Extra Five Romance Series (Part 3)
Ruan Qi blushed and glared at Xi Jiu angrily.
Xi Jiu reacted and chuckled softly.
"It seems that the baby slept well last night. Have a shrimp dumpling, don't be angry." He whispered to comfort her, while picking up a shrimp dumpling and putting it in Ruan Qi's bowl.
Ruan Qi snorted, ate the shrimp dumplings, and asked, "Have you packed your luggage?"
"I've packed it." Xi Jiu drank his sweet porridge slowly and said, "There are three suitcases in total. Let's check them again before we leave to see if we left anything behind."
Xiao Yuan, who had been eavesdropping not far away, could no longer bear it and interrupted their conversation.
"Um... did Mr. Xi pack all the luggage?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi answered truthfully with a smile, "Jiujiu has been in the military camp and is very good at storage and organization. Every time we go out, he is responsible for packing."
Xiao Yuan exclaimed, "Wow!", quite surprised: "I thought Master Xi didn't know these things."
"Jiujiu can do everything," Ruan Qi praised Xijiu generously, "cooking, housework, and packing, he's amazing!"
When the little girl praised someone, her eyes sparkled. Xi Jiu couldn't help but turn his head to look at her and smiled silently.
Xiao Yuan was really shocked.
Do all the domineering CEOs of top wealthy families adopt this style now?
Cooking, housework, and packing are things that many ordinary men can't do, but Mr. Xi can do it all?!
Xiao Yuan realized this was a big attraction and immediately asked, "Master Xi can actually cook? Does he cook on weekdays?"
"Yes." Ruan Qi nodded. "During the days I was in the hospital, he often prepared special meals for me."
Xiao Yuan: "What about housework? Do you do it regularly?"
"It depends." Ruan Qi answered truthfully, "Jiujiu is too busy at work. He often gets up early and goes to bed late, and doesn't even have time to eat. The housekeeping aunt usually does the housework at home, but he often helps me clean my room."
"Your room? Your bedroom?"
"Yeah." Ruan Qi gave Xi Jiu a teasing look and said to Xiao Yuan, "Jiu Jiu doesn't like others touching my things. So as long as he has time, he is the one who cleans my bedroom."
Xiao Yuan didn't expect that Xi Jiu, who looked cold, was actually a jealous person with a strong possessiveness. He couldn't help but scream in his heart that he was screwed.
The audience in the live broadcast room also had smiles on their faces.
Whether it's cooking special meals for Ruan Qi or personally cleaning her bedroom, it feels so good. These two are so sweet!
[Sisters, did you see that? Someone who truly loves you won't make excuses to be lazy. Saying things like 'I'm busy, I don't have time, I'm too tired from work' is all bullshit! Even when Mr. Xi is so busy, he still finds time to do housework. So whether a man wants to work or not depends entirely on whether he has the heart!]
You're absolutely right! My ex-boyfriend never did any housework, saying he was too busy at work and tired. Damn it! Who isn't tired at work? Do I deserve to work during the day and then be your housekeeper at night? Break up with him!
The issue of housework resonated with countless female friends. While watching the live broadcast, everyone complained about various weird men in the barrage.
For a time, the popularity of Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu's live broadcast room rose rapidly.
——
After breakfast, it was time for Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu to set off.
The third season of Lovers' Romantic Days consists of four episodes, each lasting seven days. This means Ruan Qi will be away from home for seven days before returning.
Everyone in the family was very reluctant to let me go.
Grandma Ruan held the little girl's hand and reminded her worriedly, "Xiaoqi, take good care of yourself when you go out. Stay with Laojiu and don't get lost."
Grandma Ruan always felt that her granddaughter was still young and was afraid that she would be left alone and abducted by human traffickers.
Ruan Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and softly coaxed the old woman: "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely follow Jiujiu closely and bring myself back safely."
On the other side, Ruan Fengmian and Ruan Munan, father and son, were talking to Xi Jiu.
"Have you brought everything? Did you bring any thick clothes?"
"I brought it." Xi Jiu took out the luggage list and handed it to Ruan Fengmian for inspection. "I brought three sets of thick clothes and thick pants, and snacks for Xiaoqi as well."
Ruan Munan: "I heard from the host that you're going to a coastal country with a humid climate. Do you have any hot packs or anything?"
"Yes. I brought them all. It won't make Xiao Qi feel uncomfortable."
Ruan Munan was still a little worried, so he snatched the travel list from Ruan Fengmian's hand and checked it carefully.
Ruan Fengmian stood aside and muttered to himself.
"Xiao Qi has just recovered. Can she handle being away for seven days? She has a Chinese stomach, and I don't know if she can adapt to the food there. What if she has trouble acclimatizing? Vomiting and diarrhea will be very uncomfortable. How about I take a few days off and go with her?"
