Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Date Arrangement: Take a Skyride with Him...
Noticing Qiao Wanshu's distraught look, Qi Song walked over to her side. He wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say, so he just said, "Are you going to work? I'll drive you there."
Qiao Wanshu shook his head. "I can do it myself."
She picked up her bag from the chair and trotted out of the living room.
Qi Song strode after her and helped her open the garden door. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Don't be unhappy."
He was aggressive and rude to the other female guests, but when it came to Qiao Wanshu, he was like a helpless puppy. "After get off work, I can take you to the mountains to see the stars."
"No thanks," Qiao Wanshu's mind was in a mess. She didn't want to have any contact with the opposite sex other than He Shengnian. "I'm not unhappy."
Qi Song lowered her eyelashes and looked at her extremely beautiful face. The corners of her eyes were red, and she had obviously suffered a great injustice.
"I know why you're unhappy," he said in a voice only the two of them could hear. "I can help you."
"Help me with what?" Qiao Wanshu shook his head. "I don't need your help."
Qi Song said: "You are so innocent and so fragile, I must protect you."
Qiao Wanshu looked up at him. Qi Song's eyes were filled with undisguised tenderness, as if he only saw her.
Qiao Wanshu has never lacked suitors since she was a child, and there are many people like Qi Song who like to please her, so she didn't take what he said to heart.
Just say: "I'm running late for work."
Qi Song made way for her and walked her to the car before handing her the fruit in his hand, which was a box of sliced honeydew melon.
Qiao Wanshu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Qi Song actually knew what fruits he liked to eat.
She had never told anyone in the cabin, so how did he know?
"Don't be unhappy," he said again: "I like the way you smile."
Qiao Wanshu took the fruit and whispered "thank you".
Qi Song took two steps back and warned, "Be sure to pay attention to safety on the road."
Qiao Wanshu couldn't help but glance at him again. Qi Song's gaze towards her was always focused and serious. It seemed as if he was willing to fight for her no matter what she said.
The moment this thought popped up, Qiao Wanshu's heart seemed to skip a beat.
She once again wondered if she had met Qi Song before.
After Xu Qinghu came to the company, she studied with the teacher as usual and was busy from morning to night. At five o'clock in the afternoon, she received a message from He Shengnian asking for her work address so that he could come and pick her up for dinner later.
Xu Qinghu didn't hesitate and sent the address directly.
The man quickly replied: "When do you get off work?"
Xu Qinghu glanced at the schedule and said, "About half past six."
He Shengnian replied, "Okay," and the brief chat ended.
Xu Qinghu put her cell phone on the table and continued to study with the teacher until almost six o'clock, then she changed out of her yoga clothes and went back to the office to touch up her makeup.
Looking at the girl in the mirror who was still delicate and beautiful, Xu Qinghu said hello to Sister Cao and walked out with her bag.
"You have a date?" Sister Cao looked at her with a smile, her mouth wide open with joy. "Seize the opportunity and try to win him over in one fell swoop."
She stayed in Xu Qinghu's live broadcast room every day and had known about the progress between her and He Shengnian for a long time. She didn't expect that she could really impress the other party and became more confident in the company's future.
Xu Qinghu took the elevator downstairs and saw He Shengnian in the parking lot not far away.
He stood in front of the car door, wearing a rather formal gray suit, which made his already superior figure look even taller and more upright. Even if you couldn't see what was underneath his clothes, you could tell from his body shape how strong his chest and abdominal muscles were.
Many passersby secretly looked at him and wanted to approach him to chat, but were scared away by his overly cold and awe-inspiring aura. They could only look back every few steps and tell their companions that they had met the rumored domineering CEO.
Xu Qinghu: "..."
As soon as she appeared, He Shengnian saw her, his eyes fell quietly on her, and he strode towards her.
Xu Qinghu smiled and waved at him, then trotted over to his side and asked with a smile, "It's not even half past six yet, why are you here?"
He Shengnian looked at her hair, which was a little messy due to the wind, and paused for a few seconds before raising his hand to take the bag from her hand. "I don't like being late."
Xu Qinghu handed him the bag naturally and said with a smile: "I wanted to come out early to wait for you, but I didn't expect you to be here earlier than me."
As she spoke, she followed him towards the car. Her voice was as sweet as a lovely lark, which softened He Shengnian's originally cold aura.
He opened the passenger door and let Xu Qinghu get in first.
Xu Qinghu leaned over and sat in the car, the hem of her turquoise skirt like a ball of soft smoke, floating gently in the breeze.
