“It is indeed quite early.”
Shen Qiaoyu replied rather unnaturally.
Actually, she wanted to ask what had been done and how it smelled so good. There was a lingering scent of meat in the air, mixed with the aroma of mushrooms.
The aroma made her subconsciously glance at the stove, and she instinctively swallowed a few times.
But she didn’t ask at the end.
After all, everyone came to participate in the show, and she was the only one who slept until she woke up naturally, while Yan Shiqing was busy making breakfast in front of the stove.
She should do something to help, otherwise, she would feel embarrassed eating this meal.
So she lowered her head and asked Yan Shiqing, “Is there anything I can help with?”

In contrast, Shen Qiaoyu lowered her eyes and met Yan Shiqing’s gaze openly, despite the light shining directly at them.
For a moment, the radiant sunrise bathed them in a golden glow, as if sprinkling specks of light between them.
Shen Qiaoyu tied her hair up in a high ponytail, wearing a black sportswear outfit. She stood tall, looking down at Yan Shiqing, who tilted her head slightly with the morning glow reflecting on her fair skin.
A gentle breeze stirred their long hair, and their tall figures cast slightly overlapping shadows on the ground as if embracing each other.
They locked eyes for two seconds before Yan Shiqing blushed and averted her gaze, hastily grabbing bowls and chopsticks, and instinctively reaching to lift the pot cover. Her mind began to wander.
Yan Shiqing loved seeing Shen Qiaoyu like this. She loved her poised and aloof demeanor, with the corners of her lips slightly upturned, resembling a playful cat that made people’s hearts itch. It made Yan Shiqing want to tease her, cuddle her, and give her a kiss.
She recalled the moment in the morning when she secretly kissed her.
When they kissed, their lips were tightly pressed together, causing her heart to race and making her feel so nervous that she almost couldn’t breathe.
Her actions disturbed Shen Qiaoyu who was still in a deep sleep. Unconsciously, Shen Qiaoyu leaned towards her neck, and their soft cheeks brushed against each other, their lips lightly touching, generating a tingling sensation that immediately made her legs go weak and her face turn red.
She quickly and cautiously withdrew from Shen Qiaoyu’s embrace, afraid of being caught in such an intimate position.
However, she couldn’t resist the temptation after waking up, so she secretly kissed Shen Qiaoyu’s cheek while she was still asleep.
She pursed her lips, recalling her dream that was both passionate and vague.
In her dream, Shen Qiaoyu kissed her passionately, and their tongues intertwined, each touch making her unable to resist.
Her tongue was hot, soft, and moist, stirring up a tingling sensation as it moved, tempting her to suck on each other’s lips more intensely, making it difficult to part.
She hurriedly went to the bathroom, unable to bear looking at her shorts anymore.
Water droplets fell onto the floor, and she washed them away, but she couldn’t forget the happiness of last night.
Shen Qiaoyu’s every touch was enough to be cherished for a lifetime.
…
Getting distracted is only a momentary thing, and Yan Shiqing’s hand is almost about to touch the lid of the pot.
There is hot steam rising around it. The cover is so worn out that it doesn’t even have a handle. How can she touch it without getting burned?
Shen Qiaoyu furrowed her brows in concern, unable to even pull on her sleeve, so she could only quickly grab her hand.
Her distinct knuckles held Yan Shiqing’s delicate hand back, her palm hot and rough, enveloping her small hand and causing Yan Shiqing to be startled, her heart pounding.
Yan Shiqing immediately pulled her hand back, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Her cheeks became slightly flushed as she lowered her gaze and said softly, “Thank goodness, thank you so much. I almost got burned.”
“It’s okay.” Shen Qiaoyu naturally picked up a nearby cloth and uncovered the pot lid, her eyes even gleaming as she stared at what was inside the pot.
Hmm? Is it a pot of boiling water?
She was immediately confused.
Yan Shiqing then playfully lifted the lid of another small iron cover beside her and took out the dough that had already been rolled out, putting it into the pot.
So it’s noodles~
Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t help but coyly curl her lips, swallowing several times in her throat.
She turned her head to look at Yan Shiqing again.
Yan Shiqing used a ladle to scoop up the noodles after they were cooked and put them into a bowl.
