Love (forty-eight)
That night, the girls chatted for a long time and didn't fall asleep until after midnight.
When Ruan Qi woke up the next day, the live broadcast had already started. The audience saw Ruan Qi sitting up in bed and greeted her.
【Good morning, Soft Baby! 】
[Good morning, what the hell?! It's almost 11:00 AM, and you're still saying good morning? How late did Ruan Qi and the others chat last night? They were so sleepy.]
[The baby who just woke up is so cute, his little face is so rosy, I want to kiss him! ]
Ruan Qi hasn't come to her senses yet.
She sat on the bed in a daze, with two hairs standing up on her messy hair, her beautiful peach blossom eyes were misty, and she blinked slowly from time to time.
At this moment, there was movement in the bed next to me. The motionless quilt arched, and Ji Beibei, who had a messy head from sleeping, crawled out from under the quilt.
"Hmm...what time is it..." Ji Beibei closed her eyes and randomly touched the pillow with her hands.
Seeing that she couldn't find her phone for a long time, Ruan Qi slowly took her own phone from the bedside and took a look.
"Ten fifty."
Ji Beibei said sleepily, "Ten fifty..."
After the words were spoken, the bedroom was silent for two seconds.
Then, Ji Beibei suddenly shuddered and opened her eyes: "What time is it?! Ten fifty?!"
"Yeah," Ruan Qi yawned again, "It's almost noon."
"We actually slept until noon?!" Ji Beibei hurriedly climbed out of bed, still mumbling, "It's over, it's over. We actually slept so late while filming the show. Will we get scolded?"
A common problem among traffic artists – fear of being criticized.
Whenever you are in front of the camera, you have to think for several seconds beforehand even if you want to burp. If you are not careful, you will be picked on by a bunch of people.
When Ji Beibei first became famous, she was scolded every day, and she was almost stupid. Over time, she developed a habit of being cautious in front of the camera for fear of making mistakes.
Ji Beibei got up in a hurry and started looking for clothes all over the house.
Her movements were a bit loud, and Lan Lan and Ge Mei, who were in a light sleep, opened their eyes sleepily when they heard the sound.
"What happened to Beibei? Is it on fire?"
Seeing Lan Lan about to get up, Ruan Qi immediately went over to help her and explained to the two of them, "No. We got up a little late, and Sister Beibei was worried."
Ge Mei lay on the pillow, touched her cell phone and checked the time.
"It's almost eleven? We actually slept until noon?"
"You slept late last night." Seeing that everyone was awake, Ruan Qi got up, walked to the window and opened the curtains.
The bright sunshine instantly poured into the room, and a new vibrant day began.
Ruan Qi opened the window, took a deep breath of fresh air, and stretched hard.
Just then, her cell phone on the cabinet rang.
It is Xi Jiu’s special ringtone.
Ruan Qi immediately walked over and answered the phone.
Xi Jiu's deep and pleasant voice came from the receiver: "Baby is awake?"
Ruan Qi was in a good mood when she heard the man's pleasant voice right after getting up. She curled her eyes and said to the phone, "Jiujiu is so accurate. You called me right after I got up."
Xi Jiu on the other end of the phone chuckled.
"It's not calculated, I've been watching the baby's live broadcast."
[I can prove this! Mr. Xi got up at 5:30 this morning, went out for an hour, and when he came back he started watching the live broadcast in Ruan Qi's room, and he's been watching it until now!]
Not only Xi Jiu, but Shi Su Silin was also watching the livestream. Men without wives were like left-behind children, staring at the livestream eagerly.
Without the presence of any female guests, this morning's livestream was truly dull, okay? Shi Su was constantly playing chess, Si Lin was constantly playing games, Master Xi and Young Master Cheng were constantly cooking in the kitchen, and Wang Leke, the only one with a bit of spirit, was dragged into the kitchen by them to try out some dishes. She was practically crying.
[Tsk, a man without a wife is so miserable.]
Ruan Qi had no idea what happened this morning, but she could already imagine how Xi Jiu had been staring at his phone before she woke up.
Thinking of that scene, Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing, and her tone became softer.
"Did Jiujiu sleep well last night? Did you miss me?"
"I thought about it." Xi Jiu said bluntly, "I didn't sleep well last night. I couldn't sleep without the baby."
Although the phone was not in speakerphone mode, Ruan Qi's face still turned red with embarrassment.
She covered the phone tightly with her hand as if to cover up, to prevent any sound from leaking out.
"I miss Jiujiu, too," she whispered to Xijiu, "I'll go back to the bedroom to wash up in a while, Jiujiu wait for me."
