Honest Beta gets scammed

The fragrance wafted into Li Qing's nostrils.

"crayfish!"

"Why did you buy food?" Li Qing asked, making way for him. "I ordered barbecue, it should be here soon."

"I just happened to be passing by and bought it on the spot."

He Xiangchen walked into the house with a smile. Although he had only been here once before, he acted as if he knew the place very well. He placed the crayfish directly on the dining table and said, "Their food is pretty good. Try it."

He had barely finished speaking when the doorbell rang again.

He Xiangchen turned around and opened the door. A moment later, he returned carrying a large bag of barbecue.

Looking at the crayfish and various skewers on the table, Li Qing paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance with He Xiangchen, a smile appearing in both of their eyes.

"Let's eat first."

"it is good."

Eating alone is a bit dry; you need to watch a show while you eat.

Li Qing picked up the remote control and began carefully selecting content from the TV screen.

He Xiangchen wasn't interested in TV dramas. He tore open his disposable gloves, put them on, and silently started peeling shrimp. His movements were swift and efficient; he peeled a whole shrimp in no time and put it into Li Qing's bowl.

He peeled several shrimp in a row, and it took him a while to realize that none of the shrimp in Li Qing's bowl had been touched.

He Xiangchen turned his head and saw Li Qing still holding the remote control, selecting a show to watch while eating, with a serious expression. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was doing something important.

He Xiangchen couldn't help but chuckle.

He then peeled a fresh shrimp and handed it directly to Li Qing's mouth.

"Don't be picky, just put one anywhere, eat first."

Li Qing felt something touch her lips and instinctively opened her mouth to take it in.

The shrimp, bursting with fresh and savory flavor, exploded in my mouth. My lips kissed He Xiangchen's fingertips, and he mumbled, "No, I need to watch a good show while I eat."

After saying that, Li Qing continued fiddling with the remote control.

He Xiangchen remained silent.

The spot on her fingertip where Li Qing's lips had touched seemed to still retain that soft touch, making her fingertip feel tingly and numb, the sensation shooting up her heart along her nerve endings.

He held his breath and stopped moving. After a while, he lowered his head again, said nothing, and continued peeling shrimp, but this time, his movements were much slower than before.

Finally, Li Qing selected a show to watch with dinner, put down the remote control with satisfaction, picked up her chopsticks, and prepared to feast. But when she looked down, she found that her bowl was already piled high with peeled shrimp.

His eyes widened instantly.

Turning her head, she saw that He Xiangchen had peeled another shrimp and was about to put it in his bowl.

"Hey!"

Li Qing reacted quickly and grabbed He Xiangchen's wrist.

He looked at He Xiangchen, his face a mixture of shock and amusement, and said, "Why are you peeling it for me? You can eat it yourself!"

He Xiangchen's wrist was grasped by him, and his body stiffened slightly. Then he smiled nonchalantly, his tone relaxed.

"It's okay, I've eaten here many times before, so it won't hurt to try it this time. You should try it, it's really good."

"You can't do this even after eating here so many times!"

Li Qing glared at He Xiangchen, seeing that he showed no sign of retracting his hand, so he simply grabbed He Xiangchen's wrist and shoved the shrimp directly into He Xiangchen's mouth: "Eat it yourself, quick!"

He Xiangchen did not resist, letting Li Qing pry his hands apart.

The shrimp lingered at his lips, He Xiangchen's gaze wandering.

With delicious food in front of him, the only thing that came to his mind was the fact that Li Qing had just kissed the fingers of this hand.

He lifted his eyelids and looked at Li Qing. The other man's expression was frank, his clear eyes were free of any ulterior motives, but his expression was somewhat strange. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

Li Qing found his hesitation even more puzzling.

"What's wrong with you?"

He glanced suspiciously at the takeout box on the table, then at the shrimp in He Xiangchen's hand.

"No, you bought these shrimp, and you peeled them yourself. Why don't you want to eat them anymore? What happened? What did you put in them?"

"How could that be?" He Xiangchen was taken aback by his peculiar train of thought, feeling both annoyed and amused.

"Then eat it!" Li Qing urged.

He Xiangchen pursed his thin lips and remained silent for a moment.

Finally, under Li Qing's persistent gaze, he opened his mouth and ate the shrimp. His lips and tongue passed over the fingertips that Li Qing had kissed earlier, and he quietly ate the shrimp.

snort!

What is this? An indirect kiss?

Damn it, this country bumpkin got off easy!

Seeing that he had finally eaten, Li Qing let go, picked up his own chopsticks, and divided most of the mountain of shrimp in his bowl into He Xiangchen's bowl, leaving only a small portion for himself. Then he chuckled and showed a slightly embarrassed expression.

"I'll shamelessly accept these."

As he spoke, he solicitously rummaged through the barbecue bag and took out a few skewers of lamb and chicken wings, placing them on the plate in front of He Xiangchen.

As he put down the meat skewers, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly noticed that He Xiangchen's ears were dripping red.

Li Qing was slightly taken aback, then turned her head to take a closer look at He Xiangchen's face.

Remembering that He Xiangchen couldn't eat spicy food, I picked up a piece of shrimp from my bowl and put it in my mouth to taste. It was garlic flavored and not spicy at all.

Are you hot?

Caught off guard by the question, He Xiangchen instinctively shook his head: "No."

"No?"

Li Qing cast a distrustful glance at him, wondering if this person was too shy to speak up even when he was hot.

Thinking this, he still picked up the remote control and silently lowered the temperature of the living room air conditioner by two degrees.

Li Qing already had a large appetite, and He Xiangchen seemed to have a particularly good appetite today as well.

The two of them watched a suspense drama, taking turns eating skewers, and quickly finished off all the crayfish and barbecue on the table.

Just then, an episode on TV came to an end, and the ending theme song started playing.

Neither of them forgot the important matter at hand tonight. Li Qing quickly packed up the trash on the table and saw He Xiangchen take the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen.

"I'll do it, I'll wash it tomorrow."

"Um."

He Xiangchen responded, then washed the two bowls and chopsticks, turned around and went back to the living room, picking up the script from the sofa.

Seeing that he had already started reading the script, Li Qing quickly ran over, sat down next to He Xiangchen, and pointed at the script.

"My character doesn't have many lines. I mainly have scenes with three people: the male lead, the female lead, and the villainous master."

He flipped through a couple of pages, pointing to a section with the densest dialogue: "You have the most conversations with the female lead, so why don't you play that female lead for now?"

He Xiangchen nodded, having no objection.

The two quickly got into the zone.

The first scene is about "Shadow Six" failing to assassinate the male lead, being seriously injured and collapsing by the lake, where the female lead rescues him.

Perhaps it was because she was genuinely nervous, or perhaps it was because she was looking at He Xiangchen's face, but at first she just couldn't find the right feeling. She stumbled over her lines and her eyes darted around.
