Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Gourd Seed She is really too smart...
You Zhi paused for a few seconds, then nodded, "It's gourd seeds."
Not only Zhong Zining, but even He Shengnian who was listening to them talking was stunned.
No one expected that Xu Qinghu's gift would be a bag of seeds.
Something that looks cheap but is actually very special.
Seeing You Zhi taking it so seriously, Zhong Zining felt a strange feeling in her heart that she herself hadn't even noticed.
Xu Qinghu says her nickname is Hulu, but then she gives You Zhi gourd seeds. Does she have feelings for You Zhi? Or does she give seeds to anyone who guesses her school?
It's not the gift that's wonderful, it's the gift she gives that needs to be nurtured and cared for. It takes work, and once you start, you can't stop.
Would You Zhi let a gourd wither? Of course not.
If he didn't like the gift or didn't want to plant it, he could have just put it aside, but he didn't. He even bought a beautiful flowerpot and nutrient soil, intending to grow it.
The premise of this is simply because Xu Qinghu gave him a seed.
While Zhong Zining felt complicated, she also had to admire the new guest's scheming. Even if she had not gone out on a date with You Zhi, she had already left a deep impression in his heart.
Whenever he sees the planted gourds, he will think of Xu Qinghu, right?
Every time he thought of her, he would pay more and more attention to her, didn't he?
She didn't even need to date him alone to easily win his favor.
Zhong Zining had never experienced such complicated psychological changes when she met Qiao Wanshu, who had an extremely superior family background and appearance. She had already felt a strong sense of vigilance in her heart before she even really understood Xu Qinghu.
Facing the camera, Zhong Zining quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Now is not the best time to plant gourds. Aren't you afraid that they won't bear fruit in the end?"
"I looked up information," You Zhi said, placing the flowerpot in a well-lit area. "You can plant it now, but the harvest will take a while. Once it grows true leaves, I'll move it to a larger pot."
"I didn't expect her to give such a special gift," Zhong Zining sighed, "I hope it can take root and sprout soon."
You Zhi didn't respond, but said, "I'll go upstairs and change into my home clothes first."
"Okay," Zhong Zining said casually, "Come over and help me later. Teacher Gu has a date today and can't be my partner."
You Zhi paused, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Zhong Zining was surprised and said, "Don't you know yet? New guests have the privilege of an extra date. Teacher Gu was asked out by Xu Qinghu."
She stared at You Zhi closely, trying to see from his eyes what he was thinking. After all, he took Xu Qinghu's gift so seriously, and Xu Qinghu did not invite him, so he must feel uncomfortable.
Unexpectedly, You Zhi was stunned for only a few seconds before saying, "Okay, I'll come down after I change my clothes."
After saying this, he did not linger in the garden, but turned and went into the cottage.
My old swan, Xu Qinghu's gift is seeds. This is so unexpected.
[You Zhi was immediately taken advantage of. Xu Qinghu is truly a talent.]
[I've always said Xu is a green tea. She clearly has feelings for Teacher Gu, and yet she even gave gourd seeds to You Zhi. It's obvious she has ulterior motives.]
[The production team is really confused. They shouldn't let someone like Xu be a catfish. It's so disgusting.]
[Although, don't you think You Zhi and her have a CP feeling? I heard she went out on a date, but I didn't get angry about it.]
[+1, I suddenly feel You Zhi's charm. He really is like a cute little white rabbit. Love him.]
Zhong Zining stood there, looking at You Zhi's back without turning back, thinking that no matter how calm he was, he would still feel disappointed.
Xu Qinghu is very powerful, but the people in the cabin are not fools either.
You Zhi is young and easily develops a liking for her, so she took advantage of You Zhi's character. She would not let Xu Qinghu make a mess in the cottage!
Thinking of this, Zhong Zining returned to the kitchen humming a song.
"Let's start cooking," He Shengnian said calmly without asking what she and You Zhi had talked about. "Are you cooking or am I?"
"Let me do it," Zhong Zining walked forward, placed the clean pot on the stove, and said with a smile: "I am the chef today, how can I let you take my job."
He Shengnian nodded, "Then I'll chop the remaining side dishes."
Zhong Zining smiled, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
She turned on the stove and casually asked, "Guess what gift Xu Qinghu gave Xiao You?"
He Shengnian remembered the scene he had seen from the kitchen and followed her lead, asking, "Seeds?"
"Yes," Zhong Zining poured oil into the pot and said mysteriously, "But you will never guess what kind of plant seeds she gave you."
He Shengnian actually heard the two people talking, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to ask: "What plant?"
"A bag of gourd seeds," Zhong Zining turned around and looked at him, "Not only can they be planted, but gourds can also be grown into handicrafts. Isn't that great?"
Although she was praising Xu Qinghu and thought her gift was very thoughtful, she was actually hinting to He Shengnian that Xu Qinghu was thoughtful and gave something suggestive when she first gave it to him.
She has a good impression of He Shengnian. Although she knows that He Shengnian is more mature and stable than You Zhi and will not be easily attracted by Xu Qinghu, she still doesn't want him to have a good impression of Xu Qinghu.
After all, she was too threatening.
