Normally, Gu Jinrong loves to feed her little girl, but now she's a bit absent-minded.
Shen Qingzhi held a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other. The sound of ceramic tableware clinking in the closed room was clear and sounded like playing some music.
She ate a bowl of porridge with vegetables for more than ten minutes, completely following the "silent eating" principle.
Although the porridge was made in the morning, it had been kept warm on the stove.
Shen Qingzhi was wrapped in a thick coat by Gu Jinrong. After finishing her meal, she broke out in a sweat.
She put down the bowl, stretched lazily, and her coat slid down a bit, but Gu Jinrong quickly pulled it back up.
Shen Qingzhi:...
"I want to take a bath. Can you handle these dishes for me?" Shen Qingzhi wiped the sweat from her forehead, negotiating.
"Okay." Gu Jinrong stood up and opened the suitcase placed in the corner, took out a set of pajamas, and handed them to Shen Qingzhi.
Shen Qingzhi took the soft cloth and her face turned red.
She had gone to bed early last night and hadn't had a chance to organize her suitcase. She felt awkward that Gu Jinrong found her underwear so easily.
How did this black heart find my underwear so quickly?
Shen Qingzhi nodded and glanced upwards sneakily. She saw Gu Jinrong with her brows furrowed, looking natural, which made her feel even more suspicious.
"Thank you." Shen Qingzhi quickly grabbed the clothes and rushed to the main bathroom in her slippers, moving as if she hadn't just recovered from an illness.
If Gu Jinrong paid attention at this moment, she would be able to see a shy little rabbit turning red from the base of her ears to the base of her neck.
It's just that she is hiding her worries now. Taking care of Shen Qingzhi was just a natural response. Gu Jinrong finished washing the dishes in the kitchen and since there was still some time, she went to the bathroom to wash off her sweat.
Shen Qingzhi's fever had just subsided, and her body was weak. She soaked in the bathtub for half an hour.
When she came to the living room wearing a light beige cotton pajama, she happened to see Gu Jinrong sitting on the sofa, engrossed in watching the TV screen.
"What are you watching?" Shen Qingzhi asked as she dried her hair, taking a seat on the sofa cushion next to Gu Jinrong.
Gu Jinrong, seeing Shen Qingzhi approaching, turned up the TV volume with the remote control. A familiar soprano voice, like that of a machine gun, flowed into Shen Qingzhi's ears.
"You say us girls have many flaws and love gossip, but I see that even as a grown man, you're not much better."
"You're holding onto unfounded rumors from the internet and treating them as facts, thinking you're so self-righteous, lecturing people here. How old are you?"
"Can you be matched with keys that cost three yuan for one or ten yuan for three."
Shen Qingzhi stiffened and turned her head when she heard the sound.
Huh, isn't this what she said against Chen Qiang when she recorded "Let's Talk Together"
Wasn't it said that her scenes would be reduced, but it was actually aired in its entirety without change.
Shen Qingzhi used to be tough in front of the media, but now seeing Gu Jinrong looking at her so carefully, she realized that she had some idol baggage.
She sat on the sofa, straightened up, and said weakly: "Why are you looking at this? In fact, I am usually quite well-educated."
"I know." Gu Jinrong nodded slightly and stared at the TV screen with gentle eyebrows, "Qingqing was also very well-educated when she was recording the show."
Shen Qingzhi:?
"Are you mocking me?" Shen Qingzhi said and leaned over to grab the remote control.
To be fair, Shen Qingzhi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her quarrel with Chen Qiang, a common man. It's just that she looked so fierce on camera, which didn't quite match her cultured image.

Gu Jinrong switched the remote control to her right hand, held Shen Qingzhi who was rushing over to her with her left hand, and lightly interlocked their fingers.
"Seriously, if I had been there, I would have slapped him twice."
"Pfft, you're bragging." Shen Qingzhi didn't believe that Gu Jinrong would actually slap someone in the face. But these words still made her feel happy. Even just imagining that scene brought joy.
Shen Qingzhi was secretly happy, and unconsciously got close to Gu Jinrong again.
Both of them had just finished bathing. Their off-white cotton pajamas and dark blue silk pajamas were next to each other, causing a slight tickle on their skin.
Shen Qingzhi backed away a half step, propping herself on the sofa. She noticed that Gu Jinrong's gaze was fixed on the TV screen the whole time, seemingly not aware of this small interaction.
She thought she might be overly sensitive. She scratched her cheek near the ear and tried to negotiate.
"It was because of this variety show that I was forced to take a long break. It makes me feel bad watching it. How about changing the channel?"
She didn't even notice that during the discussion, she unconsciously adopted a coquettish tone.
"Okay." Gu Jinrong obviously found this trick enjoyable and handed the remote control directly to Shen Qingzhi.
"If the heavens won't allow me, Su Huai'an, then I'll challenge the heavens."
It was a TV drama starring Shen Qingzhi.
"Wave Flavor Q.Q Candy, Q from within me, Q from my youth, did you Q today?"
