WLAEF afterward 2




Jiang Yun Zhu was stunned. How could this happen? What exactly...if that was the case, it wouldn't be surprising if they distanced themselves from her.


But she couldn't believe that they would participate in the party struggle.


"Maybe they are forced too." Shen Feng Ming saw her doubts and explained.


Nowadays, there was a fierce party struggle in the court. It wasn't that easy for the two of them to gain a foothold.


From the seven years in the dream, Jiang Yun Zhu knew that there were constant overt and covert struggles in the court. Even Shen Feng Ming couldn't avoid it.


Thinking of this, she suddenly became worried about Shen Feng Ming. The story of Changshi Village's extermination had been changed. There should be no top scholar case this time, but he was in many dangers in the court.


"Don't worry about me, I have my plans." Shen Feng Ming hugged her tightly and said. How could he not leave a way out for himself, his subordinates, and his family after being in the court for so many years? Besides, he had her now. For her sake, he won't let anything happen to him.


He didn't like power, but he had things to do and people to protect. That was his responsibility.


Hearing what he said, Jiang Yun Zhu felt inexplicably at ease.


Shen Feng Ming didn't want to talk about this anymore. He lowered his head and looked at the booklet in her hand, "What is this?"


"Mother just gave it to me and told me to study it carefully with you." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.


"Oh?" Shen Feng Ming said, opening the booklet.


The two looked at the book together. When they clearly saw what was on it, Jiang Yun Zhu's face turned red. This book...she thought it was some kind of book. Alright, it was a book, but it was the kind of book with pictures.

Princess Danyang was truly looking forward to her grandson. This booklet contains various methods to help her get pregnant, as well as illustrations.


The lifelikeness of that picture...


As soon as Jiang Yun Zhu took a look, Shen Feng Ming carried her to the bed.


The light blue gauze curtain fell, covering the spring scenery inside.


When Jiang Yun Zhu's feet finally landed on the brocade quilt, her mind went blank and her body seemed to be floating in the clouds. She could no longer think about anything.


Shen Feng Ming hugged her and kissed her again and again. Once her breathing became more stable, he picked her up and went to the bathroom.


At this time, the booklet was lying there alone on the nearby table. There was a picture on the open page and the text, "After making love, put a pillow on your buttocks for half an hour to help you get pregnant."


Shen Feng Ming saw it, but had no intention of doing so.


He wanted to have a child with Jiang Yun Zhu, but he was afraid that she would suffer. That was why he decided to follow her wishes and "leave it to fate." If she was pregnant, he would accompany her and find the best doctor and midwife in the world for her. If she can't get pregnant, that was perfect.


At this time, her body was covered with sweat. She must be uncomfortable.


It was better to clean her up.


Entering into the hot water, Jiang Yun Zhu sighed comfortably.


Shen Feng Ming helped her clean her body, even in that area.


The moment the long, calloused fingers invaded, Jiang Yun Zhu self consciously tensed up.


Shen Feng Ming pecked her lips twice to distract her attention.


Then he carried her back to the bed. The two cuddled up and fell asleep.


The next day Jiang Yun Zhu got up late again. This time Princess Danyang directly sent someone to tell them that they were all one family and there weren't so many rules. Jiang Yun Zhu wouldn't need to greet in the morning in the future.


Still, Jiang Yun Zhu quickly got up, not wanting to lie on the bed with Shen Feng Ming anymore.


The two went to see Princess Danyang and Official Shen. The four of them had breakfast together.


Shen Feng Ming went to the Division in high spirits. Jiang Yun Zhu went back to catch up on sleep for half an hour. Only then, she felt energy.


She didn't want to go to Shiguang Restaurant today. She pondered and went to see Academician Shen.


The Shen Family had a library. She had heard Shen Feng Ming talk about it before and had always been yearning to go over. Now...


When Academician Shen heard that she wanted to go into the library to read, he couldn’t be any more happier. "Just let Shen Fu take you there. You don't need to specially ask me for such a trivial matter."


"Thank you, Father." Jiang Yun Zhu said. Still have to ask. She heard that there were many unique books collected in the library by Academician Shen and they weren’t usually seen by others.


Academician Shen nodded. The more he looked at Jiang Yun Zhu, the more satisfied he became. He already knew that the sausage was made by Jiang Yun Zhu.


He had long said, "Know people by reading characters, distinguish nature by seeing objects. The person who made this sausage should be a sincere person."

Now that he saw her, it was indeed true.


And Jiang Yun Zhu's attitude toward Chi Zheng, Han Kuo and others further illustrated this point.


Especially, since Jiang Yun Zhu was so eager to learn...


Academician Shen seemed to understand why his son liked Jiang Yun Zhu. This girl was worthy of being liked.


He found it fortunate that Shen Feng Ming could meet her.


Jiang Yun Zhu went to the Shen Family’s library. Even though she had heard about the library before, she was shocked when she saw it. This era wasn't like modern times, books were expensive and difficult to obtain, but the Shen Family’s library had such a scale. It was indeed the accumulation of a great family for hundreds of years.


Shen Feng Ming had already written out the books about recipes in the library for Jiang Yun Zhu. Today she came here mainly to read some travel books. In these books, they often wrote about local food and customs and were interesting.


Soon, Jiang Yun Zhu found a few travel books and flipped through them.


After an unknown amount of time, she felt her eyes were dry. Then she raised her head.


Seeing that it was almost noon, she stood up, stretched, and hurried to the kitchen.


Today she saw several dishes in the travel notes, all of which were very interesting. She wanted to try them herself to see if she could make them successfully.


When the chefs of the Shen Family saw her coming, they were both happy and shivering. Delighted, because of Jiang Yun Zhu’s cooking skills


It was extremely high. They were resigned to being inferior. When she cooked, they helped her and learned a lot.


Shivering was because they were afraid that Jiang Yun Zhu will always come to the kitchen and they would lose their jobs.


Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know what they were thinking, so she went to a corner of the kitchen and worked away.


After a while, the dishes came out one after another.


"Master, today Young Madam personally cooked." After seeing Jiang Yun Zhu away, Academician Shen went to the Hanlin Academy. Seeing that it was lunch time, he was about to agree when someone invited him to go out for dinner when Shen Fu whispered beside him.


"You go ahead. I won't go." Hearing this, Academician Shen immediately rejected the invitations from the people opposite him.


Several people on the opposite side looked at each other, wondering why Academician Shen suddenly changed his mind.


However, Academician Shen hurriedly got into the carriage and returned to Shen's home. Jiang Yun Zhu personally cooked today! He couldn't miss it.


"Madam, Young Madam went to the kitchen." Attendant Chang soon learned about this and conveyed it to Princess Danyang.


Princess Danyang silently put down the cake she just picked up. Forget it, she won't eat it. Let's wait for a while for the meal.


Academician Shen and Shen Feng Ming went home together. Ever since Jiang Yun Zhu married in, Shen Feng Ming would go home for lunch if he wasn't particularly busy, and would go home early after finishing his work in the evening.


When Princess Danyang saw the father and son in the hall, she first snorted. This was directed to Academician Shen. Afterward, when she looked at Shen Feng Ming, her face was full of smiles.


She found it extremely fortunate now that she begged Emperor Qinglong to give a decree for Jiang Yun Zhu to marry her son back then. Now this family felt like a home.


At this time, Jiang Yun Zhu had finished preparing the meal, washed her hands and came to the front hall.


"Don't work so hard and cook by yourself." Princess Danyang said to Jiang Yun Zhu. Looking at how Jiang Yun Zhu was this morning, she knew that she had been tossed around for a long time last night. She should be nourished right now.


Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head. She didn't find it hard. There was no point in lying in bed all the time. Doing something one liked felt refreshing.


The family sat down to eat.


Today Jiang Yun Zhu made a new dish, a Bijian soup. This dish only used one ingredient, water celery.


Cut the water celery into small pieces and then make it into a soup. The finished soup was clear and transparent, with green water celery floating on it. It was as beautiful as the green water of a mountain stream.


"Is this dish Bijian soup?" Academician Shen stared at the dish and asked in surprise. He had read almost all the books in the library. He remembered that this dish was mentioned in a travel journal, saying that it was a simple but extremely delicious dish that made people yearn for it.


It was a pity that he didn't know how to cook. As for the chef at home, getting them to cook it was putting them on the spot. So he could only imagine the taste of this dish in his heart. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yun Zhu made it today.


"It's Bijian soup." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.


Academician Shen became interested, twirling his beard while admiring the dish. He said, "Fresh crucian carp silver-threaded slice; green celery Bijian soup; on a hundred hectares of windy pond; a thousand pieces of summer wood are clear. This dish occupies all "natural-ness."


Princess Danyang didn't like hearing these rambling from him. If Shen Feng Ming and Jiang Yun Zhu weren't here, she would have attacked him long ago.


She ignored him and asked Jiang Yun Zhu, "Does this dish only use water celery?"

From the first impression, that was what it looked like. But it was just boiled celery. Could it be delicious? It better not be an all show not taste vase-like dish.


"Mother, try it." Jiang Yun Zhu served a bowl of Bijian soup to Princess Danyang.


