"Teacher Gu, can you cook?"

The aloof and dignified man on the sofa raised his eyes: "You can give it a try."

Luo Shimiao deflated like a punctured balloon; he really couldn't do without Yi Ge.

Seeing Xiao Zhang sitting under the corridor, he smiled and ran over.

"Teacher Zhang." Luo Shimiao put on her professional fake smile.

"Teacher Luo, is...is something the matter?" Xiao Zhang subconsciously took a half step back.

Director Li said, "Cherish life, stay away from Luo Shimiao!"

Luo Shimiao smiled and continued to coax, "Can you cook noodles?"

"Yes," Xiao Zhang replied.

Luo Shimiao was delighted. He pointed to Director Li sitting not far away and said, "Our Director Li has worked hard, following us to town. He probably hasn't eaten anything since this morning. Go and cook some noodles. He's getting old and shouldn't go hungry."

Xiao Zhang looked at Luo Shimiao and asked, "Are you sure it's not that you're hungry and want to eat noodles?"

Director Li looked over and saw Luo Shimiao's shifty-eyed appearance, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Luo Shimiao, what are you up to now? You're full of bad ideas. Don't lead Xiao Zhang astray."

Luo Shimiao pouted, her eyes showing a hint of grievance: "Director Li, you misunderstood me. I saw that you hadn't eaten lunch and was worried that you would be hungry, so I asked Xiao Zhang to cook some noodles for you to eat."

"Really?" Director Li's eyes were filled with doubt; he didn't believe Luo Shimiao would be so kind.

"Really, you can ask Xiao Zhang if you don't believe me."

Under the intense gaze of the two men, Xiao Zhang nodded with difficulty.

Director Li waved his hand: "Go cook, the boxed lunches will be late today."

He was indeed hungry, and his stomach was aching slightly.

Luo Shimiao said to Xiao Zhang's back, "Since you're already cooking, cook the portions for me and Teacher Gu as well. Oh, and Jiang Xue and the others too."

Director Li narrowed his eyes. He'd been too hasty; so this was where he'd been waiting. He knew Luo Shimiao wouldn't be so kind. But the noodles were theirs; might as well eat them.

Finally, Luo Shimiao got to eat the noodles as she wished. Director Li was very unhappy to see Luo Shimiao's satisfied look.

"You want noodles but can't you cook them yourself? You're ordering my assistant around, are you going to pay him a salary?"

"Director Li, think before you speak. Who bought the noodles you're eating right now?" Luo Shimiao slumped onto the sofa.

"Hmph!" He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's money is bound to do his bidding.

Director Li dared not utter another word and muttered under his breath, "She has no manners at all. What kind of celebrity is she? Whoever signs her is doomed."

Luo Shimiao rolled her eyes: "Anyway, it wasn't you who signed it. You're no better than anyone else for talking bad about others."

Director Li looked up at Luo Shimiao in a daze. Did he hear that? He remembered that she had spoken very softly.

Seeing Director Li's surprised look, she raised an eyebrow: "My hearing is good, unlike some people who get old and gradually lose their five senses."

Director Li choked on a mouthful of noodles, his face turning red as he stabbed, "You...you."

Xiao Zhang quickly poured a glass of water: "Director, have some water, have some water, don't talk yet."

Luo Shimiao quickly made her escape, afraid that if she stayed any longer, the director would skin her alive.

Before leaving, she turned back to look at the man sitting in the corner, as quiet as a deity: "Teacher Gu, would you like to go see them together?"

“That’s fine too.” Gu Nian slowly stood up.

Feeling a cool breeze, Luo Shimiao looked up at the umbrella above her head and blinked, "Where did this umbrella come from?"

The man's thin lips curved slightly: "Borrowed."

Not far behind, Xiao Zhang looked at the two figures with resentment, thinking, "They just bully me."

Led by the staff, the two arrived at the location where they were to carry out their mission.

Under the scorching sun, four people wearing straw hats bent over harvesting rice in the field.

After cutting a few times and then resting, Luo Shimiao's lips twitched. At this rate, it would take forever to finish harvesting.

You can't blame them; they're all pampered and spoiled, and they've never done farm work before.

Huang Zongyi saw the two people on the country path, wiped the sweat from his eyes, and said, "You're back so soon."

"Well, I saw you hadn't gone back, so I came to check on you."

The field was about an acre in size. Huang Zongyi and Jiang Xue stood on one side, while Qiao Zhixi and Jin Hongxuan stood on the other side.

Two-thirds of the rice has already been harvested.

Jiang Xue stood up, supporting her back. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her face was slightly pale. She said breathlessly, "You only know how hard farmers work after experiencing it yourself."

Seeing the two of them looking "teetering on the edge," Luo Shimiao said, "I've cooked some noodles for you to eat back home. Leave the rest to me."

Huang Zongyi waved his hand, put one hand on his hip and said, "We'll finish harvesting soon, then we'll eat."

Jiang Xue chimed in, "Yes, that's about right."

Luo Shimiao rolled up his trousers and walked down into the field, snatched the sickles from their hands, and pushed them onto the path.

"Let's go, let's go. It's not like I'm telling you to go back and enjoy yourselves. I haven't eaten enough yet. I bought some groceries. You two go back and cook for me."

Gu Nian also spoke up, saying, "Let's go back. Shi Miao and I will cut the rest together."

Huang Zongyi and Jiang Xue exchanged a glance, sighed, and took off their straw hats, handing them to the two of them.

Huang Zongyi: "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and cook a meal for you when you come back. I'll teach you how to cut it."

Luo Shimiao waved his hand and said, "I'm familiar with this place. You guys should go back now."

Skilled? Luo Shimiao doesn't look like someone who knows how to do manual labor.

Jiang Xue helped Luo Shimiao put on her hat and reminded her, "The sickle is sharp, be careful."

"Okay, I understand. Go back now," Luo Shimiao urged.

Seeing that the two had finally left, Luo Shimiao breathed a sigh of relief. Older people are just so talkative.

Qiao Zhixi saw Huang Zongyi and Jiang Xue walking towards the road and was overjoyed. She shouted, "They're here to pick us up from work. Brother Hongxuan, let's go back too!"
