Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 24 The Villa on the Mountain (5)

Before long, a delicious aroma of food wafted through the room, and everyone came downstairs.

The hostess was already standing in the dining room, guiding them to their seats: "Please wait a moment, the soup will be served shortly."

Lingling politely asked her if she needed any help.

The hostess smiled and shook her head: "There's no reason to make guests do the work. The chefs and servants in the kitchen will take care of it."

The group then sat down and began to chat.

The expedition team was very interested in Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi.

"Let me introduce myself first, so everyone can get to know each other. My name is Liu Yuling, and I'm a member of the Xunyu Exploration Team. What about you?"

Lingling smiled and started the conversation.

Everyone then introduced themselves.

The boy who is always next to Liu Yuling is named Su Mu, and the two are in a relationship.

There is also a couple in the team named Zhang Yaoyao and Li Qingshan.

There were also two boys, Cheng Qi and Ma Jiahua, who were already friends and joined the expedition team together.

The female leader of the team is named Chen Yao, and she organized the expedition.

Since they were all young people, Shi Qi quickly started chatting and laughing with them.

Liu Yuling looked around, then suddenly raised her eyebrows and made a cute expression.

"Look, the pajamas the hostess gave us all have animal prints on them."

Gu Shijiu looked down at her chest, where a cartoon rabbit with long ears and red eyes was printed.

"Hey, this looks a lot like my cushion." She quite liked it.

Shi Qi's clothes have a monkey printed on them, and looking at the others, there are chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and pigs.

They're all in chibi style, and they are indeed quite cute.

While they were discussing clothes, the kitchen servant brought out a tray with several bowls of soup.

This maid was quite different from Aunt Wang; she had thick bags under her eyes, was extremely thin, and looked like a dried corpse.

"Master, this is soup that was just made in the kitchen."

The male servant's voice was also rough and hoarse, sounding like rough stones scraping against a wall.

The expedition members were startled.

"Guests, don't be afraid. Old Chen suffered a fire in his early years, which is why his voice is like this."

The hostess spoke in a cheerful tone, gesturing for everyone to drink the soup: "This tomato and beef soup is made with fresh beef. Please have a taste."

The aroma of beef soup was irresistible. Gu Shijiu's nose twitched: "Shiqi, this soup smells so good. It's like there's something in it that's beckoning me to drink it."

Shi Qi's alarm bells rang in her mind, and she pressed down on her hand: "Ajiu, think about your current status. If you find this soup very tempting, it may not be a good thing."

The soup did smell delicious, but Gu Shijiu is a zombie now, so how could she find human food tasty?

Just now, when they passed the sofa in the living room, Gu Shijiu didn't even glance at the fruit plate on the coffee table.

You should know that she usually loves to eat snacks.

Shi Qi took an orange from the fruit plate: "Ajiu, do you want some?"

"No, I want soup." Gu Shijiu shook her head.

Shi Qi's unease intensified: "Who knows what kind of meat is in this soup? It's better not to drink it."

"Huh, what kind of meat? Isn't it beef?" Gu Shijiu didn't understand.

"It might be human flesh." Shi Qi looked at the bright red color and felt a little nauseous.

"Ah—" Gu Shijiu put down her spoon. Although she still wanted to drink, she understood the principle that people should not eat human flesh.

Even though they are zombies now, eating human flesh is absolutely unacceptable.

Shi Qi peeled an orange and handed it to Gu Shijiu, but Gu Shijiu shook her head and refused, saying, "This is a bit disgusting, I don't want to eat it."

Hmm, something that zombies find disgusting—Shi Qi ate it without hesitation.

The others had already started slurping their soup.

Liu Yuling also warmly greeted Shi Qi: "This soup tastes really good, why don't you two drink some?"

The hostess also walked up behind Shi Qi enthusiastically: "Yes, isn't my soup delicious?"

The voice sounded somewhat melancholic.

"I only eat fruit at night to maintain my figure," Shi Qi explained with a smile. "I'm an actress."

The hostess accepted the explanation and turned to look at Gu Shijiu.

Gu Shijiu couldn't come up with a reason.

“She’s allergic to beef,” Shi Qi suggested.

"Oh, is that so? Then I apologize for not being a good hostess." The hostess regained her enthusiasm.

"It's alright, we brought our own food, you don't need to worry about her," Shi Qi said politely.

When the expedition members heard Shi Qi say that he was an actor, they were all very curious and surrounded him, asking him a barrage of questions.

Shi Qi patiently answered all the questions.

Su Mu scoffed again: "A name I've never even heard of. He's probably a fraud."

......

Apart from Gu Shijiu, everyone else at the meal could be considered to have had a pleasant time.

Shi Qi ate fruit and snacks to fill her stomach.

The other members of the expedition each drank at least two bowls of soup, their bellies round and full.

Gu Shijiu was the only one who looked at the soup with great frustration, unable to drink it.

As it grew later, everyone felt sleepy and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu also followed the main group.

Aunt Wang stood stiffly on the second floor, looking more like a zombie than Gu Shijiu.

Cheng Qi, who was the first to see her, exclaimed in surprise, "Aunt Wang, why is your body so stiff?"

Aunt Wang came to her senses and explained in a simple and honest voice, "I have ankylosing spondylitis, which tends to flare up at night. Taking some medicine helps."

Chen Yao frowned: "Is this how the disease is?"

The others didn't pay any attention and went back to their rooms.

Shi Qi escorted Gu Shijiu to her room: "Call me if you need anything tonight."

Gu Shijiu nodded habitually: "Okay, good night."

Zhang Yaoyao nudged her boyfriend's stomach with her elbow: "Look at him."

"No, what could possibly happen? I'm getting goosebumps." Li Qingshan crossed his arms and made an exaggerated expression.

Everyone was exhausted after a long day, so they all closed their doors to rest.

Shi Qi was the last to enter the room. He didn't close the door, but just left it slightly ajar.

Aunt Wang's voice came through the crack in the door: "Miss, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Shi Qi looked through the crack in the door but didn't see anyone else. However, she heard the girl's childish voice.

"Why are there always so many people coming to our house? It's so annoying! Can't we get rid of them all?"

Aunt Wang patiently comforted the girl: "The mountains are blocked by heavy snow outside, so the guests have no choice."

If you kick them out now, they'll die outside. Then you can go back to your room on the third floor and you won't hear anything."

When the word "death" was mentioned, Shi Qi felt the surrounding environment suddenly become colder.

However, he quickly returned to normal, as if that moment had just been his illusion.

The little girl cried as she walked upstairs: "It's so noisy! When will there be no one in the house?"

The crying wasn't loud; it sounded more like sobbing.

Aunt Wang watched the girl go upstairs, then turned to Shi Qi and apologized: "I'm sorry, guest, for disturbing your rest."

That's the young lady of the house; she hates noise the most.

Shi Qi said it was no problem: "Miss is so innocent and charming. Is there anyone else in the villa? I'm afraid I might accidentally disturb them."

"No, that's all." Aunt Wang shook her head.

Shi Qi then closed the door and went to sleep.
