Chapter 234: I Really Think I'm the Snail Girl
The door opened from the inside. Qin Yanxiu raised his eyelids, glanced at her, and walked back directly.
Xu Yousheng paused, entered the room and closed the door behind him.
The top-floor luxury suite where Qin Yanxiu lived was very large. In the living room, he was wearing dark silk pajamas, and there were a lot of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.
He sat on the sofa, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and put it in his mouth, picked up the lighter casually, and with a click, the blue firework jumped out and ignited a flash of scarlet.
Xu Yousheng stood there for a few seconds before standing up and walking forward.
Qin Yan's long legs were casually crossed, his eyes looking out the window solemnly, his profile clear, a hint of scarlet faintly visible on his lips, his figure half-hidden in the light, he looked unrestrained and elegant.
She walked forward, looked at the scene, and sat down on the sofa opposite him without saying a word.
He doesn't look in a good mood.
Qin Yanxiu tapped his slender fingers on the sofa. Under the swirling smoke, his three-dimensional and deep face seemed to be covered with an unclear mask.
Until the cigarette at his fingertips was almost burned out, he threw it into the ashtray and then looked at the girl opposite.
"Come here." His voice was a little hoarse from being soaked in smoke.
Xu Yousheng stood up and just as he walked to him, he pulled him and he fell on his lap.
Qin Yanxiu's thigh muscles were tight and hard. This posture was a bit ambiguous, and Xu Yousheng subconsciously held his shoulders.
"Why aren't you talking?" Qin Yanxiu said lazily.
He hasn't said a word since he came in until now. He is really patient.
Xu Yousheng looked up at his expression and said softly, "I see you don't want to talk much."
"Really? You know me so well?" Qin Yanxiu curled his thin lips slightly and stared at her playfully.
Xu Yousheng felt a little helpless when he looked at her.
"Then guess what I want to do now?" Qin Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but there seemed to be a thick fog that could not be dispelled in his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Xu Yousheng pursed her lips and couldn't say anything.
Qin Yanxiu chuckled softly, and his fingers moved down along the side of her face little by little, the subtle touch was tingling and stirring.
Xu Yousheng's long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly.
Qin Yanxiu lowered his eyes and looked at her face, his eyes gradually darkening.
Xu Yousheng's eyes are very beautiful, like a clear spring, moist and pure. When he looks at you, he is innocent and charming, like a lively deer in the mountains.
Qin Yanxiu gently stroked the corners of her eyes with his fingertips. Her eyes were most charming when they were misty and watery.
In the quiet and empty room, such slow and tiny movements seemed to be magnified countless times. Xu Yousheng moved her fingers slightly, and looked at him carefully and attentively when his gaze shifted away.
Qin Yanxiu grabbed her waist, and when he pushed her down, Xu Yousheng suddenly reached out and touched his forehead.
She frowned subconsciously: "Are you feeling unwell?"
The skin on his forehead was slightly cool and sweaty, and his lips were pale.
No wonder she always felt that he was in a bad mood.
"Did you have dinner?"
Qin Yanxiu's lips curled slightly, his eyes tinged with a hint of amusement: "So concerned about me?"
Xu Yousheng didn't deny it: "My stomach hurts so bad, you should eat something first."
Qin Yanxiu pinched the slender waist under his palm, tightening it little by little: "Just eat you."
Xu Yousheng's cheeks flushed slightly, but she pushed his chest away and stood up from his embrace: "I'm serious."
She had seen him with stomachache, sweating, pale, weak and broken.
Qin Yanxiu let go of her hand, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at her with interest. He wanted to see what she was going to do.
Xu Yousheng turned her head and looked. There was a kitchen here, but when she opened the refrigerator, there was nothing in it except a sandwich and some wine, no vegetables or fruits.
"Didn't your assistant bring you dinner tonight?"
"No appetite."
Xu Yousheng frowned slightly: "I'll order takeout for you, or buy it for you at the hotel restaurant."
Qin Yanxiu made no secret of his dislike: "It's unpalatable."
He can't cook, but he is extremely picky about food and won't eat anything that doesn't suit his taste.
Xu Yousheng thought for two seconds, then remembered that he had eaten the noodles she cooked last time. She tentatively asked, "Then I'll make you something?"
Qin Yanxiu looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised: "It's up to you."
His stomach did feel a little uncomfortable, and he was no longer in the mood. He wanted to see what Xu Yousheng would do.
