After I transmigrated into the book, both the female lead and I became fragrant

Chapter 38

Seeing through the situation, Zhao Ke could only admit, "Senior sister Liu saw that you didn't have a good appetite today, so she specially asked me to bring it over for you."

Shen Qiqi lowered her head and remained silent, her eyes fixed on the white porcelain bowl, the clear soup, and the plump wontons floating on the surface. The steaming white mist filled the air, warming her long eyelashes.

She sniffed and suddenly asked, "Why didn't she come herself?"

Zhao Ke smiled bitterly, "She said she was afraid you wouldn't want to see her."

Shen Qiqi propped up her cheek with one hand, holding the spoon in the other, and pursed her lips slightly. "Hmph, where wouldn't I want to see her?"

Seeing her mood improve slightly, Zhao Ke persuaded, "Both of you should talk it out and make up soon."

"I want to," Shen Qiqi muttered while stirring the golden soup with her spoon. "But my Senior sister is being stubborn."

She was thin-skinned and petty, even when sending something over, she dared not show her face and had to ask someone else to do it.

Zhao Ke hoped that the two of them would reconcile as soon as possible. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, looking as sincere as if he was worshipping Buddha, "Senior sister Liu is really good. She treats you better than anyone else."

Shen Qiqi nodded in agreement. "That's true. She owes me a favor for treating her so well, so she won't forget it."

She scooped up a small wonton and swallowed it in one bite, causing her cheeks to bulge and her eyes to sparkle.

The soup was delicious, with a sprinkling of her favorite pepper and sesame oil. The wontons were moist and chewy, very addictive.

"It's delicious," she mumbled, her words slurred as she swallowed several more wontons. "My Senior sister is really good at cooking!"

Zhao Ke looked at her hopefully and asked, "So can you forgive Senior sister Liu now?"

Shen Qiqi glanced at him, puzzled. "Why are you so nervous? Senior sister Liu and I had a disagreement."

Zhao Ke found it difficult to speak, and sighed, "I just, care about the two of you."

"Thank you for your concern, senior brother," Shen Qiqi said lazily, finishing her wonton soup and slouching back in her chair. "Please tell Senior sister Liu that the wonton was delicious, but next time she should bring it herself."

Zhao Ke agreed and left, but as he closed the door, he realized belatedly, "Have I become a messenger for the two of them again?!"

He shook his head wryly and left with his bowl.

Alone in the room, Shen Qiqi sat with her hands supporting her face, gazing into space. The oil lamp on the table cast a long shadow behind her, and the candle had already solidified, leaving only a moth fluttering around the edge.

Through the small windows on all four sides of the room, the stars and moon were trapped, like a black and white sketch.

She sighed lightly after a long time. "Should I take the initiative to apologize to the female lead?"

Caring can lead to chaos, and Liu Shuang's anger and scolding were also understandable signs of her concern for her. Shen Qiqi felt troubled and didn't know what to do when there was another knock at the door.

She was surprised and asked, "Who is it?" Could it be Senior sister Liu?

To her surprise, it was Zhao Ke's voice again. "Junior sister!"
