Su Qi followed Zhan Yang on a flight from City S to City H, then took a car and drove for over two hours. They finally arrived at Shixi Village at 4:30 PM. Before she could even marvel at the pristine village, she spotted a bustling roadside stall. Amidst the bustling crowd, she spotted her brother.
Zhan Yang parked the car nearby, and Su Qi couldn't wait to get out and walk towards the roadside shed.
Su Ling and Lin Feng were helping the villagers pack rice fish when they noticed another private car approaching. He looked up at the girl approaching and immediately put down the tape. A joyful smile flashed across his face as he said to the little bee floating nearby, "That's all for today's livestream. Thank you all for watching all day. See you next time."
He winked at the camera and said goodbye to netizens.
Su Qi came in front of him and called out excitedly and clearly, "Brother."
Before the netizens who were watching the live broadcast had time to say goodbye to their idol, a beautiful girl flashed across the camera, arousing the curiosity of countless people, but the signal was interrupted and many netizens almost vomited blood.
Su Ling didn't care about the netizens' reactions. He hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he stretched out his hand to measure her height. "She seems to have grown a little taller."
Hearing her brother's words, Su Qi's cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes brightened, and she stood on tiptoe, touching Su Ling's palm with her head. She raised the corners of her mouth like a kitten and said proudly, "Well, I'm five centimeters taller than three years ago."
Su Ling caressed her head lovingly. Three years ago, Xiao Qi was still a sixteen-year-old girl. In the blink of an eye, she had grown up, taller, more beautiful, with confidence in her eyes and full of youthful vitality.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
Su Ling said a few words to Li Dahai, took Lin Feng's hand, took his sister and got into Zhan Yang's car, and drove all the way back to the Su family residence.
"We're here." He got out of the car first and helped his sister open the door.
Su Qi looked straight ahead, ignoring the man in the front passenger seat. He got out of the car slowly and stood on the basketball court where the grain was drying. He looked at the quaint house with a slight surprise.
Yesterday, when my brother was live-streaming the drying of grain, the camera occasionally swept over the courtyard. It wasn’t clear enough through the screen, but now that I can see the green tiles and white walls firsthand, I can deeply feel a sense of simplicity and elegance coming towards me.
Su Ling pulled the key from his pocket, unlocked the gate, and invited his sister in. Lin Feng, left behind, frowned, a cold aura emanating from him. Zhan Yang took Su Qi's suitcase from the trunk, touched his nose, and followed him silently.
"...This garden was originally the old house of our Su family." Su Ling took his sister to visit the ancestral home and explained the history of the Su family and the deeds of his second grandfather.
Su Qi was filled with curiosity. She was amazed by the rockery, rocks, pavilions and towers.
“So beautiful—”
No wonder my brother is reluctant to leave the countryside!
The air here is fresh, the environment is beautiful, it is leisurely and quiet, it is so pleasant.
"So we have a second grandfather?" Su Qi asked in confusion after listening to her brother's introduction, "Why didn't Grandpa ever mention him?"
Su Ling pursed his lips and said, "We severed our relationship when we split up thirty years ago. It's normal for grandpa not to mention it."
If he had not received the call from Lawyer Zhang, he would not have known that he had a second grandfather in the countryside. Although he came here with his father when he was a child, he was too young at that time and had almost forgotten about him.
Su Qi walked into the living room and looked at the furnishings inside. She found a tabby cat curled up and sleeping on a mahogany chair. She couldn't help but walk over and touch it gently.
The tabby cat was alert, its ears moved, its eyes opened, and it stared sharply at the strange yet somewhat familiar person.
"Meow~~~~~~~" It stood up, stretched its body and yawned.
Su Qi and Su Ling looked somewhat similar, but she was a girl, with softer, smaller features. Her waist-length, wavy hair was jet-black and fine, highlighting her fair, delicate skin. The tabby cat felt familiar and let her stroke its back, squinting slightly, looking as if it were enjoying it.
"It's so cute!" Su Qi was so delighted by the first close contact with the little animal that she couldn't help but touch it a few more times.
"Its name is Lion." Su Ling stretched out his finger to scratch the raccoon cat's chin, "There's also a sleepy little dog."
Su Qi looked towards the corner of the living room and found a snow-white local dog sleeping soundly in the open doghouse.
My brother is really a winner in life. He has both a cat and a dog. He is so lucky!
Lin Feng stepped over the threshold calmly. Seeing that the brother and sister were talking intently, he did not disturb them. He went behind the screen and went upstairs to take a shower.
Zhan Yang came in with a suitcase, looking a little embarrassed. He hesitated whether to go up and ask. Su Ling noticed him, stopped talking to his sister, and said to him, "Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Zhan, for bringing my sister here."
Zhan Yang said respectfully, "Mr. Su, you're too polite. It's just a small favor."
He was originally going to come to H City. The planning of the Liuxian River Corridor has been completed and it is almost time to start construction. General Manager Lin appointed him as the project manager and he will be stationed in Liuxian Town to work for a long time.
Su Qi saw the suitcase he was carrying and hurried forward to take it, saying politely, "Thank you, Assistant Zhan."
Zhan Yang said with a smile: "It's my duty."
After a day of work, his body was sticky. Su Ling said to the two of them, "Xiao Qi, you and Assistant Zhan sit in the living room for a while. I'm going upstairs to take a shower and make dinner for you later."
"Oh, okay, brother." Su Qi was a little scared when she heard that her brother was going to cook dinner.
My brother can actually cook?
