The longed-for village system

Chapter 108 Is Da Xun going to confess his feelings?
Teacher He nodded in support, knowing that it was just a joke and that it was impossible for Chen Qing to make all the handicrafts to earn money, let alone just Peng Peng.

Moreover, he really wanted to see Lao Wang get his comeuppance; Xiao Chen was practically their nemesis!

"Huh?" Peng Peng was instantly dumbfounded. This wasn't how the story was supposed to go! Looking at Chen Qing with a worried expression, he said, "Brother Chen, we're brothers! Brothers need to have a tacit understanding. How could you betray me!"

"Brother Chen, you've changed ever since you got together with Sister-in-law Xiao Gu. You've become someone who doesn't care about women. Luckily, I still have my sister to help me."

"Little sister? Pengpeng, what are you thinking? That's impossible." Chen Qing immediately cut off Pengpeng's fantasy. "In this family, Teacher Huang is in charge of cooking, Teacher He is in charge of receiving guests, I am in charge of making handicrafts to earn money, you are in charge of working in the fields, and our little sister only needs to stay at home and be beautiful. How dare you ask your little sister to do chores?"

"Pumbaa?"

Upon hearing Teacher Huang's voice, Peng Peng tensed up instantly. He realized how difficult it was for him to live in this family. "Brother Da Hua, when are you coming back? The brothers' tacit understanding is about to disappear."

Seeing Peng Peng's gloomy expression, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Then, everyone started to go back to their rooms to wash up, while Chen Qing went back to the old house next door to rest. The beds for the two male guests had to be reserved for them today.

After washing up, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu started a video chat, spending almost half an hour together before reluctantly hanging up.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in a hotel in southern Hunan, Da Xun and Yang Xiaomi, having finished filming "Back to Field," checked into the hotel to prepare for the recording of the "Escape Room" program the next day.

"I'm going back to my room to rest first. You should go to sleep early too!" Yang Xiaomi said to Da Xun beside her at the door of the room.

Watching Yang Xiaomi open the door with her room key, Da Xun mustered up his courage and invited, "Want to grab something to eat together?"

Yang Xiaomi initially wanted to refuse because she wouldn't eat anything at that time; it's not easy for female celebrities to maintain a good figure.

However, seeing the expression on Da Xun's face, she put down her luggage and nodded, "Okay! What do you want to eat? Shall we eat out?"

"I'll go downstairs and order some, then we'll eat upstairs." Da Xun pointed upwards with his right index finger.

This is the quietest and most comfortable time to go to the hotel's rooftop balcony. If you're lucky, you might even see some stars. In this atmosphere, you should be able to move around freely.

"Okay! Go down and order some things. I'll go in and wash up first. Let me know when you're done."

Yang Xiaomi didn't plan to go downstairs with Da Xun. After all, they were in a hotel, so they should avoid suspicion a little, even though she didn't mind being rumored to be dating him.

"Okay, then I'll put my luggage down and go downstairs."

Da Xun didn't want Yang Xiaomi to come down with him either. He had other things to arrange besides ordering food, and if Yang Xiaomi came with him, he wouldn't be able to do them.

After putting away his luggage, Da Xun went downstairs and ordered some dishes and red wine that Yang Xiaomi liked. Then he walked out of the hotel, got into the car at the door, and drove to his destination.

About half an hour later, Da Xun returned to the hotel, pushed the cart provided by the hotel back to his floor, and took the elevator with Yang Xiaomi, who had finished washing up, directly to the top floor.

"You even ordered red wine? Don't you not drink? You seem a bit strange, what are you up to?"

Yang Xiaomi was somewhat surprised to see Da Xun take out a glass of red wine. Having known this man for so long, she rarely saw him offer to drink; it was usually only for celebratory or significant occasions. Da Xun didn't immediately respond to Yang Xiaomi's curiosity, but instead handed her a glass of red wine, clinked glasses, and then downed it in one gulp.

Alcohol emboldens cowards. Even though I'm not a coward, a little alcohol can help me sober up and boost my courage.

Now Yang Xiaomi was completely certain that Da Xun had something to say, otherwise he wouldn't be drinking like this. Given his alcohol tolerance, he could only drink two glasses of red wine at most, and in the past, he would only politely sip a little.

After taking a small sip, Yang Xiaomi put down her glass and asked the man in front of her with concern, "What's wrong? Tell me what's wrong! Don't drink alone, it's bad for your health."

"Phew!" Da Xun took a deep breath, then reached under the food cart and pulled out the item. To Yang Xiaomi's astonishment, he knelt down on one knee. "I know I'm not the best, nor the most handsome or richest, but I will definitely be the one who loves you the most. Yang Xiaomi, will you be my girlfriend?"

Looking at the man kneeling on one knee, and at the flowers and necklace in his hand, Yang Xiaomi was still in a daze. She hadn't expected this man to confess his love so suddenly.

He couldn't even type a single word before, but today he's confessing his feelings like this? What happened to cause such a big change in him?

Although women are emotional when it comes to relationships, Yang Xiaomi was still very rational when facing Da Xun, seriously asking, "Is this a spur-of-the-moment decision or something you've thought about carefully? Relationships are not child's play."

"If you were just saying this on a whim, then I'll pretend I didn't hear you, and we can still be good friends like before."

“I’m serious.” Da Xun interrupted Yang Xiaomi. “This is something I’ve thought about carefully. Actually, I’ve liked you for a long time, but I used to feel that I wasn’t good enough for you. But this time, Xiao Chen told me that when it comes to love, you should pursue it without hesitation.”

"If a non-celebrity guest like him has the courage to pursue Zhao Xiaogu, then if I don't even have the courage to pursue the person I like, then I'm really too cowardly and not a real man."

I wonder what Da Xun would think if he knew that Chen Qing's live stream confession was because Zhao Xiaogu hinted at it so clearly that she practically dragged Chen Qing into it directly.

Moreover, Chen Qing dared to confess his feelings because he had the confidence to do so. If he wanted to become famous, all he had to do was write down the songs in his head, and his fame in the industry would be close enough, if not surpassing Zhao Xiaogu's.

Besides, he's a powerful figure with a system by his side. As long as he stays in the village and doesn't go out, he'll eventually be able to go up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Some people may say he is not good enough for Zhao Xiaogu, but sooner or later everyone will think that Zhao Xiaogu saved the world in her past life.

Yang Xiaomi stared at Da Xun for a long time, and just when Da Xun thought she would refuse, Yang Xiaomi finally made a move.

"I promise you, please take good care of me from now on, my boyfriend." Yang Xiaomi took the flowers from Da Xun's hand, and smiled slightly at Da Xun's dazed expression. "Silly boy, what are you standing there for? Help me put on the necklace!"

"Huh? Oh! Okay."

Once he came to his senses, Da Xun immediately got up, took out the necklace from the box, and put it around Yang Xiaomi's neck. Afterwards, the two drank red wine and ate delicious food on the rooftop. Of course, due to the breakthrough in their relationship, their physical contact also became intimate.

Da Xun finally did what he had always wanted to do but never dared to: he hugged and kissed Yang Xiaomi.
