Chapter 223 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (16)
After dinner.
Meng Shile glanced at Shen Que, then at Su Niannian.
Everyone has finished cleaning up.
Shen Que was curled up on the sofa playing games; she seemed to really enjoy them. Aside from the time after the vote, the two of them went for a walk outside and chatted for a while.
They haven't spoken seriously since.
Su Niannian was in the kitchen, washing and cleaning.
He hesitated whether to go in and help out, and maybe chat a bit to get to know them better.
After all, this is a dating reality show.
It's perfectly normal to take initiative.
However, after looking at Shen Que, he couldn't bring himself to take another step.
in fact.
Shen Que is good-looking and has a cheerful personality, but he just dislikes Su Niannian.
Su Niannian is gentle and has a pure appearance, which is the type of woman most men like.
Meng Shile does indeed like this type of girl, which is why he set his sights on Su Niannian the moment he saw her.
just.
Now, however, he is starting to waver.
At this time.
Shen Tan walked past him, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of warm water into his cup.
Meng Shile glanced at him enviously.
Sometimes I really admire Shen Tan.
He was clearly interested in He Suining, but he had never seen him take the initiative, not even once.
Meng Shile didn't quite understand.
Could it be that Shen Tan feels he is inferior to Qin Huaichen and therefore is unwilling to get involved, or is there some other reason?
His gaze lingered for too long.
It had been so long that Shen Tan couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. He turned to look at Meng Shile and smiled, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there a problem?"
"Um," Meng Shile said with a smile, trying to build rapport, "Brother, can I ask you a question?"
He raised his hand and waved it, meaning "Do as you please."
then.
He asked, "I feel like you have a good impression of He Suining, but I haven't seen you do anything about it?"
He really couldn't understand it.
This is a dating reality show! If you don't take the initiative, how can there be a story? Are you just going to stand by and watch the girl you like get chased away by another guy?
Anyway, if it were him, he couldn't do it.
Shen Tan never expected that the question Meng Shile had been agonizing over for so long was actually this.
He smiled gently at him, but there was a deeper meaning in his smile: "Sometimes you can't rush things."
pity.
Meng Shile didn't understand, and Shen Tan's words made him even more confused.
In the kitchen.
He Suining went inside.
Su Niannian was doing something, lingering there and refusing to leave. When she went in, Su Niannian even smiled at her.
He was wiping himself back and forth with a towel in his hand.
He Suining walked past him and went to Qin Huaichen's side.
She mainly came to check out her desserts.
Qin Huaichen watched the video tutorial and his work looked quite professional; it was already taking shape.
She exclaimed, "Wow! They're so round and cute! What flavor are they?"
"Mango, chocolate, cocoa, and custard lava, what flavor do you like?"
Su Niannian walked over at this moment and took a look.
Seeing that he actually made it, I was truly amazed, and a hint of admiration appeared in my eyes. "You're so amazing! You were able to make it after just watching the tutorial once."
She had a somewhat stereotypical view of Qin Huaichen.
I never expected that he could not only cook, but also make desserts.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be his girlfriend?
Su Niannian glanced at He Suining without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, they weren't in that kind of relationship.
Qin Huaichen nodded indifferently, then looked at He Suining.
"I want to eat cocoa, but I also want to eat custard."
This is so difficult.
Qin Huaichen was amused by her dilemma and softened his voice considerably, though it was hard to tell at first glance. "Then just eat both of them."
He Suining raised an eyebrow.
He waved his hand with a smile, "That won't do, there are other people here."
The words just fell to the ground.
He replied, "It's okay, I'll make some more."
Watching them chatter away, completely ignoring her, Su Niannian felt a surge of displeasure again.
Even knowing that the two were siblings.
Isn't that a bit too arrogant?
She's such a beautiful girl standing here, you can't just ask her anything.
“You two have such a good relationship,” Su Niannian casually interjected. “It’s like an older brother taking care of his younger sister. It’s a pity I’m an only child, otherwise I would also want an older brother who is this good to me.”
He Suining glanced at her.
Contrary to her expectations, her expression wasn't stiff or unnatural; instead, she laughed even more happily. "That won't do. This is a dating reality show; I'm here to find love."
Talk about love.
At such a young age.
Qin Huaichen frowned and glanced at her.
Su Niannian saw this and secretly smiled to herself.
Although He Suining was more sophisticated and could control her emotions better, Qin Huaichen was a typical man who didn't like to lie, and she was immediately exposed.
