Chapter 52

Qin Su rested her chin on her hand, watching the follow-up footage from the previous world.

She reached out and touched Ye Yan's brow in the water mirror, looking somewhat puzzled: "Why does he still remember me?"

According to the rules of the world, he should be forgotten along with everyone else.

The cat was also surprised, but it was surprised by something else: "Why is he so sad?"

Qin Su looked down at it.

The human and the cat looked at each other, both seeing confusion in each other's pupils.

“I don’t know why he’s so heartbroken.” Qin Su thought for a moment. “Even if he remembers me, he should have let go of it by now after a few years.”

"And seeing him sad, I actually felt a little sad too."

Qin Su did not shy away from discussing her true feelings; she gestured a distance of a few centimeters.

"Although it's only a little bit."

The cat scratched its ear, even more confused: "Why is Su Su sad too?"

Qin Su said, "Probably because he's quite likable. I feel he's very unique."

"Oh—" the cat seemed to understand but not quite.

After thinking for a moment, it suggested, "Then we can find a way to take his soul after he dies, make a body for him, and let him stay by Su Su's side."

Qin Su curled her hair and pondered, "It seems feasible..."

However, in the short time it took for the two of them to talk, Ye Yan's soul had already disappeared.

Qin Su searched that world but couldn't find it.

how so?

Qin Su was surprised, and then she remembered what the cat had said last time: Could Ye Yan also be from another world?

Could it be that the cat was right?

"Never mind." Qin Su said with a hint of regret, "We'll meet again if fate allows. Let's go to the next world first."

She waved her hand, and the water mirror disappeared, causing the world to spin and ripples to spread all around.

"Susu, I'm sorry, it's because my cooking is terrible, and now you're hungry."

Qin Su looked up and saw a girl standing timidly in front of her, twisting her fingers with her eyes down.

“If it weren’t for me offering to cook for you and making such a terrible meal, you wouldn’t have only eaten a little bit and now you’re feeling so uncomfortable.”

The girl looked like she was about to cry, with an expression of both grievance and self-blame.

"How can you blame yourself?" A boy walked over with a hint of impatience. "Shishi, go and eat some fruit first."

He frowned, his thick eyebrows furrowing, and turned his head in displeasure, intending to speak to Qin Su, but he met Qin Su's face as she turned around.

Like the moon breaking through the clouds, shining on the fresh snow on the mountain peak, it was so beautiful that it took one's breath away.

The boy was stunned.

Qin Su raised the corner of her eye and sized him up: "Jin Xiao?"

Her voice in this world has been adjusted to be clear, sweet, and has a feel that is somewhere between a young girl and a mature woman.

For some reason, Jin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and he even stammered, "W-what?"

Qin Su was just confirming it.

The client in this world is a 22-year-old dance student from a wealthy family who is participating in a dating reality show called "Meeting Your Heartbeat".

She met Gu Chiyan, the president of a financial company, at an alumni speech held at the school, and fell in love with him at first sight. When she happened to hear that he was participating in this program, she also signed up.

However, due to her upbringing, the original owner had a spoiled and pampered personality, often described as a "drama queen," who was both awkward and delicate, making her quite unlikable.

Gu Chiyan doesn't like her, the guest observers on the show don't like her, and even the viewers outside the show don't like her.

Because "Meeting Your Heartbeat" was a phenomenal variety show, extremely popular and highly popular, the original owner was subjected to relentless insults, and ultimately suffered a mental breakdown and accidentally fell to her death.

Her wish is that many, many people like her and that she receives a lot of love.

...

"It's nothing." Qin Su leaned back, frowned, and placed her hand on her stomach. "Could you get me a glass of hot water?"

Although Jin Xiao was somewhat taken aback by Qin Su's beauty, he was still annoyed with her after regaining his composure.

After spending two days together, everyone gained a deep understanding of Qin Su's temperament.

This guy is such a drama queen.

For example, tonight, Qin Su and Gu Chiyan were supposed to cook, but she came back late and, seeing Xu Shishi helping in the kitchen, gave her a hard time.

Xu Shishi is innocent and kind. Thinking that she was not feeling well, she offered to help, but she didn't appreciate it and kept a cold face while eating, only taking a few bites before stopping.

Everyone else is chatting and eating fruit on the outdoor terrace, but she's clutching her stomach and huddled on the sofa, acting out of place, which makes Xu Shishi apologize to her instead.

Jin Xiao disliked her very much.

He has a straightforward personality and says what he thinks, directly stating, "Who told you not to eat dinner? Now that you're hungry, who can you blame?"

Qin Su frowned slightly: "Who told you I was hungry?"