Princess Danyang scooped up a spoonful and tentatively put it into her mouth. To be honest, she didn't like the strange taste of water celery.


But as soon as she put this green soup into her mouth, Princess Danyang's eyes widened. This! Was this water celery? She tasted it carefully. It tasted like water celery. But why did it taste so fresh? And this soup, when drinking it, it tasted clear and light. However, it had a feeling that one can't stop having it.

TISHW 39




  Chapter 39 Very interesting

Jiang Yu thought of Zhao Shunong's straightforward character, checked Weibo with great interest, and saw her latest post: 【Not fiancée, just childhood friend. What’s more, the person he likes is excellent and he has yet to successfully chase her. 】

Jiang Yu:? ? ?

【Fudge me, which godly saint is it for God Yu to not successfully chase her? 】

【I can’t imagine God Yu pursuing someone. 】

Jiang Yu couldn't imagine it. Still, Zhao Shunong really dared to brag...

After opening Weibo, Jiang Yu realized that Qin Shiyu's hot searches hadn’t come down in the past few days.

After the last big goose incident, Jiang Yu felt that she had already dealt with all the things she was responsible for regarding Qin Shiyu, so she turned off the mini program for her hot search reminder and never paid attention to it again. Due to this, she only found out why everyone had the impression that Qin Shiyu was of ordinary origin now.

After the hot search of Qin Shiyu getting pecked by a big goose, the topic had extended to #Qinshiyu visiting the farmer market#  ——After the initial laughter passed, everyone began to involuntarily explore his origins.

What was the brand of clothes he was wearing that day? The rice, flour, grains, oils and various vegetables contained in the bags carried by both hands were even dragged out. Jiang Yu was shocked to see it. Although it was a transparent plastic bag, it was still too scary. Not to mention which farmer market, which was the first to be analyzed.

In short, based on the summary of all the information, it was finally determined that he might be a child from an ordinary family. After all, children from wealthy families have nannies to buy groceries. How could they possibly go to the farmer market in person?

But this wasn't a big deal in the first place. Most of the celebrity idols come from ordinary families. Their wealthy backgrounds may give them some aura, but the most important thing was that they were dazzling enough.

But this matter seems to be specially highlighted now. It felt like it wasn't that simple.

Zhao Shunong was probably holding it in too much as she had directly called Jiang Yu, "Do you remember Zhou Feifei?"

Jiang Yu had some recollection, "A cannon fodder just like us."

Zhao Shunong said, "That's right. The other party is the smartest one and survived to the end."

In the book, mother and son Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan never stopped tormenting Qin Shiyu. Chen Yalian found the original owner, while Qin Luochuan found Zhou Feifei. However, Qin Luochuan handled it smarter. Zhou Feifei always thought that she knew Qin Shiyu's identity by accident.

Because the original owner kept a high profile, Zhou Feifei quickly guessed their relationship. The original owner's parents died in order to save Qin Shiyu's mother and son, while Zhou Feifei only received financial support from Mother Qin. She knew that she could not compete with the original owner in this regard, so she secretly schemed her. Thanks to Zhou Feifei’s indispensable contribution, the original owner was able to jump so high and for so long.

Especially when she betrayed Qin Shiyu and cooperated with Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan.

Zhou Feifei's original target was Qin Shiyu, but from the original owner until Qin Shiyu was just an abandoned son, her target changed to hooking up with Qin Luochuan and helping Qin Luochuan deal with Qin Shiyu.

The Qin Shiyu's cyber bullying was from the original owner’s tossing around in the front, but the actual manipulator behind the scenes was Zhou Feifei.

Zhao Shunong said, "We can't tell if she was like us at the moment, but she is obviously guiding things. Even though she has a lot of fans, Qin Shiyu garnered a lot of traffic recently. How could those fans of her suppress and abuse?"

After experiencing the incident of wrongly accusing Jiang Yu, Zhao Shunong became more cautious, "If she is the original Zhou Feifei, she would directly find a way to get close to Qin Shiyu because you changed the plot here."

"Since she seems to care about her origins very much, she deliberately led Qin Shiyu to appear to be of ordinary origin and get talked about by everyone. Then she, an orphan, can take the opportunity to comfort and get close to him and develop a sense of intimacy."

"Also, she wants to express that she doesn’t know anything about his origins, thinks he is an ordinary person and fell in love with him then. It isn't because of his identity."

Jiang Yu thought it made sense, "Because the more you care about something, the more emphasis you have to put on it."

Zhao Shunong snorted coldly, "That's why I insist on breaking her plan. No matter whether she has changed her core or not, as long as she doesn't stir up drama with Qin Shiyu, I don't care about the rest."

Jiang Yu remembered what she had posted on Weibo, "You really dare to say..." She actually said that Qin Shiyu had someone he liked, but he hadn’t chased her yet.

"It's okay," Zhao Shunong chuckled, "He won't care anyway. This is the simplest method. If it weren't for timing and Qin Shiyu himself hates being a member of the Qin Family, I would have directly announced his identity and let him last on the hot search list for a month." 

She laughed again at this point, "Still, this is interesting." 

She gloated, "Say, won’t the netizens laugh at him for a few years? Can’t even chase a girl."

In the book, Qin Shiyu had indeed been single. Now it seemed that Zhao Shunong didn’t intend to fill this position and even resented him deeply.

Sure enough, she heard her complaining in the next second, "I think Zhou Feifei's marketing account is right. As an idol, he is very brilliant, but as a partner, he will probably make people mad. He won't take anything to heart. That's right! What are your plans?”

Jiang Yu didn't hide anything, "Wait until the agreement is over."

Zhao Shunong caught on, "It's really a novel’s normal routine. There are marriage agreements everywhere."

After that, she didn't ask any more questions and just said, "If you need help, just ask."

After hanging up the phone, she continued to stare at Zhou Feifei's marketing account.

In fact, Zhao Shunong's move was very effective in cutting through the mess with a sharp knife, directly drawing everyone's attention back to Qin Shiyu.

Things like Zhou Feifei being inspirational as an orphan had been overly talked about by others. However, Qin Shiyu's were all breaking news.

Zhao Shunong’s Weibo contained a lot of information. As everyone knew, Yiyi Jewelry was a long-established group and her grandfather started the fortune. In other words, Zhao Shunong was already a wealthy princess when she was born. To be Zhao Shunong’s childhood friend, how could Qin Shiyu’s background be so bad?

So Qin Shiyu might be a young master from a wealthy family? Of course, the most shocking thing was that someone would reject Qin Shiyu's pursuit. Who was this person?

Some people speculated that it was the daughter of a well-matched socialite, while others recalled the time he went to the farmer market, wondering if it was to pursue the girl he liked? 

Jiang Yu looked at the various outrageous inferences on the barrage and truly admired the imagination of netizens. Novel authors who have run out of inspiration could come here to collect materials.

The fundamental purpose of Zhou Feifei's side was to get close to Qin Shiyu. Seeing that she could no longer take advantage of her "ordinary background" identity and the fans were starting to argue out of control, she would offend Qin Shiyu if she continued.

Only after careful consideration, the agent fang Ke felt that it wasn't suitable and withdrew immediately.

As soon as the water troop withdrew, no one started a fight and the barrage immediately became more harmonious. Everyone was gossiping while waiting for them to complete their tasks.

Yes, the reason why the audience was so gossipy was that they didn't complete the task fast enough. There are always disagreements in the middle.

Since Zhou Feifei wanted to get in contact with Qin Shiyu, she naturally studied several episodes of "All Rounder" and found that he really didn't like to bother with people. However, his treatment toward Jiang Yu was slightly different this season. So she speculated that Qin Shiyu probably liked smart people.

So she had been working hard to perform in this episode. Of course, it was also to get more screen time.

After all, as a newbie, she definitely didn’t have as many advantages as the seniors.

Then, in a group game, everyone directly bumped heads.

The rules of this game were 24 colors being randomly placed on a 20×20 grid map and only 20 seconds of memorizing time were provided. The final requirement was to restore the color positions according to the mirror image on the prepared grid on the opposite side. If the restoration was wrong, everyone will fall into the trap and return to another starting point to start again.

After the group had just listened to the rules of the game, Xiang Chen said that he wanted to discuss it, however Zhou Feifei directly pressed the start button.

The color distribution started playing on the screen.

Jian Cang wailed, "It's actually in the form of a flash? My eyes are getting dizzy. How can I remember this?"

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on the screen. No one else could pay any heed as they were racing against time to remember.

After 20 seconds, the screen turned off and everyone began to restore. But it didn't take long for disagreements to arise.

Zhou Feifei insisted that her memory was correct and that the grid should be blue, but Ye Yuanyu disagreed because he remembered it was purple.

Xiang Chen stood beside him helpless, "I only remembered the second half."

Jian Cang gave him a high-five, "Me too. I thought you all would remember the front, so I remembered the back."

Looking at Ye Yuanyu who was arguing with Zhou Feifei, Shu Hua said, "I memorized the middle, but I'm not sure if I remember it accurately." 

She sighed, "Actually, with the six of us, if we discussed each of us memorizing four lines, it wouldn’t be too difficult.”

