In fact, the variety show with Nan Jin today was not a complete coincidence.
It was purely because Xian Yu found out that Nan Jin had come to participate in this variety show, so he suddenly had an idea and came here himself.
“How is Senior Xian Yu going overboard? You’re just guiding me.”
The expression on Nan Jin’s face could be said to be a fake smile. Even he felt that his words were against his conscience.
However, he still had to submit. After all, Xian Yu was much more powerful than him.
After entering the entertainment industry, Nan Jin completely realized the meaning of knowing when to submit and when to bow.
However, in Nan Jin’s eyes, someone like Xian Yu was at most a small fight and didn’t affect anything.
He just didn’t know what the effect of today’s variety show would be.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was the weekend.
Even the boss needed to rest, so Murong Qiao gave herself a rare weekend off.
She nestled on the soft and comfortable sofa with a small blanket draped over her. Beside her was the fruit tea Huo Yichen had brewed. Looking at the variety show playing on the projector in front of her, Murong Qiao felt relieved.
Especially when there was a human-shaped warm child beside her, she was simply filled with happiness.
Murong Qiao didn’t know if there was a difference in the temperature of men and women, but she felt that Huo Yichen’s body was especially warm, making her subconsciously want to lean against him. Then, she felt sleepy.
Huo Yichen indulged her and even placed Murong Qiao’s cold feet in his palms to warm them. He was afraid that the blanket would slip and she would catch a cold. From time to time, he would divert his attention to look at her before throwing himself into the computer in front of him and busying himself with the company’s matters.
Unfortunately, the perfect afternoon nap didn’t happen to Murong Qiao.
Her originally shaky consciousness on the verge of sleep was pulled back by a familiar voice in the next second.
Murong Qiao opened her eyes in confusion and focused her gaze on the projection screen in front of her. She looked at the two people standing together on the variety show. The moment she recognized them, she thought that she was in a dream.
Xian Yu… and Nan Jin?
Looking at the two smiling people on the show, and they were preparing to start the next round of the game in a team formation, the sleepiness in Murong Qiao’s mind immediately disappeared.
A combination that she had never thought of at all.
Murong Qiao even sat up straight and watched as Xian Yu and Nan Jin were in the same group. They repeatedly failed in the game segment after that and almost obtained the last place with very “tragic” results.
To be honest, Murong Qiao couldn’t bear to look at the score.
“Why are you awake?” Huo Yichen saw her suddenly straighten up.
Murong Qiao raised her chin. “The variety show woke me up.”
She was referring to Nan Jin and Xian Yu.
Huo Yichen followed her gesture and looked over. He also noticed Xian Yu’s existence, but then he was a little slow when recognizing Nan Jin.
“How can Fifth Brother’s standard be so bad?” Murong Qiao held her face and only looked at it for a while before she realized that something was wrong.
Xian Yu usually liked to play games. His standards were not good, but he could at least be decent in terms of rank.
The small games of these variety shows wouldn’t be able to stump him at all, so this result was completely unreal to Murong Qiao.
Huo Yichen raised his eyebrows. “You mean—”
“There must be something wrong with the two of them.” Murong Qiao pouted, her tone uncertain.
After all, they had lived together before. Whether it was Nan Jin’s style or Xian Yu’s habits, Murong Qiao had some understanding of them. Therefore, she could tell the strange atmosphere between the two of them without watching much.
However, the production team was clearly very good at editing. The various scenes were accompanied by happy and relaxed music that matched the fans’ taste. There were even people who commented on the bullet screen.
Other than Murong Qiao, no one else could sense the hidden turbulence between Xian Yu and Nan Jin.
“I’ll call Fifth Brother.” Murong Qiao reached for her cell phone.
Huo Yichen nodded. Seeing that Murong Qiao was awake, he simply put the laptop aside and went to the kitchen to get a bunch of grapes. Then, he peeled them and fed them to Murong Qiao.
“…Qiaoqiao?” As soon as the call connected, Xian Yu’s voice sounded a little lazy.
Murong Qiao took away the cell phone and glanced at the time. “You just woke up?”
“I guess so. I played games all night.” Xian Yu’s voice was muffled, and he sounded a little sleepy.
Previously, Xian Yu, who had been focused on his business, could be said to be at the peak of professionalism. He recorded albums and concerts in one go, but the consequence of being too focused was that he didn’t seem to be in high spirits for the past few days.
Murong Qiao chatted casually as usual. “When are you free to have a meal together?”
She had been reminded when she saw the variety show.
Murong Qiao had no objections to Nan Jin entering the entertainment industry and had no intention of interfering with his development.
Therefore, when she saw Xian Yu’s deliberate actions on the show, she simply wanted to have a meal with Xian Yu to tell him and—
Talk about Tang Huai.
Recalling that Xian Yu and Tang Huai could be said to have a good relationship, Murong Qiao felt that her Fifth Brother might be able to help persuade Tang Huai to treat his illness.
“Qiaoqiao asked me out for dinner, so I naturally have time no matter what.”
Xian Yu doted on his Little Sister a lot. “You decide on the time? Are we eating at home or outside?”
At this moment, he still didn’t know that his childish actions against Nan Jin had been discovered by his Little Sister. He was still immersed in the joy of his Little Sister taking the initiative to ask him out for a meal.
“Outside. I’ll send the time and address later,” Murong Qiao agreed.
However, when Xian Yu suddenly mentioned home, Murong Qiao realized that she had not been back for a long time.
After saying a few words to Xian Yu, Murong Qiao ended the call. Before she could turn around, she was stuffed with a cold peeled grape.
“Oh.” Murong Qiao chewed and swallowed the grape.
She looked at Huo Yichen beside her and was mesmerized by his beauty.
Even the simple act of peeling grapes was especially pleasing to the eye when Huo Yichen did it.
Just his side profile was handsome and refined. Because the glasses he wore in his office looked like an ornament at this moment, it added an unruly and roguish aura to his face.
His slender and fair fingertips matched the tempting dark purple color of the grapes, and the light color on his nails was even more eye-catching. Then, he slowly separated the skin and flesh and the juice from the grapes stained his fingers…
Murong Qiao took a deep breath very calmly. Then, she threw herself at Huo Yichen and ate the unfinished grape.
It was not unreasonable for a beauty to bewitch a king in the ancient times.
At this moment, Murong Qiao deeply realized that she could eat half a bowl more just by watching Huo Yichen’s face.
They had clearly not been together for long, but every time she saw Huo Yichen’s face, her heart beat faster and she was extremely tempted.
“When are you going to eat?” Huo Yichen asked.
Murong Qiao replied subconsciously, “Tomorrow or the day after.”
The matter of eating with Xian Yu concerned Tang Huai and Nan Jin, so Murong Qiao didn’t intend to delay it for too long.
“I’ll send you there.” Huo Yichen had an idea. “The temperature has dropped a lot recently. I’ve put the new coat at the door for you. Go and see if you like it later.”
Compared to their original passion and heart palpitating romance, the two of them now were like a long stream, more calm and leisurely..
