Chapter 32: What? Are You Scared?
Shen Xun settled Su Jian Yue down, then went back to her room to take a shower. She changed her clothes, then covered the camera with the cover, preparing to take a nap.
Upstairs, Zhao Qifei, Chen Zhibin, and the others hadn’t left yet. Mao Ning and Zheng Tianming were also still there.
“Then shall we have another drink? The wine doesn’t have much alcohol content. It’s no fun to drink like this,” Zhao Qifei suggested.
“Alright, then let’s open another bottle,” Mao Ning nodded.
Zhao Qifei opened another bottle of red wine and poured it for everyone. “Since we don’t have to go out this afternoon, it’s fine to drink a little more.”
With that, Zhao Qifei took another sip. Mao Ning also took a sip. He had already had several glasses, and his face was already flushed.
“Hey, on this show, some people are already almost a couple, but I haven’t even gotten started yet,” Mao Ning said, glancing at Zheng Tianming with a sigh.
Chen Zhibin also had another glass. He was obviously a bit drunk. “I feel like I haven’t fully shown my charm yet. It’s really a disadvantage right now. I’m a sports student. It would be great if I had a chance to play basketball or something.”
“Brother, who doesn’t feel the same?” Zhao Qifei also chimed in. The problem now was that Shen Xun was very cold to everyone except Su Jian Yue.
“Everyone, don’t be too discouraged. There will definitely be opportunities to go on dates later on. I’m not settled either, am I?” Zheng Tianming said with a sigh, trying to comfort them.
The male guests drank more and more. In the end, the production team was afraid that something would happen to the four of them, so they had the staff send them back to their rooms.
On the other side, Su Jian Yue was sleeping soundly. When she woke up again, it was already past six in the afternoon.
Su Jian Yue sat up and looked around. Only then did she remember that she seemed to have drunk too much at noon. Her throat was a bit dry now. She glanced at the bedside table. There was a glass of water there, with a note under it.
Su Jian Yue reached out and took the glass and the note. It said: Remember to drink water when you wake up. If you don’t feel well, come find me.
Su Jian Yue recognized Shen Xun’s handwriting at a glance. She happily drank a few sips of water, and her throat felt much better.
Remembering that her older sister had kissed her at noon, Su Jian Yue happily rolled around on the bed twice. Anyway, the camera was covered now, so the netizens couldn’t see.
After rolling around on the bed for a while, she finally got up to take a shower. Although it was red wine, her body still had a faint smell of it.
Su Jian Yue came out of the shower and changed into a pure white T-shirt and black denim shorts, looking much more handsome.
She gathered her slightly curly long hair behind her, then put on her personal microphone and also removed the black cover from the camera in the room.
The netizens who were squatting in the live stream saw Su Jian Yue’s outfit and started to flood the screen with comments again.
[Wow, wow, wow, is this still our little milk puppy? She looks so handsome after changing her clothes.]
[Our baby is so versatile. She looks so good in just a plain white T-shirt.]
[Now I believe that Little Moon is an alpha. What a beautiful little alpha. Do you want to come home with big sister?]
[Shen Xun is already on her way with a knife. This is Shen Xun’s little alpha.]
[Our baby is truly the most handsome alpha. Sob, sob, sob~]
Su Jian Yue waved at the camera. “Hello, everyone. I’m awake. I slept all afternoon. It was so comfortable.”
She tidied her hair in front of the camera. “I’m going to see if Older Sister is awake. It’s almost six o’clock. Should I go downstairs to cook? But I don’t feel very hungry.”
Su Jian Yue had eaten several pieces of chocolate mousse after lunch, so she really wasn’t very hungry. She just wanted to find Shen Xun.
Su Jian Yue left her room, walked to Shen Xun’s door, and knocked. “Older Sister, are you awake?”
She didn’t dare to knock too loudly, afraid that Shen Xun was still sleeping.
Shen Xun had a good tolerance for alcohol. She had drunk a lot of water, taken a shower, and woken up after sleeping for just over an hour. But Shen Xun hadn’t gone out. She had just been staying in her room, reading.
