Chapter 69

When Ye Yan said "I know," Qin Su's brow twitched, almost thinking that he still possessed the memories of the previous world.

The cat system was so frightened that it let out a shrill meow.

But soon, Ye Yan added, "I watched the variety show videos before I came."

He remained calm: "So I know each and every one of you."

His statement is somewhat similar to Chu Ge's.

Qin Su said knowingly, "I see."

Ye Yan: "Mm."

He stared intently at Qin Su.

Qin Su was also looking at him.

Ye Yan felt a chill run down his spine and his heart race under her gaze, causing him to start having all sorts of wild thoughts.

Why is she looking at him like that? Is she like me, someone who becomes completely out of sorts as soon as she sees him?

Should he say something? What should I say to a girl on our first meeting to win her favor?

Before Ye Yan could come up with a plan, Qin Su spoke up.

"Mr. Ye."

Ye Yan held his breath nervously: "What?"

Qin Su waved her hand and politely continued, "How long do you plan to hold my hand?"

Ye Yan was stunned.

He looked down and realized that he was still holding Qin Su's hand tightly.

Ye Yan: "..."

So that's why Qin Su had been watching him.

He immediately let go, took half a step back, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Perhaps it was a lingering effect from the previous world, but whenever Qin Su saw his slightly embarrassed expression, she felt an urge to tease him.

She wanted to ask, "Does it feel good?", but she swallowed the words back.

In the end, she simply smiled appropriately and said, "It's okay."

Ye Yan was unaware of her inner thoughts.

He was annoyed that he had been so rude on their first meeting, and dared not stare at Qin Su openly anymore.

Qin Su turned around and led him towards the Heartbeat House: "We just finished lunch and haven't rested yet. Have you eaten?"

Ye Yan lagged behind by two steps, taking the opportunity to secretly glance at Qin Su.

He made the hasty decision to come find Qin Su, and was still dealing with the resettlement company's affairs until he landed, so he didn't have time to eat at all.

He wanted to lie and say he had eaten, but for some reason, he found it hard to lie to Qin Su.

Even if the lie is harmless.

He hesitated for a moment and couldn't answer immediately.

Qin Su turned and glanced at him: "Didn't you eat?"

Ye Yan cleverly rephrased his statement: "I'm not hungry."

On a first date, holding onto someone's hand and not letting go is already a bad idea. If you then ask them to cook for you, the girl will probably feel unhappy.

Qin Su seemed to have read his thoughts and suddenly asked, "You don't think I'd cook for you separately, do you?"

Ye Yan was taken aback.

So Qin Su means she won't do that?

He thought...

Ye Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a strange sense of loss.

Qin Su pushed open the door to the Heartbeat House, and the guests in the living room and the camera all turned to look at her.

Ye Yan appeared before everyone.

He had sharp features and a cold demeanor; he was quite intimidating when he wasn't facing Qin Su.

At least the living room and the live chat were quiet for a moment.

In the observation room, the celebrity observers had all gotten a heads-up that the new male guest seemed to have some connection with the investors and was quite influential.

But they didn't expect the new guest to be so good-looking.

Xiang Shuangshuang covered her mouth: "My God, that's so handsome!"

Zuo Fei said enviously, "He has such a strong presence, and it doesn't feel like he's deliberately putting it on."

"Don't you guys think he's a bit ascetic?" Shi Yi laughed. "He seems to be the type that young girls like these days."

Zhang Wenyan: "Judging from the female guests' reactions, the situation might change a bit."

Tan Ling listened to their discussion but did not agree.

In his opinion, there was no need to guess at all, because he had already noticed that the new guest had looked at Qin Su three times in just one minute on camera.

The goal is self-evident.

[Ah! Mommy, help! He's my dream guy!]

I used to think Gu Chiyan was a typical domineering CEO, but now I realize he's just a much smaller, less mature version.

Did nobody notice he followed Qin Su in? Something seems fishy going on.

