Chapter 35 The Little Drama Queen in the Romance Variety Show 8 - Shirt and Short Sleeves
Song Shiguang was no longer paying attention to the abundant fruit on the tree; he felt ignored.
At this moment, Yun Chiyi stared intently at Lin Qiao and Ling Ruohan's faces. She accepted his touch and kindness, letting him apply the milky white ointment to her delicate fingers.
Yun Chiyi would lower her head from time to time, looking shy and timid, which was a different kind of charm compared to Tang Yu.
Song Shiguang really wanted to know if she had no feelings for him at all now.
Why, and by what right...?
She shouldn't have cast those eager glances at me in the first place; she deliberately approached me and then intentionally distanced herself.
Yun Chiyi rubbed her fingers tenderly, then touched the spot where she had applied the medicated oil the night before: "Thank you."
Her eyes sparkled as she gazed tenderly at Lin Qiao, who remained unresponsive to her sudden, affectionate look.
Shen Zhouzhou stepped in and cut off Yun Chiyi's gaze: "Are we still picking jackfruit?"
Yun Chiyi stepped back half a step and sat on the tree trunk behind her: "I'm looking at the grass. It's almost half a person tall. I need to be careful to see if there are any snakes in there."
She made it clear she wasn't going to lift a finger. Since Shen Zhouzhou and Lin Qiao were on the same team, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to slack off openly. So, with a sullen face, she patted the jackfruit off the tree.
Jackfruit looks big and heavy; Zhouzhou felt tired just touching it.
Seeing that no one was making a move, and that Tang Yu's group would win spectacularly, Song Shiguang, being a highly competitive person, naturally couldn't bear to fall behind.
So Song Shiguang smiled and started encouraging everyone: "Let's rest later, we still need to eat lunch, otherwise if we lose, we'll have to eat jackfruit."
Upon hearing the sound, Yun Chiyi looked at Lin Qiaoyu, blinking her eyes like a little rabbit, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Lin Qiao didn't look at him, but went to pick jackfruit with Song Shiguang.
Shen Zhouzhou pushed the small bamboo basket to the middle, as if she had helped. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and silently moved to Yun Chiyi's side, who was hiding from the sun.
Yun Chiyi shook her head in amazement: "Look at those arms with such powerful muscles, he must be very disciplined."
She was talking about Lin Qiaoyu. Her arms, exposed by the short sleeves of her shirt, were slender and capable. Any more would make her look too strong, and any less would make her look too thin. Lin Qiaoyu's shoulder and back proportions formed an inverted triangle. Her gaze clearly swept over them several times.
Shen Zhouzhou said while drinking water, "You'll look even better after sweating."
Yun Chiyi nodded in agreement: "Half wet and half dry, a feast for the eyes."
The two looked at each other and nodded repeatedly, as if they had found a kindred spirit in each other.
[Extremely offensive language!]
[A lecherous man!]
[Why is the camera focusing on jackfruit? It's not like we're selling something. Show me Lin Qiaoyu's muscles!]
After a while, Yun Chiyi suddenly became excited: "It's wet."
Lin Qiaoyu wasn't deaf; because of the heat, and also because of their blunt discussions, the veins on his arm throbbed.
“I can hear you.”
Yun Chiyi shrank back in fright, covering her mouth with her fair hands: "I didn't say anything."
Her smiling eyes darted around playfully as she innocently turned her body to the side.
They only picked seven jackfruits, and then went to see who could pick the fastest from the next group. They dragged their feet for too long, and ended up being more than two minutes slower.
Yu Kexin and Lu Yiang, who failed to pair up yesterday, were all smiles. Being able to have a hearty lunch was more important than anything else.
A long table was set up on the beach, big enough for eight people to sit on. The two teams shared the sweetest jackfruit. Yun Chiyi got a small plate, and she tore off a piece to taste it.
Despite the fruit being sweet, Yun Chiyi found it tasteless at this moment.
It must be because of the aroma wafting from across the street. She stared intently at the golden crispy chicken, wondering who had cut it. Their knife skills were simply too good. Each small piece contained only meat and no bone, and one bite was bursting with oily fragrance.
There are also winter melon and shrimp balls; the broth looks light, but it must be incredibly fragrant when you taste it.
Seeing that she was staring intently, Gu Huai silently took out half of his lunch and placed it in front of Yun Chiyi.
Yun Chiyi was taken aback: "For me?"
Gu Huai nodded: "A light and refreshing taste is perfect for this time of year."
Yun Chiyi was deeply moved, her eyes glistening with tears. Just as she was about to pick up her chopsticks, Shen Zhouzhou took the plate away.
Since Shen Zhouzhou didn't get any good food, she wouldn't let her taste it: "I know you can't refuse Gu Huai's kindness, so I'll play the bad guy."
Yun Chiyi had already prepared the soup spoon, and she slammed it heavily on the table: "Actually, I didn't intend to refuse."
When she said it directly, it meant something else entirely. Lin Qiao and Song Shiguang, who were in the same group, were watching her closely, as if to say, "If you dare to eat it, you should think about the consequences."
Shen Zhouzhou handed the food back to Gu Huai: "She said she doesn't want to eat it."
Just a table away, Gu Huai witnessed their entire argument. As he slowly ate his lunch, he noticed that Yun Chiyi across from him had teary eyes and looked incredibly pitiful.
Yun Chiyi looked dejected, as if she had been bullied.
Sitting opposite Song Shiguang was Tang Yu. Tang Yu ate with elegance and grace, and only glanced at Song Shiguang once when she first sat down.
Song Shiguang's plate only had half a plate of cloyingly sweet fruit. Compared to the seafood porridge in Tang Yu's bowl, his white porcelain plate looked so shabby.
