Chapter 36 part 1

Yan Shiqing looked at the little girl, and after she left with He Jie, who was behind the camera, she turned her head back. Unexpectedly, she instantly met Shen Qiaoyu’s gaze.

Yan Shiqing didn’t know when she had stood outside the convenience store, hands in her pockets, and asked her in a low voice, “Do you know each other?”

“Yeah,” Yan Shiqing responded in an instant, realizing, and she bit the last small piece of candy in her mouth, licked her lips, and smiled as she replied, “She’s a girl from the welfare home that I sponsor. I treat her like a little sister, and she insisted on coming over to play, so He Jie brought her here.”

“But I only found out just now.”

She remembered the hearing aid on the little girl’s ear, and the anger in her heart slowly dissipated.

Although Yan Shiqing liked to tease her from time to time and they didn’t get along, she wasn’t entirely bad. So over the years, she had always been polite to her.

If it were someone like Xu Bing, she would have turned her back on him in a minute.

Shen Qiaoyu felt conflicted in her heart. She was angry but didn’t know who to be angry with. Was she angry that she ate the lollipop she had given her? Or was she angry that she pretended not to recognize the little girl and held her hand for a photo?

The little girl was so innocent and naive. It didn’t seem like a big mistake to play along with her and the lollipop was something she had given to herself.

The more Shen Qiaoyu thought about it, the more annoyed she became, so she decided not to think about it anymore. She casually inserted her hands into her jacket pockets and said, “Didn’t you want to buy that thing? Come and choose.”

Upon hearing her words, Yan Shiqing raised her lips and suddenly stood up. She squatted for too long and her legs went numb, causing her to fall back down with a yelp. “I can’t get up. It feels like my leg is broken.”

Shen Qiaoyu: “…”

What a drama queen.

Yan Shiqing looked at her indifferently and blinked her eyes, pressing her leg in pain. She said sadly, “My leg is cramping up. What will we do at the next level if it continues like this? I’ll be holding you back again.”

Shen Qiaoyu: “…”

She sighed, feeling that teaming up with this nemesis was really a mistake on her part.

But what else could she do? She could only admit defeat.

So in the end, she stepped forward and grabbed her arm, helping her up and guiding her into the convenience store. She borrowed a chair from the shop owner and let her sit down.

Yan Shiqing, on the other hand, allowed her to support her arm and secretly leaned her weight towards her, even grabbing onto her sleeve.

The area where her arm was held seemed to be burning hot, causing her heart to beat rapidly.

She was helped to the stool, her lips curled up, and couldn’t help but say, “I’ll just massage my legs for a while. As long as it’s not running, I won’t slow you down. Go pick the items. Did you finish choosing everything?”

“Hmm,” Shen Qiaoyu replied softly, “We still have half the money left. You choose.”

Hearing her words, Yan Shiqing’s eyes sparkled with a smile. Then she pretended to lower her gaze and said slowly, “I don’t mind. You can choose whatever dishes you like. I can cook them all. And about that other thing, please help me choose too. Time is running out, and my legs keep cramping.”

She added, “Just pick any kind.”

“Okay,” Shen Qiaoyu didn’t pay much attention and grabbed a black plastic bag from the owner. She walked towards the sanitary pad section and instinctively grabbed a pack of pads that she usually used. She even thought, “One pack is enough for seven to eight days of the show, right?”

After realizing what she had done, she began to wonder why she was thinking so much since she wasn’t the one using them.

But she quickly dismissed those thoughts and immersed herself in the shopping experience. The convenience store had various fresh vegetables, and she picked all her favorites. Finally, she asked Yan Shiqing what she liked to eat.

“Sweet and sour spare ribs,” Yan Shiqing’s tea-colored eyes seemed to shine, gazing at her profile intently.

Shen Qiaoyu stood hesitantly on the side.

Not having enough money to buy the ribs, there was also sugar.

After some thought, she decided to return the pre-selected potatoes and beef brisket since she had already passed the previous level. One meal would be enough. Without Yan Shiqing, she wouldn’t be able to enjoy anything, so she might as well buy something she liked.

Once everything was chosen, Yan Shiqing took the black plastic bag from her hands and glanced inside, her lips curling up.

It was the brand Shen Qiaoyu used. She had seen her buy it in the community store.

But as soon as she learned about this, her cheeks couldn’t help but blush, and her mind started to wander.

She and Qiaoqiao used the same one, and it felt like their intimate places were touching each other…

No, what was she thinking?!

This fantasy was too absurd!

She quickly snapped out of it, reaching up to tuck her loose strands of hair behind her ear, then secretly glanced at Shen Qiaoyu, who was checking out.

The other two groups were also selecting items in the convenience store.

Once everyone finished shopping, the production team took the items first and then led them to the venue for the next challenge.

Yan Shiqing’s leg was much better now. She quietly walked behind Shen Qiaoyu, stepping on her shadow and playing around.

She bit her lip, focusing intently, so when the main group suddenly stopped, she accidentally bumped into Shen Qiaoyu’s back, hitting her forehead against the nape of her neck.

There was a slight heat and sweat on Shen Qiaoyu’s nape as if it had burned onto her forehead.

She quickly stepped back two steps, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Shen Qiaoyu turned her head and glanced at her, instinctively curling her lips and teasing her, “You’re just like a little kid.”

Implying she was childish.