Hearing the noise outside the door, Shen Xun got up and went to open it. She saw that Su Jian Yue had changed her clothes, and her eyes lit up. “You’re awake?”
Su Jian Yue quickly nodded. “Mhmm. Thank you for bringing me back.”
“Why are you being so polite with me?” Shen Xun said, reaching out to pat the top of Su Jian Yue’s head.
Su Jian Yue just stood there obediently, being petted, and her ears turned red.
Shen Xun found it strange. She moved closer to look and chuckled. “Why are you getting shy?”
Su Jian Yue touched her ears and argued, “I’m not shy. It’s just too hot in your room.”
“Is that so?” Shen Xun looked at the little puppy in front of her with interest. It had to be said, no matter how handsome the little puppy dressed, she was still well-behaved and looked very pettable.
“Then shall we go downstairs? It’s already six o’clock,” Su Jian Yue quickly changed the subject.
Seeing that the little puppy was shy, Shen Xun didn’t press her further and replied, “Then it’s about time to cook. But I don’t know if everyone is up yet. When I brought you back at noon, a few of them were still drinking. I don’t know if they’re up yet. Let’s go downstairs and see first.”
“Mhmm!” Su Jian Yue replied very obediently.
Shen Xun then went downstairs with Su Jian Yue. Downstairs, Yu Lin and Jiang Ying were already at the dining table, eating fruit.
Su Jian Yue came over and greeted them. “Are the others not awake yet?”
Yu Lin nodded. “Probably. Zheng Tianming and the others seem to have drunk a lot. They probably haven’t woken up yet.”
Shen Xun thought for a moment and then said, “Then for dinner, I’ll just prepare some congee and a stew. That way, when they wake up later, they can just heat it up and eat. And everyone can have some congee to sober up.”
“That works. They haven’t come down yet. We can start cooking first,” Jiang Ying said.
Zhao Qifei and Liang Wenjing hadn’t come down yet. Since dinner was simple, Shen Xun and Jiang Ying were enough to finish it.
Shen Xun nodded. “Mmm, leave the dishes to me. You can be in charge of the congee and the cold dish. That should be about it.”
“Alright, then it’s settled,” Jiang Ying said without hesitation and started to prepare.
Su Jian Yue followed beside Shen Xun and asked obediently, “Older Sister, what can I do to help?”
“You can help me peel the potatoes, and then wash the green beans and remove the strings.”
“Okay.” Su Jian Yue did as she was told, took a few potatoes, and sat on a small stool to the side, obediently peeling them.
Su Jian Yue’s live stream was directly flooded with comments from mama fans.
[Our baby is so cute, obediently peeling potatoes.]
[So well-behaved. She does whatever Shen Xun tells her to do. They’re not even together yet, and she’s already so obedient.]
[Where can I get a fair-skinned and obedient little alpha?]
[There’s only one, and she already belongs to Shen Xun. Hehe~]
[I love the way she is when she’s with Shen Xun. Sob, so sweet!]
At this moment, Shen Xun had blanched the ribs to remove the blood, then rinsed the meat with cold water, dried the ribs with a kitchen paper towel, and set them aside.
Just then, Su Jian Yue had also finished peeling the potatoes. Shen Xun started to cut the potatoes, while Su Jian Yue washed the green beans and removed the strings.
After finishing all this, Shen Xun started to heat the wok with oil. She first stir-fried the ribs, then added the potatoes and green beans and added water to stew.
Jiang Ying’s thousand island dressing salad was also ready, and the rice congee was already simmering on the stove.
Shen Xun checked the time. “It will take a while longer. Let’s take a short break first.”
“Okay.” Su Jian Yue obediently followed Shen Xun back to the dining room. The group sat down and chatted while waiting for the food to be ready.
After a while, Liang Wenjing and Ren Peng also came downstairs. Seeing that the lights were on in the kitchen, Liang Wenjing said, “You two cooked all the food? I’m so sorry. I came down late. I’ll wash all the pots and bowls later, and I’ll also clean the kitchen.”
