Chapter 226 The Beautiful Vase vs. the Stiff and Rough Man (19)
Qin Huaichen saw a pretty girl not far away waving and running towards him with a bright smile.
The leg that had already stepped out was silently retracted.
She's always like this.
It came toward him without warning, both before and now.
It's as if the relationship between the two people has always been this good, from the past to the present.
Qin Huaichen had been watching her for a long time.
With his hands behind his back, he watched her draw intently.
His expression was indifferent, but his eyes held a hint of tenderness and longing.
Then he saw Shen Tan approaching him, her slightly tall figure naturally blocking her view.
Qin Huaichen frowned.
He didn't know what they were saying, but he was upset and took two or three steps.
Then he saw her happily running towards him with the painting in her hand.
"Brother, look!" He Suining ran up to him holding up the painting, just like a little sister, proudly showing it off to her brother.
He felt a strange sense of joy.
But then I felt like nothing was right.
This conflicting emotion left him so confused that he awkwardly avoided her eyes, taking the painting and glancing at it a few times.
He can not understand.
I don't understand painting.
Shen Tan understands.
However, he could tell that it was drawn very well.
Qin Huaichen nodded. "It's very well drawn. You like drawing, have you had any formal training?"
He Suining shook her head dejectedly.
He made no secret of his family background, saying, "Brother, you know. My family used to be in a very bad situation. My mother struggled to raise me, so how could she let me study? I learned to draw because I love it, and I learned it by following some free tutorials on websites after I grew up."
She swayed her body, looking charming and adorable.
It looked like it had grown a tail, which was wagging wildly everywhere, "Hehe, I'm pretty awesome, right?"
Her adorable appearance.
Qin Huaichen's hand twitched; he really wanted to reach out and pat her head.
I am the older brother.
Why can't I touch it?
Just do it.
Qin Huaichen found an excuse for himself, raised his hand and ruffled her hair, "You're really amazing, I..."
He seemed to realize something, and just as he was about to speak, he fell silent.
He Suining tilted her head and looked at him in confusion.
Seeing that he really didn't intend to continue, she didn't bother to ask anymore, guessing it wasn't anything important.
Qin Huaichen carefully put the painting away and placed it in his pocket.
She glanced at it a few times, a slight smile playing on her lips, but said nothing.
"Brother, are you planning to abstain from the second round of voting?"
Hear his question.
Qin Huaichen nodded without hesitation.
However, if they all abstain, wouldn't they end up dating again?
His eyes flickered slightly at the thought of this possibility.
He Suining stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
She knew this would be the result; no one else would deliberately abstain, so if she abstained, she would still be paired with him.
She remained silent for a long time.
Qin Huaichen frowned. "You won't vote for Shen Tan in the second round, will you?"
"Ok?"
What did she do to give everyone this misconception?
She had clearly already distanced herself from Shen Tan, hadn't she?
She pointed to her own nose, "Me?"
It looks especially like an emoji.
Qin Huaichen's dark pupils stared at her with a gloomy expression, revealing his bad mood. "Shen Tan is not suitable for you."
"Hi."
He Suining speaks her mind and hates silence. She waved her hand and said, "I don't plan to choose him. I don't like him anymore."
Qin Huaichen's complexion improved somewhat.
He suddenly covered the microphone.
See this scene.
Knowing he had something private to say, she quickly covered her microphone.
Qin Huaichen leaned closer to her, and when his deep black eyes looked at her, she had the illusion that she was someone he cared about, because he was so focused on her.
"You're too young, you're not allowed to have a relationship. It's just a dating show, just treat it as fun, understand?" After saying that, recalling her rebellious behavior before, she frowned, her voice lowered and became much more serious, "If you dare to have a relationship, I'll tell Auntie."
What?
My mom knew I was on a dating reality show, and she even encouraged me to date more.
If you knew, you'd be furious.
Old-fashioned.
I thought all parents in the world didn't want their children to date.
hum.
Times have changed, bro~
He Suining's mind was filled with a multitude of thoughts.
However, she still appeared obedient to Qin Huaichen, saying, "Okay, right, brother, how about we cooperate?"
He looked at her with a puzzled expression.
She beckoned with her finger.
He remained bent over, moving even closer.
He Suining put her hand on his shoulder and leaned close to his ear.
