Chapter 37 Chapter 37 A date alone The hero and heroine meet alone...
The male guests who returned to the room opened the gift boxes they had received.
Qi Song received a two-year free dining card for a specific restaurant.
You can figure out who sent it with just your toes.
He gritted his teeth secretly and almost threw the meal card into the trash can.
My old swan, Zhong Zining is always thinking about advertising herself. She's such a talent to come up with such a gift.
[Shouldn't we say that these two are so compatible that they can actually go on a date together again?]
[Hahaha, I can already imagine how furious Zhong Zining would be after seeing Qi Song.]
[This is the result of not working hard. Qi Song himself is not good enough, so he shouldn't take his anger out on the female guest.]
Inside Gu Jingchen’s red gift box was a set of Rose Castle building blocks that were very popular online.
The color red is very symbolic, and Gu Jingchen subconsciously thought that this was a gift from Xu Qinghu. After all, she was wearing a red dress on the day she first came, and there was a faint scent of roses on her body, so this might be the gift she prepared.
Thinking of this, he not only did not feel disappointed, but also had a vague anticipation that dating her would be very happy.
With a slight smile on his lips, he began to study the building blocks, intending to complete the construction before the end of the show.
[Whose gift is Gu Jingchen from? Why can't I tell?]
[Could it be Xu Qinghu's? It sounds like a gift she would prepare. If so, whose gift did You Zhi get?]
[I have a bad feeling. I want to see You Zhi and Xu Qinghu date, not her and Gu Jingchen.]
[It shouldn't be a gourd. Don't ask why. My intuition tells me so.]
In Du Yanting’s blue gift box is a very beautifully shaped rainbow aromatherapy. After lighting it, you will feel like you are in the evening after the rain.
[This is a gift from Wen Ruoxi. She received Teacher Gu's perfume last time and chose this aromatherapy as a response.]
[Unfortunately, the one who received the gift was not Gu Jingchen.]
Ruoxi has such a good temperament and a gentle personality. She's obviously a perfect partner, so why hasn't anyone noticed her?
[+1, my favorite female guest is her and Qiao Qiao. Both of them are quite reserved, but they act with grace and grace.]
Du Yanting put away the aromatherapy without any surprise on his face, as if he had already guessed who the gift was from.
In the quiet room, He Shengnian opened the green wrapping paper, and what appeared before him was a wooden gift box that felt very tactile.
The moment He Shengnian opened the lid of the box, he saw a pair of emerald green cufflinks inside, set against platinum. They were low-key yet shimmering, which suited his temperament very well.
[What beautiful cufflinks, they must be a gift from Qiao Qiao.]
[This gift seems to be high-end. Among the five female guests, only Qiao Wanshu is so generous.]
[I knew Mr. He would be able to choose Qiao Qiao's gift. I look forward to their date tomorrow!]
He Shengnian looked at it for a moment, then raised his hand to put the gift box away.
In another room, You Zhi also opened his gift.
Under the exquisite packaging was a hand-painted card with the following inscription on the back: [This is not a date card made by the program team, but a date card that belongs to me. The male guest who receives this gift will have the opportunity to go out on a date with me alone. All you have to do is write my name on it. I will respond to the invitation and arrive as scheduled.]
You Zhi's pupils shrank slightly, as if he didn't expect to receive such a special gift.
[Oh my goodness, is this a gift from Xu Qinghu? It's actually a chance to get close to her. This girl is really good at stirring things up.]
[It must be Xu Qinghu. She is the most thoughtful person in the room.]
[u1s1, if this is really a gift from Xu Qinghu, You Zhi should be very happy.]
[Doesn't the production team stop this kind of gift? This is really unfair.]
[But it’s really cool. I envy such bold and uninhibited girls.]
[It would be better to give her a more specific gift, like a date card. Even the stingiest people are not as stingy as her.]
[Upstairs, do you think Youzhi wants another gift, or this date card?]
[Perhaps he received gifts many times, but this extra date with Xu Qinghu was almost the only one. If he missed it, he would never get it again.]
