Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Wanting to throw the blame on the heroine’s loyal pursuit…
"Are you back?" He Shengnian stood up from the sofa when he heard the voice and his eyes fell on Qiao Wanshu.
"Well," Qiao Wanshu smiled at him, "Aren't you guys going upstairs to rest yet?"
"We just had dinner," Du Yanting took over the conversation. "How was your date today? Did you enjoy it?"
"It was quite fun," Qiao Wanshu said, "We had barbecue and went to the mountains to watch the stars."
Du Yanting curled his lips in an ambiguous way and sighed, "The program team is still good at arranging it."
[Emm, is Du Yanting jealous? Why is he speaking so sourly?]
[Am I the only one who thinks Qiao Wanshu is too popular? Except for You Zhi, every other man in the room has a crush on her.]
[This isn't a big deal. Qiao Wanshu is beautiful, well-educated, and comes from a wealthy family. Anyone with eyes wide open would choose her.]
[It would be great if I could wear Qiao Wanshu's clothes.]
[Qiao Wanshu is the focus of this season, and all subsequent developments will likely revolve around her. The other female guests will likely only serve as cannon fodder.]
"Of course I'm happy to go out on a date with you," Qi Song stared at Du Yanting with a forced smile, "It's useless even if you're envious."
Sensing the hostility in him, Du Yanting raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm just asking casually."
Qi Song snorted coldly. He didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by everyone. He lowered his head and said to Qiao Wanshu, "Aren't you tired? Go upstairs and rest first."
Qiao Wanshu nodded and said, "You should go to bed early too." Then he turned and walked upstairs.
Seeing this, the others also dispersed.
Not long after Xu Qinghu lay in bed, he heard a knock on the door.
She put on her coat and opened the door, only to be met with a slightly embarrassed face. "Have you gone to bed yet?"
You Zhi noticed her slightly messy hair, and a hint of nervousness appeared in his eyes. "Sorry, I disturbed you."
"It's okay," Xu Qinghu asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Well," You Zhi looked at her fair and clean face after removing her makeup, and said hesitantly: "I, I planted gourd seeds in a flowerpot today, so I wanted to tell you. If you want to see it, I can take you there."
Although he handed the choice to Xu Qinghu, his eyes still revealed an unconcealable expectation.
"I didn't expect you to actually plant them," Xu Qinghu said in surprise. "I thought you would just collect the seeds."
"I've looked up the information," You Zhi said softly, "Now is the time to plant, and I don't want to miss it."
"Okay," Xu Qinghu said, "Let's go and take a look together."
You Zhi shook his head and said, "It's too late today. We can go tomorrow."
"That won't do," Xu Qinghu winked at him, "I'm going to see it right now."
After saying that, she closed the door and looked like she was going downstairs with him.
Seeing this, You Zhi took her towards the garden.
At this time, there was no one in the living room, the garden was brightly lit, and flowers could be seen blooming.
Xu Qinghu and You Zhi walked to the fence, where he picked up a white flowerpot from the ground and explained, "I planted them in here."
You Zhi asked her to look into the pot. The surface of the soil was a little moist. It was the prepared culture soil that was used. It was not difficult to see his intentions.
“Once they have true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger pots.”
"That's great," Xu Qinghu smiled and raised his eyes. "When I return to the cabin, I'll probably come every day to check on its growth."
At this point, she changed the subject and said, "Thank you for taking care of me."
You Zhi's ears felt hot when he heard this, "No, it's not hard."
He put the flowerpot back against the fence and said, "Let's go back."
"Yeah." The two walked back along the way they came. Although they didn't communicate with each other, they seemed more familiar and close than before.
When they reached the stairs, You Zhicai asked, "Do you need help with cooking tomorrow? I get up very early every day."
The implication is clear.
After saying this, he drooped his eyelashes, as if he was in unbearable tension again.
Xu Qinghu looked at his trembling eyelashes and pursed lips, and the corners of his mouth curled up again, "Cooking is my job, and your job is to take good care of the plants in the pots."
You Zhi's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the faint smile on Xu Qinghu's face. His heartbeat seemed to be disordered. Just as he was about to say something else, Xu Qinghu said: "Go to bed early, good night."
You Zhi came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and said, "Good night."
Only after watching him turn and leave did Xu Qinghu return to the room.
"You're back?" Ruan Xiaoyu sat up from the bed and greeted her with a smile. "I just came back from Zi Ning and the others, but I didn't see you. It turns out you went out with Xiao You."
"Yeah." Xu Qinghu went into the bathroom and washed his hands. He didn't explain what happened between him and You Zhi. "Go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow."
"Okay," Ruan Xiaoyu said, although she was curious, she didn't ask any more questions. "I really hope I don't have to work overtime tomorrow."
The next day, Xu Qinghu woke up on time, saw the sky getting brighter outside the window, put on his slippers and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Not long after, she came downstairs to cook. There was no one in the living room at this time, only two photographers following her with cameras.
Xu Qinghu opened the refrigerator, took out the necessary ingredients, and cooked in an orderly manner in front of the camera.
[Xu Qinghu got up really early.]
[Looking at her movements, I think she must have cooked a lot in the past. She is very steady in everything she does.]
[Where's Qi Song? Did he forget he was supposed to make breakfast today?]
