After Appearing on a Dating Show with a Top-Star Omega - Chapter 20

Originally, Jiang Yuan had booked a restaurant for noon, but Yu Qingshi still wanted to return to the house and eat the food she made.

So the two packed up and took the car back to the house.

Qin Yiting had not set any requirement for how long the date had to last. Logically speaking, at this time, everyone should have been eating lunch at restaurants outside.

But when the two pushed open the door and entered, they discovered that the remaining four people were all sitting neatly in the living room.

The sharp-eyed ones immediately noticed the new silver earring on Yu Qingshi’s ear when she came back.

The paper bags the two carried were printed with the words Silver Moon Handmade, so it was not hard to guess what they had gone to do.

They wore matching earrings, the atmosphere around them so sweet and sticky that it was completely out of place compared with the mood here.

Seeing them return, Gu Feifei went upstairs without even turning her head.

This time, Ling Yu did not follow.

The two of them had originally come to stir up CP hype for their drama and attract traffic. Unfortunately, even though they had cheated and told each other in advance, Gu Feifei had still chosen wrong.

The atmosphere inside was awkward and strange, as if night frost had condensed in the air.

Lei Lei forced a smile and greeted them. “You’re back?”

“Mm. We came back to eat lunch,” Jiang Yuan replied.

Yu Qingshi’s gaze swept over them. Seeing that all three of them looked rather unhappy, she silently pulled Jiang Yuan into the kitchen.

[What happened?]

[Let me explain for those who didn’t watch the other livestream.

The other two couples both chose wrong, so they came back without going on dates.

Ling Yu found out Gu Feifei had picked first and immediately exploded. The two of them had a fight.

Lei Lei and Chen Shu were calmer, but Chen Shu did make a jab, saying Lei Lei’s power bank choice was too tacky.]

[Oh my god, that’s scary. I’m leaving with our only dating-show seedling.]

[Hahahahaha, I have to say Lei Lei is also a comedian. Why choose a power bank?]

[Maybe because her surname is Lei.]

[Ling Yu and Lei Lei both hinted at their own names. Fine, so Jiang Yuan is just the silly honest one, but the key thing is, she actually chose right.]

……

The scene seemed a little difficult to control, but Qin Yiting was not worried at all. She directly switched the livestream camera to Yu Qingshi and Jiang Yuan.

The two were cooking in the kitchen.

This time, Yu Qingshi was no longer circling around Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan had handed her the glorious task of cutting potatoes.

The peeled potatoes were round and slippery, making them difficult to hold down.

Jiang Yuan demonstrated for Yu Qingshi and taught her, “Hold it down with your knuckles. This way, you won’t cut your fingers.”

She curled her fingers and pressed them against the potato, cutting it in half.

Yu Qingshi watched from the side, full of confidence. Afraid Jiang Yuan would finish cutting all the potatoes, she quickly stopped her. “All right, Yuanyuan. I’ll do it, I’ll do it.”

Jiang Yuan handed the knife to Yu Qingshi and stood beside her, still worried, watching.

It was Yu Qingshi’s first time trying to cut vegetables, so her movements were clumsy and unfamiliar.

Her hair fell down, and her hands were stiff and hesitant. The potato even tried to escape from her grasp several times. The knife fell with “clang, clang” sounds, as if it might cut her hand at any moment.

Jiang Yuan watched from the side with her heart jumping in fear and did not dare leave at all.

In the past, she had only let Yu Qingshi do tasks like washing vegetables, while the rest of the time, Yu Qingshi watched from the side. Who would have known she had suddenly developed the idea of learning to cook?

Jiang Yuan stepped forward and tucked Yu Qingshi’s loose hair behind her ear. She asked, “Should I do the next one?”

“It’s fine, Yuanyuan. I’ve already completely mastered it. You go cook the stir-fry first.”

“Can you? Are your hands still sore?” Jiang Yuan still remembered those red fingertips from the handmade shop.

“They’re much better. Look, Yuanyuan.” Yu Qingshi stretched her left hand over. Her fingertips were fair and tender, and the red marks from earlier were already gone.

Jiang Yuan relaxed a little. Seeing that Yu Qingshi was becoming more and more skilled, she reminded her, “Then tell me if you get tired. I’ll take over.”

[I’m telling you, these two are way too sticky.]

