Chapter 38 Chapter 38 He and she are the same...
He Shengnian stood up and walked over to Qiao Wanshu, took the tools from her hands, and asked, "What kind of print do you want?"
Qiao Wanshu thought for a moment and said, "How about a hexagram? Add some star patterns."
He Shengnian took the tools and began to carve according to her requirements. Soon the shape of the hexagram became clearly visible.
Qiao Wanshu looked at his angular profile and couldn't help but ask, "Is this really your first time at the workshop?"
"Well," He Shengnian asked, "What shape of star pattern do you want?"
"The ring faces are too narrow," Qiao Wanshu thought for a moment, "Let's just use the simplest ones."
He Shengnian nodded and quickly finished making all the prints.
"It's so beautiful," Qiao Wanshu couldn't hide his admiration. "If you weren't here, I'd probably have to waste a lot of materials."
In fact, the staff around her can also help with these things, but this will not highlight the focus of this date.
Although she had no real intention towards He Shengnian, there had to be no communication between them.
He Shengnian stood up and was about to return to his seat across from him when Qiao Wanshu gently called him over, "My pinky ring just needs a little more polishing. I'll go over and help you."
He Shengnian shook his head. "Mine is almost done too."
"Then I'll help you choose accessories," Qiao Wanshu said with a smile, "The coiled bracelet will look better with some accessories."
Upon hearing this, the staff nearby immediately brought her the accessories that the master had crafted and could be hung on the bracelet. There was an exquisite and lively dream catcher, a lucky four-leaf clover, and various auspicious pendants...
"These are so cute," Qiao Wanshu looked around and picked up a small pendant engraved with "peace" and "health." "What do you think of these two?"
He Shengnian looked up and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing this, Qiao Wanshu chose another pendant and handed it over.
He Shengnian raised his hand and hung them all on the bracelet. The already exquisite silver bracelet immediately became even more beautiful and eye-catching.
"It's really beautiful." Qiao Wanshu looked at He Shengnian and thought that the size of this bracelet was perfect for her. If he gave it to her, she would take it out and wear it occasionally.
[How sweet! This bracelet must have been custom-made for Qiao Qiao by Mr. He.]
[Qiao Qiao gave him cufflinks, and he gave Qiao Qiao a bracelet. The two of them were very affectionate and both were good friends.]
Qiao Qiao seems quite interested in Mr. He, even more enthusiastic than she is towards Gu Jingchen. There are signs of things developing further.
[The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they are already in love, I hope they will go out more often in the future.]
[Although, I always felt that He Shengnian was a little absent-minded. When Qiao Wanshu spoke to him, he was also concise and to the point. He was not as focused on Qiao Wanshu as when they first arrived at the cabin.]
[+1, Qiao Wanshu was the one who kept finding topics to talk about during this date. He Shengnian didn't seem to have taken the initiative to ask about her.]
[I agree, but I don't dare to say it, for fear of being criticized by Qiao Wanshu's fans.]
[What's wrong with you?! These two people clearly get along so well, you haters are going to die if you don't start conspiracy theories, right?!]
If Mr. He didn't like Qiao Qiao, would he have made a bracelet specifically for her? It's obvious he has feelings for Qiao Qiao. Otherwise, why would he leave the rich girl in front of him and instead look for a vase who wants to enter the entertainment industry?
[There's no way He Shengnian and Xu Qinghu are holding hands. Xu Qinghu's fans, stop rushing to get scolded. You're just as annoying as your real boyfriend.]
After making the bracelet, He Shengnian asked the staff to find a jewelry box and put the bracelet in it.
Seeing this, Qiao Wanshu's mouth curled up slightly, "I have booked a restaurant, let's go over for lunch first."
He Shengnian had no objection and went with her to a nearby Western restaurant.
Compared to their busy workshops, eating is the time when the two can truly communicate.
There was no one to disturb you in the window box, only the aroma of food and the romantic and pleasant sound of the piano.
"I was the one asking you questions just now. Do you have anything you want to ask me?" After sitting down face to face, Qiao Wanshu looked up at He Shengnian.
The man's eyes fell on her face, his gaze deep and calm, as if he was looking into an abyss with no end in sight. "Are you disappointed when you see me today?"
He asked the same question as Qiao Wanshu.
"Of course not," Qiao Wanshu's eyes curved slightly, "It's fate and destiny that you can get my gift. I'm very surprised."