Xu Yousheng got a positive answer, so he ordered some vegetables and fruits using his mobile phone.
While waiting, she went to the kitchen to boil water, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him: "Drink some hot water first."
Qin Yanxiu didn't answer: "I prefer drinking."
Xu Yousheng pursed her lips and advised softly, "Drinking will make you feel even worse. Your health is important. You can wait until you feel better before drinking."
Qin Qinyan looked at her serious expression, and raised his eyes slightly: "Who cares about me?"
"I just..." Xu Yousheng subconsciously defended herself, but couldn't go on. She seemed to be too concerned and confused just now, which was a little too obvious.
Qin Yanxiu, for once, didn't mock her. He just said lazily, "Then it depends on your cooking skills."
The things Xu Yousheng bought were delivered quickly. She heated a cup of milk for Qin Yanxiu and then went into the kitchen.
When Qin Yanxiu turned around, he could see her busy figure.
She casually tied her hair behind her head and lowered her head to wash rice, vegetables and cut vegetables.
Under the warm chandelier, her lowered brows were tinged with tenderness.
Qin Yanxiu's family never cooks at home all year round, so there is rarely such a homely atmosphere.
Looking at the boiling and steaming water on the stove and her skillful and neat movements, Qin Yanxiu felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he deliberately ignored it.
Realizing that he had been looking for too long, Qin Yanxiu frowned, looked away, and lowered his head to deal with the messages on his phone.
Xu Yousheng cooked a small pot of apple and yam porridge and fried two light side dishes.
At the dinner table, she served him a bowl of porridge and said, "It's too late today, so just eat something."
Qin Yanxiu took a look and it looked pretty good.
He took a sip of porridge first, then picked up some vegetables. Meeting Xu Yousheng's expectant eyes, he raised his eyes slightly and said, "It's okay, not bad."
Xu Yousheng curled her lips: "That's good."
Qin Yanxiu looked at her beautiful face and asked, "You are a good cook. Have you practiced cooking?"
"No," Xu Yousheng said with a smile, "I used to help cook at home when my grandfather went out to sea to fish. Later, I cooked more and more, so I just learned it naturally."
This seemed to be the first time she mentioned her family. Qin Yanxiu raised his eyelids and glanced at her without asking any further questions.
Xu Yousheng didn't say much. She was not a talkative person, and besides, Qin Yanxiu might not like to listen.
This was the first time they were alone together like this without doing anything like that.
She watched him eat quietly, and they would occasionally talk about things on the crew. She cherished such a warm and rare moment.
After Qin Yanxiu finished his meal, Xu Yousheng cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen and prepared to leave.
"You should have a good rest and remember to eat on time." She paused, "I'm going back first."
Qin Yanxiu did not keep her. After she left, he looked at the extra bread, fruit and milk on the table. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a barely perceptible emotion flashed in his eyes.
Come and make him a meal and leave.
Do you really think you are the snail girl?
----
On Friday's variety show, Brother Dong repeatedly urged Xu Yousheng to perform well. After all, this was her first time participating in such a variety show. He even asked Qin Yanxiu to take care of her a little.
Knowing that Qin Yanxiu was troubled by these things, Dong Ge even humbly requested: "You don't need to take care of her too much, just don't let her get into trouble, and help her out when she might get into trouble."
Qin Yanxiu's answer was ambiguous: "It depends on my mood."
Xu Yousheng didn't have much hope. She was just a nobody and was only there to make herself known. She didn't have any chance to show herself.
Although she had already rehearsed, the enthusiasm of the audience on the day of recording still exceeded her expectations.
Qin Yanxiu hasn't recorded a variety show for a long time, except for the first two years after his debut. After that, he basically only filmed movies. And now his popularity is so high that he no longer needs to participate in these shows.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, the audience screamed and the host had to speak several times before he could control the situation.
This variety show is very popular among the people and is very entertaining. Many TV series and movies want to be on the show to promote themselves.
Xu Yousheng wore a white jacquard chiffon dress, her hair slightly curled and pinned with pearl barrettes on either side. With her light makeup, sculpted features, and pure temperament, she exuded a light and graceful beauty.
She was the last one to introduce herself. When the host handed her the microphone, she reached out to take it, curled her lips, and said in a light voice: "Hello everyone, I'm Xu Yousheng, and I play Li Xun in the play. I hope everyone will support our drama "Prisoners of Lies"."