[My teeth are going to ache from the sweetness.]

[Producer Qin really knows what everyone likes to watch.]

[Dog food? Actually, I also kind of want to eat the melon from the other side. [touching fingers]]

“Ah!”

“Clang!”

Metal fell with a clear, piercing sound.

Hearing it, Jiang Yuan quickly turned back. “What happened, Qingshi?”

Yu Qingshi was holding her finger. The knuckle of her index finger had been cut, and a bit of blood had appeared.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan immediately held up the injured hand and was about to put the knuckle into her mouth.

Halfway through, she suddenly realized something. Her hand stopped, and the knuckle froze against her lips, not moving for a long time.

Her lips were warm and soft, and even Yu Qingshi’s finger bone seemed to be warmed by them. Yu Qingshi also froze.

The two remained stiff for a few seconds before Jiang Yuan was the first to react. She pulled back and, as if trying to cover things up, blew on the wound.

“I’ll take you to treat it.”

Jiang Yuan did not let go of her hand and pulled Yu Qingshi out of the kitchen.

The three people in the living room were still in a cold stalemate, no one knew what they were competing over.

Seeing them come out, Chen Shu’s gaze moved over and paused for a moment on Jiang Yuan’s lips.

She called, “Jiang Yuan.”

“Mm?” Jiang Yuan was in a hurry and turned her head abruptly, speaking quickly. “Is something wrong?”

Chen Shu pointed at her lips and thoughtfully reminded her, “Your mouth. You kissed her until she bled.”

“……”

“……”

The air went silent, as if with a “bong,” two bright red little tomatoes had grown from a vine.

The two of them responded vaguely and hurried upstairs.

Seeing their figures leave at top speed, Chen Shu touched her face and sighed. “You’re recording a show, so you should show some restraint too.”

“You’re really young…”

[Chen Shu ahahahaha, I’m dying, ahahahaha.]

[Honored as the leader of the CP fans. Today’s dog-cat Super Topic spicy food is here, let’s go!]

[Seatbelt fastened. Are we driving from the kitchen to the bedroom, head chef?]

[Aiyo, kissing the wound~ [sinister smile.jpg]]

[Jiang Yuan: Pain, pain, fly away~ Pain, pain, fly away~]

[If you don’t go to the hospital soon, it’s going to heal, okay. [finger heart]]

Jiang Yuan pulled Yu Qingshi to sit on the sofa and brought over the medical kit.

She searched past the alcohol and took out the iodine from the corner.

Jiang Yuan dipped a cotton swab in iodine and applied it to the wound. “This doesn’t hurt.”

Although she said that, she still held Yu Qingshi’s fingertip and blew on it.

Yu Qingshi’s heart stirred. She hooked Jiang Yuan’s finger with her pinky. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

The wound was shallow and had only bled a few drops, all of which had ended up on Jiang Yuan’s lips.

The red was bright and eye-catching, especially striking against those pink lips.

Yu Qingshi raised her hand and wiped away that bit of blood. The blood that should have dried had remained in its original state because of the damp warmth between lips and teeth, and it was wiped away with a light touch.

“I should have been watching beside you.” Jiang Yuan lowered her head, her tone full of self-blame.

Their first date: she had brought Yu Qingshi to a handmade shop that made her hands tired, and at noon while cooking, Yu Qingshi had gotten hurt again.

Today was such a failure…

Jiang Yuan crouched beside the sofa, dispirited.

Yu Qingshi seemed able to see the drooping ears on top of the other person’s head. She stretched out her hand and scratched Jiang Yuan’s chin. “It’s just a little broken skin, and it was because I was careless. Yuanyuan, don’t be nervous.”

“Mm.” Jiang Yuan’s voice was muffled, as if coming from her chest.

Her cheek felt itchy, but she did not avoid it. She obediently tilted her face up for Yu Qingshi to scratch.

“Then will you…” Jiang Yuan murmured, leaving her words unfinished before suddenly stopping.

Every date required them to score their partner. To avoid repeated wrong selections, the date score would directly affect the next choice of partner.

“Mm?” Yu Qingshi had not heard clearly. She leaned closer. “What is it?”

“Nothing.” Jiang Yuan shook her head. “Qingshi must be hungry, right? I’ll go downstairs and finish cooking.”
