When Jiang Yanchen returned to the self-built house, Lin Yichen was sitting in the living room waiting for him.
Seeing Jiang Yanchen return, he quickly went up to him.
"Brother Yanchen, are you okay? What happened this afternoon really was nothing, it was just falling in chicken poop, we've all forgotten about it."
Jiang Yanchen's face darkened. He sat at the door taking off his rain boots while Lin Yichen kept chattering beside him.
"Brother Yanchen, how about you team up with me tomorrow? When you fell in the chicken poop, Sister Ji Zhaoxi didn't even help you up, she just climbed up a tree."
"I don't mean to say Sister Ji Zhaoxi is bad, it's perfectly normal to protect oneself when encountering danger, but if my teammate fell in chicken poop, I definitely wouldn't leave them in the lurch."
Lin Yichen's face showed some guilt. "Brother Yanchen, when you fell in the chicken poop, I originally wanted to rush up to help, but the situation was too chaotic at the time..."
"Are you done yet?" Jiang Yanchen's expression was frighteningly cold.
Saying "chicken poop" over and over again, was he afraid he would forget about it?
"Don't bother me."
Lin Yichen's face instantly turned pale.
The door slammed shut heavily. Jiang Yanchen didn't even spare Lin Yichen a glance.
The cameraman looked at Lin Yichen with extreme pity. Had Lin Yichen never heard of Jiang Yanchen's bad reputation?
At this time, Jiang Yanchen's fans and Lin Yichen's fans were arguing fiercely in the bullet comments.
[Hasn't Jiang Yanchen gone to get his mania treated yet? I remember he trended last time for hitting someone, right?]
[Since when does A-Yan have mania? He just saw through the true colors of certain overgrown babies. Let me add, he already won the lawsuit regarding the hitting incident.]
[I want to throw up. Yichen kindly comforted someone, only to be called disgusting by that someone. Why invite such a guest? No wonder he's always rumored to be acting like a diva.]
[Pure bystander here, Jiang Yanchen went a bit too far, right? Taking his anger out on Lin Yichen just because he felt embarrassed? What did Lin Yichen do wrong?]
[This is why people with low emotional intelligence shouldn't comfort others. He comforted him right into blowing up.]
[??? What kind of logic do Jiang Yanchen's fans have? Is it a crime to comfort him now?]
Lin Yichen returned to his room. While rinsing his mouth, he faced the camera with red eyes.
After a short while, all the lights in the room were turned off, and muffled crying came from Lin Yichen's bed.
Early the next morning, Lin Yichen's eyes were frighteningly red and swollen.
During breakfast, Ye Mubai looked at him with concern. "Little brother, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you not sleep well?"
Lin Yichen's eyes reddened, and he shook his head.
Ye Mubai became even more worried. "What exactly happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Yichen's smile was a bit bitter. "It's nothing, I think I made Brother Yanchen angry."
Ye Mubai paused for a moment and looked at Jiang Yanchen, who was leaning against the wall by the door.
Jiang Yanchen didn't like the food here, so he avoided eating it whenever possible. In the morning, he just waited at the door for them to finish eating before setting off.
"Teacher Jiang..." Ye Mubai's tone also became somewhat awkward. "It's fine, Teacher Jiang's temper is just like that. He probably doesn't mean you any harm."
"Really, Sister Mubai?" Lin Yichen's expression was somewhat worried.
Ye Mubai nodded affirmatively. "Really, I worked with Teacher Jiang once before, and that's just his personality."
A smile finally appeared on Lin Yichen's face.
Jiang Yanchen looked at Ji Zhaoxi, who had already mingled with the elderly people under the big tree.
Those elderly people kept feeding her, and she embarrassedly stuffed the food into her bag.
The food provided by the production team required points. He always saw Ji Zhaoxi eating things that the production team hadn't given them; it turned out they came from here.
Just then, those elderly people suddenly looked in his direction, and Ji Zhaoxi also looked over.
Jiang Yanchen: ?
