Chapter 148: Blocking the Little Mouth (Two in One)

Liao Qing was watching a few people from the side. For some reason, he always felt that this atmosphere was somewhat out of place for him.

Why do I have the illusion that the four of them are a family and I am the only outsider who is excluded? It's really strange.

"You guys chat about that, I'll go get you some tea."

Liao Qing wisely went out to ask the staff to get tea cups.

It doesn't look like she's needed in the stories of these people.

Besides, Chu Ze was not an outsider anyway, and Xia Anruo seemed to be very familiar with his sister. Liao Qing had nothing to worry about and there was no need to keep an eye on him.

The four of them sat on the small sofa in the room, surrounding the small coffee table in front of them.

"Um... Uncle, are you hungry? You can have some snacks to fill your stomach." Xia Anruo half bent over and handed the snacks prepared for her by the program crew from the fruit plate on the coffee table to Chu Mingtao.

"Thank you, thank you." Chu Mingtao quickly took it and thanked him.

"Would you like to eat some melon seeds?" Xia Anruo asked as he grabbed another handful of melon seeds.

"no, I'm fine."

"Where are the nuts?"

"I'll get it myself. I'll get it myself."

Chu Mingtao was a little overwhelmed by Xia Anruo's enthusiasm.

"Then Qingqing, do you want to eat?" Xia Anruo turned to Chu Wanqing again.

"Thank you, Sister An Ruo."

Chu Wanqing started eating without any hesitation.

After all, it was normal for Chu Mingtao to have concerns. Chu Wanqing knew Xia Anruo's identity, so of course he was not so polite and just buried his head in eating.

She just participated in the show and cheered for a long time. It was physically demanding and she must be hungry.

Chu Ze felt like laughing when he saw Xia Anruo being so attentive. Facts proved that even if a big star encountered this situation, there was no essential difference between him and a young wife.

Chu Ze pulled Xia Anruo's ancient-style long skirt and motioned her to sit down. Because the performance had just ended, Xia Anruo had not had time to completely change out of her ancient costume. She only took off the hair accessories on her head.

This attire and her attentive behavior made her look like an ancient maid.

Xia Anruo then sat next to Chu Ze, sitting in a well-behaved posture with an awkward but polite smile on her face.

After showing my courtesy, I couldn't speak anymore and felt awkward.

At this time, should we add: "Eat and drink well."

Never mind, that's even more embarrassing.

What should I say at this time?
Fortunately, Chu Mingtao spoke first, his tone a little excited: "Ms. An Ruo, I have been your fan for many years. I especially like the songs you sing. I have all your albums."

Xia Anruo looked at Chu Ze in surprise, obviously it was the first time she heard about this.

She really didn't know that Chu Ze's father also loved listening to her songs.

Chu Ze shrugged and said, "Don't talk about you. I only found out about this last year after living for so many years."

Seeing Chu Ze nodded, Xia Anruo was flattered and said, "It's my honor that uncle likes my song."

"I didn't expect that Chu Ze was so influential that he could actually come backstage to meet her in person. It was presumptuous of me not to say hello in advance." Chu Mingtao had not believed Chu Ze's words when he heard him say that he could take him directly backstage to meet An Ruo. But now he realized that the relationship between these two people seemed to be really unusual.

A relationship where you can meet each other without having to say hello in advance.

Xia Anruo waved her hands quickly: "No, uncle, it's not presumptuous for you to see me. If you had told me you were coming, I should have been the one to greet you."

"Meet me? Do I have that much face?" Chu Mingtao smiled and thought Xia Anruo was joking.

I thought that today's celebrities are quite approachable and have no airs at all, behaving like a little wife.

Is this Xia Anruo's personality or is this a deliberate character setting?
But it's quite likable anyway.

At this moment, Liao Qing knocked on the door and walked in with a tea tray, placing the teacups on the coffee table.

Chu Mingtao was a little thirsty, so he wanted to pour a cup to quench his thirst. Xia Anruo stood up quickly and grabbed the cup:

"Uncle, let me help you pour it."

"No, no, I can do it myself." Chu Mingtao was flattered.

This big star even offered me tea, how enthusiastic he was.

It seems that it is rare to see stars on TV doing this for their fans.

It was really worth the trip today.

"It's okay, I'll do it. It's a little hot." Xia Anruo poured the water herself, and carefully pinched the edge of the teacup with her jade fingers and handed it to Chu Mingtao.

"I'm so sorry." Chu Mingtao said politely while carefully taking the tea.

"It's my duty." Xia Anruo tried her best to keep her expression normal and said calmly.

