Chapter 356: Had a Vase
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The next morning, Shi Xi had just come downstairs when she smelled the fragrance.
Mu Zhao brought out the breakfast that had been prepared and said with a smile, “Just in time for breakfast.”
There were egg cakes, millet porridge, vegetable boxes, and fried eggs on the table.
Shi Xi was surprised. “Did you make all these?”
“I made them together with Brother Zhuang.” Mu Zhao was virtuous and modest.
Yesterday, she realized that she had not done much, so she got up early in the morning to get busy.
After Shi Xi sat down, she swept her gaze around and asked, “Where’s Nan Wan?”
Zhuang Xuan said, “She’s still at the hospital.”
Mu Zhao was puzzled. “Didn’t she take the medicine yesterday? Why did she still go to the hospital?”
Zhuang Xuan shrugged. “Who knows?”
The program might be less fun if there was one less person to record it.
But if it was Nan Wan who was missing, they wouldn’t mind.
*
After happily recording the show, Shi Xi went to Long Quan Village. She hadn’t seen the Ning parents for a long time, so she wanted to go back and take a look.
However, when she reached the door, the clinic’s door was already closed.
Shi Xi: …
She knew that there weren’t many patients here, so they wouldn’t go so far as to switch to selling crabs, right?
However, she still had to continue recording [Secret Love Exchange] after this, so Shi Xi could only leave and visit the two elders next time.
*
The popularity of the first two episodes of [Secret Love Exchange] was very high, so the broadcast of the third episode undoubtedly made everyone even more excited.
After all, when the audience watched love variety shows, they wanted to see them fall in love or tear each other apart.
If they wanted to watch a variety show where the years were peaceful, they could watch [Landscape Life].
They could also see the bright and shining artistes in front of the audience who were so dejected that they couldn’t light a fire even if they died.
With the excitement of eating melons, the audience clicked on the third episode of [Secret Love Exchange].
The beginning was a review of the content of the previous episode: Shi Xi bought a bunch of flowers at the flower shop and was ready to return to the car.
After the last episode was broadcast, everyone guessed that Shi Xi was buying flowers for Chu Yuan.
After all, everyone knew that Shi Xi liked Chu Yuan’s adoring gaze.
After the shop assistant wrapped up the flowers, Shi Xi carried them into the car.
It was indeed a little forced to say that she was carrying them.
Nine flowers could be picked up with one hand.
Chu Yuan saw Shi Xi carrying the flowers up and turned to look at her. “The flowers are very nice.”
As he said this, he was already prepared to receive them.
Yes, Chu Yuan also thought that the flowers were for him.
Shi Xi got into the car and said, “I picked these flowers carefully. I’ll put them in the vase next to the bed.”
Chu Yuan: ?
“You bought them for yourself?” Chu Yuan’s hand froze.
“Yes, there’s a vase next to my bed.” Shi Xi said apologetically, “I know there’s a vase in the living room too, but a big bouquet is too expensive.”
I can’t afford it!
“It’s okay.” The corner of Chu Yuan’s mouth twitched. “Do you like flowers very much?”
“It’s just so-so. I just wanted to put something in the vase on a whim.” Shi Xi touched the petals to calm down the dissatisfaction in her heart.
Yes, she didn’t like living in the same room with others.
The car started. Chu Yuan tilted his head to look at Shi Xi, feeling that he couldn’t understand this girl.
She was clearly looking at him the same way as the others. They all liked him and wanted to be by his side.
But their attitudes toward him were different.
He really couldn’t understand young people nowadays.
Chu Yuan couldn’t figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
After returning to [Secret Love Exchange]’s apartment, Shi Xi returned with flowers and attracted everyone’s attention.
“Wow, he actually bought flowers!” Xu Ziqing covered her mouth and laughed. She patted Chu Yuan’s arm. “Brother Chu is so romantic!”
Chu Yuan: “…I didn’t give them to her.”

