Shortly thereafter, another voice chimed in from the screen, "AnAn indeed made these. This layout is way too professional! It's so pretty I could die!" "The buns that AnAn made this morning has already conquered me. Now these just make me want to marry her more!"

"Wait, these were reserved by the customers earlier, you guys can't have any of it! The customers will be here soon! Plus, the camera is still running!" "See but don't touch, that's me right now. No, I need to go and calm down." "Don't worry lah. Lunch for the show's guests are over there by the bar. AnAn is still working on them, but should be done soon."

"Alright, I'll wait for a bit longer then... mmmmm, so hungry!" This was when the woman sitting next to Huo YanXiao opened up the chat window. The screen was immediately covered by a wall of text. "I want to see a front shot of Miss AnAn!"

"Miss AnAn is like a Chinese Martha Stewart! Woowoo, wait for me! I am on my way to buy my plane ticket over!" "Oooh, that's very sneaky. How come we didn't think about making our dreams come true too? I am on my way to purchase my plane ticket as well!" "Well, how do you know if Miss AnAn is at Yue Lai or Yun Lai?" "Psst, all you have to do is to ask any random guest which inn has better food and that will be the one. Duh!"

The screen kept scrolling, making Huo YanXiao dizzy from looking at it. Finally, Qin ZiYi appeared on the screen. She waved at the screen and said, "So you want to know what Miss AnAn looks like? I can help you with that!" Having said that, she walked over to the kitchen with a small mirror. The camera for the kitchen pointed inside the kitchen from the direction of the door, so most of the time one could only see the back of Nie AnAn.

The audience could see a petite little girl standing in front of the work station. Her fingers were white and slender. They look soft but somehow she was able to slice the potato into thin and even strings. Like a magician, a lot of the stuff coming from her hands were arranged in order of their size, from large to small, like kindergarten kids forming a line in order of their height.

Qin ZiYi stood behind Nie AnAn and smiled at the camera, "Ready? Here comes the big moment!" Having said that, Qin ZiYi quickly leaped over to where Nie AnAn was and brought up the mirror. Immediately, Nie AnAn's face appeared in the mirror.

"Now boarding passengers of Flight No. HG988. Now boarding passenger of Flight No. HG988..." An announcement came over the PA system, and the woman sitting next to Huo YanXiao turned her phone off immediately and quickly walked away with her suitcase.

Huo YanXiao looked away. His brow was furrowed He saw it clearly in just that one second. Sure enough, that was Nie AnAn in the mirror. How did she join the crew of "Gold Medal Inn"? What was she plotting? And yet, by this point, he was 100% sure about one thing; it was the same body, but she was not her.

Huo YanXiao and his admin got up and got ready to board their own flight. Huo YanXiao had been busy lately; he had only been back to Capital City for a few hours yesterday and he was flying to Country H for a layover then onto Country R. But this trip wasn't too bad; he would only stay in Country R for one day to sign the contract and attend the opening ceremony. Then, he would be able to return to Capital City after that.

After he had boarded, Huo YanXiao looked at the filming schedule of "Gold Medal Inn". Today was the first day and Nie AnAn would be there for almost a week. This meant that she'd still be over there when he returned. He finally picked up his phone, located Nie AnAn's cellphone number, and called her. "We are sorry. The number you are trying to reach was set to off mode..." Huo YanXiao, "..."

By now, the wall of text in the streaming channel was exploding. "OMG! OMG! I just saw Miss AnAn's unmatched beauty! But that was too short! I was only able to catch a glimpse!" "Keke, I took a screenshot. Follow me! I am going to get a bunch of fans on behalf of little big sister!" "I saw her too! Little big sister looks like a cute little lamb, the kind with long hair. She just looks so soft!" "OMG! OMG! I think I am going to be switching to the other team..."

Naturally, Nie AnAn, who was still filming at the scene had, no idea that all these were coming down. She had conquered the stomachs of every single cast and crew member this morning. And now, she was going to burn up the viewership for their inn. There were a lot of ruckus out in the lobby. It sounded like a lot of customers had arrived, but she continued to stay there quietly making lunch for the guests of the show.

Qin ZiYi wanted to help but had no idea where to even start. She looked around, saw a plate of ribs that was done, and drooled over it.

When Nie AnAn turned around, she quickly blocked the camera and popped a piece into her mouth. Immediately, the incredible tasting ribs caused her to let out noises of satisfaction. By now, she had stopped caring whether she was caught on camera stealing food. She quickly finished it, spit out the bones, and went for a second piece, only to be stopped by Nie AnAn when she placed her hand on hers and said, "Miss Qin, there will be enough for everyone, no rush."

Embarrassed, Qin ZiYi retrieved her hand. As though she had thought of something, she whispered into Nie AnAn's ear, "AnAn, there's something I want to talk to you about." Nie AnAn nodded. Qin Ziyi whispered, "Can you help me pursue Huo YanXiao? Isn't he like your brother? Your cooking is so amazing and I'll be able to eat this everyday if I can marry him!"

Nie AnAn asked dubiously, "I thought Nie ChengFeng is the one that you are fond of. Besides, is it me that you want to marry or my brother?" Qin ZiYi licked her fingers cleaned and said, "Now I want to Huo YanXiao. Plus I will allow you to live in my house. I don't mind living with my sister-in-law." Nie AnAn, "..."

The secret guests didn't show up till the last two days. When Qin ZiMing and Nie ChengFeng exited the car and saw the crowd outside of Yun Lai Inn, they were both stunned. The other team, Yue Lai Inn, that was just 10 feet away had barely anyone inside of it. In fact, there were guests that tried to sneak over from Yue Lai for food that were caught red-handed.

"What is going on? What's with this big difference between the two inns?" asked Qin ZiMing, baffled. Apparently, Nie ChengFeng, standing next to him, had no idea either, "Let's go and find out." They were both very busy people. One of them came for his girlfriend and the other one came for advertising his family's tourist area. Neither one of them paid any attention to the wall of text in the streaming channel before their arrival.

There were crowds both inside and outside of Yun Lai. The two tried but failed to get inside, so they headed toward Yue Lai instead. Inside the lobby, the guests from the show were snacking on sunflower seeds out of boredom and only stood up to greet them when they walked in.

The cameraman straightened up and hoped that the appearance of the two secret guests would boost their viewership. Unfortunately, the crowd who'd normally be attracted by handsome men acted as though they had handsome men filters today. They acted like the two men weren't there at all and continued to try to sneak over to the other inn.

"What is going on?" Nie ChengFeng was assigned to Yun Lai's side. He asked the deputy director, "Director Cheng, I couldn't even get inside to register." "Don't worry. You are a guest of Yun Lai, we will get you in," said Director Cheng as he gave him a secretive smile and took him toward the backdoor of Yun Lai. "You will find out soon enough."

Normally speaking, Director Cheng and the crew members were supposed to visit the two inns equally. But ever since they've had the breakfast made by Nie AnAn, they had never returned to Yue Lai for other meals. He trusted that these two special guests would be singing Nie AnAn's praises soon enough. The only unknown left would be whether Qin ZiMing would have a change of heart after that.