This was a bit like complaining. When Zhou Feifei heard this, she quickly said with a guilty look on her face, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much at the time. I think this was quite simple and can be remembered."

Xiang Chen quickly helped Shu Hua with a smile, ""All Rounder" is about challenging our limits. If we solve it just like this, wouldn't it make us look too brilliant?"

Shu Hua said, "Feifei, I have no intention of blaming you. I just think it would be more efficient to clear the levels separately."

Zhou Feifei expressed her understanding and smiled, "But I'm sure I remember it correctly."

Ye Yuanyu said, "I am sure too."

Zhou Feifei seemed a little at a loss.

Zhou Feifei’s fans began to feel distressed for her again, feeling that she was being excluded as a new member.

Jian Cang saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense, so he asked Xiang Chen and Shu Hua to sort the latter bits. In the middle, the two lads had their difference in opinion. However, they were already familiar with each other and did not have such a strong desire to express themselves. They joked and argued for a long time. Finally, Shu Hua made the final decision and felt that Xiang Chen was right.

Jian Cang didn't insist. Instead, he joked to Ye Yuanyu and Zhou Feifei, "Why don't you let Shu Hua decide? This guy is especially lucky. Maybe she’ll guess it right."

Zhou Feifei nodded and moved away, but helplessly remarked, "I'm not used to relying on luck. The main thing is we have the answer..."

She said it as if they would rather take their chances than trust her.

Shu Hua was a little embarrassed, while Jian Cang didn't know what to do. Almost imperceptibly, Ye Yuanyu frowned with a cold expression.

Zhou Feifei said, "How about this? Just listen to me. If I’m wrong, I will take full responsibility."

She still insisted on everyone listening to her.

No one said anything, but the old fans couldn’t bear it anymore:

【Take full responsibility? How? It's not like she’s the only one who falls down to be punished alone. It is everyone together. 】

【Obviously, if this level was discussed, it would be quite easy for them. But because of her quick hands, they got inexplicably stuck here. Shu Hua got scolded after saying one sentence. Really! 】

Although Shu Hua was said to rely on Jiang Yu to lead her all the way to "All Rounder 3", she has a cheerful and interesting personality, a clear mind, and her solo mission performance in the last season was amazing. The audience liked her. Just now Zhou Feifei’s fans made unpleasant comments about Shu Hua because of her complaint. This made old fans unable to stand it.

【Um, don’t you feel that she is actually imitating Jiang Yu? Immersing herself in the questions and rushed forward alone. 】

【Come on, Jiang Yu was immersed in solving the questions and rushing forward alone because she doesn't like to talk. Still, she never making decisions on he own, okay? She just like to scare them with surprise attacks. 】

【Zhou Feifei should continue to be a star. In entertainment variety shows, people may like this kind of disagreement and quarrel, but in "All Rounder", it is more about cooperation. 】

Zhou Feifei didn't know that the audience was dissatisfied with her and insisted on pressing the confirm button. However, Qin Shiyu, who had been spuddling aound, spoke out of the blue, "Wait a minute, I'll do it." 

He said and stepped forward. Ignoring Zhou Feifei who was looking at him, he directly picked up the colors and started arranging them. He adjusted one of Jian Cang’s and Xiang Chen’s. Then he determined the one that Ye Yuanyu and Zhou Feifei were arguing about.

Zhou Feifei's face changed slightly and hesitated to speak. She didn't dare to be overbearing like when she faced Ye Yuanyu. His crushing record in the past had become a kind of authority. Almost everyone in "All Rounder" won’t imagine him making a mistake.

Qin Shiyu didn't discuss it with anyone and directly hit the confirmation button after finishing the arrangement.

The loudspeaker immediately rang, "Congratulations on completing your mission!"

Zhou Feifei's expression froze because the position Qin Shiyu changed was the same as what Ye Yuanyu remembered.

The others didn't pay attention to her as they were already cheering for clearing the level. Seeing her discomfort, Xiang Chen smiled and comforted her, "You must have memorized it as its mirror image. Memorizing so many positions alone is already very excellent. "

Accepting the step down, Zhou Feifei knocked her head in annoyance, "Indeed, when I was memorizing, I directly turned it into mirror image in my mind. As a result, I made an extra flip..."

Although she had a good attitude, the atmosphere became even more strange after this dispute.

Her fans couldn’t speak out anymore. Because Qin Shiyu didn't seem to like this atmosphere, he stopped spuddling afterward. The whole way it was solving problems when encountering them and the obstacles passed in a flurry.

The barrage had finally returned to the old style of "All Rounder":

【Coming, coming, ruthless puzzle crusher. 】

【I finally know why he is always spuddling. It took them nearly two hours to complete the first four levels, while God Yu spent less than half an hour for four levels. Majority of the time is spent on the road. 】

【Ahhhhh, he looks so cool when he solves puzzles in seconds! 】

【I just got to know him, so I came here for him today. After reading half of the gossip, I now see his charm. Fortunately, I didn’t leave earlier. 】

【However, God Yu, you should keep spuddling, otherwise you will be out soon and the program team will not be able to get enough material for editing. 】

Qin Shiyu obviously didn't hear the audience's voice. As a result of his normal performance, they passed the levels after forty minutes.

Seeing the mission end, Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to exit the live broadcast room, she saw her name on the barrage again:

【Miss Jiang Yu a little. There is nothing funny in this episode. 】

【Not only does it have no laughs, I suspect that I watched a fake "All Rounder". It didn't have much high spec. It’s all fudging quarrels and gossip. 】

【Alas, this episode is simply! I’d better go and review the first and second episodes. 】

【Jiang Yu, I believe you. Please come back and clarify. 】

……

After recording the show, Zhou Feifei couldn't wait to run into the nanny car to see the response, but Fang Ke said solemnly, "The situation has changed. Let's go back and discuss it first."

On the other side, Shu Hua sneaked into Qin Shiyu's nanny car and said dissatisfied, "You cold-blooded monster, why are you looking for me?"

Qin Shiyu said, "Can you ask Jiang Yu if the fourth episode’s contract has been signed?"

Shu Hua was stunned for a moment before happily exclaiming, "Is Bigshot coming to participate in the fourth recording session?"

Qin Shiyu replied, "It depends on whether you are important to her or not."

Shu Hua’s gaze suddenly turned firm and said, "Aren’t there two days until the fourth episode’s contract signing? I will personally come knocking to ask her to agree!"

Qin Shiyu was noncommittal.

Shu Hua stared at him intently.

Qin Shiyu said casually, "What's wrong?"

Shu Hua spoke, "I wrongly blamed you before. I didn't expect you to care about me."

Qin Shiyu snorted, "You're thinking too much. You can leave."

Shu Hua harrumphed, "I will be grateful to you in hmy heart, but you better not make it too obvious outside. What if someone misunderstands that you have a crush on me."

Qin Shiyu:......

Chapter 48 New Bed

"Xiao Jiao, I heard from your younger brother that your family bought a house in the town. The whole family will move to the town, right?"

"Yes, yes, I also heard it from my boy. Xiao Jiao, is it true?"

Anyway, they will have to move in a while, so Xu Xiao Jiao didn’t hide it from everyone.

"Yes, just bought it. We haven't packed it up yet. We'll move it after it's packed up."

These words were like a drop of water falling directly into the oil pan. There was a sizzling sound and everyone exploded.

Bought a house in the town! My god, what was this concept?

When Song Wei Ping bought a bicycle, everyone was surprised and that was it. Although bicycles were expensive, they weren't that rare after all. The village secretary had one at home. Back then, Han Guang Hui bought one for Zhao Yan Yan. Everyone had seen a lot, so they didn’t think it’s that strange.

Song Wei Ping bought a television set, which was a big deal. He showed it to everyone during the New Year. People from the surrounding area came over to watch it. The television set was the first one in Meilin Village. Everyone only looked and didn’t dare to touch it. At that time, everyone felt that Song Wei Ping was the most promising person in their Meilin Village.

Now, they have bought a new house in the town!

A bicycle cost more than 100 yuan. Now that the land was theirs. If they tighten their belt and earn a few years, they can buy one. As for the television set, it costs 300 to 400 yuan. It wasn’t a dream to buy it in ten or eight years. But buying a house in the town was something everyone has never dared to think about.

The way everyone looked at Song Wei Ping changed completely.

"Oh, Wei Ping, say, I've watched you grow up. Why are you getting more promising, the older you get? I don't even dare to recognise you."

"Yeah, tell us how you make money. Your land is all contracted out, so you only have a job with the transportation team in the town. How can you make money like that when you go out with the transportation team?"

"Look at what you're asking. Even if he tells you, can you make money? Wei Ping can drive, can you? This is his skill. Don't be jealous."

"If I have to say, it’s Xiao Jiao, who’s the lucky one. Look at your life since you married Wei Ping. It is getting better and better day by day. Not to mention Meilin Village, you are this in all the surrounding areas!” That person raised their thumb.

"If you ask me, Xiao Jiao gives husband good luck. Wei Ping, don’t you agree? Think about your past days, when you didn't have enough to eat, didn't have enough clothes to wear, and still owe debt from the famine. Look at it now, it's different."

