Chapter 242 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (35)
Especially when you climb to the top of the mountain, you'll be surprised to find lilies of the valley planted right next to you. There's actually a flower field here, and next to it, there seems to be lavender, which is equally beautiful.
A vast expanse of purple, in varying shades, carrying a rich fragrance.
And right next to it are lilies of the valley flowers that look like bells.
It sways gracefully in the rain.
Soon, professionals quickly opened the protective barrier to prevent the flowers in the flower field, which cannot be exposed to rain, from getting wet in the heavy rain.
If such a large area were to become completely dead, the loss would be enormous.
Qin Huaichen took out his phone and wiped the rain off it.
Open it and aim it at the flower.
He Suining gets a lot of exercise, so going up the mountain is a piece of cake for her.
The rain was a bit much; it made her vision very blurry.
hum.
Just as I was about to climb up, my phone suddenly rang.
She took it out, puzzled.
Who is it that's messaging her at this time?
She opened it and took a look.
Little Old-Fashioned: [flower.jpg, look, it's a lily of the valley.]
He Suining was stunned for a moment.
I magnified my fingers and examined them closely.
However, I wasn't looking at the lily of the valley I'd been longing for, but rather at the surrounding environment.
This place looks almost identical to where she is.
and……
Is it really such a coincidence?
He Suining's heart began to pound violently.
Clutching her rain-soaked phone, she didn't reply to Qin Huaichen, but instead ran even faster upstairs.
Qin Huaichen.
Are you up there?
Qin Huaichen took several photos, some of which included himself.
He doesn't know how to take photos; he's a typical straight man.
Especially the photos of himself in the shot, the angles are bizarre. If it were a man, even a handsome guy would be photographed as an ugly man.
Fortunately, Qin Huaichen is really handsome.
So even with the tricky shooting angle, his long legs still looked incredibly long, and although his handsome face looked a little disheveled, he still exuded masculinity.
He's not very happy right now.
He frowned and checked his phone repeatedly, even making sure he had enough data.
Yes, I have.
Other apps can also open it.
Why doesn't Sui Sui reply to her?
Could it be that she was having too much fun chatting with Shen Tan and didn't want to reply, or that she simply didn't notice him?
His thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
He dejectedly lowered his hand.
Looking at the beautiful lily of the valley in front of me, I could no longer muster the slightest interest.
hum.
The phone rang.
He raised his hand in surprise, the word "mother" piercing his heart.
Qin Huaichen answered the phone, "Hello, Mom."
The fact that he received the call at this time made him feel uneasy.
He glanced at the cameraman, then turned his back to him.
I casually picked the wheat.
"Huaichen." Xu Yicai's voice sounded unpleasant and serious. This was a sign of her anger, and Qin Huaichen would instinctively tremble whenever he heard this voice.
Even though he's already so old.
However, the trauma he developed in childhood has left him so afraid that he is now terrified just by hearing his mother's unhappy voice.
"Mom was bored and watched the dating reality show you were on."
Qin Huaichen pursed his lips tightly, his voice sounding nonchalant, "Really? How is Mom feeling?"
Perhaps it was because of his good attitude.
Xu Yicai's seriousness dissipated considerably. "What a mess. It's a waste of your time to participate in a program like this. Huaichen, you're too obedient. Your father remarried, and frankly, what does his daughter have to do with you? You don't need to participate in this program for your father's sake."
Her voice clearly brightened again, "I called your dad today, and he gave me the show's contact number. I told them you should withdraw tomorrow. Oh, and I'll give you Miaomiao's WeChat later. Miaomiao is that flight attendant I was talking about—highly educated, beautiful, and from a wealthy family. You two can get to know each other, go out for dinner, and I'll send you the restaurant address later..."
My mother looks exactly the same as before.
Years have passed, but she has never changed.
She incessantly arranged everything for him, as if he were a puppet on strings. Every single string binding him was meticulously chosen by her.
Do whatever you're told.
Qin Huaichen slowly clenched his fist.
He could accept anything his mother said before, but he couldn't accept her leaving the show this time.
