Chapter 35: The Benefits of Anonymity
Chapter 35
As for the content of the interviews, the program team did not reveal it.
Song Jixing tidied up simply and went downstairs to eat directly.
Today was the first day when everyone landed on the island. The program team prepared a buffet dinner specially to help everyone adapt to the new environment.
On the two long wide tables, there were more than a dozen exquisite dishes and all kinds of fruits and desserts.
Across from the dining tables was a whole wall of transparent glass doors with an unobstructed view of the garden and forest scenery.
Song Jixing\'s attention was all on the food as she was hungry.
One third of the dishes on the two rows were seafood and some specialty fruits of Y City. Song Jixing took a look and found them quite familiar. She had eaten a lot of these things in the university canteen.
Whether it was because the restaurant had not been renovated yet or it was a special arrangement by the program, there was only one large round table and eight chairs in the spacious panoramic restaurant of hundreds of square meters, and other places were completely empty.
The table was undoubtedly spacious enough, with no problem for one person to place five or six plates.
Song Jixing started taking food unreservedly.
While Song Jixing was taking food, the other guests came over one after another. After a brief greeting, they also started their own battles.
No matter if they were actors or artists, they had very demanding requirements on their figures.
With tongs to take food in their hands and white plates in their hands, everyone lightly picked some dishes they wanted to eat.
With the managers not around, it seemed that they could indulge a little.
Sang Xueqing daringly took two more pieces of spicy chicken, with the corners of her mouth secretly rising.
As soon as she came over, her attention was all on the spicy chicken. She grew up in Sichuan and Chongqing since she was little, and had been able to eat spicy food since young.
Ever since she was scouted on the road and started her career, she began figure management. After starting filming, she ate and drank less. Whenever she took an extra mouthful of rice, the manager would remind her not to eat more and risk getting fat which would affect her on-camera appearance.
As for spicy chicken, a high-calorie stimulating food, the manager would never let her touch it even more.
Sang Xueqing who had craved it for a long time naturally could not restrain herself. She secretly took quite a few pieces of spicy chicken before she was satisfied. Only then did she move to other places, picking up green lettuce leaves containing lots of vitamin C, fruits, and a small piece of beef. Protein could not be lacking.
When she turned around, she saw Song Jixing with a plate of fruits in her left hand and all kinds of vegetables and meat dishes in her right hand.
Sang Xueqing looked at Song Jixing and revealed a friendly smile.
Song Jixing smiled back.
Until Sang Xueqing turned around and saw four plates placed in front of a seat.
Plus the two Song Jixing was holding, six!
A whole six plates!
Sang Xueqing could not help but blurt out, "Can you finish them?"
Song Jixing nodded, "I can finish them!"
In fact, these were still not enough.
Mainly because she did not have much spiritual energy income recently, so her appetite cultivated by spiritual energy had grown bigger. Secondly, she did not eat her fill at noon.
Hearing their conversation, the other guests also looked over.
"Don\'t worry, if you can\'t finish, you can give them to me!" Hu Hui said cheerfully, he had a big appetite!
With so many dishes, the men at the table also took three or four plates before returning to their seats.
At this time, Song Jixing had already finished a plate of fried rice and was focusing on the second plate of food.
Sitting next to Song Jixing, Song Xiang glanced at the plate without a single grain of rice left, and his gaze stayed on it for several seconds before moving to his own plate.
With everyone sitting around the round table, raising their heads and lowering their heads, they could see each other\'s actions just by picking up water or a bite of food with their chopsticks.
Under everyone\'s intentional or unintentional attention, Song Jixing ate her fourth plate.
This time, Hu Hui really could not hold back. After chewing the food in his mouth, he said, "Teacher Song, don\'t you actresses need to control your figures?"
The amount she ate in these four plates was more than some girls would eat in two days.
Hearing Hu Hui\'s words, the others also looked up at Song Jixing.
While eating, Song Jixing was very quiet and behaved very gracefully.
She was like a ruthless eating machine, plate after plate going into her mouth.
Song Jixing looked up when she heard this and said, "I do need to control my figure! I usually have a lot of exercise, so I can eat more."
Song Jixing explained.
Sang Xueqing immediately put down her cup to back Song Jixing up when she heard this. "That\'s right. Teacher Song is amazing! Have you guys seen the hot search on Weibo some time ago? The person who broke the world marathon record in Y City is Teacher Song!"
Sang Xueqing\'s tone was extremely excited, and her eyes were even shining!
Seeing the expected expressions on the faces of the guests at the table, Sang Xueqing\'s eyes shone even more brightly.
"The world marathon record? That\'s so awesome!"
"Oh my god! I really couldn\'t tell!"
"Teacher Song, I didn\'t know you were so capable! You even broke the world sports record, no wonder you have such great strength!"
The words of praise were endless, and Qiu Ye also asked, "Do you train often usually? Is this your intake after training or before training?"
"I train when I\'m home. My appetite has probably...grown recently." Song Jixing replied politely.
The atmosphere at the dinner table became much more enthusiastic.
Knowing that Song Jixing had strong athletic ability, everyone no longer looked at her eating the food in front of her with astonishment. Instead, they cared whether she had enough and offered to help her get some more.
Song Jixing only politely declined.
Only Zhu Chongguang sat rigidly in his chair without chiming in, silently eating his own food while occasionally glancing at the people at the table.
At noon, the program team had delivered meals and he ate three portions himself, leaving only one portion for Teacher Song, and pretended to be very generous.
--"Teacher Song, I have a big appetite, please don\'t mind!"
How embarrassing!
The cameras and videographers placed in the corners of the restaurant recorded the reactions of each guest in their entirety.
Seeing Zhu Chongguang\'s abnormal silence, the program team members in the monitoring room could not help chatting about it.
"Is Zhu Chongguang thinking about how he ate most of the food himself at noon and left little for Song Jixing with her small appetite?"
"...It\'s possible! This footage is good, we can cut it out as material."
-
Perhaps with Sang Xueqing\'s explanation, Song Jixing\'s dinner was less constrained. She simply let go of her belly to eat her fill.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, Song Jixing returned to her room.
While meditating, she waited for the program team\'s interview.
There were cameras in every room arranged by the program team, and even in the corridors.
Seeing Song Jixing\'s actions through the monitor, the staff in the monitoring room did not pay much attention.
It was not uncommon for celebrities to like meditation in private. Their diverse range of hobbies were too many.
But after seeing Song Jixing sit motionless in meditation for several hours, the staff watching the monitor could not help but start to wonder.
It was said that Song Jixing\'s marathon running could break world records.
Could meditation have some unknown benefits for running that they didn\'t know about?
