Chapter 48 The Little Drama Queen in the Romance Variety Show 21: Qiao and

Lin Qiao was writing upstairs. At first, she was focused and attentive, but then she gradually became distracted by the faint noises downstairs.

They spoke one after another, mostly in Shen Zhouzhou's voice.

"Hey, Lu Yi'ang, don't be so obviously biased. Why are you only peeling coconut meat for Yun Chiyi? I want some too."

"Why are you blushing? Are you even a man? I was just saying a few words to you. Are you getting angry or just shy?"

"Lu Yi'ang, don't look at me, I'm not talking about you."

One of the sentences was spoken by Yun Chiyi, her voice shy and smiling, clear and melodious like a silver bell.

"Gu Huai, who is this brown sugar and mung bean soup for? Can I drink it?"

"Oh, oh, oh, you put in so much brown sugar! This is for people who like sweets. You even added a few lily petals. You really put a lot of thought into it."

"Are you still going to make breakfast? It's almost ten o'clock."

Yu Kexin's voice of dissatisfaction immediately rose.

Upstairs, Lin Qiaoyu's patience was also nearing its breaking point.

They're so noisy.

After a few seconds, the corners of his mouth gradually curved into a smile. He pressed down on the paper with his strong fingertips, and as he pulled it back forcefully, the white paper tore. He was able to catch his breath and chuckled softly twice.

Unfortunately, no one witnessed those two laughs. In public, he maintained his aloof, cold, and unapproachable demeanor.

Yun Chiyi didn't see Lin Qiaoyu come downstairs for breakfast, lunch, or dinner today.

There were seven dishes and two bowls of soup on the table. After recovering from her cold, she had regained her strength and, for the first time ever, she made a pot of pork ribs stewed with carrots according to the recipe.

Shen Zhouzhou praised her highly: "So you're not stupid and don't know how to cook, you're just plain lazy."

Yun Chiyi gave a forced smile and glanced up at the upstairs.

Have you become an immortal?

I'm not hungry even without eating?

He's not lucky tonight if he doesn't get to eat her cooking.

Comforting herself with this thought, Yun Chiyi forcefully grabbed two pieces of high-quality pork ribs from the pot and threw them into her own bowl.

She didn't realize she was being stubborn with herself until she was clearing the dishes and found that she was feeling unwell from eating too much.

Everyone was drawing lots to see who would wash the dishes. Yun Chiyi drew the best lot and left, much to the envy of everyone.

As dusk fell, the sky above the beach blurred the dividing line. She wore her sun-protective clothing as an overcoat and walked back and forth along the coastline twice.

Her stomach was still bloated and uncomfortable, so she tried to climb up, heading towards the direction with the most stars.

The night was pitch black. Yun Chiyi relaxed her expression and stood by the roadside, breathing in the fresh air.

Without any photographers following her, she closed her eyes and enjoyed the tranquility of the moment.

After standing for a while, her stomach felt much better, and she felt sleepy, so she walked back.

A long shadow appeared on the road ahead, straight as a pine tree, walking very slowly.

Yun Chiyi didn't need to look closely to know that it was Lin Qiaoyu. She stood there waiting for him to come over, and then, as if playing a prank, she brushed past him without turning her head.

She had just taken a step when Lin Qiao grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled her back to him.

His eyes were deep and his face remained unchanged for ages.

Fortunately, he's good-looking, so even his cold expression can be considered a work of art.

Yun Chiyi asked, "You didn't come here specifically to find me, did you?"

Lin Qiao remained silent, but reached out and lifted her up, pulling her to sit on a nearby wooden post. His sudden movement startled Yun Chiyi, and in her panic, she kicked his trousers, leaving footprints.

He lowered his gaze.

She showed no remorse, staring at the mud stains, and kicked them playfully, saying, "Who told you to hug me all of a sudden?"

Lin Qiao raised her chin again to meet her gaze, her eyes surging with emotion.

