DTBS – Chapter 81
Chapter 81: Scheming Kitty
"We've played enough here, right?" Qin Qingshang was the first to end the competition, looking at Ming Siwen beside her, her expression normal. "We still have other things to play."
Ming Siwen naturally also saw a crowd gathered near the air gun booth watching Tao Qiuyun shoot balloons. Noticing Qin Qingshang's subtle expression, she immediately understood. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's call them over and hear the boss praise us together. I'll go get Zhou Linwan."
Qin Qingshang actually figured it out so quickly? She hadn't even started putting in effort yet!
"Then I'll go find Qiuqiu." Qin Qingshang distributed the plush toys in her hands to the children, walking towards the air gun booth amidst the cheers of the little ones.
"Brace against your shoulder, then…" Tao Qiuyun was correcting a girl's posture, and the moment she turned her head, she saw Qin Qingshang walking towards her. She stepped forward and said, "Are you done with the claw machine?"
"Yep, done." Qin Qingshang smiled, suddenly reached out and linked arms with Tao Qiuyun, pulling her towards the surrounding crowd and saying, "Hello everyone, don't you think we look good together? Very suitable for dating?"
Tao Qiuyun's heart rate suddenly quickened.
"Perfect match! Perfect match!" Some people in the crowd recognized her, their faces flushed with excitement: "Sister Qingshang! You're the best match!"
"Actually, we're here to check her out for you!" A girl shouted.
"Sea King Qiu is super upright, Sister, she really was just correcting my posture, not trying to take advantage."
"Exactly, exactly!"
"Nonsense, I think you're the ones trying to take advantage of her!"
Amidst the noisy chatter, Tao Qiuyun gradually calmed down.
No wonder so many girls said they wanted to learn how to use the gun and insisted on her teaching them hands-on. So these people were all Qin Qingshang's fans? Checking her out for her?
Although it was nice that Qin Qingshang's fans approved of her, still…
Thinking that Qin Qingshang might just be mistaken that they were still partners, the turbulent lake of Tao Qiuyun's heart instantly became calm and still. Suppressing the feeling of annoyance in her heart, she turned her head and quietly reminded the woman beside her, speaking rationally: "Qingshang, you're mistaken. We're not partners today. You should be asking if you and Ming Siwen are a match, or if Zhou Linwan and I are a match, not if you and I are a match."
The cat secretly ground her teeth, clenching the fabric in her hand.
Ahhhhhh! Tao Qiuyun, one day, I'm going to scratch her to death!
CEO Tao, you sure know how to talk, and how to read the room!
Qin Qingshang muttered sarcastically in her heart…
You grasp the key points so accurately and think so much, no wonder Chunjin keeps getting stronger!
【Qiu Yi, beautiful appearance, outstanding temperament, knowledgeable. It makes sense that someone like this would be single.】
【No way, you can even miss a basic attack like that?】
【Ahhhhhh, I can't stand it anymore, can I rush to the scene and give Sister Qiu a big slap to make her stop talking? Isn't it better to just smile and agree?】
【Crying tears of pain, this is the first time in my life I've hated someone for being able to talk, truly.】
【Qiu Yi!!! I hate that you're a block of wood, truly incorrigible!】
【Please, please, Sister Qiu, quickly sign up for a dating crash course and find a teacher to learn. You look like a top student, you'll definitely learn knowledge quickly.】
【The more I look at this Qiu Yi, the more familiar she seems. Her figure looks like I've seen it somewhere before.】
【Not just her figure, I think her voice is also quite familiar. I wonder if it's because I've listened for a long time.】
【I confess, I've seen her too, in my dreams. My dream girl is exactly like this (a look of certainty).】
【Qiu Yi is my wife, who agrees? Who objects?】
【Qin Qingshang: I object! (Slaps the previous person flying)】
Regardless of what Qin Qingshang was thinking internally, the four of them ultimately received "heartfelt" affirmation from many passersby and slowly walked towards the carousel.
After getting off the carousel, the cat tilted her head and leaned directly onto Tao Qiuyun, muttering to herself: "The carousel, it made me sleepy. I've been running around for so long today, as soon as I relax, I feel so tired. Qiuqiu, can I lean on your shoulder for a bit?"
Relying on this blockhead Qiu Yi is unreliable. Future happiness must be fought for oneself!
The cat's No Divorce Operation and Dating Manual, Step One: Close the distance.