“It’s okay. We just made something simple. Everyone drank at noon, so for dinner, it’s rice congee, a stew, and a salad. That way, the drunk ones can just heat up the food whenever they wake up,” Shen Xun said.
“Mhmm, the four of them probably drank a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn’t still be sleeping,” Liang Wenjing said with a smile.
Shen Xun checked the time. Feeling that it was about time, she went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. Liang Wenjing went to help Jiang Ying with the rice congee.
There were six people eating tonight, so Shen Xun directly served the stew into two small bowls. There was still a bowl’s worth left in the pot, which was just enough for the rest of the people to eat.
“Help me carry this over,” Shen Xun said, looking at Su Jian Yue beside her. Seeing her waiting obediently, she handed one of the small bowls of stew to her.
Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun each carried a bowl of stew to the dining table. Liang Wenjing and the others had also served everyone’s rice congee. Because there were many people, Jiang Ying had simply used a pressure cooker to cook it, so a full pot of congee was enough for everyone to drink.
Su Jian Yue’s appetite was still very good. After she sat down, she took several sips of congee from her bowl, and then started to eat the ribs. Shen Xun’s cooking was good. Su Jian Yue ate three pieces of ribs in a row, and also ate a lot of potatoes and green beans.
As she ate, she didn’t forget to praise Shen Xun. “Older Sister, mmm, delicious. The green beans are very tender, and the ribs are also delicious.”
“If you like it, eat more,” Shen Xun said. She herself didn’t eat much. She usually ate very little for dinner when she was at home.
Shen Xun ate one piece of rib and drank most of a bowl of congee before stopping.
As she chatted with everyone, her gaze would occasionally fall on Su Jian Yue.
Su Jian Yue ate very happily. In the end, she even had another bowl of congee.
After Su Jian Yue and Shen Xun had finished eating, they helped Liang Wenjing clean up. By the time they had finished cleaning up the kitchen and dining room, the four of them, Zhao Qifei and the others, came downstairs one after another.
“There’s food and congee in the pot. You can just heat it up and eat,” Jiang Ying reminded them.
“Alright. We don’t have to draw lots for cooking tomorrow. The four of us will take care of tomorrow’s meals. We’re really sorry,” Zhao Qifei said. He hadn’t expected to sleep until now.
Zheng Tianming also chimed in, “Yes, yes. The four of us will take care of tomorrow’s meals.”
With that, the group went to the kitchen to heat up the food.
Jiang Ying went to find Mao Ning and asked him to help set up the projection equipment. But because everyone’s phones were now on a local area network, they couldn’t find any movies to project. So, they borrowed a phone from the staff and put on a horror movie.
To create an atmosphere, Ren Peng even turned off the main light in the living room, leaving only a few small lights on the side for the cameraman to film.
The group sat on the carpet, with a lot of snacks and drinks on the table in front of them.
The moment the movie started, Su Jian Yue moved closer to Shen Xun’s side.
Shen Xun looked at the little puppy with amusement. “What? Are you scared?”
“No. The air conditioning in the living room is just a bit low. I’m a little cold,” Su Jian Yue said seriously.
Shen Xun looked at the little puppy’s stubbornness and found her even more adorable. She reached out and pinched the side of Su Jian Yue’s face, smiling. “Okay. If you’re cold, you can move closer to me.”
“Mhmm,” Su Jian Yue nodded in agreement. Although she was scared, it didn’t stop her from eating snacks. In no time, the bag of potato chips in front of her was gone.
Everyone was immersed in the terrifying atmosphere. Only Su Jian Yue’s side would occasionally hear the crunching sound of potato chips.
After she had eaten her fill, she started to get scared again looking at the projection on the entire wall.
To Su Jian Yue’s right was Shen Xun, and to her left was Liang Wenjing. Liang Wenjing had been thinking of hiding behind Su Jian Yue while watching the horror movie, but who knew that Su Jian Yue was already huddled behind Shen Xun.
She was so amused she laughed. This little milk alpha is so timid, isn’t she? What should I do? I feel like she’s even cuter now.
