Chapter 234 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (27)
He pursed his thin lips tightly.
If He Suining came here alone...
The thought crossed his mind for a moment, and then he got angry.
The voice sounded calm, like the calm before a storm: "Want to hold me while we slide?"
"Okay."
He Suining gave a perfunctory reply, then suddenly froze, wondering if she had misheard.
He stiffly raised his head, picked at his ear, and asked, "Brother, what did you say?"
“I said, everyone else is using a scooter, so our Sui Sui should have one too.” We can’t let Sui Sui envy others.
[So many handsome guys! (ˉ﹃ˉ)]
[Are the girls in Tianjin eating this well? You guys are really good at hiding it! Is it too late for me to buy a plane ticket now?]
[Yo yo yo, it's mine, tsk tsk tsk.]
[Oh my god! I was secretly hoping for this, but I didn't expect Brother Qin to actually want to carry me while we skate! Great, great!]
He Suining smiled.
Although I wanted to say a few polite words in my heart, I said the truth: "Okay, thanks bro. You're in much better shape than them!"
Qin Huaichen looked at her intently for a few seconds.
Her face radiated sincerity, and it didn't seem like she was faking it.
He then smiled happily.
He kicked her skis away and picked her up in his arms.
Caught off guard, He Suining hurriedly wrapped her arms around his neck, and he tightened his arms, firmly imprisoning the petite girl in his embrace.
Those gazes that had been directed at us finally disappeared.
Qin Huaichen was satisfied.
With my head down, I caught a whiff of her delicate, pleasant floral scent. I felt like I'd smelled this fragrance somewhere before. I couldn't quite place it, but it smelled wonderful.
Addictive.
It suits her very well.
I don't know if it's perfume.
He Suining blushed.
She couldn't see if her face was blushing, but she could feel it burning. Soft strands of hair, as he moved, accidentally brushed against her cheek.
Some even brushed against his face.
He Suining looked up at his serious expression and couldn't help but smile.
This person is really interesting.
After skiing, he even carried her in a princess carry. It was such an ambiguous thing, but after he did it, it became serious and earnest.
but.
She actually found it quite appealing.
but.
He Suining clearly understood this.
It wasn't the action itself that made her feel moved, but rather the person who did it.
She smiled.
She gently rested her cheek against his shoulder, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck. The force was just right, but Qin Huaichen seemed to be burned, his breathing becoming heavy.
He glanced at her quiet smile briefly.
He couldn't help but smile, and continued to pull her into his arms tightly, holding her close.
Her weight was to him.
It was as light as cotton, yet it landed heavily on the tip of his heart.

"Wow, how romantic." Shen Que propped his chin up and watched the live broadcast on TV. Even through the screen, he could feel the atmosphere between the two of them.
A hint of envy flashed in her eyes.
Qin Ge is probably the only one in this dating reality show who either doesn't choose anyone or directly chooses Ning Ning.
Ningning is lucky, but she deserves it.
but.
After speaking, Shen Que glanced guiltily at Shen Tan sitting next to him.
Everyone says Shen Tan is gentle and easy to talk to.
They sat there eating sunflower seeds and watching the live stream, but didn't say a single word.
Also.
A gentle person.
Her crush was going on a date with another man, and they were hugging and kissing on a live stream. She imagined herself in Shen Tan's shoes and felt like she was going to vomit blood.
She thought it was amazing that Shen Tan could sit here so nonchalantly.
Next.
The screen flashed.
Suddenly, they arrived at Su Niannian and Meng Shile's place.
Now it was Shen Tan's turn to watch with great interest, while Shen Que was extremely frustrated and had to cheer up again.
Su Niannian is exhausted.
She set off much earlier than He Suining, but the journey took her a long time. She traveled from Tianjin to a neighboring county, and the scenery kept changing along the way, becoming unfamiliar instead of familiar.
If there weren't so many people here.
She even began to suspect that Meng Shile had gone mad and was trying to abduct her.
My butt hurts terribly after sitting in the car for almost two hours.
finally reached.
Su Niannian got out of the car with Meng Shile and curiously looked around at the surroundings.
This place is definitely not as good as the city. "Where is this?"
"This is my hometown. Come on, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Meng Shile smiled at her.
Su Niannian could only force a smile and follow him.
This time we didn't go too far.
We stopped at a roadside stall.
