Not long after finishing his meal, Shen Shiqing took Shixia out for exercise.
Take a walk in the moonlight and gentle breeze.
The shadows intertwined.
In front of the guesthouse is a small bridge and a stream, with puddles of water on the uneven bluestone slabs, and bamboo planted around the walls, swaying in the breeze.
The moonlight poured down, casting bamboo shadows that swayed on the puddles.
This imagery reminded Shen Shiqing of that poem.
"The algae and water plants in the water are intertwined, which are actually the shadows of bamboo and cypress trees."
Shen Shiqing smiled, and Shi Xia took her arm, asking, "What are you thinking about, Sister Shi?"
"We are thinking about it, but few are as idle as the two of us."
"That's true, I'm so happy when I'm with Sister Shi."
"Is your foot really healed?" Shen Shiqing asked.
"Alright, alright, I can almost walk like the wind now." Hearing Shi Xia's tone, Shen Shiqing felt relieved.
Wow, even though the lighting isn't great, the atmosphere is amazing!
Let's just say our two-hour agreement is real!
[Waaaah, it's nine o'clock, Mom's telling me to go to bed. See you tomorrow!]
The two walked around the guesthouse a few times, and after digesting their food, they were ready to head back.
Shen Shiqing suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to turn off the gas in the kitchen.
Light was coming from the kitchen; I wondered who had forgotten to turn it off.
Shen Shiqing approached and saw Xia Chun acting suspiciously in the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Shen Shiqing found it strange.
With a crash, the bowl fell to the ground, startling Xia Chun.
"I... I was just thirsty, so I came down to get some water." Xia Chun's expression calmed down.
"Oh, I see. Then remember to wipe up the fish soup that's spilled on the floor. Goodnight."
Shen Shiqing smiled at Xia Chun, then turned and left.
Xia Chun was left standing there, stamping her feet in frustration.
[Hahahaha, Xia Chun, did you forget that there's a camera installed in the kitchen too? Hahahaha]
[Xia Chun, now you know you were wrong, right? You complained when I offered you the drink.]
[Laughing so hard they've struck it rich, Xia Chun doesn't even have the last drop of soup left.]
[What were you being so arrogant about before? You wouldn't drink it no matter what, are you hungry now?]
Hahaha, I inexplicably feel sorry for her yet find her hilarious at the same time.
As soon as Shen Shiqing went upstairs, he could feel the presence of cameras everywhere.
Passing by the next room, I noticed the lights were already off.
It was quite rare; someone actually went to bed earlier than her. Shen Shiqing was somewhat surprised.
When I got back to my room, I was surprised to find that there were security cameras in the room! But of course, there weren't any in the bathroom.
But the live stream audience must be almost gone by now, right? It's almost 10 o'clock.
It's about time to rest.
Shen Shiqing leaned closer to the camera, said goodnight, and covered himself with his clothes as usual, and the job was done.
[Hmm, it's been covered up by Shen Shiqing again.]
[Sigh, the last time Shen Shiqing treated us like this was...]
You know what, you really have to admit, Sister Shi really always catches me off guard.
Although my sister threw clothes at me, she did say goodnight to me.
[Waaaaah, Shi-jie's face is so beautiful, I really love it.]
...
After covering the camera, Shen Shiqing washed up and went to bed.
After all, going to bed early and waking up early is good for your health, and you'll have a healthy and worry-free life every day.
Shen Shiqing woke up at exactly six o'clock the next day, having slept for exactly eight hours.
Stretching, Shen Shiqing brushed his teeth and washed his face, then lifted the clothes covering the camera to greet everyone.
"Hi everyone, I'm up." But Shen Shiqing thought that probably no one was watching the live stream at this time.
Although the cameras have been running for the past two days and the live stream has been ongoing.
However, not many people will likely get up early to watch such a live stream.
And with so many haters, they're probably all here to hurl insults at her, the kind that go on and on until dawn, right?
Haters always care more about their idols than fans do.
Who understands?
Even though it was only 6 a.m., there were already people waiting in the live stream room.
Although there were only a few hundred people, it wasn't nonexistent.
[Oh, Shen Shiqing actually got up? She actually managed to get up? I remember their phones were confiscated, right? And they didn't set alarms or anything.]
[You're already up, and she's not? How can she face you like that?]
[That's right, Shi Jie and I are truly in a two-way street; she loves me so much.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, watch out, Shen Shiqing might come and kill you after the show.]
Shen Shiqing pushed open the door and was greeted by a vibrant scene.
Shen Shiqing picked up the watering can next to him and started watering the flowers, since there was still plenty of time.