Xi Jiu:?
Is the dating variety show going to become a parent-child variety show?
Xi Jiu was afraid that Ruan Fengmian was serious, so he quickly turned his head to look at Yang Liu beside him.
Yang Liu raised her hand and slapped Ruan Fengmian.
"Why are you causing trouble? They're participating in a dating show, what are you doing there? Broadcasting the father-in-law and son-in-law's romantic day to everyone?"
"..." Ruan Fengmian was successfully disgusted by Yang Liu's words.
What kind of romantic days can there be between him and Xi Jiu?
There is only a life of mortal enmity between them.
The interaction between the Ruan family was transmitted to the live broadcast room through the camera.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were all laughing.
[Before the livestream, I thought the Ruan family was serious, steady, and obsessed with luxury. The Ruan family they actually are is down-to-earth, daughter-obsessed, and henpecked.]
"Dad Ruan is exactly like my dad. Every time I leave for a long trip, my dad always nags me, as if I'll be kidnapped by human traffickers if I leave the house."
The Ruan family's interactions are so loving. I love this kind of family. No wonder Ruan Qi has such a good personality, because the Ruan family gives her enough sense of security and care!
The Ruan family said goodbye at the door for nearly ten minutes before Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu finally got into the program crew's car.
Under the reluctant gaze of the family, the business car started slowly and left the alley with high walls and red tiles.
Inside the car, Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu sat side by side in the third row. In front of them were the cameraman and the host Xiao Yuan. In the front row were the driver and another staff member.
Xiao Yuan turned his head and looked at the young couple sitting in the back.
Ruan Qi sat by the window, and Xi Jiu sat on the outside. There was plenty of space in the back row, but Xi Jiu sat close to Ruan Qi, their hands always holding each other.
The cameraman's camera moved across the two men's hands and then landed on their faces.
"It takes more than 40 minutes to get to the airport from here. Teacher Ruan, Mr. Xi, let's play a game." Xiao Yuan suggested.
Live streaming all day requires a controlled rhythm. If there are too many blank spaces during the live broadcast, the popularity will drop.
In order to keep the show interesting, the host must interact more with the guests and do more liveliness.
Ruan Qi knew the intention of the program team and agreed to cooperate.
"Okay, what game?"
Xiao Yuan: "I ask, you answer. We'll randomly pick questions from viewers in the livestream, and Teacher Ruan and Master Xi will answer them."
Ruan Qi glanced at Xi Jiu, and seeing that he had no objection, she said, "Of course you can. But will some of these issues violate the rules? What if the live broadcast room is blocked..."
"No, no." Xiao Yuan waved his hands quickly. "Don't worry, we're a serious show and won't ask questions that are too inappropriate. If you draw a question, just pass it and choose again."
This way, Ruan Qi felt relieved.
She took Xiao Yuan's phone and prepared to take a screenshot to draw the first question.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room is about to take off.
[Choose me, choose me! I want to ask Mr. Xi—did you and Softbao do it?!]
[Hahaha, the sister above is so bold! Master Xi will block your account immediately!]
[I'm not afraid of laziness. I don't ask for much, I just want Soft Baby and Xi Ye to read a passage from their fanfiction on the spot!]
[Isn't that asking for too much? Are those fanfictions you read serious fiction? If anyone reads them, the livestreaming channel will be blocked for ten thousand years!]
All kinds of unreliable comments are flooding the screen.
Ruan Qi blushed and found it funny, while pressing the phone to take a screenshot.
"It's been intercepted." She returned the phone to Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan clicked on the screenshot, took a look at it, and smiled.
"The first comment on this screenshot is: I want to ask Mr. Xi, is this your first love with Ruanbao? When was your first kiss?"
[Who asked this question? It's too innocent! Why not something more exciting?]
[First kiss! Will Mr. Xi tell us? ]
Xi Jiu's aura seemed too cold, and not only netizens, but even Xiao Yuan was a little nervous, fearing that he would think the question was too extreme and refuse to answer.
But Xi Jiu's emotions were much more stable than they thought.
He glanced at the question and nodded calmly: "It was my first love. Our first kiss was in Xiaoqi's bedroom."
Xiao Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
It's understandable that Ruan Qi was her first love, since she was young. But Xi Jiu was already 27, and it was also her first love?!
Xiao Yuan couldn't believe it, and for a moment he forgot his awe of Xi Jiu. He asked, "Is this Mr. Xi's first time in love? Have you never been in love before? Not even someone you liked?"
Hearing this, Xi Jiu turned his head and glanced at Ruan Qi with a smile in his eyes: "I have only liked Xiao Qi, and I only liked her before."
