"Wh-when did this happen?" From this point of view, the footage in front of him was taken by the camera installed in the hidden corner of the kitchen. What Xiao Jia couldn’t believe was that the two girls who had just been quarreling since the moment they first met could change this quickly to be familiar enough to write out her name in the palm of the other's hand.
"Right when we were having our meeting." The director said, "Take a look at this computer."
Xiao Jia walked to the other computer. This time it was taken by the camera up on the enormous tree by the gate.
When Nie Zhen'er came out to repair the gate with tools, Luan Qing Xiao actually took the initiative to help her lift the gate.
Xiao Jia became absentminded: Could it be that the two’s previous fights were all an act? But that can’t be right. They didn't even know each other, how could they have put up a front together?
"This Qing Xiao is a pretty nice kid." The director nodded as he praised, "I thought she would be a thorn when I heard her mother's words. In the end, she turns out as an unexpected surprise."
"Director, then why do they behave indifferently when I’m here?" Xiao Jia was puzzled.
"Teenage girls have a strong self-esteem. How can they reconcile in front of you right after a fight? They don’t want to lose face, do they?" The director pointed to the computer screen and smiled, "The two of them must not know that there are cameras on the tree. These two little girls are rather interesting. "
Indeed, Luan Qing Xiao didn’t know there were hidden cameras in those places. When the staff members brought Wen Mu and Mu Si around to point out the camera locations, she was still throwing a tantrum and refused to come in, which made her miss it.
While Nie Zhen'er watched the staff install hidden cameras in the kitchen, bedroom and in the various corners of her home. Just now at Grandma Nie's room, everything she said was to win the favor of the audience after the show got broadcast.
By the time Nie Zhen'er returned to the room to sleep, Mu Si was already lying on the kang with several layers of blankets and Luan Qing Xiao was preparing warm water to wash her feet.
When Nie Zhen'er opened the curtain and walked in, Luan Qing Xiao moved to the side to give Nie Zhen'er space. "The water temperature is just right. Would you like to soak your feet?"
The room was warmer than outside. Nie Zhen'er took off her jacket and put it on the edge of the kang before making her way over to Luan Qing Xiao and sitting down. "You probably haven't washed your feet yet and this basin is big enough, let's wash our feet together. It’ll save you time from fetching more water."
As Nie Zhen'er spoke, she had already taken off her shoes and socks, revealing her small exquisite feet.
Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "What you said makes sense. It would save trouble if we soak our feet together ."
Nie Zhen'er put her feet in the water, while she put her hands on the edge of the kang and turned to look at Luan Qing Xiao's profile.
Luan Qing Xiao also put her feet in the water, causing the two people's feet to inevitably touch.
She noticed Nie Zhen'er's focused gaze and looked down at the four feet in the water, "Why are you looking at me? Did you just realize that I’m good-looking?"
"Puff!" Nie Zhen'er immediately burst out in laughter as she lightly bumped Luan Qing Xiao's shoulder with her shoulder, "I realized that you are not only good-looking, but you also have a good personality."
"Good personality?" Luan Qing Xiao seemed to have heard something incredible. She raised her head and glanced at Nie Zhen'er, "Ever since my childhood, you are the first person to praise my personality to be good."
For a moment, Nie Zhen'er fell silent. Then, she said softly, "Qing Xiao, thank you for cleaning the yard for me just now."
The soft tone evokes the memories of Luan Qing Xiao's previous lives. Luan Qing Xiao lifted his hand and rubbed Nie Zhen'er's head, "In the future, just call me if you need something done and I’ll do it for you."
When Nie Zhen'er looked at Luan Qing Xiao with her clear almond eyes, there seemed to be something extra within the depth of her eyes. Then, she quickly lowered her eyes to ask, "Are you this nice to everyone?"
Suddenly, Nie Zhen'er had an outrageous thought: she wanted to monopolize Luan Qing Xiao so that she could only see and be good to her. This had nothing to do with love, it was just absurd possessiveness. Because she had never felt such kindness before, Nie Zhen'er immediately became addicted after experiencing it once.
"Of course, Qing Xiao jie also helped me spread out my blanket just now." Mu Si, who had been lying next to her, suddenly interrupted.
Luan Qing Xiao, who didn't want to be misunderstood by Nie Zhen'er as a central AC, instantly added. "It’s only because of your young age. Besides, it took little effort. Hurry up and sleep, it’s already this late." Please don't cut in anymore.
