Chapter 56
Qin Su poured the last of the water into her own cup before returning the empty pot to Gu Chiyan.
Hearing the commotion, Xue Jianxing quickly asked, "Are you finished drinking? It's alright, I'll brew another pot. Or would you like something else to drink?"
Qin Su: "I also want to drink watermelon juice."
Xue Jianxing said, "Great! Fu Bai just bought a watermelon, I'll juice it for you in a bit."
Qin Su turned to look at her, her cheek pressed against the sofa, and said with difficulty, "But I also want to drink lemon water."
Xue Jianxing readily agreed: "I'll do it all."
Qin Su smiled and said, "Thank you, Xingxing."
Not everyone can withstand her laughter.
Xue Jianxing's hand slipped, and the cleaver "duang" cut into the cutting board.
"No, you're welcome." She quickly lowered her head again.
Gu Chiyan, who was sitting on the sofa, was also stunned.
The comments section was silent for a second, then erupted into a heated discussion.
[Wow, Qin Su's smile is so beautiful! Help! Help! Help me!]
[Daily Question: Is Qin Su really not going to debut as a female celebrity?]
Why do I suddenly feel like Qin Su and Xue Jianxing have a lesbian vibe?
[Report! Gu Chiyan is stunned! He's absolutely stunned! His eyes are glued to Qin Su and he can't take them off!]
Is the sweet couple Gu Chiyan and Xu Shishi going to break up?
What are Qin Su and Gu Chiyan's names? Are they a "natural beauty couple"?
Ah, men.
Please understand, most people look better in real life than on camera. Qin Su is so beautiful on screen, so the impact she has in real life is only stronger.
It was just a fleeting moment, don't overthink it. I firmly believe the Salt & Eating CP (couple) will never fall!
Qin Su didn't notice Gu Chiyan. She thought for a moment and asked, "But Xingxing, you still have to cook today. Aren't you too busy?"
Xue Jianxing: "It's okay, it's all very simple."
"That's not good, is it?" Qin Su said. "Chi Yan and I drank so much, it's not good if we don't do any work."
She said, "Making lemon water is very simple, let Chi Yan make it."
Qin Su naturally turned to Gu Chiyan again: "What do you think?"
Gu Chiyan's gaze was still fixed on her. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Okay."
Xue Jianxing smiled and said, "Thank you, Su Su. I'll make the watermelon juice then."
Gu Chiyan cut two slices of lemon, then suddenly realized, "What's so good about it?"
Why did Qin Su take the initiative, yet he was the one doing the work? And Xue Jianxing even had to thank Qin Su?
What's bizarre is that he actually listened to Qin Su?
Jin Xiao was the second to last to return.
He greeted a few people and went upstairs to put away his clothes.
As I walked down, I passed by Qin Su from behind and accidentally caught a glimpse of her phone screen.
Jin Xiao blurted out, "Are you playing 'Throne of Gods'?"
"Yes." Qin Su was at a crucial moment, staring at the screen, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing much." Jin Xiao's expression was a little strange.
He stood there watching for a while, and when he saw Qin Su win in the end, he praised, "Good awareness."
Qin Su raised an eyebrow, showing no modesty whatsoever: "Of course."
“But you made a few small mistakes.” Jin Xiao’s professional instincts kicked in, and he couldn’t help but speak his mind, sitting across from Qin Su and analyzing her actions just now.
Qin Su didn't take it seriously at first, but after listening to him say a few words, she gradually became serious.
Seeing that she was listening, Jin Xiao became even more interested.
The two of them decided to play a game together.
Cheng Fubai brought the fruit plate over to Qin Su, who took a couple of bites and then pushed it to Jin Xiao.
Jin Xiao didn't even look up, and said to Qin Su, "Thank you."
Cheng Fubai: "..."
Gu Chiyan sliced lemons, added honey and ice, and brought it back to the living room, asking Qin Su, "Would you like some now?"
Qin Su didn't take the pot, but placed the two cups beside him.
Gu Chiyan assumed she wanted him to have one cup for himself and one cup for him, so he filled both cups.
As a result, after Qin Su finished taking one cup, she naturally pushed the other cup to Jin Xiao.
Would you like some lemon water?
Jin Xiao was thirsty, so he picked up the glass, took a sip, and said gratefully to Qin Su, "Thank you."
Gu Chiyan: "..."
Qin Su didn't do anything, so why are they all thanking her?
Xu Shishi was the last to arrive home.
She considered that she and Gu Chiyan were already mutually attracted, so she naturally sat down next to Gu Chiyan.
Seeing Qin Su and Jin Xiao playing games together, her eyes flickered.
"Are you tired today?" she asked Gu Chiyan softly. "I was a bit busy today, so I came back late."
Gu Chiyan said, "It's alright, tomorrow is Saturday, I can take a break."
Xu Shishi smiled and said happily, "Yes, it's finally Saturday. I'm going to sleep in."
"Oh, tomorrow's Saturday, it's my turn to cook," Jin Xiao suddenly said. "Should Su Su cook with me?"
Qin Su said, "Yes, it's me."
Jin Xiao asked, "What are you planning to do? We can go buy groceries beforehand."
Qin Su said, "Anything is fine."
Jin Xiao laughed without giving him any face: "Is it because you can't do anything?"
Qin Su glanced at him: "No, it's that I can do anything."
Jin Xiao didn't believe it: "With your spoiled young lady look..."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew he had said the wrong thing.
He thought to himself, "Oh no, Qin Su is definitely going to be angry," and quickly looked up at her, saying, "That's not what I meant."
Qin Su did look unhappy, but she didn't seem angry either.
She snorted and said with dissatisfaction, "Who do you think you are? I'll make something that will surprise you tomorrow."
Her expression and tone were both very subtle.
Anyone can tell she's unhappy at a glance, but it doesn't make people afraid to approach her; instead, they can't help but want to go over and cheer her up.
Even Xu Shishi couldn't help but glance at her again, not to mention Jin Xiao, who was talking to her.
Jin Xiao felt numb on one side of his body, and a strange, inexplicable itch stirred in his heart.
He himself didn't realize that his attitude was more compliant than ever before: "Okay, okay, then I'll be your assistant."
Qin Su rolled her eyes at him: "I don't even need you to be my assistant."
Jin Xiao took it as her saying it in anger.
After all, it's obvious to everyone that Qin Su is a pampered young lady raised in a wealthy family, someone who has never lifted a finger to do housework, so how could she possibly know how to cook?
It'll probably be Jin Xiao who does the cooking, and she'll just help with washing the vegetables and handing over the seasonings.
Their back-and-forth conversation went unnoticed by themselves, but to outsiders it looked like flirting.
Xu Shishi couldn't quite describe how she felt.
She glanced at Gu Chiyan, who was reading a book with his eyes down, and leaned closer to him: "Chiyan, what are you reading?"
Gu Chiyan was so engrossed in his book that he didn't hear Xu Shishi's question and continued to stare intently at the page.
Xu Shishi was a little embarrassed and was about to ask again when Qin Su answered for her: "It's a business biography."
Xu Shishi was stunned, alarm bells ringing in her mind: "How did you know?"
Qin Su said, "I've seen it."
Gu Chiyan looked up: "You're interested in this too?"
Qin Su: "It's so-so, I've only read this one before."
Xu Shishi bit her lip, looked at Qin Su, and then at Gu Chiyan.
When she spoke to Gu Chiyan, he seemed lost in thought and didn't answer. But as soon as Qin Su spoke, he immediately noticed.
She was just a little late; did something happen that she doesn't know about?
