Chapter 190: Chapter 192 How Did They Guess!?

"Your task today is to prepare a surprise for Mrs. Qin. Anything goes. The show will provide each family 2000 RMB, and guests will cover any excess. Your friends will help you."

Gu Zhi: "..."

She pressed her thin lips together, with an expression as if she had seen through everything.

But her face remained calm as she agreed.

Only after Father Qin left happily did she quietly ask, "Is the other task for my parents to prepare a surprise for me?"

The assistant director was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Gu Zhi: "..."

She slightly pulled her lips, saying nothing, her eyes said it all.

The assistant director realized it and helplessly rubbed his forehead, "You’re making it hard for us."

Gu Zhi still didn’t bother to speak, so the assistant director finally said, "You can start discussing what surprise to prepare. You need to be fast, as you only have one day."

After he finished speaking, he opened the live stream room and walked out.

As soon as the live stream started, a flood of viewers rushed in.

[Ahhhh, what happened? Why was the live broadcast turned off just now?]

[I just saw the couple sitting in a room together, tsk tsk tsk, the director team knows what we want to see!]

[I just looked at other streams, seems like everyone’s preparing surprises for each other? What’s today’s task?]

Gu Zhi didn’t speak, just seriously considered what kind of surprise to prepare for Father Qin and Mrs. Qin, as she still didn’t know what they liked.

She was silent for a moment, suddenly remembering something. She looked up at the man across from her and curiously asked, "What surprise are my parents preparing for me?"

Qi Hanyu: "..."

He pressed his lips together and looked at her helplessly, "We haven’t discussed yet."

Gu Zhi said nothing, looking at him suspiciously.

"...You’re making it hard for me." Qi Hanyu felt uneasy under her gaze, couldn’t help but laugh, and changed the topic, "Let’s go, let’s gather first."

Gu Zhi pressed her lips together again, feeling a bit curious and expectant, but didn’t ask more, stood up and walked out.

Not until everyone gathered downstairs did the production team announce today’s schedule as if nothing had happened.

"There’s no activity this morning, everyone has free time. In the afternoon, we’ll regroup to visit Country F’s most famous Provence lavender fields and experience the romance of Country F’s people."

The group gave a perfunctory round of applause, not caring about visiting any landmarks, their focus was on the hidden task.

As soon as the gathering ended, Mrs. Qin eagerly went to Gu Zhi’s room.

"Zhi Zhi, the show wants me to prepare a surprise for your father. What surprise should we prepare? Do you have any good suggestions?"

Gu Zhi thought for a moment, still not sure what to prepare, but saw Mrs. Qin seemed quite expectant.

She pursed her lips and asked, "What do you want to give him? Or what does he like?"

"I don’t know either... Your father has had no wishes in this life; his biggest wish is for you to grow up and have a good life. He doesn’t want anything else, just enough to eat and dress warmly."

Even she couldn’t say what Old Qin wanted as a gift.

Gu Zhi was also silent. Such gifts were the hardest to prepare. For someone who lived simply, life had already worn down his likes—enough to eat and dress warmly was indeed a lifelong pursuit.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I’ll think about it first and let you know."

"Okay, okay," Mrs. Qin didn’t press further but looked a bit uneasy at Qi Hanyu next to her, seemingly wanting to say something but hesitating. In the end, she just said, "Xiao Yu, could you help me with something?"

Qi Hanyu’s thin lips curved into a smile, nodding. He instinctively glanced at Gu Zhi.

The latter seemed to understand, her lips forming a faint smile.

This glance caused the bullet comments to go wild.

[Ahhh, so sweet, really sweet, their smiles were so meaningful! What happened?]

[Wow, this glance, their chemistry is spot on. They’re such a great match!]

[Xiao Yu... hahahaha, Mrs. Qin automatically slipping into the mother-in-law role!]

[So what is happening? Why does everyone seem so mysterious? What did I miss?]

[Seems like each family member is preparing surprises for each other? We’ll find out soon!]

Qi Hanyu left and was immediately called to a room by Mrs. Qin, where Father Qin was also present.

Mrs. Qin didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "Actually... it’s Zhi Zhi’s birthday tomorrow, but I don’t know what to prepare. We’ve never celebrated her birthday before; every child’s birthday was just a bowl of noodles and an egg, nothing else."

The more she spoke, the more her voice choked up.

Qi Hanyu was also stunned, a trace of heartache flashing in his eyes. He pressed his lips together and said, "I understand."

"But I don’t recommend combining the birthday with today’s surprise, a birthday is a birthday, today is just the show’s task."

Mrs. Qin pressed her lips together and nodded in agreement, "But we have no experience in giving gifts, which is why we asked you for advice. Xiao Yu, tell us the truth, did the show also ask Zhi Zhi to prepare a surprise for us, with a budget of 2000 yuan for each?"

Qi Hanyu: "..."

Director Team: "...???"

How did they guess it too?

Is it even possible to play anymore!?

[Hahaha... just now I felt pity for Zhi Zhi, now I’m laughing, Mrs. Qin is smart!?]

[But never celebrating a birthday, truly hard, my birthdays were also just a bowl of noodles and an egg, but as life got better, my mom would prepare a cake.]

[So why did Mrs. Qin suddenly ask this? It feels like everyone is trying so hard to prepare surprises for each other, it’s so touching 🥲/crying.]

Qi Hanyu hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t hide it, nodding, "Indeed there is such a segment, the show intended to keep it secret, didn’t expect you to find out."

Mrs. Qin got his point, nodded, and didn’t say much, only said, "Can you try to save that money to prepare a gift for Zhi Zhi, spend it on her, as her father and I don’t like to spend money?"

Qi Hanyu was taken aback. He didn’t expect that reason and felt a warm, swelling sensation in his heart.

He couldn’t help but smile, softly saying, "It’s okay, the show said we could cover any extra expenses ourselves. She wants to give you the best."

"I know... but it’s unnecessary," Mrs. Qin pressed her lips together. They didn’t have the ability to give Zhi Zhi better lives, even the extra money they had now was earned by Zhi Zhi and her older brother. She said in a light tone, "Just give her the best."

"Don’t worry, she and I will handle it wisely."

Only then did Mrs. Qin feel at ease and nodded, while Father Qin naturally had no objections.

[?? Wow, really? The Qin Family doesn’t let go of any chance to take advantage of the show, always looking for deals?]
