Nan Chu rested in her room for an hour and, after waking up, read a book there.
After half an hour of reading, Nan Chu went downstairs to fetch some water. Just as the water was full, Jiang Han stood beside her.
Seeing him, Nan Chu immediately kept a little distance, and Jiang Han, with a hurt expression, said, "Do you reject me that much?"
Dangerous person, stay away!
But of course, she couldn't say that out loud, so she forced a smile and said, "I have hot water in my hands, I don't want to burn you."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Han was delighted and said with a smile, "Let me help you carry it back to your room."
"No need, I can carry this little bit of water myself." She wasn't a fragile girl, after all.
Jiang Han kept staring straight at Nan Chu, "Can you give me a chance to help, then?"
Nan Chu: "..."
After two minutes of this stalemate, Nan Chu surrendered and handed the kettle to Jiang Han.
Jiang Han helped carry it upstairs.
Upon entering Nan Chu's room, he found it very tidy, with not too many things.
Jiang Han placed the kettle on the insulated tray and didn't leave.
Nan Chu looked at him, implying why he hadn't left yet.
Jiang Han simply sat down on a chair, "Not welcoming me? I'm bored, let's chat for a bit."
"I need to read, no time to chat."
"What are you reading?"
"Miscellaneous books."
Jiang Han said, "Reading is hard on the eyes, why don't we go out for a walk?"
"It's pouring outside, I don't want to go out."
She didn't like rainy days.
"Then let's go sit in the flower house."
"Flower house?"
"Didn't you know? This villa has a greenhouse, the flowers are beautiful."
Nan Chu was a bit tempted.
In her world, flowers and greenery were rare plants, her world suffered from plants withering or mutating due to pollution.
Jiang Han noticed Nan Chu's interest and immediately stood up, took Nan Chu's hand, and headed to the flower house.
Maybe because they held hands so much in the morning, Nan Chu didn't immediately remember to shake off Jiang Han's hand.
When they arrived at the flower house, Nan Chu's eyes lit up.
The flowers were truly beautiful.
"If you want to read, read here."
"Okay." Nan Chu nodded.
Jiang Han pulled out a chair for Nan Chu, "You sit, I'll go get something."
"Okay."
Jiang Han went to the living room, opened the fridge, and washed a plate of grapes to bring out.
Jiang Han didn't sit across from Nan Chu but sat beside her, their chairs adjacent to each other.
"Are you reading a novel?"
"No, I'm reading The Book of Changes."
With a hint of surprise, Jiang Han asked, "Why do you like reading The Book of Changes?"
"Bored, just reading it randomly."
Jiang Han noticed that Nan Chu was very absorbed in her reading.
Seeing that the grapes he washed weren't touched, Jiang Han directly picked one up and fed it to Nan Chu's mouth.
Nan Chu was so engrossed in reading that when the grape reached her mouth, she unconsciously opened it.
Jiang Han's fingers touched Nan Chu's lips, but neither of them reacted much. One was engrossed in her book, the other hiding his thoughts.
After feeding halfway, Jiang Han stopped, afraid Nan Chu would eat too much.
Jiang Han pulled out his phone and took photos of Nan Chu reading, from various angles.
And Nan Chu didn't react at all.
An hour passed, Jiang Han reached out to block Nan Chu's phone.
Nan Chu looked up, her eyes inquiring: What's up?
"It's been an hour, let your eyes rest a bit."
"Want to pick some flowers to take back and put in your room?"
Nan Chu thought for a moment, then shook her head, "These are carefully cultivated by someone else, it's better not to pick them casually."
Jiang Han could see that Nan Chu really wanted them, but she restrained herself.
"You're right."
The two left the flower house, Nan Chu went upstairs, Jiang Han stayed in the living room.
After more than half an hour, the bouquet Jiang Han ordered arrived.
At this moment, Si Junyan came out of the room and glanced at Jiang Han.
"Mr. Jiang, who are they for?"
"None of your business." After Jiang Han said this, he directly went upstairs.
Si Junyan watched Jiang Han's back and clicked his tongue.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Nan Chu opened the door and saw Jiang Han holding a bouquet of roses.
"I ordered these for you, hope you like them," Jiang Han said, looking at Nan Chu.
Nan Chu didn't expect Jiang Han would buy her flowers. Looking at the beautiful roses, she felt a little touched and happy, "Thank you, I really like them."
Holding the flowers, Nan Chu smiled at Jiang Han, her smile as radiant as a flower.
Seeing Nan Chu's smile, Jiang Han felt it was worth it.
"You take a nap; I'll head back to my room first."
"Okay." Nan Chu nodded.
After a while, Nan Chu went downstairs.
Nan Chu found a vase and brought it upstairs, placing the roses Jiang Han gave her into the vase.
Nan Chu even specifically looked up how to care for flowers to make them last longer.
Nan Chu sat beside the flowers and read for the whole afternoon, until her eyes felt a bit sore, and then she left the room for a walk outside.
Jiang Han went to Nan Chu's room to find her but found it empty, took a piece of clothing, and went out.
Soon, he found Nan Chu.
"Nan Chu." Jiang Han called out and walked quickly towards her.
Upon hearing Jiang Han's voice, Nan Chu stopped and turned to look at him.
"You're out for a walk too?"
"No, I came to find you," Jiang Han said bluntly.
Nan Chu looked at Jiang Han, and Jiang Han looked right back at her.
After a moment's gaze, Nan Chu looked away.
Jiang Han said with a smile, "Do you want to continue walking?"
"Yes." Nan Chu nodded.
The two walked along the path together.
With the light rain and gentle breeze, Jiang Han watched as Nan Chu's long hair was caressed by the wind and reached out to touch it.
The two walked quietly for half an hour, and when they returned to the inn, Meng Yuan was sitting in the living room on the phone.
Seeing the two return together, he gave them a slight look before continuing his conversation about work.
Nan Chu went back to her room.
The live broadcast resumed.
Today, Nangong Hengmo and Sha Mengyuan prepared dinner together.
Most of the live broadcast focused on the kitchen, occasionally switching to other guests.
There were only a few shots of Nan Chu, as she was reading most of the time.
However, observant viewers noticed that Nan Chu's room had roses, sparking guesses about who sent them.
They strongly requested the production team to release the raw footage.
Although there was no live stream in the afternoon, except for the bathrooms, the inn was well-covered by cameras.
The content recorded by cameras will be edited into additional episodes by the production team.
An hour passed, and Nangong Hengmo and Sha Mengyuan finished cooking.
Sha Mengyuan's cooking skills were average, and Nangong Hengmo's were better, but everyone was hungry, so all the food was cleaned up.
After dinner, the production team announced a game.
A guessing game with a three-minute limit, partners were as per morning's team assignments.
The winning female guest could have priority in choosing the next day.
Twenty minutes later, the game ended, with Nan Chu and Jiang Han emerging victorious, earning Nan Chu the priority.
The game ended, leading into today's heartthrob voting.
