MSISAS |Chapter 2: Love and Heartbeats 1

The filming of the romance variety show has started with the participants moving into the Love House.

The other four male guests and five female guests had already arrived early.

Meanwhile, Xu Qing was leisurely making her way to the front door.

Today, Xu Qing casually wore a sapphire blue hoodie and a baseball cap, with black loose-fitting jeans wrapping around her long legs, and white sneakers.

Xu Qing pushed open the wooden door and slowly dragged her suitcase into the living room.

Hearing the noise, the guests stopped their conversations and looked towards the entrance.

Xu Qing walked in, scanning the living room.

“Hello, I’m Xu Qing,” her slightly low voice echoed in the guests’ ears.

As soon as Xu Qing entered, everyone’s eyes were glued to her face.

Lu Xianzhi’s cheeks quickly flushed red.

Xu Qing casually sat down on the sofa.

“Have you all sorted out the rooms?” Xu Qing asked unhurriedly.

“Not… not yet,” Zhang Zihan stammered nervously.

“Oh, then you all choose first, leave whichever is left for me.”

“Okay,” Ke Ming replied.

Xu Qing’s arrival made the other four male guests feel a sense of crisis. At the same time, it ignited a fierce fire in the hearts of the female guests.

Xu Qing ended up with the room on the far right. After unpacking, she went out the door.

What occupied her mind were medical papers.

The guests gathered at the dining table, it was time for introductions.

Ke Ming: “According to the session, it seems we should introduce ourselves, let’s all get along well in the future, okay!”

“Hello, I’m Ke Ming, really glad to be here at Love House,” Ke Ming said with a smile.

Ke Ming looked very mature, around thirty, like a social elite.

“Hello, I’m Zhang Zihan.”

“Lu Xianzhi, pleased to meet you all.”

“Ke Xing.”

…

Everyone’s attention turned to Xu Qing in the corner.

Xu Qing sat casually, the baseball cap covered her eyes, her long hands resting effortlessly on the chair. Lu Xianzhi wondered how he would look shrouded in smoke.

Xu Qing looked incredibly handsome, he was the most handsome “man” Lu Xianzhi had ever seen.

Xu Qing slowly opened her mouth, “I think I introduced myself earlier, but I guess I wasn’t very memorable. Let’s reintroduce, Xu Qing.”

“How could that be! You’re so handsome, who wouldn’t remember a handsome guy! Hhh,” Zhang Zihan teased.

Xu Qing smiled, revealing dimples. “Is that so? Thank you.”

Xu Qing was a bit happy inside, thinking she managed to carry off the act well. At least there weren’t major issues for now.

Zhang Zihan was stunned, Xu Qing’s dimples didn’t hold wine, yet she was still intoxicated.

Zhang Zihan quickly snapped back, secretly scolding herself for being so hopeless.

Ke Xing: “Emm, may I ask, can any of you cook?”

Xu Qing: “??? Are you very hungry now,” Xu Qing raised her arm to look at her watch.

“Isn’t it just around nine o’clock?”

Ke Xing: “What I meant is that I can’t cook, I hope someone can, otherwise we’ll starve.”

Xu Qing: “Oh, I can.”

Ke Xing’s voice carried a gentle tone from Jiangnan water towns, it sounded very soft.

Zhang Zihan: “You can?”

Xu Qing: “Do I not look like someone who can?”

Zhang Zihan: “Hahaha, your appearance is so deceiving, sorry hahaha, Zhizhi, you can help, right!”

Suddenly called upon, Lu Xianzhi: “Oh, oh, right, I can help a bit too.”

Xu Qing looked at Lu Xianzhi, who had a pure beauty about her, quite striking compared to the heavily made-up faces.

As they chatted, the clock chimed for noon.

Zhang Zihan: “It’s noon, time to eat. Most looking forward to your cooking skills, Xu Qing!”

Xu Qing: “Hahaha really, hope I won’t disappoint you.”

Ke Ming: “Bro, let me help you!”

Xu Qing: “Sure,” Xu Qing smiled, revealing dimples.

Xu Qing was a bit happy inside, thinking she managed to carry off the act well. At least there weren’t major issues for now.

Zhang Zihan was stunned, Xu Qing’s dimples didn’t hold wine, yet she was still intoxicated.

Zhang Zihan quickly snapped back, secretly scolding herself for being so hopeless.

Xu Qing went to the fridge, looking at the full range of ingredients, and decided to make them a dish of boiled fish with pickled cabbage, her best dish and a personal favorite.

While covering the pot with the lid, Xu Qing said, “This is my favorite dish, do you all like it spicier or mild?”

Lu Xianzhi: “Spicy *^O^* spicier please.”

Xu Qing’s lips curled into a slight smile. Lu Xianzhi looked a bit silly at that moment.

Xu Qing: “What about the rest of you?”

Zhang Zihan, Ke Ming, Ke Xing: “We love spicy food.”

Xu Qing: “Okay.”

After a while, the other guests finished preparing their special dishes.

They gathered again at the dining table.

“Wow, it’s so delicious,” Lu Xianzhi exclaimed in surprise.

“Isn’t it? I thought so too,” Zhang Zihan said with a smile, still eating the pickled fish.

“Thank you,” Xu Qing said, looking at Zhang Zihan.

“Who made this tomato scrambled eggs?” Xu Qing asked.

“I… I did. Is there something wrong with it?” Lu Xianzhi said.

“Nothing, it’s delicious!”

Lu Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief: “I thought you were going to say it didn’t taste good! Hehe, thank you.”

They happily complimented each other as they finished lunch.

In the afternoon, they took a car ride to the beach, with Xu Qing remaining silent.

“Is something wrong? You don’t look well, you’ve been quiet,” said Lu Xianzhi, sitting next to Xu Qing.

“Yeah, I’m carsick,” Xu Qing replied slowly.

“Alright, then you can nap for a bit.”

“Mm,” Xu Qing’s mumbled voice was incredibly soft.

Lu Xianzhi’s uncontrollable heartbeat seemed ready to fly towards Xu Qing from her mouth.

Xu Qing’s head swayed a bit before finally resting on Lu Xianzhi’s shoulder.

Zhang Zihan looked towards the back of the car, Xu Qing’s head resting on Lu Xianzhi’s shoulder, her delicate sleeping face emitting a cool and restrained aura.

Lu Xianzhi appeared dazed, her cheeks tinted with a blush.

Zhang Zihan thought to herself, indeed, my dear sister must really like someone like Xu Qing.

As Lu Xianzhi’s adorable friend, shouldn’t I help?

Even though I’d be losing out on such a handsome one, I can’t forget my primary task.

After arriving at the beach, they took photos while enjoying the sea breeze.

But Xu Qing was different, it seemed she came to lounge around.

Aside from being carsick, perhaps laziness played a role.

Xu Qing rented a beach chair from a server and relaxed on it. Somehow, she got a pair of sunglasses.

And so, Xu Qing spent the afternoon napping.
