Chapter 211 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (3)
The one behind him was a bit shorter than Qin Huaichen, about 1.8 meters tall.
He had a refined appearance and a gentle smile. He came down the stairs and greeted Su Niannian and Shen Que in a mild tone, "Good morning, Niannian, Shen Que."
Shen Que took a moment to look away from his phone, glanced back at Shen Tan, and casually waved in response, "Hi."
He Suining was now certain that Shen Que disliked Su Niannian.
Qin Huaichen and Shen Tan went into the open kitchen to help prepare bowls and chopsticks.
Su Niannian turned on the rice cooker.
She glanced towards the stairwell, bit her lip, and said, "Has Sui Ning not gotten up yet? Should I go up and call her, or should I leave some food for her?"
[Why does He Suining always sleep in so late?]
[Seriously, even though this is a dating reality show, you can't just do nothing, you're such a useless person.]
[Wasting national food supplies.]
[First of all, let me clarify that this is not misogyny; I am a woman myself, but this kind of behavior is really annoying.]
[It's better to keep thinking about it.]
Su Niannian glanced at the phone on the stand, then reached out to cover it up, only making matters worse.
She gave an awkward smile to the two men who hadn't even seen her.
Then he looked away from his phone, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone, please don't talk nonsense. Sui Ning is probably just not feeling well."
Qin Huaichen glanced at Su Niannian.
Thinking back to when I ran into He Suining at six o'clock this morning, she looked like she was going out for exercise.
His thin lips moved slightly, as if he was about to say something.
He Suining had already changed into slippers and walked towards the dining table.
As if she had overheard Su Niannian's words by chance, her beautiful cherry lips revealed a stunning curve, "Su Niannian, you called me? I heard my own name."
Shen Que stood up from the sofa and looked at her with surprise.
I asked casually, "You got up so early?" She gestured with her hand, "Dressed so casually, are you going to exercise?"
He Suining hummed in agreement and smiled at her, "Yes."
One person emerged from the edge of the sofa, while the other walked in from the entryway. They happened to meet as they were talking, and walked side by side to the dining table.
We ended up sitting together.
Su Niannian's smile froze for a second. "Sui Ning, so you went out to exercise. It's been three days, and I only just found out you exercise."
She quickly glanced at the comments section.
[Hilarious! What a load of rubbish, he'll probably just go for a quick stroll and come right back.]
The comments section was largely unconvinced by He Suining's claim of going out to exercise; most of them were negative.
Su Niannian frowned, about to comfort He Suining and tell her that the comments section was full of people criticizing her.
As a result, a group of people appeared out of nowhere and flooded her live stream.
[Are you kidding me! Our fairy sister just went to exercise, and it's all over the short video platform now.]
[It's trending! Oh dear, some people are just trying to get attention; they did three days of live-streaming cooking and still didn't trend.]
[Get lost! I've been fed up with you bunch of trolls for a long time. What did this beautiful woman ever do to you?]
[Go, Fairy Squad!]
Where did this random group of fairies come from?
Su Niannian was confused. Seeing that the comments section was full of praise for He Suining instead of what she wanted to see, she simply couldn't believe it.
When will Ning be able to exercise?
It's probably just a persona.
As for the bullet comments, they might be paid trolls.
She glanced sympathetically at He Suining, who was sitting in a chair chatting happily with Shen Que.
Money can be spent on many things, but a fake is a fake, and it can never become real.
He Suining was the least likable one among the six of them.
Hopefully she will come to terms with the facts soon.
Su Niannian shook her head helplessly, put the rice into a bowl, and served the food to the table with the others.
He Suining took the pair of chopsticks that Shen Que handed over.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qin Huaichen sitting opposite her.
Su Niannian sat next to Shen Que.
When she sat down, Shen Que clearly made a "tsk" sound, but Su Niannian acted as if nothing had happened and pretended not to hear it.
He Suining was too curious.
He nudged Shen Que with his elbow.
Shen Que turned around and looked at her, puzzled.
She leaned closer and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You really hate her?"
The two of them knew perfectly well who she was.
Shen Que rolled his eyes at her innocently, pouted, and replied in a low voice, "You talk like you don't dislike her." She made an exaggerated face, "White lotus."
"Haha."
He Suining was amused and gave a thumbs up, nodding repeatedly.
She said she had seen Su Niannian's behavior somewhere before.
