Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.
Chapter 23 What kind of rural love story is this?
While Shi Wanmeng and Huang Chen were working hard and picking half a basket of oranges, Bai Zhu and Su Muqing arrived at the neighboring field.
Su Muqing was the first to spot the two people under the orange tree. She excitedly waved in their direction and exclaimed, "Wanmeng, I finally ran into you! Wow, you guys are so fast! You've already picked so many!" Turning back to look at Bai Zhu, who was still wearing a hat and a face mask, she urged, "Hurry up, we need to hurry too."
Shi Wanmeng looked at their attire and asked curiously, "Are you here to dig sweet potatoes?"
Bai Zhu finally finished his sun protection. He had just signed a sunscreen endorsement deal, and he didn't want to get tanned before the official announcement. Hearing Shi Wanmeng's question, he turned his head with some difficulty and whispered gossip, "Yeah, we chose to dig sweet potatoes, and Li Zhao and the others who came after us went to pick corn. I heard Zhou Ran went to catch geese, did you know?"
Shi Wanmeng was very surprised. Even Huang Chen, who had been working non-stop, came over: "Really? They came with us. They clearly had other options."
Su Muqing nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "It should be right. We just saw Yuan Xin standing next to the fence against a wooden door. We didn't see Zhou Ran, but we heard geese calling from the other side of the door, so he's probably inside."
Shi Wanmeng and Huang Chen were speechless. Why would someone create difficulties for themselves when there were none?
Just then, Gu Ling's scream came from a field not far away: "Aaaaaah, how come there are big bugs here? It's disgusting, I can't take it!!!" Then chaos ensued.
The group exchanged glances without speaking, then silently picked up their tools and began working.
[Hahahaha, you guys!!!]
[Sorry, I have to go now. It seems like the live stream over there is more interesting.]
[Gu Ling really looks like a pampered young lady. Isn't it normal for there to be bugs in the ground?]
I heard her family is well-off and has a powerful background. She didn't seem very happy when I entered the room; I guess she was quite disgusted.
Isn't it normal for a little girl like Gu Ling to be afraid of bugs?
[It's normal for someone who grew up in Ancient Spirit City to be having trouble adjusting to the village. Please don't be too malicious!]
[Stop arguing! If you like quirky girls, just go next door. Don't disturb everyone's view of handsome men and beautiful women doing farm work!]
The live chat erupted in a storm of comments because of Gu Ling's scream, but the atmosphere on set was quite harmonious. Everyone tacitly sped up their typing, trying to escape the sunlight.
When Wanmeng and Huang Chen were carrying two baskets of oranges, supporting their backs, to ask the old man at the village entrance for a car, they passed the fence that Su Muqing and the others had mentioned and saw Yuan Xin still standing there, but with a few more cages at her feet.
Shi Wanmeng called out to her, asking how things were going. Yuan Xin shook her head with a wry smile: "I've caught about six or seven." She had been standing by the door watching inside. Zhou Ran was chasing a goose, with a flock of geese chasing after him. The way he was being pecked and falling over by the geese was hilarious if he weren't her teammate.
Huang Chen stepped forward to take a look at the situation inside and couldn't help but say, "Should we ask that auntie if she has any tips for catching geese?"
Yuan Xin also felt that this couldn't go on, and looked down at the cage at her feet, hesitating for a moment.
Seemingly sensing her worry, Shi Wanmeng offered, "Let's rest here for a bit and keep an eye on things for you. You should go and come back quickly."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xin understood that Shi Wanmeng's so-called rest was actually to help her. She smiled gratefully at Shi Wanmeng and Huang Chen, and ran towards the aunt who had assigned the task.
My daughter is such a little angel, kisses!
I didn't know her very well at first, but I didn't expect Shi Wanmeng to be so beautiful and kind-hearted.
[Huang Chen is so kind, proactively helping them find solutions. This Huang Chen/Shit CP is just...]
[My daughter and son-in-law are a perfect match; this old mother is overjoyed.]
Zhou Ran's embarrassing goose-catching antics had already been edited and uploaded to Weibo. Due to the stark contrast and humor with his usual image, it quickly became a trending topic, attracting a large number of passersby to watch the spectacle. Inside the fence, Zhou Ran was so exhausted that he was leaning against the railing, panting heavily. His pants were covered in mud and stains, and there were a few tufts of goose feathers on his head. He looked quite disheveled.
Many viewers in the live stream were casual viewers who had come in after seeing the trending topic. Zhou Ran's fans were heartbroken to see their idol like this and started complaining in the chat.
We were supposed to be doing a mission together, but my teammate didn't help at all. Who knows what will happen then? Haha.
I really don't want to encounter a colleague like this in the workplace—someone who just watches but doesn't do any work; it's infuriating!
Oh my god, Zhou Ran is so pitiful, he's so dedicated!
[Yuan Xin's actions are a bit excessive. Does she think 208 won't do any hard work at all?]
As even bystanders unaware of the truth began to sympathize with Zhou Ran, the tone of the live stream chat started to veer off course, and Yuan Xin's fans began to get anxious.
Who insisted on doing this task? They're clearly just being stubborn.
Zhou Ran refused to do any physical labor and insisted on catching geese against his teammates' wishes. Isn't this all his own fault?
Go check out the other live stream yourself. Yuan Xin is already looking for a solution. Stop throwing accusations around.
[If someone clearly can't do something but insists on showing off, who can they blame? I don't want to have colleagues like that in the workplace.]
Fans from both sides were exchanging friendly messages in the live chat. Yuan Xin returned, panting heavily, looking like she had run quite fast. Seeing Shi Wanmeng and Huang Chen still waiting, Yuan Xin thanked them repeatedly.
Shi Wanmeng stepped forward, patted her on the back, and asked softly, "How was it? Did Auntie teach you the method?"
Yuan Xin took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, Auntie did mention some techniques."
"That's good," Shi Wanmeng smiled sincerely, "Go and tell Zhou Ran, we'll be going now."
Shi Wanmeng waved her hand, and together with Huang Chen, they picked up the baskets and walked towards the old man at the village entrance.
Guided by the old man, they saw a row of electric tricycles parked neatly on the ground.
Shi Wanmeng: ...
Huang Chen: ...
Shi Wanmeng turned to look at Huang Chen. Although he was dressed casually and his clothes were a little dirty, it couldn't hide his inherent air of nobility. After hesitating for a moment, Shi Wanmeng still asked, "Can you drive?"
Huang Chen: "...Give it a try?"
The two of them worked together to lift the two baskets of oranges onto the car. Shi Wanmeng obediently sat in the back "convertible" compartment to keep the oranges company. Huang Chen looked around the car for a while, then confidently and gracefully sat in the front seat, squeezed the door handle, and a loud "Reversing, please be careful" broke the silence.
Shi Wanmeng in the back row: ...
Huang Chen in the front seat: ...
[Hahahaha, I can't take it anymore, it's too funny!]
Look at Huang Chen's expression, it's hilarious!
What kind of rural romance story am I watching, haha?
[Rebirth: A Couple Goes to the Countryside to Farm]
Huang Chen probably hasn't been this embarrassed in his life.
