The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

"You—ah—" In a panic, he was dragged to the west and forced to drink several mouthfuls of water.

Jia Dazhu will never forget that day.

He was soaking wet as a woman with the strength of an ox was tossing him around.

Even his prized belt was taken away by the woman, who whipped him dozens of times.

Without the belt to restrain him, he ran away crying, his bare legs and ripped underwear exposed.

Seeing Jia Dazhu in such a miserable state.

The people of Mingyuan Village were even more wary of Su Ran.

This resentment towards Su Ran has always been deeply buried in his heart.

It wasn't until two months after Su Ran and the others arrived that this happened.

It was the eve of the Lunar New Year, and the impoverished Mingyuan Village was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, as if it were about to hold some great celebration.

Gao Zhiyuan endured two months, hoping that someone would come to pick her up, but she waited from morning till night, and no one from outside Mingyuan Village came.

They panicked.

"Director Han, are you there?"

They called out to the unseen camera, but this time they never heard Director Han's voice again.

The commotion continued until dawn the next day.

"Come out quickly, it's Chinese New Year, we've prepared a meal for you."

Someone outside was shouting enthusiastically.

Gao Zhiyuan thought that perhaps Director Han's crew was moving slowly, so it wouldn't be too late to eat something first before leaving.

So he opened the door.

Gao Zhiyuan wasn't the only one panicking; Lu Qiuyi and her group were too.

She found An Yecheng, wanting to ask him if he knew the inside story.

Yes, An Yecheng and Gu Cai are still here.

Just as the villagers were subtly trying to drive them away, An Yecheng pulled out a box of gold bars, dazzling the villagers of Mingyuan Village, and declared that he wanted to pursue one of the guests.

He didn't explicitly say who it was, so Lu Qiuyi naturally assumed that he was pursuing her.

Since Lu Xiaoyan has left, it couldn't possibly be her. As everyone knows, Li Xiaoqing likes Gao Zhiyuan, and Lan Yue is seven or eight years older than An Yecheng.

As for the ghostly sounds...

A woman whose face cannot be seen.

From a fan's perspective, it can be used for worship.

But what man would fall in love with someone who always wears a veil?

She knew men very well; they were all attracted to looks.

So she would run to An Yecheng's place every few days.

Each time, An Yecheng would refuse with a cold face. She thought that maybe he was just not good at expressing himself, and that he would be fine once the live camera left.

"Chairman An," Lu Qiuyi rushed in anxiously, "You must be able to contact Director Han here, right? Did he leave any message?"

An Yecheng ignored her, or rather, he found her annoying.

"Can you please stop coming to see me?"

“No, Chairman An, I know you’re not good at expressing yourself, but that’s okay. You just need to stand here and wait for me to come over.” Lu Qiuyi’s eyes were full of eagerness.

She was actually a little self-deceiving, but this was the chairman of Yu Ran Entertainment, someone she had never been able to reach before. Once she became Mrs. An, what resources couldn't she get?

Even if he doesn't like her now, it doesn't mean he won't like her in the future.

"Brother Yecheng, I'm leaving now." Gu Cai smiled slyly.

"wait for me."

"Let's not wait for Brother Ye Cheng. Why don't you talk to Miss Lu first?"

"I'm leaving too, Miss Lu. Please have some self-respect."

Because of that box of gold bars, they lived very well in Mingyuan Village. They received meals every day and hot water was provided.

Gu Cai and An Yecheng would secretly pack rice and other staple foods and deliver them to Su Ran every time.

Although Su Ran is very capable and can find a lot of mountain delicacies, she has no way to get rice, a plant that takes half a year to grow, so she can only use kudzu root powder as her staple food.

When Gu Cai brought it over, she didn't refuse it; why bother with food?

Just as Gu Cai and An Yecheng arrived, a kind-looking middle-aged woman knocked on the door, carrying food in her hands.

"Ghost Voice Girl, open the door! It's almost New Year's, so I've brought you some food. It's not easy living here for the past few months. I made pork belly today, so you can have a nice meal."

A cold voice came from inside the door.

"No, please leave."

The middle-aged woman's kind expression faltered for a moment, then she continued gently:

“I know you’re in a bad mood because no one is here to pick you up, but you still need to eat. I’ve been through this before, so take my advice: food is essential for life. You need to eat and drink your fill before you can get going.”

"I don't want to hit the road yet."

"what?"

“I said I don’t want to walk the path you’ve paved.”

The door opened, revealing Su Ran's tall and straight figure.

She glanced down at what the older woman was holding, then looked up at her.

"Auntie, please keep this food for yourself. I am not worthy of it."

"Young lady, what do you mean by that? Are you worried that I, your old woman, will poison your food?" the older woman said, displeased.

Then Su Ran stared straight at her.

"Auntie, do you remember your name?"

"You're interested in my name, little girl? Everyone calls me Jia Meigu."

"No, no, no, you should be called Dong Huijia. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

The older woman, Dong Huijia, narrowed her eyes and stood motionless.

"How did you know?" she exclaimed in shock.

"After being imprisoned for decades, have you come to regard Mingyuan Village as your home?" Su Ran said sarcastically.

Dong Huijia remained silent, then turned and left with the special meal.

"Ghostly voice!" Gu Cai shouted.

He ran over full of energy, but when his eyes fell on Xiao Bao, who was several heads shorter than him, his cheerful expression immediately turned dejected.

"You gave this little guy the down jacket I gave you?"

“It’s worth the price; they need it more than I do.”

"But I brought this especially for you."

In short, the live stream chat was packed with comments.

Oh my, I brought this especially for you.

[I knew Gu Cai was something else. He comes over every day bringing this and that, and even though Gui Yin doesn't appreciate it, he's still all smiles. It's obvious he likes her.]

The fallen flowers are sentimental, but the water is indifferent.

[After watching Su Ran's carefree life of traveling through mountains and valleys for two months, it should be over by now, right? Why hasn't the director reacted yet?]

I saw that Director Han issued a notice; it's postponed for a month.

[Why does it seem like none of the guests know?]

That bastard Director Han did it on purpose.

Seeing Gu Cai's dejected expression, An Yecheng smiled.

He didn't say anything, but took the initiative to help Su Ran sort out the earthworms she had just dug up, tying them to a wooden stick with a thin rope made of plant fiber.

Where should we go fishing today?

"West side."

"How long will it take?"

"One hour."

"I will go with you."

"Need not."

Su Ran's words were brief, and her refusal was quite obvious.

An Yecheng smiled and said, "Then I'll look after the house for you."

She refused, but he was affectionate.

He approached her slowly in a way she could accept.

Just like what Lu Qiuyi said this morning, she only needs to stand there, and he can walk the path in the middle.

Just then, a clanging sound came from outside the door.

It's like someone is screwing in a screw.

"Ghostly voice, someone has nailed the door shut!" Lan Yue said hurriedly.
