At this moment, the live comments were buzzing with discussion.
[Who on earth stepped on it? It's not easy for farmers to grow crops, who has such bad manners?]
[I feel like it might be Ji Zhaoxi. She was the first to walk out and looked very guilty.]
[Can the Yichen fan upstairs stop making a fuss? I think baby Yichen did it, he's been standing in the back without saying a word.]
[Feels like Jiang Yanchen stepped on it. Maybe he got mad and trampled their vegetable patch in a fit of rage.]
[Are Lin Yichen's fans upstairs sick in the head? Jiang Yanchen might have a bad temper, but he doesn't have a mental problem. I also feel like Lin Yichen stepped on it.]
[Could it be that Ye Mubai is too fat and accidentally crushed those vegetables to death?]
[Why are Lin Yichen's fans constantly spreading rumors in the comment section? They've spread rumors about every single guest!]
Lin Yichen's face was a bit pale. His mind was in total chaos right now, and his body was trembling.
Ye Mubai noticed his movements and looked at him with concern. What's wrong, little brother?
The others all turned their heads to look at Lin Yichen, and his face grew even paler.
As soon as the villager saw Lin Yichen, he was so angry he almost jumped up, cursing continuously in his local dialect. A crowd of people gathered around, and a big yellow dog kept barking nonstop.
The director's face darkened. Lin Yichen, what is going on here?
Lin Yichen's lips trembled a bit. My shoes had too much mud on them at the time, so I wanted to use the grass to scrape the mud off my soles. I didn't know those were vegetables.
The director looked at him, speechless. They are planted in neat rows, and you didn't know they were vegetables?
I really didn't know, Lin Yichen said in a small voice.
[Baby is so silly, you must pay attention next time.]
[So speechless, is he a giant baby? He doesn't even know how to apologize when he makes a mistake.]
[Can the haters stop blowing things out of proportion? The money has been compensated. What, he stepped on a few vegetables, is Lin Yichen supposed to apologize with his life?]
[Then he should just go die, his brain seems like it hasn't fully developed!]
[Upstairs *******, **************]
In the post-interview room, the smile on Lin Yichen's face was extremely forced.
I feel like the female guests on the show really make me feel helpless. Was it necessary for them to be that surprised? And it was a very stereotypical kind of surprise.
If you make a mistake, just make up for it. It wasn't that serious, right? But everyone had an expression like the sky was falling. That kind of expression actually hurt me quite a bit.
Lin Yichen's company began emergency PR, but as soon as one trending topic was taken down, another would pop up, over and over again.
#Lin Yichen ruined a villager's vegetable patch#
#Lin Yichen arrogant#
#Lin Yichen born idol#
#Lin Yichen heartwarming#
#Lin Yichen get out of the entertainment circle#
No matter how many positive trending topics Lin Yichen's company bought, those negative ones just wouldn't go down. Tonight, the employees of Lin Yichen's company would have to stay up late working overtime.
Now, Ye Mubai wasn't paying much attention to Lin Yichen either.
Moreover, ever since she distanced herself from Lin Yichen, she found that she rarely felt insecure about her figure anymore, and she gradually returned to her original personality.
Lin Yichen tried to talk to Ye Mubai countless times, but Ye Mubai avoided him every time. His expression was frighteningly ugly.
He then wanted to hang out with Sang Ranbai, but Sang Ranbai was afraid of starting rumors and avoided him as much as possible.
Lin Yichen was furious. Were these people sick in the head? Just because he accidentally stepped on someone's field, they were treating him like this?
The village had a very large lotus pond. Today's competition was to pick lotus pods, and later, all the guests would have to take them to the town to sell.
During the grouping, Ye Mubai kept a close eye on Ji Zhaoxi's movements.
She didn't want to be in a group with Lin Yichen anymore; she wanted to team up with Ji Zhaoxi.
The village's lotus-picking boats were narrow little wooden boats. Ji Zhaoxi carefully stepped onto one.
Ye Mubai saw this and was just about to go up and ask, but the next second, she saw Jiang Yanchen very naturally step onto that same lotus-picking boat.
Ye Mubai's mind went blank for a moment. Weren't they not grouped up yet?
Director, haven't we not formed teams yet?
The director looked back and shouted, We haven't grouped up yet, why did you guys just get on?
Jiang Yanchen said impatiently, We're already sitting.
The director sighed. Forget it, forget it, just write them down. Jiang Yanchen and Ji Zhaoxi are a group.
