On the other side, Ning Siyuan was engrossed in taking photos and videos of the barbecued meat and vegetables on his plate.

“What are you doing?” Ling Xiaoqi was a little stunned by this scene.

Although taking photos before eating was not exclusive to girls, with Ning Siyuan’s personality, he did not look like he would do such a thing.

“I’m taking a picture to show my brother.”

“Your brother?” Ling Xiaoqi had heard about his family’s situation from Ning Siyuan. She knew that Ning Siyuan had a younger brother who was a celebrity and was from Su Yayan’s company.

“He went overseas two days ago to shoot a variety show. He has to stay there for a week before he can come back. I heard that the place is relatively remote and the conditions are harsh. He can’t eat or sleep well. He has to do everything himself.”

Ning Qirui had indeed accepted a variety show recently. He said that he wanted to experience life in the most beautiful places in the country.

When Ning Qirui heard that the scenery was the most beautiful, he excitedly packed his things and ran over.

When he arrived there, he suffered a blow from reality. The scenery there was beautiful, but… the living conditions were too backward!

On the first day Ning Qirui went there, he was beaten up by reality. There was really nothing there.

It was fine if he lived in a straw hut, but he could not even buy a good nutrient shake, forcing Ning Qirui to almost eat tree bark.

That was fine. Fans nowadays liked to see big celebrities being messed up. They claimed to be discovering the hidden side of celebrities so that everyone could see their cute contrast.

For the sake of the viewership ratings, the production team went all out to train them. Ning Qirui had only been there for two days, but when he contacted them, he was no longer in high spirits before he left. All that was left was deep regret and bitter tears.

His brother was suffering in the distance and starving, but his brother was eating well at his boss’s house. One could imagine how devastated Ning Qirui would be after seeing these photos and videos.

Ling Xiaoqi heard the gloating in Ning Siyuan’s words and said with a subtle expression, “You’re too bad.”

When Ning Siyuan heard Ling Xiaoqi’s words, he was not angry. Instead, he was delighted. He smiled slyly. “It’s better if I’m bad.”

“Why?”

“Isn’t there a saying that women don’t love men if they aren’t bad?”

Ling Xiaoqi did not expect him to say that. It took her a while to react. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Why? Do you want other women to love you too?”

“All I need is a little kitten to love me.”

Ling Xiaoqi’s face turned red. Ning Siyuan had saved her during their first encounter.

After that, Ning Siyuan even personally sent her home. After the two of them got together, Ling Xiaoqi asked him why he liked her.

Ning Siyuan’s explanation at that time was, “It was love at first sight. You were frightened at that time and looked at me pitifully like a homeless kitten.”

Since then, the word “kitten” had become their unspoken little secret.

Ning Siyuan suddenly mentioning it at this moment could be said to be a 100,000-point critical hit for Ling Xiaoqi. How could she care about Ning Siyuan’s teasing words just now?

Hua Hua followed the fragrance of the barbecue and found her mistress. This was what she saw. Her master mistress and sat in her seat in a daze. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked up and glared at the person beside her.

Hua Hua knew that her master’s use of the two-legged beast’s words was called embarrassment. It was shyness rather than real anger.
