Chapter 62

Xu Shishi subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.

"No way!" she exclaimed, jumping up and down. "Although I felt like I was going to drool, I didn't actually drool."

Qin Su mocked her, "I think you'll be soon too."

Xu Shishi tried to explain: "I... um..."

Qin Su used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth.

"How is it?" Qin Su asked.

The fish meat is indescribably tender; it melts in your mouth without you even having to bite it, and the fresh, spicy flavor lingers on your palate.

Xu Shishi covered her mouth, her eyes glazed over: "..."

Qin Su, unusually patient, asked again, "Is it delicious?"

Xu Shishi's eyes finally moved, landing on Qin Su's face.

The next instant, her eyes suddenly burned with passion, and she grabbed Qin Su tightly: "Please, can you teach me?!"

God knows, she had never eaten such delicious spicy fish before; it was simply the fish of her dreams.

Qin Su was startled by her sudden movement and quickly pushed her away, saying, "There's oil on my apron."

"It's not difficult if you want to learn. I'll teach you when I buy the fish tomorrow."

Xu Shishi followed closely behind her, saying, "Okay, okay, I'll watch now."

Jin Xiao and Xue Jianxing had no use for anything and had long since retreated to the edge of the kitchen. Qin Su would occasionally ask them to pass her something.

Seeing Xu Shishi hugging and clinging to him, Xue Jianxing frowned imperceptibly.

What's going on? Xu Shishi seems to have really changed.

She used to see Qin Su as a rival in love, but now she's closer to Qin Su than to anyone else.

Xue Jianxing felt a little uncomfortable and gently called out to Xu Shishi, "Shishi, you're not wearing an apron. Be careful not to get your clothes dirty. Come over here."

Xue Jianxing was always gentle, so Xu Shishi didn't think much of it.

She glanced at her white top and felt it was a bit dangerous, so she did as she was told and retreated to the doorway, leaning against the door frame to watch Qin Su make the last dish of shredded pork with garlic sauce.

The kitchen was filled with delicious aromas, and as Xu Shishi looked around, she couldn't help but think about that question again.

Why isn't Qin Su a man?

If Qin Su were a man, she would still be willing to be with him even if he had no money.

wrong.

Xu Shishi stared at Qin Su's stunningly beautiful profile and suddenly had a bold idea.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a man, does it?

***

After Qin Su finished cooking, she took off her apron and hung it on the rack, then rubbed her wrists: "All done."

She led Jin Xiao and the other two to the restaurant to serve the dishes.

Every time a dish was served, everyone's stomachs would rumble.

The pork rib and corn soup had just been taken off the stove and was still bubbling. It was ladled into everyone's bowls. The pork ribs in the milky white soup were trembling, and you could imagine how tender and juicy they were even before you tasted them.

The shrimp and tofu dish features large, whole shrimp that have no fishy taste, are crisp and bouncy, and the tofu is tender and smooth, melting in your mouth with just a touch.

The fish meat in the spicy fish dish has few bones and is tender. It's hot and spicy, and when you roll it on your tongue, the taste is so satisfying that it makes you feel relaxed and comfortable, and you even break out in a light sweat.

The cola chicken wings are sweet but not greasy, and the thick sauce has already seeped into the texture of the wings. They are soft, chewy, and delicious. After eating two, you can pick up a piece of the stir-fried potato shreds on the side. It's a perfect combination.

The room was filled with a delicious aroma, and everyone was starving.

In the past, everyone would chat and talk at the dinner table, but today they didn't care at all and just kept eating.

In the observation room, Xiang Shuangshuang looked at them with envy, drinking water incessantly, while the live chat was already filled with lamentations.

Help! Is this a dating show or a food show? I'm starving!

How prescient I was to have ordered takeout while Qin Su was cooking!

[When I watch people cook or eat, I usually analyze their relationships. Today, I just want to know how delicious Qin Su's cooking really is.]

[Save the children, I want to eat too.]

No one can resist delicious food, no one!

After finishing the meal, everyone looked at their empty plates and at each other's lingering expressions, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xue Jianxing stood up first: "I'll clean up."

Gu Chiyan: "Since you and Jin Xiao have both helped with the cooking, Fu Bai and I will do it."

Cheng Fubai also said, "We'll take care of it, you two rest for a bit."

Qin Su only ate until she was seven-tenths full, but she was still lazy: "It doesn't matter who you are, I'm not moving."

Jin Xiao: "You're the boss now, who dares to make you move?"

"Now you're calling me your ancestor?" Qin Su snorted. "Who looked down on me yesterday?"

She mimicked Jin Xiao's voice in a high-pitched voice: "You, with your spoiled princess manner."

Jin Xiao: "..."

Qin Su: "Who is the young lady?"

Jin Xiao, feeling indebted to the man who had fed him, said, "I am, I am the young lady, okay?"

Qin Su laughed and spat at him, "You wish! You want to be a young lady? You'd be better off as a maid."

[Help! What a bickering couple!]

[Seriously, does Qin Su's description of Jin Xiao as a maid count as "mud sculpture"? Does this mean the male guests are starting to be "mud sculptures" from the female guests onwards?]

I'm literally dying of laughter from the comments.

[Oops, I accidentally pressed the lock screen button, and I was embarrassed by my own aunt's funny face.]

Why does Qin Su seem to have such great chemistry with everyone? It's driving me crazy with indecisiveness!

[I bet a pack of spicy strips that Jin Xiao will definitely send a text message to Qin Su tonight!]

In the hot summer, it's easy to feel sleepy after a big meal. Since the guests couldn't go out during the midday break, they all went back to their rooms for a nap.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the crew said they were worried that the guests would be bored in the cabin, so they prepared fishing gear for them to fish in the river in front of the cabin.

Although everyone calls the filming location of dating reality shows a "little house," the house is actually quite large.

The three-story building features a sparkling swimming pool surrounded by blooming flowers, with a cool and clear river flowing in front, creating a beautiful and pleasant landscape.

The production team also provided them with straw hats to shield them from the sun, but Qin Su was not satisfied.

“I know your filming crew has parasols, why don’t you share them? What good are straw hats?”

The filming crew didn't dare refuse her, so they set up a large outdoor sun umbrella for them.

Qin Su then directed the three male guests to bring out low tables and chairs, squeeze watermelon juice, make grape iced tea and lemonade. Since there was no time to make desserts, they temporarily baked some snacks using cookies.

Finally, she lay down on the only deck chair, took a sip of juice, and leisurely cast her fishing rod into the water.

It's a scene straight out of an exquisite vacation.

The directing team, who originally intended to film a rural-style movie: "..."

Viewers who were secretly watching variety shows: "..."

The celebrity observers in the observation room, who could only drink plain water: "..."

Hey, is this really fishing?

Xu Shishi moved closer to Qin Su: "If we catch a fish, can we still have spicy fish for dinner?"

Qin Su said, "Okay."

Xu Shishi: "But what if we can't catch it?"

Qin Su smiled and said, "No, the fish only bite willingly."

(Because dating reality shows are too mundane, adding Su Jie's inner thoughts would make the progress too slow. We'll talk about the different strategies she used for each guest's different personalities at the end of the show.