Xiao Yuan didn't understand what he meant and couldn't help asking, "What do you mean you liked her before? Didn't Mr. Xi and Xiao Qi meet in the entertainment industry?"
"No." Ruan Qi replied with a smile, "Jiujiu and I have known each other for ten years."
Xiao Yuan and the audience:!!!
We actually knew each other ten years ago?!
Xiao Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief. "Is this true? Ten years ago, Teacher Ruan was only about ten years old, right? How old was Master Xi then? Sixteen or seventeen?"
Xi Jiu smiled and said "hmm".
"Back then, my health wasn't good, so my family sent me to the countryside to recuperate. I happened to meet Master Beilou and Xiaoqi who were there for a free clinic."
Xiao Yuan exclaimed in shock.
"This is such a coincidence, isn't it?! And what happened after that? Did you grow up together?"
"No," Xi Jiu replied, "I was very gloomy and quiet at the time, so Xiao Qi always came to see me, and we stayed together for a while. But then something happened, and I lost contact with her. I've been looking for her all these years, and it wasn't until she came to the capital two years ago that we met again."
Xi Jiu spoke in a calm tone, but in a few words he expressed the ups and downs and hardships of the past ten years.
Xiao Yuan was almost stunned.
What kind of idol drama plot is this?
They met ten years ago and were separated for ten years. The man searched for her hard and finally they met again.
This, this is too delicious!
Xiao Yuan was a little excited and couldn't help asking Xi Jiu, "So, Mr. Xi started liking Teacher Ruan ten years ago?"
"Yeah." Xi Jiu nodded. "I liked her ten years ago, but it wasn't a liking for the opposite sex. Xiao Qi was only nine years old back then, so I wasn't that perverted."
The live broadcast room was instantly filled with laughter.
Xiao Yuan wanted to laugh, but he suppressed his laughter and asked, "So when did you start liking Teacher Ruan? After we met again?"
Xi Jiu: "Yes. I liked her the first time we met after our reunion."
Xiao Yuan didn't know how many times he let out a surprised "Wow——"
"Love at first sight?"
"I guess so." Xi Jiu's tone was light, but his eyes were gentle. "At that time, I didn't understand love. I just felt happy after recognizing her. I always wanted to find reasons to see her. I wanted to care about and understand everything about her. Later I realized that this is love."
There were no fancy words, nor did Xi Jiu express how deep his affection was. He simply described in a lighthearted manner how much he cared about Ruan Qi.
The netizens in the live broadcast room are all going crazy.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but smile like an auntie.
"You separated ten years ago, and now you're reunited. This proves it's fate. Even God wouldn't want to separate you."
Xi Jiu liked to hear these words very much, and for the first time ever, he looked at Xiao Yuan with approval.
"Thank you, you are an excellent host."
Xiao Yuan:!
[Hahahaha! Master Xi is killing me with laughter! Does he think everyone who says he and Ruan Qi won't break up is a good person?]
[Master Xi's criteria for judging a host: the ability to say auspicious words.]
They're so sweet. They met ten years ago, and reunited ten years later. After a ten-year search, they fell in love at first sight. This is so sweet! I'm about to get a high blood sugar!
Sweet love makes people envy. Everyone shouts "I'm so lucky" and sheds tears of envy.
Xiao Yuan recovered from Xi Jiu's praise and continued to ask him, "I didn't expect that Master Xi and Teacher Ruan were both first loves. What about their first kiss? Master Xi said it happened in Teacher Ruan's bedroom. What was the situation at that time? Can you tell me more about it?"
Everyone noticed that as soon as this question was asked, Ruan Qi glanced at Xi Jiu with a strange expression.
Xiao Yuan keenly sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"
"No, it's not convenient to talk about it." Xi Jiu secretly squeezed Ruan Qi's hand, and said calmly, "It's just that the first kiss I had was when I climbed over the wall and jumped out the window."
Xiao Yuan:? ? ?
"……What's the meaning?"
Xi Jiu: "When Xiao Qi and I were together, she wasn't even twenty yet, she was too young. My uncle and aunt hadn't come to the capital yet, so only Xiao Qi's brother knew about us. My eldest brother didn't agree, so I climbed in through her bedroom window in the middle of the night just to see Xiao Qi."
Xiao Yuan's mouth slowly opened.
"Climb through the window... Which floor did Teacher Ruan live on?"
"The second floor." Ruan Qi replied with a smile, "We were living in Yu Garden at the time. My brother kept a tight rein on Jiujiu and wouldn't let him stay home for long. Jiujiu had no choice but to jump over the wall and through the window."
Xiao Yuan:......
Are all the domineering CEOs from your top wealthy families so wild when they fall in love?
See you tomorrow~
