Chapter 39: Omelet Rice
After Li Ji left, Tang Qiaoqiao and Shen Yue looked at each other, and the room fell silent again.
Tang Qiaoqiao looked at Shen Yue for a long time. He and Li Ji wiggled their eyebrows just now, and their words were full of loopholes as if they thought she couldn't tell.
Shen Yue became uncomfortable because of her staring, and his face was faintly hot. Who knew if it was because of her scorching gaze or because of the embarrassment of being seen through.
Shen Yue forbore it and said gruffly, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Tang Qiaoqiao stood up, walked around the room slowly, and said casually, "Since you have chosen this hotel, the company you are cooperating with is nearby."
Shen Yue frowned. "So what?"
"You also eat nearby at night, right?"
"Of course." Shen Yue bit his lip and bore it.
"Which restaurant did you eat at? Is it delicious? Tell me about it. I don't have time to go out to find food for the crew. I heard that there are many specialties here, and I really want to try." Tang Qiaoqiao looked as if she just casually asked.
"..." Shen Yue hadn't eaten around here at all. How could he know?
Shen Yue was a little bit embarrassed, and it turned into anger, "How could I remember that kind of thing? They arranged it, and I just need to show my face."
"Oh, that's it?" Tang Qiaoqiao refused to give up and continued to ask, "What kind of dishes did you eat? Tell me, what kind of dishes are delicious. I will also remember, and I will try them next time."
Shen Yue was silent. This woman was absolutely being deliberate.
Tang Qiaoqiao's eyes gleamed slyly. It was really interesting to see Shen Yue's aggrieved look.
Suddenly, Shen Yue changed the topic, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "You care so much about where I ate. What do you want to do? Isn't it because you want to check the place? Are you worried that I have some other woman outside?"
Tang Qiaoqiao was stunned.
"Madam," Shen Yue approached her, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "You can rest assured. I don't have any plans to raise flowers for the time being."
His voice usually sounded very clear and smooth, but at the moment, he lowered his voice, and it sounded inexplicably a bit magnetic. The way he whispered "madam" made Tang Qiaoqiao's heart jump. She leaned her head back, pulling some distance from him.
"You think too much. I never bothered to worry about it." Tang Qiaoqiao's face was slightly red. Her eyes rolled, but her tone was soft and unconvincing.
The corners of Shen Yue's mouth rose high.
Tang Qiaoqiao noticed that Shen Yue's bed sheets were not the uniform white bedsheets in the hotel, and she said, "You are really particular. You have to bring your own three-piece bedding set when you go out."
Shen Yue's fussy and hygiene standards would never fall.
Tang Qiaoqiao touched the bedsheet, and she had to say that the silk sheets brought out from home were more comfortable than those in the hotel.
"Master Shen, go to bed." Surprisingly, Tang Qiaoqiao didn't say anything else.
Shen Yue was stunned. "What's going on?"
"Come on to the bed. Let me see how your legs are." Tang Qiaoqiao patted the cold and soft sheets under her butt.
Shen Yue, who was happy for a few seconds, felt choked again.
Tang Qiaoqiao helped Shen Yue slowly lay halfway down on the bed. Tang Qiaoqiao lifted his trouser to check his legs carefully and then gently massaged them skillfully.
Shen Yue paused for a moment and asked, "What happened outside just now?"
Tang Qiaoqiao explained lightly, "I took down a stalker cameraman with a stick. We handed him over to the hotel security office. I will see the result of the police investigation tomorrow."
"I told you last time that when you would encounter this kind of thing again, remember to call someone. Don't bite the bullet and rush up. What if he was cruel and had a weapon. What would you do if he had a murder weapon in his hand?" Shen Yue felt angry when he thought about it. This woman thinks she had a bit of brute force so she could act impulsively without considering the consequences.
"At that time, there was no other way. By the time we called security, he would already have gone away." Tang Qiaoqiao said with a small voice.
"If people could run away when they want to run away, what is the hotel surveillance for?" Shen Yue blurted out, "Now there are cameras everywhere. Do you think he could run far? You don't use your brain."
"Yes, yes, I remember. I won't be reckless next time, Teacher Shen." Tang Qiaoqiao nodded hurriedly and looked like a good student.
Tang Qiaoqiao's answer was too perfunctory. It sounded kind of funny.
Was he worrying about her safety?
Shen Yue paused somewhat uneasily. He asked while seemingly trying to chat, "How was today's filming going?"