Yun Chiyi was starving and quickly finished the fruit. Noticing the subtle change in Song Shiguang's expression, she wiped her fingers with a wet tissue and a smile appeared on her lips.
The production team couldn't bear to let the guests who lost the competition go hungry for an afternoon, so they gave them some bread and seafood porridge near the end.
Yun Chiyi's dejected head suddenly perked up, and she tugged at Song Shiguang's sleeve without any hesitation: "I told you they weren't that bad."
Song Shiguang's brow twitched, and he stared at her hand.
Like a child who had done something wrong, Yun Chiyi hurriedly let go of her hand: "Sorry, we got a little too close, didn't we?"
It's not just a little, it's way too close.
She timidly withdrew her hand, quickly turning away and forgetting the embarrassment. With her two jade-like hands, she picked up a slice of bread and took a small bite.
This little incident caused Tang Yu, who was focused on eating, to look over and happen to fall on Song Shiguang.
At the dinner table, she looked at him a second time because of Yun Chiyi's intimate behavior.
After finishing her meal, Yun Chiyi prepared to go back for a nap.
Shen Zhouzhou followed closely: "Which one do you like?"
Yun Chiyi's lips curled up, a playful smile on her face.
She didn't give an answer, leaving Shen Zhouzhou to continue to speculate.
Immediately after, Lin Qiaoyu also walked over. Shen Zhouzhou turned around and bumped into him. A dark figure seemed to press down on him, and he didn't seem to be able to suppress his fierce aura.
Lin Qiao agreed to invest in the program and was willing to provide resources to Shen Zhouzhou because of her appearance.
Shen Zhouzhou is flamboyant and beautiful. It's rare to see someone her age with such mature beauty. Dressed in red and with fair skin, she has a wide range of roles to choose from if she enters the entertainment industry.
Furthermore, her friends assured Lin Qiao that as long as the camera focused on Shen Zhouzhou, she would definitely become famous and her value would double—a sure-fire deal.
But no matter how he looked at it, Shen Zhouzhou seemed to be doing nothing all day, his mind filled with nothing but following Yun Chiyi to do meaningless things.
Yun Chiyi's antics garnered her even more attention.
Shen Zhouzhou, however, did not receive the treatment of netizens wielding keyboards and furiously typing away.
Lin Qiao paused for only two seconds without saying a word, but Shen Zhouzhou kept his head down, his palms already sweating.
She had just made a bet with that man that even though she was as beautiful as him, he didn't like her, but plenty of other people did.
So, she participated in the dating reality show out of spite.
Who would have thought that Lin Qiaoyu was also on the show? Now she's in a dilemma, unable to back down and become the laughingstock of that person.
She looked up at the sky for a long time, thinking, "Whatever, I'm already here. I'll just go abroad to play after the show."
Thinking about this made her feel at least a little better.
Lin Qiao, regardless of whether he had frightened Shen Zhouzhou, sat on the bench under the eaves, his eyes calm as the distant sea surged.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yun Chiyi squatting by the roadside, her starry eyes fixed on Shen Zhouzhou, looking like she was waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
Shen Zhouzhou was unbearably hot, so she quickly walked to a shady spot, only to find Yun Chiyi squatting in the corner.
What are you doing here?
Yun Chiyi blurted out out of the blue, "I really want to eat watermelon."
Shen Zhouzhou: "Don't expect me to find it for you."
Yun Chiyi sat down on the ground, her soft, pear-white arms hugging her legs, her chin resting listlessly on her knees: "You're such a lazybones, I don't need you at all."
Shen Zhouzhou chuckled and said, "Yeah, I'm just lazy. This trick doesn't work on me."
Yun Chiyi patted the seat next to her: "Sit down."
Seeing her staring blankly into the distance, Shen Zhouzhou curiously sat down beside her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Yun Chiyi pursed her lips, shyly covered her face, and her ears instantly turned red: "No."
Something's fishy. Shen Zhouzhou followed her gaze and saw Song Shiguang surfing on the beach. Even though he was in close contact with the sea, he was still wearing a shirt.
His high spirits and superb skills naturally attract attention.
Shen Zhouzhou glanced at it casually and said, "Not very good."
Yun Chiyi was taken aback: "Why are you saying such things? If you can't appreciate it, it's because you have no taste."
Shen Zhouzhou sneered, looking at Yun Chiyi as if she were a pitiful little thing: "When you have the chance, I'll show you the world. Someone like him is just so-so."
She pointed her chin in Lin Qiaoyu's direction: "You really can't recognize good people. Take a good look at Lin Qiaoyu. Apart from his sullen face, how is he inferior to Song Shiguang?"
Yun Chiyi said seriously, "You're not allowed to put others down; it's a feeling."
Shen Zhouzhou disagreed: "Forget it, I feel like Song Shiguang is a scumbag."
Yun Chiyi: "..." So accurate.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhouzhou said indignantly the next second: "He seems to have good manners, but he's all slick and greedy, always wanting more than he has. What else could he be but a scumbag? I hate people like that the most. They think they're superior and look down on others."
She didn't even look at Song Shiguang. Yun Chiyi chuckled and said, "Wait, you're not talking about someone else, are you?"
Shen Zhouzhou remained silent for a few seconds, then waved his hand dismissively: "More or less the same."
Yun Chiyi couldn't stop laughing, clutching her stomach and pressing her back against the wall.
A white figure entered her field of vision. Tang Yu was holding frozen juice in both hands and looked at the two people who were playing around with confusion.
Are you telling a joke?
Shen Zhouzhou shut up; she couldn't very well say bad things about her date.