He was afraid she would fall.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched her slender waist, his fingers holding it. Through the thin fabric, he could feel the warmth of her waist and its soft texture.
"In the second round of voting, you abstain and I vote for you. In the third round, we do it the other way around. This way, we can circumvent the rules, and the production team definitely won't be able to react. If we all abstain in the second round, I suspect the production team will treat this as a bug and fix it."
indeed.
The production team will absolutely not allow someone to keep giving up, even though they are still a couple and it's quite interesting.
But after seeing it a lot, it just becomes the same old thing.
The key is to force them to vote.
However, He Suining didn't want to choose anyone else; she thought Qin Huaichen would definitely do the same.
She didn't care whether or not she chose Qin Huaichen.
But he's a very rigid person, and he definitely felt that she couldn't be chosen casually.
His identity is that of the older brother.
How could I "date" my sister?
have to say.
He Suining really understood Qin Huaichen's psychology perfectly; that's exactly what he was thinking.
and so.
Qin Huaichen agreed with her method.
They, as siblings, definitely cannot date or be in a romantic relationship, not even if it's fake.
However, if one party abstains and the other party chooses, there will be no problem.
We can still stay together.
Qin Huaichen bent his fingers and gently tapped her full forehead. "Smart."
Hey.
He Suining rubbed her forehead, which didn't actually hurt, and smiled foolishly, though she was incredibly shrewd inside.
"Walk."
After Qin Huaichen finished speaking, he released the microphone.
He reached out and touched her fingers.
He pulled back as if he'd been electrocuted, tugged at her clothes, and said, "Don't you like painting? I'll take you to an art exhibition."
"Okay."
[What exactly is it that I, as an SVIP, don't understand?]
[Wake up, this is a live broadcast, it hasn't been edited into a program yet.]
[Does anyone know lip reading? It's urgent! Where are all the shippers/couples?!]
[Although the rest of the story is unclear, did anyone notice that Qin Huaichen was jealous at the beginning?]
[Yo yo yo~ You wouldn't choose Shen Tan, would you~~ Brother Qin, I can smell your jealousy even through the screen.]
[No, really nobody thinks they knew each other before. It's only been a few days, how can it be 'you know what you know,' and 'I don't know what you don't know'?]
The discussion in the live chat was lively.
The director couldn't stop smiling as he looked at the backstage statistics.
The hottest couple right now is Qin Huaichen and He Suining; most of the comments are about them.
The second couple is Meng Shile and Shen Que.
The previously most anticipated pairing, Shen Tan and Su Niannian, has become the least popular. This is mainly because although the two seem to be together all the time, there is not much tension between them, and they are not very sweet.
Shen Tan treats everyone the same, even male students are treated almost the same as female students.
That's not so appealing.
Art exhibition.
Qin Huaichen bought two tickets and took her inside.
He really doesn't understand painting.
I just think the paintings on display are really beautiful, each with its own unique style. Even though I don't understand them, I can still appreciate them.
Plus, being with the chattering He Suining makes it lively and not boring at all.
[I'm so upset. Even though Qin Ge is a total straight man, he responded to every single thing I said.]
hum.
On the way to view the paintings.
Qin Huaichen's phone rang.
He glanced at her, avoiding the camera, then looked at her again. "I need to take this call."
He Suining was admiring the famous paintings by the author.
Without even glancing at him, she waved dismissively, "Go on, go on, I'm a grown man, how could I possibly get lost?"
Qin Huaichen then found a secluded place.
He took off the microphone and said, "Hello, Mom."
Xu Yicai's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Huaichen, Mom will be returning to China in a while. Let's have a meal together then, and I'll introduce you to a girl I know, the one I told you about last time."
He looked up and gazed in He Suining's direction.
She was restless when looking at paintings; she wouldn't stand still. She was always swaying back and forth, looking this way and that.
Her curly hair was tied into a big ponytail, swaying with her movements.
Just looking at her back makes me happy.
Qin Huaichen wanted to refuse.
He couldn't explain why he refused; he never refused his mother's requests. Perhaps it was fear, or perhaps it was habit.
He would agree to anything his mother could, because he didn't want to have any more pointless arguments.
But this time he really didn't want to agree.
The words stuck in his throat, and a feeling of fear spread through his heart. That feeling of a snake staring at his back returned, sticky and coiling around his body, clinging to his neck, flicking its tongue.