Tang Qiaoqiao said cheerfully, "Very smooth. Good director, good co-actors. I could eat whatever."
'Look. It's coming out. She is happy.'
Shen Yue tentatively asked, "Were there any fans who went to visit your filming today?"
Tang Qiaoqiao asked, "How did you know?" He said that he didn't come to see her, but he exposed himself.
"Those boring gossip media recommended it to my phone. I accidentally took a few glances." Shen Yue especially emphasized the word "accidentally."
He was just forced to see it. Don't think too much.
In order to protect President Shen's fragile young man's heart, Tang Qiaoqiao decided not to expose him and smiled. "It's rare for fans to visit. I made dumplings with them."
"Why didn't I see you make dumplings before?" Shen Yue said without noticing how bitter his tone was.
Tang Qiaoqiao was surprised. "If you want to eat it, when we go back, I will make it for you."
It's almost good enough.
When Tang Qiaoqiao talked about the fans, her brows rose up. "My sugar rabbits are really cute. They were waiting on the set and sent me back to the hotel at night."
Shen Yue frowned. "You should pay attention. Even to fans. Some of them are not necessarily kind, especially men."
"Don't worry," Tang Qiaoqiao didn't care. "The fans are very good, and the male fans are also very good. There was a male fan today. You wouldn’t believe it. He was the boss of the beverage company that asked me to shoot the advertisement last time."
'What?'
Shen Yue thought to himself that it must be the man who had been protecting Tang Qiaoqiao. The way he dressed was completely different from that of other little fans.
He then thought, is that man that "little whip"?
Fake attention for selfishness!
"Be careful of people's tactics. Have you never heard that courteous people are traitors? "Shen Yue's chest is a little stuffy.
"The heart of a villain," Tang Qiaoqiao massaged her hands a little bit while feeling dissatisfied, "Can't I have a big-time fan?"
"Naive!" Shen Yue didn't have good air, "A boss who was not working in the company, but deliberately invited you to shoot an advertisement, then mixed up with fans to visit your filming. At first glance, he has ulterior motives."
Tang Qiaoqiao raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yue. His brows frowned, and the expression on his face was like a child whose sugar was stolen.
"If you look like this, I would think that you are jealous."
"I'm jealous?"
Shen Yue sat up abruptly, breathing quickly, and the expression on his face changed and changed again.
Who would he be jealous of? Would he be jealous because of Tang Qiaoqiao?
She was dreaming!
Shen Yue dryly said, "Don't be delusional. I'm afraid that you have been sold, and you are still helping count money."
"I think anyone who dares to sell me has not yet been born." Tang Qiaoqiao just said it casually, but she didn't expect Shen Yue's reaction to be so big.
Shen Yue made an iceberg face again. "People who don't know the sky are going to suffer."
"I don't know if you will suffer, but I guess you must want to eat." Tang Qiaoqiao carefully rolled his trousers back.
Shen Yue turned his head away. "Didn't I say it? I have already eaten." However, as soon as he said that, there was a "gurgling" sound in the room.
Tang Qiaoqiao blinked and smiled, "But your stomach is protesting."
Shen Yue was embarrassed to death, wishing that there was a hole in the ground in which he could get in.
Tang Qiaoqiao reluctantly put away her smile. If she was smiling, Shen Yue was really going to turn his face.
"Let's go. Go to my room, and I'll cook for you."
It's strange. Every time she saw Shen Yue, she always cooked in the middle of the night.
Shen Yue was still stubborn. "Since you strongly insist, I will reluctantly appreciate it."
Tang Qiaoqiao looked at his red ears and held back her smile in pain.
Tang Qiaoqiao pushed Shen Yue to her room. It was already very late, so there was no need to worry about bumping into others in the corridor.
There was a small kitchen in her room. She opened the refrigerator and turned things over. There were not many ingredients, only some leftovers: a few eggs, a few mushrooms, half a corn, a potato, a carrot, and half a beef tenderloin.
There was only a little left, so let's make an Omelet Rice.
First, she diced mushrooms and carrots, chopped corn, and stir-fried them with diced beef. The best way to cook fried rice was using overnight rice. The rice that had just been steamed was too soft and tended to stick into a ball when it was fried.
After the rice was poured into the wok, it was quickly dispersed. Tang Qiaoqiao used her wrist and gently flipped the ladle. The white rice was mixed with red radish, yellow corn, brown mushrooms, and diced meat, jumping in mid-air and finally falling steadily into the wok. It was colorful and very beautiful.