Although men are realistic, they are also visual animals.
Zhong Zining wanted to block any possibility between He Shengnian and Xu Qinghu from the very beginning.
Who made Xu Qinghu so restless? If he had a crush on You Zhi, why would he date Gu Jingchen?
"Really?" He Shengnian replied, "Then this gift is very memorable."
From his answer alone, one couldn't tell his true thoughts, but Zhong Zining knew that he had his own standards in mind.
She didn't continue the topic, but talked to He Shengnian about her daytime work.
She is the owner of two restaurants. In addition to finding a partner, she also wants to attract traffic to her restaurants, develop them into a chain brand, and then establish her own e-commerce company by participating in the show.
He Shengnian chatted with her for a while before You Zhi came to the kitchen to help cook rice and squeeze juice.
[Emm, I feel like Zhong Zining's words are weird, a bit like she's trying to please you.]
[The above person is right. Zhong has a crush on He Shengnian and is afraid that He Shengnian will notice Xu Qinghu, so she wants to publicly praise her and secretly criticize her to smear her image!]
[How is this any different from the terrible coworkers I encounter at work? They're clearly picking fights, but I can't find any fault with them. It's so annoying.]
[No, why would Zhong Zining care about Xu Qinghu? Xu Qinghu and Gu Jingchen are dating just fine. She's being too paranoid. Besides, He Shengnian doesn't have a good impression of her and doesn't understand her.]
[You guys are suffering from paranoia, right? Zhong Zining was just chatting casually, and you're making conspiracy theories about her. I advise you not to be so sensitive!]
[Do keyboard warriors these days have nothing better to do? Just looking at Zhong Zining's attitude towards Qiao Wanshu, you can tell she's incredibly kind and not someone who's out to sow discord.]
[Sure enough, nothing good ever comes of it when it comes to Xu Qinghu.]
After dinner, it was already late, so Xu Qinghu and Gu Jingchen boarded the East Lake sightseeing bus and returned the same way they had come.
"My car is parked right at the door," Gu Jingchen explained, "and you can see it when the sightseeing bus arrives."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu leaned back in his chair, a look of slight fatigue on his face.
"Are you tired?" Gu Jingchen looked at her profile and could clearly see her closed eyelashes, which were extremely curled.
"A little bit," Xu Qinghu said lazily, "Tell me to get off when we get to the station."
"Okay." Gu Jingchen looked at her for a moment before quietly looking away.
[What's with that being a little sweet? I want to try it.]
[I think Teacher Gu has a crush on Xu Qinghu. What do you think?]
[I don’t dare to say it, for fear that some crazy fans would think I’m being presumptuous.]
[Forget it, Gu Jingchen should just lock himself up with Qiao Wanshu.]
After arriving at the station, Gu Jingchen lowered his eyes and called Xu Qinghu a few times. She opened her eyes and looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, I haven't ridden for a long time, so I'm a little tired."
"It's okay," Gu Jingchen took the initiative to help her with her bag, "You can continue to sleep after getting in the car."
"Really?" Xu Qinghu followed him, "Don't you think I'm rude?"
"How could that be?" Gu Jingchen laughed, "I also want to thank you for inviting me out. Not only did I see so many beautiful sights, but I also had a delicious dinner."
Xu Qinghu raised his eyes slightly and said, "Then I'll ask you out next time."
"OK."
After saying this, both of them fell silent, as if they were looking forward to their next date.
Gu Jingchen quickly smiled and said, "If there is a chance."
Xu Qinghu nodded and changed the subject: "Go back quickly, or I'm going to fall asleep again."
Gu Jingchen helped her open the passenger door and said, "Get in first."
As soon as Xu Qinghu sat in, the comments started cursing, saying that the passenger seat was reserved for Qiao Wanshu and Xu Qinghu was unworthy. Many people cursed them back, and the comment section was filled with chaos.
Soon, the car stopped at the door of the cabin. At this time, except for Qiao Wanshu and Qi Song, everyone else had returned.
The two walked into the living room. Everyone was having dinner and looked over when they heard the door open.
"You're back?" Zhong Zining saw Gu Jingchen's eyes flashing and was the first to greet him, "Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten," Gu Jingchen said as he walked over, "I'm sorry I didn't cook with you today. What did you cook?"
"Some home-cooked dishes. Luckily, Mr. He and Xiao You helped me, otherwise I would be busy to death." At this point, Zhong Zining glared at him, "You wash the dishes later."
Gu Jingchen said yes repeatedly, then he noticed Qiao Wanshu was not at the dinner table, "Where's Qiao Qiao?"
"What do you think?" Zhong Zining looked at him with schadenfreude.
Gu Jingchen quickly realized, "She went out with Qi Song?"
"Only you are allowed to have a date," Zhong Zining looked around him and looked at Xu Qinghu, saying slowly: "Qiao Qiao also has a date and hasn't come back yet."
Xu Qinghu noticed the change in her gaze, but didn't care.
Zhong Zining’s character in the novel is Qiao Wanshu’s good friend and follower. No matter what Qiao Wanshu does, she will cater to and support him, so it is normal for her to be hostile to him.