[As a fan of Hulu and Mr. He, I suddenly feel so regretful. It would be so great if Mr. He got it, then he could date Hulu back-to-back.]
After seeing the date card, You Zhi's mouth curled up slightly. He looked at the hand-drawn picture on it over and over again, and his eyes seemed to be filled with tiny stars.
The next day, someone got up at dawn to make breakfast.
Ruan Xiaoyu heard the noise in the corridor and got up from the bed. Looking at Xu Qinghu's face half-hidden in the blanket, she wanted to call her to get up together.
Xu Qinghu raised his hand and covered his face with the blanket. He said sleepily, "Don't worry about me. It's still early for my date."
She finally has a day off, so she must get enough sleep.
Ruan Xiaoyu scratched her hair and said, "I miscalculated. If I had known earlier, I would have scheduled the date later."
After saying that, she put on her slippers and walked reluctantly towards the bathroom.
In the kitchen, He Shengnian and Gu Jingchen were making breakfast, while Wen Ruoxi and Qiao Wanshu were helping them.
The four of them exchanged a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
Others came downstairs one after another and saw the sumptuous breakfast, and began to praise it.
"Where's Hulu?" Wen Ruoxi glanced upstairs and asked doubtfully, "Isn't she up yet?"
"He's still asleep," Ruan Xiaoyu took a sip of soy milk, "He won't be down for a while."
Zhong Zining curled her lips when she heard this, "She wouldn't deliberately set the date very late just to sleep in, would she?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a lot of information was revealed.
The time and place of this date were all arranged by the female guest. Xu Qinghu got up so late, which meant that her date time was also relatively late. The male guest could roughly guess his date by comparing the date information he received.
Ruan Xiaoyu glanced at her and said, "It's just a date. There's no need to leave so early in the morning."
Zhong Zining snorted softly: "The weather has been getting hotter recently, so of course the sooner we leave, the better."
Qiao Wanshu's eyes changed when she heard this. Her date was scheduled for a relatively late time. When Zhong Zining said this, she was not only implying Xu Qinghu, but also alluding to her.
"Everyone has their own plans," she said, looking at Zhong Zining. "As long as we're both okay with it, that's fine."
After hearing her words, Zhong Zining finally calmed down.
Ruan Xiaoyu curled her lips, thinking that Zhong Zining looked down on Qi Song, and she was not much better. She always targeted and belittled Hulu. If someone didn't know better, they would think Xu Qinghu had some deep hatred against her.
After breakfast, people who were going out for dates set off one after another, and the lively cottage gradually became quiet.
Xu Qinghu had a good sleep and finally got up from the bed.
She rushed to the bathroom to wash up as quickly as possible, sat in front of the dressing table to put on delicate makeup, then changed into a brightly colored oil painting-style dress and walked downstairs with her bag.
At this time, He Shengnian was working in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He looked up when he heard footsteps, and his eyes paused when he saw Xu Qinghu.
With her long hair draped over her shoulders and a pastoral straw hat on her head, she looked like a shepherdess going to the yard to pick vegetables.
Noticing his gaze, Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and smiled at him, "Are you still going to work on Saturday?"
He Shengnian looked away and ignored her.
Xu Qinghu was not angry either. Instead, he winked at him and said with a smile, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving first."
She put on white knitted sandals, opened the door and walked out. Her steps were as light as a deer in the woods. Even her back was glowing in the sunlight.
[When will I be able to stop my heart from racing when I see Xu Qinghu? We're both girls, but I'm always amazed by her.]
[She is so beautiful. Even if she is not wearing gorgeous clothes, but the most ordinary clothes, she is still dazzling.]
[You can criticize everything about her, but her beauty is undeniable.]
[He Zong is not interested in this kind of person, which means he really doesn't like this product.]
[It's hard to imagine what would happen if Xu Qinghu used his enthusiasm for Mr. He on Gu Jingchen and Du Yanting. Can they be as calm as Mr. He?]
Soon, all the female guests in the cabin arrived at the date location.
The place Zhong Zining chose was the aquarium, which is very suitable for a date in summer.
