Chapter 360: Waiting
—— [??? Can’t you comfort her? I’m not asking you to give her a hug, but you can give her some tissue paper, can’t you?]
—— [Doesn’t s.h.i.+ Sui like to show off his high EQ? Why is he not doing so now? Is he going to leave her to cry here?!]
…
However, the s.h.i.+sui Sisters were displeased when they saw s.h.i.+ Sui being criticized.
At first, they had various concerns and were worried about the relations.h.i.+p between s.h.i.+ Sui and Jiangjiang, but after the clarification, they no longer had any more worries.
—— [Onscreen couples are different from real-life couples *smile* *smile*]
—— [The two of them are just senior and junior, they can’t even be considered friends. What’s wrong with letting Zhong Yi be alone?]
—— [Those who called s.h.i.+ Sui a sc.u.m, I hope you can all find a nice guy who likes coaxing other girls~ I’m taking s.h.i.+ Sui away. A gentleman is not the same as a flirt.]
…
Although Zhong Yi had fans, s.h.i.+ Sui had a larger number of fans who were very aggressive too. Within just a few minutes, peace and quietness was restored in the comments section of the livestream, which was previously full of tension.
The reason was none other than the fact that they could not outargue s.h.i.+ Sui’s fans.
A highly popular and competent actor, who would generate high traffic, could easily trump the haters!
…
s.h.i.+ Sui did not go back to the gla.s.s nursery and instead went near the vegetable field.
The fence had been put up, and there was one last thing to do—painting.
Holding a small brush, s.h.i.+ Sui began painting the white paint on.
Not long after, he heard the familiar sound of footsteps and smiled.
His strategy of waiting had worked.
He raised his head, his narrow, peach-blossom-shaped eyes curled upward. When he smiled, he often seemed amorous, yet devoted.
Xiang Yi walked over slowly from the orchard with a basket of fruits.
She had to pa.s.s by the fence.
“Xiang Yi, you picked so much fruit?” s.h.i.+ Sui asked.
Xiang Yi a.s.sented, clearly much colder than usual.
The netizens were appalled.
—— [No way, is Untimely Couple going to flop too?]
—— [I have a bold guess. Is Xiang Yi jealous?]
—— [Xiang Yi looks so hot when she’s sulking, just like her brothers when they act aloof!]
…
Xiang Yi wanted to leave with a straight face, but she subconsciously glanced at s.h.i.+ Sui.
Since the wound he sustained from the scuffle with the stalker fan, “All is Well Year Round”, hadn’t completely healed, he could only paint with one hand. Although the painting was even and fast, it seemed tedious for him.
Xiang Yi immediately stopped in her tracks.
s.h.i.+ Sui asked warmly, “Why don’t you go back? It’s too sunny here, you might get a sunburn.”
“…”
‘He’s really so worrying.’
Xiang Yi moved slowly and walked toward s.h.i.+ Sui. “Let me do the painting, you go back in.”
s.h.i.+ Sui said, “No, I can do it.”
Xiang Yi said, “No, you can’t.”
s.h.i.+ Sui laughed. “How do you want me to reply to that?”
Before Xiang Yi answered, many silly netizens commented, “s.h.i.+ Sui can’t do it”.
Xiang Yi s.n.a.t.c.hed the brush from s.h.i.+ Sui’s hand and shoved the fruit to him.
She exclaimed, “Go have your fruit, leave the rest to me!”
s.h.i.+ Sui said, “Xiang Yi, I’m really not as useless as you think.”
“You’re so long-winded and noisy.” Xiang Yi sulked.
s.h.i.+ Sui blinked and then walked toward the crew before returning with a floral umbrella.
Whoosh——
He opened the umbrella for Xiang Yi with his slender and well-defined fingers.
He said in a gentle and loving voice, “It’ll be boring if you do it alone. I’ll be quiet, don’t mind me, okay?”