These words were greatly affirmed by Song Wei Ping, "Yes, I am lucky to be able to marry her."

After finally escaping from the siege of the large army, Xu Xiao Jiao was stunned and remarked, "Those aunties can really talk."

Song Wei Ping agreed. He also felt that the noise was making his head hurt.

When they arrived at Uncle Zhao's house, they naturally had to inquire a lot. After they finally agreed on the style, Uncle Zhao guaranteed that it would take ten days and a half to make it. It was already afternoon when they got home.

Wu Chun Hua didn't go out all afternoon and was packing some pots and pans at home. When she saw the two of them coming in, she asked, "What’s the matter? Old Brother Zhao can't make it? Why did it take so long to come back?"

Xu Xiao Jiao took the game console from Xu Xiao Gang's hand and continued to play the game he was in the midst of playing. "Then you better ask your precious son. That mouth is more powerful than a loudspeaker. Everyone in the village knows that our family has bought a new house. Song Wei Ping and I were surrounded by questions and listened to a lot of things. My head is still buzzing."

She pressed the button a few times and continued to say to Wu Chun Hua, "Everyone is so heated up. One moment they praise me for being lucky, and the next they praise me for bringing prosperity to my husband. Oh, Mom, now they say it, I’m as prosperous as that treasure bowl money tree.”

Wu Chun Hua smiled when she heard it, "It's not good for someone to praise you. My daughter is blessed and brings prosperity to husband."

Xu Xiao Gang was having fun when his game console was taken away and was now unhappy, "Elder Sister, give it to me. I'm halfway through the game."

Xu Xiao Jiao refused to give it to him, "Wait until you can control your mouth before you can play the game console again."

Xu Xiao Gang was dissatisfied, "I didn't tell anyone about it. I just told Da Zhuang and the others. Elder Brother-in-law, look at my elder sister. ALready at this age and she's still trying to steal my game console."

Xu Xiao Jiao harrumphed, "What your game console? Song Wei Ping bought it for me."

Xu Xiao Gang was still waiting for Song Wei Ping to seek justice for him, but Song Wei Ping rubbed his head and said, "Let your elder sister played it first. Next time I go out, I will buy one for you."

Xu Xiao Gang immediately became even more dissatisfied, "Mom, look, Elder Brother-in-law is partial to my elder sister!"

Wu Chun Hua laughed when she heard this, "Silly boy, come here and help mom tie the rope."

She couldn’t wait to be happy when Son-in-law favored her Daughter. Only Xiao Gang, the silly boy, didn't understand.

The days passed by slowly, from the cold wind to the spring of March. On a warm spring day, Song Wei Ping's family was about to move.

This day was specially chosen by Grandma Song. She had decided it many days in advance. The day was indeed sunny, which made Xu Xiao Jiao, Song Wei Ping and their family’s mood soared.

In two months, the small courtyard in the town had been completely renovated. Although the budget wasn’t large, they had tidied it up very carefully.

In fact, the bits and pieces had been moved there one after another. There was still a part left in Meilin Village in case they occasionally came back to live for a few days. Today they will move the daily necessities that have been left here and live there for the first time. In the evening, the moving project officially ended.

Knowing that they were leaving, neighbors came to see them off one after another.

Even though Meilin Village wasn’t far from the town, everyone was still a little bit reluctant to part. Grandma Song wasn’t difficult to get along with. Wu Chun Hua also had a soft temper and got along well with her neighbors. Normally, everyone chatters together and clicked together.  

"Auntie Song, now that you are leaving, there will be fewer people to talk to."

"That's right, Xiao Jiao's mom. Come back and talk to us often when you have time."

It was evident with Xu Xiao Gang's friends. They hugged each other and started crying.

"Xiao Gang, what should we do now that you leave?"

"Yes, Xiao Gang, I won't be able to see you again in the future."

"Uuuuuuuuah, I haven't played your game console more than a few times."

"Xiao Gang, you can go away, but can you leave the game console for us to play for a few days?"

Originally, everyone was feeling sad when they cried. But now they heard this, they all laughed and the atmosphere instantly became cheerful.

The subsequent send off consisted of more blessings and less sorrow. After a few more words, Song Wei Ping set off with his family.

They borrowed an ox-drawn cart, put everything on it, and arrived in the town in less than half an hour.

Pushing open the door, a neat little courtyard unfolds in front of their sight. The ground was paved with cement, a small flower bed was built, and some space was left for the pomegranate tree. Next to the tree, a wooden hanging basket hung there quietly. Waiting for someone to lie in it, it gently rocked.

"Oh yeah! Moving to a new home!" Xu Xiao Gang cheered and rushed into his room first.

The four main rooms were originally three separate rooms. Song Wei Ping and Xu Xiao Jiao lived in the main room, while Xu Xiao Gang had a separate room. As for the remaining two rooms, Song Wei Ping found someone to separate into a front and rear rooms for Wu Chun Hua and Grandma Song. Everyone’s room wasn’t small.

There was a small living room outside their main room. Inside was a bedroom. There was also a partition in the bedroom, with a row of wardrobes inside. This was specifically for Xu Xiao Jiao's clothes, shoes and bags.

He fulfilled almost all of Xu Xiao Jiao's requests.

Of course, the bed wasn’t as big as the one in Meilin Village, because this was a new bed ordered by Song Wei Ping. Without the spliced plank bed, this bed was just an ordinary size.

Besides, it wasn’t a kang bed anymore.

But this bed was more comfortable than the one they had in Merlin Village.

In the evening, Xu Xiao Jiao laid on the bed after a busy day and stretched out comfortably, "Song Wei Ping, the mattress you bought is more comfortable than the mattress made of wheat straw."

Song Wei Ping lowered his head to fold her clothes. After putting them away, he sat on the bedside and read a book. The room was comfortably arranged. They also installed a bedside lamp, making reading more convenient than before.

Hearing this, Song Wei Ping turned to look at her with a smile on his face, "As long as you like it."

Xu Xiao Jiao nodded, "I like it very much. However, the bigger the bed, the better."

She smiled teasingly, "Song Wei Ping, is it really like what you said, can't make a bed as big as ours in Meilin Village?" 

She felt that Song Wei Ping must be playing tricks on her.

Song Wei Ping did have some small scheme, but he didn't lie to her, "Really! Look! The door is only so big. If there are beds more than two meters long horizontally, it can't get in."

Xu Xiao Jiao thought about it and felt it was true. She teased him, "Then you go and order a small bed. We can put it together."

Song Wei Ping put down his book and looked at her, "You still want me to sleep on the small bed?"

Xu Xiao Jiao not only nodded, but also added, "We can also put a bedside table between the big bed and the small bed to separate them. The well water does not interfere with the river water. During the day, we can put them together to prevent my Mom and others from seeing."

Song Wei Ping saw her curved eyebrows and knew she was joking. He leaned on the bed and stared at her silently, "You don't want to sleep with me this much?"

He said it so pitifully that Xu Xiao Jiao felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "Hey, Song Wei Ping, I was joking. Can’t you tell?"

Song Wei Ping lowered his eyes, took her hand, put it in his palm and played with her fingers, "I can't."

Xu Xiao Jiao scratched his palm with her fingers, "Liar."

Song Wei Ping smiled silently and stopped talking.

Xu Xiao Jiao laid on the bed and let him pinch her fingers without saying a word.

With a tacit understanding, the two of them enjoyed the current tranquility and peace after a long day of chaos.

After a long time, Song Wei Ping slightly opened his thin lips and uttered, "Jiao Jiao."

The night was filled with silence. His voice sounded magnetic, making Xu Xiao Jiao feel a little distracted.

Seeing her dazed eyes, Song Wei Ping reached out and stroked her cheek with his thumb, "Jiao Jiao."

Xu Xiao Jiao was unusually well-behaved and blinked, "Song Wei Ping."

  "En."

"Song Wei Ping." She called again.

Song Wei Ping sighed, stretched out his hand to pull her along with the quilt, and hugged her into his arms.

"Like a caterpillar." He laughed at her.

Xu Xiao Jiao pinched the corner of the quilt with her fingers, put her ear against his chest, and listened to his strong heartbeat. She couldn't say the words to make him put her down, and unconsciously called him, "Song Wei Ping."

Song Wei Ping reached out to rub her head, slowly smoothed her hair, and told her about his future plans, "In a few days, I will go to the south."

"So fast." Xu Xiao Jiao tightened her fingers. He was about to leave again.

Song Wei Ping hummed, "Now that the policy is completely liberalized, the opportunities are good. After staying at home for so long, it's time to go out and earn money for you to spend."

Speaking of money, Xu Xiao Jiao was a little worried, "But we don't have much money left. How can you do business if you don't have capital?"

Song Wei Ping stroked her smooth and cool hair and comforted her, "It's okay. I still have a few hundred at home. I'll borrow another thousand from Third Brother Li. It will be enough."

As he said that, he paused and continued, "However, I may be out for a longer time this time."

The last few times he went out, the longest was only a month. This time he wanted to stay longer and travel to more places. Sometimes, the time difference of a few days would lead to a lot of money difference. Moreover, the boss he worked with last time said there will be a lot of new things. He will have to examine them slowly.