Chapter 357: Was Probably Because Zhu Lin Had Forgotten To Pack It

In an instant, both of them were embarrassed.
Shi Xi smiled and said, “I bought this from a florist when I passed by. I was going to put it in a vase by my bed.”
“You bought flowers yourself?” Xu Ziqing covered her mouth in surprise. “I’ve always received flowers from others, but I’ve never bought flowers myself!”
“Did you receive any flowers today?” Shi Xi directly asked back.
Xu Ziqing replied, “No, I didn’t.”
Her date with Li Jinfan was extremely awkward.
Moreover, she could sense that Li Jinfan didn’t like her, so why would he send her flowers?
Shi Xi smiled faintly. “I’ll put the flowers in the vase upstairs first.”
Xu Ziqing looked at Shi Xi’s back and the smile on her face instantly disappeared.
What was there to be arrogant about?
After Li Jinfan found out that Shi Xi had bought the flowers herself, he immediately followed her to fetch the vase and arrange the flowers.
It was a completely different person from the perfunctory way he had treated Xu Ziqing during the day.
The last ones to return were Feng Yingyuan and Wu Ni, who had gone to the secret room escape to play.
The two adults were having a very happy time. Moreover, both of them had come here for the purpose of being in love. The relationship quickly became intimate because of the love between genders.
Feng Yingyuan and Wu Ni chatted and laughed as they entered the door. When they realized that the atmosphere in the room was not right, they stopped smiling.
When Wu Ni saw Xu Ziqing in the kitchen, he went over to help her. He asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just didn’t receive any flowers. I was ridiculed.” Xu Ziqing cut the matter to the chase. She only said the part that was most beneficial to her and began to feel wronged.
“Who ridiculed you?” Wu Ni, the flower protector, immediately disagreed. “The next time I’ll buy you 999 roses. You can throw them directly at her face!”
Xu Ziqing was amused. “999 roses? Can I carry them?”
Wu Ni said, “It’s okay, I’ll help you carry them.”
The two of them quickly mingled and prepared dinner in the kitchen.
Feng Yingyuan sat on the sofa and poured herself a glass of water, drinking it slowly.
She also observed the movements in the kitchen.
Wu Ni was really a mature man. He dated her during the day and chatted with Xu Ziqing at night.
NB.
Feng Yingyuan had thought that Wu Ni was very nice, but now it seemed that Wu Ni was just a playboy.
They planned to go to the beach for a barbecue at night. After some preparation, they brought the washed and cut ingredients and went to the beach.
Xu Ziqing wore a swimsuit and a long-sleeved coat that covered her thighs. She looked slim and did not expose her body, which was in line with her sweet girl style.
Feng Yingyuan was wearing a mature, hanging swimsuit. Her chest was like two big coconuts. Her waist was slim and her long legs were straight.
Shi Xi was going to wear a swimsuit, but she could not find her own swimsuit no matter how hard she tried.
Xu Ziqing urged, “Xi Xi, we’re leaving soon. Aren’t you going to change?”
“I can’t find my swimsuit.” Shi Xi was very curious. She looked through the clothes again and said, “I remembered to bring it.”
“Think about it again. Where did you put it?” Xu Ziqing asked.
“Uh, my assistant packed it. But I told her to bring a swimsuit.” Shi Xi looked through the clothes again and said helplessly, “Forget it, I’ll just wear it casually.”
Maybe Zhu Lin forgot to put on the outfit.
Shi Xi casually wore a suspenders and cardigan, plus a pair of jean shorts. Her hair was tied with a headband.
She was full of energy.
When Xu Ziqing saw Shi Xi’s outfit, her eyes were filled with jealousy.
Why did Shi Xi look better in just a casual outfit, a casual tie of her hair, and a casual make-up?

Chapter 358: Shi Xi Liked Chu Yuan. It Was a Well-Known Fact, She Never Hid It

Xu Ziqing could not stand it any longer and said, “I’ll go down and wait for you.”
