Chapter 51 The Little Drama Queen in the Romance Variety Show 24: Candlelight
The dark sea surface revealed an endless expanse of blue.
Yun Chiyi sat on a small yacht, her date opposite her was Lin Qingsheng.
They were not far from the villa, and the people inside watched this scene with their own thoughts.
Tang Yu frowned. During their chat that afternoon, Yun Chiyi asked her if it was difficult not to swim. She replied that it was, and that the feeling of water getting into her lungs was very uncomfortable.
Yun Chiyi's figure was small, as if she were floating on the sea with the boat.
Tang Yu's mind was in turmoil for no reason. Ignoring Song Shiguang's gaze, she lowered her eyes and walked upstairs with her head down, intending to rest for a while.
Song Shiguang called out to her, "Tang Yu, are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Yu's brows relaxed a bit, and she looked at him calmly: "I'm fine, I'm a little sleepy, you guys have fun."
After several rejections, Song Shiguang stopped trying. He just asked politely, and once he finished, he turned his head back to look at the sea as if he had completed a task.
Tang Yu went upstairs, actually intending to read for a while first.
There was another person upstairs, but Lin Qiaoyu's door was closed, and she didn't hear him make a sound.
On the sea, a gentle sea breeze blew, and Yun Chiyi poked at the gourd-shaped glass dome that was shrouded in candlelight with her finger.
The warm yellow light illuminated her face, making it appear as white as snow, and her eyes were as clear and bright as a child's.
Lin Qingsheng sat opposite her, opened the wine bottle, poured some into her glass, and set out dessert.
"Not planning to say anything?"
Yun Chiyi lifted her eyelids: "What topic do you want to talk about?"
Lin Qingsheng didn't mince words: "Let's talk about Lin Qiaoyu."
Suddenly, Yun Chiyi parted her rosy lips slightly and smiled: "You're brothers, you know him well enough, why do you still need to talk about him?"
Lin Qingsheng swirled her wine glass: "Just because I'm familiar with him doesn't mean you understand him. Do you really know what kind of person he is?"
Yun Chiyi picked up a knife and fork and started cutting the steak, cutting it into small pieces without putting any in her mouth: "That's true, we've only known each other for a short time, we're practically strangers."
There were live stream cameras nearby, and upon hearing Yun Chiyi's comments, the viewers all picked up their keyboards.
Are strangers dancing arm-in-arm?
[She had a fever, and he carried her home because they weren't close?]
[Even while sitting on the back of a bicycle and holding him, he's still a stranger?]
[I don't understand, do you think the new guests don't watch the live stream? You can't flirt with newcomers by putting down the old ones!]
Yun Chiyi glanced casually at the comments; what they were saying was nothing.
She and Lin Qiao even shared a deep kiss.
She chopped the meat on the plate into minced meat, which made everyone lose their appetite.
She looked up, her smiling eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight: "Didn't we say we were going to talk about Lin Qiaoyu? Come on, why haven't we started yet?"
Once you actually get to know her, you realize that what the live stream camera shows is only the better side of Yun Chiyi. On screen, she is spoiled, loves to laugh, and often speaks to people in a sweet tone.
The person was right in front of Lin Qingsheng, his mischievous demeanor radiating an unusual brilliance, completely different from how he appeared on camera.
Lin Qingsheng asked her, "What do you want to hear?"
Yun Chiyi crossed her arms: "Anything is fine, I want to hear about everything he says."
Lin Qingsheng retorted, "Interested in the private affairs of strangers?"
Yun Chiyi nodded frankly: "Because I'm not familiar with him, I want to know more. Let's start from when he was in junior high school. What did he look like in his school uniform? Did he look well-behaved? What kind of hairstyle did he have? Was it long or short? I think it looks better with longer hair. His features are more defined, and short hair would be too fierce."
She seemed to be talking to herself: "Judging from his current appearance, he must have loved studying in his school days. He probably would have a long face all day if he did poorly on a test. If he had received an award from school, where would he have put it up? On the wall in his room, or maybe he would have found a big file folder and neatly tucked it inside."
Lin Qingsheng followed her words and fell into memories.
Lin Qiaoyu, who was in junior high school, did indeed do these things; she actually guessed them all correctly.
Yun Chiyi's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she used a spoon to scoop up the shredded steak and eat it.
"Why is it all me talking? I'm just imagining things, it doesn't count. Tell me something."
Inside the villa, Shen Zhouzhou had already started cracking sunflower seeds.
Yu Kexin moved a stool and sat down by the door: "What are they talking about? Yun Chiyi seems very happy. It must be because she gets to spend time alone with the new guest. What a great opportunity, one that we can't even get."
Shen Zhouzhou said, "I don't want to at all, don't drag me into this."
She had no desire to be associated with Lin Qingsheng at all; seeing was believing, and he was even more detestable than she had imagined.
She's not as good-looking as Lin Qiaoyu. Even if Yun Chiyi is just playing around, she shouldn't have chosen someone more handsome.
Shen Zhouzhou subconsciously turned to look upstairs, only to find three people standing behind her, blocking her view.
Oh, the men abandoned by that heartless woman Yun Chiyi have become statues of longing for their wives.
Shen Zhouzhou shrugged and went to the refrigerator to find ice cream. As he bent down to look for something, he heard a buzzing sound coming from the wooden ceiling.
Without a doubt, Lin Qiaoyu couldn't sit still any longer.
Lin Qiao went downstairs and sat directly on the chair that Yu Kexin had moved over.
Yu Kexin turned her head and there were no seats left. She stammered for a while, and when she saw Lin Qiao's face was as black as hell, she decided not to argue with him.
Lin Qiao's gaze passed over the beach and coconut grove, landing on Yun Chiyi's back.