"Mom, I don't plan to quit the show." But he still made a tactful excuse, "It's almost the third vote, it'll be over soon."
“There’s no need.” Xu Yicai’s voice became stern again.
Just by listening to the voice, without seeing the screen, he could roughly guess his mother's expression. "Your time is not wasted on this. And that He Suining, who keeps calling me 'brother,' I've seen plenty of these pretentious women trying to climb the social ladder. It's only because you don't have a woman around you that you're easily fooled by this kind of woman."
Speaking of which.
Her voice even revealed a hint of disgust, but hidden within that disgust seemed to be something else: "You two, father and son, will both be deceived by this type of person. Your father is even more outrageous; he hired a nanny and got involved with her. Their identities are worlds apart; I don't know what he's up to. You must never learn from your father."
"..."
Qin Huaichen remained silent.
The feeling of being watched by a venomous snake returned.
For an instant.
Countless memories flooded his mind. He opened his mouth, speaking with fear and difficulty, "I don't want to. I won't quit the show. Mom, I'm all grown up now."
This time, Xu Yicai fell silent.
But he knew this was not the end of the matter; a great storm was about to be brewing for him.
really.
Xu Yicai instantly became hysterical, "Don't give me excuses! Do you like that He Suining? Are you out of your mind?! Your dad likes a nanny, and you like the nanny's daughter? Are you crazy?! I'm warning you, get out of the show right now and go see Miaomiao immediately, do you hear me?"
"I dont go."
"You're not going?" Xu Yicai laughed. "Qin Huaichen, do you think anyone will love you? Everything you have now—your upbringing, your status—is none of it your own. Your status was given to you by your parents, and your upbringing was cultivated by me bit by bit. Without me, you'd be a beggar. Would anyone love you then?"
Xu Yicai continued to provoke him with her words.
But she didn't see it as provocative; she was telling the truth. "When you were little, you were timid and sickly. I raised and educated you from the bottom of my heart. Even your face is a product of your father's and my genes! Without these, who would love you!"
Qin Huaichen's breathing became heavy. "No, that's not how it is."
My head hurts so much.
His tall figure was now as fragile as a child, as if he had returned to many years ago, when he could only lower his head and kneel at his mother's feet.
He has grown up.
I can tell the difference now.
I know that what Xu Yicai said is wrong, that it's not like that, how could it be like that?
But he didn't know what was wrong.
Or rather, his head was throbbing so badly that he couldn't refute it.
"Qin Huaichen," Xu Yicai continued aggressively, "if you don't withdraw from the show tomorrow, I'll go there myself. You don't want to make a big deal out of this, right? And that He Suining, if she dares to bother you, I'll slap her and make her socially dead. I'll let everyone know that she seduced my son, shameless!"
Qin Huaichen's eyes were bloodshot. "That's enough."
He gripped his phone tightly, the already prominent veins on the back of his hand becoming even more bulging. "Don't hurt her, you..."
"Qin Huaichen!"
Suddenly, He Suining's voice came from behind.
Her voice is very distinctive.
She's oblivious to her own coquettishness; she speaks to everyone in this tone, soft and friendly, but when she's being domineering, this tone intensifies.
The voice is easy to recognize.
Qin Huaichen thought he was hallucinating because of his headache, but he still turned around with trembling body.
It doesn't matter if all you see is nothingness.
but.
He saw He Suining, who was also soaked by the heavy rain, smiling at him.
He Suining ran up to the top of the mountain.
Qin Huaichen's tall figure was immediately noticeable. At 190 cm tall, he was even taller by one or two centimeters with shoes on. It would be hard to mistake him for someone else.
Besides, he has a good physique, fast shoulders, and a cool back view.
Achieving both of these goals simultaneously is even more difficult.
only……
He Suining tilted her head in confusion, wondering why Qin Huaichen, who was clearly tall and gave off a sense of security, looked so shaky.
It looked like I was about to fall at any moment.
She ran a few steps forward, laughing and calling his name loudly.
He turned around.
He Suining saw his reddened eyes, those eyes that she felt were filled with stars, but the tears did not fall.