Next was the group game session. Everyone's attention and most of the shots were on Qin Yanxiu and the heroine. Xu Yousheng just stood quietly by, occasionally having a chance to speak a word or two.
When it came to the game of grabbing stools, everyone was already having a great time.
Everyone sways to the music and performs designated movements. Once the music stops, they have to find a stool to sit on. Those who don't have a seat will be eliminated.
The first two rounds were normal, but in the third round, when everyone rushed forward, Xu Yousheng accidentally tripped and suddenly fell to the side.
The sudden change left everyone stunned. Just as Qin Yanxiu was about to step forward, the young male host standing in front of Xu Yousheng bent down and helped her up: "Are you okay?"
Xu Yousheng curled her lips: "It's okay, thank you."
She turned to look at the others' worried eyes and said softly, "I'm fine, you guys should be careful too."
Qin Yanxiu's gaze fell on the host's hand that was supporting her, and his eyes sank slightly.
This little episode passed quickly, and Qin Yanxiu was eliminated in the next round. He sat back at the side, and the male host was still whispering to Xu Yousheng whether he needed a rest or a check-up.
Xu Yousheng could sense his kindness and smiled: "I'm not hurt, I just didn't stand firmly."
The host gave a few more instructions, and Xu Yousheng nodded with a smile.
On the side, Qin Yanxiu looked at the two heads that were about to touch each other, with a dark look in his eyes.
After Xu Yousheng finished speaking, she sat up straight and felt the strong gaze from the side. She subconsciously turned her head and met Qin Yanxiu's heavy gaze, which seemed to be a little... unhappy?
Xu Yousheng was confused. She glanced at the field and saw everyone still fighting for the last stool. She then looked at Qin Yanxiu's cold profile and felt a little bewildered. Was it because they lost the game?
She didn't think much about it, and it was not convenient for her to ask in front of so many cameras and audiences, so she didn't notice.
Halfway through the recording, the teams needed to regroup for the next game. However, when reselecting, Qin Yanxiu changed a card, and the final pairing result was him and Xu Yousheng.
The host was a little confused. This was not the arrangement in the script, but when he met Qin Yanxiu's deep eyes, he didn't say anything, and the director asked him to continue.
Although Qin Yanxiu came to participate in the program for the promotion of the drama, his participation was enough to make the ratings of this episode soar. With the status and capital, they could only try their best to adjust.
In this part of the game, two people need to tie their feet together and run a three-legged race on a foam mat. They also need to complete tasks in the middle. The team that completes the tasks and the shuttle run first wins.
Everyone changed their clothes. Qin Yanxiu and Xu Yousheng stood together, and the staff tied their legs together. Xu Yousheng took a deep breath. She didn't know if she felt guilty, but she was a little nervous being so close to so many people.
There was a twenty-centimeter height difference between the two, and their strides were also inconsistent. Xu Yousheng pursed her lips and said softly, "Let's take the outside foot first and run forward while shouting slogans."
Qin Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but had no objection.
After the host called out "start", everyone rushed forward with all their might. Their steps were consistent and not chaotic, but the inflatable mat was very slippery and it was easy to fall after running a few steps.
Xu Yousheng slipped, and just when she thought she was going to fall again, a big hand suddenly wrapped around her waist. Qin Yanxiu picked her up and she fell into his arms.
The screams from the audience seemed to pierce the eardrums.
Xu Yousheng's eyes widened, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Qin Yanxiu didn't loosen his grip on her waist. He glanced at her sideways and said with a slightly parted lip, "Hold tight. I don't want to lose."
"Oh, okay." Xu Yousheng quickly put aside the thoughts of avoiding suspicion and reached out to hug his waist, but her fingers only tightened his clothes.
After passing through layers of obstacles and running back, Xu Yousheng's strength was almost exhausted. Qin Yanxiu practically carried her back. Seeing her panting slightly, he curled his lips slightly and said with disdain: "Your strength is still so low."
Xu Yousheng widened his eyes and subconsciously looked at the camera. Fortunately, Qin Yanxiu was facing away from the camera at the moment, so he probably didn't get captured saying anything. Even if he did, it could be edited out later.
Qin Yanxiu didn't miss the momentary fear in her eyes. His radiant peach blossom eyes raised slightly, and his voice was lazy: "You are useless."
Xu Yousheng's heart was in her throat because of his words one after another. Was he really not shy at all?
Fortunately, the game ended quickly, otherwise, with Qin Yanxiu's reckless style, she might have had heart problems.
