Full of skills, a face-loving万人迷 (万人迷 means万人迷, a person everyone adores), the transmigrated supporting character x a全能 (全能 means omnipotent/all-rounder)影帝 (影帝 means影帝, emperor of acting) who is da...
The air remained still for five seconds.
Lu Jingchu stood behind Shen Shiqing with a smile in her eyes, looking down at Shen Shiqing.
Shen Shiqing was taken aback by Grandma Lin's sudden question.
"ah?"
"Lu Jingchu and I are barely even together, how come everyone thinks we're..."
"You two are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman." Grandma Lin looked at Lu Jingchu and nodded to show her approval.
Lu Jingchu responded politely.
"Haha, Grandma, no, we are... uh," Shen Shiqing tried to explain in a way that Grandma Lin could understand, "we are those coworkers."
“Colleague,” Lu Jingchu said.
The terms "workmate" and "colleague" overlap.
"Hmm? Is he a colleague or a coworker?" Grandma Lin wondered.
"Fellow worker."
"colleague."
"colleague."
"Fellow worker."
The two of them could never agree on anything, and when their eyes met, they couldn't help but smile.
"Oh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Young people are like that, I understand." Grandma Lin smiled kindly, her eyes conveying "I understand, I understand."
Shen Shiqing wanted to explain further, but Lu Jingchu had already started talking to her.
"Sigh, whatever, let's just leave it at that. Consider it me trying to scam Lu Jingchu."
Shen Shiqing hung his head, unaware that online netizens were already going crazy over their relationship.
[Hahahaha, the old lady has a good eye! She recognized it at a glance!]
[Aren't you two, Brother Lu and Sister Shi, completely out of sync?]
What a coworker! What a colleague... How did you two even come up with this idea?!
Hmm, in a sense... that's certainly true?
[Sister Shi wanted to explain further, but Brother Lu avoided the question? Hmm? What's going on? Brother Lu seems to be giving the runaround...]
[Hahahaha, could it be that Brother Lu hasn't won her over yet? That's how it always is on TV, hehehe]
Okay, today's happiness comes from the young couple. Let's look forward to what they'll do next.
[By the way, today is Qixi Festival!!!]
...
Lu Jingchu and Grandma Lin chatted for a while and quickly became familiar with each other. Lu Jingjing even naturally found a hoe and went to work in the fields with Shen Shiqing.
Grandma Lin went back to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables and prepare dinner. The three of them eating together was already very lively for Grandma Lin, and she was very happy, her steps quickening considerably.
Lu Jingchu is meticulous in his work, just as serious as he is in acting, focused and dedicated.
He was very fast; boys are strong, and with Lu Jingchu's help, the land was quickly tilled, and new crops could be planted tomorrow.
Lu Jingchu raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead, but then slowed down her movements.
"hiss……"
"Teacher Lu, are you alright?" Shen Shiqing was still concerned about Lu Jing, so she put down her hoe and walked towards him.
"It's nothing, I just got some sweat in my eyes, and I think some dirt accidentally got in too." Lu Jingchu waved her hand. "I'm fine, you go about your business."
"Lu Jingchu doesn't seem to be alright."
"If mud gets in your eyes, it's easy for them to get inflamed, right?"
"Lu Jingchu is in trouble, will I be banned by the fans?"
"Let me blow on it for you." Shen Shiqing mentally prepared herself and pulled Lu Jingchu to sit down on the edge of the field.
"These eyes?" Shen Shiqing asked him.
"Hmm." Just one word was enough to make Shen Shiqing's heart itch.
Shen Shiqing leaned in and blew on Lu Jingchu's eyes, which were covered in mud, over and over again.
She was the one who was nervous; her heart was racing.
"Are you all done? Teacher Lu, how are you feeling now?" Shen Shiqing looked at him very seriously.
"You have to be alright."
"I feel much better. Thank you, Teacher Shen, but I feel like there was a bug in my eye just now." Lu Jingchu's voice reached Shen Shiqing's ears, and she always felt that Lu Jingchu was being coquettish.
"How could that be? Lu Jingchu would never act cute. I must be overthinking it."
Shen Shiqing shook his head, subconsciously trying to shake off such thoughts.
Then, very skillfully, he continued to blow on Lu Jingchu's eyes.
"Xiao Shen, Xiao Lu, dinner is ready, come and eat." Grandma Lin had been standing there watching them for who knows how long, a sly smile on her face.
Shen Shiqing panicked a little. "Okay, we're coming right away." She hurriedly stood up.
"Let's go eat first."
"Um."
"Thank you for just now."
As the sun was about to set, the setting sun cast long, long shadows of them, a scene of serene beauty.
[I'm not saying this to be mean... but Lu Jingchu is acting way too strangely...]
This is very unusual, I'm telling you...
His eyes were perfectly fine just now... there was nothing wrong with them, and there was no dirt... could I have seen wrong?
You read that right... He's perfectly fine... He's even quite happy...
So he did it on purpose??? Was he lying to Sister Shi???
[His eyes are shining! I'm an ophthalmologist, his eyesight is perfectly fine, that cunning young man... Shen Shiqing actually believed him?!]
[Hahahaha, Shi Jie is so easy to fool! I really loved watching the part where she blew into her eyes!!!]
I feel like their love is so pure and innocent, like the cautious and deliberate affection of high school students...
[Ah!! The warriors of pure love have collapsed to the ground!! It's my blessing to have shipped them!!! I'm going crazy!!! Completely crazy!!!]
While netizens on the internet were still going crazy, Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing had already happily eaten with Grandma Lin.
The big yellow dog pounced at Lu Jingchu's feet, looking very attached to her.
On the table are some everyday vegetables, all freshly picked from the garden.
At the dinner table, Lu Jingchu and Shen Shiqing praised Grandma Lin's cooking skills in perfect unison. Grandma Lin smiled from ear to ear and kept putting food on their plates.
The food in both of their rice bowls was piled up like a small mountain.
They chatted and ate, their warm and harmonious atmosphere resembling that of a family. Yet, everyone knew they had only known each other for half a day, making this chance encounter all the more precious.
After the meal, the distance between them shortened considerably, and Grandma Lin and Shen Shiqing held hands and chatted casually.
Lu Jingchu then cleared away the dishes and fed the big yellow dog that had been following him.
It's quite well-behaved. Lu Jingchu patted the dog's head, thinking that perhaps raising one in the future wouldn't be bad.
The kitchen was tidy and organized by Lu Jingchu, and Grandma Lin's laughter could be heard from outside the door.
She was very happy because of the two outsiders, Lu Jingchu thought.
"Where is Xiao Lu?" Grandma Lin looked around but didn't see Lu Jingchu. "She was so engrossed in chatting that she didn't even notice Xiao Lu was gone. Oh dear."
“Grandma didn’t leave, she’s washing the dishes inside,” Shen Shiqing said, comforting Grandma Lin.
"Xiao Lu is a good person; I can tell at a glance."
"Look at his looks, his height, and his strength, he's really good at working."
"Grandma, we're not..."
"Xiao Shen, you'd better cherish this opportunity. Fate is a tricky thing, and Grandma has high hopes for you two." Grandma Lin couldn't stop talking once she started, speaking earnestly to Shen Shiqing.
"What are you talking about? You seem to be having a lot of fun."
It was Lu Jingchu.
"Damn it, did Lu Jingchu hear this...? Help..."
Shen Shiqing felt like he was going to die a thousand times in his heart.
