Chapter 44: Teacher Wen, You're Quite Narcissistic

What's wrong?" Wen Jin looked at Ruan Jinghong, her voice was still as cool and sweet as a cold spring in an empty mountain.

Ruan Jinghong wanted to fool her, but Wen Jin's gaze on her face seemed to have substance, and it was hard to ignore, so she could only speak with difficulty.

"Wen...Teacher Wen, aren't you thirsty after watching the video for so long, do you want some water?"

Wen Jin glanced at the progress bar of the video. It's only been less than 20 minutes. Was that long?

She pressed pause and concentrated on Ruan Jinghong's question, "I'm a little thirsty, please give me a glass of water."

The video was paused and the background sound of the program stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became much quieter.

Ruan Jinghong didn't know why she was inexplicably nervous, she could only force herself to be calm.

"Then... what would Teacher Wen want to drink, coffee? Tea? Or..."

"Plain water is fine." Wen Jin interrupted Ruan Jinghong's trembling question.

"Okay, right away." Ruan Jinghong finally got a moment of relief, and ran into the kitchen like a little rabbit.

Wen Jin looked at the beautiful back fleeing in a panic, her eyelids slightly closed, and the corners of her lips curled up in a happy arc.

Ruan Jinghong came to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see the brand new interior that looked like a product preview. She was extremely grateful that Wen Jin had not made any other requests just now.

Under this condition, there is only plain boiled water.

The program team had previously sent mineral water, which she had already drank. Fortunately, she also kept a kettle for boiling water.

While waiting for the water to boil, Ruan Jinghong gradually buffered over and reflected on her recent escape from the battlefield.

Isn't it just that the netizens are hilarious? It's normal in the bullet screens of the videos I usually watch. When I ship on someone else's CP before, wasn't it also quite enjoyable?

Teacher Wen is also one of the parties involved. She behaved so calmly. If I reacted too strongly, wouldn't I seem very concerned?

Originally, this was just a normal variety show collaboration. If I showed great concern, what should I do if Teacher Wen misunderstood that I have thoughts about her and scare her.

Ruan Jinghong poured boiling water into a transparent glass cup, and in order to cool the water down quickly, she put the cup into a large bowl filled with cold water.

She watched the heat in the water cup gradually dissipate, and at the same time repeated several rounds of mental construction for herself.

Ten minutes later, Ruan Jinghong finally returned to the living room with a cup of hot water.

"Teacher Wen, sorry for the wait. I had to boil the water first so it took some time."

"Thank you." Wen Jin put away the mobile phone she was looking at, and took the glass half full of water from Ruan Jinghong's hand. She clasped the wall of the glass with her beautiful fingers, and looked through the glass, as if her fingers were swaying in the water.

Ruan Jinghong's gaze was unconsciously attracted by the well-defined and beautifully shaped hand. After staring for two seconds, she realized the offense and lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers as if she had done something wrong.

Wen Jin watched every move of the little thing beside her, and didn't say much.

She raised her head and drank two sips of water. Her slender neck stretched like a swan, and she even swallowed in a graceful arc.

"Just now, you only cared about me, did you drink water yourself?"

Wen Jin spoke up and rescued Ruan Jinghong's red-stained fingers from being tortured by its master.

"Teacher Wen, I'm not thirsty."

Drinking water was just a temporary reason for Ruan Jinghong to escape from the scene. She was only focused on her mental construction just now, she forgot that she also needed to rehydrate.

"That's why I didn't drink it all. You danced before, so you should also drink some water too. I just drank on this cup. You don't mind, do you?

As Wen Jin said, she turned the cup half a circle, and handed it to Ruan Jinghong who was "punishing herself" with her head down.

"Of course not!"

Wen Jin said that, so if Ruan Jinghong still insists on not drinking, it will be implying that she is "disgusted".

Ruan Jinghong raised her head to take the cup of water in Wen Jin's hand, aimed at the mouth of the glass on her side, and drank the rest of the water with a few gulps.

She didn't feel anything before, but now she really feels a little thirsty.

Wen Jin saw Ruan Jinghong's beautiful pink lips sticking to the same place where she had just drank water, and the corners of her eyes curved happily.

"Since we've drunk water, shall we continue watching the variety show together?"

"Yeah." After getting along for a few days, Ruan Jinghong got used to obeying Wen Jin's arrangement, immediately put down the water glass, and sat back on the sofa again.