There was soy sauce and salt in the bowl, and she poured on the mushroom-fried sauce from the side, giving it a gentle stir. The sauce was fragrant, rich in color, and mouthwatering. The aroma filled the air, making one’s appetite soar.
Before even eating, Shen Qiaoyu had already been completely captivated.
Even if she was her adversary, she couldn’t help but admit that Yan Shiqing was charming when doing these things. Her gaze was languid and seductive, with a hint of gentleness. It was like she was making breakfast for her loved one. It was no wonder that the fans in front of the screen were already enthralled.
Sigh~
Could Qingning also be captivated by her?
Her girlfriend ended up being overshadowed while standing by her side.
It’s all her fault. Why didn’t she learn to cook earlier?! She must learn when she goes back this time!
No wonder she can’t compare to Yan Shiqing. She really needs to reflect on herself. Can she blame her for being excellent in everything while she does nothing?
Shen Qiaoyu felt a bit frustrated
Qingning was watching the livestream. She had to find opportunities from elsewhere, perform well, and couldn’t continue being so useless!
While thinking, she instinctively picked up the prepared noodles and went into the room, holding the bowl with one hand, appearing unusually composed.
Yan Shiqing followed her with chopsticks, staring at her hand, and whispered, “Isn’t it hot?”
“It’s not hot.” She placed the bowl on the table, secretly rubbing her fingers that were burned, and eagerly asked the director outside, “What’s today’s task?”
“You eat first, you’ll be busy later.” The director smiled kindly.
Shen Qiaoyu couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Little did she know that the director was acting this way because of the soaring popularity and viewership.
Starting from 7 o’clock in the morning, the cameraman had been broadcasting close-ups of Yan Shiqing, naturally capturing their voices and interactions.
The live stream chat room was unexpectedly harmonious, filled with comments from loyal fans and shippers.
[Ah ah ah, Shiqing is so beautiful! And she’s so good at cooking!]
[No one understands, when the morning glow shines on her and she smiles at Shen Qiaoyu, my heart stops.]
[Yes, yes! When they lock eyes in the glow of dawn, my heart pounds!]
[Sister, I’m falling for her too!]
[And when their hands touch, Shiqing clearly blush.]
…
The comments and popularity kept increasing.
The variety show had a main live room and two sub-live rooms. The group with the highest popularity naturally broadcasted in the main live room.
At this moment, Shen Qiaoyu in the main live room had a slightly surprised expression.
“Why did you give me so much meat?”
She looked at the mountain-like Zhejiang sauce in the bowl, and her stomach growled.
Shen Qiaoyu: “…”
Yan Shiqing, as if she hadn’t heard, continued eating her noodles and smiled at her. “This is the extra sauce after mixing two bowls. If you don’t want it, you can give it to me~”
“Um, I want it.”
She quickly picked up the bowl, mixed it, and started eating as if fearing the other person would regret giving it to her.
The moment the noodles entered her mouth, both of her eyes slightly curved.
This is so delicious!
Yan Shiqing looked at her and continued smiling. “And if you don’t eat, where will you get the energy later? Our group relies on you~”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re right.” Shen Qiaoyu was too focused on responding like this, all her attention on the food, her mouth never stopping, her cheeks slightly puffed.
The conversation between the two gradually turned into Yan Shiqing asking questions, and Shen Qiaoyu responding with “uh, yeah.”
“Did your leg stop hurting today after I massaged it last night?”
“Mm.”
“Is the noodles delicious?”
“Mm.”
“If I can’t walk again today, can you carry me on your back?”
“Mm.”
“Is it also okay if you hold me?”
“Mm.”
“Huh?”
“What did you just ask?”
Shen Qiaoyu finished the last bite of noodles, licked her lips, and looked at Yan Shiqing with a confused expression.
Yan Shiqing was still eating her noodles leisurely and smiled at her. “It’s nothing, just asking you to take care of me a little when we do the mission later.”
Shen Qiaoyu furrowed her brows.
Taking care of her was the least she could do after eating her food.
“Okay,” she answered softly.
Not long after, the sound of a gong suddenly came from outside the room.
The director held a loudspeaker and shouted, “The competition starts today!”
Right after he finished speaking, Shen Qiaoyu was still holding her bowl when two farmers dressed in simple clothing suddenly burst into the room, startling both of them.