When Shen Que saw through her, she remembered a popular saying these days.
They were just joking around.
Su Niannian looked around and said, "Why don't I see Meng Shile? I'll go call him."
She got up.
Just as they were about to make a move, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the stairs, accompanied by a loud, boyish voice, "Sorry, sorry, I took a shower and realized I missed breakfast time."
"No, it only took a few minutes." Su Niannian smiled and sat down again. "Hurry up and sit down to eat."
Meng Shile awkwardly scratched his half-dry hair and sat down opposite her.
Shen Que was sitting opposite Shen Tan.
He Suining glanced curiously at Meng Shile, her eyes sweeping over the faces of the men.
As expected of a romance variety show.
Three men, three styles.
Meng Shile is a typical "puppy dog" type, and he's quite popular online now. He's wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt and jeans, looking very youthful.
She's about the same height as Shen Tan, but her face is younger.
The exposed arm muscles are not large, but they are not absent; they are more like the type that are slender but have thin muscles.
This is perfect for girls who don't like muscular men.
He Suining, anyway, didn't like it.
She likes strong men because they feel good to the touch.
what.
She was taken aback.
I don't think I've ever actually touched it, so how can I be so sure it feels good? Or am I just imagining it through a screen?
Meng Shile ate heartily, looking like a silly boy compared to Shen Tan's elegance and Qin Huaichen's big but graceful eating.
He ate while grinning foolishly at Su Niannian.
Shen Que rolled his eyes. "You idiot."
Meng Shile, being far away, certainly didn't hear him; his attention was entirely on Su Niannian. He inadvertently noticed a detail that others had missed: "Niannian, is your hand injured?"
A cry of surprise.
It draws everyone's attention.
He Suining discovered something interesting.
Even the seemingly gentlest Shen Tan glanced at him and reminded him, "Remember to apply the medicine later; there's a first-aid kit in everyone's room."
Qin Huaichen was the type who didn't talk much and didn't like to meddle in other people's business, so he just glanced at it and continued eating.
They ate with great relish and didn't seem to be picky eaters.
Meng Shile was the most concerned. He put down his chopsticks and hurriedly tried to grab the first-aid kit.
Although he was furious, he was indeed the one who cared about Su Niannian the most at the scene.
Su Niannian quickly stood up, waved her hand, and blocked him across the table, "It's okay, Meng Shile. I just accidentally got burned by oil while cooking. Almost everyone who cooks gets burned, it's nothing."
[It reminds me of my fear of cooking.]
[Su Niannian, you're such a kind person.]
[Some people freeload, sitting in their chairs without moving an inch.]
Everyone was busy eating and didn't watch the live stream. But the production team recorded it all, and you can find it all on short video apps if you want to watch it.
these three days.
He Suining was the most criticized.
However, the situation has changed slightly today.
[How strange, why do they keep focusing on our fairy sister?]
[My fairy sister volunteered to cook again, what does it have to do with her?]
[Su Niannian is such a nice person, how come Shen Que and Fairy Sister don't like her? ┓( ′?` )┏]
on site.
Seeing that she was really alright, Meng Shile hesitated for a moment before choosing to sit back down in her chair.
Without thinking, he said, "He Suining and Shen Que can both help you. We'll be staying here for twelve days, so we can't rely on you to cook for us all the time."
Shen Que remained silent, her face stern and displeased. She glanced at Meng Shile a few times but said nothing.
He Suining smiled, put down her chopsticks, and said, "Meng Shile."
Meng Shile looked at him with a puzzled expression; his left eye seemed to say "clear" and his right eye seemed to say "stupid."
She could clearly sense that she couldn't get angry at all, and just found it a little funny. "If you want to help, you can just say so. Why make things difficult for the two of us girls?"
talking.
He Suining raised her chin. "Aren't there two other men opposite us?"
Shen Tan helplessly raised his right hand. "I'm sorry, I had surgery on my hand after the car accident, as you should know, so I can't lift heavy things."
Qin Huaichen shook his head, "I can't cook, but I can help with chopping and washing vegetables."
Meng Shile sensed the oppressive atmosphere.
She frantically scratched her head, "No, no, He Suining, Sister He! I didn't mean anything by it. I'm just bad with words. Please, please don't misunderstand."
He realized he had said the wrong thing.