"Okay." Tao Qiuyun simply pulled her into her arms and walked forward, holding her.
Anyway, they had touched so many times today, one or two more wouldn't make a difference in the report, and besides…
The touch of the person she liked was indeed addictive. Why refuse? It was hard for her to refuse.
Uh, so how many times did they touch today?
Walking towards the Ferris wheel, Tao Qiuyun pondered…
It's over, my mood today has been a rollercoaster, I can't seem to remember clearly. But if I write one or two fewer instances in the explanation, Qin Qingshang probably doesn't have such a good memory, right? Besides, many times it was Qin Qingshang who initiated it, she might not remember all of them herself.
Tao Qiuyun, who always followed the rules, was preparing to cut corners and test the waters.
Ming Siwen looked at the two walking ahead, practically glued together, and inwardly complained: Are you two serious?
After Qin Qingshang figured it out, she's completely ignoring the live stream and focusing on chasing love, right? Good heavens, I originally thought you were also a single dog who only cared about your career, coming on this romance show for the same reason as everyone else, to get the guarantee from above. But you suddenly changed your mind and are preparing to grab both love and career, huh?
You've really got it in you, you're something else.
It's also fortunate that Qiu Yi has a hidden identity as Tao Qiuyun, the CEO of Chunjin Group, otherwise… with Jiang Lihe's watchful gaze, someone without a background really couldn't protect Qin Qingshang.
When the police were investigating before, Assistant Xiao Li sent her a message: Jiang Lihe is the CEO of Sufeng.
Ming Siwen lowered her eyes in thought…
Wait, if Tao Qiuyun really likes Qin Qingshang as she thought, and is aiming for dating and marriage, then she will definitely deal with Sufeng. If Sufeng collapses, will the Jiang family also be implicated?
Since that's the case, can she use this opportunity to make a move?
After all, when the cake is broken up, those who are prepared might pick up a piece or two of cream.
Maybe she can use the momentum of Sufeng's collapse to accumulate some financial foundation for her future personal studio or company.
Even if Tao Qiuyun helps her out because she assisted her and Qin Qingshang, the more cards and strength she shows, the stronger this connection will be, and her career path will be more stable.
After all, it's better to rely on yourself than others; you have to be strong yourself to forge iron.
The group walked to the Ferris wheel. Zhou Linwan looked at Qin Qingshang leaning on Tao Qiuyun, wanting to give the two some private space. She turned to Ming Siwen and suggested: "Miss Ming, Qingshang is a bit more familiar with Qiuqiu. She seems very tired right now. How about the two of us share a cabin?"
Ming Siwen was just about to nod.
"Why can't the four of us sit together?" Tao Qiuyun interrupted Ming Siwen's casting preamble, looked at the sign next to them, and asked in confusion: "It can even seat six people at once."
Shocked Zhou Linwan: …
Ming Siwen, holding her forehead: …
Qin Qingshang, pretending to faint: …
【Please! Please, someone quickly gag Sister Qiu!】
【Qiu Yi! Why do you have a mouth! Can't you just quietly be a beautiful woman?】
【Being a silent gourd is fine too.】
【Ahhhhhhh, I'm so angry, so angry, what kind of divine plot twist is this?】
【Wuwuwuwuwu, this is a situation that even gods descending to earth can't save. Please, director team, next time make a rule that Sister Qiu isn't allowed to talk, okay?】
【Ten thousand people sign a blood petition for Sister Qiu to shut up】
【+1】
【+ID number】
If today was just a simple outing with friends, without the live stream audience, Qin Qingshang felt she would definitely twist the flesh around Tao Qiuyun's waist to vent her anger!
Ahhhhhh, she's going to die of anger!
How could Tao Qiuyun, with such a normal body temperature, utter such incredibly cold words?
It was like a basin of cold water, splashed directly onto the cat's head without warning.
The three looked at each other, unable to find any reason to refute Tao Qiuyun's suggestion for a moment. After all, this kind of thing couldn't be said explicitly, so they had no choice but to all get into the Ferris wheel together.
Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang on one side, Ming Siwen and Zhou Linwan on the other, looking at each other.
Ming Siwen: Alright, I know where I need to put my effort.
Zhou Linwan: Speechless, the food brought to her mouth was knocked over.
Qin Qingshang: (Cat collapses)
Tao Qiuyun: She really is tired, my heart aches.
