I eat leftovers, which does not violate the show's rules!
Zuo Xinen asked all the viewers in the livestream, "What are we going to do for the next few days? Are we really going to live on air and northwest wind?"
Bai Lu replied, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Let's check in at the next attraction first. I refuse to believe the production crew would actually let Teacher Lu starve."
After a brief pause, she looked at her father, her tone full of encouragement: "Teacher Lu, if you're hungry, just say so. Don't hold back. As long as you say you're hungry, the production crew will definitely provide us with free food."
Lu Yiting hesitated for a moment. "Would that be appropriate?"
Bai Lu stated firmly, "There's nothing inappropriate about it." She even proactively provided her father with a graceful way out, maintaining his flawless image: "Teacher Lu, you shouldn't have any psychological burden. Doing this ensures we don't go hungry. Xiao Ye is still growing, after all—he certainly can't go hungry!"
Only then did Lu Yiting nod slightly. "Alright."
Bai Lu even turned to the camera and made a keyboard-typing gesture: "If the production crew lets Teacher Lu starve... family members, you know what to do."
The production crew was stunned by her brazen, highwayman-like behavior.
The audience and netizens laughed hysterically.
This was outright extortion.
It was bad enough that Bai Lu was committing open extortion, but she was even calling on them to be keyboard warriors and internet trolls!
Acting under imperial decree with royal authorization—time to let the trolling begin.
Submitting to such overwhelming tyranny, the production crew actually provided them with a free dinner.
Lin Ye clutched a bag of bread and a bottle of yogurt, tears instantly welling up in his eyes: "We're back to the days of merely filling our stomachs so we don't starve..."
Bai Lu cast her gaze around, taking in the magnificent, luxurious presidential suite, then looked at the bread and yogurt in her hands. She felt so irritated she wanted to pinch Lin Ye again.
Before she could make a move, Lin Ye hid behind Lu Yiting and said softly, "Teacher Lu, you have to protect me."
Lu Yiting smiled gently and handed both his bread and yogurt to Lin Ye. "You're still growing. Eat more."
Bai Lu gnashed her teeth. "Just you dare accept that."
Lin Ye: "............"
He didn't accept it, but Lin Ye's stomach chimed in right on cue.
Liu Jiajia broke half of her own bread and gave it to Lin Ye. "Xiao Ye, here. I usually don't eat much for dinner."
Shen Xinlu also broke off half of her bread. "I'm on a diet."
[??? Why is the atmosphere so desolate?]
[I swear, I'm laughing my head off!!]
[Isn't Xiao Lu being a bit too harsh on Xiao Ye?]
[It's just for the show's effect. Didn't you notice that whenever Xiao Lu targets Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye's screen time shoots right up?]
[I don't think it's like that at all. Xiao Lu simply finds Xiao Ye annoying because he eats too much.]
[Old Lu really cares so much about these juniors.]
[Ahhhhh my heart breaks for them! I want to go buy them all the good food! Buy them whatever they want!]
Bai Lu knew very well that her father didn't care about Lin Ye at all; her father was simply accustomed to being pampered, and if there was food he disliked, he wouldn't touch a single bite even if it meant starving to death.
She couldn't let her dad go hungry!
Her dad's stomach—she would protect it!
Bai Lu's black-and-white eyes rolled as a brilliant idea struck her. "Uncle Director!"
The production crew looked at her warily. "............"
Bai Lu: "The fans are treating—"
The Director: "No! Those are the rules. Even Teacher Lu cannot be given an exception. Allowing fans to treat us is simply not allowed."
Bai Lu double-checked, "Fans treating isn't allowed?"
The Director answered with absolute finality, "Not allowed!"
Bai Lu smiled with a sly glint in her eyes. "Then as long as it's not the fans treating us, that's fine, right?"
The Director: "...I suppose so?"
Bai Lu: "Is it? Or is it not?"
The Director: "It is."
Bai Lu nodded and waved her hand. "Let's go, time to eat out."
The Production Crew: "????"
