Chapter 41 Chapter 41 The special gift is specially given to you...
After dinner, Xu Qinghu and You Zhi returned to the botanical garden, revisited the scenery they had missed in the morning, and went to the studio to get the prepared chocolates.
At this time, the sky outside gradually darkened.
"Let's go," Xu Qinghu walked over to You Zhi, carrying the exquisite packaging bag. "We can go back to the cabin now."
"good."
When Du Yanting and Wen Ruoxi returned to the cabin with the ingredients, it was thought that they were the first to return.
Who knew that He Shengnian and Qiao Wanshu arrived earlier than them.
"You guys..." Even Wen Ruoxi was a little surprised. She had expected He Shengnian and Qiao Wanshu to have a lot to talk about. "Where did you go on your date?"
"The handicraft workshop in the city center," Qiao Wanshu looked at the yogurt in her hand, his eyes twinkling. "It's too hot outside, so Mr. He and I came back first."
"Is that so?" Wen Ruoxi put the yogurt in the refrigerator and said with a smile: "Would you like to cook dinner with us?"
"Okay." Qiao Wanshu glanced at He Shengnian who was working by the window. He had a calm expression, and his angular features looked particularly handsome in the semi-dark light.
Qiao Wanshu stroked the silver bracelet on his hand, his eyelashes drooping slightly, and he felt inexplicably depressed.
After enjoying the cool breeze by the river, she planned to have dinner with He Shengnian and had even thought about what to eat. However, He Shengnian said that he had to deal with some company business and needed to come back early.
Although Qiao Wanshu was not very happy, she was not angry. Instead, she found an excuse that the weather was too hot and she wanted to go back to the cabin, and went back with him.
During this date, Qiao Wanshu's understanding of He Shengnian deepened, and her affection for him gradually grew. She felt that he was more mature and charming than she had imagined, and it would be better if he could be more gentle and passionate.
Maybe she would be willing to give him a chance.
[Mr. He is so busy. It seems that Qiao Qiao has little emotional value when she is with him.]
Mr. He is a career-oriented man who spends most of his time at work. If you want to date him, you must be aware that you can never surpass him in terms of work performance.
[This kind of man is pretty good. As long as he doesn't mess around outside and meets the woman's financial needs, he's a perfect partner.]
It all depends on what Qiao Qiao needs. If she wants emotional value, Gu Jingchen and Qi Song are good choices. If she wants a career-oriented partner, He Shengnian and Du Yanting are her ideal partners. I think Qiao Qiao has a good impression of He Shengnian. In front of him, she's like a little girl who needs to be pampered. She's lively and cute, and can be her true self.
[I agree. I hope they can continue to interact and get to know each other better.]
Not long after, Zhong Zining and Qi Song also came back from outside.
One of them went upstairs while the other went to the kitchen to look for Qiao Wanshu, but neither of them paid any attention to the other.
"Are you back?" Qiao Wanshu turned around when she heard Qi Song calling her. Qi Song took out a cute little raccoon doll from behind and handed it to her. He smiled and said, "Here."
Qiao Wanshu showed a look of surprise, and Qi Song raised his eyebrows proudly: "I brought it specially for you."
"Thank you." Qiao Wanshu wiped his hands, took the doll, and asked, "Who are you going out on a date with today?"
Qi Song rolled his eyes upon hearing this and said, "An old witch who only knows how to lose her temper." He did not hide his disdain for Zhong Zining at all.
"Ah?" Qiao Wanshu was a little confused, not knowing who he was talking about.
[Hahaha, I want to laugh when I think of the scene where Qi Song and Zhong Zining quarreled in the aquarium.]
[Comparing a girl to an old witch, is Qi Song being polite?]
[Zhong Zining didn't do anything to him, did she? She even arranged the date perfectly. He was the one who insisted on leaving Zhong Zining to wander around, causing Zhong Zining and the photographers to search for him everywhere. And when he came to him, he actually called Zhong Zining an old witch. What should I ask?]
[It's really hard to judge someone like Qi Song. Anyone who hangs out with him is doomed to failure. Qiao Qiao should stay away from him.]
[You guys don't get what's so good about Qi Song. He just doesn't have patience with the opposite sex he doesn't like, but he's especially nice to Qiao Qiao. Guys like this, once they like someone, are willing to do anything for them. I absolutely love them.]
[The above, if this isn't extreme, what is? Someone who doesn't even have the basic qualities of a human being, and you still expect him to love someone? If you're so good at whitewashing, I wish you were surrounded by Qi Song.]
"It should be Zi Ning," Wen Ruoxi said softly, "I just saw her come back through the window."