Jin Xiao: "If you're not hungry, why did you make me pour water?"

Qin Su calmly replied, "My period has started."

Jin Xiao: "Auntie? Who's there..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his speech.

Jin Xiao stiffly shut his mouth, looked at Qin Su's hand resting on her stomach, and then at her paler-than-usual face, and finally realized what was happening.

This "Auntie" is not the same as that "Auntie".

He ruffled his hair back to ease the awkwardness: "...Then I'll go get you some water."

Jin Xiao is just straightforward, but not stupid.

He handed the prepared warm water to Qin Su, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Is your pale complexion tonight because of a stomachache?"

Qin Su took a small sip of water, looked up at him, and said, "What else did you think?"

The steam from the glass rose on her eyebrows and eyes, and her dark eyelashes were damp with moisture, making her look somewhat fragile.

Jin Xiao was speechless.

He was too embarrassed to say it, but he thought Qin Su was jealous of Gu Chiyan and Xu Shishi, and that he wasn't the only one who thought so; probably everyone thought so too.

"I thought..." Jin Xiao hesitated for a moment, "So you didn't eat dinner because you weren't feeling well?"

Qin Su said lazily, "I guess so. Also, the dishes for dinner were too spicy. I can't eat them right now."

Jin Xiao had never had a girlfriend, but he had vaguely heard that girls should eat less spicy and cold food during their period, and now he understood everything.

Qin Su's complexion was not good due to health reasons. She didn't eat much for dinner and didn't go to the terrace with everyone to enjoy the breeze and eat ice cream.

She didn't do it on purpose.

Everyone misunderstood her.

Jin Xiao was a little annoyed, but couldn't help saying, "Why didn't you say anything?"

Qin Su: "I already said that."

She asked, puzzled, "My stomach wasn't feeling well this afternoon, and I was expecting to be back quite late, so I texted Shishi to tell her."

Jin Xiao was taken aback: "Shishi?"

Qin Su was listless and said weakly, "Yes, I asked her to cook for me, and I'll cook for her next time it's her turn to cook."

So it wasn't that Xu Shishi took the initiative to cook for Qin Su, but rather that the two of them agreed to switch the cooking order?

Moreover, Xu Shishi knew that Qin Su was feeling unwell due to health reasons, and seeing everyone's dissatisfaction with Qin Su, she didn't try to explain for her.

Jin Xiao's mind was a bit of a mess, and some of the beliefs he had previously established were collapsing in an instant.

Qin Su stopped there and said no more.

She put down her water glass, stood up, and said, "I'm going back to rest now. Thank you for pouring me the water."

"Oh, right." She raised her chin, still with that haughty young lady demeanor, but with a touch of innocent cuteness, "Please thank Shishi for her comforting words and bring her a gift tomorrow."

Jin Xiao's feelings were mixed.

He returned to the terrace, where everyone was still chatting and laughing.

Xu Shishi sat next to Gu Chiyan, resting her chin on her hands, listening to him speak with a girlish expression.

Hearing Jin Xiao's voice, she turned around and her smile disappeared.

"Are you alright?" Xu Shishi asked with a hint of worry.

She very understandingly advised, "If Su Su said anything hurtful, don't be angry. I apologize on her behalf. That's just her personality."

Xu Shishi has said similar things many times in the past two days.

Every time she said that, it would elicit pity from others and dissatisfaction from Qin Su.

Her tolerance and thoughtfulness contrasted sharply with Qin Su's unreasonable behavior.

Especially for someone with Jin Xiao's straightforward personality, he finds Qin Su annoying.

However, this time Jin Xiao did not stand up for her as before; instead, he frowned and glanced at her.

"She asked me to convey her gratitude to you."

“She went to sleep first because she wasn’t feeling well today, um…” Jin Xiao paused awkwardly for a second, “It’s a girl’s special period every month.”

Men are bound to feel awkward bringing up such things, but Jin Xiao felt that he had misunderstood Qin Su before and didn't want others to misunderstand him in the same way, so he still spoke up.

Then, in front of several people, he asked Xu Shishi bluntly, "Qin Su said she had told you before and even switched cooking times with you. Why didn't you tell me?"

Jin Xiao was originally the person who was supposed to cook with Xu Shishi.

Xu Shishi's face stiffened: "I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Seeing that the others were all taken aback, she knew something was wrong, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be angry about this. I was planning to tell you tomorrow."

Xu Shishi's appearance and style lean towards a youthful and energetic girl, and her tearful look makes people feel sorry for her.

Jin Xiao, being a straightforward man, could only frown and say, "Alright, I was just asking."