After watering the flowers, Shen Shiqing went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
There was nothing in the refrigerator except for some scallions, ginger, garlic, and the fish I caught yesterday.
How about making some fish porridge? We can't just let them eat plain porridge. Once Shen Shiqing made up her mind, she got to work.
Shen Shiqing took out two fish, and said that the other one should be saved to make soup in the afternoon.
After removing all the fish bones, Shen Shiqing put the rice and fish into the pot and then walked out of the kitchen.
She needs to practice first.
So she practiced Baduanjin in the courtyard.
Although there was no music playing, the soothing music of the Eight Pieces of Brocade was still playing in my head.
In the control room, the reckless director couldn't resist practicing the Eight Pieces of Brocade after seeing Shen Shiqing perform it so skillfully.
He was overjoyed.
I've finally found a young person who shares my interests!
It seems we need to communicate more in the future; maybe we can even exercise together sometime.
Yes, it might be hard to believe, but the director who's willing to risk his life is actually quite young.
She's a director who's barely in her early thirties but has already fallen in love with health and wellness.
It was nearly seven o'clock, and the number of people in the live stream room had increased slightly.
[Huh? The first thing I saw when I walked in was a female celebrity practicing martial arts so early in the morning?]
[What kind of exercise is this? This is the Eight Pieces of Brocade.]
【Seriously, Sister Shi, how did you know I was going to have a test on Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) in my online PE class today?】
To be honest, Shen Shiqing's Eight Pieces of Brocade is just too perfect! I learned it in college, but I wasn't nearly as good.
If my PE teacher looked like this, would I not study hard?
Painful memories surged forth, each move vividly etched in my mind—lifting the sky with both hands to regulate the three burners, drawing the bow left and right like shooting an eagle, raising one arm to regulate the spleen and stomach, looking backward to relieve the five strains and seven injuries, shaking the head and wagging the tail to clear heart fire, grasping the feet with both hands to strengthen the kidneys and waist, clenching fists and glaring to increase strength, and seven back bounces to cure a hundred diseases.
...
After practicing the whole set, Shen Shiqing felt relaxed and refreshed.
Habitually fiddling with her hair, Shen Shiqing grabbed some loose strands and tied them up.
She was completely unaware that someone was watching her.
On the wooden railing on the second floor.
Someone looked at her, a smile in their eyes.
Just because Shen Shiqing didn't see it doesn't mean no one else noticed.
After all, this is a place where cameras are everywhere, shooting from multiple angles and directions.
[Oh my god, I was eating a traditional Chinese dish when my mom hit me with her chopsticks!]
[OMG, they're so beautiful and well-matched! Nobody understands the joy of a die-hard fan of celebrity couples.]
This scene inexplicably reminds me of that poem—"You stand on the bridge admiring the scenery, while someone else admires you from a building." Although Sister Shi wasn't admiring the scenery, the Best Actor certainly was!
The morning sunlight fell on Sister Shi's hair. Upstairs, Actor Lu, completely absorbed, reflected Sister Shi's image in his pure and innocent eyes. Her eyes were smiling gently, like water. My god, these two are radiant!
[Director, please hand me the script quickly! This fangirl wants to see them in a drama this year!]
【agree! 】
[Add one, add one]
【add……】
A fragrant aroma wafted from the kitchen. Shen Shiqing thought the porridge would be ready soon, so she turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Lu Jingchu upstairs regained his indifferent expression.
Sure enough, he could only hear what Shen Shiqing was thinking when she was thinking about him.
At this moment, the other six people have also woken up and appeared in front of the camera to greet the audience.
[Waaaaah, today is another day of being bombarded by Ranran's beauty!]
Seeing this face instantly dispelled my fatigue from waking up early!
To be fair, Xia Chun looked pretty today, but there was something sickly about her beauty.
Um, is it possible that he's hungry?
Just as I expected, Xing Jianan is still that handsome guy with a cold face.
[Waaaaah, I really want to see what it's like for a handsome guy to be love-struck. I don't know for sure, but it must be really exciting!?]
[Qin Shiyue is as adorable as ever, a perfect blend of sunshine and coolness.]
Baby, Mommy loves you, you're so cute!
No, I can't help but think of my sister-in-law whenever I see Actor Du.
[Waaaaah, I suddenly really want to be in a relationship! Anyone willing to give themselves to me for free, I'll take care of you!]
...
In the kitchen, Shen Shiqing brought the fish porridge to the table and then began to ladle out more porridge to cool it down. He had only ladled out three bowls when a group of people came downstairs. Shen Shiqing then gave up on the idea of ladling out more porridge.
Everyone's here, let them serve themselves!