Qiao Wanshu's eyes changed when he heard this, and he asked Qi Song: "Did you make Zi Ning angry?"
Qi Song didn't even blink, "I didn't do anything. She just lost her temper and I'm confused as to why."
Qiao Wanshu frowned slightly, knowing that Qi Song must be lying. Even if Zhong Zining disliked him, she would not lose her temper easily.
"How could you make her unhappy when you went out with her?" She looked at him disapprovingly. "You should be gentle and considerate to girls and not bring your personal emotions to them."
After saying that, she took off her apron and planned to go see Zhong Zining.
[Wow, Qiao Qiao is so nice to Zi Ning, sisterhood is still the best.]
[As expected, Qiao Qiao is unconditionally on Zi Ning's side. You two, lock them up.]
[Seeing this, I like Qiao Qiao even more. She didn't believe what Qi Song said just because he brought her a gift, but instead cared about her best friend first.]
[I feel sorry for Zhong Zining. A stupid and evil scumbag like Qi Song should be kicked out of the dating show.]
"It's not her I like," Qi Song said with a puzzled look at Qiao Wanshu's back without even turning back, "Why should I care about her feelings?"
Wen Ruoxi turned around and saw his gloomy eyes, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
"What are you standing there for?" Du Yanting said calmly, "If you have nothing to do, come and help me."
Qi Song came back to his senses and said subconsciously: "I'm not very good at cooking."
Du Yanting: "Didn't you say you're a good cook?"
"I still have things to do," Qi Song didn't want to go into the kitchen at all. "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."
After saying that, he went to chase Qiao Wanshu.
"I wonder how Zi Ning is doing now." Wen Ruoxi was also a little worried about Zhong Zi Ning's situation.
"You can go and take a look too," Du Yanting said with a smile, "Leave the kitchen work to me."
Wen Ruoxi hesitated: "Can you handle it?"
Du Yanting chuckled and said, "Everything is almost ready."
Wen Ruoxi didn't hesitate any longer and went upstairs after washing her hands.
When she reached the stairs, she heard Qi Song standing at the door of her and Zhong Zining's room. He lowered his voice and said to Qiao Wanshu: "Qiao Qiao, I was wrong. As long as you are not angry, I will do anything..."
Wen Ruoxi paused and walked over as if nothing had happened, "How is Zi Ning?"
Qi Song looked back at her and didn't respond.
Wen Ruoxi walked over and saw Zhong Zining lying on the bed, looking a little pale. Qiao Wanshu was sitting next to her, talking to her with his head down.
"I'm fine," Zhong Zining said, still looking gloomy when she saw Wen Ruoxi: "I just walked too much today and my feet hurt a little."
"Then I'll pour you a glass of water," Wen Ruoxi said softly, "You take a rest first, and you can go downstairs to eat later."
Zhong Zining nodded and said thank you.
When Xu Qinghu and You Zhi arrived at the cabin, it was completely dark.
Hearing the sound of the engine, the busy man in the kitchen subconsciously raised his head and saw Xu Qinghu getting out of the car through the window. Her skirt fluttered, and she looked like a mysterious elf walking out of the twilight, her steps light and graceful.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she turned around and interacted with You Zhi. The pleasant sound was lighter than the wind chimes under the eaves. Du Yanting's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, he heard the sound of slow footsteps behind him. Du Yanting glanced sideways and saw He Shengnian put down his computer, walked to the kitchen door, and slowly said, "The work is almost done. I'll help you."
Du Yanting was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Of course."
"Share the chocolate with everyone later," Xu Qinghu said to You Zhi after opening the garden door. "Let them have a taste of our craftsmanship."
You Zhi nodded and walked into the cabin with her, only to find that no one was in the living room.
Xu Qinghu changed his shoes at the entrance and came to the kitchen door, only to see Du Yanting and He Shengnian cooking.
"I'm back." She poked her head into the kitchen and her eyes moved slightly when she smelled the scent of sweet and sour pork ribs. "Why are there only two of you in the cabin? Where are the others?"
Du Yanting and He Shengnian turned around at the same time and saw that she was wearing a brightly colored oil painting-style long dress, her hair draped softly over her shoulders, and her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, looking at them intently.
Du Yanting's eyes paused, "They are upstairs."
He Shengnian didn't say anything, and there was no emotion in his eyes when he looked at Xu Qinghu.
Xu Qinghu didn't care and said with a smile: "Then I'll come over to help you after I wash my hands?"
Du Yanting raised his eyebrows and glanced between her and He Shengnian. "The kitchen is very fumy. You should serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks."
