"A bag of snacks counts as one item," the director answered.
Qin Yun was dazed for two seconds, her eyes widened as she angrily said, "Aren't they all snacks? Why are you discriminating?"
"Yeah, you didn't say we could only bring one bag of snacks," Yang Leqi also stared at the director, speaking up in support. After all, Qin Yun had just promised her a bag, and if they couldn't bring it, she wouldn't have anything to eat either.
For the sake of this snack-fueled friendship, she had to stand her ground.
Feeling the pressure from the scowls of the two beauties, the director tried to defuse the situation, "It's not discrimination, it's just how the rule is set. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the other guests."
Qin Yun and Yang Leqi immediately turned their gaze toward the three male guests present.
"Uh..."
The three who were originally watching the drama unfolded suddenly found themselves frozen in place, meeting two eager gazes.
"We don't mind," Wang Sirui quickly adapted, immediately declaring allegiance.
"Yeah, if the sisters want to bring more food, maybe we can even benefit from it," Qin Hao chimed in.
"I don't mind either," added Chen Yao hastily.
"Director, they said they don't mind, so can we keep these snacks?" Qin Yun looked at the director again, asking earnestly.
The production team: "..."
They didn't expect the male guests to yield so quickly, but remained firm in their refusal, "No, rules are rules."
Qin Yun: "..."
Ah—
These people are really annoying!
So annoying, I want to devour them whole!
The little person in Qin Yun's mind shook her head: No, you can't. They're people; if you eat them, you won't be able to digest!
"Your Highness, I must remind you that eating people is illegal in this world. It's an offense that can lead to imprisonment. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life in jail, deprived of good food, please abandon such thoughts," Little A's mechanical voice blandly reminded her.
"Then if I eat all of this now, it wouldn't be against the rules, right?" She asked, her expression serious, devoid of any humor even in her peach blossom eyes.
"Uh, sure," the director was taken aback for a moment, but nodded.
This might be the first female celebrity to choose to eat everything on the spot because she couldn't bring snacks.
After all, female celebrities are usually quite disciplined about maintaining their figure, and consuming so many snacks would mean a lot of calories.
Besides, with Qin Yun's petite figure, she couldn't possibly handle so many snacks.
The director just let it pass.
But unexpectedly, this decision opened the floodgates for Qin Yun from that point onward.
She truly started eating from beginning to end.
As the director began checking the other guests, Qin Yun stood to the side, ripping open a bag of chips and munching away.
She found time to ask Yang Leqi, "Do you want some?"
Yang Leqi glanced at her manager on the sidelines, whose expression was not favorable, and quickly waved her hands, "No, my manager is glaring at me."
"Oh," Qin Yun nodded and continued munching.
Once the items were confirmed, they started heading to their accommodation.
The group dragged the remaining luggage to their lodging place, and Qin Yun had already switched to her second bag of snacks. Under her manager's stern glances, Yang Leqi dared not eat publicly, so she sneaked bites only when the manager wasn't looking.
On the way, Qin Yun heard her manager shouting, "Qin Yun! Stop eating!"
By this time, Yang Leqi had changed her tone of address, a bit confused as she asked, "Sister Yun, your manager seems to be calling you."
"Really? I didn't hear anything," Qin Yun calmly popped another coconut crisp into her mouth, the rich milky aroma filling her taste buds, crispy and sweet.
Hmm, I should buy more when we get back.
"Maybe I heard wrong," Yang Leqi nodded, without giving it much thought.
Meanwhile, Pei Yan, having no phone charger, had his phone off. As soon as he borrowed one and charged it, he received a notification of a 480-yuan transaction.
Pei Yan: "..."
He pursed his lips, eyes calm as he deleted the message, choosing to ignore it as if he hadn't received it at all.
He even had the transaction notifications canceled.
Pretending like nothing happened.
In the distance, they saw a small wooden cabin. Just from the outside, it looked quite nice, reminiscent of a vacation cabin.
Instantly, even the slightly unpleasant mood improved quite a bit.
Just as they were passing by a tree, a chicken flew down from it, narrowly missing Yang Leqi's head.
"Cluck cluck cluck~"
"Ah—"
Caught off guard, Yang Leqi bent over and screamed.
Immediately, scattered clucking sounds came from an area enclosed nearby.
Chen Yao took a few steps forward, shielding Yang Leqi while carefully observing the "thing" that had just flown by.
"What is that?" Yang Leqi's voice was still sharp, tinged with a hint of crying, her whole body rigid, not daring to move.
"Just a few chickens, nothing to be afraid of, they don't bite," Chen Yao looked around, then assured her after confirming.
"Chickens? I wonder if the production team can buy them for roast chicken. They say chickens that aren't fed with fodder are delicious when roasted," Wang Sirui leaned over the chicken pen, looking inside excitedly.
Qin Yun, hearing this, also glanced over at the chickens walking around in the enclosure. In her eyes, they turned into roast chickens, making her swallow involuntarily.
She immediately turned to the production team and asked, "Can we eat these chickens?"
"Complete the task for a chance."
"I'll complete it well," Qin Yun became instantly spirited upon hearing the response.
Yang Leqi, hearing they were just chickens, wasn't as scared anymore, though her eyes still glistened with tears from emotion. She sniffed and walked over to Qin Yun's side, "Sister Yun, I want to walk next to you."
"No worries, don't be scared. If it dares peck you, I'll eat it for you!" she nonchalantly licked her lips, declaring dominantly.
"Uh... okay."
Yang Leqi was visibly surprised by Qin Yun's response, taking a couple of seconds before nodding woodenly.
The other three burst into laughter hearing Qin Yun's words.
"Are you serious? There are so many chickens here, could you really eat them all?" Wang Sirui asked, chuckling.
"I can," she replied seriously, gazing over the large fenced area and nodding affirmatively, around a hundred chickens inside.
Everyone: "..."
Eating all these chickens would probably take a year, right?
Everyone assumed Qin Yun was just joking along with them.
Only Qin Yun pondered for a moment; eating all of them might get a bit monotonous.
Hmm... I could eat some Flat Peach to cleanse the palate then.