He looked awkwardly at Su Niannian and said, "Niannian, what I meant was that we can all help."
He Suining raised one hand, "Hey~"
She noticed that Qin Huaichen's gaze was fixed on her, and his eyes looked at her like he was looking at a "rebellious child".
“I never said I would help.” Her smile was a bit like a cat’s, and her bright eyes revealed a hint of cunning and pleasure. “On the first day, Su Niannian said she would take care of everything herself.”
“You have to take responsibility for what you say.” He Suining slowly lowered her hand and turned to look at Su Niannian. “Unless Su Niannian needs our help and asks us to, then I might be willing to lend a hand.”
She looked at Su Niannian with great interest.
I wonder if she would be willing to ask for help.
It didn't sound like a difficult thing, but He Suining had a feeling that Su Niannian was unlikely to speak up.
really.
Not a few seconds passed.
Su Niannian turned her head and smiled, showing no sign of anger, and looked at He Suining, "No need, I like cooking. No one needs to help. I feel happy to be able to do my part for everyone."
She turned to face Meng Shile, who was sitting down, and said, "Thank you, Meng Shile."
He Suining scoffed softly.
She muttered to herself, "Pretending to be something you're not."
Snapped.
She muttered something, then suddenly felt a light tap on her foot under the table. It wasn't hard, but just enough for her to feel.
He Suining glanced under the table with a puzzled look.
A pair of long legs, clad in gray slippers, had nowhere to go, and were spread apart on either side of her feet.
This must belong to Qin Huaichen on the other side.
Could it have been an accident?
She looked at the man opposite her with a confused expression.
Qin Huaichen happened to be looking at her, his eyes seemed to carry a hint of reproach, leaving her completely bewildered.
No, brother.
What does my muttering to myself have to do with you? How come your ears are so sharp?
After dinner.
After cleaning up her dishes, He Suining went upstairs.
The others gradually finished packing and followed them upstairs.
The program will be broadcast live throughout, and the cameras will automatically turn off between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. the next morning, and then turn back on at 6 a.m. the following day.
Qin Huaichen returned to his room.
He picked up a small notebook, no bigger than the palm of his hand, from the table. The notebook, which wasn't very big to begin with, seemed even smaller in his large hand.
He has a habit of recording each day, but it's just a sentence or two, not a diary.
I opened the next few pages.
Qin Huaichen held a black ballpoint pen and wrote a sentence on it in a flamboyant style: "Rebellious girl, He Suining, needs strict discipline?" But he added a question mark after it.
It's 10:05.
He Suining took a shower, lay in bed, and did some exercise.
Just as I was feeling a pleasant soreness all over, there was a knock on the door.
She really didn't expect anyone to knock on her door in the middle of the night. After a moment of surprise, she walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
Very vigilant.
"I."
A deep male voice came from the doorway, and perhaps worried about being overheard, he lowered his voice even further.
He Suining didn't recognize who it was.
After thinking about it, I opened the door anyway.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huaichen was standing outside the door.
She didn't quite understand and they looked at each other.
What does that mean?
Sister, do I have such great charm that I've already captivated him on the very first day I lost my memory?
She came to my room in the middle of the night and tried to seduce me.
The thought crossed my mind and made me laugh.
How can it be!
The two barely spoke, standing there awkwardly in the air.
He Suining raised an eyebrow.
Qin Huaichen cleared his throat.
Standing there like this isn't right. He lowered his handsome eyes and said, "Auntie said you blocked her. She called me at noon and asked me to tell you not to cause trouble with her on the show."
Etc., etc.
There's way too much information here.
He Suining rubbed her temples, her face filled with disbelief, and took two steps back.
This time, it was Qin Huaichen's turn to tilt his head and look at her in confusion.
A large, slightly rough, calloused hand easily supported him against the door frame above his head.
He looked like he was about to burst in at any moment.
Although she knew it was an illusion.
"Oh, oh." He Suining's eyes flashed.
The line of text above Qin Huaichen's head reappeared, but this time there was an extra sentence.
There's a slightly sleazy feeling to it—hehe, surprise, isn't it! That's right, Qin Huaichen is the son of the family your mother remarried into, so nominally he's your older brother.
"Um……"
There's nothing more to say.
It would be embarrassing for him, a grown man, to stand there if others saw him, and it would be even worse for her reputation.
So he nodded and went back.