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Qi and the others rested in bed for a while, then returned to their respective rooms with their quilts.
Ruan Qi pushed open the bedroom door and just as she walked in, a tall figure came over from behind.
He pulled the quilt out of her arms, threw it onto the sofa, then reached out and hugged her tightly in his arms.
The familiar cold fragrance lingered at the tip of her nose again. Although they had only been apart for one night, Ruan Qi felt as if they had been apart for a year.
She hugged the man's waist with her backhand, leaned her face against his strong chest, and rubbed it gently.
"Jiujiu, I'm back."
The little girl's voice was soft and small, and Xi Jiu felt a tingling sensation in his heart.
He held her arms a little tighter, buried his head in her shoulders, and took a deep breath of the girl's warm and sweet fragrance.
"I miss my baby so much."
Xi Jiu, like an addict, buried his head and continued to absorb the fragrance of Ruan Qi. His broad shoulders held Ruan Qi tightly in his arms, their bodies pressed tightly together, leaving no gap.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all green-eyed.
[Oh my god, the difference in size is incredible. Mr. Xi's body can actually cover Soft Baby completely, without revealing anything at all!]
Look at Mr. Xi's arms. He's holding Ruanbao with such strength that veins are popping out. If this wasn't a livestream, he'd probably have already carried Ruanbao to bed by now, right?
[These two clearly didn't do anything, so why do I feel like my face is turning pale? Their sexual tension is so strong, real couples are really the best!]
[Master Xi, stop sucking! You're about to make my Soft Baby bald! Be more restrained and stop making those weird noises!]
Xi Jiu didn't make any strange noises. He just hugged Ruan Qi, buried his head in her shoulder, and breathed a little heavily.
However, when the slightly heavy breathing sound was transmitted to the live broadcast room through the microphone on the collar, its tone gradually changed.
Everyone's face turned pale after hearing this, and a hundred trains were running through their minds every minute.
Fortunately, just as the comments in the live broadcast room became increasingly strange, Ruan Qi's stomach rumbled in a very unconventional way.
In the quiet bedroom, the little girl's stomach made a rumbling sound.
Xi Jiu, who was immersed in sucking his wife, immediately woke up.
"Baby, are you hungry?" He let go of Ruan Qi and his eyes fell on her flat belly.
From ten o'clock last night until now, Ruan Qi has not eaten for nearly thirteen hours, and now he is indeed a little hungry.
She touched her stomach sheepishly and asked Xi Jiu in a low voice: "Jiujiu, is there anything to eat downstairs? I'm so hungry."
Xi Jiu suddenly didn't care about anything else and was left with only heartache.
"My brother and I made a lot of food. Baby, go wash up first. After that, we'll go downstairs and eat together."
——
When Ruan Qi finished washing up and went downstairs with Xi Jiu, breakfast was already set on the dining table.
Ge Meilanlan, Ji Beibei and the other two girls had just finished cleaning up. They sat at the dining table, waiting for their partners to serve them food.
Seeing Ruan Qi coming down, everyone greeted him.
"Xiao Qi, come and have dinner. Today's breakfast is so rich, all Chinese food, and even plain noodles."
Ruan Qi glanced at the Yangchun noodles in front of Ge Mei, and her heart moved. She immediately turned her head to look at Cheng Jinyan who was standing at the kitchen door.
She remembered that Cheng Jinyan said last night that he would make Yangchun noodles for her today.
So, the plain noodles in front of Ge Mei are...
"I made it." Cheng Jinyan saw what Ruan Qi wanted to ask, curled his lips, and said with a faint smile, "I promised you last night that I would make Yangchun noodles. I happened to have plenty of time this morning, so I made a bowl for everyone."
Only then did Ge Mei realize that the Yangchun noodles were actually made by Cheng Jinyan, and she couldn't help but look up in surprise.
"Mr. Cheng can even make plain noodles?"
"Xiao Qi loves it, so I learned from the chef for a few days." Cheng Jinyan said, taking out the Yangchun noodles that had been warming in the pot and gently placing them in front of Ruan Qi, "Xiao Qi, try it. Is it delicious?"
Ruan Qi was so hungry that she was starving. When she saw the steaming noodles, she immediately picked up her chopsticks and took a big bite.
The chewy noodles are brought into your mouth with the clear and fresh soup. The rich aroma of onions and oil mixed with the aroma of noodles bursts in your mouth. It is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow your tongue.
Ruan Qi's taste buds were conquered at once.
"Delicious, super delicious!" She was busy eating noodles and could only free up one hand to give Cheng Jinyan a thumbs up.
Cheng Jinyan's indifferent eyes were instantly filled with smiles.
