kitchen, the contrast between the two sides was still quite striking.

However, it seems that Jiang Yu and Su Muwan were arranged to live together alone, and they got along very naturally. The scene just now really made them look like a young couple living together.

Director Hu also smiled. He was right. Jiang Yu and Mu Wan's filming turned out better. His show really had the quality of a dating show. Next time, he'd have to separate the groups of guests and have them live separately. This dating show would be even better. Then, he could swap guests around. Hehe, once the guests were familiar with each other, the show would definitely be a hit.

Jiang Yu was sitting on the sofa playing with his phone when he heard the intermittent sound of chopping vegetables from the kitchen. He could imagine Su Muwan clumsily and carefully chopping vegetables and meat.

After a while, Jiang Yu heard Su Muwan scream, and he was so scared that he quickly got up and rushed into the kitchen.

"what!"

"What happened?"

As soon as Jiang Yu opened the kitchen door, a cloud of smoke hit him in the face. The oil in the pot was already on fire. Su Muwan tried to turn down the fire, but the fire grew bigger and bigger. The oil splashed and seemed to hit her. She was so scared that she saw Jiang Yu and quickly shrank into his arms.

Her voice trembled slightly, a little aggrieved, but also a little embarrassed and self-blaming: "Jiang... Jiang Yu, there's a fire..."

Jiang Yu held her in his arms and immediately went forward to turn down the heat a little, then poured the meat in with one hand. With the addition of something, the flame in the pot was still there, but it gradually became smaller. He let go of Su Muwan and protected her behind him. Then Jiang Yu poured the green pepper in and stir-fried it.

"It's okay, it's okay. You just burned too much fire and the oil burned. It's okay."

Jiang Yu was cooking while comforting Su Muwan.

"Did the oil splash on you just now?"

Jiang Yu turned around and looked at Su Muwan, who was still in shock, and asked.

Su Muwan felt a little guilty and shook her head.

"I thought the oil would stay hot for a while, but...it just ignited instantly."

Su Muwan's voice was still trembling, and she looked aggrieved and self-blaming, which made Jiang Yu, who wanted to tease her, feel a little reluctant.

"It's okay, you go out first, leave this to me."

"But……"

Su Muwan thought about how she had just said that she would cook dinner today, but now it turned out to be a mess, so Jiang Yu had to do it in the end.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Jiang Yu stretched out his clean hand and subconsciously pinched her face, which was soft and smooth.

"Okay, I'm here for you. Be good and go out and play with your phone. We'll be eating soon."

Su Muwan was so consumed with self-blame that she didn't realize Jiang Yu's actions were a bit too intimate. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and walked away feeling disappointed.

"OK then."

When Su Muwan sat on the sofa, she suddenly realized that Jiang Yu's actions just now were a little too intimate.

She touched her cheek, and it seemed that the touch was still there. Su Muwan glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and her ears turned slightly red.

Am I too close to him?

Given our current relationship, why do these actions feel a bit awkward?
But even if I feel any resistance or disgust in my heart, what is my relationship with him now?

Partner? Colleague?
Or...good friends?

Well, they are definitely good friends. Helping a good friend to tie an apron and pinch your face shouldn’t be a big deal, right?

When I was so close to Yang Xue, we often slept together. We were good friends, yes, good friends.

Meanwhile, Director Hu's mouth curled wildly as he glanced at Su Muwan's manager, Zhou Wenqian, who hadn't noticed. He felt he hadn't misjudged Jiang Yu and Su Muwan. There really was something going on. Director Hu had seen everything that had happened in the kitchen just now. Such an intimate gesture, Jiang Yu even pinching her face, and the word "good boy" sounded like something a young couple would say.
Hehe, I told you there was something going on between these two. Ever since he invited Su Muwan, Director Hu had been thinking there might be something special between Jiang Yu and Su Muwan. While it didn't seem like they were really getting back together, it looked like that wasn't far off. What stage were they in now? It was like that ambiguous phase where exes get back together.

Sometimes, the ambiguous period is the most exciting.

And judging from Su Muwan's behavior in the kitchen just now, she subconsciously did not hide aside, but hid in Jiang Yu's arms. This is enough to show that in Su Muwan's heart, Jiang Yu is someone she trusts very much.

Do you still say it doesn’t matter?
Director Hu suddenly felt that he should just follow Jiang Yu and the others in filming. These two people were so interesting to watch.

In Jiang Yu's cabin, Su Muwan had just gone out for a while when Jiang Yu had already cooked both dishes.

"Mu Wan, wash your hands, get the dishes and chopsticks and get ready for dinner."

If Su Muwan wants to feel involved, just let her do something.

Sure enough, when Su Muwan heard Jiang Yu's words, she happily went to wash her hands and get the dishes. Since she couldn't cook, she could do something else.

Two dishes, stir-fried meat with green peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Su Muwan felt hungry just by smelling the aroma. She rarely ate rice or carbohydrates at night. But after tasting the dishes, Su Muwan ate two bowls of rice in a row.

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan, who looked very satisfied, and asked with a smile, "How is it? Is my cooking skill good enough?"

Su Muwan praised: "Well, not bad."

She now always feels that Jiang Yu’s cooking skills are much better than before.

At this time, Director Hu posted some travel guides and locations for tomorrow's trip in the group, which were considered as some recommendations for attractions in Hong Kong.

Jiang Yu took a quick look around. People in Hong Kong were mostly shopping and looking at old buildings and landmark structures.

"Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Su Muwan looked at the places Director Hu had mentioned, but she wasn't very interested. She had been to Hong Kong several times and had been there before. When she was with Jiang Yu, they had also visited many of these places before.

"Hmm... I feel like I've been there before. Do you want to go?"

"I look at you."

Seeing this, Su Muwan turned her head to look at the beach outside the glass window.

"Why don't we just play at the beach tomorrow? We don't want to be so tired."

"Okay, you just came back from abroad, so it's a good time to rest and relax. I think the weather will be nice tomorrow, so we can go to the beach to surf and swim."

Jiang Yu looked at Su Muwan with some anticipation. The beach was full of beauties in bikinis. Jiang Yu was looking forward to Su Muwan's figure.