He Suining smiled, but she just felt bored.
She was just checking to see if her Snow Mochi was ready, not to start a drama of two women fighting over one man with Su Niannian.
The spirit is like a scripture.
"elder brother."
Seeing that Xue Meiniang wasn't better yet, and Su Niannian's incessant chatter was making her ears hurt, He Suining simply slipped away, saying, "Call me when Xue Meiniang is better."
"Ah."
She ran away as fast as she could.
Qin Huaichen reverted to his indifferent demeanor and continued making the remaining mochi.
The movements were methodical and orderly.
His tall figure stood there like a majestic mountain peak, while the petite Su Niannian stood beside him, looking up at his perfect profile.
His eyes revealed his strong and powerful physique.
She liked Shen Tan's personality.
But she also really liked Qin Huaichen's looks and physique.
Ugh.
Why can't the two be combined into one?
"Brother Qin, do you need my help?" Su Niannian took a step closer to him. "I can cook, so I can help you out."
She had already reached out her hand to help.
Qin Huaichen raised his arm to block her, saying, "No need."
"..."
He finished speaking, but his hands didn't stop moving.
But seeing that Su Niannian hadn't left, he looked over in confusion and said, "You don't need to stay here."
"...Oh, okay. Then if Brother Qin needs my help, just call me."
Su Niannian is finally gone.
Qin Huaichen shook his head and continued working on the snow-white mochi in his hands.
What did Su Niannian do?
[Didn't she like Shen Tan? She was interacting with him a lot the past few days, and even voted for him. Why is she clinging to Qin Huaichen now?]
[Does Su Lianhua think that what others like is necessarily the best?]
[Oh, I get it. Basically, it's about competing with the fairies.]
[Some people shouldn't be so malicious towards Su Mei-mei. This is a dating reality show, isn't it? The point is to watch the dramatic romance, right? If there's no competition between male and female characters, what's the point of watching?]
[That's right, I support Su Niannian fighting He Suining.]
Some viewers commented that they really enjoyed the spectacle.
He Suining stood outside watching the endless stream of comments. By this time, she had already accumulated quite a few fans thanks to her pretty face and the exercise she had been doing these past few days.
The comments section wasn't entirely filled with insults directed at her anymore.
I remember the comments from a few days ago; the attitude towards her was absolutely appalling.
No wonder "he" couldn't bear it and actually cut his wrists.
Dark history, dark history.
*
Several hours passed.
Shen Que's cheerful shouts came from the living room, "Time to eat mochi! He Suining! Time to eat mochi, come down here quickly!"
He Suining went upstairs for an afternoon nap.
She had already woken up when she heard Shen Que's voice.
He came downstairs, yawning.
Downstairs, a group of people are distributing mochi.
Su Niannian was standing with Shen Tan, discussing the flavors.
Meng Shile and Shen Que stood facing each other, and the two of them tore off half of their own food to taste it.
Qin Huaichen stood at the top of the stairs waiting for her.
Holding two large, round mochi in her hands, they were soft and chewy, looking plump, white, and tender.
"Try it."
He Suining's eyes crinkled with laughter. "Judging from their expressions, I know it must be delicious."
Qin Huaichen gave a dismissive "hmm" without much concern.
He held the large hand holding the mochi forward and extended it.
She took it and took a big bite.
Snow skin mooncakes are not hard to buy in Tianjin; many dessert shops sell them.
He Suining remembered that she had eaten it before, but she couldn't quite recall what it tasted like. However, she guessed it probably wasn't anything particularly delicious, otherwise why would she have absolutely no good memories of it?
But this one is different.
She gently broke the mochi pieces apart, and the yellow, creamy filling flowed out, looking very appetizing.
Some remained on her fingers.
She didn't pay much attention and handed the half of it to Qin Huaichen.
Standing on the steps, He Suining's height seemed to have decreased considerably, and she no longer needed to stand on tiptoe to stretch out her arms.
Qin Huaichen's gaze fell on her bare, fair arms.
Hot weather.
She was wearing a white dress with short sleeves and lace trim on the sleeves, which looked quite cute.
He was momentarily dazed.
A soft bite was offered to her thin lips.
"Eat quickly."
Qin Huaichen subconsciously opened his mouth and took a bite, but then she let out a gasp.
A hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes.
Their lips lightly brushed against her fingertips.
A moment of silence.