But her slightly trembling hands still revealed a trace of panic in her heart.

After all, it's not that easy to calm down.

When handing the tea, the tea almost spilled onto Chu Mingtao's hands.

Seeing this, Chu Mingtao secretly glanced at Xia Anruo's expression...

Was it his illusion? Why did she look a little nervous and unnatural?

strange.

Why does she look more nervous than me?
Who are the fans and who are the idols?
"Nowadays, many celebrities like to act like big shots. It's really rare to find someone as humble as Miss An Ruo..." Chu Mingtao exclaimed while drinking tea.

"Why should a daughter-in-law be so arrogant when she offers tea to her father-in-law?" Chu Wanqing complained subconsciously.

"Cough cough cough."

Chu Mingtao almost spit out his tea when he heard this.

"What wife?" Liao Qing, who was listening nearby, froze in place.

"Qingqing means that just like a daughter-in-law serves tea to her father-in-law, it is the duty of the younger generation to pour tea for the elders." Chu Ze quickly made amends, glaring at Chu Wanqing, and then glancing at Liao Qing who was standing next to him.

The agent is still here, can you please stop talking nonsense?
Liao Qingdu still doesn't know about him and Xia Anruo.

"Really?" Liao Qing looked at Chu Wanqing puzzledly.

Chu Wanqing knew that she had said the wrong thing and stuck out her tongue.

"Um, Miss An Ruo..." Chu Mingtao said.

"Uncle, just call me Anruo." Xia Anruo said.

Xia Anruo felt awkward hearing Chu Mingtao calling her Miss Anruo all the time.

"Isn't that too presumptuous?" Chu Mingtao hesitated.

"There's no such thing as being impolite or not. You are the elder. Do you think it's nice to call your son's friends "Miss" on the left and "Miss" on the right?" Chu Ze also interrupted.

"Isn't he a big star? How can he be treated the same as an ordinary friend?"

“Big stars are also human beings.”

"Yes, yes, uncle, don't be so polite. Just treat me as an ordinary junior."

Xia Anruo nodded in agreement and sat next to Chu Ze, sitting very well and properly.

Liao Qing, who was standing by, also opened his eyes.

I've never seen her so well-behaved when I met her sponsor before.

It was the first time she saw Xia Anruo act like this towards outsiders. Was it because she had listened to her previous advice about currying favor with Chu Ze, so now she was taking the opportunity to curry favor with his family as well?
This child is quite obedient.

Just look at this performance, why is it so flattering?
I asked you to fawn on me, not to be a bootlicker. There is no good end for bootlickers.

Liao Qing wanted to give him a reminder, but it was not appropriate now, so he had to quietly leave the room.

At this time, Xia Anruo and Chu Mingtao were chatting awkwardly in the room.

It's just magical.

These two people, they get nervous when they look at each other!

On the one hand, I was a little nervous about meeting the stars, and on the other hand, I was a little nervous about meeting the parents. The nervousness was not on the same level.

Xia Anruo had never felt so uncomfortable before. She poked Chu Ze's kidney and signaled him to save her.

Chu Ze said that he couldn't save her, and he had never brought his girlfriend to meet her parents. Besides, this was not a meeting with the parents, to be precise it should be an idol fan meeting, which is your area of ​​expertise!
Good at nothing!

Which idol’s fan is your future father-in-law?
No matter how weird other fans are, she can handle them calmly, but she can't handle someone as important as your dad.

Even if you let Tian come later, this situation will still be awkward.

Chu Wanqing sat aside and ate melon seeds with great interest.

It's inexplicably funny to feel that the dad is the only one among the four people who doesn't know the truth.

Sister An Ruo’s reaction is also funny.

It’s much more fun than variety shows.

Just play, play, and you’ll just know how to play.

But it was really fun, and Chu Ze was also having fun because he found that the material of Xia Anruo's ancient costume was silky, smooth, cool and very comfortable to touch.

So he quietly moved up along the hem of her sleeves, and unknowingly touched Xia Anruo's back. The thin veil behind her was pressed against her smooth back, and the cold touch was mixed with her warm body temperature...

The feel was amazing and Chu Ze couldn't let it go for a while.

Xia Anruo was chatting with Chu Mingtao when she suddenly felt a pair of mischievous dog paws touching her from behind.

The awkward but polite smile on her face froze. She was about to turn her head to glare at Chu Ze to warn him, but Chu Ze's hand suddenly stroked her back from behind. She felt as if her soul was sucked away from her whole body, and the tingling feeling almost made her scream out.