Like Qin Huaichen, Su Niannian was a local of Tianjin. She saw many people carrying stools, placing snacks on them, and squatting down to eat. There were also tables and chairs along the roadside, but they were all occupied.
She was about to break down.
Meng Shile isn't going to take her to eat this kind of thing, is he?
Su Niannian thought Meng Shile would take her out for a romantic candlelight dinner, but it turned out to be a roadside stall. And he even drove two hours to get there just to eat at a roadside stall.
Is Meng Shile out of his mind?
"Boss, a bowl of beef offal soup and a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, please."
Meng Shile ordered his food and looked at Su Niannian excitedly, "Niannian, there's a menu on there. Order whatever you like. I'm afraid you won't like what I order."
Su Niannian is now in a difficult situation.
She gave an awkward smile.
Looking at the menu, it was all noodles or soup, which didn't look appetizing.
Su Niannian comes from a relatively well-off family.
Although she occasionally orders takeout, it's mostly from restaurants similar to those in hotels. As for barbecue, she goes to barbecue restaurants in big cities with her friends.
She had never eaten anything like this before, squatting on the street without any regard for her image.
Not used to it.
I don't want to eat.
Who knows if it will cause an upset stomach?
With so many cameras filming, she didn't know what to say, so she casually replied, "I'm the same as you."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Meng Shile's eyes.
He nodded, ordered again from the owner, found a seat, and took two chairs.
Although there are many people.
But the boss was quite fast.
Beef offal soup and noodles with soybean paste were served.
Meng Shile handed over the chopsticks, "Try it, it's delicious. I've been eating it since I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it to you."
Su Niannian reluctantly squatted down in her high heels.
I'm glad I didn't wear a skirt just to look pretty, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to squat down.
She picked up a piece of noodles with soybean paste and put it in her mouth.
The taste wasn't as bad as she had imagined; it was indeed quite good, just as Meng Shile had said.
But she really wasn't used to squatting here.
Everyone around me was talking.
"Is it tasty?"
Su Niannian nodded, "The taste is quite good, and the soup is also very delicious and rich."
Meng Shile finally smiled a little more happily.
She ate very slowly.
Meng Shile ate quickly and heartily. "When I was little, I liked to squat here after school and eat before going home. I didn't dare tell my mom because I was afraid she would scold me for being greedy and wanting to eat when it was almost time to eat."
Back then, many classmates would secretly buy things from the food stalls.
It's impossible to squeeze in.
Many stalls are gone now.
Meng Shile recently discovered that even the stalls outside the school gate have disappeared. He learned that the school now has everything inside and students are not allowed to leave.
Over time, the stalls outside realized they weren't making any money and shut down.
That feeling from my childhood is gone.
"I see..." Su Niannian glanced at the camera cryptically.
She knew what she should say, such as offering words of comfort.
But she had never experienced anything like this before and didn't know what to say.
"I always ate at home when I was little." Her family had everything they needed, and her parents bought and kept snacks for her because they loved her.
Her close friends come from similar family backgrounds.
Naturally, they wouldn't crowd into a food stall.
Meng Shile nodded.
He quickly finished his food, glanced at Su Niannian, and saw that there was still a lot left in her bowl. "If you can't finish it, you can give it to me."
Su Niannian was stunned.
Meng Shile realized he had said something inappropriate and quickly explained, "I just didn't want to waste food, please don't misunderstand."
She gave an awkward smile.
I really can't eat anymore.
Since he asked, Su Niannian handed him the bowl, saying, "I can't eat anymore."
Meng Shile finished his meal in a few bites.
He stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Shall we go back?"
Driving two hours just to eat here? That's insane.
Su Niannian felt sorry for her feet.
To everyone's surprise, Meng Shile shook her head. "No, I'll take you to a candlelight dinner."
She was stunned.
Her eyes immediately lit up, and her cheeks flushed slightly. "Really?"
"Ah."
Meng Shile looked at her and smiled.
Her smile looked no different from usual, but she still felt something was off.
Something is missing.
As a result, they sat there for another two hours.
Even the comments section was full of question marks.
[Although I dislike Su Niannian, Meng Shile is a bit unreliable.]
[If someone gets carsick, they'd probably be vomiting until they faint.]
[I don't understand what Meng Shile is trying to do. Compared to this, the couple next door are so sweet.]
Meng Shile was not lying.
After taking Su Niannian back to Tianjin, he went to the best Western restaurant.
Without ordering fine wine, a meal would cost tens of thousands of yuan.