Wen Jin pressed the play button. At this time, the variety show was broadcasting how Ruan Jinghong used body language to communicate with foreigners to buy old hens.

Ruan Jinghong didn't think there was anything wrong when she was buying before, but now looking at herself in the video, she looks like a child with ADHD, who can directly pull up to the Spring Festival Gala to perform skits in minutes. Only then she realized her social death.

The most annoying thing is having someone next to you enjoying your dark past or something!

Because of Ruan Jinghong's unexpected performance, the direction of the barrage was also successfully diverted.

[Ruan Meow Meow, a rising star in the comedy world, has shown us a new image of sand sculpture* after being a silly beauty]

*Sand sculpture (沙雕/Shādiāo), internet buzzword used as replacement to its homonym Stupid dick (傻屌/Shǎ diǎo). Usually used as a joke/teasing, but depending on the context, it can also come out as offending.

[Although, Ruan Meow Meow's skin can't be considered rare, she obviously can rely on her face to make a living, but she still relies on being a sand sculpture. dog head/]

[But don't tell me, although this method is funny, it is quite useful, the owner is going to get the chicken]

[Hahaha, the shop owner not only understands it, but also speaks Chinese, I burst out laughing]

[Ruan Meow Meow: Played a lonely role]

[Ruan Meow Meow did not act in vain, the comedy world cannot do without you.  Scissorhands* go!]

*V gesture for victory 

Ruan Jinghong used her whole life's skills to endure the shame in her heart, and finally waited until the grocery shopping part was over, and the two returned to the yard together.

Right now, the plot is relatively flat. Apart from making fun of her for being crazy, the netizens are fine.

Ruan Jinghong secretly rejoiced in her heart: The embarrassment will eventually pass, may the years behind the content be peaceful, and may the world be peaceful.

However, when she saw the next scene, she would rather pull the progress bar back to where the cosplaying hen was shopping just now, and let everyone "hahaha".

The camera showed that Ruan Jinghong succeeded in looking at the map to find her way, and rolled into Wen Jin's arms in a circle with an excited face. Later, they added big subtitles like "throwing herself in her arms"!

At this moment, a pink special effect of "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" appeared in the barrage, and it took a while before other subtitles could be seen.

[Skinship, skinship, family members, Wen Xiang  Ruan Yu have been in the same group until now, and finally ushered in the first skinship!]

*Term used is Sticker/Sticking (贴贴/Tie Tie) refers to the close relationship and interaction between two people, including love, family affection, friendship, etc. It is mainly used to describe the love between boys and girls. Later it became more Lily-centric; it was used by fans of vtuber Higuchi Kaede and Tsukizhimi Usagi when they paid attention to and created their cp plot.

-Skinship is another Japanese coined word (mainly used in Japan and S. Korea) describing closeness due to physical contact (hand touch, hand hold, hug, kiss…etc). I used this one because it's more commonly used but i think Tie Tie doesn't necessarily have to be a physical contact. More on a show of intimacy; close proximity, affectionate chatting, a look..etc.

[I declare, rounding up the two here, and Wenxiang Ruanyu is now married!]

[This program is also known as "Wife's Honeymoon" or "Wenxiang Ruanyu's Daily Life after Marriage" dog head/]

[The two of them are going to cook, but I don't want to watch cooking and eating now, I just want to watch Queen Wen eat Ruan Meow Meow]

[I noticed that Ruan Meow Meow has been referring to the actress as "Teacher Wen" ever since she was on the show, and she is the only one here who calls her that way]

["Teacher Wen", what kind of love affair between couples is this? It's already filled with ten thousand words of teacher-student play in my mind!]

If expressions have a temperature, Ruan Jinghong feels that her face can directly boil water at this time.

This time she learned to be smart, no matter how fierce the barrage was, she stood still. Her waist is straight and her eyes are burning

Never look around or show any sense of guilt, otherwise it may be even more awkward.

But she forgot one thing, that is, the load-bearing capacity of this fabric sofa is not very good.

She was sitting too upright at this time, without the back of the sofa to share the weight and the cushion sank again.

She slipped and fell into Wen Jin's arms again.

The tablet on Wen Jin's right hand was transferred to her left hand at some point, and her free arm bent, just in time to catch Ruan Jinghong's waist leaning over.

At this moment, the two people outside the screen seemed to be reproducing what was played in the video just now.

