Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 71 Getaway

It was August.

The summer heat is intense.

Meng Bai and Su Xintang, dressed in matching white T-shirts and black athletic shorts, walked among the rice paddies not far from the filming location, seemingly oblivious to the heat.

The dirt path was uneven.

The two strolled leisurely and calmly.

As he walked, Meng Bai ran his hand across the rice stalks beside him and said, "I hated rice paddies when I was a child, especially during harvest time."

"Why? Isn't a good harvest good?"

"I was young then, and I didn't care about whether the harvest was good or bad. My family's income came from contracting rice paddies, so every summer vacation, while other students were playing, I had to do farm work."

In the past, rice had to be dried before it could be sold after harvesting. Drying rice was hot, dirty, and itchy. In the summer, there were many thunderstorms, so when it rained, the rice had to be harvested in a hurry, and then spread out to dry when the weather cleared up.

This was very painful for me when I was a child, but it got much better as I grew up.” Meng Bai told Su Xintang about his family situation for the first time in a serious manner.

What I told her when we first met was all made up based on the "Memorial to the Throne".

Su Xintang smiled and asked, "Have you contacted your mother recently?"

"I made a phone call the day before yesterday and transferred some money back to her. I didn't dare to transfer too much, just 30,000 yuan. But she didn't want it. She told me to keep it and not to spend it recklessly, and to save it for getting married."

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang immediately reached out and fiddled with the rice, avoiding eye contact with Meng Bai.

The shyness that came from saying things like "I'm happy when I see you" during the height of their affection came back to haunt them at this moment.

Meng Bai reached out and took her hand, continuing, "When I make money and send it back, my mom will be overjoyed, but she won't show it in front of me."

"Then who is she performing with?"

"When I talk to my neighbors, relatives and friends, I tell them that what she needs most is the spiritual joy that comes from the fact that I have made money, rather than material things. Her son has become successful."

Let me tell you, my mom is such a funny person. She's always complaining about being tired, but she can't stop for a moment. Even though it's the off-season for farming, and I thought she could take a break, she wouldn't. She insisted on learning to grow flowers from my uncle, and every single one she planted died.

Meng Bai laughed as he spoke, then added, "Who would have thought that an old farmer who has contracted land for over twenty years wouldn't be able to cultivate it properly..."

"What don't you understand?" Su Xintang looked at him in confusion. Why did he pause in the middle of his sentence?

"Where are the flowers?" Meng Bai then added two words.

"Are you alright?" Su Xintang suddenly felt that Meng Bai's condition was a bit off.

"It's nothing." Meng Bai shook his head, somewhat puzzled, then said inexplicably, "Zhao Yazhi won't refund the money once she's taken it. Doesn't that hurt your wallet?"

“I developed the habit of being frugal in Hegu. I won’t really feel like I can’t move an inch because I don’t have money from Earth, especially after I’ve been here for more than ten days,” Su Xintang said earnestly.

“Yes, you’ve been here for over ten days now. You should know your own abilities and understand how special you are on Earth. Why would you really care so much about money?” Meng Bai nodded, his expression becoming increasingly strange.

Su Xintang understood.

Do you understand it yourself?
My mother's more than 20 years of farming experience doesn't work when it comes to growing flowers.

As for myself, do I have more than 20 years of life experience that I can apply to my current situation?

Was it meaningful for me to leave Xintang here and do those fundraising things on my own?

He let go of Su Xintang's hand and walked forward in a daze.

Su Xintang hurriedly followed, asking worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Meng Bai waved his hand, his whole demeanor was extremely off.

Su Xintang panicked and hurriedly said, "I suddenly feel that it's okay if the script isn't changed."

Meng Bai nodded instinctively, and said as he slowly walked forward, "Let's shoot two versions. In one version, we'll have my childhood sweetheart take me to fight the toad demon. My magic weapon is a pair of fire tongs."

When we were kids, we used this to catch toads; another version has Bai Suzhen giving you the sword. Our first video ends with you trying your best but failing to defeat the toad demon, let's see the effect.

If it performs well online, then we'll use my version as the second episode; if it doesn't perform well online, we've already spent the money, so we'll continue using Zhao Yazhi's version.

The logic of the plan was very clear, but Su Xintang could clearly sense that Meng Bai hadn't thought things through when he said those words.

In other words, coming up with this two-pronged approach was entirely instinctive of his.

his heart,
It's not here at all.