It's an advertisement starring Shen Qingzhi.
"What's the highest record? I'll challenge the highest record directly."
It's from a variety show featuring Shen Qingzhi.
….
Shen Qingzhi was dumbfounded: What happened? Have I become so famous?
She used to review her works in her spare time, but now there is someone else around her, and this person is...
In short, it was still a bit embarrassing and awkward, and there was a sense of shame like being publicly executed, although she didn't think there was any problem at all when she was filming.
She changed several channels in a row, and the screen was filled with her 360-degree beauty.
Shen Qingzhi felt ashamed for a while and finally realized something was wrong. She threw the remote control back to Gu Jinrong's hand and said angrily: "You didn't do anything to this TV, did you?"
"No, I just customized a collection." Gu Jinrong took the remote control, returned to the home page, pointed to the "Qingqing Special" in the category, and explained with a pure face.
The more serious Gu Jinrong acted, the more Shen Qingzhi didn't know how to refute: Really, who makes a collection like this? I'm not a big star.
Shen Qingzhi didn't express her opinion on her face, but a hint of joy couldn't be suppressed in her heart, and a smile almost spread to her lips.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough and stabilized herself.
She pursed her lips and tried her best to look mature and calm, "Mm, I've watched all of these before. Right now, I'd like to watch a movie. Do you have any recommendations?"
"Yes," Gu Jinrong clicked into the movie collection in just a few moments, selected a movie titled "Holiday Style," and asked Shen Qingzhi for her opinion, "How about this one?"
"Mm, that's it." Shen Qingzhi only glanced at it and nodded. In fact, she didn't really want to watch the movie, she just needed to change the channel.
This movie tells the story of a recently heartbroken female novelist who comes to a picturesque town for a relaxing holiday and crosses paths with a food blogger who is here for inspiration.
The novelist exudes a cold and mysterious aura, which is completely opposite from the enthusiastic and open nature of the food blogger. They share a rented apartment in the same building and, as they spend time together day and night, they become mutually attracted to each other…
Common small-town literature + pure love style, the scenery is quite beautiful.
Shen Qingzhi leaned against the sofa's backrest, pretending to watch attentively, but her eyes repeatedly glanced towards Gu Jinrong's graceful presence.
Gu Jinrong didn't sit like her. Her hands casually resting on her knees, shoulders relaxed, displaying a gracefully upright posture.
Even in her soft silk pajamas, she managed to maintain a well-proportioned figure. With her focused expression, Shen Qingzhi felt that at this moment, if Gu Jinrong were given an outer coat, she could go for an interview or a magazine cover shoot directly.
Shen Qingzhi couldn't help but roast her in her heart: Isn't it tiring to watch a movie like this? Besides, haven’t you watched this before? Is it so beautiful?
She stole several glances to the side for many seconds, relieved that her subtle glances hadn't been caught. Seeing how earnestly the other was watching, she couldn't help but be influenced.
She turned her eyes to the TV screen again, and what she saw shocked her severely.
Wh..what's going on with these two people in this movie?
One second ago, they were looking at the stars and the moon and chatting about life. Now suddenly, they're barely dressed?
The one with straight hair is so fierce, she just hugged and chewed on her!
The one with curly hair, should…should she be making those... sounds?
Did we close the windows?
Although the characters on the screen were the ones engaging in sexual activities, Shen Qingzhi felt as if she had been caught doing something wrong and got up to check the windows.
But as soon as she jumped off the sofa, without even straightening her legs, she was grabbed by Gu Jinrong, "Qingqing, don't you want to watch anymore?"
Gu Jinrong's palms were warm, even though they were slightly calloused, they were delicate and comfortable to hold.
It was obviously autumn, but Shen Qingzhi felt anxious for no reason. She licked her lower lip and said as calmly as possible: "I'm a bit thirsty, I'll go... pour a glass of water."
She didn't mention closing the window, as that would make it seem like she cared too much.
Gu Jinrong leaned forward and maintained her hold on Shen Qingzhi with one hand. With the other hand, she picked up a glass from the coffee table. "Isn't there water here? Do you want some?"
Shen Qingzhi:...
The next time she makes up an excuse, she must first observe her surroundings.
The excuse was of her own making, so she could only round it out herself.
Shen Qingzhi's empty hand took the glass, and she gulped down several sips, as if doing so would calm her restless heart.
"I've finished drinking." Shen Qingzhi placed the empty water cup on the coffee table, her legs and feet became weak and she sat back on the sofa. It seemed like she had already forgotten why she had stood up just now.
Gu Jinrong interlocked her fingers with Shen Qingzhi, her thumb gently sliding over the back of Shen Qingzhi's hand. Her gaze fell on the empty glass, smiling like a satisfied fox.
Shen Qingzhi, filled with suspicion, followed Gu Jinrong's gaze, only to realize that where she had just drunk from, there was not just one lip mark. She saw Gu Jinrong smiling heartily and felt annoyed in her heart: "Why smile? We've had so many direct kisses, do you still care about an indirect one?"
