Yuanyuan also realized that if she outright said she didn’t like sparkling water and wasn’t willing to endorse, she might get kicked out, since it was someone else’s turf. So she found a seemingly more tactful reason that was also a bit prideful.

Upon hearing Yuanyuan’s ambitious words, the Chef’s expression indeed got a bit better.

Chef’s inner thoughts: Seems like she’s not Zaizai’s anti-fan.

The Chef nodded: "Then I wish you good luck. You can keep the invitation; you can change your choice any time before the banquet starts." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The Chef turned to leave, and the waiter smiled at Yuanyuan, then announced the content of the third round of the competition: "Everyone, the next round will be divided into pairs. You can find your own partner, and if you don’t find one within half an hour, the shop will pair you up randomly."

Little Taotie and Yuanyuan were definitely going to team up, but before they could say anything, someone at the table stood up and shouted, "I want to team up with this brother!"

The one who spoke was a man from a neighboring table, and the person he favored was the short White Person.

He looked eagerly at the short White Person, only to be ruthlessly rejected: "No, I want to team up with her."

The short White Person was referring to Little Taotie.

Little Taotie blinked, surprised to be chosen, and bit her lip a bit shyly. Actually, she quite liked this pretty decent Hungry Ghost.

But, this time’s target was him, so they would definitely be on opposing sides.

Knowing Little Taotie’s dilemma, Yuanyuan stood in front of Little Taotie, protectively: "He’s my dear brother, of course, he’s with me! You better give up!"

The onlookers outside the shop were stunned!

"Are they really siblings?"

"The way they competed in drinking sparkling water just now didn’t look like it at all!"

"Is this what they call sibling rivalry?"

"It’s hilarious. Just now, the siblings were at each other’s throats, the brother was so annoyed with the sister, hoping she’d lose, but now someone comes to snatch the brother, and she steps up to protect him!"

"This scene is too entertaining. I even want to make them characters in the next issue of my comic!"

"Oh, I didn’t know you’re a comic artist?"

"I’ll scare you by saying this: I’m a bestselling comic artist!"

"I’ll wait to see this sibling rivalry depicted in your next bestselling comic; if not, you’re just bragging!"

"It will be there, don’t worry, I never brag!"

"Sibling rivalry is just too adorable, I need to take more pictures of them, hahaha, I have a feeling these siblings will be trending tomorrow!"

"Maybe they’ll be trending this afternoon!"

"Don’t wait for the afternoon, check your phones, they’re already climbing the trending list. They’re at the bottom now, but steadily rising. Once the sibling gag spreads, they’ll be in the top three in no time!"

"Haha, it’s killing me, the sibling gag exposed, do we have a big influencer among us?"

The onlookers were discussing excitedly, while Little Taotie and Yuanyuan inside the store were completely unaware of the stir they had caused, already trending. If she knew, Yuanyuan might cough up blood.

The one waiting for them, Jiang Si, saw the trending news and felt terrible, sighing and frowning, making an urgent phone call: "Boss, Little Taotie is trending material, and something big has happened, she’s become a big name!"

Shen Cang, completely baffled, said in a deep voice: "Report everything from start to finish clearly."

"Yes!" Jiang Si meticulously reported everything from the start of the competition to now.
