Chapter 36 Romance to the Death: You are the burning starry sky, the ideal on earth
"What's wrong, Sister Ying?" Sweet Bean, who was standing next to her, noticed the commotion and asked with concern.
The attention of others was also drawn to it.
Song Ying quickly replied, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just got splashed by a spark from the charcoal."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruoyu rolled her eyes.
"Pretentious."
Song Ying ignored her and looked at Qin Shu, lowering her voice, "What was Grandpa thinking? Is he burning money? Why invest so much in this little variety show?"
That's not fair!
It's not that Song Ying is stingy, but rather that "Love Detective Journey" isn't a hit among current variety shows; it has remained lukewarm in popularity.
Otherwise, they wouldn't resort to various gimmicks to attract the audience's attention.
Take, for example, those two outrageous punishment tasks today.
While other variety shows focus on creating content, this little show relies on sensationalism and melodrama, similar to the clickbait tactics of many self-media platforms.
Normally, Song Ying would definitely not watch these kinds of variety shows.
It just so happened that she was in a break period and needed an opportunity to clear her name as a mistress. Then, Shen Linzhou and Jiang Yueyao also participated in this variety show. By a series of coincidences, she resolutely accepted the role.
Ten million...
With that money, why not invest in the hottest dating reality show right now, "Princess's Date," instead of "Love Detective Journey"?
Song Ying couldn't help but rub her forehead.
not to mention.
"Shen Linzhou has cheated on his wife multiple times, Jiang Yueyao is laundering money and evading taxes, and Zhou Ruoyu isn't clean either. With these troublemakers involved, this variety show is doomed. Investing ten million is practically throwing money down the drain..."
"You don't know your grandfather. He invested money and provided the venue purely to have some fun and hopefully have a grandson. He just didn't do his research before throwing money at it, which is why this happened." Qin Shu knew his old man all too well.
For the elderly, it doesn't matter how much money is spent; they just want to see their grandson and granddaughter-in-law being loving and affectionate.
Who would have thought that Zhou Ruoyu and Jiang Chen had been stirring up trouble all day, with a horde of online trolls. The old man was annoyed by this, so he did some research and ended up uncovering a whole host of other problems.
The little shrimp's antics were certainly not worth the old man's personal attention, so he handed the initiative over to Qin Shu.
While jogging in the evening, Qin Shu mentioned it to his wife again.
"But don't worry, it's not too late to know now." Qin Shu gave her a reassuring look. "Besides, I already have plans for this."
Under the light, Qin Shu flipped through the skewers in his hand, his beautiful fox-like eyes deep and mysterious.
Not long after.
"It's cooked, you can eat it now." A skewer of grilled shrimp was placed in Song Ying's hand, and the remaining skewers were taken away. Qin Shu's gaze was fixed on her. "You just need to eat well, sleep well, and prepare for the audition. Leave the rest to me."
Holding the skewer, and looking at his calm and composed demeanor, Song Ying finally nodded.
Take a bite of the shrimp meat.
Fresh and delicious, with a unique flavor.
My anxiety has subsided.
In all the time they've known each other, Qin Shu has never let her down.
This time, she believed it would be the same.
The meteor is expected to pass by around 11 p.m.
As the time approached, the internet was filled with anticipation, and the live chat was constantly flooded with comments related to the meteor shower.
[Finally, I'm going to see the legendary meteor shower! I'm so nervous!]
[Newbie here, no experience. Should I wish for instant wealth or extreme weight loss? Waiting for an answer online, it's urgent!]
[I wish God would grant me a hundred Qin Shus as husbands and a hundred Song Yings as wives!]
Stop daydreaming late at night!
The guests, too, were filled with eager anticipation, crowding together in pairs in front of the binoculars to wait.
In contrast, Qin Shu and Song Ying seemed less proactive, even giving their own binoculars to Tian Dou so that she and Da Meng could each have one.
The couple lay on the lawn, their arms behind their heads, chatting idly.
In fact, although Jiang Yueyao and Shen Linzhou seemed to have a sweet interaction, they actually harbored some ulterior motives.
Shen Linzhou would take out his phone to check the time every now and then.
When the camera panned away, Jiang Yueyao glanced at Qin Shu and Song Ying out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing their hands clasped together, her jealousy intensified.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Look! A shooting star!"