She was wearing an orange long skirt and looked at the intersection with anticipation, hoping that the person getting off the car was He Shengnian.
In the cabin, he was the male guest she liked the most. He had an inexplicable aura that made her feel intoxicated. She couldn't tell what it was, but she couldn't forget him.
After the program crew's car arrived, she stared straight ahead without blinking, repeating He Shengnian's name in her mind until the ghost-fire boy Qi Song appeared in her sight.
Zhong Zining's eyes darkened and she thought to herself, it's all over.
If she had known it was Qi Song who was coming, she would not have prepared so carefully for the date.
A fool like Qi Song doesn't deserve it at all!
As Qi Song got closer, Zhong Zining closed her eyes secretly, trying her best to calm the anger in her heart.
On the other side, Ruan Xiaoyu also saw her date.
Gu Jingchen, wearing a white shirt, was like the most eye-catching scenery in the amusement park, and attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as he appeared.
"Teacher Gu," she went up to him with some surprise, "You are the one who got my gift?"
Little did he know that the moment he saw her, Gu Jingchen lowered his eyes in disappointment.
He thought his date was Xu Qinghu and even styled his hair, but it turned out to be Ruan Xiaoyu.
"It's me," Gu Jingchen said calmly, "I didn't expect to get your gift."
"What a coincidence," Ruan Xiaoyu didn't notice the change in his eyes, and was full of anticipation for the upcoming date. "Are you ready? You have to play a lot of games with me today."
Gu Jingchen smiled gently, "No problem."
"Let's go," Ruan Xiaoyu led the way, "Let's go ride the pirate ship first."
Gu Jingchen strode after her, listening to her chattering about the activities she was going to play later, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did you give me rose building blocks as a gift?"
"Of course I like it," Ruan Xiaoyu turned around and looked at him, "roses are my favorite flowers."
"Is that so?" Gu Jingchen lowered his eyes and looked at her, his mood becoming extremely complicated, "I thought..."
"What did you think?" Ruan Xiaoyu blinked and said deliberately, "You didn't think the gift was from someone else, did you?"
Gu Jingchen shook his head. "I like rose blocks very much. Thank you."
"Hehe," Ruan Xiaoyu became happy again, "Then remember to put them together, the finished product will be more beautiful."
"good."
[It's actually Ruan Xiaoyu. I thought it was Xu Qinghu.]
[Don't say that. Roses aren't exclusive to Xu Qinghu.]
[Thinking back to the text Xiaoyu sent to Youzhi earlier, she said she liked roses, not daisies, so that's why she gave him a rose-related gift.]
[It's a pity that Gu Jingchen isn't interested in her, otherwise they would be a good match.]
[Seeing her as happy as a little bird while Gu Jingchen seemed to be in low spirits, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.]
The two played in the amusement park for a long time. It was not until noon that Ruan Xiaoyu, still unsatisfied, pulled Gu Jingchen out to eat.
Gu Jingchen still followed her, but he was wondering what Qiao Wanshu was doing at the moment. Was she really dating He Shengnian?
He Shengnian was the last person to leave the cabin.
He drove to the address in the text message, which was a handicraft workshop in the city center.
He parked the car on the side of the road and just opened the door, he saw a slender figure standing on the busy street, quietly waiting for his arrival.
Noticing his gaze, the girl slowly turned around. The moment she saw him, a brief moment of daze appeared on her face. She quickly waved at him with a clear smile, "Here."
The breeze blew, the girl's hair fluttered, and her skirt swayed along, and her whole body was filled with the breath of summer.
He Shengnian crossed the road and walked to her side. Qiao Wanshu raised her head, revealing her beautiful and pretty face.
She looked at the tall man in front of her, her eyes slightly curved, "I didn't expect that you got my gift."
She sighed in a fatalistic voice.
He Shengnian had always wanted to go on a date with her alone, so it was completely within her expectations that he would choose her gift.
But the moment she saw his face, she still felt a little regretful why it wasn't Du Yanting.
He Shengnian likes her very much, but he is not her goal, and sometimes he becomes a stumbling block between her and Du Yanting. This makes Qiao Wanshu feel very complicated about him.