With the constant flipping, the rice began to warm up, and a spoonful of viscous curry soup was added at this time. The curry soup was cooked using curry cubes, potatoes, and carrots. It was rich and spicy.
The dark brown curry sauce enveloped every grain of rice, and the unique aroma of curry filled the air.
The curry beef fried rice was placed on a white porcelain plate. Could it be eaten at this point?
No. The most important step was still to follow.
She beat the three eggs and spread a thin layer of oil on the bottom and rim of the frying pan. After the eggs were placed in the pan, Tang Qiaoqiao stirred them quickly with chopsticks. When the bottom of the egg was just scalded a little, she raised the handle to tilt the pan slightly and used a spatula to shovel a little bit to the side and let the eggs slowly pile up into an egg mountain.
At this time, keep shaking the pan gently so that the eggs will not stick to the pan. When the egg mountain was almost formed, Tang Qiaoqiao flipped the pan and turned the omelet over.
At this time, the omelet was golden in color and had a smooth surface. It would not fall apart when sliding around in the pan.
Then she carefully lowered the oval omelet on the fried rice shaped with a bowl and poured a spoonful of curry sauce on the other side of the rice to complete it.
While Tang Qiaoqiao was cooking, Shen Yue was also looking at her. There was not too much clutter in her room. Two large suitcases were leaning against the foot of the bed. There were some gift boxes piled up at the end of the bed, which should be a gift from fans today.
Shen Yue looked at the boxes and found a key ring full of keys, with a wood-cut "Tang Qiaoqiao" three calligraphic characters hanging on it.
The last time the fan group discussed what to send to Tang Qiaoqiao, the group owner said that she wanted a unique font for the poster. She asked the fans whose handwriting was good-looking.
Shen Yue started calligraphy in elementary school, so he wrote three characters and sent them to the group, which were immediately adopted.
It was given to Tang Qiaoqiao anyway. He didn't care how it was used.
Shen Yue rubbed the key pendant lightly. She picked this one out of so many gifts. It seemed that she should like the words.
This recognition made him feel a trace of joy in his heart.
"It's dinner time." Tang Qiaoqiao came over with a plate and put it on the small table next to the bed.
"Japanese-style omelet rice, please taste it." Tang Qiaoqiao lightly stroked the omelet with a knife in front of Shen Yue. The soft and smooth eggs inside instantly poured out to both sides, and the golden egg liquid gently wrapped the whole fried rice.
The golden omelet rice was like a hill, with curry sauce on the side. The two colors compliment each other, like a landscape painting—veritable color, fragrance, and flavor.
Shen Yue had to admit that Tang Qiaoqiao's meals could easily mobilize his taste buds every time.
He scooped a spoonful of steaming fried rice along the edge of the egg mixture. The top was the trembling omelet, and the bottom was the curry beef fried rice. The egg melted in the mouth and had a mellow flavor. The rice was round and had a curry taste. The bit of spice, coupled with the various flavors of beef, carrots, and shiitake mushrooms collided in his mouth—instantly soothing his stomach that had been empty for the whole day.
Such simple omelet rice, but happiness is so simple.
Tang Qiaoqiao had been away for half a month, but this plate of omelet rice had filled Shen Yue's long-empty stomach and heart.
Shen Yue cleaned the omelet rice without a single grain left, and Tang Qiaoqiao watched him while supporting her chin. Sometimes it was a joy to feed others.
After Shen Yue finished eating, he naturally couldn't stay in Tang Qiaoqiao's room. Before he left, he said that the company's project would take a few days. He would continue to live in this hotel, and he could also visit her set on the way.
Shen Yue emphasized the "on the way."
Tang Qiaoqiao: ...
The next day, the whole crew knew that Tang Qiaoqiao was harassed last night. After a night of police interrogation, the investigation was clear.
The stalker was originally a staff member in the film crew. He was caught before because he always took sneak pictures of actresses, but, because he had a good relationship with the little head of the camera crew, he was just warned once, and he stayed in the crew to do some chores of moving equipment.
But this allowed him to wander around the set with the identity of a staff member. No one was watching him.
He aimed at Tang Qiaoqiao this time and secretly photographed her for more than a week. A perverted mind was always incomprehensible. He took the photos not only for his own appreciation, but also had to show them to the person involved. He also hid in the dark to observe Tang Qiaoqiao's reaction, especially to see her being scared and pale.