Recalling the details of their conversation that night, Yun Chiyi teased him in a measured tone, "President Lin, why are you bothering with a minor celebrity like me when you have such a big business opportunity to discuss?"

"Are you trying to make things difficult for me by not letting me leave?"

Lin Qiao said in a lukewarm tone, "I've already told you, you're not allowed to call me that."

Yun Chiyi smiled and didn't take his words to heart: "At first I was a little surprised that President Lin was paying special attention to me. I thought you would also take a few more glances at me. You know, everyone says I'm pretty, so it's normal for me to be eye-catching."

She saw a smile in Lin Qiaoyu's eyes, but she still had to continue: "This time I slowly understand that you condescended to pay attention to me because Shen Zhouzhou is standing next to me. I don't doubt that you and she have any close relationship, but it makes me very sad when I think about it."

Her words were heartbreaking, but her face remained unmoved, as if she were reciting lines.

Lin Qiaoyu's voice was slightly lower: "Sad? I can't tell."

Under the moonlight, Yun Chiyi smiled enchantingly. She wrapped her fingers around Lin Qiaoyu's tie twice and held it in her palm, drawing his body closer.

"You haven't spoken to me since you came back. Why? Do you hate me?"

Lin Qiao reached out and grasped her wrist: "Let go."

Yun Chiyi said, "If you're so capable, then don't come looking for me."

She crumpled Lin Qiaoyu's tie and collar fiercely, still feeling unsatisfied. She was sick, and he had pretended to be aloof and ignored her for several days. She was so angry that she wanted to stomp on his feet, but she couldn't because she was sitting on a high place.

Lin Qiao let her play around and said, "You got along quite well with them."

Yun Chiyi chuckled after hearing this, pursed her lips, and shook her head: "That's a nonsensical statement. Lin Qiaoyu, this is a dating reality show, we're supposed to be in a relationship. I'm just doing my duty. Why are you being so sour? Are you jealous?"

"However... they are them, and you are you."

As she spoke, she moved closer silently, her soft lips brushing against Lin Qiao's.

"I've been wondering about that for a while now, what's that makes you smell so good?"

Lin Qiao looked directly at her, his face righteous and imposing.

Yun Chiyi almost pressed her moist lips to hers, then deliberately delayed, asking, "May I try some?"

Unexpectedly, the usually stern Lin Qiao smiled at this moment. His smile was quite different, like a dazzling light reflecting off ice.

Yun Chiyi was momentarily captivated by his appearance.

But Lin Qiao smiled!

Her eyes widened in surprise as Lin Qiaoyu's large hand reached around the back of her neck, forcing her to tilt her head back: "Want to try it? Open your mouth."

Yun Chiyi's ears turned red from his direct and simple two words. His thumb caressed her earlobe, and the sudden burning body temperature touched a certain hidden switch, making Yun Chiyi's cheeks turn red.

"Open your mouth." Lin Qiao's eyes darkened.

She gently opened her lips.

Their relationship was far from being at the point where they could kiss, but they managed to have a kiss that was even wetter than that of lovers.

Lin Qiao stood at a hand's length below her. Yun Chiyi kept her head down almost the entire time. Her body went limp and she slid into his arms.

His muscles weren't built for nothing; he could support her body with one hand while the other disappeared into the long hair at the back of her neck.

After a long while, Yun Chiyi looked up at the stars in the sky.

Wow, so many stars are already lit up!

Her fingertips trembled as she hooked her arms around Lin Qiaoyu's neck, her head bowed as she continued to pant heavily.

Lin Qiao lifted her wet chin and kissed her again.

Yun Chiyi pounded his chest: "Stop it, no more..."

He ignored her, and a secret joy welled up inside him as he thought of how composed she usually was, a stark contrast to her current helplessness.

Just now, wasn't it clearly her who was provoking us?

She held tightly to his collar, thinking to herself that she should never have provoked this madman.

