Chapter 71

Qin Su's choice of Ye Yan was certainly not unintentional.

She was simply testing the other person by quickly seeking opportunities to be alone with him.

Qin Su narrowed her eyes as she watched Ye Yan push the shopping cart ahead.

Imagine you meet someone in your life who happens to you in a situation where it's completely impossible for them to bump into you.

Would you feel pleased or wary?

Do you feel it's fate or that the other person has ulterior motives?

Not to mention that Qin Su and Ye Yan's encounter was separated by time and space jumps and countless small worlds.

The probability is much lower than that of a normal person encountering such a situation by chance.

The cat system has no human emotions, so its first reaction is: Is there danger? Just take care of it.

Although Qin Su was not so ruthless, some doubts lingered in her mind after the initial shock subsided.

...

Shopping at the supermarket is a great option for people of the opposite sex during the ambiguous stage of a relationship.

The man and woman walked slowly together through the relatively narrow shelves, occasionally getting close to each other to discuss the items they were buying, which unknowingly fostered an ambiguous relationship.

This time, Qin Su's wish had nothing to do with Ye Yan, so she naturally didn't plan to proceed cautiously like in the previous world. Instead, she went straight for the easy and direct approach of flirting.

The two were picking out sauces by the shelf when Qin Su would suddenly tug at Ye Yan's sleeve, her fingertips brushing against his wrist.

"Could you help me get that bottle on the top shelf? I can't reach it."

Ye Yan's entire arm was numb, and he reached for the item she specified with half his body stiff.

Qin Su's eyes quickly swept over his face: "Thank you."

Passing by the fresh food section, Qin Su bent down slightly to observe the fish in the glass tank.

She asked Ye Yan to watch with her, and the two of them stood close together. She seemed to casually turn her face towards him, and a strand of curly hair brushed against his neck.

Ye Yan's neck slowly turned red.

Qin Su, seemingly oblivious to what had happened, asked, "Which one do you think is better?"

Ye Yan didn't dare look at her, and randomly pointed to one: "This one."

"Okay," Qin Su agreed.

She asked the owner to take the fish out and clean it, then raised her hand to Ye Yan's earlobe: "Don't move, it looks like you've touched something here."

Ye Yan froze on the spot as if he had been struck on a pressure point, his brain completely shut down, and he could only repeat Qin Su's words: "What...what did you brush against?"

Qin Su gently pinched his clean ear, then pulled it back and smiled at him, saying, "It's just a little dust, see, it's nothing."

Ye Yan's ears were so red they were about to explode; he had no interest in checking whether there was actually dust on her fingers.

Qin Su was so close to him.

Qin Su touched him.

Qin Su was still smiling and talking to him.

Ye Yan was like a clumsy dog ​​being held in its owner's arms for the first time, exuding a kind of naive and silly charm.

Qin Su watched every subtle change in his expression and asked with a hint of seduction, "What's wrong?"

Her eyes were like deep, dark whirlpools, threatening to suck in every creature that met her gaze.

Ye Yan felt a dizziness, and the most genuine and deepest thought in his heart these past few days blurted out: "I think I've fallen in love with you at first sight."

Qin Su: "?"

This answer surprised her. She paused slightly, her eyes darting around: "What did you say?"

Ye Yan then came to his senses and realized that he had spoken his true feelings.

He vaguely sensed that something was off about the atmosphere just now, but he didn't suspect Qin Su, simply assuming that he was bewitched.

Now that he's said it, there's no way he can take it back.

He simply went for it.

"Although this is only our first day meeting, and it might seem abrupt for me to say this, it's been from the very first moment I saw you—"

"No, to be precise, from the moment I heard your name, I felt my soul struggling to get closer to you."

Legend has it that people have past lives and future lives.

Ye Yan thought that perhaps he had some connection with Qin Su in his past life, or owed her something, which was why he felt uneasy whenever he saw Qin Su in this life.

Or perhaps love at first sight truly exists in this world, to the point that the moment you look into that person's eyes, you know in your heart, it's over, it can only be her.

Ye Yan suppressed his nervousness and solemnly continued, "I..."

Qin Su suddenly laughed, interrupting him: "Are you sure you want to pour out your heart here?"

Ye Yan was taken aback, only then realizing that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

He turned his head and looked to the side, where the fishmonger was smiling at him, holding a bag of fish.

The aunties in the next area stopped watching TV and moved a stool over to watch the scene with great interest.

Ye Yan: "..."

When the fishmonger saw him looking over, he handed him the fish and encouraged him, "Young man, you have a bright future. When it comes to pursuing girls, you have to be bold. Keep it up!"

Ye Yan said, "...Thank you."

The auntie chimed in, speaking in her local dialect: "With such good looks and a lot of effort, there won't be any problems. But it's best not to talk about dating in the supermarket. Talk about it in a more romantic place."

The aunt paused here, looked at Qin Su, and asked in a low voice, "Young man, do you not have any money?"

Ye Yan was speechless, wondering what kind of image he had in his aunt's eyes.

But he knew they meant well, so he could only explain, "I have money, don't worry."

The aunt seemed not to believe him, after all, who among the wealthy would confess their love in a supermarket?

She earnestly advised, "It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can earn money sooner or later. The most important thing in life is sincerity."

Ye Yan: "..."

This is really hard to explain.

Since he probably wouldn't be coming to this supermarket again in his life, he simply agreed with the auntie and said, "Okay."

Qin Su couldn't help but chuckle.

Ye Yan glanced at her, and the helplessness in his heart slowly dissipated.

Well, being misunderstood once is worth it to earn her a genuine smile.

...

The two of them bought their things and went to pay.

After paying, Ye Yan, carrying two full shopping bags, took the elevator down to the parking lot with Qin Su.

Ye Yan opened the passenger door for Qin Su, watched her fasten her seatbelt, and hesitated for a moment.

The conversation that just took the form of a confession was unexpectedly interrupted. Should he bring it up again now?

Qin Su's lack of response, does that itself constitute an answer?

As if guessing what he was thinking, Qin Su looked up and stared at him for a few seconds.

Are you waiting for my response?

Ye Yan hadn't expected her to ask so proactively, and he held his breath: "Is it okay?"

Qin Su shook her head.

Ye Yan thought she meant rejection and felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, but then he heard Qin Su ask, "Didn't the production team tell you the rules of the variety show when you came?"

Ye Yan asked blankly, "What rules?"

Qin Su: "Guests can't confess their feelings directly during the recording of a variety show. You've already violated the rules."

Ye Yan was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

So Qin Su wasn't rejecting him, right?

A surge of joy welled up inside him, and in an instant, he was transported from hell back to heaven.

"Then I..." he said, somewhat at a loss.

Qin Su smiled slightly: "So, if you have anything to say, let's wait until the recording is over."