Having said that, they all knew in their hearts that it was not God's will or fate, but that He Shengnian spared no effort to get her gift.
He wanted to go out on a date with her alone.
That was what he had always wanted to do since they met.
"Do you like the cufflinks I gave you?" Qiao Wanshu looked into his eyes. "I spent a long time choosing them at the mall. You should be able to use them."
He Shengnian said slowly: "The gift is very good."
"That's good," Qiao Wanshu feigned relief. "I was worried that the male guest who received the gift wouldn't like it. Luckily, you got it."
He Shengnian didn't respond and continued to ask: "Do you have any requirements for your future partner?"
Qiao Wanshu had expected him to ask such a question, "Of course."
She looked at him calmly and said seriously, "I hope my future partner is a mature and stable person, with a good career and a positive and enterprising spirit, who is loyal to me and my family, who can lead me forward, and who is a guiding lover."
This statement sounds fine at first, but if you think about it carefully you can see the hidden meaning.
What she needs is a partner who can meet her financial needs as well as provide her with emotional value.
"But I'm not a willful person," Qiao Wanshu added: "When he's busy with his career, I will be his strong support and give him my full support when he needs me."
"I hope that he and I can complement each other and make progress together."
She slowly spoke her mind, "If I meet that person, I will grab him without hesitation."
She seems cold and introverted, but she is definitely not a naive and ignorant little girl.
By saying these words, she was not only telling He Shengnian her requirements, but also reminding him that if he couldn't meet her requirements, she would never give up.
She comes from a wealthy family and has no intention of helping the poor, nor will she accept an incompetent man.
If he likes her, he must show enough sincerity.
"I understand." He Shengnian was not intimidated by her request, and his expression did not change. "There is nothing wrong with your request."
Hearing this, Qiao Wanshu deliberately said, "Don't you think it's harsh?"
He Shengnian shook his head.
"What about you?" Qiao Wanshu asked, "Are you clear about what you want?"
She wanted to know whether he would firmly choose her and would not waver even if he had a suitor like Xu Qinghu.
"Do you believe in God's will?" He Shengnian asked instead of answering.
Qiao Wanshu intuitively felt that this was not a groundless question, but she could not figure out what He Shengnian's intentions were.
She thought about it over and over again, and quickly said, "I believe it, but I don't believe it either."
"I believe because fate will bring the right person to me. This is the destiny between him and me. I don't believe because I think some things that seem to be predetermined can be turned around if we work hard enough."
"For me, there's no real answer to this question." She looked into He Shengnian's eyes, "Just like I never thought I'd ever participate in a dating show."
“Only at a certain point did I know what I wanted to do.”
He Shengnian nodded, but did not stop talking about this topic. "If someone appears who does not meet your requirements, what will you do?"
He looked into Qiao Wanshu's eyes, as if all the previous problems were just for this one question.
Qiao Wanshu's body stiffened, and the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.
She looked at He Shengnian and finally realized that the man sitting opposite her was a truly mature and steady man.
He is almost thirty years old and is no longer at the age to believe in love. His intelligence is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.
All the questions we ask actually have the answers in our hearts.
This discovery made Qiao Wanshu's heart skip a beat.
But she did not avoid He Shengnian's gaze. The more she was at this moment, the more she could not be timid, otherwise she would appear to the audience as being insecure and guilty.
Qiao Wanshu said slowly: "I don't like to waste time on anything. Once I like someone, I want to be with him until the end."
"But if I knew from the beginning that there would be no result, I would keep my distance from the other person until I calmed down completely."
"In this world, many things are fruitless." She looked into He Shengnian's eyes, "Only those who share the same vision can move forward hand in hand."
“As for the scenery we missed on the way, there are better ones waiting for us ahead.”
He Shengnian fell silent after hearing this. After a moment, he slowly said, "That makes sense."
"What about you?" Qiao Wanshu asked, "Would you get in touch with someone who is not suitable for you?"
She continued to test He Shengnian, trying to find out his true feelings.
If it weren't for Xu Qinghu, she wouldn't have doubted He Shengnian's sincerity, but the appearance of Xu Qinghu made her feel a strong sense of crisis.
The man looked away, "I think the same as you."
His tone was low and calm, "I won't waste my time on the wrong person."
After hearing this, Qiao Wanshu finally felt relieved.