Everyone looked over and, sure enough, saw a bright light streak across the sky, trailing a long tail of light, disappearing in an instant.
"Make a wish! Make a wish now!"
At this moment, the staff noticed that only Qin Shu and Song Ying were still whispering to each other.
"Teacher Song, won't you and Mr. Qin make a wish?"
Suddenly being called upon, Song Ying looked towards the camera.
Her long, seaweed-like hair spread out, making her face appear even more radiant and jade-like. Her lips parted slightly, but the words that came out were a major eyesore.
Why place your hopes on dust and solid blocks?
Staff: "?"
Song Ying: "Meteors are streaks of light produced when meteoroids traveling in interstellar space approach Earth and are attracted by Earth's gravity, undergoing electron transitions as they pass through Earth's atmosphere at high speed. The substance of these meteoroids usually includes space matter such as cosmic dust and solid blocks."
Staff member: "So?"
"Reject superstition, believe in science, and start with me."
After saying that, Song Ying raised her right hand and clenched her fist to encourage herself.
Staff: "..."
Are you allergic to romance?
Undeterred, the staff member looked at Qin Shu again: "Where is Mr. Qin?"
Qin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, and after a moment, raised his hand, which was clasped with Song Ying's, and smiled.
"My unwavering galaxy burns brightly, and my ideals for humanity are right before my eyes. Why seek other illusions?"
Wow, that makes so much sense! Who says straight men can't say dirty jokes?!
[Waaaaah, does anyone remember yesterday's interview in the car where Shu-ge said that marrying Ying-jie is his ultimate dream since he grew up QAQ]
It's true, the winning/losing couple is real!
One second I was bombarded by Song Ying's iron-fisted statement, the next I was forced to eat dog food by Qin Shu. What did I do to deserve this humiliation?
Qin Shu has always presented a cold, domineering, and sharp-tongued image to the public, appearing arrogant and unruly.
His attitude towards Jiang Yueyao and Zhou Ruoyu is enough to illustrate this point.
Except for one person.
[Shu-ge's puppy-like cuteness and gentle romance are all reserved for Ying-jie. I won't say who's jealous.]
It wasn't just netizens who were sour.
There is no harm without comparison.
Jiang Yueyao and Zhou Ruoyu, who were present, looked back at their boyfriends' reactions, and their initial excitement at seeing the shooting star quickly faded.
"It's just a fancy love quote, why are you making it sound like it's something special?"
Zhou Ruoyu rolled her eyes and complained.
Then he nudged Qiao Yu with his elbow and frantically hinted, "Qiao Yu, what did you just wish for?"
Qiao Yu was fiddling with his binoculars when he casually remarked, "Of course, it's getting rich quick."
"...?!"
Zhou Ruoyu's temper flared up again.
Even if that's what you think in your heart, can't you at least say something sweet instead?
Am I not worthy?
"Pfft—Teacher Qiao's wish is really quite practical."
Jiang Yueyao was not far from Zhou Ruoyu's group. Hearing Qiao Yu's words, she couldn't help but laugh, "Ruoyu, what did you wish for?"
Zhou Ruoyu didn't want to say another word.
Qiao Yu only thinks about getting rich quick. If he were to say something related to love, wouldn't it seem like he's throwing himself at someone?
But to say anything else would seem vulgar.
It's just so irritating.
After muttering for a while, Zhou Ruoyu casually made up a reason: "Wishes don't come true if you say them out loud."
Qiao Yu, who was standing next to him, paused and blurted out, "So, does that mean I'm not going to get rich overnight?"
[Hahaha, is Qiao Yu a devil? All he wants is to get rich quick!]
To be honest, me too.
[You're laughing so hard you're rich! The ultimate straight man, you'll be kneeling on a washboard when you get home!]
[Qiao Yu: If I become penniless, no Zhou Ruoyu will be innocent.]
Zhou Ruoyu was furious with Qiao Yu and was about to say something when someone reminded her.
"Quick! Another shooting star is coming!"
Qiao Yu quickly closed his eyes and made a wish.
Zhou Ruoyu gave a forced smile: "What's the promise this time?"
Qiao Yu learned his lesson: "I can't say it, or it won't work again."
Everyone: We understand.
Or get rich overnight.