"Okay." Xu Qinghu walked to the sink and washed his hands. He then moved closer to He Shengnian and looked at the sweet and sour pork ribs that were about to be cooked. He hummed softly, "Looks like I won't have to eat a fat-reducing meal tonight."
Du Yanting looked at her beautiful profile and said meaningfully, "Why didn't you have dinner outside with Xiao You?"
Xu Qinghu didn't even blink, "I can't help it, I just miss you all so much."
This sounds like nonsense, but when it comes out of her mouth, it makes people feel inexplicably soothed.
Du Yanting chuckled: "Really?"
"Boss Du, you actually doubted me," Xu Qinghu feigned dissatisfaction and said, "Xiao You and I even brought you some homemade chocolates."
Hearing this, Du Yanting's eyes flashed with interest, "Did you two do this yourselves?"
"Well," Xu Qinghu took out the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard, "No machines were used. It was all made by hand."
"Xiao You's hands must be quite sore."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
"I helped too, okay?" She glared at Du Yanting with wide eyes and added softly, "Although most of the work was done by Xiao You."
[Hahaha, it's tough, don't tear each other apart. Mr. Du, can you please give Hulu a little face?]
[But, isn't Mr. He very busy? Why did you suddenly come into the kitchen? And at this time, it's a bit strange.]
[The kitchen is a place where interaction is common. Perhaps he came back from visiting Hulu and wanted to talk to her?]
[Stop making fun of me, Mr. He. It's Qiao Qiao that Mr. He likes. How could he be attracted to a vase like Xu Qinghu who has ulterior motives?]
[+1, he just finished work and came here specifically to help Du Yanting, not for Xu Qinghu. Stop flattering yourself.]
[With a female guest as outstanding as Qiao Qiao, any man with sense and style in the room would not be interested in Xu Qinghu. Just wait and see.]
[Then why didn't He Shengnian come over when Qiao Wanshu was in the kitchen? Is he really that busy?]
"I see," Du Yanting said with a half-smile, "We'll try Xiao You's cooking later."
Xu Qinghu: "..."
After cooking the last dish, Du Yanting went upstairs to call others to eat, and He Shengnian put the dirty pots and pans in the sink to wash them.
Xu Qinghu put down the dishes and turned around, then tiptoed to his side like a cute little fox and said in a low voice, "Hold out your hand, I brought you a gift."
The man who was washing the pot glanced at her sideways. Xu Qinghu winked at him and said, "Hurry up."
He Shengnian ignored her and continued washing the pots.
Xu Qinghu was not angry either. He looked at him with a smile and said, "It's useless if you don't want it. I'll put it on your computer."
After saying that, he went to the living room.
"Come back." He Shengnian called her in a deep voice. He wiped the water stains on his hands with a tissue and his eyes fell on Xu Qinghu's face.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghu quickly stuffed the thing in his hand into his hand, and said with a smile: "Remember to eat it, I brought it specially for you."
He Shengnian opened his palm, revealing a heart-shaped chocolate carefully wrapped in red wrapping paper.
Perhaps it was because it was held for too long, and it had already been infected with Xu Qinghu's warmth.
Just like the cherry before, it was not a valuable gift, and was even a little inconspicuous.
But who can say this is not a gift?
She picked the biggest and reddest cherries she found in the orchard, and remembered to bring him chocolates with special meanings when they went out on dates.
He has no shortage of money, status, or pursuit of the opposite sex.
But this special concern will appear extra special at certain times.
[Although I don't like Xu Qinghu, who can resist such flattery? I definitely can't.]
[Does anyone know when Hulu made this chocolate? I have no memory of it.]
[This should be Xiao You handling the mortar, but unfortunately the camera didn't capture it.]
If I were Mr. He, I would choose Xu Qinghu. She's beautiful and can provide emotional value. She's much better than the always reserved Qiao Wanshu.
[I couldn't agree more. Even though I'm a woman, I love this gourd. It's like a cute little kitten, playful yet cute. I can't resist it.]
[This is hilarious. What else can Xu Qinghu do besides trying to please men? She even wants to compete with Qiao Qiao. Is she even worthy?]
If he hadn't been afraid she'd go too far and cause him trouble, Mr. He wouldn't have accepted her chocolate. He'd know the difference when he was rejected.
[I might have been a staunch He Qiao supporter before, but so many things happened today that I'm suddenly a little confused. Can Mr. He and Qiao Qiao really hold hands?]
[Qiao Wanshu's fans, just keep talking nonsense. If He Shengnian isn't interested in Xu Qinghu, I'll rip my head off and kick it like a ball.]
[True dislike is treating someone with indifference, remaining indifferent no matter what they do. Does He Shengnian seem like that?]
