Chapter 40 If you like it, I will buy it for you.
Cheng Luanxin returned to the room in a depressed mood, holding a ball python doll and dragging its long tail.
Song Qiuchi's words still echoed in my ears:
"If you feel uncomfortable being with me, you can terminate the contract at any time. I won't make things difficult for you."
What does this mean? To round it off, doesn't it mean that Song Qiuchi has had enough of her and is giving her a way out to pack up and leave?
What was her response? Something like, "Let me think about it."
If she had heard this two weeks ago, she would have agreed happily. Who would want to be a couple with Song Qiuchi? They are not fools who would seek trouble.
But now…
Cheng Luanxin felt that Song Qiuchi wasn't as annoying as she'd imagined. Although she was sensitive, picky, and moody, she had to admit that as a friend, she was very considerate and caring.
Yes, as a friend. Although she never admitted it, Cheng Luan had already considered her a friend in her heart.
But now, she said she could terminate the contract at any time.
How is this different from a friend breaking up with you?
The key point is that the proposal to break up the friendship was really inexplicable. Cheng Luanxin couldn't figure out what unforgivable evil she had done to cause Song Qiuchi to be so dissatisfied.
She felt that she had done her best for Song Qiuchi. She had always been afraid to go where Song Qiuchi wanted, so she even had to bite the bullet and do the temporary mark.
Thinking about it this way, snakes are not cold-blooded animals, Song Qiuchi is the one.
She poked the ball python doll's head viciously with her finger: "From today on, your name is Xiaochi, do you hear me?"
Xiaochi was still sticking out his tongue foolishly, and his big tail was moving.
Cheng Luanxin pouted: "You don't understand anything."
She lay on the bed in a daze, pulling Xiaochi's tongue intermittently, looking depressed.
Du Zhiruo was watering potted plants on the windowsill when she returned to the room and saw a large snake coiled on Cheng Luanxin's bed. She was shocked: "Oh, is that a python doll in your hand? It's so lifelike!"
Cheng Luanxin nodded and sat up from the bed: "Do you want to come over and touch it? It feels very similar to a real snake."
Du Zhiruo put down the spray bottle, sat on the edge of Cheng Luanxin's bed, and stroked the smooth back of the ball python doll. "It's really cool. Where did you buy it? It must be expensive, right?"
Cheng Luanxin said embarrassedly, "We went to Pet Coffee and the staff gave it to us. I guess they saw that we are celebrities and wanted us to help promote it and increase its popularity."
"You guys went to Pet Coffee. I've heard of that place." Du Zhiruo stared into Cheng Luanxin's eyes. "Didn't you have fun? Why do you seem a little down?"
"No, it's..." Cheng Luan scratched his head, feeling that he shouldn't tell Du Zhiruo about the conflict between him and Song Qiuchi, so he said vaguely, "Nothing, I'm just too tired."
Du Zhiruo seemed to be able to read her mind: "Are you having a quarrel with her?"
This "she" undoubtedly refers to Song Qiuchi.
Cheng Luanxin glanced at the camera cautiously and found that the green light was on, indicating that it was recording, so she said, "No, we get along well. I'm just a little tired."
Du Zhiruo nodded thoughtfully: "Well, then you should have a good rest."
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the official Weibo account of "Romance to You" announced the heart-beating value of this week's couples on time. The program has been recorded for two weeks, and each couple has a fancy couple name.
Chi Xin's popularity is still there, but the second place has gradually caught up, it is Liang Shengxia and Bian Ning's CP Summer Lemon.
Liang Shengxia and Su Ling's CP Shengxia Fengling ranked sixth, which shows that Su Ling's efforts were not favored by the audience.
Song Qiuchi couldn't help but glance at Su Ling. Su Ling looked gloomy and smiled at her awkwardly.
Continuing to read on, following closely behind is the CP of Du Zhiruo and Cheng Luanxin, which seems to be a sign of autumn.
In any case, this week's model couple is still Song Qiuchi and Cheng Luanxin.
Song Qiuchi took out his cell phone and sent a message to Cheng Luanxin:
"Have you checked Weibo? We'll still be the model couple tomorrow."
Cheng Luanxin replied immediately:
"See, our two heartbeat values rank first."
Song Qiuchi paused and sent a message:
"So, have you thought it through?"
Cheng Luan was upset:
"What will happen to the two of us if I say I want to terminate the contract?"
Song Qiuchi replied:
"I'll be in charge of communicating with the agency. You're free to date anyone you want. I won't stop you. As for the body swap, we can figure out another solution after the show ends."
Cheng Luan was disappointed. The reason why Song Qiuchi agreed to work with her was simply because she thought she was unreliable and was afraid that she would take advantage of her body and mess around in the program crew.
And now, she would rather go on a date with someone else than have anyone stare at her anymore.
How much Song Qiuchi must hate himself.
In this case, there was no reason for her to continue pestering Song Qiuchi. She replied angrily:
"Oh. Then after we finish recording the model couple's date tomorrow, let's just go with the flow."
Song Qiuchi stared at the words on the screen and finally replied with one word:
"good"
The next day, the program team gave time to discuss the content of the date.
According to the plan given by Yu Peiyin, the two have almost experienced all the activities they should experience, except for the music festival, beach camping, and shopping in home furnishing stores.
Now that I think about it, the two of them really didn't follow the script at all. According to the plan, the early activities were to cultivate feelings, and the last three dates were to complete mandatory tasks, namely confessing their love at the music festival, kissing while camping and watching the sunrise, and shopping at the home furnishing store was to prepare for living together in the future.
