Chapter 16 The handsome one is his childhood sweetheart, the ugly one is his fellow villager.



As Xu Qi was racking his brains trying to figure out how to refuse without getting beaten up, Ji Qian had already squatted down and pulled a large bundle out from under the bed.

Xu Qi looked closely and realized that the pattern on the bundle was exactly the same as the half-finished curtain in his room. He had thought it was a design by the production team!

"When did you take it?!"

"I just grabbed it when you passed out yesterday."

Ji Qian felt no remorse whatsoever. If she hadn't taken the curtains away, where would the food be now?

Ji Qian untied the bundle, and the supplies stuffed inside spilled out. From sausages to self-heating pots, from braised chicken feet to potato chips, all kinds of instant food were available, making Xu Qi's eyes light up.

In addition, it also contains daily necessities such as mosquito repellent and disinfectant.

Xu Qi grabbed two packs of wet wipes, then picked up a self-heating hot pot: "How much meat is in this?"

Ji Qian didn't know either, but said, "Open it and see. If there aren't many, there might be some intestines here."

Just keep spoiling him.

【What should I do, family, I think I've hit a jackpot!】

It's sweet!

Eating everything will only make my nutrition more balanced.

No way! Mom doesn't approve of this daughter-in-law!

Anyone will do, as long as it's not Ji Qian!

[Xu Qi belongs to Mimi! The Magical Night is the best!]

【You get out of here too!!!】

While the comments section was still debating who would get Xu Qi, the self-heating hot pot had already been set up.

Watching Ji Qian skillfully break sausages into the self-heating pot, Xu Qi couldn't help but sigh, "You've had a tough few years; you've even learned to cook."

"Hey, it's all about making a living, there's no other way."

Wow! This is a truly shocking move.

[They're both bold enough to say it and bold enough to believe it!]

If this counts as cooking, then Mi Yesi can be considered a goddess too.

Lin Xiao, your insults are really sophisticated now!

After finishing her meal, Han Mengyao rushed upstairs to find Ji Qian. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ji Qian and Xu Qi sitting around a self-heating hot pot, arguing over who got the last piece of luncheon meat.

"Can't you two cook another serving?"

"I can't eat so much at night, it's a matter of self-discipline for a star." Xu Qi's face was flushed from the spiciness, and he kept hissing. Han Mengyao looked at his sausage lips and felt that he was talking nonsense.

"What about you? You can't eat that much either?" Han Mengyao turned to look at Ji Qian, who was in much better condition than Xu Qi: "I think it tastes better when we fight over it!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Qian took advantage of Xu Qi's dizziness from the spiciness, snatched the luncheon meat from his chopsticks, and stuffed it into her mouth with lightning speed, making Xu Qi so angry that he snapped the disposable chopsticks in his hand.

After cleaning up the food on the ground, Han Mengyao pulled Ji Qian to go out and find the director, but she couldn't walk any further after taking just one step.

Han Mengyao turned to look at the culprit, Xu Qi, who was lying on the ground, clinging tightly to Ji Qian's leg: "Sister Qian, can you hug me one more time?"

Han Mengyao didn't know what had just happened, and when she heard this, her gaze towards Ji Qian instantly became strange.

Ji Qian hadn't noticed anything was wrong: "What? You've become addicted?"

Xu Qi didn't deny it: "I always felt really safe when you did this before. It was too short just now, Sister Qian, please hug me again!!"

[Everything looks dirty to the heart—to myself]

Is this really something I can listen to?

[“Previously” “Every time”]

Did I just miss something in the plot?

[This is so embarrassing! Xu Qi, stand up right now!]

[Hey, stop struggling, Xu Qi's ears are all red.]

That's spicy!!!

Han Mengyao felt like she was going blind. Were these two going to start something right there on the spot?!

Ji Qian's next move instantly dispelled her worries. She bent her knees slightly, reached her left hand to scoop up Xu Qi's knees, and lifted him up with a swift motion: "Alright, let's go."

Han Mengyao looked at Ji Qian, who had a sunny and innocent face, and then at Xu Qi's butt, which was right in front of her. She didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Okay...okay, let's go."

Ji Qian carried Xu Qi out of the room, down the corridor, and escorted him to his own door.

"Alright, get down!" Ji Qian patted his bottom with practiced ease, and Xu Qi straightened up and jumped off Ji Qian's shoulder. The whole operation was smooth and fluid, as if he had practiced it countless times.

Han Mengyao watched in stunned silence. She had previously thought that Xu Qi and Ji Qian were not familiar with each other, but now it was clear that they were far too familiar!

Xu Qi's agent, who was watching the live stream, gritted his teeth in frustration. Just as he was about to call Director Liu, he received a call from Liu Xia: "Hey, did you watch the live stream? I warned you before not to let the two of them appear on the show together. I have the recordings and screenshots."

Besides, you know that Ji Qian, Xu Qi, and I all came from the same orphanage, right? I still have quite a few photos of Xu Qi wetting the bed and rolling around when he was little.

The kids are all grown up now, it's time for them to develop their own careers, right? You can't rely on a persona forever!

Besides, Xu Qi has already started his own business, so he's practically your boss. I believe you'll make the right judgment about this, right?

A barrage of criticism left Xu Qi's agent dizzy, his mind filled with curses, but he still had to force a smile and say, "Yes, yes, Sister Xia, you're right."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qi's agent stared at Director Liu's phone for a long time, but in the end, he didn't press the button.

After sending Xu Qi back to his room, Han Mengyao pulled Ji Qian toward the director's office.