"Third Brother Li won't go with you?"

"Recently, a matchmaker introduced him to a match. He is very interested in her and doesn't plan to go out in the near future. I can do it myself."

Other than that, he preferred to go out by himself.

For the first time, Xu Xiao Jiao felt a little reluctant to part, but she married Song Wei Ping because of his business talent. If she stopped him, where would the good days in the future come from?

Seeing that Xu Xiao Jiao was silent, Song Wei Ping lowered his head and asked her, "Will you miss me?"

Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head subconsciously, "No, I’ll miss your money."

Song Wei Ping wasn't angry either, "I'll miss you. I'll give you a call when I get there. Moving to town is convenient. When the time comes, you can go to the cooperative to answer the phone, okay?"

Xu Xiao Jiao no longer said any reverse words, "En."

TISHW 38




Chapter 38 Very interesting

Moving wasn't something that happens overnight. It takes time to find a house, and it takes a day or two to pack and organize. Anyway, it takes about a week.

Besides, the job Jiang Yu took was urgent. She had to submit the plan before she could spare time to look for a house.

"There's no need to rush." Qin Shiyu packed up his luggage and prepared to leave after taking a lunch break. Before leaving, he knocked on Jiang Yu's door and told her, "I won't be coming back for half a month anyway. You can find a house slowly. There are a lot of tricks when it comes to renting. In addition to the problems of the house itself, the equipment and facilities inside, and the neighbors of the property are all very important."

Jiang Yu nodded, feeling happy that he was leaving for half a month.

Qin Shiyu looked at her bright eyes and couldn't help but squint, "Forget it, I will have some free time after recording the fourth episode of "All Rounder 3". I'll go check it out with you then." 

Reaching here, he glanced at her and said, "Least that it’s not appropriate and you have to run back again. That would be so embarrassing."

Jiang Yu was originally immersed in the joy of Qin Shiyu's departure. When she heard what he said, she immediately looked at him expressionlessly, "Don't worry, absolutely won’t."

Qin Shiyu said lazily, "En, let's look for it together when I come back."

Jiang Yu softly harrumphed, "Okay."

Qin Shiyu turned around, feeling the glare from a certain person behind him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up...

Although Qin Shiyu’s speech still deserves a beating, Jiang Yu's mood wasn't affected much. After all, who would care about someone who was destined to be just a passerby in life? Hmph!

She would be happier if there was no one at home for the next ten days or so. At least she could wander around in comfortable pajamas.

Busying away, it was Saturday in the blink of an eye. The third episode of "All Rounder 3" was launched. At nine o'clock in the morning, Jiang Yu opened the live broadcast room of the show.

The assistant director sent her the contract and content summary of the fourth episode yesterday. He said that the next episode would probably involve working with the new members. Jiang Yu felt that it was necessary to get to know the other party.

The show hadn't officially started yet, but Qin Shiyu's name was all over the barrage in the live broadcast room and the entire screen was blocked from view.

From this point alone, one could see that Qin Shiyu's traffic had reached a new level. Many of them were viewers who were following "All Rounder 3" for the first time. They were completely here for Qin Shiyu.

Soon, the faces of the protagonist group appeared in the camera. They greeted the audience and introduced themselves in the same old manner.

Jiang Yu suddenly saw her name on the barrage:

【Hey, why doesn’t Jiang Yu be a good person? What is she messing around for when she is clearly so powerful? Now the program team has to change people. I wonder what’s the new person is like. 】

【Who says it’s not the case? They are really high-spec and funny together. They are very comfortable and interesting to watch. Alas, it’s a pity. 】

【I can’t believe what is said on the Internet? How can my Elder Sister Yu, who was so shy, have a chaotic private life? 】

【Rub above. I like her quite a bit too. I felt depressed for a while, but the entertainment industry has always been like this. Maybe we can only see the side of her that she wants us to see. 】

【Anyway, don’t think about her clearing her name. She responded so confidently to cheating last time, but this time she directly hid when it was revealed that her private life is messy. Doesn’t this explain everything? 】

Jiang Yu didn't expect that so many people would like her, and even feel sad for her. Her mood slightly fluctuated.

Soon someone came out to stop:

【Don’t cue those who aren’t here. It’s too disrespectful to Zhou Feifei. 】

【Yes, how do you know that the newcomer isn't as good as Jiang Yu? Our Feifei is very powerful! 】

While they were discussing, a girl with big maroon wavy hair appeared in the camera. She had a gentle and quiet temperament. She greeted the camera calmly and generously, "Hello everyone, I am Zhou Feifei."

【Younger Sister Feifei, we have come! 】

【What a cute girl. I heard she is a top university graduate from 985 University? 】

Zhou Feifei's fans immediately started popularizing science excitedly:

【N University top student, the key point is that my Younger Sister Fei has an orphan background. She have worked hard on her own to reach this point and is a super inspirational idol. 】

【An orphan? 】

【Yes, so since she got her first income, she will donate part of it to the welfare home every time. 】

【Anyway, she is a very heart-warming girl. The more you get to know her, the more you will like her. 】

After the show officially started, Zhou Feifei's performance was indeed good. She only concentrated on solving problems all the way. Although the passwords and finding clues at the beginning weren’t as exciting as Jiang Yu's instant solution, they were okay. The audience was quite happy to watch. The only thing that made people irk was that her fans on the barrage were too exaggerated.

Because celebrities all focus on learning artistic skills, their cultural level cannot be compared with those who focus on studying. Therefore, Zhou Feifei could receive countless exclamations when she solves a few problems in other variety shows. Difficult questions like "All Rounder" made her fans even more excited.

But the threshold of "All Rounder" was set. They were all top students. The questions at the beginning weren’t actually difficult. Ye Yuanyu and the others can solve them. They were just being polite to the new guest, however, end up getting stepped on by Zhou Feifei’s fans. They said things like, "Our Elder Sister Feifei is the best among top students.", "She can solve problems faster than Uni Q and Uni B! If she had a normal family, our Younger Sister Feifei must be a top student." and so on.

It seemed that everything Zhou Feifei had achieved was through her own efforts, while others relied on their family.

However, her background and inspirational deeds made it difficult for other viewers to comment. If they did, it would appear that they were cold-blooded and ruthless. So they could only endure it.

Until their mission was about to pass through a dark corridor, something suddenly jumped out. Zhou Feifei was so frightened that she was about to pounce on Qin Shiyu, but Qin Shiyu dodged it first. Latching onto nothing, Zhou Feifei could only hide in the corner and hug herself tightly in fear.

Zhou Feifei's fans couldn’t accept this:

【Holy crap, isn’t Qin Shiyu too graceless? 】

【Hug our Younger Sister Fei. My heart is breaking. 】

【Oh right, because Younger Sister Fei is an orphan, she was bullied and locked up in a dark room when she was small. That’s why she is particularly afraid of the dark. Qin Shiyu's avoidance is too much. 】

……

Outside the screen, Chen Yalian looked at the people's attacks on Qin Shiyu on the barrage, and finally showed a smile, "I didn't expect Zhou Feifei's fans to be quite so powerful. Now it's better. So what if he earns traffic because of me? It’s perfect to let everyone see how inhumane and incompetent he is. It’s best that he loses fans.”

Then she looked at the young man sitting nearby and smiled happily, "My son got the brains. If not, Mom will really not be able to swallow this breath."

Qin Luochuan pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "Mom, you are too anxious. He has only been in the circle for half a year, so his fame was nothing. Your rushing made it seem that you attach great importance to him. ."

Chen Yalian said, "You don't know that the little girl from the Shen family next door fell in love with him just because she saw this. Your dad and I went out to participate in an event, and there were some people who made a jab about how smart and outstanding he is and told your Dad to bring him back. How can Mom not be anxious?"

Qin Luochuan frowned when he heard this.

Chen Yalian said, "I see people in the entertainment industry having their houses collapse and so on. It's all due to trivial matters..."

Qin Luochuan narrowed his eyes, "They got to be popular enough. After all, the higher you climb, the harder you will fall."

Chen Yalian snorted, "It would be best if he can't even climb up."

Qin Luochuan looked at her, "Rely on that idiot you found?"

"I was thinking, with her trouble seeking personality, she can definitely cause something to happen? And that family too. You don't know how weird they are. If it works out, they can become that little beast's in-law. We will definitely have fun watching it every day."

At this point, Chen Yalian angrily vented out, "It's a shame that I've spent so much effort for nothing. They were so useless!"

Qin Luochuan shook his head, "Mom, your thinking is too simple. How could that idiot possibly handle Qin Shiyu? Moreover, her reputation is so bad. Even if something happens, everyone will automatically blame her. That elder brother of mine might even earn some sympathy." 

He sighed, "Haven’t you heard enough gossip?"

Chen Yalian’s expression turned somewhat bad when she thought about being ridiculed as a vicious stepmother because of her matchmaking between Jiang Yu and Qin Shiyu. Still, she snorted, "They are just saying sour remarks. For you, Mom isn’t afraid of suffering some grievance? Anyway, Qin Shiyu doesn’t have any chance of coming back.”