But to be honest, she was not against He Shengnian, and was even looking forward to dating him.
If Du Yanting was not available, He Shengnian would be a good choice.
Although he does not have a wealthy family background, he is very capable and may be able to transcend class and meet her expectations in the future.
"Are you the first person to choose a gift?" She looked up at He Shengnian's eyes.
The man nodded slightly.
Qiao Wanshu laughed and said, "You are so lucky to have chosen me right away."
She didn't mention the hint on the wrapping paper, but just said, "Then you will follow my arrangements today?"
He Shengnian nodded and followed her to the workshop.
As soon as they entered the door, a staff member came to greet them and took them to the workbench by the window.
"You can DIY silver jewelry and other handicrafts here. You can take a look at the picture album first."
When choosing a date venue, Qiao Wanshu did some basic research in advance and was very familiar with the handicraft process. "I can make rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc."
Watching her patiently introduce the styles, He Shengnian opened the album at hand and selected the styles that interested him.
Looking at his cold yet handsome profile, Qiao Wanshu had a faint smile in his eyes.
If He Shengnian's family background was better, she would definitely choose him without hesitation. After all, she liked his appearance and personality.
pity.
She lowered her eyelashes, picked up the silver bars prepared by the staff, and planned to make two pinky rings for herself.
Although she may not need such cheap accessories in her daily life, since it is a date, her purpose is not handicrafts, but to interact with the male guest through handicrafts.
He Shengnian quickly chose the style, which turned out to be a bracelet.
Qiao Wanshu looked at him in surprise.
"What's wrong?" The man's eyes fell on her face.
Qiao Wanshu asked doubtfully, "Do you have the habit of wearing bracelets?"
He Shengnian shook his head and said calmly, "I just picked it at random."
Qiao Wanshu's heart was filled with inspiration, and he immediately realized that this might be a gift for him. His voice suddenly lowered, "Your process is quite complicated and will take a long time. You can always come to me if you need help."
"good."
He Shengnian selected the silver bars he needed from the materials brought by the staff, and lowered his head to start shaping them.
Seeing how meticulous he was, Qiao Wanshu felt embarrassed to disturb him, and continued making her own ring with the help of the staff.
Before long, He Shengnian created the prototype of the bracelet, found thinner silver bars, and used tools to start making coils.
Only then did Qiao Wanshu realize that he wanted to make a bracelet for traveling expenses.
I couldn't help but ask, "Are you always so serious at work? You don't say a word when you're busy."
He Shengnian looked up at her and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me anytime."
Qiao Wanshu thought for a moment and said softly, "There are indeed a few questions."
He Shengnian stopped what he was doing and heard her say, "You are so busy with work every day, do you really have time to spend with the person you like?"
He Shengnian frowned slightly and quickly said, "I will try my best to spend my time outside of work with my future partner."
This answer did not disappoint Qiao Wanshu, it even surprised her.
She likes men with ambitions, and it is a rare thing if the man can spend all his time after work with her.
"Do you have any specific requirements for your significant other?"
This question was not difficult to answer, but He Shengnian fell silent and fell into an indescribable silence.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Wanshu said with a smile: "Yes, yes, no, no. Is it difficult?"
"Yes." He Shengnian looked into her eyes, his voice slow and low.
He didn't explicitly say what his request was, but Qiao Wanshu could sense that he was not in a good mood.
She seemed to have asked a rather awkward question.
This is not a good sign.
At least for two people on a date, a bad question may instantly bring the originally good atmosphere to freezing point.
But what puzzled her was He Shengnian's silence at that moment.
It was as if he had a specific person in mind, which was why it was so difficult to answer.
This realization made Qiao Wanshu's originally good mood suddenly sink.
But she didn't show any strange expression, and the corners of her mouth were still smiling. "Then, will you feel disappointed when you get my gift?"
She asked this question deliberately to see He Shengnian's reaction.
The man put down the jewelry he was still working on and said calmly, "No."
Qiao Wanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject: "I'm in trouble here. The printing on the ring face is not beautiful enough. Can you come over and help?"
