Li Shaocheng's door opened, revealing that weak and pitiful expression once again.
"Orange, I made some porridge. Would you like to try it?" Hearing her sister's words, Li Shaocheng's expression suddenly changed. She shot a sharp glance at her sister and questioned, "You made porridge?!"
Even the filming crew was taken aback for a moment before Li Shaocheng realized her mistake and quickly changed her expression.
"Sister, I'm so surprised! You don't know how to cook, yet you made porridge for me. You didn't hurt yourself, did you?"
Li Shaocheng held her sister's hands, seemingly wanting to examine them closely for injuries.
Her sister was about to answer that she hadn't when she felt the pressure on her hands. She quickly changed her response: "I got a little burned, but it's okay. It was my first time making porridge, but I had watched you do it before, so it went fairly smoothly. Should I bring it into your room?"
Li Shaocheng nodded, making room for her to enter.
"Then you rest up, and I'll head out, okay?"
"Alright, thank you, sister!"
After her sister and the cameraman left, Li Shaocheng glared fiercely at the bowl of porridge. If she hadn't been worried about being overheard, she would have smashed it!
However, Li Shaocheng's momentary lapse in her pleasant expression was caught by many netizens.
[I finally figured out what's off! Li Shaocheng gives me the feeling that she's just playing the role of a good sister!]
[Exactly! What normal sister would put her hands on a bowl of porridge her sister is holding? Is she worried it's not hot enough?!]
[I just saw that the sister's hands were red...]
[People with dirty minds see everything as dirty! Is it wrong for Orange to care about her sister?!]
[I just want to say it's terrifying when you think about it.]
Meanwhile, in Jing Zejun's livestream, fans were eagerly waiting for his encounter with Wen Qingyan, too busy to pay attention to others' arguments.
Jing Yi woke up in the afternoon, just in time to see the sunset from the villa. She stretched comfortably.
Downstairs in the camping area, Jing Zeyou and Jing Zeqian were already preparing ingredients for the evening's camping meal.
Seeing Jing Yi come down, Jing Zeqian was about to tease her when his phone rang. He took it out and saw it was Wen Qingyan. "Hello, Qingyan? Are you stuck outside?"
Jing Zeqian frowned slightly, while the livestream comments exploded with laughter.
[I'm dying of laughter! He came for a chance encounter, but there's security at the villa!]
[I have to say, the Jing family's security is really on point everywhere!]
[Hahaha! Actor Wen should be grateful his boss is filming this variety show!]
[Help! Little Yin must be so embarrassed, someone save the child!]
Jing Zeyou looked up at Jing Zeqian, who had just hung up the phone, and asked, "What's wrong?" Jing Zeqian replied with a complicated expression, "Wen Qingyan is at the foot of the mountain..."
Jing Zeyou was confused, "The foot of the mountain?" He couldn't understand why Wen Qingyan would be there, while Jing Yi was already excitedly calling upstairs to Jing Zejun, "Junjun! Actor Wen is here!"
Oh my goodness! To think someone would chase after a person all the way to the mountains – it had to be Actor Wen!
Hearing Jing Yi's voice, Jing Zejun hurried downstairs, equally shocked by the news.
A few minutes later, security let Wen Qingyan and his companion in, and their business car parked in front of the villa.
"Mr. Jing."
Wen Qingyan greeted Jing Zeqian with a smile, appearing completely at ease. Beside him, Wen Yin was blushing and looking uncomfortable. Seeing Jing Zeqian approach, he quickly lowered his head and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Jing!"
Jing Zeqian crossed his arms and, after nodding in acknowledgment to Wen Yin, scrutinized the people before him. "Qingyan, what brings you to Xiyuan?"
To save face for his company's artists, Jing Zeqian only mentioned Xiyuan, not directly asking why they were in front of his private villa!
Wen Qingyan seemed oblivious to Jing Zeqian's displeasure and replied with his usual gentle smile, "We're filming a variety show, aren't we? Little Yin and I originally planned to drive wherever the road took us, but when we reached Xiyuan, we found out you were also filming a show here, so we came over."
Jing Zeqian continued to stare at him with crossed arms, while Jing Zeyou's expression was also somewhat strange. Only Jing Yi was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Jing Zejun was the only one who seemed delighted by the surprise. "Brother Qingyan! What a coincidence! You're on a road trip too?"
Four pairs of eyes turned to look at him simultaneously. Even Wen Yin found it unbelievable that Jing Zejun would actually believe his brother's flimsy excuse...
Oh, my dear Junjun, only you would think Actor Wen really came here by chance!
Jing Zeqian also chimed in sarcastically, "What a coincidence indeed! The villa is surrounded by mountain valleys for five miles in every direction, yet you managed to drive here?"
Jing Zeqian didn't care about any "ace" status now; he only knew that the man before him must have set his sights on his sister!
This sly fox had been hiding his intentions for so long!
Jing Zejun finally caught on and looked at Wen Qingyan with surprise. The man smiled at her, his eyes seeming to hide something.
Jing Zejun's ears grew hot, and she avoided his gaze, looking at Jing Yi beside her, who was still enjoying the show. She felt even more embarrassed and lightly tapped Jing Yi's forehead, warning her to be more restrained.
But this only made Jing Yi laugh even harder.
[Junjun finally understands! My goodness, I've never thought she was this slow before.]
[Haha, I saw Jing Zejun 'threatening' Jing Yi!]
[As expected of the young Mr. Jing, he's so good at snarking!]
[This is so exciting! Am I watching a dating show?]
Regardless of Wen Qingyan's intentions for coming, Jing Zeqian couldn't very well send them away now that they had made it all the way here.
"Well then, come help prepare dinner." He certainly wasn't going to feel sorry for Wen Qingyan driving for several hours!
Wen Qingyan's smile deepened a bit; the first step of his plan had been successfully completed!
Jing Zejun looked at Wen Qingyan, "Brother Qingyan, long time no see." She finally had a chance to greet him properly.
Wen Qingyan replied softly, "Zejun, it's been a while."
Since the end of "Jun Lin," although they occasionally met at award ceremonies, they rarely had the chance to talk, given how far apart their seats usually were.
The live comments were going crazy, and Jing Yi was nearly losing it as well.
She had been called over by Jing Zeqian to help, and while washing ingredients, her eyes remained fixed on the two in front of her, her lips curling into an involuntary smile.
"Focus on washing the vegetables!"
Jing Yi secretly glared at the extremely moody person beside her. Jing Zeqian wasn't in a good mood today, so it was best not to provoke him.
After scolding Jing Yi, Jing Zeqian immediately looked over at Wen Qingyan, who was still chatting with Jing Zejun!
"Wen Qingyan! Are you not planning to eat dinner tonight?!"
Jing Zeqian's attitude made Jing Zejun a bit embarrassed, but Wen Qingyan didn't seem to feel offended. He simply smiled, excused himself to Jing Zejun, and went over with Wen Yin to help.
In the past, Wen Qingyan's fans would have certainly fought back, but who could blame them when their idol was here to pursue a potential partner?
At this moment, Jing Zeqian wasn't Wen Qingyan's boss, but a potential brother-in-law that needed to be won over!