He Suining laughed in exasperation, "Aren't you going to open your mouth? How long are you going to keep biting me?"
Really.
Even feeding him can distract him; I don't know what he's thinking about.
How come you're so big but your brain hasn't grown at all? You look so blank and dazed.
Qin Huaichen seemed to realize something only then and quickly took a few steps back.
He Suining glanced at her bitten finger.
Not really bothered, she handed him the remaining half, saying, "You made it yourself, so you should taste it too."
"I……"
Qin Huaichen felt like a robot, completely obeying her commands one by one.
He opened his mouth without even realizing it.
Now, it obediently reached out, took the mochi, and bit into it.
It was finished in just a few bites.
The taste is acceptable.
It smelled exceptionally sweet, as if it had absorbed her faint fragrance.
"I'm sorry about earlier."
Qin Huaichen's tone finally softened noticeably.
He Suining took big bites of the mochi, eating with great satisfaction, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed.
After swallowing it forcefully.
My fingers were covered in runny egg yolk.
Qin Huaichen turned and went to the kitchen, where he took out a clean towel.
He held her hand carefully.
The soft, smooth touch in his palm made him stiffen, as if he were handling a precious treasure, and he dared not use any force.
But his expression remained completely calm.
He helped her wipe her fingers.
Her fingers were fair with a hint of pink, clearly showing that she had been well cared for by her mother.
Long and beautiful.
Her fair fingers were stained with a creamy yellow color, but after being carefully wiped with a snow-white towel, they returned to their jade-like appearance.
Qin Huaichen suddenly found a kind of "nurturing" pleasure.
just.
In this feeling that he should be treating his younger sister, there seemed to be an additional feeling that he couldn't quite figure out.
Wiping complete.
Qin Huaichen released his hand as if nothing had happened. "Alright."
[Dude, your ears are going to explode.]
[Outward appearance: Indifferent; Inward expression: Wife's kisses and affection.]
[Hahaha, bro, why don't you watch the live stream recording later? Your ears are super red, what are you thinking?]
[I really wanted a handsome guy to wipe my hands, but when I looked down at my pig's trotters, I cried even louder.]
He Suining glanced at his ear.
Kind of cute.
I really want to pinch it.
But it's not the right time.
They don't have enough goodwill towards each other right now.
He Suining looked at Qin Huaichen, who deliberately pretended to be expressionless, appearing mature and composed, and laughed even more happily.
Who says this dating reality show isn't fun?
It's so much fun!
If you're looking for a romantic partner, Qin Huaichen would be a good choice.
She's good-looking and has a great figure.
He comes from a good family and has a calm and composed personality.
Aside from being quiet, I can't see any other flaws.
but.
If Qin Huaichen doesn't like her, she won't force him.
At once.
Just let it be.
Seeing He Suining smiling happily, Qin Huaichen dared not look into her clear eyes even more.
Those big eyes.
Her happy smile left him at a loss for words.
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
The next moment.
Qin Huaichen turned around helplessly, grabbed the towel, and went back to the kitchen.
after that.
Meng Shile and Shen Que went outside for a walk; it seems like things are going well for them.
He Suining was a bit gossipy about them.
We should ask Shen Que a good question when he gets back.
Su Niannian and Shen Tan sat on the sofa, chatting casually.
Qin Huaichen was tidying up in the kitchen.
She thought for a moment and then went upstairs.
After dinner.
He Suining received a call from the production team, saying that there was a package for her and asking her to come to the door to pick it up.
When I got to the door, I realized it was sent by my mother.
When I opened it, I found some of her daily toiletries, pillowcases, and the like. Her mother was probably worried that she wouldn't be comfortable living here.
Her heart warmed.
Suddenly, a staff member called out to her again, "Sister He, could you take this package back with you? It's for Brother Qin."
Qin Huaichen's.
She took a look.
The package wasn't big; I picked it up tentatively, and it was very light.
So they took them all with them.
The staff member thanked her a few times, and she said goodbye and left.
Back to the cabin.
Qin Huaichen had already gone upstairs; she went upstairs without saying goodbye to anyone.
I went to his room.
"Qin Huaichen, your package."
No one answered from inside the door.
He Suining called several times but received no response, so she gently kicked the slightly ajar door.
The door was pushed open.
She peeked out and looked around; indeed, there was no one there.
"Where did you go."
He Suining walked in. "Qin Huaichen, I'm coming in. I'm just dropping off a package for you, I'll leave right away."