Qin Luochuan put his arms around her and said, "That’s why Son find a more suitable person?"

"Smart and beautiful. They know each other in the entertainment industry and like each other. It has nothing to do with us."

Chen Yalian looked at Zhou Feifei's appearance on the screen and frowned, "Can she handle it? What trouble can she cause for Qin Shiyu? Better not let him benefit instead."

Qin Luochuan smiled and said, "Big trouble will only be caused by ambitious and capable people. That Jiang Yu you found, didn’t even make a splash, no?"

Seeing that Chen Yalian couldn't figure it out, Qin Luochuan explained, "Think it like this, she is aiming for the position of the eldest young madam of the Qin Family, but found out that Qin Shiyu is an abandoned son? What will she do?"

"It would be fine if she has never been in contact. However, she was one step away from a wealthy family, how could she give up so easily?" He looked at Chen Yalian and smiled, "At that time, as long as there was a little possibility, she would do anything. Betrayal is the most simple matter to do.”

"So when the time comes, we can use her..." Chen Yalian's eyes lit up, "My son is brilliant! But..."

She looked at the gentle little face on the screen and worriedly expressed, "Are you sure she has ambition? I read on the Internet that she is smart and kind. And the boy from the Qi Family is chasing her?"  

Qin Luochuan said with a smile, "The entertainment industry is all about marketing. If she really has no ambition, she wouldn't use being an orphan as a gimmick. Let's put it this way, if she hadn't donated money to the orphanage every year, she might not have been able to grow so fast. Besides, ..." Qin Luochuan sneered, "Without ambition, why would she rush to "All Rounder" as soon as she heard that Qin Shiyu might be the eldest son of the Qin Family?"

"So, this kind of ambitious person who seems harmless to humans and animals is the most powerful. Clearly the perpetrator, but can make people think she is the victim. Isn't it perfect for dealing with my Elder Brother?"

Chen Yalian became happy.

In the live broadcast room, Zhou Feifei’s fans’ relentless criticism made Qin Shiyu’s fans angry:

【Since you are here to participate in the show, please do your homework. Our God Yu does not like physical contact with others. He isn't targeting Zhou Feifei. 】

【Is it okay to let people die and not save because you don’t like physical contact? Younger Sister Feifei has a psychological shadow. 】

【Don’t always make her out to be so miserable and kidnap people morally, okay? How do you know that my God Yu’s dislike for physical contact isn’t because of some psychological shadow? 】

【Moreover, Xiang Chen and Jian Cang were following her to take care of her. While her, she was very precise and jumped directly to God Yu. 】

  【What do you mean? Isn't this hilarious? My Younger Sister Feifei has been in the industry for four years. Although she isn't first or second tier, she is better than Qin Shiyu, okay? He only has a higher IQ. What else does he have? 】

【Even passers-by can’t let these words slide. Do you have a higher IQ? You make it sound like there’s a street full of high IQ. Moreover, even if I’m not a fan, I have to be honest, Qin Shiyu's appearance is top-notch in the entertainment industry. 】

  【So what? If a girl as superior as my Younger Sister Fei dates, it may not even be Qin Shiyu’s turn. 】

【That's right. Her future husband has to save the world. 】

【ROFL, who isn't worthy of whom? Qin Shiyu's girlfriend saved the entire universe! 】

Jiang Yu read the childish comparisons on the barrage and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Probably because they felt that empty talk had no power, Zhou Feifei’s fans even started to give examples:

【The crown prince of Bright Entertainment has already chased our Feifei, okay? 】

【And Qin Shiyu? Putting aside financial resources, with such a cold personality, he is definitely not qualified to be a boyfriend even if he is perfect as an idol, . 】

Qin Shiyu’s fans weren't to be outdone:

【How hilarious. You keep saying that Zhou Feifei is inspirational, but you actually laugh at our God Yu, who comes from an ordinary background? 】

【If you want to compare it like this, our God Yu’s fiancée is the only daughter of Yiyi Jewelry! 】

Jiang Yu:……

"Hahaha..." Chen Yalian was about to die from laughing, "They actually say that Zhao Shunong is Qin Shiyu's fiancée?"

"No one in the circle would talk about this kind of matter. How do these fans know about it? Qin Shiyu said it himself?" She was really happy now and quickly turned to Qin Luochuan, "Do you want to contact Zhao Shunong? Does she have a Weibo account? Let her clarify."

"I want to see how Qin Shiyu behaves after Zhao Shunong denies it."

Qin Luochuan obediently picked up the phone and dialed, but it indicated that she was on a call.

Chen Yalian then made time to care about her son, "Can't get through? That's right! Didn't Zhao Shunong follow you abroad? Why did she come back alone? You two had a quarrel?"

Qin Luochuan said, "I guess she saw me having too much fun with the foreign classmates and couldn't stand it anymore and ran back because he was jealous."

Chen Yalian chided, "What’s with you. You know that she is a traditional girl, why do you want to provoke her? Now that you have chased her, you should treat her well." She said longingly, "She is the only daughter of the Zhao Family. From now on, not only the Qin Family will be yours, but the Zhao Family will be yours."

Seeing Qin Luochuan staring at his phone in contemplation, Chen Yalian patted him and said, "Did you hear me? You pretend to be nice and we'll talk about it after you get married."

Qin Luochuan smiled confidently, "Don't worry."

Chen Yalian watched the quarrel on the barrage and laughed out loud, "No matter what, call Zhao Shunong first and ask her to clarify."

The barrage style in the live broadcast room of "All Rounder" had changed directly from a high-spec variety show to a gossipy one:

Fans from all over the world have gone from comparing each other to questioning the authenticity:

One party said that the crown prince of Bright Entertainment has a fiancée, so Zhou Feifei shouldn't be a mistress even if she got close.

Zhou Feifei's fans were mocking them for lying. No matter how outstanding Qin Shiyu was, he was from an ordinary family. How can he be worthy of the only daughter of the Zhao Family?

A wealthy family like Yiyi Jewelry paid great attention to being well-matched.

Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows. Why did they say that Qin Shiyu's family was ordinary?

If Qin Shiyu's family was ordinary, then there would be no wealthy families in the country.

Her phone vibrated. When she turned it on, she saw Zhao Shunong had sent a blood-vomiting expression: 【Fudge. 】

Apparently Zhao Shunong was paying attention to the live broadcast. Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing.

After a while, the barrage was filled with shock:

【Damn! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

  【What’s going on? Does Qin Shiyu have someone he likes? ! ! ! 】

Others are confused:

  【What happened? What's up with everyone suddenly? 】

【Go to Weibo, pointing at the Weibo of the heiress of the Zhao Family,  Looking for trouble when idle. Isn’t this news too exciting? ! 】

TISHW 37.5




Because of this, she tried every means to partake in "All Rounder 3".

Originally, she was just skeptical. But today her agent brought her concrete news.

Last night when she went to a dinner party, she heard that several wealthy ladies were anxious to make a protective software that would prevent others from hacking into their mobile phones. It turned out that the people who framed Qin Shiyu two days ago were from the Qin Family. They probably wanted to prevent him from inheriting the family. Unexpectedly, Qin Shiyu wasn't a fuel-efficient lamp and directly hacked into those people's mobile phones. Several of the instigators were frightened. Others felt that their mobile phones were unsafe and wanted to find someone to protect their mobile phones. After all, the things on their mobile phones weren't something those marketing accounts can compare.

When the other party was looking for someone to inquire around, Fang Ke quickly accepted the task and said that Zhou Feifei majored in IT in a university and was very familiar with it.

Fang Xiao happily said, "You got to put your heart in it. This isn't a big job, but you have to do it well. Those rich ladies will remember you. Even if Qin Shiyu's side doesn't work, there’s another path to walk.”

Zhou Feifei was delighted, "Don't worry. I will seize the time and try to get it done for them in half a month."

Fang Ke sighed, "It can be seen that studying is very useful. Even in the entertainment industry, top students are popular." Other celebrities couldn't even understand this, let alone get the job.

Zhou Feifei returned to the computer, looked at the message sent by the other party, and suddenly sneered, "No deposit required. If you aren't satisfied, you don’t have to pay? Since people are so sincere, what’s the harm in giving him the work? Just hope that this classmate won’t lose the wife and lose the troops when the time comes.”

At the same time, she hired someone else to do it. Anyway, it won’t affect it.

Jiang Yu held no expectations at first. After browsing a few jobs, she recalled that the words she sent were a little embarrassing. It made her look like she was an anxious liar. Fortunately, it was just a text conversation and she didn't know each other. Otherwise, she would have wanted to hide in the ground. .

Due to this, she was a little dazed after receiving the other party’s demand description.

【Since you said so, I will give you a chance. However, I must state in advance that if I’m not satisfied, I will not pay. 】

Jiang Yu noticed the language trap inside. Oh right. She didn't want the deposit and allowed no payment if she didn't meet the requirements. There was nothing to lose if the other party tried. The standard for "unsatisfactory" was broad.

Still, Jiang Yu replied: 【Okay. 】

She will satisfy the other party. If the other party was really knowledgeable, he wouldn’t dare not default on her remuneration even if he wasn’t in the industry. (* ̄︶ ̄)

Jiang Yu opened the file with great interest. Then the more she looked at it, the weirder her expression became. Why did this demand seem to be aimed at her function for dealing with marketing accounts from this time?