"You can give me the bag now," Xu Qinghu stretched out his hand and hummed softly, "You can help me carry it after we get off the bus."
He Shengnian didn't say anything, but bent down and lifted up the hem of her skirt that was swaying outside the car door.
Noticing his movements, Xu Qinghu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to lift her skirt.
"I can do it myself," she realized. After she realized what was happening, she immediately took the hem of her skirt from He Shengnian, adjusted it calmly, and said with a smile, "Mr. He, you are so considerate today."
The man lowered his eyes to look at her. Xu Qinghu's eyes curved up and looked at him with burning eyes. "I feel like I'm dreaming. My heart is so sweet."
Her eyes were bright and clear, and when she smiled, it was as if tiny stars twinkled, making her already beautiful face look even more charming.
He Shengnian handed her the bag in his hand and said, "You are too easily satisfied."
Xu Qinghu was stunned for a few seconds. "Can I ask for more?"
He Shengnian said nothing. He walked to the driver's seat and sat down. Only after the car pulled into traffic did he say, "Why not?"
Xu Qinghu's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at He Shengnian carefully, as if he had just met him.
He was so cold before, and she thought he was just a straight man who didn't understand romance. She didn't expect that he could actually say nice things.
[My old swan, Mr. He, is this old house on fire?]
[Sure enough, when facing someone of the opposite sex he likes, He Shengnian becomes a different person. This is what true love is. He and Qiao Wanshu don't have this feeling.]
[The moment he lifted her skirt really touched me. I really wanted him and Xu Qinghu to do something extreme, but I didn't dare to say it out loud.]
[Isn't it just a kiss? I'm so confident I can even tag their accounts. @许青瓢 @长宁律所贺盛年.]
[Does Hulu have an account? Why don’t I know it?]
[Yes, it was just launched two days ago. Fans who like her can go and follow her. She also posted a video of herself taking an acting class.]
[Ahhh! Finally there's an account! I want to follow it!]
He Shengnian booked a restaurant by the river for dinner. It was a restaurant that served Huaiyang cuisine with a relatively light flavor, with just the right balance of saltiness and sweetness, which was very much to Xu Qinghu's liking.
She usually has a lot of food taboos. Unless it is a dish she really likes, she rarely touches oily and salty food and desserts.
"It's so beautiful here." Xu Qinghu sat by the window and could see the sunset. The dusk painted the river water into a shimmering crimson.
"Yeah." He Shengnian poured her a glass of water and watched the sunset with her, enjoying the cool breeze from the river blowing in from the window.
"I feel like I'm not tired anymore," Xu Qinghu couldn't help but say, "After dinner, let's go for a walk by the river."
He Shengnian nodded and said, "There are other arrangements."
"Ah?" Xu Qinghu's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he asked curiously, "What else have you arranged?"
He Shengnian didn't respond and asked her to eat first.
In order to avoid extravagance, they did not order too many dishes. They ordered two meat dishes and one vegetable dish, plus a bowl of soup.
Xu Qinghu didn't have a big appetite. After eating half a bowl of rice and some vegetables, he put down his chopsticks and sat on the side watching He Shengnian eat.
He ate at a fast pace, but his movements were very calm, which was pleasing to the eyes.
Xu Qinghu sighed repeatedly: "Mr. He, how come you look so good even when you're eating."
He Shengnian glanced at her and said, "You eat too little."
"I can't eat too much at night," Xu Qinghu touched his elbow and sighed, "otherwise I'll look ugly on camera."
He Shengnian: “…”
[God damn it, if you become ugly, then won’t others be uglier?]
[Hulu, do you have appearance anxiety? Don't be so hard on yourself.]
[u1s1, Xu Qinghu has been so self-disciplined even before she entered the entertainment industry. I'm really a fan of her.]
[From the videos she posted, she's been taking acting classes since signing with an agency. Without revealing her exact purpose for entering the entertainment industry, her attitude is quite serious.]
[As long as it's not illegal, everyone is free to pursue any profession. There's no need to criticize Xu Qinghu's choice.]
[+1, those who previously said Xu Qinghu entered the entertainment industry for money, if they were half as pretty as Xu Qinghu, they would probably be even more enthusiastic than Xu Qinghu.]
After dinner, the two took a walk along the river.
Xu Qinghu was like a light butterfly, walking and stopping in front. When he saw interesting scenery, he turned back and asked He Shengnian to come over and take a look.
"I saw a fish," she said, pointing to the water, and said with great surprise, "It's a big fish, look."
He Shengnian followed her gaze and vaguely saw a black shadow.
