Chapter 59: People with Manners Don’t Eat Randomly
“Just eat it directly. It’s really wasteful to dip it in the medicine.”
Benjamin, confused, put the snack into his mouth and instantly widened his eyes.
He could taste it! Not just bitterness, but the savory taste of the snack!
His sense of taste had returned?
Benjamin couldn’t believe it and ate a few more pieces, still tasting them!
Had Hope healed him with that mouthful of herbal wine?
He wanted to ask immediately, but reason

Hope knew Wehleatack something to ask, soso she said, “Evereorene brought something, butu I didn’t preparerananything. I’ll go downstairs s and buy some foodd.”
Benjamin immediatelyly stood up, “I’ll go with yyou. We can’t just eatarand drink; I’ll see if tithere are any playing cardsdsron something.”
WWithout waiting for Lily and the others to rerespond, they both headed dodownstairs.
AAs they were going down, Benjaraimin took the irinitiative to ask the cameramanatotpapause fifilming.
“Hope, you know about my…“.

“I know”
Hope answered before Benjamin could finish. After all, there were two cameramen behind them, and it was better if Benjamin’s secret wasn’t exposed to anyone else.
Benjamin, surprised, said, “So, can you help me?”
He knew Hope had a medical certification, but he had been doubtful before.
But after just one sip of that bitter soup, he could taste the flavor!
It couldn’t just be a coincidence!
Hope nodded, “I can help, but it’ll cost ten million.”
Hope was short on money, and Benjamin’s

wealth could afford it.
“As long as you can help me, ten million is no problem.” Benjamin had already spent more than ten million on this condition.
For others, losing their sense of taste might not seem like a big deal, but he was a celebrity, a regular guest on a food show. If it became known that he couldn’t taste, it would severely affect his career.
And who would want to be a “handicapped” person?
“Deal. But we’ll wait until the recording for this episode is finished.”
“Alright.”
The two of them spoke in riddles, leaving the cameramen puzzled. They were curious,

but had no right to ask, itching with curiosity inside.
After buying playing cards and ice–cold beer, they returned to the rooftop, where Noah and Sylvia had also come back with snacks.
Alex was trailing behind, carrying a lot of things with his hands full, while Sylvia had empty hands and Noah had only a little.
Clearly, Alex had been treated like a tool.
No one knew how these three had ended up together again.
With limited space, everyone sat on the ground of the rooftop.
Snacks and drinks were all piled in the middle.

“It’s a bit hot!” Sylvia squatted down, refusing to sit.
Noah took off his jacket and folded it neatly. “Sit on my coat.”
“Thanks, big brother!”
Alex, rubbing his red, chafed hands, was reminded by his manager that he had to keep his word and leave the program group by the evening.
To change the topic, he went to find Noah and Sylvia, hoping to use them to create a new topic so that the netizens wouldn’t keep focusing on what he had said earlier.
When he found them, they immediately asked him to help with carrying things.
Sometimes, the brother and sister chatted

and joked, completely ignoring him, making him feel like a follower!
When he finally returned, seeing them getting close to each other, he felt resentful.
He grabbed a cup of water and drank it, but the bitter taste exploded in his mouth, and he couldn’t help but gag.
Noah, sitting next to him, saw his reaction and disdainfully pinched his nose, pushing him away.
Although Sylvia was disgusted, she pretended to be concerned. “Alex, what’s wrong with you?”
Alex forced himself not to vomit, then drank half a bottle of mineral water before frowning and speaking.

“What was in that cup earlier? It nearly killed me!”
Lily raised her hand. “That’s the medicine Hope prepared for me earlier…”
“Medicine?” Alex was frightened and almost gagged, worried about the side effects of the strange medicine he had just consumed.
If it was something for Lily’s weight loss or digestion, would he get diarrhea?
Lily quickly explained, “Don’t panic, it’s just a calming medicine.”
Although she hadn’t drunk it, Sienna and Benjamin had, and they were fine. Also, the fragrance of the herbal aroma made them feel relaxed and comfortable. If it weren’t for the director asking them to chat and play games, Lily would have wanted to go back

and take a nap.
“Since it’s medicine, don’t just leave it lying around. Do you have no manners?”
Alex’s words were aimed at Hope. If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t be stuck as Noah and Sylvia’s follower, and he wouldn’t be working part–time like a dog and still helping to carry things!
Lily, however, got angry. Although she was a comedic actress, she had a temper too!
“People with manners don’t just drink others‘ things!”
It was in a disposable cup, and it wasn’t even full. Clearly, it was someone else’s.
Alex saw Lily getting angry and quickly regained some rationality.

He sheepishly apologized, “Lily, please don’t misunderstand. I wasn’t talking about you. I’m just criticizing the situation. After all, it’s medicine, not everyone can drink it!”
“Leaving it lying around like that, someone might accidentally drink it. If something happens, it’ll be a problem.”
He said this while glaring at Hope.
Hope pretended not to notice, continuing to eat her snacks.
She hadn’t had dinner yet!
“If you’re worried about things going wrong, don’t drink other people’s stuff”
Lily didn’t soften her tone or expression.

The atmosphere grew awkward.
At this moment, the program team brought up an elderly woman.
It was Scarlett’s grandmother.
Grandma was holding a bag of plums and waving at everyone with a smile.
“Hope, I brought you some delicious plums!”
Sylvia ran over excitedly. “Thank you, Grandma.”
Sylvia reached out to take the plums, but Grandma suddenly frowned.
“Hmph, eat those snacks at my house. Opening the packaging and not finishing them, you made my granddaughter skip dinner and just eat snacks!”

Sylvia was stunned, not understanding why the old lady was so angry over just unfinished snacks.
A bit wronged, she spoke with a quiver in her voice, “You… your granddaughter just wants to eat snacks and doesn’t want dinner. What does that have to do with me?”
“Even if I hadn’t opened the packaging, she still wouldn’t eat dinner!”
Isn’t it normal for a teenager to want snacks instead of meals?
Why was she blaming it on her?
Sylvia felt wronged, and the tears came easily. The more she thought about it, the crazier the old lady seemed. Even when she was an assistant, Grandma didn’t like her.

Now she was insulting her!
“Hmph, you didn’t finish it, how can you eat it tomorrow?”
To avoid wasting it, they had to eat it all tonight!