Yun Chiyi's legs were so weak that she almost fell to the ground. Lin Qiao grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, then kissed her again.

"Forest……"

She murmured a single word after a long pause, then gave up on using harsh words and softly called out, "Qiao Yu..."

Yun Chiyi pushed him away with all her might, her lips red and luscious, and glared at him.

Lin Qiao wiped the water from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve: "Yun Chiyi, you are not allowed to let anyone else kiss you."

He paused, then added, "Holding hands and hugging are not allowed."

Yun Chiyi coughed lightly: "Mind your own business."

Lin Qiaoyu tried to carry her back, but she was much more awake and quickly grabbed him, saying, "Why are we going back now!"

Where is her dignity?!

Lin Qiao felt a bit of the anger that had been building up inside him dissipate, so he put her down, and the two of them sat together under the cold moonlight.

Feeling irritated by the lingering heat, I haphazardly plucked wild grasses and flowers from the roadside.

"These flowers are ugly."

Lin Qiao turned her head calmly and said, "Isn't it quite beautiful?"

She licked her lower lip: "Oh, then I must be unhappy, everything looks ugly to me."

Lin Qiaoyu: "Are you angry?"

Yun Chiyi retorted confidently, "Yes. Who told you to force a kiss on me? You're being unreasonable."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qiao's glasses flashed with a cold light, and a mocking glint appeared in his eyes: "Oh, if you don't open your mouth to greet me, I won't continue."

Yun Chiyi pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again and raised an eyebrow, her eyes were bright as she directly stated her request: "Kiss me."

Lin Qiao gently touched her face with his palm. Yun Chi's amber eyes were captivating. She used her hands to stop him from getting closer and said, "I won't let you kiss me."

He said calmly, "Go back."

Yun Chi was furious. What good is being good-looking, rich, and smart? Being clueless about romance is a huge flaw.

She angrily braced herself on the ground with her hands, bent her knees, and tried to stand up.

Just then, a long-absent mechanical sound suddenly rang out.

Lin Qiao's favorability rating has reached 75.

Yun Chiyi was stunned. He was quite tolerant; he could even fool himself.

She then noticed the teasing look in his eyes.

He grasped her hand, which was resting on the grass, and slowly clasped it in his palm, but his gaze was clear and cold.

Moist lips pressed against the crook of her neck, giving it a gentle bite. Before Yun Chiyi could react, she lowered her eyes in surprise, her hands instinctively removing Lin Qiaoyu's glasses and tossing them aside with a mischievous grin.

Yun Chiyi was strong-willed and competitive. She reached under his shirt and groped him a couple of times before quickly running away, not giving him a chance to find his glasses.

"I'm going back to sleep!"

She left Lin Qiaoyu there, took a few steps, then suddenly remembered, turned around and said, "Oh right, you really do smell very good, very delicious."

Lin Qiao's shadow intertwined with the shadows beneath his feet and the swaying tree shadows. He merely sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

However, she called his name when she was infatuated just now.

There is no surname, only a given name.

Perhaps she didn't even realize that her call was so natural, as light as a veil, enveloping both of their bodies.

Yun Chiyi may seem affectionate, but she is actually heartless. Her dashing figure shows that he is not an exception to her either.

She's quick-witted and eloquent; how could you take her sweet words seriously?

Lin Qiao didn't think much when he kissed her. A kiss is a kiss. The attraction between the sexes, the approach and exploration were all natural.

But what if she used that tone to call other people by their names?

Lin Qiaoyu remained standing in the same spot, the wind rustling the shadows of the trees, causing the area beneath his feet to distort.

He seems unable to accept it.

Meanwhile, Yun Chiyi returned to her room, washed her face and took a bath with warm water, and lay on the soft bed. A memory suddenly popped into her mind.

Did she... call out... the name... Qiao Yu...?

What about the scene where she addressed him as President Lin in such an aloof and mysterious way?
