【26】Really good at acting

Su Xueer's heart sank suddenly, her face changed slightly, her eyebrows were furrowed, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

She thought to herself, "It's bad."

Chi Rui frowned and asked with confusion, "Who is Qianqian?"

He tilted his head slightly, plucking the thread end with the needle in his hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

Su Xueer's mouth twitched, and she muttered to herself: This guy's acting skills are really good, the Oscars owe him a little golden man.

She quickly pretended to be calm, shrugged her shoulders, and said lightly, "I don't know."

Chi Rui's eyes turned and he continued to add drama. He looked at Qianyu who was making a fire, pretending to be confused, and asked in a louder voice: "I don't go out all day. Qianyu, do you know Qianqian?"

Qianyu immediately stopped adding firewood, raised his head, and looked confused.

He scratched his head, blinked his eyes and replied, "Who is it? I don't know."

After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to add firewood as if nothing had happened, and did not forget to stir the firewood with a stick.

Su Xueer felt in her heart that it was a pity for these two men not to be actors.

Then, Qianyu asked Su Xueer, who was cooking, with a questioning look in her eyes: "What about you? Do you know him?"

Su Xueer shook her head vigorously, pretending to be calm.

She wasn't as calm as those two guys.

She stared at the pot, stirring the spatula unconsciously, and said loudly, "I don't know him, and I haven't seen anyone else come to our house. Qianyu, turn down the heat, turn it down, it's almost burnt!"

At this moment, she was so confused that she didn't even remember what was cooking in the pot.

This time he mistook sugar for salt and added a lot of sugar to the pot.

Zhao Yueru's face turned pale instantly, and she asked in panic, "Hasn't Qianqian been here?"

Her hands were wrung together tightly, her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of worry.

Chi Rui asked again: "Who is Qianqian?" He leaned forward slightly, his face full of curiosity.

Zhao Yueru frowned and said anxiously, "I've been having trouble lately, so I asked my good friend Liu Qianqian to treat your leg. She's been with me since she was a child, and I've taught her a lot about acupuncture. She's definitely capable of helping you, so I asked her to come. But I went to her house today and couldn't find her... Has she really never been here?"

All three of them shook their heads.

Su Xueer put the fried cabbage and bacon in the pot into a plate and put it aside.

Then she pretended to walk up to Zhao Yueru and said in fear, "Oh, this is your fault, sister. The mountain roads here are so difficult to walk on, and you actually asked her to come here alone? What if she encounters some bad guys, or wolves or tigers in the mountains, what will she do?"

Zhao Yueru didn't take it seriously, curling her lips and saying, "It's okay. The mountain roads here aren't that difficult to walk on. I always come here alone and never encounter any bad guys or wolves or tigers."

Su Xue'er tilted her head and said with a puzzled look on her face: "How can they be the same? Your home is only a short distance away from mine. We are from the same village. Is Liu Qianqian's home also in our Fengxian Village?"

Qianyu chimed in: "Besides, every time you go back, I always follow you from a distance. I only come back after I make sure you get home safely."

Zhao Yueru was excited again and looked at Chi Rui: "Brother Rui, did you ask Qianyuhu to send me?"

Chi Rui neither admitted nor denied it.

"I just know that in this world, besides my eldest brother, Brother Rui is the best to me."

Qianyu:……

Su Xueer: ...

Zhao Yueru was moved for a long time before she came to her senses and said in panic, "Oh no! Something must have happened to Qianqian."

After saying that, she looked at Chi Rui and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother Rui, what should we do?" Her tears were welling up in her eyes and could fall at any time.

Chi Rui thought for a moment, then said, "Qianyu, go and help her look for it."

Qianyu glanced at the cabbage and bacon that Su Xueer had just fried, covered her stomach, and said pitifully: "I haven't eaten yet."

What is this?

Ask him to accompany her to find a dead person.

Where can he find it?

Amelia Su said considerately: “It’s okay, Qianyu, I’ll save the food for you and leave a few more pieces of bacon.”

She smiled, but there was a glint of cunning in her eyes.

Qianyu then reluctantly followed Zhao Yueru to look for the dead person.

After Qianyu left, Su Xueer kept his share of the meal.

Of course, there was only cabbage, not even a piece of bacon.

Then she put the dishes that she and Chi Rui were going to eat on the table.

I only fried two dishes, one with cabbage and bacon, and the other with diced potatoes and radishes.

Chi Rui helped to serve the food, and the two of them sat down and started eating.

Chi Rui picked up a piece of bacon, put it in his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It tastes good."

Su Xueer looked at Chi Rui, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said softly: "Hehe, I'm also good at cooking some home-cooked dishes."

Chi Rui's expression changed slightly, and he continued to pick up dishes and eat them with rice.

"You should eat quickly too." He said slowly while chewing.

Su Xueer smiled and nodded, "Okay."

I picked up a piece of cabbage and put it in my mouth, and immediately I felt unwell.

Oh no, I was so nervous just now that I mistook sugar for salt and seemed to have put too much.

Chi Rui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "This bacon and cabbage are sweet and have a unique flavor. It reminds me of the candied fruits I ate when I was a child."

Su Xueer's face flushed all of a sudden, and she scolded: "Oh, I accidentally put too much sugar in it just now."

Chi Rui picked up another piece of diced potato and radish with chopsticks. As soon as he put it in his mouth, his expression froze instantly, and then he quickly drank a sip of water.

"These diced potatoes and radishes..." Chi Rui deliberately prolonged his voice.

Su Xueer looked at him nervously, "What's wrong?"

"It's so salty that you can eat it as pickles." Chi Rui joked with a smile.

Su Xueer lowered her head in embarrassment and muttered, "I...I don't know what happened. I accidentally put too much salt."

Chi Rui put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Amelia Su calmly, "You don't have to worry about Liu Qianqian's affairs."

He could see that she had been worried about this.

Su Xueer looked at Chi Rui in surprise.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chi Rui continued.

Oh no!

One sentence warmed Amelia Su's heart.

She was stunned and didn't know how to respond to Chi Rui for a moment.

Chi Rui curled his lips: "Eat quickly."

Su Xueer quickly buried her head in eating her meal. She could no longer tell whether the dish was sweet or salty.

The two of them ate a little bit, and there was a lot of food left over. Su Xueer put all of it on the plate left for Qianyu.

After eating, Chi Rui started making the cotton-padded jacket again, and Su Xueer cleaned up the dishes.

It was already dark when Qianyu came back.

When I came back, I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. I saw a lot of leftovers and I was ecstatic.