Was it okay to attack herself?

Jiang Yu looked at the 30,000 yuan... Of course there was no problem. Not only was it possible, it could be solved faster because she was familiar with it.

It was just that the computer was a bit of a hindrance. The original owner was only interested in clothes, bags and the like. This computer was just a basic configuration and she wasn't comfortable using it. Jiang Yu was pondering whether to assemble a suitable one first, when she received a flash delivery.

Jiang Yu was confused, but the courier said it was from her fellow country folk.

Jiang Yu immediately became vigilant. Where did this fellow county folk come from? Could it be that someone tracked her based on the original owner's information? What could be inside?

Just as she was guessing, her phone received a message:

Looking for trouble while idle: 【Fellow country folk, giving you a new gift. Don't be afraid, it's not a bomb. 】

Jiang Yu:……

She was a little dumbfounded. It turned out to be Zhao Shunong. This person finally realized that she wasn't the original Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu had no intention of following the plot from the beginning. That was why she quickly noticed that something was wrong with Zhao Shunong. Her changes couldn’t be hidden from Zhao Shunong who knew the plot. It would only be a matter of time before she knew. So Jiang Yu didn't deliberately hide it, but she didn't expect Zhao Shunong to be so slow.

No wonder she rushed over to apologize yesterday and looked at her with sympathy. It turned out that she finally caught on.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yu thought that with her fiery temperament, she would directly ask her directly when she discovered something amiss. Unexpectedly, she cared about her thoughts and cautiously tested her.

Her golden finger was sometimes very careful.

Jiang Yu signed for the gift and replied to her: 【I accepted it, thank you. 】

A triumphant pig-head emoji reply came back instantly. One could feel her impatience across the screen. It was as if she had been anxiously waiting for her response.

Amused, Jiang Yu replied "Thank you, Boss."

Jiang Yu wouldn’t reject this kind of kindness. Although she wanted to stay away from the protagonist group to avoid trouble, she didn’t intend to live completely alone in this world. She would gradually regain her teachers, friends, and classmates. Her final goal was a comfortable life.

Besides, why would she refuse a rich woman as a best friend?

Once she opened the gift, Jiang Yu once again sighed over her wise decision. It was great to have a rich friend!

Zhao Shunong was ruthless and unreasonable toward her enemies, but she was surprisingly considerate toward her friends. What she gave her happened to be a high-configuration laptop and a set of top-notch peripherals.

Jiang Yu basked in the lightness and smooth speed of her fingertips. It was rare for her to want to give Zhao Shunong a hug. This gift was just what she wanted!

Now that she had a job and a handy tool, Jiang Yu's life was very peaceful in the next few days.

She slept until she naturally woke up every day. Then she spent two or three hours taking on translation or data processing work. She earned an average of five to six hundred yuan to cover her basic life. During the rest of the time, she wrote the program required by the client. Her life was fulfilling and satisfying.

According to this progress, within a month, her life will no longer be tight. Although it wasn't as good as her previous life, she can at least have freedom to order takeout.

When she saves enough principal, she can move out of here and be completely free!

Unexpectedly, her dream came true the next day.

Jiang Yu received the payment for the second episode of "All Rounder 3". Looking at the numbers above, she counted them twice and couldn't help but cover her heart. Oh my god, why was the second episode's remuneration so much?

She already thought the ten thousand in the first episode was a lot, but this time it was nearly one hundred thousand!

One must know that even if the time on the road over and back was included, it had only taken three days. Three days, and it was  a hundred thousand remuneration. This price-performance ratio... In her previous life, Jiang Yu did projects with her boss and it didn’t earn such a high income. More importantly, she had a good time. .

Jiang Yu's heart began to waver violently. Was it worth giving up her wealth just for those few protagonists?

Was she sticking herself in a corner and attached too much importance to them? One hundred thousand...

Compared with her saving up of five or six hundred yuan a day like a hamster and the work wasn’t available every day, participating in one episode of the program could cover her income for several months...

Just as Jiang Yu was weighing it, the assistant director of "All Rounder" called and asked with a smile, "Have you received the payment?"

Jiang Yu suppressed her excitement and replied, "I have. Thank you director."

The assistant director smiled and said, "En, your reward is larger this time. After all, you have been wronged."

Jiang Yu understood. At that time, everyone on the Internet suspected her of cheating and many people scolded her extremely unpleasantly. However, she performed very well on the show. And at the same time proved her innocence. The audience, whether out of guilt or distress, bought a lot of gifts like repaying a grudge.

"This is just the beginning." The assistant director grinned, "After all, you don't have many fans and the contract proportion signed by the newcomer is small. Once you record two more episodes and the number of fans increases, the platform will give you a new sharing agreement. Possible several fold more.”

It could multiply? Jiang Yu continued to waver.

The director sighed and said, "It's a pity that you didn't come for the third period. For the fourth period, we want to have a group building camp. Would you consider it?"

Jiang Yu nodded immediately, "Thank you, director. Could you please send me the contract?" 

There was no need to waver. What did the protagonist group amount to? Only by having money can she leave the protagonist group better, right?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu wanted to spin around happily. Let’s not talk about the future, the large amount of money she received so far made her feel relaxed physically and mentally. If it was as the director said, after she finishes recording this season of "All Rounder", her debt may possibly be all paid back.

No, she got to celebrate properly. She changed her clothes and went out to buy meat. This time, the beef stew was better.

After returning from the supermarket, Jiang Yu happily busied away. Once the beef was almost ready, the security door opened and Qin Shiyu came back from outside. Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment.  

They haven't seen each other for a good few days.

That day, she had been worried that Qin Shiyu would eat with her every day when he lived here. In the end, it was just braised pork and congee the next day. After that, she became busy and stayed in the room all day. While Qin Shiyu started going out early and coming back late. It seemed that they only regarded this place as a place to stay. In the past four or five days, the two of them have met two or three times in a hurry. They felt comfortable living together.

RIght now... Jiang Yu stared at his two big suitcases. He actually started to add things to this house?

Qin Shiyu smelled the fragrance in the air and seemed to be in a good mood, "Is there something good?"

Jiang Yu came back to her senses and immediately said happily, "That's right, let's celebrate. Let's eat tomato beef brisket today." 

Who cared if he stayed here or not. She won't stay here soon!

It didn’t matter if she treated him to a meal one last time.

Jiang Yu turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare some extra dishes. Qin Shiyu handed her a pack of cooked side dishes he bought and went back to the room to sort his things.

Jiang Yu was surprised that he actually brought food back?

Perhaps because she was about to leave, Jiang Yu put aside her caution against Qin Shiyu and discovered that although this man liked to provoke her, he actually had the proper etiquette and was pretty good.

After Qin Shiyu finished tidying up, Jiang Yu's dishes were served. Each person had a bowl of beef, and in the middle was a plate of shredded potatoes and the cooked side dishes that Qin Shiyu had brought back. It was quite a sumptuous meal for two people.

Moreover, the two of them were in a very good mood. Jiang Yu could leave here immediately because she had made money. Qin Shiyu didn't know why and Jiang Yu didn't ask. Still, she felt that her decision would make him happier.

When she was about to finish eating, Jiang Yu said, "The reward for the second episode of "All Rounder 3" has arrived. I will find a house to move out in the next few days. I have been troublesome to you before."

Qin Shiyu was stunned, "Move away?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "I was ignorant before and caused you a lot of trouble. I won't bother you again in the future."

Qin Shiyu was silent for a rare moment and looked up at her, "It's not too much trouble. Besides, I owe you a big favor for this matter."

Jiang Yu was surprised by his act of keeping her. When she heard him saying that he owed her a favor, she instantly caught on, "So you've come back to stay these days because you're worried about me?"

This was really unexpected. In her impression, Qin Shiyu had always treated her as an insignificant person. She never expected that he would personally come to take care of her emotions. Now that she thought about it, he had followed her when she went to the supermarket on the first day. It was because he was afraid that something would happen to her. Since she was indeed fine afterwards, he left and got busy again.

Although it seemed that he had no feelings, he didn't like to owe favors.

But why did he add things like he planned to live here permanently?

Jiang Yu stopped probing further and said directly, "Actually, that matter is caused by my involvement in the matter. It should be resolved by me. Now that we are settled, you don't have to bear the burden."

Qin Shiyu nodded and said no more. It was just that he didn't know why the food in his mouth felt tasteless unlike before.

After eating this time, Jiang Yu rushed to wash the dishes. Qin Shiyu went back to the room without saying anything.

Xu Lehua called and said, "The reward we helped Jiang Yu renegotiate has just arrived. She must be very happy. Your way of repaying is a wonderful idea."

Qin Shiyu lowered his eyes and suddenly let out a drawling smile, "It's not enough."

WLAEF afterward 1




 May and September were probably the most comfortable times in the north. It was neither cold nor hot. A thin shirt was sufficient.

Shen Feng Ming rode a horse and brought Jiang Yun Zhu back from the pier.

