The longed-for village system

Chapter 48 Huang Shi's Misunderstanding

"Huh? No, I'm just a little sleepy." Zhao Xiaogu's pretty face flushed slightly. Seeing the chair that was already finished next to her, she quickly got up. "You didn't sleep all night, did you?! I told you there's no rush, no rush, why did you stay up all night to make it!"

Chen Qing appreciated Zhao Xiaogu's concern; it wasn't a waste of his time working overtime all night to finish it.

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

"How could I not be tired? I was busy with the concert all day yesterday, and I stayed up all night making things last night. Go back to your room and rest! We'll go back to the Mushroom House later."

Zhao Xiaogu urged Chen Qing to go back to the room to rest, just like a wife urging her husband who had worked all day to rest and take care of his health.

Chen Qing took out the phone Zhao Xiaogu had given him, glanced at the time, nodded, picked up the bed sheet, and went into the room. It was only a little past six o'clock, so he could still sleep for another three hours.

"Then I'll go inside and take a nap. Remember to call me if you need anything."

"Okay, go and get some rest! There shouldn't be anything important this morning."

Zhao Xiaogu thought everyone would sleep in this morning. Yesterday's intense rehearsals were anything but easy, and they didn't have any special tasks to complete today, so no one would get up early.

Huang Shi was exercising outside the gate when he heard voices talking inside the house. He pushed open the gate and peeked out, then realized he had discovered something extraordinary.

Zhao Xiaogu stood at the door in her pajamas, next to Xiao Chen, who was also in pajamas and holding a bed sheet. Both of their clothes were slightly disheveled, clearly indicating that they had just woken up.

A lone man and woman, sharing a bed sheet—if he still couldn't figure out what was going to happen, then this fortune teller would be a complete idiot.

"Wow, you two are quick on your feet! But as your friend, I still have to congratulate you. Remember to send us your wedding invitations when you get married."

Huang Shi didn't go inside, but continued to stand at the gate of the courtyard. He knew that Zhao Xiaogu must be embarrassed and shy because he had discovered her relationship with Xiao Chen.

Besides, I need to do my morning exercise, so I won't disturb the young couple's sweet nothings. As a teacher, how could I not have this much sense?

Seeing that Huang Shi misunderstood his relationship with Zhao Xiaogu, Chen Qing didn't say anything to explain. If anyone should speak up, it should be Zhao Xiaogu first, otherwise it would give the impression that he disliked Zhao Xiaogu.

Zhao Xiaogu, whether frowning or still troubled by the dream, didn't offer any explanation. The two of them stood there dumbfounded, watching Huang Shi jog away, finally exchanging a glance, neither knowing what to say.

Zhao Xiaogu could naturally see the doubt in the man's eyes. He was probably wondering why she didn't speak up to explain. But could she say that she didn't mind Huang Shi's misunderstanding of their relationship because of that dream?
Seeing the man staring at her, Zhao Xiaogu's fair face flushed slightly with shyness. She turned and ran out of the yard, telling Chen Qing, "I'm going back to the Mushroom House first. You can go inside and rest!"

Watching Zhao Xiaogu run out of the yard, Chen Qing vaguely smelled a pinkish, sour stench. Touching his nose, Chen Qing felt that the smell was quite nice, but unfortunately he couldn't leave the village now.

"The Pitfall System".

Chen Qing cursed the system as usual, then took the bed sheet and went into the room to rest. It would be a lie to say he wasn't tired after being busy for a day and a night. Smelling the scent of someone else on the bed sheet, he quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, inside the Mushroom House livestream room, Lao Wang and the two assistant directors were taken aback when they saw Zhao Xiaogu returning to the house from a side path in her pajamas.

"Old Wang, I'm not mistaken, am I? Did Zhao Xiaogu come from the neighboring yard? And she's still wearing her pajamas."

"Xiao Chen didn't seem to return to the Mushroom House yesterday either. Do you think they might..."

To be honest, Lao Wang was also very shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu would get together after only two days of getting to know each other. You know, Zhao Xiaogu is a pure and innocent actress who has never had any scandals since her debut.

Unbelievable! The two of them actually got together with the non-celebrity landlord on their show. Is this what they call love at first sight?

Although he was also very curious, Lao Wang knew the seriousness of the matter and that it absolutely could not be leaked from their production team. So he warned his two assistants, "You two should pretend you didn't see this. Even if their relationship is exposed later, it absolutely cannot be leaked from us. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Lao Wang, we're not newbies, we know a thing or two about this."

"That's right, we're only talking about this now because no outsiders are around. We don't usually talk about it. You know how tight-lipped we are."

Old Wang nodded in agreement with his two deputies. He knew their character after working together for so many years, and there wouldn't be any problems with them in this regard. The reason he had just given them instructions was because this matter was of utmost importance.