Xu Qinghu cooked porridge, boiled eggs and fresh corn, and blanched the chopped vegetables to make a salad. He was busy for more than half an hour, but Qi Song still hadn't come to the kitchen.
It was not until everyone else went downstairs and Xu Qinghu had finished his breakfast that Qi Song yawned and walked to the kitchen door. Seeing Xu Qinghu washing his hands, he suddenly remembered something.
"Are you ready?" He narrowed his eyes and stared at Xu Qinghu, clearly unhappy. "When did you get up? Why didn't you tell me?"
Xu Qinghu turned back to look at him, his eyes unchanged. "Didn't I arrange the cooking a long time ago? Do I need to remind you specifically?"
Qi Song obviously wanted to put the blame on her, so how could she let him have his way?
"There are so many people in the cabin who need to eat. Do I have to wait until you wake up before cooking?" She looked at Qi Song quietly, as if she was looking at a child who was making a fuss. "Besides, I just came to the cabin not long ago and have no idea which room you live in. How can I wake you up?"
Qi Song's face suddenly turned sour, and he glared at Xu Qinghu and said, "You can't blame me for this. At worst, I can cook for myself tonight."
"I don't like washing dishes," Xu Qinghu said, "You can wash the dishes later."
Qi Song felt a little better after hearing this. "What's so difficult about washing dishes? I can finish it in minutes."
"Well," Xu Qinghu wiped the water droplets off his hands with a tissue, "then you can take the dishes to the restaurant first."
Seeing that she was ordering him around with such confidence, Qi Song instinctively wanted to ask her on what grounds?
But when he thought about the fact that he had done nothing in the morning and slept for almost an extra hour, he endured it.
He lowered his head and brought the food prepared by Xu Qinghu to the dining table.
Qi Song forgot to cook, and he wanted to blame it on Xu Qinghu. What a talent.
[Even though Xu Qinghu gave him a way out, his self-righteous attitude was so speechless. He couldn't even apologize?]
[+1, he's not on time, and he's trying to shift the blame. Does he think the audience are all fools?]
"Wow," Ruan Xiaoyu couldn't help but say when she saw the food being served, "Hulu even made some side dishes. How thoughtful! The fairy actually knows how to cook."
Xu Qinghu laughed, "Then you should eat more of the food made by the fairies."
"Hahaha," Ruan Xiaoyu pulled her to sit next to her and said with a smile, "I'm going to eat two big bowls today."
"It tastes good," Gu Jingchen was the first to pick up his chopsticks. He tried a piece of bamboo shoots and gave Xu Qinghu a thumbs up. "Looking forward to dinner."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Wanshu glanced at Xu Qinghu and said nothing.
Instead, it was Qi Song who asked Xu Qinghu what dishes he was going to cook in the evening and where to buy the groceries.
Xu Qinghu answered calmly, and the two of them quickly made an appointment to go shopping for groceries.
"This spinach salad is so delicious," Ruan Xiaoyu kept talking. "Can you tell me how to make it? I'll make it for myself in the future."
Xu Qinghu: "I'll sort it out and send it to you later."
Seeing the two of them getting along happily, Zhong Zining sighed inwardly, thinking that Ruan Xiaoyu was still too naive to be bribed by a meal.
After dinner, Qi Song went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Xu Qinghu packed up and went to the company.
"Do you want to go together?" Ruan Xiaoyu asked: "I'll take you to take the subway."
"Sure." Xu Qinghu followed her to the subway entrance, and only said goodbye to her when they arrived near the company.
"I've already hired an acting teacher for you," Sister Cao grabbed her hand as soon as she entered the room. "Hurry up and pack up. The class will start in ten minutes."
"I understand." Xu Qinghu put down his bag, pushed open the door of the classroom, and met a pair of sharp eyes.
She was a middle-aged woman with a round face and a well-proportioned figure. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes were bright and vivid, reminding people of the birds singing in the mountains.
"Hello," Xu Qinghu was not shocked by her slightly oppressive gaze, but introduced himself, "You must be Teacher Liu, right? I am Xu Qinghu."
Liu Lin was stunned for a moment when she saw Xu Qinghu, but she quickly reacted and asked her to go to the classroom because she was about to start teaching.
After a day of classes, Xu Qinghu still felt a little headache when he left the company.
She arrived at the place where she had agreed to meet Qi Song, and saw Qi Song leaning against a black motorcycle from a distance. His black clothes and black pants looked extremely cool, attracting a lot of people's attention.
Xu Qinghu walked over, and Qi Song sighed, "You're too late, aren't you? Do you know how long I've been waiting for you? If you're any later, the supermarket will be closed."
Xu Qinghu glanced at the time. "We agreed to meet at half past six. I'm not late."
Qi Song snorted coldly: "If I had known it would be so troublesome, I wouldn't have bothered to wait for you."
He has no gentlemanly manners towards people he doesn't like.
Xu Qinghu listened to his impatient complaints and recalled the description of him in the novel. He was also the most loyal pursuer of Qiao Wanshu. In the middle and late stages of the romance, in order to make Qiao Wanshu happy, he deliberately abandoned himself on a deserted mountaintop with no signal during a date.
If the director hadn't noticed something was wrong, she would have even had to spend the night in the wilderness.