"Meng Bai." Su Xintang reached out to grab Meng Bai.

But to her surprise, she found that when she reached out, she couldn't reach Meng Bai.

Not only that, no matter how hard he tried to catch up, he seemed unable to keep up with Meng Bai's pace, even though Meng Bai was walking very, very slowly.

"What did you tell me you were watching last night?"

"Oh, the 'Nanhua Zhenjing' is the 'Zhuangzi'. I studied the first chapter of the inner chapters, 'Xiaoyao You', when I was in school."

"Meng Bai? What's wrong with you!" "I can still recite it. In the Northern Sea there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so big that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is; it transforms into a bird, its name is Peng..." Meng Bai murmured.

But a voice suddenly interrupted Meng Bai: "Idiot! Read more books! 'Free and Easy Wandering' is about astronomy, and 'There is a Fish in the Northern Sea' refers to the Vermilion Bird constellation slowly rising from the horizon..."

"Who's talking?!" Su Xintang suddenly looked around.

No one answered her. More voices entered her mind, and these voices all sounded like Meng Bai's voice, yet they weren't Meng Bai's voice.

Who says "Free and Easy Wandering" is about astronomy? It's clearly about...

【Every time I see this kind of scene, I feel nauseous. You think you can achieve enlightenment just by being hugged? Do you think you look cool when you're enlightened? You can't even distinguish between your large and small intestines, yet you claim to be enlightened. It's so abrupt, so disgusting. Get lost!】

Su Xintang was confused. Who was speaking?

She was somewhat frightened: "Meng Bai, don't scare me."

As she spoke, she saw her butterfly fly out uncontrollably again, heading towards Meng Bai, fluttering its wings excitedly around him.

Objects in the field of vision began to distort.

Su Xintang discovered that she had somehow ended up at He Gu's house.

There is a box on the table.

His younger sister, Yu Xuanchen, was peering over the box.

Inside the box, Meng Bai's ghost huddled in a corner, staring intently at Yu Xuanchen.

“This is…” Su Xintang murmured to herself, then slowly turned her head to look outside. Outside, there was a figure holding a small hammer, hitting the magical helmet.

"The scene of your first meeting with him?"

Before I could think any further, the scene changed again, this time showing the two of them in the subway.

then……

Outside the subway station.

Downstairs of the company.

Inside the rental house.

On Phoenix Mountain.

Purple Lotus Island

Inside the Divine Palace.

maritime.

Grandma's house.

"These are all places we went together?" Su Xintang became increasingly puzzled. She looked around, trying to find Meng Bai's figure.

But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find Meng Bai.

To be precise, it's that she can't see "Meng Bai, the bystander" like herself.

Changes are ongoing.

This scene was completely unfamiliar to Su Xintang, but she could roughly guess where she was, since Ning Meng was here, so this was most likely Ning Meng's home.

"He must think he's incredibly clever, strategizing and talking about this top-tier rich women's club."

A voice suddenly appeared.

Su Xintang turned her head abruptly and stammered, "Meng Bai?"

No, it's Meng Bai, but it's not Meng Bai either.

His face kept changing, and even his voice kept changing. Just that one sentence he uttered involved several different voices, including those of men, women, young and old.

"What an idiot! If I were him, I'd be cultivating immortality by now, even more superhuman than Superman! Why bother with all this? I'd just go straight to the government for cooperation, they'd have to treat me like royalty, hahaha..."

“I think it’s fine. They don’t have much money to begin with. They’re making money so they can have a better debut in the future. Only by debuting can they have a lineage.”

"What kind of stupid thinking is this? You can't make money, yet you're still selling cosmetics here, dealing with a bunch of old women. What's the point of doing this? No wonder you couldn't accomplish anything before. You have no future in this world."

"Yes, yes, you've done a good job. Su Xintang is right here. Take her away and I'll see if you can pull it off."

"I don't talk to stupid dogs. You can't even pretend to be cool anymore. Your life is utterly boring, you're trash."

As Meng Bai's face kept changing, his words were sometimes arrogant, sometimes crazy, sometimes masculine, sometimes feminine, sometimes righteous, sometimes wicked, Su Xintang's expression became more and more incredulous.

She finally realized what was going on.

Looking at Meng Bai, she stammered in horror, "The Great Calamity of the Gods, the Mystery of All Living Beings?! How could it have happened so quickly in such a short time?"