However, he thought that his target was alone and he was not afraid of being captured by surveillance, but he didn't expect Tang Qiaoqiao to be a ruthless person. He had to go in for a chat with the police, not to mention he also got a concussion because of Tang Qiaoqiao.
Everyone on the crew has lingering fears. Such a scourge was hidden within their jobs. It was said that the police found several photos of female celebrities in the stalker's home, and there was no lack of private photos.
Originally, it was difficult for female celebrities to survive in the circle because of their gender, but now they had to beware of the staff around them, which was terrible.
The police did not release the video of the stairwell, but fans who saw the news had been making a lot of noise. They called on the crew to strengthen the management of the staff on Weibo so that no messy people would be recruited into the crew.
"I'm scared to death, Qiaoqiao," Chen Qing exaggerated while holding Tang Qiaoqiao's arm, "I have such a beautiful face. He will definitely come to me after he has secretly photographed you, and I will lose my innocence."
Tang Qiaoqiao: '... When saying something like that, can you not look so regretful?'
"Qiaoqiao, do you have any plans to do a side job?" Chen Qing asked.
Tang Qiaoqiao was vigilant. This queen often had strange problems.
"What do you want to say?"
Chen Qing: "I really want to ask you to be my bodyguard."
Tang Qiaoqiao: "???"
"You are so good at cooking, and everything is so delicious. With you by my side, I won't be afraid."
"Your focus is on the cooking." Tang Qiaoqiao tore through her mask mercilessly.
Chen Qing twitched before saying, "Qiaoqiao knows me the best."
"Tang Qiaoqiao, don't chat, get ready and start shooting." the director shouted.
"Here." Tang Qiaoqiao ran over to prepare.
This scene was a very important scene for Zhao Xiaoxiang, and it was also a turning point in her life.
She was the least valued of the three daughters of the Zhao family. She had always wanted to get her parents' approval, but many things went against her wish, for example, in this scene, where she almost ruined the whole family because of an oversight.
The plot is that when Zhao Xiaoxiang was guarding the house alone, she lit a fire in the hall. She temporarily went out of the room but did not extinguish the fire, causing the flame to ignite a cloth nearby. When she came back, thick smoke was already coming out of the house.
Zhao Xiaoxiang was extremely frightened. If the fire destroyed this home, she would feel even more embarrassed in front of her parents.
So she rushed into the burned house over and over again, trying to save as many things as possible. But in the end, it was all in vain. Later, Zhao Xiaoxiang left home because of this incident.
So Tang Qiaoqiao was about to shoot the scene when Zhao Xiaoxiang rushed into the fire. The plan was to light some cigarettes and then use the post-production special effects to make the flames. But after a few shots, the thrilling effects were never produced. The director was very dissatisfied.
Tang Qiaoqiao walked around the director and said without hesitation, "Director, just light a real fire."
The director was very emotional. Many actors wanted to avoid this kind of dangerous scene, especially young actors. When their skin was scratched until it was a bit tender, it must be posted on Weibo and sold badly. If there was a bit of an accident, the hot search would make it difficult for him to say anything.
Now Tang Qiaoqiao proposed the fire by herself. After discussing it with the other team members, he decided to start a real fire.
The crew lit a few fires in the house, but they ensured that it would not cause a large fire.
Tang Qiaoqiao was still wearing a big padded jacket, but she poured a handful of water on her body before going into the burning house. Other than that, there was no other protection.
She rushed in, again and again, to try to rescue more things in the house. Some villagers also hurried to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong, and the water was almost useless.
After going in and out, again and again, Tang Qiaoqiao was already unkempt and sweaty.
What was even more uncomfortable was the billowing smoke. The staff outside the house were choked by smoke to their throats, but Tang Qiaoqiao didn't stop from start to finish.
As long as the director didn’t call to stop, she continued to persist.
At this time, some fans outside the set looked distressed from a distance.
Shen Yue also watched Tang Qiaoqiao going back and forth in the fire scene not far away. On such a hot day, the thick smoke and the faint fire made him feel hot all over, even though he was far away.
Li Ji couldn't bear it and said, "Why should my sister-in-law suffer this pain?" Is it that bad to be a wealthy wife? After all, she was married into the Shen family.
Shen Yue's face was expressionless, but his heart was very moved.
"This is what she likes."