"If it tastes good, eat more. There's more in the pot."
Ruan Qi nodded hurriedly and slurped the noodles.
At this moment, Xi Jiu went to the kitchen and brought out two plates of side dishes.
"Baby, this is the pickled radish I made this morning. Would you like to try it?"
Yangchun noodles with pickled radish, this combination is simply amazing.
Ruan Qi immediately raised his head, picked up a piece of radish and put it in his mouth.
It’s sour, sweet, and slightly spicy, very appetizing and goes well with rice. It’s absolutely delicious!
Ruan Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
“Delicious! Perfect with plain noodles!”
After Ruan Qi finished speaking, she couldn't help but take another bite of noodles, and then took a bite of pickled radish.
Ruan Qi ate so much that she almost wanted to bury her face in the bowl.
The other girls couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food and started to eat with relish.
Xi Jiu and the other men had already finished their meal and were now sitting at the table, picking up food for the girls and chatting.
"What are you doing this afternoon? Does the production team have any plans?"
"Yes. The director wants to see Mr. Ruan catch fish in person, so this afternoon's itinerary is to go to the fish pond."
Ji Beibei, who was eating, immediately looked up when she heard this. "Going fishing again today? Great! I get to see Ruanbao show off her prowess again! Mr. Cheng and Mr. Wang, you haven't seen Ruanbao catch fish, right? Yesterday morning, she caught over 100 kilograms by herself! Incredible!"
Cheng Jinyan and Wang Leke really didn't know about this.
Hearing Ji Beibei say this, everyone looked at Ruan Qi in surprise.
"Sister Ruan, you can catch fish too? You caught over 100 kilograms by yourself? That's awesome!"
"Xiao Qi is really good." Cheng Jinyan said proudly, "I'm also interested in fishing. Xiao Qi will teach me later."
City people rarely have the opportunity to catch fish, so when they heard that they were going to go fishing together, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
Ruan Qi was eating and chatting with everyone. At this time, Lan Lan, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly raised her head and glanced around.
"Is Jiang Hengda not back yet?"
Because of what happened last night, everyone deliberately didn't mention Jiang Hengda in order to avoid embarrassment.
Now that Lan Lan brought it up on her own initiative, everyone no longer had any concerns and started chatting along with her.
"He hasn't come back yet." Si Lin reported the information he had gathered this morning to the girls. "The director called Mr. Jiang over eighty times last night, but he didn't answer. Finally, as a last resort, the director called Jiang's parents directly."
Ge Mei: "And then? Was the person found?"
"Found him." Si Lin nodded. "The director explained the situation to Jiang's parents, and they immediately sent someone to look for Mr. Jiang. We finally heard they found him in a bar. He was drunk and refused to come back, so a friend of Jiang's parents took him to a hotel."
In fact, Si Lin only said half of it, and he was embarrassed to say the other half in front of the camera.
When Jiang Hengda's parents' friends found him at the bar last night, he was indeed drunk. But he wasn't drinking alone; he was holding two women.
According to the director, the two women were probably special service staff in the bar. And the place where Jiang's parents' friends found Jiang Hengda was not in a booth in the bar, but on a bed in a private room of the bar.
Everyone knows the answer to why a drunk man and two women providing special services are in the same bed.
But considering Lan Lan's mood, Si Lin didn't say it explicitly. But Lan Lan knew Jiang Hengda's character so well, how could she not guess what he did last night.
If it were in the past, Lan Lan would definitely be extremely sad.
But ever since her love-brain disappeared last night, Lan Lan no longer felt sad about love. Even if Jiang Hengda drank too much at the bar, or even had a naked party with a group of people of the opposite sex, Lan Lan wouldn't be sad at all.
"It's good that he's found her." Seeing that Lan Lan didn't look sad, Ge Mei continued to ask Si Lin, "Will he come back? Are we really not going to record the show?"
Si Lin: "That should be the case. This morning I heard the director talking to Jiang's parents about liquidated damages. I guess Mr. Jiang won't be coming back."
No one cares whether Jiang Hengda comes back or not.
On the contrary, if he really didn't record, everyone would be happier.
But without Jiang Hengda, Lan Lan was left alone. Although there weren't many tasks requiring two people in the next few days, Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu, and the others were all paired up, leaving Lan Lan alone, which was a bit desolate.
"That's easy." The director who pushed the door open and walked in heard everyone's conversation and immediately smiled.
He glanced at Wang Leke and Cheng Jinyan and announced a decision that made everyone very happy: "There are still three days left in this episode. I discussed it with Mr. Cheng and Mr. Wang, and they decided to stay here for a few more days and go home with everyone after the show is over."
Here we come!