The arm around her waist is very warm, but Ruan Jinghong almost cried in her heart.

If I am guilty, please punish me directly instead of constantly breaking the limits of my social death on the same night.

Ruan Jinghong doesn't want to save face anymore, she just wants to run away like the coward in the video.

But this is her own room.

Would it be very extremely impolite to ask Wen Jin to leave right now?

When Ruan Jinghong was in a dilemma, Wen Jin thoughtfully spoke up.

"I think you're not used to sitting on this sofa. Since you don't like leaning on it, why don't you remove the pillow and cushion it, so that it won't collapse so easily."

Ruan Jinghong felt amnesty upon hearing the words: That's right, it's all because of the sofa, not me!

She followed Wen Jin's instructions and placed the pillow on the cushion, and sure enough, she sat much more steadily now.

Just the right amount of thoughtfulness to resolve an embarrassment into nothing.

Wen Jin saw all of Ruan Jinghong's reactions, and saw that she was much more relaxed now, so she pressed the video play button again.

"Then let's continue watching. It's pretty good."

Ruan Jinghong nodded slightly, thinking: Teacher Wen really loves watching this variety show.

The video is currently broadcasting Ruan Jinghong skillfully removing the feathers of a headless hen by placing it in a pot filled with boiling water. The pink bubbles before the barrage are replaced by the full screen "666"*.

*666: nice or smooth, a praise usually in gaming when someone showed an impressive skill.

[Damn, did they really shoot the chicken feathering scene? I'm afraid]

[Is it possible for a kitten to pluck the feather of a hen? Concubine Ruan, how many surprises do you have that I don't know?]

[Ruan Meow Meow's skillful gestures are similar to my grandma's, but why is she so beautiful when she does it?]

[You social cat sister, beautiful and wild!]

[Passing by, why do so many of you like to call Ruan Jinghong a cat?]

[Since someone asked, there was a wave of advertisements at this time, and all the answers lie in the Chaohua "Wen Xiang Ruan Yu"]

The kitchen is Ruan Jinghong's home base. If she was dubbed as a "silly beauty" and a "sand sculptured cat" before, then at this moment, it can be said that she has finally shown her femininity.

As she seasoned, stewed, and directed the chicken in an orderly manner, when the hot chicken soup was cooked, the audience seemed to be able to smell the aroma of the pot through the screen.

[I'm going, are you sure I'm watching a holiday variety show, not "A Bite of China"?]

*docu-series started in 2011 where chefs introduce China's unfamiliar cuisines and their history.

[Complaint about the program group poisoning late at night, my stomach is growling, I'm going to cook a bowl of chicken soup...instant noodles]

[I obviously came here to ship on CP, but now I want to betray, can Ruan Meow Meow come home with me to cook chicken noodle soup?]

[Queen Wen sent a death stare. Although... I also want to]

Ruan Jinghong was very pleased to see hee cooking skills being recognized.

Even when Wen Jin's bewitching expression of beauty and desire was played when she ate, most of the attention of the barrage was still focused on the chicken noodle soup.

Until Jin Ziyi, who was eating and drinking, appeared, and the barrage began to wail.

[Damn it, why can she eat so deliciously? At this moment, I want my soul to wear* Jin Ziyi]

*soul-wearing in Chinese novels means transmigration: the passing of a soul into another body after death, but in this context, they're basically just saying they want to be in Jin Ziyi's place or possess her to experience what she's experiencing.

[Wants soul to wear Jin Ziyi+1]

[+2]

[+3]10086]

The same content can be sent by clicking+1 behind the bullet screen. At this time, the screen is full of "Wants the soul to wear Jin Ziyi" only because of a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup.

Seeing this, Ruan Jinghong couldn't help but feel a little proud. For the first time, she felt that these barrages were very cute.

But now that the video has been broadcast, Ruan Jinghong has a small doubt in her heart: Why has it been all about me and Teacher Wen since the grouping?

Until she saw the words "Only watch TA"* lit up in the lower right corner of the video.

*Only watch TA (只看TA), a feature in selected Chinese streaming apps where the viewers can set to only watch the scenes of a certain celebrity and skip the parts without him/her. TA in Chinese online content refers to a unisex pronoun he/she, him/her (he/she/it is TA in Chinese but they use different Chinese characters 他/她/它 so in order to shorten it they use TA)

Teacher Wen, you're quite narcissistic.
