Chapter 131 His Confession
"Shen Ruci, are you confessing your feelings to me? Or are you playing some kind of game? I must warn you, I'm not one of those girls who are easily swayed by your charm."
Shen Ruci's lips curled up slightly, his gaze earnest and profound, looking straight into Qin Zhao's eyes.
"Qin Zhao, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I've kept those feelings to myself all this time. Especially after hearing that you and my cousin were engaged, I didn't dare to say it out loud."
He paused, seemingly gathering his emotions, before continuing, "A few days ago, I received a message in the family group chat that my cousin's engagement to you had been canceled. That means the engagement between you and my cousin is null and void. I was thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to confess my feelings to you."
But I also know that feelings can't be forced.
I just wanted to tell you that I'm willing to wait for you.
When you're willing to accept me, it's okay if you aren't.
We can be just friends.
As Shen Ruci said this, love appeared in his eyes.
Is he truly in love with Qin Zhao, or is it just love at first sight?
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao's heart stirred slightly.
But her face remained calm.
"Shen Ruzhi, I'm touched by your words, but I don't want to make a decision based on a momentary impulse. Let's start as friends. If we're truly compatible, who knows what the future holds?"
A hint of relief flashed in Shen Ruci's eyes. "Alright, I respect your decision. We'll be friends, and I'll prove my sincerity with my actions."
The two chatted happily, but Shen Qingqi's expression was extremely unpleasant.
The engagement has been dissolved and no longer exists.
My cousin doesn't need to be in such a hurry to confess his feelings, does he?
She almost became his sister-in-law.
Shen Ruci had just finished speaking.
Shen Qingqi couldn't help but interrupt, his face gloomy and his tone tinged with displeasure: "Ru Ci, are you serious? Qin Zhao was my fiancée before, and you..."
He felt something was disappearing.
She looked at Shen Ruci with even more dissatisfaction.
Shen Qingqi truly never expected that his cousin would like Qin Zhao.
This affection and love were hidden so deeply.
The thought of the girl he once rejected being so liked by his cousin made him feel uneasy.
It felt like someone had stolen your precious treasure.
It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Shen Qingqi frowned.
He tried to hide his emotional fluctuations.
Shen Ruci did not back down when faced with his cousin's questioning.
“Cousin, I know this is hard for you to accept, but my feelings for Qin Zhao are real. Besides, your engagement with Qin Zhao has been dissolved, so it doesn’t count anymore, right?”
Shen Ruci stared intently at Shen Qingqi.
Shen Qingqi remained silent for a long time.
He gave Shen Ruci a deep look.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
There was both confusion and disappointment.
He didn't interrupt again; he had no right to interfere with his cousin.
It's clear that my cousin genuinely likes Qin Zhao.
What else could he say?
Cheng Qingrou, who was sitting on the ground digging for wild vegetables on the other side, also heard it.
Qin Zhao actually has someone who likes him, and it's Shen Ruci.
She used to look down on Shen Ruci.
Indeed, in Cheng Qingrou's eyes, there was only Shen Qingqi.
Unfortunately, she lost the Shen Qingqi she once knew.
Getting it back won't be that easy.
Shen Qingqi doesn't like her now.
I'd rather stay single forever.
Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Alright, we don't know what will happen in the future. Let's hurry up and dig some wild vegetables to take back, wild onions or anything will do. Now that there are more people, that little bit of food may not be enough. We still need to cook dinner tonight."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ruci looked at her and said, "Yes, let's find some food together."
Everyone was busy with their own things.
On the other side, Qin Ke had already put a band-aid on Wu Ruanruan before feeling relieved. It wasn't impossible to skip a day of tasks; the weather was getting colder and colder, and a blizzard had fallen a few days ago.
It's possible that it will continue to snow this time.
Wu Ruanruan noticed that Qin Ke's expression was off.
He quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Ke came to her senses and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little worried about the weather. I'm afraid it will snow heavily again. In the past two or three years, we haven't had such heavy snow. Looking at the gloomy sky, I feel a bit worried."
Hearing him say that, Wu Ruanruan also became a little worried.
She looked up at the overcast sky.
He sighed, "Yes, if it snows heavily again, our food reserves might really be insufficient. This winter seems to be colder than usual."
Qin Ke nodded, her brows furrowed: "We need to find a way to stock up on more food, just in case. Winter has only just begun, and there's still a long way to go."
"Hmm, I think we should go deeper into the area to search."
After saying that, Wu Ruanruan looked up at the depths of the forest ahead.
There's also a lot of food inside.
Although she could collect seafood and fish, she wasn't a very good swimmer and almost lost her life while diving last time, so Wu Ruanruan was afraid to go to the beach.
I'm really afraid she'll get injured again; she's been injured for several days now.
Especially in the dead of winter, it's easy to catch a cold.
Qin Ke frowned and thought about it carefully.
He sat down next to Wu Ruanruan.
“I think we should split into teams of four or five people to go out and find food. They can go out to find food for about a week and then come back to rest. Once or twice a month is enough. Those who are doing missions can stay at the camp.”
“I always felt that the director must have met someone when he was taken back that time. Otherwise, the director has changed too much. I’m afraid that one day he will cancel all the mission points. Ou Wenlin! You need to come here right away.”
Upon arriving, Qin Ke became restless.
Ou Wenlin was startled when he was suddenly called out.
Phew, it was Qin Ke calling him.
Upon hearing Qin Ke's voice, Ou Wenlin hurriedly came over.
Looking at Qin Ke with a puzzled expression, he asked, "What is it? Just say it."
Qin Ke gestured for him to sit down.
Then he shared his worries.
And let me repeat what I just said to Wu Ruanruan.
After hearing this, Ou Wenlin remained silent for a moment.
“Your concerns are not unfounded. The director’s attitude is indeed a bit strange. I agree with your suggestion: let’s organize a small team specifically to collect food.”
He looked around and then said, "However, we need to discuss this with everyone, make sure everyone agrees, and select suitable candidates to form a team."
Qin Ke nodded; he knew that Ou Wenlin's words made a lot of sense.
In this situation, it's still necessary to ask if your teammates are willing.
"Okay, go and call everyone else over. Tell them now, it's better to make plans early. By the way, how many points do we have left?"
"5500."
Ou Wenlin had calculated all his points, and the total points were all here. He hadn't redeemed any items for several days, so the points had accumulated.
"Wait a minute, go and exchange your points for useful items."