Or, let's pack Lin Qingsheng up and send her away tonight.
After not seeing him for several years, he has become even more annoying.
On the yacht, Yun Chiyi laughed so hard her shoulders shook, her fair shoulders more graceful than the moon.
Her toes touched the bottom of the table, and her laughter lacked any elegance. Her messy long hair kissed the tip of her nose, and she laughed even more heartily.
But Lin Qingsheng found it strange that she laughed like this when he mentioned Lin Qiao and drank milk without making a sound.
Is she really mentally sound?
After laughing enough, Yun Chiyi looked at the silent person opposite her and said, "Why did you stop talking?"
Her voice was soft and sweet, like it was filled with nectar, but her words sounded like those of Lin Qiaoyu.
"Why did you stop talking? Are you tired of talking, or is your hand too painful to speak? I don't understand, you don't speak with your hands..."
Lin Qiao's youthful voice echoed in Lin Qingsheng's ears, and even after so many years, it was still so clear.
Seeing that he looked unwell, Yun Chiyi leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Does your hand hurt?"
His hand? It was broken by Lin Qiao when they fought.
Lin Qingsheng suddenly noticed that he was tightly hugging his right arm with one hand, as if the pain he had suffered there had returned.
"It's nothing, it's probably just too windy."
Yun Chiyi said "Oh," and glanced at the time on the table: "It's time to dance."
Lin Qiao, standing on the shore, checked his watch. It was almost over. He got up and walked towards the beach. Two hours could have felt so long.
Yun Chiyi could laugh so heartily.
What is she laughing at...?
Over there, Yun Chiyi stood up and invited Lin Qingsheng, "I'm inviting you today."
Lin Qingsheng smiled faintly: "There's no reason for a girl to take the initiative to ask someone out."
Yun Chiyi didn't care at all: "I'm in a good mood, it doesn't matter."
Her outstretched hand was pink and looked warm.
That's right. She laughed for so long just now, and there was a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead, so you could say she exercised.
He touched her hand, and she swayed backward. Lin Qingsheng didn't even see where she moved, only that her snow-white arm reached out onto his shoulder, her body nimbly turned half a circle, and her soft fingertips pushed forward.
Yun Chiyi's hand brushed against the candle on the table, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Watch out!"
"thump--"
Lin Qingsheng fell into the sea.
The people on the shore panicked, and the scene became chaotic and disorganized.
"Someone has fallen into the water!"
It was too dark, and the lights on the yacht were dim, so they couldn't see who was in the sea.
Lin Qiao, who was almost on the beach, strolled leisurely after hearing the shouts, until...
Someone shouted again, "It's over, Yun Chiyi has fallen too!"
Then, Yun Chiyi's cries for help came right away: "Help! I can't swim!"
Before Lin Qiao could react, she had already quickened her pace and plunged headfirst into the water.
Then someone shouted anxiously, "Lin Qiaoyu has jumped into the water!"
Hearing the noise, the people in the villa ran towards the beach one after another.
Three people falling into the water is no small matter.
[What's going on? What's going on? It's pitch black and I can't see anything!]
[Oh my god, I can't hear Yun Chiyi's voice anymore, I hope something's happened.]
[She fell while dancing! What safety measures did the production team take?! That was terrifying! I hope she's alright!]
The undulating tide was about to drown out Lin Qingsheng's voice; he couldn't swim, or perhaps he had forgotten that skill.
That morning, during his first year of junior high, Lin Qiaoyu was learning to swim. Lin Qingsheng added red ink to the pool, intending to scare him, but Lin Qiaoyu instead threw him into the water, pouring in chicken blood from the kitchen as well. In Lin Qiaoyu's bamboo basket were also lively bullfrogs and eels, which were for making soup that night.
Lin Qingsheng had to admit that the emotion he felt in the pool at that time was terror.
Lin Qiaoyu was no longer the stepson He Xin had bullied; he was now a lurking hunter. Lin Qiaoyu had not grown into the refined and modest modern gentleman He Xin had hoped for. His methods of teasing were more ruthless, and he had nothing to do with being easygoing.
Soon, Lin Qingsheng was pulled ashore by the staff. He sat on the ground, panting heavily, spitting out salty seawater, his eyes still a little dazed.
Everyone arrived nearby and anxiously asked, "Where is Yun Chiyi?"
Lin Qiao hadn't seen Yun Chiyi yet. He circled the yacht once, and behind him, splashes of water erupted. Warm arms embraced him from behind, and a familiar scent whispered in his ear.
Are you looking for me?
Lin Qiao turned around and looked at her smiling eyes: "Are you crazy? If you didn't fall, why did you jump down?"
Yun Chiyi said, "Because I saw you looking for me."
Lin Qiao helped her onto the yacht, then climbed up.
Yun Chiyi wrung the water out of her hair: "Where's Lin Qingsheng? Was she pulled out?"
Lin Qiaoyu: "What happened?"
She said, "I don't know, maybe he's uncoordinated. He not only fell down on his own, but he almost pulled me down with him."
He saw an indescribable joy in her eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder about the cause and effect.
Yun Chiyi said, "It's so cold."
Before asking her what happened, Lin Qiao took off her coat and was about to cover her with it when she dodged away.
"No, it's wet."
He forced the covers on and even buttoned them up, saying, "It's better to catch a cold."
She looked at him and smiled, and for no apparent reason, his eyes turned cold.
"Are you happy?"
She answered ambiguously, "Yeah, look, my date fell into the water..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qiao lifted her chin and pressed her lips against hers in front of the camera.
[Though I'm dark-skinned, I'm not blind!]
My phone's brightness worked itself to the bone for me!
[They kissed?! This is insane!!!]