What's the point of cultivating feelings? The two of them simply checked in at the places they should go and played all the games they should have, but they didn't cultivate anything that they should have, and it even came to the point of parting ways.
Cheng Luanxin didn't know how to face Song Qiuchi, and she became timid: "So what are we going to experience today?"
Song Qiuchi thought for a moment and said, "During the day, let's go to the home furnishing store."
Cheng Luanxin felt that shopping in a home furnishing store was a bit awkward given their current relationship: "Isn't it a bit awkward to just browse without buying anything..."
Song Qiuchi glanced at her and said, "Buy it if you like it."
Cheng Luan muttered to herself, "I won't buy it. Even if I buy it, there's no place to put it. The small pond is already big enough."
Song Qiuchi frowned: "What Xiaochi?"
Cheng Luanxin quickly covered it up: "Nothing, nothing."
Song Qiuchi said calmly, "Cheer up. This is the last time. Let's part ways amicably in front of the other guests."
Cheng Luanxin became even less motivated and uttered "Oh" with a long drawl.
Everything is ready and the recording begins.
Cheng Luanxin cheered up and smiled as she greeted the camera: "Good morning, everyone! Today, Luanxin and I are planning to go shopping at Shuhe Home Furnishing Mall. If you have any products you're interested in, please call us and we'll help you buy them!"
Lin Zhiyun: "Are you really launching a purchasing service?"
He Ran: "Haha, it feels like I'm watching a livestream of a shopping agent."
Su Ling: "I have it, I have it! Will you really answer my call?"
The director prepared a stack of floor plans for the two of them. Song Qiuchi showed them to the camera: "This is the room we are going to renovate today. As you can see, the dimensions of each room are clearly marked. Today we are going to select suitable home furnishings, but we will only look at them, not buy them."
Duan Mengshu: "Why does it feel a bit like a real-life decoration game?"
Bian Ning: "Hahaha, I feel the same way!"
Liang Shengxia: "That's hilarious! If I take the floor plan to the seller, will he take it seriously?"
Cheng Luanxin leaned over and looked at the floor plan carefully: "To be honest, this apartment is quite good. It has natural light from all sides and a terrace. However, for such a large flat, we have to choose a lot of things."
Song Qiuchi glanced at her and said, "Let's go through each room one by one. Pick the living room first. Be careful and treat it as our future home."
Cheng Luanxin blushed: "Do you need to tell me that? I will definitely put my heart into it..."
The two arrived at Shuhe Home Furnishing Mall, a global chain of home furnishing malls. The home furnishings inside are of different schools and styles, and there is also a high-end restaurant inside, which is very suitable for young couples to hang out and enhance their relationship.
Cheng Luanxin had never had the opportunity to visit such a large-scale home furnishing mall before, and looked around curiously.
"Where do we want to go first?" Song Qiuchi asked.
Cheng Luanxin looked at the row of fully designed model rooms and said, "They have a whole set of designed rooms here. They are so beautiful..."
Song Qiuchi: "Then let's go see if there's a style you like."
The two strolled down the corridor, browsing through model living rooms of varying styles. Cheng Luanxin immediately fell in love with a brightly colored European retro-style living room. A dark green fabric sofa was topped with a fresh floral pillow. A bouquet, candles, and silver plates lay on a gorgeous tablecloth. The landscape paintings on the wall made it feel as if she had arrived in a classical European castle.
Obviously, this fancy decoration style is not Song Qiuchi's cup of tea.
Cheng Luanxin hesitated for a moment and continued walking forward.
Unexpectedly, Song Qiuchi held her back and said, "Don't you like it? If you like it, go in and take a look."
Cheng Luan was stunned: "Do you like it too?"
"I don't care. I'll listen to you today." Song Qiuchi said.
The warmth that had just welled up in Cheng Luan's heart suddenly dissipated. She said angrily, "I don't want it. We agreed to choose a new home for both of us. Why do you have to listen to me alone?"
Song Qiuchi still held her hand: "Go and have a look, if you like it... I like it too."
Su Ling: "Ahhhhh what kind of extreme pulling is this? It feels like a quarrelsome couple shopping together."
Zhuang Mingchu: "But the atmosphere between them today is indeed a bit strange."
He Ran: "It's okay, maybe I'm shy because we went shopping together at the furniture store?"
The salesperson approached enthusiastically, "Come in and take a look! Our model room has a European retro style, which is very popular among young people. Do you want it fully furnished? We can modify the interior design according to the specific room type."
Cheng Luanxin didn't know how to answer and looked at him inquiringly.
Song Qiuchi calmly took out the floor plan and said, "This is our floor plan. Our living room is 55 square meters. What do you think would be a suitable arrangement?"
The salesperson took one look at the floor plan and knew they were definitely not ordinary people. He became even more enthusiastic: "Your apartment is completely suitable according to our current design. The sofas can be placed on the north, south, and east sides. You can also build a fireplace on the wall in front to create a more atmospheric atmosphere..."
As the shopping guide spoke, Song Qiuchi wrote down the details on a piece of paper, as if he really wanted to buy the house.
After finishing the record, she pushed the floor plan in front of Cheng Luanxin: "What do you think?"
Of course Cheng Luanxin likes it, but what's the point of liking it? This is just a recording of the show, not a real purchase.
She looked at Song Qiuchi hesitantly: "This is a bit expensive, right?"
Song Qiuchi looked at her steadily: "If you like it, I will buy it for you."