"It must be a big fish," Xu Qinghu repeated, "but it's a pity that we can't fish here."
He Shengnian: “…”
The man was silent for a few seconds and then asked, "Do you like fishing?"
"Not really," Xu Qinghu slowed down his pace, "It's probably a habit I developed when I was a child."
At that time, she lived with her grandmother in her hometown. In order to improve her life, she often went to the river to catch fish. Over time, she developed the idea of catching fish whenever she saw them.
"After we leave the program, I can take you sea fishing." He Shengnian also stopped and looked at Xu Qinghu's fair and clean face. "Then we can take the boat out and catch as much as you want."
He looked at her calmly with narrow eyes, and did not think she was too noisy or ask about her past life because of her sudden shouting.
"Okay," Xu Qinghu raised his eyes and looked at him, "You are not allowed to go back on your word."
"Won't."
[Wow, I'm inexplicably touched. I finally understand Mr. He's charisma. He's the ultimate supportive lover. Whoever is with him is happy.]
[Most importantly, he guessed that Xu Qinghu's family background might not be good, but he did not ask further questions, but instead satisfied her wishes.]
[This is the kind of dating show I want to watch. I'm cheering for Mr. He and Hulu!]
[You two must be locked up!]
He Shengnian continued walking forward with Xu Qinghu until he saw a huge Ferris wheel spanning the river, and then he stopped.
"Are you taking me to Starlight Amusement Park?" Xu Qinghu reacted and said in disbelief, "You're taking me to ride the Ferris wheel?"
She guessed that He Shengnian's plan was at most to take a walk by the river to digest the food, and then return to the cabin when the time was almost up.
I didn’t expect that he actually arranged a Ferris wheel.
The Ferris wheel in Starlight Amusement Park allows you to see the night view of the entire city. Tickets are always in short supply and need to be booked two days in advance.
He Shengnian is so unromantic that it is hard to imagine that he would make such an arrangement.
[My old swan, Mr. He just used his ultimate move! As expected of a boss, he takes action without hesitation when he sees something he likes!]
[How is this any different from watching an idol drama? Since we're already riding a Ferris wheel, maybe we should also kiss at the top.]
[I've been looking forward to it!]
"Let's go." He Shengnian took her to the ticket gate and took out his mobile phone to check the two tickets.
The cockpit parked in front of the two of them was a rose pink color that was quite ambiguous.
The cabin was spacious, and the windows were clean and bright. Xu Qinghu glanced at He Shengnian and asked softly, "Mr. He, do you mind if I take a notebook and write down my feelings here?"
He Shengnian gave her the bag.
Xu Qinghu took out his diary and pen, looked at his extremely handsome face, and said softly: "I wanted to come here to check in before, but I never found the time."
He Shengnian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "From now on, you can tell me where you want to go."
Xu Qinghu lowered his eyelashes and did not respond.
She seemed to be touched by what He Shengnian said, and seemed to feel that all this was too surprising and beyond her expectations.
The cabin made a "click" sound and the Ferris wheel started to move.
The two of them sat face to face in this seemingly large but actually completely enclosed space. They could see the subtlest expressions on each other's faces, and even the rapid breathing sounds caused by the rising cabin became particularly obvious.
Soon, the whole city was like a magnificent painting unfolding. Looking down from a high place, the tall buildings stood in rows, the lights and the stars shone brightly, it was breathtakingly beautiful.
Xu Qinghu took a pen and quickly recorded his feelings at the moment on paper.
It was not until the Ferris wheel was about to reach its highest point that she put away the diary and her eyes fell on the man opposite.
He didn't seem to care how gorgeous the scenery was, he just looked at her quietly. When she looked up, he said, "Have you recorded it?"
"Yes." Xu Qinghu looked at him with a smile, "It's finished."
She slowly stretched out her hand, as if wanting to give him the bag.
He Shengnian raised his hand to take it, but she grabbed his palm cunningly. Her fingers were slender and weak, but soft and delicate, like a piece of warm and cool jade. She pulled his hand and shook it gently.
"I caught you, He Shengnian."
She tilted her head to look at him, her beautiful peach blossom eyes shining brighter than the lights outside.
"Thank you for bringing me here."
She looked at him deeply and held his hand tightly. "I really like today's date. I'm so, so happy now."
The man paused slightly, as if he didn't expect her to suddenly hold his hand.
After a brief pause, he held her hand back.
His fingers were long, his palms were hot and dry, but the strength he held on to her was unquestionable.
The Ferris wheel slowly rose to its highest point and then stopped.