It was as if his mother's red eyes were looking at him, hysterically accusing him.
"I……"
Xu Yicai never thought her son would reject her; she heard someone calling her from the other end of the line.
She quickly said, "Then Mom will hang up now. Remember to tell your dad when you get back. Mom asked him."
Doodle.
After saying that, he hung up, giving no one a chance to refute him.
Qin Huaichen frowned.
I feel a pang of regret; I should have just said it directly earlier.
He hesitated whether or not to make the call.
A familiar voice came from the other end.
He raised his head.
Su Niannian and Shen Tan walked in.
"Brother Shen Tan, let's go take a look at those paintings over there. They're landscape paintings that you like, and I think they're very similar to your style."
Qin Huaichen immediately put away his phone.
Ignoring them, he walked towards He Suining.
Shen Tan looked around.
He Suining's back view is easy to recognize, especially her curly hair.
It's curly, which is quite distinctive.
It's naturally curly, not the kind of curls you get at a hair salon.
"He Suining is over there, let's go over and say hello."
Shen Tan ignored Su Niannian's words, smiled at her, and made what seemed like a perfectly normal request.
Su Niannian's smile froze a bit.
As I walked over, I happened to run into Qin Huaichen, who was walking by.
The two men's eyes met unintentionally.
Shen Tan paused for a moment.
Qin Huaichen walked past them expressionlessly and went to He Suining's side.
Su Niannian almost lost control of her tongue, "What, Brother Shen Tan?"
Why did it suddenly stop again?
Shen Tan smiled.
Unlike his usual gentle smile, there was a hint of gloom in his expression. But in the blink of an eye, his face broke into a gentle smile again.
It was as if what I just saw was an illusion.
Qin Huaichen's eyes...
I don't know if he noticed it himself.
When she looked at him just now, her gaze was full of possessiveness and hostility.
That was possessiveness towards He Suining.
Hostility towards oneself.
interesting.
Shen Tan continued walking with Su Niannian.
Four people were looking at a painting.
Neither Su Niannian nor Qin Huaichen understood, so they could only say a few words. The rest of the time, He Suining and Shen Tan did the talking. Su Niannian wanted to interject several times, but felt that it would only make them laugh, so she simply kept quiet.
Qin Huaichen stood with his hands behind his back, occasionally saying a few words when she looked at him.
Most of the time, they remain silent.
I spent an hour looking at the art exhibition.
For those who enjoy life, it won't feel boring.
But for Su Niannian...
She was wearing high heels, and her legs were numb. Having to walk and stand at the same time, she almost lost control of her expression several times, nearly turning sour.
He looked at Qin Huaichen.
He remained as steady as a mountain, showing no signs of fatigue.
She always stayed by He Suining's side.
She was so angry.
It seems that among the four people, she is the most bored and tired.
After watching the art exhibition.
After Su Niannian came out, she took a deep breath of the fresh air of nature and had the thought that she never wanted to come to an art exhibition again in her life.
It's lunchtime.
She hurriedly went to arrange the picnic.
He Suining was also hungry, so she quickly walked over there.
Instead, the two men behind her walked side by side.
Shen Tan was handsome.
Qin Huaichen's expression was calm and composed; his masculine face was completely different from his usual style.
The comments section exploded.
Handsome men and beautiful women—even if the show is boring, you can watch it all day just for their looks.
Shen Tan suddenly took off the microphone.
Qin Huaichen glanced at him and took it off as well.
[Here we go again.]
[No, what's wrong? Are we deaf? Are we watching a pantomime?]
[Please! Can someone be a lip reader with a level 10 skill? I'm sure there are many talented people out there who can read lips.]
"Qin Huaichen, do you like He Suining?"
Shen Tan has a gentle smile, and the corners of his lips are always turned up, even when he is not speaking.
However, he speaks very directly, which is the opposite of his seemingly gentle temperament, as indicated by his upturned lips.
Qin Huaichen was taken aback.
Without much thought, he nodded. "Yes, she's very cute."
The people are also very nice.
Although she has a bit of a temper.
My younger sister.
She's cute nonetheless, so of course he likes her.
Shen Tan's smile widened, unaffected by his anger. "I see. I guessed so." He lowered his eyelids, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes. "It's just a pity that I didn't cherish He Suining when she liked me. Only now do I realize how interesting she is."