Tao Aiqin, who was watching the live stream, once again clutched her 'Big Guts' and collapsed, "Help, help, I can't take it anymore, Sys, quickly open the system store for me."
The System was wary: "What are you doing? Don't try to trick me with the excuse of buying quick-acting heart relief pills, I won't fall for it again."
Tao Aiqin: "I'm going to see if there are any suitable items for my CEO mom in the store. If she keeps this up, I'm afraid my female lead mom will be angered away by her."
The System opened the store for her, reminding her: "We are a legitimate system, and you must also be a legitimate Host. Don't do illegal things like drugging people."
Tao Aiqin waved her hand to reassure it: "Don't worry, Sys, quickly help me filter for items related to love."
A long list appeared in the store, and the person and the Sys began to study it.
While Tao Aiqin was studying system items to save Tao Qiuyun, a certain gifted romance contestant in the Ferris wheel proactively started a conversation: "What do you think the program team's rewards or punishments will be?"
Ming Siwen and Zhou Linwan exchanged glances.
"I think it might be an unlimited pass for Lesheng Castle for a certain period," Qin Qingshang lifted her head from Tao Qiuyun's shoulder, looking like she was seriously thinking: "Do you think if we actually guess correctly, the director will temporarily change the reward?"
"If it were other variety show directors," Ming Siwen also started thinking, "They would probably change the final reward for the sake of the show's effect. After all, live broadcasts usually have several plans. But if it's this director, based on his previous actions, I think even if we guess correctly, he'll bite the bullet and give us the reward."
Zhou Linwan didn't quite understand the twists and turns of the entertainment industry. She was a bit worried at this moment: "Actually, I'm a little scared. After all, the previous rewards for Qiuqiu and Qingshang were less like rewards for them and more like rewards for the audience…"
Remembering the scene of reading fanfiction, Tao Qiuyun and Qin Qingshang's expressions slightly changed.
"But since the rewards are like this," Ming Siwen analyzed: "The punishment will definitely be even more terrifying. The program team specifically emphasized it's a very scary punishment, so… the mission must be completed."
"After riding the Ferris wheel," Tao Qiuyun looked at the scenery outside, "Our mission will be complete."
"Yeah," the cat leaned against the window, pretending to say casually: "There's still a little time left, how should we spend it?"
"We could find a cafe to sit and chat or something." Ming Siwen suggested, "After all, that haunted house was quite big, it really made people a bit tired. It would be nice to sit and rest and chat."
"Speaking of haunted houses and chatting," Zhou Linwan remembered something and shared it with everyone: "Although I didn't advance the plot much, I heard something very touching."
"What is it?" the cat played along.
"There were two girls in monster costumes chatting. It seemed they were talking about a child, and the child's mother. I heard her former profession was… coming through wind and rain, through water and fire, and finally she was bedridden. And her wife, besides raising their daughter, also took very good care of her when she was seriously ill, the kind that stays by your side through life and death."
"I think it's quite inspiring. A mother raising a child and also taking care of her sick wife is very admirable. After all, not everyone has the perseverance to keep going. And that wife also loved her very much; even when she wasn't feeling well herself, she would go to pick her up at the airport, and the two would have romantic moments from time to time."
【Wuwuwuwuwu, I'm crying from listening, what kind of divine love is this?】
【Seriously, if you're sick from time to time and need care, it really does wear down feelings. I'm not kidding, that's how my dad left my mom.】
【Hugs to the baby above, I understand, because truly not everyone loves another person unconditionally. That kind of love is rare.】
【That's why this kind of relationship seems so precious.】
【No wonder Sister Zhou is so touched.】
Tao Qiuyun: …?
Listening to this plot connected like this, why does it sound a bit familiar? There's a sense of déjà vu.
"That scared me, so her wife could get out of bed. I almost thought she was in a vegetative state." Ming Siwen breathed a sigh of relief but was also a bit confused, asking: "But coming through water and fire? What kind of profession is that? A firefighter?"
"I don't know," Zhou Linwan shook her head, "But I think their love is very precious. Even when they were tired and suffering, they didn't give up on loving each other. I also hope to meet someone who will stay by my side for life, never leaving."
"Isn't that perfect love?" Qin Qingshang sighed emotionally, turned her head to look at Tao Qiuyun, "Don't you think so? Qiuqiu."
Tao Qiuyun looked at her, hesitated, and finally nodded slowly: "Yes."
But…
Qingshang, you seem to be that seriously ill wife.