Mu Si could only see their backs. She said aggrieved, "I can't sleep with the lamp on. Can you guys wash your feet faster, Qing Xiao jie?"
Luan Qing Xiao: "..." You’re a big light bulb yourself and you still complain about the light being too bright.
Due to Mu Si’s constant urging, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er could only hurriedly wash their feet and get on the bed to prepare to sleep.
Next, Nie Zhen'er closed the curtain to isolate the camera. Seeing Luan Qing Xiao’s position only had a blanket and no mattress, she couldn't help but ask, "Where’s your mattress?" She was afraid Luan Qing Xiao wouldn’t be used to sleeping here so she had laid out the softest mattress for her.
Luan Qing Xiao replied, "Mu Si isn’t used to sleeping on such a hard bed, so I gave her the mattress." At the time, she wasn’t only being nice, she also meant to make herself seem pitiful so she would be able to sleep, hugging Nie Zhen’er.
Nie Zhen'er pursed her lips and stopped talking. She turned off the light and changed into her pajamas with her back facing Luan Qing Xiao.
The moonlight outside the window cast a cold light on Nie Zhen'er's long satin-like hair.
Luan Qing Xiao, who was still waiting to be invited to sleep together: "..."
This is completely different from what she thought. Why did Zhen'er suddenly ignore her?
On the other side after Nie Zhen'er turned off the lamp, Mu Si was already snoring. Since Luan Qing Xiao didn't have any pajamas to change into, she lay on the painfully cold kang directly in a short-sleeved T-shirt.
"Hey, bring your pillow and blanket and sleep with me." Without warning, Nie Zhen'er turned her head and said.
Hearing this, Luan Qing Xiao immediately headed over with her blanket.
Fortunately, Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er were relatively thin, so it wasn’t very crowded lying side by side on a half meter wide mattress.
The mattress was already warmed by Nie Zhen'er's body temperature. Luan Qing Xiao whispered, "Zhen'er, good night."
Meanwhile, the director and editor stayed up all night to finish editing. Soon, they produced a teaser, which was posted on the Internet early the next morning.
Xuan Fei is a standard NEET with waking up in the morning and reading Weibo being her only pleasure.
On this day, she opened Weibo as usual. She first checked her friend’s Weibo and discovered that her university classmates had reposted a teaser video of a program named [Goodbye for Thirty Days]. Seeing the video wasn’t long and only three minutes, she decided to take a look.
Three minutes later, Xuan Fei found the original Weibo with excitement. Sure enough, this video, which had been published for less than an hour, was already extremely popular with nearly 2000 comments.
Xuan Fei eagerly opened up the comment section and scrolled down, starting with the comment with the most likes.
@TheSunlikeMe: I originally thought the three minute video would be too long and was just planning to take a look casually. But now: I want more! Hahaha, I still want to see another instance of Master Xiao slapping her own face, even three hours isn’t too much!
@SirDumbPanada: I'm here to offer Master Xiao a song!
The Society my Master Xiao,
haughty and arrogant.
The wooden door can't handle a kick,
Feeling wronged yet don't want to repair it.
Zhen'er appear out of midair
to help Lord Xiao to fix it.
Hahahahaha, I'm sorry I can't resist laughing anymore!
@Storm:
Master Xiao: I won’t fix the door! I won’t eat the food! I won’t live inside the house!
Zhen’ er: I’m going to fix the door
Master Xiao: I'll hold it!
Zhen’er: I saved some food for you
Master Xiao: I’ll eat it!
Cameraman: Huh? The door is repaired, let's go in and rest.
Master Xiao: OK.
Cameraman:? ? ?
@ALittleLemon: I initially thought it'd be two girls quarreling with each other, but in the end it’s only Master Xiao being refuted by Zhen’er. Hahahahaha! Another little voice asks: Is Master Xiao really the most arrogant out of the rich second generations? ? ?
@NightNight: Hahahahaha, I enjoy seeing the cameraman's dumbfounded look the most, hahaha!
@001: Zhen’er is strict with her words, but has a soft heart. So beautiful and kind, I really like her~
@O’Leary: Master Xiao is actually the considerate one! The domineering girl’s gentleness awsl! ! !
Xuan Fei couldn't help but smile when she read and liked the comments one by one.
