Yan Sui was forced to work for the Space Bureau to survive. When she returned after completing her mission, she found herself acting as a sycophant to a top流量 actor (Top-tier Actor). As various sca...
Chapter 136 Can't you just quit the internet and live a quiet life?
Yan Sui led the two boys into the courtyard and called out the king from his den.
The next moment, Tong Yan saw the king's true face.
"The chickens you raise are quite different from those raised by ordinary people."
He was so handsome and imposing that he felt he looked somewhat familiar.
Yan Junming was already used to the presence of the two kings; his grandmother protected them closely, and their status in the family was higher than his.
“These chickens aren’t for eating; my grandma insists they’re phoenixes.”
Tong Yan frowned in thought, "Not bought?"
"No, my sister found them on the mountain. They're incredibly prolific. Once this brood hatches, this henhouse won't be big enough for them."
The newly built chicken coop by Yan Sui was right next to the cowshed. It was also uniquely designed, a colorful wooden house, with the wooden fence next to it also painted in rainbow colors.
The cattle pen was several times larger than the chicken coop, and two rows of unfinished mushroom houses stood there.
One of the slightly larger two-story wooden cabins is the experiential room that Yan Sui plans to use to make honey milk soap.
Tong Yan held the king in her arms, moving very gently and not daring to use much force.
Fortunately, the king was very obedient and did not struggle; he just stared at the nest of eggs that Yan Junming was holding.
In comparison, Yan Junming was under much more pressure than him.
They led the king and the young king into the new chicken coop, while Yan Sui strolled around the neighborhood.
Both the king and the prince have become spoiled and never peck at the flowers and plants in the yard. Planting some climbing plants along these fences would be a good idea.
"Miss Yan, is the King and Queen's new chicken coop ready?"
When Yan Sui turned around, she saw Qu Jiang and Fu Yansheng.
"Just finished, we're moving them to their new home today."
Qujiang: "Why didn't you ask us for help?"
Yan Sui chatted with them through the fence, looking surprised: "What's going on? Is Mr. Qu coming over for the King and Queen's housewarming party?"
Qu Jiang choked, "Isn't this just creating an opportunity for Fu Yansheng?"
He glanced at Fu Yansheng beside him, who was really worried sick about him.
At this moment, Tong Yan came out from inside.
"Sister, I have settled the King in."
Yan Junming was shocked to see his worthless smile.
Is this still the same aloof and academically gifted student from school?
Yan Sui smiled in response, "Thank you."
Tong Yan pressed on, working with boundless enthusiasm.
"Sister, is there anything else I can help you with? I'm young, I can handle all the trouble."
Qu Jiang: "...Miss Yan, who is this child?"
Tong Yan smiled slightly and introduced herself: "Uncles, I am Junming's classmate. I'm here to stay at my sister's house for a few days."
Qu Jiang, who was called "uncle" by high school students, felt as if a cold arrow was piercing his heart.
He glanced at Fu Yansheng secretly. See? The competitors are getting younger and younger.
The word "uncle" also made Yan Sui laugh.
"Please don't mind, it's just a form of address."
Fu Yansheng remained calm and said in a low voice, "I don't mind. As an elder, I naturally won't hold it against a child."
Tong Yan's face stiffened. Hearing him treat her like a child made her inexplicably unhappy.
Yan Sui, oblivious to the tension between them, smiled and asked Fu Yansheng if he was free.
"Didn't you order 100 jin of peaches from me? Mr. Fu, would you like to pick them yourself?"
Qu Jiang volunteered: "I'll help too. Working in Miss Yan's orchard is a real pleasure."
Yan Junming was a lazybones and wanted to find an excuse to go home and play video games.
Unexpectedly, Tong Yan spoke first: "Junming and I will go together too."
Yan Junming: "?" Are you sick?
Yan Sui then led the four of them back to ride their electric scooters.
Fu Yansheng, familiar with the place, took the seat next to her.
"They are young and can walk."
Qujiang: "...And me?"
Fu Yansheng: "With them here, I wouldn't dare trouble President Qu."
Yan Sui suddenly remembered that Qu Jiang had previously donated money to the village to repair roads, so she dared not enslave him.
"Mr. Fu is right. Mr. Qu, you should go back first. I'll send you twenty catties of peaches later."
Qujiang was overjoyed; such a wonderful thing had happened!
"Thank you very much, Miss Yan. If there are any projects in Changqing Village in the future, please let me know as soon as possible. I don't have much, but I have plenty of money!"
Qu Jiang chuckled to himself. Anyway, it didn't cost him any money, and he could still use his name—a win-win situation.
Fu Yansheng glanced at him with a deep look in her eyes.
Qu Jiang shrank back, slipped away, and ran off immediately.
Yan Sui turned the key and looked back at Tong Yan.
"Can you walk? It's not very far."
Tong Yan forced a stiff smile. "Okay."
Yan Sui said no more and rode away on her tricycle.
It was already mid-June, and the weather was getting warmer. Yan Sui soon broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
As soon as you approach the orchard, you can smell the refreshing fragrance of peaches.
Qu Jiang's words were not an exaggeration at all; working in this orchard is a pleasure.