This not only represents his thoughts on Xu Qinghu, but also proves that they are the same kind of people.
How could a superior standing in the clouds bow his head to look at the flowers in the dust?
Even if it is a very beautiful flower.
It would not shake his heart, which was as cold as ice.
"I'm very happy chatting with you today," Qiao Wanshu looked at him deeply. "I used to think you were very distant from me, someone who was difficult to approach. I didn't expect we have so much in common."
She looked at He Shengnian's stern face and thought to herself that she had made her statement clearly enough. If he really liked her, he would know what to do.
He Shengnian didn't respond, but the eyes he looked at her were like the surface of a lake in a storm. When the fog dissipated, it became empty, calm and deserted.
The sudden storm swept away all the emotions in his eyes.
But Qiao Wanshu didn't notice anything unusual and smiled, changing the topic elsewhere.
[My old swan, such an in-depth conversation, other romance shows have never discussed such realistic issues.]
I really like Qiao Qiao's honesty. If she wanted to keep Mr. He hanging, she could have said some high-sounding words, but she didn't do that at all.
Qiao Qiao is so mature. No matter what Mr. He asks, she always answers it. The two of them are really a perfect match.
I like Qiao Qiao's view on love. She says that dating is all about getting married, and she doesn't waste anyone's time easily.
[After hearing these words, Mr. He probably likes Qiao Qiao even more.]
[Don’t you think He Shengnian’s question is very interesting? Is he really asking Qiao Wanshu? Or is he asking himself?]
[Although this conversation was fascinating, He Shengnian's interest remained low. Is this really the state of being attracted to the opposite sex?]
[Stop the conspiracy theories. If Mr. He didn't like Qiao Qiao, would he ask so many questions?]
After lunch, Qiao Wanshu saw that it was still early and suggested going to the riverside to get some fresh air.
He Shengnian had no objection and drove her to the tree-lined road by the river.
A gentle breeze blew, and Qiao Wanshu's skirt fluttered gently. She turned around and looked at He Shengnian who was following behind her. "I feel very happy today. How about you?"
He Shengnian lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Handicrafts are fun."
"I think so too," Qiao Wanshu put his hand on the railing, revealing his fair wrist, and said meaningfully, "I didn't expect you to make bracelets. I thought you would choose something simple like a ring."
He Shengnian didn't say anything. He just returned to the car and handed her the silver bracelet in the jewelry box. "This is for you."
"Really?" Qiao Wanshu blinked and pretended to be surprised, "Did you make this especially for me?"
I immediately wanted to wear the bracelet on my hand to see the effect.
But maybe it was because the size was not right or for some other reason, she didn't put it on immediately.
She lowered her eyelashes and continued to try, but still failed.
Seeing this, He Shengnian stepped forward to help her loosen the joint, and the bracelet finally fit properly on her wrist.
Qiao Wanshu raised his head, raised his wrist, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, sparkling in the sun."
He Shengnian didn't say anything, but just stood not too far away, looking at her quietly.
[It's really a gift for Qiao Qiao. Mr. He is going to get a big score this time!]
[The combination of the overbearing CEO and the rich daughter is absolutely amazing. I’m obsessed with it!]
[Qiao Qiao is so lively in front of Mr. He. It's rare to see her so emotional.]
[Of the five male guests, Mr. He and Qiao Qiao are the most compatible. They must be successful together.]
[Am I the only one who thinks the bracelet is the wrong size? It's a little small on Qiao Wanshu's wrist, and it doesn't look like it was made especially for her.]
[I agree. Perhaps it was Mr. He's first time doing handicrafts, so he didn't get the dimensions right. The flaws don't outweigh the merits.]
[He can even make a coiled bracelet, how could he have trouble judging the size? Are you kidding me? CP fans are just kidding themselves.]
[It seems like Mr. He is not as happy as Qiao Qiao. He was obviously the one who liked Qiao Qiao in the first place. Why did it turn out like this?]
[Would a mature and steady man like someone who is exactly like him? His emotional journey mirrors Qiao Wanshu's. Do you think he would really fall in love with her?]
Before this date, he might have had some expectations for Qiao Wanshu, but the conversation just now was like a wake-up call, instantly waking him up.
[Whether he was clear-headed or not was unknown, but he and Qiao Wanshu were like mirrors looking at each other.]