"Well……"

Chu Mingtao was right in front of her, so Xia Anruo definitely couldn't scream out. She could only bite her lips and hold it in, and her voice was trembling a little.

"Stop touching."

Xia Anruo secretly kicked Chu Ze and quietly reminded him to be more restrained.

"It's okay, it won't be discovered." Chu Ze is an experienced person. He has seen movies where it's often okay for the husband to commit the crime, let alone for the father to commit the crime.

He has been trained by hundreds of teachers and is very stable.

Is this something that can be discovered or not?
Xia Anruo felt ashamed and annoyed inside, but she calmly reached her hand around her waist and behind her back, trying to grab Chu Ze's mischievous hand.

Of course Chu Ze noticed her movements and it was impossible for her to catch him.

So Xia Anruo used one hand to fumble behind her back, while Chu Ze used one hand to move flexibly behind her, and the two of them competed silently behind their backs.

It was impossible to not notice any movements when the two of them were playing around like this. Chu Mingtao also noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing happened." Xia Anruo reacted, stopped what he was doing, and sat up straight.

"Anruo, you don't look well." Chu Mingtao noticed that Xia Anruo's face was a little red and her expression was unnatural.

"You're too tired." Chu Ze helped explain, "After all, the finals are so intense and stressful."

"Oh, we have disturbed you for too long. You should have some rest. We will go back first."

Chu Mingtao didn't know what to talk about, so he took the opportunity to leave. Chu Ze found an excuse to stay and let Chu Mingtao take Chu Wanqing away first.

As Chu Mingtao and Chu Wanqing left, Xia Anruo breathed a sigh of relief, her whole body slumped on the sofa, she slapped Chu Ze's hand away and rolled her eyes at him: "Is it fun?"

"Fun." Chu Ze nodded.

"You did this on purpose?" Xia Anruo said angrily.

"I see that you are too nervous, so I want to ask you to relax." Chu Ze smiled.

"I told you to relax..." Xia Anruo was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she reached out her jade hand to strangle him.

Chu Ze naturally grabbed her outstretched wrist and changed the subject: "By the way, I haven't congratulated you on winning the championship yet."

"Shouldn't we have said this when we first arrived?" Although Xia Anruo knew that he was trying to change the subject, she still pouted.

"I forgot, but now that I won the championship, shouldn't I fulfill my promise?" Chu Ze touched Xia Anruo's smooth back of the hand and stared at her with loving eyes.

"What, what promise..." Xia Anruo seemed to remember something and turned her head away slightly.

"What do you think? Do you agree to the promise of being my girlfriend?" Chu Ze didn't keep the question in suspense and reminded directly.

"...Hasn't it been like this for a long time?" Xia Anruo blushed and muttered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum.

"Huh? What did you say?" Chu Ze didn't hear clearly.

"I said...it has been like this for a long time." Xia Anruo bit her lip and repeated in a low voice.

"But you didn't agree to it in person, so it doesn't count." Chu Ze shook his head.

"No, there's no need." Xia Anruo hesitated.

"It is necessary. How can I know whether you like me or not if you don't tell me?" Chu Ze nodded seriously.

Defaults are defaults, but the process still needs to be followed, and the main point is that there needs to be a sense of formality.

"If I didn't like it, I would have chopped off your dog paws a long time ago." Xia Anruo glanced at his stinky hands touching her little hands, and said unhappily.

"Then I still want to hear you say in person that you like me and agree to be my girlfriend." Chu Ze said with a joking smile.

Xia Anruo pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Can you tell me?"

"Prefer not to say."

Xia Anruo looked away. How could she say so seriously that she liked him in front of him?

It’s shameful to think about it.

"You really don't want to tell me?"

"Did not say."

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to do it."

As soon as Chu Ze finished speaking, Xia Anruo hadn't reacted yet when she felt an arm wrapped around her slender waist. She turned her head sharply and saw Chu Ze had put his arms around her waist and leaned over to press on her.

"Wait wait, what are you doing?"

Looking at the face so close to her, Xia Anruo's mind went blank and her little hand rested on Chu Ze's chest.

"You don't want to say it, so I can only find another way to make you say it yourself."

Chu Ze licked his lips and glanced at Xia Anruo's rosy lips. Xia Anruo immediately understood.

So personally?

"I said, isn't it okay for me to say it?" Xia Anruo's heart tightened.

"Isn't it too late to say it now?" Chu Ze chuckled.

Xia Anruo was about to say it was not too late, but before she could say anything, she only heard two grunts.

The next second, Xia Anruo's little mouth was blocked tightly, and no sound could come out.
