In order to give Lu Yan a satisfactory birthday, Zhuang Yan wanted to use a lot of points to exchange for more money so that he could buy her a birthday present.

Therefore, he got up early the next morning to do his mission, and Fang Chen and Ling Xuan also got up early.

Zhuang Yan glanced at the task list and chose to help the villagers cut grass in the morning.

The three set off together. Fang Chen walked beside him and whispered, "Zhuang Yan, can I have a word with you alone?"

Ling Xuan glanced at the two of them furtively, then wisely walked in the opposite direction.

As soon as Ling Xuan left, Fang Chen said directly, "Zhuang Yan, I like An Xinrong."

Zhuang Yan looked at him and could tell, so what?

Seeing Zhuang Yan's calm expression, Fang Chen knew that he had no feelings for An Xinrong, which greatly relieved him.

"I hope you can stay away from her."

Zhuang Yan's expression was complicated, and he was speechless for a moment: "I don't think I'm that close to her either."

They only inevitably end up together when they're on missions. Besides, they all live under the same roof and see each other all the time. Asking him to stay away from An Xinrong is asking too much, isn't it? Does he expect to have a separate table for dinner?

Fang Chen said, "Then please don't try to fool her with your child psychology tricks anymore. She'll take it to heart. You should be able to sense that Xinrong is interested in you, right?"

Zhuang Yan frowned.

Who? Does An Xinrong have feelings for him?

Zhuang Yan usually didn't pay much attention to An Xinrong. After thinking back carefully, he realized that when they first met, she looked down on him and ignored him. Now, however, she listens to him very much, and even if he doesn't "praise" her, she will take the initiative to help him.

When Fang Chen said that An Xinrong liked him, his first reaction was that this "liking" was like a kindergarten child liking their teacher.

Fang Chen continued, "Since you don't like her, stay away from her and talk to her less. Our show is a dating reality show, and your every move and word will give her the wrong impression. If you're a man, be decisive and don't give her any hope."

Zhuang Yan thought Fang Chen's words made sense, and it seemed he should really be more careful in the future.

"I understand. I will be more careful in the future so that she won't misunderstand."

Seeing that Zhuang Yan agreed so quickly, Fang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and patted Zhuang Yan on the shoulder, like a good buddy.

"Zhuang Yan, I consider you my friend. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me, and I will definitely help if I can. I am so glad that I participated in this program and met Xinrong and all of you. I will treat Xinrong well, and I hope you can help me too."

"Who you like and who you pursue is your own business and has nothing to do with me. You don't need to tell me so much." Zhuang Yan didn't know much about Fang Chen. They hadn't had any arguments or conflicts during the few days they spent together filming the show. Perhaps due to his background and work, Fang Chen's personality was a bit dictatorial and autocratic, giving people a strange sense of superiority.

"Okay, I got it." Fang Chen suddenly thought of something and casually said, "Who do you like, Lu Yan or Jiang Ning? I can help you with some advice."

Zhuang Yan replied indifferently, "No need."

Zhuang Yan clearly didn't want to discuss this topic, and Fang Chen probably found him boring too, so they simply parted ways and went to do their own tasks.

Zhuang Yan cuts grass in the morning, helps out at the greenhouse in the late morning, cooks for the villagers at noon, herds sheep and hoes the fields in the afternoon, and herds ducks and feeds pigs in the evening. He doesn't go home until 8 p.m.

Three different photographers followed him, panting heavily, while he seemed to be able to do everything like a spinning top, leaving the viewers in the live stream completely dumbfounded.

Because of what happened yesterday, Zhuang Yan's fans have grown rapidly, and many people have come to watch his live stream. The number of viewers in his live stream has already exceeded 100 million, and the barrage is clean, with not a single person cursing. Everyone is full of admiration for him.

A bad attitude won't do. How many people have had their accounts banned and how many have received lawyer's letters since the incident? At first, netizens thought that the list released by Lawyer Song was just a hoax. After all, how long would it take to sue more than 1,000 people? But unexpectedly, only one day has passed and people have already gone to the police station.

Some people, seeing things go wrong, quickly delete their previous posts and issue apology letters, but they still can't avoid being sued. The law has taught them that they have to pay the price for their mistakes, and they shouldn't think that spreading rumors online will get them away with it.

More and more people are discovering Zhuang Yan's strengths: he's tall, handsome, and muscular; he's not a weakling or a clumsy guy; he's polite, and people in the village who know him greet him warmly when they meet him—something that hasn't been seen with other guests.

The more you learn about Zhuang Yan, the more you feel sorry for his past. Such a good person, but when he was six years old, his parents abandoned him to his elderly grandmother and neglected him. It wasn't until his grandmother died that they remembered this adopted son.

After finally getting home, he was still abused by his crazy mother, while his biological father watched coldly.

Zhuang Yan, who was raised by his grandmother, was so healthy and happy, yet he developed severe depression in just two years.

He met Xia Wan during his most difficult time, and initially thought it would be a story of redemption. However, Xia Wan always had another man in her heart, ran away from their engagement banquet, and even spread rumors after the engagement was called off, making Zhuang Yan the "villainous male supporting character" in this story.

Fortunately, the supporting male character stood up and became the male lead.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yan overcame every difficulty.

Fortunately, Zhuang Yan did not give up on himself.

Fortunately, someone stepped forward to debunk the rumors.

Fortunately, someone protected him, escorted him, and ensured his peaceful life.

At the end of the day, Zhuang Yan had redeemed 7,000 points, which was equivalent to 7,000 yuan.

The director originally thought that each person would earn at most two or three thousand, since dating in a place like this wouldn't cost much. Who knew that Zhuang Yan would earn seven thousand, more than Ling Xuan and Fang Chen combined.

The director emptied his pockets of cash and exchanged some with others to make up the difference before he could give it to Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan hadn't handled so much cash in a long time. "Director, could I have a cell phone instead?"

Want a phone? Dream on. Of course, the director won't give Zhuang Yan a phone, even if Zhuang Yan says he only wants it for mobile payments.

"Cash is convenient too. You made so much money today, are you really looking forward to your date tomorrow? Do you know who you're going on a date with tomorrow?"

"It should be Jiang Ning, right?" From the day he finished selling the goods and Jiang Ning received a date card, he knew that Jiang Ning would choose him.

The director, feigning mystery, said, "Well, you'll find out when you go tomorrow. This is the meeting address they gave you."

Zhuang Yan is working so hard to earn points to exchange for money for tomorrow's date, no wonder the director is suspicious; he's already looking forward to tomorrow's date.

Viewers in the live stream were also guessing in the chat.

[Zhuang Yan directly mentioned Jiang Ning; it would be awkward if the person he met tomorrow wasn't Jiang Ning.]

[Please don't break up my Lu Zhuang couple! I want to see Lu Yan and Zhuang Yan on a date.]

[I used to think Zhuang Yan wasn't good enough for Jiang Ning, but after seeing this today, Zhuang Yan worked from morning till night, earning 7,000 yuan in one go, which is much better than the other two. And most importantly, Jiang Ning likes Zhuang Yan, and the childhood sweetheart pairing is really appealing. Tomorrow's date might reveal their past.]
