A dark glint flashed in the village chief's murky eyes.

As a lecherous old man, of course he wanted to sleep with a girl as beautiful as a fairy, but...

“They’re all from the film crew, and I heard they have a lot of fans outside. If we force them to stay, and the fans cause a scene, then our village’s secret will be exposed.”

The village chief tapped his pipe and frowned, saying, "So we can't let ourselves be taken away by the police just because of a moment of lust."

This is a remote area, and the police hardly ever deal with it. But if things get out of hand and higher-ups send people over, then it's not up to him, the village chief, to make decisions.

"Village chief, why don't we stay here? We can tamper with the water a little and have some fun once everyone is dizzy."

Someone suggested, "Since we're done having fun, cleaning them up won't make us a suspect."

Film crews have come here to shoot scenes before, but not just anyone can be included in the village; only those that are good-looking are allowed in.

After all, the village is hiding secrets, and we can't let outsiders know about them.

The village chief thought about it and decided it was feasible, so he agreed.

"Remember, it's okay to play with women, but don't hurt them like last time. We had to force-feed them half-cooked green beans and pretend they were poisoned and passed out. What a hassle."

He frowned and reminded him.

"Village chief, don't worry, I promise I'll be careful this time and won't act as rudely as last time."

Someone guaranteed it.

"Everyone, go home. Get to know the crew better these next couple of days, then we'll find a chance to slip something into their water."

The village chief took a puff of his pipe. "The actresses who came this time are of high quality, so consider this extra compensation from the production crew."

This medicine is best taken late at night, so that when everyone falls asleep, they'll just think they're too tired and won't suspect that something was added to the water.

The villagers left the village chief's house happily.

On the film set.

"Wanwan, you've finally arrived."

Qiao Lingxi, dressed in ancient costume, ran over and gave Shu Mowan a big hug.

Although the two haven't met in person during this time, they've been chatting on WeChat and occasionally video chatting, and their friendship has progressed by leaps and bounds.

They started using more affectionate terms of address.

"You've lost some weight."

Shu Mowan pinched Qiao Lingxi's cheek and said.

Qiao Lingxi shook her head cutely, "There's no other way, it's to fit the role."

Her character in the drama needs to be thinner later on, so she has to lose weight.

"Wanwan, you have no idea how I've been trying to lose weight lately. I can only eat raw cucumbers every day, and occasionally I'll have a boiled egg with them. My mouth is so bland."

Qiao Lingxi was simply being coquettish and complaining.

"Since you've worked so hard, how about I treat you to braised fish today?"

Shu Mowan smiled.

Qiao Lingxi was so tempted by the delicious food that she swallowed hard, but remembering that her diet had only just begun to show results, she hesitated and said, "Wanwan, isn't this a bit too high in calories?"

A celebrity's slight weight gain on camera can be magnified many times over.

"It's okay, after you finish eating, I'll make you some tea to help with the grease, it won't make you fat."

Shu Mowan assured, "If you crave something sweet but are afraid of gaining weight, you can brew this tea. However, you can't drink this fat-reducing tea every day, or it will scrape away all your fat."

Qiao Lingxi's eyes widened. "Wanwan, you have such a good thing, why don't you take it out?"

Shu Mowan chuckled, "You didn't say you wanted to lose weight before."

After saying that, she took a small can of tea from her bag and gave it to Qiao Lingxi. "Just put in two leaves when you brew it. You can refill the water. Drink it once every three days. Remember, don't drink too much."

Qiao Lingxi nodded obediently, "Wanwan, are there any side effects?"

"Don't worry, I won't give you anything that's harmful to your health."

Shu Mowan said.

Qiao Lingxi looked at her with starry eyes.

"Wanwan, you're so wonderful, I'm starting to fall in love with you."

She hugged Shu Mowan and said.

The next second, she was forcibly separated by a pair of large hands.

Qiao Lingxi was a little angry, but when she looked into her boss Tingyu's unfathomable eyes, her anger immediately subsided, and she only muttered, "So stingy."

But she dared not be clingy with Shu Mowan anymore.

"Tingyu, can you stop being so stingy?"

Shu Lingyin crossed her arms and deliberately said to Si Tingyu, "If Lingxi likes to cling to Wanwan, so be it. There's nothing wrong with two girls. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"I can't help it, I'm just so jealous."

Si Tingyu made no attempt to hide his jealousy.

Shu Lingyin snorted dismissively.

"Lingxi, didn't you say there's a river here where the water is drinkable?"

Shu Mowan said.

"yes."

Qiao Lingxi became very interested when she mentioned the river. "Wanwan, let me tell you, the water in that river is extremely clear. It reflects the sunlight, and it tastes sweet when you drink it. The fish in it are all super big, and the villagers say that the meat is especially good."

"Let's go, I'll go catch some fish and cook it for you."

Shu Mowan said.

Qiao Lingxi smiled and said, "Wanwan, you're the best to me."

The two walked outside, and Si Tingyu and Shu Lingyin naturally followed.

"Wanwan, do you know how to cook fish?"

"It's barely edible."

Shu Mowan said, "But Brother Si cooks well, so we can have him cook for us."

Si Tingyu cooks?

Qiao Lingxi glanced at Si Tingyu furtively and whispered, "Wanwan, will he be willing?"

She wouldn't dare order this great Buddha to cook.

“If I ask, he will naturally agree.”

Shu Mowan said.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Lingxi immediately sensed something was amiss. Her eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice even further, "Wanwan, admit it honestly, are you two together?"