The two of them took their time, enjoying the gentle breeze and admiring the scenery along the way.

Suddenly, Jiang Yun Zhu saw a clump of wildflowers blooming prettily on the side of the road. The bright yellow flowers were as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

Shen Feng Ming noticed the look in her eyes, bent down and picked out a branch that bloomed best, and wanted to hand it to her. But when he lowered his head and saw her hair full of black hair, he got a sudden impulse. He picked one from the flower and inserted it into her hair.

Jiang Yun Zhu noticed his movement and turned back to look at him.

With her white and translucent skin, twinkling eyebrows, she was as bright and moving as the sunlight when wearing such a golden flower.

Shen Feng Ming handed the remaining flowers to Jiang Yun Zhu.

Jiang Yun Zhu saw the flower and then touched her head with her hand. She knew what he had just done.

"Does it look pretty?" she asked, raising her head slightly.

"Pretty." Shen Feng Ming's eyebrows were soft.

Jiang Yun Zhu's eyes spun. She suddenly hooked her arm around his neck and pulled him toward her.

Shen Feng Ming lowered his head slightly, wanting to kiss her.

Jiang Yun Zhu put a yellow flower in his hair and then turned her head, as if she was properly traveling.

Shen Feng Ming had keen senses and naturally knew what she had just done.

"You aren’t going to look at your own handiwork?" He didn't take down the yellow flowers, but instead grasped her waist with his hands and asked in a low voice.

Actually, Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to see Shen Feng Ming with flowers...

Unable to resist the temptation, she turned back.

Due to the rush, the flower was placed a little crookedly. Still, it looked hilarious, like a small flower blooming on his head.

She curved her eyebrows. Before she could reveal a smile, she was kissed by Shen Feng Ming.

She wanted to break free, but a hand held the back of her neck. Holding her firmly so that she couldn't break free.

As if Shen Feng Ming was punishing her, this kiss was very oppressive.

Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to resist at first, but then she just went limp into his arms, breathing heavily.

"Let's go back early." Shen Feng Ming whispered in her ear.

Jiang Yun Zhu was very close to him, so she naturally noticed the changes in his body and knew what he meant by those words.

After the wedding night, he was worried about her physical discomfort and the two of them never had any skin-to-skin contact again.

Now her body had recovered...

 "En." Jiang Yun Zhu responded softly. Her face flushed. He treated her well and she wanted to treat him better.

Her voice was very light. Still, Shen Feng Ming heard her clearly. He immediately whipped his horse and rushed toward the capital.

When they almost arrived in the capital, Jiang Yun Zhu remembered the little yellow flower on his head and quickly helped him take it off. If someone saw Commissioner-in-chief Shen entering the city with a small flower on his head, she would be guilty of a big crime.

The two wanted to go back home immediately, but when they were passing by a street, a voice suddenly stopped them, "Yun Zhu."

Jiang Yun Zhu followed the voice and saw that it was Qin Yao. Xie Lian was standing next to her.

Interaction with Xie Chen became less and less. Jiang Yun Zhu hadn’t seen Xie Lian for a long time.

When Xie Lian saw Jiang Yun Zhu, she looked like she wanted to speak but didn't dare.

"Official Shen." Qin Yao tentatively greeted Shen Feng Ming. This was the first time she had seen Shen Feng Ming since she knew his identity. She didn't know what he would do to her. But he was Jiang Yun Zhu's husband, so it wasn’t good if she didn't greet.

"Miss Qin." Shen Feng Ming's voice was clear and booming, but there was no malice in it.

Qin Yao became much bolder and said to Jiang Yun Zhu, "The emperor had made me the County Lord of Qingxia."

"Oh?" Jiang Yun Zhu vaguely guessed something. Then she wanted to get off her horse. Since she happened to meet Qin Yao, she should meet Xie Chen and have a good chat with her.

Sensing her thoughts, Shen Feng Ming dismounted first and then helped her down.

It was just a simple gaze and movement. The sight of it had Qin Yao sighed in her heart. If one only looked at now, who would have thought that the man in front was the legendary Commissioner-in-chief Shen who killed without blinking an eye.

"If you are busy, go and work away first." Jiang Yun Zhu had a lot to say to Qin Yao, so she told Shen Feng Ming this as she was afraid that he would be impatient from waiting.

"Okay. I'll pick you up later." Shen Feng Ming knew that they had something to say that they couldn't talk about with him nearby and replied.

"I can go back by myself." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

"It's okay, I'll pick you up later." Shen Feng Ming said, already getting on his horse.

Whatever. Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want to argue with him about these trivial matters.

After Shen Feng Ming left, Qin Yao returned to her true self, lively and cheerful. She took a look at the small yellow flower on Jiang Yun Zhu's head and praised, "It's beautiful."

Only then did Jiang Yun Zhu remember that she was wearing the little yellow flower on her head. However, forget it. She’ll wear it.

The three of them entered the teahouse and found a seat to sit down.

"Qingxia County Lord?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked Qin Yao.

Qin Yao was very happy, "The imperial edict came yesterday, saying that I had contributed to the court by relieving the victims."

Jiang Yun Zhu understood that it was indeed because of Lu Prefecture's relief work for the victims.

"I got to thank you." Qin Yao took Jiang Yun Zhu's hand and said. That idea was hers. If it hadn't been for her, she might have married Subprefectural Magistrate He's son and fallen into a fire pit. So don’t even mention becoming Qingxia County Lord.

She treated her truly well.

"It's not necessarily all because of me." Jiang Yun Zhu said. When she told Qin Yao to openly do this matter, she had the intention to make her famous. But to be named the county lord, one needed someone to help them in the court.

She thought of Lin Ting An, who seemed to have reached an agreement with Boss Qin.

"What do you mean?" Qin Yao asked.

Jiang Yun Zhu shook her head, "It's nothing." 

Anyway, this matter should be over. Since Boss Qin didn't tell Qin Yao, she didn't need to say anything.

Qin Yao didn't ask further questions and chatted with Jiang Yun Zhu about something else.

For example, she brought Xie Lian out today because she wanted to help her buy some clothes. And for example, Xie Chen.

Speaking of Xie Chen, Qin Yao's voice slowly dropped. Her face showed worry.

"What?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.

"It's just that he's too busy. He leaves early and comes home late every day." Qin Yao seemed to complain.

No, it should be for something else. Jiang Yun Zhu knew, but didn't ask.

The two chatted for a long time. Qin Yao looked up and saw a man riding a horse across the street. She said to Jiang Yun Zhu, "Official Shen is here to pick you up. Go back quickly."

Jiang Yun Zhu also saw Shen Feng Ming,  "En." 

Then she added, "If anything happens, you can come to me at any time."

"Okay." Qin Yao agreed.

Jiang Yun Zhu stood up and left the teahouse.

Shen Feng Ming pulled her onto the horse and returned to Shen's home.

Jiang Yun Zhu was thinking about what happened just now and was a little absent-minded.

The two returned to Shen's home. It was already dinner time. They had dinner with Princess Danyang and Academician Shen. They wanted to go back to the room, but Princess Danyang halted Jiang Yun Zhu and said she had something to tell her.

Shen Feng Ming stood there and stared at Princess Danyang.

Irked, Princess Danyang glared at him. She wouldn't eat his wife.

Only then, Shen Feng Ming returned to the room first.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yun Zhu returned to the room holding a booklet.

"What did Mother tell you?" Shen Feng Ming was waiting for her.

"Didn't say anything." Jiang Yun Zhu said. Alright, Princess Danyang had talked about the issue of heirs. She had already reached a consensus with Shen Feng Ming on this matter.

Shen Feng Ming pondered and asked, "Are you worried about something today?"

There was something. It was about Gu Yan Zhou and Xie Chen...

Shen Feng Ming held her on his lap, "Is there anything you can't tell me?"

Jiang Yun Zhu had previously speculated whether it was because she and Shen Feng Ming were getting closer and closer that they distanced themselves from her. After all, Shen Feng Ming's identity and reputation... If this were the case, what would he think if she told him?

"En?" Shen Feng Ming squeezed her waist. He discovered that he particularly liked grasping her waist. Her waist was so slender that it seemed like it would break if grasped, but he knew that her waist was actually very flexible.

Feeling his strength, Jiang Yun Zhu decided to speak clearly.

"Gu Yan Zhou..."

After saying this name, Jiang Yun Zhu clearly felt that Shen Feng Ming's hand holding her waist became stronger.

He couldn't be jealous, right? Jiang Yun Zhu found it funny. She and Gu Yan Zhou had nothing.

"Since Xie Chen and Gu Yan Zhou were appointed as officials, they rarely interacted with me. Today I saw Qin Yao. After talking to her, I felt that she seemed to be hiding something from me." Jiang Yun Zhu finished in one breath.

So it was like this. Shen Feng Ming said, "Gu Yan Zhou is in the Hanlin Academy. The people in the Hanlin Academy are all supporters of the Crown Prince. As for Xie Chen, Jingzhao Manor used to always follow the lead of the Sixth Prince. Later, it was replaced with a new governor and the situation got better.”

His meaning was that Gu Yan Zhou sided with the crown prince, while Xie Chen sided with the sixth prince?