Shi Xi said, “Alright, I’ll go down very soon.”
The boys went to prepare the cars and moved the grills.
Feng Yingyuan picked two bottles of wine and prepared to bring them over to drink.
Xu Ziqing went into the kitchen and tugged at the vegetable leaves. She asked Feng Yingyuan, “What did you and Wu Ni play today?”
Feng Yingyuan replied, “Escape from the secret room.”
Xu Ziqing asked, “Did you have fun?”
“It was okay.” Feng Yingyuan recalled for a moment and asked, “How about you? How was your date with that little brother?”
Xu Ziqing picked up a vegetable and said, “It was okay.”
Feng Yingyuan smiled and said, “That younger brother is a little cute, not as mature as Wu Ni and Chu Yuan.”
Xu Ziqing sized up Feng Yingyuan and asked, “You like Wu Ni?”
Feng Yingyuan said, “It’s okay.”
Xu Ziqing picked a small vegetable and said, “If you don’t like him, don’t keep him hanging. You’re like a green tea.”
The originally peaceful conversation suddenly turned into gunpowder.
“You said I’m green tea?” Feng Yingyuan couldn’t believe it.
“Aren’t you?” Xu Ziqing stared at her with her big innocent eyes. “You don’t like Wu Ni, but you still seduce him. If it’s not green tea, then what is it?”
The bullet comments were shocked when they saw the two of them facing each other.
[F*ck, Sister Qing, f*ck, just tear it apart.]
[Sister Wine isn’t someone to be trifled with. Go back and fight back!]
[Sister Wine, the wine glass in your hand isn’t a decoration. Just pour red wine on her head!]
[I’m suddenly looking forward to it!]
Feng Yingyuan indeed wanted to pour red wine on Xu Ziqing’s head, but she thought about the camera beside her and smiled politely. She held back her actions. “Is there a misunderstanding between us?”
“I don’t think there’s a misunderstanding.” Xu Ziqing refused to communicate with her.
Shi Xi happened to come down from upstairs and said, “Sorry, I changed my clothes and was delayed for a few minutes. Are we leaving now?”
The tense atmosphere was broken. Xu Ziqing smiled and said to Shi Xi, “The boys are still moving the barbecue grill. Let’s go out and have a look.”
Shi Xi said, “Okay, I’ll carry the ingredients.”
Feng Yingyuan chuckled and followed them out with the wine.
The six of them split into two cars. Xu Ziqing and Feng Yingyuan did not get into one, avoiding the awkwardness on the road.
When they reached the beach, everyone set up the barbecue rack. The barbecue was not very technical. Anyone could play it for a while.
The few of them ate the barbecue and drank the wine. They proposed to play the game.
The most tacky and old-fashioned game: Truth or Dare.
Whoever the empty bottle turned to would choose truth or dare.
Chu Yuan said, “Let’s say it first. It’s just a game. We can’t go too far.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The bottle turned, and the first round turned to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan said, “Truth.”
Xu Ziqing asked first, “Is the girl you like at the scene?”
As she asked, she also looked at Shi Xi.
The others also looked at Shi Xi in a gossipy manner. Even the camera was focused on Shi Xi’s face.
After all, Shi Xi liked Chu Yuan. It was a well-known fact and she never hid it.
On the other hand, Chu Yuan was calm and magnanimous. He was very friendly to everyone and treated Shi Xi no differently.
Shi Xi gnawed on the roasted chicken feet and took the time to look at Chu Yuan.
Everyone’s eyes turned to look at Shi Xi and Chu Yuan.
Even the bullet screens became nervous, afraid that the two of them would declare their love on the spot.
Chu Yuan smiled and said, “I don’t have a girl that I like for the time being.”
Hearing this answer, everyone who couldn’t eat the melon felt bored.
Xu Ziqing looked at Shi Xi and said regretfully, “What a pity.”