He panicked for a second and hurriedly picked up a straw hat nearby to put it on.
But he accidentally bumped into a hoe next to him. The hoe fell to the ground with a clatter, knocking over a basket full of sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes scattered all over the ground, and a gust of wind blew the straw hat a short distance away.
There was a clattering noise outside, but the people sitting inside were too embarrassed to ask about it.
Jiang Yanchen: ...
With a dark face, he picked up the sweet potatoes one by one and put them back into the basket, then stood the hoe back up.
Just as he was about to pick up the straw hat, a fair hand appeared in his line of sight and picked it up.
He kept his head down, took the hat, put it on, and said in a muffled voice, "Thanks."
His ears were a little red, and he regretted it immensely in his heart. What on earth was he panicking about just now?
Looking at what Ji Zhaoxi handed over, he asked instinctively, "What's this?"
Ji Zhaoxi smiled. "It's a local specialty snack here. Try it and see if you like it."
When it came to food, she really admired Jiang Yanchen. If he said he wouldn't eat, he wouldn't eat, not forcing himself at all.
Jiang Yanchen frowned, his face full of resistance.
"Just take a bite. What if you faint from hunger later when you go catch chickens?" Ji Zhaoxi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If Jiang Yanchen fainted from low blood sugar because he didn't eat, he would fall into chicken poop again.
Jiang Yanchen also heard the underlying meaning in Ji Zhaoxi's words, and his face showed some embarrassment.
Jiang Yanchen had been an extremely picky eater since he was a child. If he hadn't been born into the Jiang family, he would have starved to death long ago.
But not everyone out in the world had the Jiang family's conditions to spoil him.
Jiang Yanchen looked at Ji Zhaoxi's expectant eyes, his face showing some conflict.
If he didn't take it, those anti-fans would probably mock her, right?
He uncomfortably took the item from her hand and took a bite.
"How is it?" Ji Zhaoxi looked at him expectantly. "I thought you might like these, so I brought a few over."
Jiang Yanchen still couldn't bring himself to say the word "terrible," but he couldn't say "delicious" either.
He was silent for a while before struggling to spit out, "It's not bad."
Ji Zhaoxi looked at him in shock.
Really? But he looked like he was about to throw up.
Ji Zhaoxi didn't dare to force him anymore.
The group of guests finally dawdled their way to the chicken farm.
Jiang Yanchen's expression was exceptionally serious. He held a large broom and stood in the middle, looking as if he had come to claim the chickens' lives.
Ji Zhaoxi held a fishing net, her expression also very serious.
As soon as the chickens in the farm saw it was the same people who caught them yesterday, they started scurrying around before the competition even began. Some chickens even pooped as they ran, making the scene quite spectacular.
The director had originally planned to explain the game rules again, but looking at Jiang Yanchen's impatient gaze, his mouth twitched. "Then let's begin."
As soon as the whistle blew, everyone immediately sprang into action.
Jiang Yanchen had eyes only for those chickens, completely blind to everything else. He followed the methods Ji Zhaoxi had told him yesterday.
Corner them, block them with the broom, scatter rice, grab their wings, and toss them into the cage.
The movements were fluid and continuous, and he quickly caught his first chicken.
Ji Zhaoxi was stunned beside him. She looked at him in disbelief. "How did you catch it?"
Jiang Yanchen looked at her in confusion. "Using the method you taught me yesterday."
Ji Zhaoxi fell completely silent.
She was an idiot; she had forcefully trained a strong rival for herself!
Jiang Yanchen looked at her expression and paused. He was just about to ask her what was wrong, why her gaze was so complex.
It was brimming with disbelief, sorrow, regret, anger, jealousy, fury...
Jiang Yanchen had no idea how he managed to discern so many complex emotions in her gaze.
In the next second, he saw Ji Zhaoxi grab a net and charge straight ahead.
Jiang Yanchen's expression shifted drastically. Grabbing a broom, he rushed forward from another direction.
