The next day, Shi Jing got up very early. Some of the farm workers were already up, but Qi Shuang and the others were still resting.
That's normal. Shi Jing went to sleep after finishing her work yesterday, but judging from the situation, Qi Shuang and the others were playing quite late.
She jogged along the farm path, breathing in the fresh morning air, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
We occasionally encountered farm workers along the way, and would greet them from time to time.
After finishing my workout and getting back, it was only seven o'clock.
As she passed the dining area, she saw that the farm manager was already busy early in the morning.
The farm manager, named Lu En, had just finished giving instructions when he looked up and saw Shi Jing looking over. A bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Oh, Shi, good morning."
Good morning, Mr. Run.
Lu En noticed Shi Jing's sportswear and asked, "Are you back from your workout?"
"Yes, the air was so fresh this morning that I couldn't resist running a little longer."
Lu En smiled and said, "Indeed. We have already prepared breakfast, which can be enjoyed at any time."
"Okay, I'll change my clothes and come right away."
Shi Jing and Lu En nodded in acknowledgment and quickly jogged back to the second floor.
The corridor on the second floor was still quite quiet, and no one seemed to be waking up yet. Shi Jing tiptoed back to her room.
She ran for quite a while today and sweated a lot. She quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and then went downstairs feeling refreshed.
At this moment, only farm workers were helping out in the restaurant. When Shi Jing entered, the huge space was completely empty.
"Today's breakfast includes coffee, sandwiches, muffins..."
Lu En rattled off a long list of food names for Shi Jing, who picked through them and ultimately chose the more common coffee sandwiches and toast.
She ate slowly, occasionally taking a sip of coffee. It wasn't until she finished her meal that she saw Qi Jing appear at the restaurant entrance.
He seemed to be in good spirits, so he obviously had a good night's rest.
Seeing the time, Qi Jingyuan waved and greeted him, "Good morning, have you finished eating?"
"Good morning, I just finished eating," Shi Jing replied. "Aren't Qi Shuang and Xiao Yan up yet?"
“Those two played late last night, they’re probably still sleepy. Let them sleep a little longer,” Qi Jing said.
Hearing him say that, Shi Jing was no longer in a hurry to wake them up.
"Brother Qi Jing, where are we going to have fun today?"
"Yesterday, Xiaoshuang said she wanted to go to a blueberry picking farm. The farm's blueberries are currently in harvest season."
Shi Jing thought it was a good idea. The main purpose of coming to the farm was to experience the rural environment and lifestyle.
Besides, fresh fruit should taste pretty good.
“Lu En is preparing a bonfire party tonight, and my farmer friend should be coming too,” Qi Jing said, a smile of amusement on his face. “That guy also has an entertainment company, so you two should have something to talk about.”
Shi Jing never expected that Qi Jing would introduce her to some connections after she went abroad for a trip.
Although her entertainment company doesn't seem to be expanding into the outside world yet, it's never a bad thing to get to know more people.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Qi Jing."
The bodyguards and assistants who accompanied them got up one after another, and Shi Jing didn't restrict them, letting them arrange their own activities.
Qi Shuang and Qi Yan didn't know what time they stayed up chatting and playing last night. When Shi Jing saw that it was getting late at nine o'clock, he went to knock on their door.
Qi Shuang, still half asleep, came to open the door, and Shi Jing learned that the two had been talking late into the night by candlelight and hadn't gone to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
"Hurry up and wash up, it'll be past breakfast time soon. Didn't you want to go blueberry picking? We'll go after breakfast."
Qi Shuang suddenly remembered that they were going out to play today, and quickly became enthusiastic: "That's right, I'm still half asleep. Xiao Yan, wake up, we're going to play."
"Hmm... I'm up..."
Qi Yan was even more sleepy than Qi Shuang. Qi Shuang and Shi Jing had come out to play and had at least rested well these past few days. Besides accompanying them, Qi Yan also had to go to school and do her homework, so she naturally wanted to sleep in a little longer since she finally had a day off.
After dawdling over washing up and eating, it was already close to ten o'clock.
The weather is getting a bit hot.
Qi Yan fanned herself and couldn't help wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"It's quite hot today."
She glanced at Qi Shuang and Shi Jing; they were all carrying small baskets and tools provided by the farm.
"Let's go, before the sun gets too strong, let's go play for a while. My brother said they also have horses on the farm, that sounds like fun," Qi Yan said.
Qi Shuang was immediately intrigued upon hearing this.
She can actually ride a horse a little; after all, as an actress, there are bound to be some horse riding scenes when filming period dramas.
"Is it safe to ride horses here?" Shi Jing asked with some concern.
"It should be fine. Let's ask Lu En when we get back," Qi Yan said after thinking for a moment.
Qi Yan has always been reliable, so Shi Jing felt relieved after hearing her say that.
The farm was very large, with many employees. Shi Jing and her companions would frequently encounter groups of people helping out. Occasionally, they would also see the assistants and bodyguards who had come with them.
The farm was relatively safe, and apart from the necessary staff, Shi Jing let them play on their own.
Along the way, Shi Jing also met Qi Shuang's assistant, Xiao You. Xiao You had also gone to the orchard, but she mainly picked peaches. When she saw Shi Jing and the others, she was especially happy to share some with them.
These naturally grown peaches have a refreshing peach aroma.
As she walked, Qi Shuang suddenly stopped.
She looked ahead curiously: "Hey, who's that? He's quite handsome."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jing and Qi Yan looked over and saw Qi Jing talking to a young man. This man clearly had the appearance of a foreigner, with short, curly brown hair and exceptionally fair skin.
The two chatted and laughed, appearing to be very familiar with each other.
Qi Yan recognized the man and introduced him to Qi Shuang: "That's Ander, my brother's friend, and also the owner of this farm."
It turned out that this person was the friend Qi Jing had mentioned that morning; it was unexpected that this person had arrived quite early.
Qi Jing and Ander were just strolling along the path, talking as they walked, when they soon noticed Shi Jing and the others' presence.
Qi Jingchao looked at them, smiled, and waved: "Come here."
The three looked at each other, then ran together towards Qi Jing and the others.
"elder brother."
"Brother Qi Jing."
Qi Jing introduced them: "Let me introduce you. This is Ander, the owner of the farm. Ander, these are my sister Qi Yan and her friends Shi Jing and Qi Shuang."
"Oh, I remember, beautiful lady, you are Jing's sister."
"Yes, Mr. Ander."
After exchanging friendly greetings, Ander then greeted Shi Jing and Qi Shuang in turn.
His gaze fell on Qi Shuang, revealing a strong interest, and he was incredibly enthusiastic.
"Shuang, you are truly an elegant Eastern beauty."