Ye Mubai choked up.
If she had known it would be like this, she would have just gotten on directly too.
Director, let me be a group by myself. I'm afraid that if I team up with someone else, the boat will capsize, Ye Mubai said softly.
It's not that exaggerated, right? This boat is actually quite stable. The director looked at her.
Ye Mubai stayed silent. The director looked at Lin Yichen in the back and sighed. Alright then.
In the end, Lin Yichen was grouped with Xie Siheng.
Xie Siheng kept teaching Lin Yichen how to pick lotus pods. Yichen, you come give it a try.
Lin Yichen didn't want to do it, but Xie Siheng kept urging him. Hurry up and get moving. A man shouldn't dawdle. You need to have eyes for work, you know?
Lin Yichen had no choice but to go pick them, but he got tired after working for just a little while. Xie Siheng kept nagging him, and he stopped picking altogether, just staring at Lin Yichen working.
You have to use finesse. Yichen, you need to speed up a bit. Xie Siheng took a sip of tea.
Lin Yichen was extremely impatient, but he didn't dare say anything. He could only work unhappily.
If he had been grouped with Ye Mubai, he wouldn't have to do any work at all right now.
Ji Zhaoxi and Jiang Yanchen's group was especially quiet.
Ji Zhaoxi had originally been anxious about how to trick Jiang Yanchen onto her boat, but she hadn't expected him to come up on his own.
This Jiang Yanchen was quite agreeable.
Their boat had reached the center of the lotus pond. The sunlight was filtered by the overlapping lotus leaves, leaving only a layer of coolness when it reached their bodies.
Ji Zhaoxi grasped the middle part of the stem, bent it in the direction of its growth, and the lotus pod was directly plucked off.
Jiang Yanchen also followed her example to pick lotus pods. Suddenly, a huge lotus flower appeared in his line of sight.
This lotus flower is so big. Ji Zhaoxi saw it too and leaned closer.
Jiang Yanchen subconsciously went to pick it, but for some reason, this lotus flower was much harder to pick than the others. The lotus stalk was deeply rooted in the thick mud.
Forget it, it seems a bit hard to pick.
Jiang Yanchen didn't say anything and continued to pull. Finally, he pulled the lotus flower out, but right at that moment, the small boat began to rock violently. Jiang Yanchen lost his balance and fell straight down.
Splash—
A massive splash of water erupted in the pond. The birds resting on the lotus flowers were startled and immediately flapped their wings and flew away.
The world suddenly quieted down, and a few bubbles gurgled up in the pond.
Ji Zhaoxi wiped the water off her face, her mind going blank for a moment.
What was going on?
She finally reacted and shouted into the water, Jiang Yanchen, are you okay?
The production team was also startled. Just as they were about to jump in, Jiang Yanchen popped out of the water.
His hair was completely soaked, making him look a bit less sharp than usual. A few pink petals hung on his shoulders, and he had a huge lotus leaf resting on top of his head. His eyes were full of shame and indignation.
Hurry and come up.
A hand suddenly appeared in his line of sight. Jiang Yanchen wiped the water off his face and looked up uncomfortably.
With this one glance, he was completely stunned.
Ji Zhaoxi was looking down at him. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the lotus leaves, spilling over her. The sparkling amusement in her eyes beautifully complemented the swaying pink lotuses beside her. As if she could no longer hold it back, the smile on her face grew deeper.
Everything around them seemed to fall silent. Jiang Yanchen could not hear a single thing; he just stared blankly at Ji Zhaoxi.
"Mr. Jiang, is your foot stuck in the mud?"
"Mr. Jiang?"
"Mr. Jiang, are you alright?"
The voices instantly shattered Jiang Yanchen's trance.
Jiang Yanchen finally snapped back to reality, his face instantly flushing red all the way down to his neck. He turned his head away in a fluster, ignoring their words, and awkwardly climbed up on his own.
He angrily threw the lotus leaf from his head into the water and sat at the stern of the boat, as far away from Ji Zhaoxi as possible, keeping his head down without saying a word.
Ji Zhaoxi already knew Jiang Yanchen very well. She knew he definitely felt like he had lost face just now, so she decided to let him process it on his own.
Sporting a bright red face and tightly pursed lips, Jiang Yanchen stared at the shimmering surface of the water, feeling both frustrated and profoundly embarrassed.
He could not help but curse at himself inwardly.
Jiang Yanchen, are you a pervert? She kindly saved you, so why were you staring at her like that?!