"Put the peaches in a foam net bag first, then pick them, like this," Yan Sui demonstrated for him.
This is to prevent the peaches from getting bruised.
Bruised peaches not only affect their taste and texture, but also spoil more easily.
"Has Mr. Fu learned it?"
Yan Sui received no response and turned around in surprise, but he was too close and she accidentally bumped into his arms.
Through a thin layer of fabric, Yan Sui could clearly feel the powerful and strong pectoral muscles.
It's warm and comforting, but it would be even better without this layer of cumbersome fabric.
Yan Sui suppressed the urge to explore the abdominal muscles further down and was about to pull away when the man in front of her firmly locked her arm.
"What is Mr. Fu doing?" She tilted her head, her pure eyes resembling those of a fox.
"Miss Yan seems to have a bit too many bees around her."
Yan Sui tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, slowly twirled around, and said with an innocent expression:
"Wasn't it Mr. Fu who suggested I find a young man? I always listen to advice."
The man chuckled lightly, "So, I owe Miss Yan a compliment?"
Yan Sui pouted, "No need for praise, it's just a bit sour, Mr. Fu, please tone it down a bit."
She curled her lips into a soft hum, then slightly tightened her grip on her palm, creating distance between herself and him.
Just then, Tong Yan and Yan Junming arrived, and she demonstrated to them how to pick peaches.
Yan Junming said absentmindedly, "Sis, can I have two first? They smell so good."
Yan Sui coldly refused: "No, get back to work!"
Tong Yan patted his shoulder, striking a sensible pose.
“We haven’t even started the work yet, how can you be thinking about food first? You and I are the only young and strong people here, you can’t expect this Uncle Fu to help you, that would be too disrespectful to the elderly.”
Yan Junming: "You're acting strangely today."
Tong Yan blinked. "Really? Respecting the elderly and caring for the young are traditional virtues."
Yan Junming rolled her eyes at him and prepared to get started.
For him, working here was a true test of his willpower.
He could only bury himself in his work and try to distract himself.
Fu Yansheng is not a talkative person, but he is very focused when he is working.
Compared to the two of them, Tong Yan seemed much more lively.
"Sister, is this how it is?"
"Sister, the peaches you grow are really good."
"Sister, are you hot? I brought you some water."
"elder sister……"
Yan Sui couldn't help but recall the introduction Yan Junming gave to Tong Yan before he arrived.
"He is an excellent student, but he is introverted and doesn't like to talk. I am his only good friend."
She glanced at Tong Yan without saying a word; he was far from the "introverted" person Yan Junming had mentioned.
A ringing phone interrupted Tong Yan's words, allowing Yan Sui to catch her breath. She took her phone and walked to the side.
She looked somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Zou Shuangyun to contact her.
When the call connected, both parties remained silent.
Yan Sui hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Auntie."
Zou Shuangyun didn't argue with her about the way she addressed her, but her voice sounded a little tired: "Yan Sui, you should have heard that Yan Mo is going to marry Fu Qingci despite our objections."
"Hmm." Yan Sui frowned, looking puzzled.
This matter has nothing to do with her.
“This child didn’t grow up with us and has suffered a lot. She’s sensitive and easily angered. Her father and I analyzed it for a long time, and we concluded that the root of many of the things she does lies with you.”
Yan Mo cared too much about Yan Sui, to the point that she did many irrational things.
However, Yan Sui found these words amusing.
"You wouldn't say that she's trying to make things difficult for me because she's fallen in love with me, would you?"
Zou Shuangyun paused, "Of course not, but as long as you don't show up..."
"So, just because she doesn't like me, should I die? Like my father?" Yan Sui's tone turned cold.
Zou Shuangyun sighed softly, not at all surprised that she would be angry.
"Can't you just quit the internet and live a quiet life? Your reputation online isn't very good, and being active online all the time isn't good for you. Yan Mo promised that as long as you behave yourself, she won't target you anymore. If it's for money, I can give you another 20 million for your father's sake."
"If it weren't for my father's sake, do you think I would have let Yan Mo spread rumors so recklessly? Outsiders may not know why I was adopted by the Yan family, but don't you know?"
Zou Shuangyun took a deep breath. "It seems you're unwilling."
Yan Sui scoffed, "Would you be willing to do that?"
If you don't see eye to eye, even half a sentence is too much.
Before hanging up the phone, she kindly reminded Zou Shuangyun of a couple of things.
"You're trying to please Fu Yansheng on one hand, while secretly betting on Fu Qingci on the other. This two-pronged approach is utterly foolish. Everyone says Fu Yansheng is incredibly intelligent, almost supernatural. Do you think he can't see through your little schemes?"
"As for Fu Qingci, he's an idiot. Putting aside the fact that his position is illegitimate, even if the Fu family acknowledges him, do you really expect such a brainless freak to support Changjing?"
This time, she didn't hear Zou Shuangyun's voice again, but Yan Mo screamed.
"Yan Sui, who are you calling a jerk?!"
Yan Sui clicked her tongue, "I'm insulting you. You're not only an idiot, but a blind idiot. If you get together with Fu Qingci, you'll have a little idiot in the future, and the whole family will be idiots!"