Where did the production team find this person? This person clearly isn't an ordinary person.

If Chu Ge's boldness made people feel a sense of crisis, then Ye Yan's arrival was like an alarm bell ringing overhead.

The three male guests, in particular, were on high alert.

"Hello." Jin Xiao stood up first. "What's your name?"

Ye Yan politely replied, "My surname is Ye, Ye Yan."

Qin Su took a sip of water and, seeing that everyone was a little nervous, smiled and said, "Ye Yan said he watched the variety show before he came and knows everyone, so please don't be shy."

Her words immediately lightened the atmosphere considerably.

Xu Shishi is quite particular about looks, and seeing the new male guest's outstanding appearance, she couldn't help but be a little tempted.

Wanting to lighten the mood, she asked, "Really? Does Ye Yan know my name?"

"Of course." Ye Yan looked at her and said calmly, "Xue Shishi, right?"

"..."

The air fell silent once more.

Xu Shishi's expression froze.

Qin Su had just taken a sip of water when she narrowly avoided choking.

She glanced at Ye Yan meaningfully, recalling how Ye Yan had calmly said outside, "I know every one of you."

Tsk.

Ye Yan keenly sensed something was wrong: "Did I say something wrong?"

He did watch all the videos of the show, but he was so focused on Qin Su that he didn't pay attention to the others and only vaguely remembered the gist of it.

"Then the surname should be Cheng?" He thought for a moment, "Cheng Xingxing?"

"..." Xu Shishi's smile was about to fade.

[I'm laughing so hard! Hahaha, Xu Shishi was forced to change her name! Hahaha!]

How can he be so calm?! Help, my embarrassing moment of feeling sorry for him is acting up again!

[Can't anyone smell the gossip? Qin Su said the new guest watched the video, why did she say that? Did the two of them talk about something outside just now?]

[Let's cut this part, hahaha]

Cheng Fubai kindly came to the rescue: "Perhaps there are too many of us, and Ye Yan accidentally remembered it wrong. Why don't we all reintroduce ourselves?"

He took the initiative to shake hands with Ye Yan and said politely, "My name is Cheng Fubai, the 'Fubai' in 'Life should be spent drinking three large cups of wine'."

Ye Yan shook hands with him and reminisced for a moment.

This person seems to have cut fruit for Qin Su, drawn sketches for her, and even gone to the school library with her.

Gu Chiyan: "Hello, I am Gu Chiyan, Chi as in pond water, Yan as in banquet."

Ye Yan: "Hello."

Hmm, this person seems to share common interests with Qin Su, has a good family background, and is also decent-looking.

Jin Xiao: "My surname is Jin, which means 'to pluck the chaff' and 'to be brave'."

Ye Yan nodded, and unusually took the initiative to say something more: "I remember you are an e-sports player."

He even played games with Qin Su, got along best with Qin Su, and had the most fans who shipped them as a couple.

Jin Xiao was surprised: "Yes, that's me."

Xu Shishi composed herself and smiled sweetly: "I am Xu Shishi."

"There are two other female guests upstairs packing their things," Qin Su asked Ye Yan. "Do you want to go upstairs and put your luggage down too?"

Gu Chiyan said, "Then I'll take Ye Yan up there."

"OK."

After the two went upstairs, Jin Xiao and Cheng Fubai also went back to rest.

Qin Su tied on an apron, opened the refrigerator, scanned the contents, and took out a few items.

Xu Shishi leaned closer and asked curiously, "Didn't we just finish lunch? Su Su, why are you chopping vegetables again?"

Qin Su: "Ye Yan hasn't eaten yet, so I'll just make him some fried rice."

"Oh, oh." Xu Shishi watched her cut carrots and casually said, "The new guest likes carrots? I remember you don't like them."

Qin Su suddenly smiled: "Yes, he likes to eat carrots."

Xu Shishi was stunned.

She felt something was off for a moment, but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.
