Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Ex-boyfriend is here

Lou Su's room.

The phone vibrated. It was Lin Dayong calling. Lou Su raised his eyebrows.

He walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

However, the sound of the rushing water could not cover up Lin Dayong's excited voice.

"It seems you still care about your acting career. When you rejected the 'love' scenario we set up, I thought you were unwilling to do it, but I didn't expect you to have already thought of how to act it. The routines we came up with are indeed a bit old-fashioned, worthy of you. But you and Xia——"

What do you mean by thought of it? Lin Dayong is talking a bunch of nonsense.

Lou Su interrupted Lin Dayong's chattering coldly, "Get to the point."

Lin Dayong choked for a moment before continuing, "Just keep doing this. Xia Nuan and you really have a CP feeling. You two really do look like a couple after a quarrel. Otherwise, our water army wouldn't have ended so smoothly—"

Lin Dayong chattered away, "Huh? Why isn't Lou Su talking? Wait, when did this guy hang up?"

The program's loud speaker began to announce: "Good afternoon, everyone. We will have two new friends as our guests this afternoon. We will spend a relaxing and enjoyable week together! Now we need everyone to discuss a plan and prepare a hearty and delicious dinner for our new friends."

Xia Nuan was still immersed in her complicated thoughts. There were a lot of questions circling in her mind, but no one could answer her.

There will be four guest appearances on "Rural Cottage." Since Plot Point 3 is to be completed within seven days, Ye Li should be the first guest. So, are the two protagonists of the novel finally meeting today? So, she will also meet Ye Li this afternoon.

Xia Nuan bit her lower lip, her eyes trembling slightly. After a few seconds, her eyelashes fluttered gently, and she took a deep breath. She clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly, willing to remain single for the rest of her life in exchange for Ye Li and Lou Su falling in love at first sight and spending their lives together happily.

In the living room, Qin Lin and Lou Su were sitting on opposite corners of the sofa.

"Xia Nuan hasn't come out yet?" Qin Linzheng lowered his brows.

She wouldn't be hit really hard, Lou Su thought of Xia Nuan's eyes that turned red just now, and frowned slightly.

"Xia Nuan accidentally hurt her back this morning. She might have fallen asleep. I'll go call her."

[We've only been seeing each other for a few days, and you're already hooking up?!]

Lin Dayong also took some time out of his busy schedule to post a few comments to confuse the audience.

[This is really Lou Su!!! If it was any other male celebrity in the industry saying this, I wouldn't think it was a big deal, but this is Lou Su. Thinking back on last night and this morning, it shocked me for the whole year.]

[Maybe these two have known each other for a long time. Tsk tsk tsk, I really don’t know what’s wrong with all those fans’ eyes. Lou Su is too obvious.]

Lou Su didn't know why he said that just now. It was definitely because he was influenced by Lin Dayong. Otherwise, how could he subconsciously say those words -

Qin Linzheng picked up his thermos cup and took a sip, then glanced at Lou Su inconspicuously. What a young man nowadays.

Lou Su walked to the door and stretched out his hand. He held it there for a moment before knocking. "Xia Nuan, are you asleep?"

Xia Nuan put on her slippers and walked quickly to the door. It sounded like Lou Su?

"What do you want from me?"

His eyes fell on the tips of her hair, her ears, her——

It's really crazy.

Lou Su coughed lightly to cover up his mistake. "Two guests are coming this afternoon. The program team just announced it over the radio. We need to discuss it."

Xia Nuan blinked. She seemed to have vaguely heard what the loudspeaker said just now, but she didn't pay much attention to it later. Oh no, she wouldn't let the two of them wait for too long.

She quickly apologized to both of them.

But Teacher Qin actually asked her if she was feeling better and if the collision was serious. But Teacher Qin was clearly not in the yard at that time, so it couldn't be that. Xia Nuan secretly glanced at Lou Su.

But, should they prepare a feast for their guests? Xia Nuan thought of the eggs and tomatoes in the kitchen. No matter how delicious they were, they couldn't be considered a feast. Although there was a small town nearby, they had no money and couldn't buy anything.

Qin Linzheng patted the small tackle box beside him. "I didn't expect this thing to come in handy so soon. I just asked the production team, and those two people will arrive around 5 or 6 pm. They should still be in time. You two can just make do with lunch. I'm going out fishing."

"Teacher Qin, aren't you going to have lunch?"

Qin Linzheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. I won't starve."

[Old Qin is really considerate, actively giving the two of them some space to be alone, hehe]

[Another idiot in front. Qin Lin is the only one who would do this. Don’t you think about his status?]

I was wondering why Mr. Qin has been getting darker over the years. Is it because he's fallen in love with fishing?

[But who will be the guest this afternoon? We still don’t know. If other variety shows did this, they would definitely fail.]

[I heard that one of them is a boss from outside the industry who promotes agricultural products, and the other is a female artist from within the industry.]

[It's not nice to say this, but the way I hear it, I feel like that boss looks like...]

Teacher Qin can’t be the only one working, right? Xia Nuan suddenly remembered that she saw many loquat trees on the road when she was running today.

"Xia Nuan, come with me. There is a vegetable garden behind this yard." Lou Su had taken out two baskets at some point and handed one to Xia Nuan.