His narrow eyes, with their beautiful corners tinged with intense red.
She's both beautiful and pitiful.
He Suining's smile vanished.
She slowly approached Qin Huaichen.
The phone he was holding fell from his hand in disbelief. It hit the ground hard, splashing a little water.
Qin Huaichen's hands had lost their strength.
The moment he saw He Suining, his whole body went limp. He could hear Xu Yicai's increasingly loud shouts from the phone, calling his name.
A mixture of truth and deception.
His voice, softly calling his name, overlapped with He Suining's.
One voice was loud.
One voice was soft.
But in his mind and ears, it seemed that he could only hear He Suining calling his name.
Just as He Suining was about to get close to Qin Huaichen.
He suddenly took a few big steps forward and quickly came to stand in front of her.
Before she could react...
He grabbed her wrist.
She looked down and felt the warmth of his palm. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms.
If we don't count that skiing trip.
This must be the first time he has ever hugged her so proactively.
This way of holding someone is something that a younger sister simply cannot explain clearly.
He Suining raised her hand and hugged his waist.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she could sense that he was in pain.
She gently patted Qin Huaichen.
There are no words.
Qin Huaichen hugged her tightly. She was so petite that he had to bend down to hold her so that they could be close together.
He buried his head in her snow-white neck.
I could smell the delicate, sweet scent that was unique to her.
"He Suining, I want to ask you a question."
His voice was slightly hoarse, very low, and nine-tenths pained.
He Suining continued to pat his back gently, as if coaxing a little boy, "If you ask, I'll stay right here and won't go anywhere."
Qin Huaichen chuckled, but the question he asked was still tinged with tears.
He endured it with great effort.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't hear it: "Do you think I deserve to be loved? Will anyone love me?"
He Suining suddenly pushed him away a little, looking up at him with a puzzled expression.
Her beautiful big eyes blinked.
It seemed he genuinely didn't understand why he would ask such a ridiculous question.
She smiled.
Although she should have been crying and feeling miserable in the current atmosphere, she still smiled.
His wet hands cupped his equally soaked face.
She shook it twice. "Qin Huaichen, how could no one love you? Your uncle loves you very much. Don't be fooled by how he always scolds you. My mom told me that your uncle thinks you are amazing. Whenever he talks about you, he is full of pride. He's just not good at expressing himself."
His eyes brightened slightly. "Really?"
He was now as fragile as a small black snake submerged in water, struggling to survive, with no strength even to wag his tail.
So it turns out his father was just bad at expressing himself?
If someone else had said this, Qin Huaichen would never have believed it.
But if He Suining said it, he would believe it.
She wouldn't lie to her.
She's the best person.
He Suining is the best.
“Yes, and my mom too.” Speaking of this, He Suining pursed her lips unhappily and accused him with her eyes, “When she calls me, she’s always concerned about you. If you didn’t know better, you’d think I was the adopted daughter and you were the biological one.”
She was exaggerating, but that's not important now; she just hopes he won't do that anymore.
It broke his heart to see it.
"And your friends." He Suining had never met his friends.
However, Qin Huaichen must have one or two good friends by now that he's grown up. "They must be friends with you because they like you and enjoy chatting with you, right?"
"And there's more." Seeing his dark pupils growing brighter and brighter, He Suining became addicted to talking.
She bounced up and down twice, waving her index finger, "Everyone in the dating reality show likes you, how could no one love you? Family, friendship, and romantic love are all forms of love, as are admiration, trust, and liking for you, right?"
Qin Huaichen stared intently at her.
His wet fingers traced her soft, fair face. "And what about you? After all that, you haven't told me whether you like me or not."
what.
I'm about to confess my feelings.
The plot seems to be going in a different direction than I imagined.
but.
He Suining didn't want the flame that had been so hard-won in his eyes to be extinguished, so she nodded, "I..."
Rumble.
The thunder was even louder than before.
Suddenly, a staff member rushed out, looking anxious. "He Suining, Qin Huaichen, let's leave quickly. Stop filming, let's call it a day." The last words were spoken to the cameraman, who looked utterly dejected.