Chapter 359: Who Was Your First Time With? When Did It Stop?

The next round of questioning was supposed to start after the next round of questioning. The previous incident was over, but Xu Ziqing just wanted to embarrass Shi Xi.
Shi Xi said generously, “It’s nothing. I admire Brother Chu more, as if he’s my idol. If he likes me, I might not like him anymore.”
Feng Yingyuan’s mouth twitched and she asked, “There’s such a situation? If you like each other, shouldn’t you be together?”
“My liking for Brother Chu is more like chasing after a star.” Shi Xi said, “Isn’t it time for the next round?”
Chu Yuan turned the wine bottle. “Let me do it.”
The wine bottle spun slowly, and the mouth of the bottle finally pointed at Wu Ni.
Wu Ni thought for a moment and said, “I’ll choose dare. It’ll be more exciting.”
Chu Yuan said, “Kiss the first member of the opposite s*x on your left for one minute.”
“Is it that big?” Shi Xi’s eyes widened when she heard that. She thought to herself that she definitely could not choose dare.
“This is a game for adults.” Chu Yuan looked at Wu Ni. “Can it be done?”
Wu Ni said, “As long as she agrees, I don’t care.”
The first member of the opposite s*x on his left was Feng Yingyuan.
Feng Yingyuan raised her wine glass and smiled charmingly. “I’ll teach you a red wine kiss.”
She took a sip of wine and kissed Wu Ni directly.
Shi Xi’s heart had received quite a shock when she saw the kiss at such a close distance.
Especially as the two of them got closer and closer, Wu Ni’s hand wrapped around Feng Yingyuan’s waist.
The atmosphere instantly became heated.
Li Jinfan reached out to block Shi Xi’s eyes and said, “Children are not allowed to watch.”
Shi Xi was speechless. “I’m already an adult!”
Li Jinfan said, “You can’t watch either.”
Wu Ni and Feng Yingyuan were both adults, not celebrities. They did not avoid kissing and enjoyed this one minute kiss.
There were all kinds of blessings on the bullet screen. [This is what adults should watch!]
[I’ve learned how to kiss with red wine. As expected of Sister Wine. She’s a seducer.]
[So it seems that Wu Ni still likes Sister Wine, right? The two of them went on a smooth date. They were so engrossed in their kiss. It would be hard to end things if they didn’t get married!]
Only Xu Ziqing was unhappy about this. She asked from time to time, “One minute should be up, right?”
Chu Yuan looked at his watch. “Ten seconds left.”
The dissatisfaction on Xu Ziqing’s face was very obvious.
Half of the bullet comments felt sorry for her, and the other half thought that she was acting.
[What is the meaning of Xu Ziqing’s expression? Does she think that others owe her? Wu Ni never said that he liked her? Instead, she eagerly went up to him and said that Sister Wine was green tea. I think she, Xu Ziqing, is the one with the most tea.]
[It was clearly Qing Qing who liked Wu Ni first. Now that she sees Wu Ni and Sister Wine kiss, she must be unhappy. Can’t she be unhappy as well?]
Different viewpoints started to tear each other apart, and it became hot again.
The one-minute red wine kiss finally ended, and both of them looked at each other with a little more flirtatious eyes.
Xu Ziqing interrupted angrily, “I’ll spin it.”
As she spoke, Xu Ziqing had already started to spin the bottle.
Perhaps Xu Ziqing’s emotions had stunned the bottle, and the bottle’s mouth finally pointed at Feng Yingyuan.
Feng Yingyuan said indifferently, “I choose truth.”
If it was dare, she didn’t know how Xu Ziqing would tease her.
Xu Ziqing looked at Feng Yingyuan and asked, “Who was your first time with? When did it end?”
Shi Xi wanted to quit this game.
Why were both dare and truth so exciting?
She was just a poor little adult!
The bullet screen was also a question mark, thinking that Xu Ziqing’s question was a bit excessive.