"Ah Le, thank you."
Looking at the dim candlelight, Su Niannian felt that Meng Shile's already handsome face became even more beautiful.
I had a great date today.
Meng Shile isn't bad either. Since Shen Tan doesn't like her, she can just find someone else.
Besides, she has offended other people now, so someone has to share the burden with her.
After the dating reality show ends, whether or not they stay together is ultimately up to her.
Meng Shile ate each bite of steak with great care. This steak was bought with money, and he wouldn't stop eating it just because he was angry.
"The money I spent today is roughly what I've saved up since graduation."
Su Niannian's expression froze, and she secretly clenched her knife and fork.
She raised her eyes and looked at him innocently.
What does Meng Shile mean by this?
They've managed to pull off this victim act on her.
Surely she shouldn't be expected to split the bill.
She has no money, and even if she did, she wouldn't split the bill.
"Ah Le." Su Niannian cursed him inwardly for being stingy, her good impression from before vanishing in an instant. "You're so young and capable, and a graduate of a prestigious university, your future is limitless. I believe this money is nothing, you'll earn it back soon."
Meng Shile did not respond to her this time.
Instead, he stared at Su Niannian with an indescribable look, making her feel uncomfortable.
She forced a smile, then lowered her head and continued eating.
The atmosphere then became very strange.
Meng Shile remained silent. She tried several times to find a topic to talk about, but he brushed her off each time.
It was only then that Su Niannian realized this.
If Meng Shile hadn't kept agreeing with him, they wouldn't have been able to even have a proper conversation.
how so.
[They've already hugged over there, just short of a kiss, why is the atmosphere so weird?]
[Sure enough, everyone becomes strange when they encounter Su Niannian.]
[e=(′o`*))) Sigh, Meng Shile looks so pitiful. I hope Su Niannian won't cause him any more trouble.]
[Does anyone understand? I was totally shipping them, and now it's a bad ending.]
The candlelight dinner is over.
Su Niannian held her breath until she saw Meng Shile pay the bill and they leave the Western restaurant, only then did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Meng Shile was sensible and didn't ask her to split the bill.
We left the hotel and returned to the RV.
The car drove towards the cottage.
Meng Shile, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly said, "You'd better buy some medicine to wipe the red marks on your face."
Su Niannian was overjoyed.
It turns out he cared about himself.
I don't know why he got angry; men's hearts are truly unfathomable.
She covered her aching face, thinking about the slaps He Suining had given her, and shuddered in fear. It was no exaggeration.
She was genuinely afraid of He Suining.
Who knew she would start hitting me so suddenly, completely disregarding what others thought? It was terrifying.
Moreover, she was very strong, and she hit her until she was dizzy and disoriented.
Su Niannian had never suffered such a loss in her entire life, and she got angry just thinking about it.
"Sigh." Su Niannian touched her face, looking delicate. "I'll go back and get some medicine from the first-aid kit to apply it. Ah Le, you and Sui Ning have a good relationship, could you help me explain to her?"
She turned around and gently placed her hands on the back of Meng Shile's hands.
Meng Shile glanced down.
She shyly withdrew her hand, as if she had acted unintentionally in her haste. "I really didn't mean it. There was an argument in the comments section, and I was afraid it would affect the show, so I said that. I never said Sui Ning bullied me..."
Meng Shi laughed, "So, it's the netizens who are as stupid as pigs."
“Yeah…uh, no.” Su Niannian chimed in.
That's what she really thought.
These stupid netizens are like clockwork, always changing their minds, one minute they're doing this, the next they're doing that.
Isn't that just as stupid and dull as a pig?
But she couldn't say that. She knew Meng Shile was straightforward and didn't know how to hide his feelings, so she smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "What are you saying? I just think that netizens have misunderstood me, which has led to Sui Ning misunderstanding me as well. Everyone has misunderstood me."
"She hit you, aren't you angry?"
Su Niannian burst into tears.
She burst into tears without hesitation, as if she didn't care about the cost. "It hurts a lot, but I know Sui Ning must be really angry. Well, if I were wronged like that, I would be very angry too."
The car suddenly stopped.
Meng Shile opened the car door, didn't answer her, and walked out directly.
After stepping out.
The afternoon sunlight fell on him, and it wasn't so glaring anymore.
But it wasn't exactly warm either.
He turned his head, and Su Niannian looked at his profile, half in sunlight and half in shadow.