"Vegetable garden? Where is it?" Xia Nuan followed Lou Su, feeling puzzled. When she ran around the neighborhood this morning, she didn't see any vegetable gardens.

After walking about half a mile, they finally saw a vegetable garden surrounded by a fence, where various seasonal vegetables were planted.

So this is it. Xia Nuan glanced at the car not far away. It seemed that no one was inside, but she was sure it was the same car she saw this morning. At that time, she didn't continue running forward, but took a detour back. Unexpectedly, there was a vegetable garden behind the car.

The two men picked some vegetables and returned with the baskets.

"There are quite a lot of loquat trees around here. I think some are ripe. We can go pick some later. By the way, thank you for helping me out in front of Teacher Qin just now."

Lou Su frowned and clicked his tongue. What is there to thank me for? You just say thank you all day long. Don’t you have any other words to say besides thank you?

Why didn't he speak? Xia Nuan's voice was a little louder than before, and she repeated: "Teacher Lou? Lou Su? Do you want to go pick loquats with me?"

"Let's go together and walk faster."

I have no idea what has upset him again. Men's hearts are like the sea, changing at any moment. He seemed to be in a good mood just now.

Xia Nuan shrugged. Since he had helped her out in front of Teacher Qin, she was not angry this time.

Qin Linzheng was gone for three or four hours and finally came back around three o'clock in the afternoon.

It was the first time that I saw Teacher Qin smile so brightly. It seemed that he had a good harvest. Xia Nuan quietly looked at the bucket in his hand, wondering how many fish were in it.

[I can already imagine Lou Su and Xia Nuan’s expressions after this, hahahaha]

If I hadn’t stared at Lao Qin for three or four hours, I would have been fooled by him.

Empty? ! ! ! !

Qin Lin was putting his gear down on the ground and laughed, "Bad luck today! The fish all slipped away from me."

In the studio of the program team, the director held his forehead and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Teacher Qin was so lucky. No one knew better than him how many fish there were in the lake.

Should he send them some food? The director thought, his variety show is all about authenticity. It's not like they won't have food to eat, so they won't starve anyway. Besides, the variety show would definitely be a hit. He'd already figured out how to edit it.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun was already setting halfway up the mountain.

On a forest path not far away, the camera moves from far to near, and two blurry figures gradually become clear, a man and a woman, with pretty faces.

"Hello, I'm Fang Danyi."

"Ye Li."

[A guest star is here? That woman looks familiar. Oh, she's the lead actress in that idol drama that's been going viral lately, and she seems to be from Lang Feng. But who's that guy?]

[Fuck, fuck, don’t tell me which agricultural boss this incredibly handsome guy is from]

[I misunderstood the previous one. He's not in agriculture, he's helping with agricultural products. Look at his aura, he looks like a CEO, how could he be a local boss?]

[He's a complete ascetic. If he wears glasses, he'll be a complete scoundrel.]

[JM, look at his chest, he has glasses hanging on it]

[Could it be that the person who broke the news made a mistake, and this really isn't a male artist?]

[This guy is so damn handsome, with a nice waist, nice legs, and a face like this, it would be a shame if he didn’t enter the entertainment industry.]

[One second, please quickly upload all the information about the male guest. I want to light up for him.]

[Hahaha, sisters, wake up, this is a slow-paced lifestyle show, not a dating show]

Fang Danyi smiled at Lou Su, who came to pick them up, with a smile that was familiar and intimate, "Lou Su, long time no see!"

Lou Su nodded and said, "Welcome to our visit."

"Hello, I'm Fang Danyi, and I work in the same company as Lou Su."

"Hello, I'm Xia Nuan, welcome here." Xia Nuan smiled at Fang Danyi. Why did she feel that this girl was obviously hostile to her? Could it be that she liked Lou Su?

Ye Li traced the outline of Xia Nuan's cheek, his eyes flickering slightly. She was wearing different clothes than in the morning. "Okay——"

Almost the moment Ye Li opened his mouth, Xia Nuan knew what he was going to say. She raised her voice to suppress Ye Li's next words, "It's a nice place. You think the scenery here is nice too, right?"

Xia Nuan glared at him implicitly and said, "Shut up now."

Ye Li's smile became more obvious. He lowered his eyes and extended his hand to Xia Nuan, "Yes, the scenery here is beautiful. Hello, I'm Ye Li."

Xia Nuan felt like she was about to bite off her back teeth. She reluctantly extended her hand, but her face was still enthusiastic. "Hello, welcome to our house!"

The pair of large, bony hands wrapped around hers, and unexpectedly, they squeezed for a moment before releasing hers. Amidst this undercurrent, no one else noticed anything amiss except the two of them.

Ye Li pursed his lips lightly, and he put on the glasses on his chest to hide the gloom in his eyes.

[Mama, ahhh, he looks so handsome even with glasses]

Fang Danyi followed Lou Su, looking at him and talking to him with a smile on her face.

Lou Su was getting a little impatient. Why was Fang Danyi so noisy? And the look in the man's eyes behind him was really annoying. Lou Su took a few steps unintentionally, but just blocked Xia Nuan.

Ye Li's eyes were gloomy for a moment, and it was unknown what he was thinking about, but the gloom in his eyes soon dissipated.