Everyone else: "?????"
Led by Bai Lu, the group arrived at the snack street near the hotel.
As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, a group of Lu Yiting's fans followed behind them. However, the fans were very restrained; they didn't come forward and simply followed quietly.
Except for Lu Yiting, everyone else curiously asked her what on earth she was planning to do, but Bai Lu ignored them all.
Pointing at a rolled ice cream cart, she asked, "Teacher Lu, would you like some?"
Lu Yiting smiled and shook his head. "No thank you."
She pointed at the tip of her own nose. "But I want some. Mango flavor."
Lu Yiting: "?"
Bai Lu: "Teacher Lu, say you want mango-flavored rolled ice cream."
Lu Yiting: "I want mango-flavored rolled ice cream."
Bai Lu immediately raised her voice and shouted, "Lu Yiting says he wants mango-flavored rolled ice cream! Does anyone have any leftovers? Hurry up and bring them over!"
Lu Yiting: "???"
Fans: "????"
She repeated it in English as well, but unfortunately, not a single fan caught onto her clever little scheme.
Sigh, today's batch of fans just doesn't think fast enough.
Looking at the crowd of fans behind her, Bai Lu practically gave them a direct hint: "Picking up leftovers that other people discarded doesn't violate the production crew's rules! Family members, do you understand?"
She said it once in Chinese, then repeated it in English.
Holy shit????
There was actually such a loophole???
What kind of galaxy-brain move was this?!
She had initially thought Bai Lu would at most use her celebrity influence to trade food for autographs or pull some minor stunt, but she went even further...
Little Bai Lu really is a mischievous little genius!!!
Viewers in the livestream: I'm convinced. I might not admire a wall, but I will definitely admire Little Bai Lu!!
The first to react was a domestic fan. She bought a mango-flavored rolled ice cream and said with exaggerated awkwardness, "Oops, I bought the wrong flavor! I don't want mango anymore, so I guess I'll just throw it away!"
With that, she placed it right at Bai Lu's feet and scurried off.
Bai Lu immediately picked it up, happily took a bite with her spoon, and blinked at the production crew. "This wasn't a fan treating me, oh! Someone else didn't want it and threw it away, so I picked it up! Eating leftover food certainly doesn't break the rules, right?"
The Production Crew: "............"
Lu Yiting raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Xiao Lu, you really something else."
Bai Lu cupped her fists in a salute. "You're too kind, Teacher Lu!" She winked at the rest of the group. "What are you all waiting for? Go pick up some leftovers!"
Lin Ye immediately rushed to the entrance of a shop and yelled at the top of his lungs, "I want grilled scallops!!"
A fan immediately bought some and brought it over. "It tastes awful, what a waste to throw it away. Do you want it or not? Here, it's yours."
Lin Ye nodded, and the fan immediately shoved it into his arms while whispering, "Baby, just tell mommy whatever you want to eat!"
Ah, so she was a mom-fan.
The others followed suit, running up to the shops of their choice and loudly declaring what they wanted to eat. The fans trailing behind them immediately bought the items and then discarded them.
The overseas fans mostly followed behind Lu Yiting, as they didn't recognize anyone else in the group.
That didn't matter, though. Every year, over a hundred million tourists from China traveled to Bangkok. The number of domestic tourists was massive.
Tourists followed the guests they had picked according to their own preferences.
The snack street was crowded, and before long, everyone had scattered.
Bai Lu drank her beverage and asked her dad, "Teacher Lu, are you full?"
Lu Yiting's eyes were gentle. "I'm full."
Bai Lu: "What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?"
Lu Yiting thought for a moment and said, "Let's have some congee. My stomach hasn't been feeling very well lately."
Bai Lu looked directly into the camera: "Family members, Teacher Lu wants congee for breakfast tomorrow, preferably something easy on the stomach. We'll be heading out around eight o'clock in the morning!"
The Cameraman / VJ: "............"
Damn it.
Spelled shameless, pronounced Bai Lu.