Chapter 360: Presents His First Kiss On Screen
[Isn’t this question a little too personal? I didn’t expect Xu Ziqing to be able to ask this question.]
[Just now, Chu Yuan said that they would kiss for a minute. Why can’t Xu Ziqing ask this? If you can’t afford it, then don’t play with it.]
In the bullet screen, the two voices converged.
Feng Yingyuan was indeed an elite lawyer who came out of the storm. She narrowed her eyes and said, “The first kiss was in the small forest at school, with my first love.”
Xu Ziqing gritted her teeth and said, “I’m not asking about the first kiss.”
“The first time you mentioned, I thought you were asking about the first kiss.” Feng Yingyuan smiled and said, “Remember to ask clearly next time.”
“I’m asking about the first night.” Xu Ziqing gave up.
Feng Yingyuan shrugged and said, “But I just answered your questions, and it was two questions. Now it’s my turn to spin the bottle.”
Xu Ziqing took a deep breath and suppressed her agitation.
But when she saw Feng Yingyuan spin the bottle, Xu Ziqing became worried again.
She was afraid that Feng Yingyuan would retaliate.
The bottle stopped and the mouth of the bottle was finally aimed at Shi Xi.
Xu Ziqing heaved a sigh of relief.
Shi Xi became nervous. She sat up straight and said, “I choose truth.”
She did not want to kiss anyone here for a minute.
Feng Yingyuan thought for a moment and asked, “What is the most rebellious thing you’ve ever done?”
Shi Xi: “Playing truth or dare with all of you is too dangerous!”
She was a completely obedient girl!
Feng Yingyuan felt helpless and said, “Alright, next round.”
Shi Xi picked up the bottle and turned it to Feng Yingyuan.
Feng Yingyuan looked at Shi Xi thoughtfully and said, “I choose dare.”
Shi Xi could not think of what to do.
Xu Ziqing said from the side, “Xi Xi, let me help you think of a dare?”
Shi Xi saw the conflict between the two of them, so she naturally would not let Xu Ziqing use her as a weapon. She said, “Look at the opposite s*x on your right for ten seconds.”
On Feng Yingyuan’s right was Wu Ni.
“Just look at each other? Is it that simple?” Wu Ni felt that the punishment for this dare was too light.
The two of them had just kissed passionately for a whole minute!
Shi Xi: “…Then carry her and walk on the beach for a minute.”
Wu Ni: “…Is this her dare or my dare?”
“You’re not willing?” Shi Xi straightened her back.
She gradually felt that this game was not interesting.
It was too erotic.
Wu Ni accepted his fate and said, “Fine, fine, fine. I’ll carry her.”
Xu Ziqing was so angry that her eyes were red.
She had never suffered such a huge loss before!
Wu Ni carried Feng Yingyuan on his back and walked barefoot on the beach.
From afar, the two of them were filming the scene. Behind them was the sea, and the effect was very good.
It was an intimate scene.
Xu Ziqing got up and said unhappily, “I’m not playing anymore. I’ll go grill some more meat to eat.”
They had already eaten their fill before they sat down to play the game.
They had originally wanted to promote their mutual understanding, but in the end, everyone was trying to set up Wu Ni and Feng Yingyuan.
Xu Ziqing was naturally angry about this and immediately waved her hand, not wanting to continue playing.
Li Jinfan said regretfully, “I don’t feel like I’m participating at all.”
After seeing Feng Yingyuan and Wu Ni’s kiss, he had even fantasized that he would give up his first kiss on the screen in the dare.
He did not expect that the bottle would not even turn in front of him.
Shi Xi said, “If you want to experience it, you can too. Look at Brother Chu for ten seconds.”
Chu Yuan and Li Jinfan were speechless
There was no need for that.
Shi Xi was interested and said, “Let’s give it a try! There are scientific studies that say that as long as two people look at each other for more than ten seconds, dopamine will be produced in the brain. This is the main ingredient of the human brain during love.”