In the past, at the Su family, her brother was just like her, never touching the water, never even carrying a dish, let alone cooking. Now her brother not only does farm work, but also does housework. It's incredible!
Zhan Yang had a meal cooked by Su Ling once and he could not forget it.
I have to say that the vegetables in the countryside are fresher and more delicious than those in the city. I can’t get enough of them after trying them.
Su Ling went upstairs to the bedroom. Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, he curled up the corners of his mouth, bent his fingers and knocked twice on the bathroom door.
"I'm coming in~" Without waiting for Lin Feng to answer, he pushed the door open and walked in. Under the shower head, the naked and muscular body of a man came into view.
Lin Feng used his slender fingers to push away the wet hair on his forehead, wiped the water droplets off his face, and turned to look at Su Ling, who was standing at the door with bright eyes.
"...I haven't finished washing yet." he said.
"It's okay, let's take a shower together."
Su Ling took off his dirty clothes neatly, threw them into the clothes basket, walked over barefoot, and shared the shower with him.
Lin Feng's eyes darkened and he moved aside to make room for Su Ling to take a better shower.
His whole body was soaked in warm water, his pores were relaxed, and Su Ling couldn't help but sigh.
This sigh contained a hint of temptation. Lin Feng suddenly reached out and hugged him, lowering his head to seal his lips.
Twenty minutes later, Su Ling, with slightly red lips and half-wet curly hair, went downstairs with Lin Feng.
It's really easy for two people to take a shower together and accidentally discharge the gun. If they hadn't considered that there were guests at home, they would probably still be lingering in the bathroom.
"Not bad, really good!"
In the living room, Director Dou came uninvited, staring at Su Qimeng with his bespectacled eyes, muttering to himself.
"The image is a perfect match. With just a few minor script changes, we can start filming the commercial straight away!"
Su Qi sat down calmly and let him comment on her, without any stage fright.
Director Dou admired her even more. As expected of Mr. Su's sister, she was unparalleled in appearance. Unlike the average girl from a small family, she came from a wealthy family and had a noble and elegant temperament.
"Director Dou, have you had dinner yet?" Su Ling came to the living room and asked with a smile.
Director Dou came back to his senses, pushed up his glasses, and said frankly, "I didn't eat."
Su Ling invited: "How about having a simple meal here?"
Director Dou deliberately postponed it: "This... I'm sorry to interrupt your brother and sister's reunion."
Su Ling smiled: "It's more lively when there are more people."
Director Dou was no longer reserved: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Su."
He had a free breakfast, was dragged to work for the day, and then had a free dinner. He had no psychological burden at all.
Su Ling saw through his thoughts, but didn't point it out. "It's not a big deal about an extra pair of chopsticks."
He first made a pot of tea in the kitchen, poured a cup for each person, and then went to the kitchen to work.
Lin Feng sat on a mahogany chair, working on his mobile phone, exuding an air of majesty. The loudmouthed Director Dou quieted down, restrained his excessive excitement, and spoke seriously to Su Qi.
There were guests today, so Su Ling prepared a grand dinner.
Picking vegetables from his own backyard, adding the seafood he bought at the supermarket yesterday and the rice-flavored fish he brought back from the fields, Su Ling spent more than an hour making eight dishes and a soup, filling the table.
Director Dou praised the food highly. Su Qi looked at her brother with admiration and was completely impressed. Zhan Yang was very satisfied to have tasted the delicious farm food again.
Lin Feng put down his chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and said to Su Ling: "I'll wash the dishes."
Su Ling wanted to entertain the guests, so he said, "Okay, be careful not to break any more plates."
The two of them washed the breakfast and lunch dishes together. During the process, Lin Feng broke a plate and was almost beaten to death by Su Ling. This set of porcelain bowls cost him 30,000 yuan, and without the plate, it would not be a complete set.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Feng responded, carefully picked up the empty bowl and put it in the kitchen sink.
Director Dou, who had been fed dog food for a whole day, had calmed down. Zhan Yang, who had seen President Lin kneeling on the washboard, was even more calm. Only Su Qi stared with her beautiful eyes wide open in surprise.
This man... doesn't seem as cold as he looks. In front of his brother, he is as gentle as a melting glacier and as gentle as water.
The contrast was too great and she had trouble adapting.
Su Ling let Lin Feng clean up the dishes by himself and asked him to move to the living room. Zhan Yang said that he wanted to go back to the hotel in Liuxian Town first. Su Ling did not try to keep him. He sent him to the door and watched the car leave before going back into the house.
There was only one guest room in the house, so when his sister came, Zhan Yang naturally had no place to stay. But he had a car, so it was convenient for him to go back to the hotel in town.
Director Dou added Su Qi on WeChat and forwarded her the commercial script. "This is the first version. Take a look. The new version should be out tomorrow."
"Okay." Su Qi opened the file and took a quick look. She found that the entire advertisement did not have many lines, and it was mostly just about posing.
She raised the question, and Director Dou coughed awkwardly and said, "This script was originally tailored for Lin Yun. He's not good at delivering lines, so we've tried not to let him speak. However, your lines are pretty good, so I'll have the screenwriter add some content."
The ability to deliver lines is an actor's basic quality. If one cannot deliver lines well, there is basically no room for improvement in acting skills.
Su Qi had no objection. "We're starting filming tomorrow?"
Director Dou shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's impossible to start the filming for the time being."
"Why?" Su Qi asked in confusion.
Director Dou sighed, "Everything else is easy. The only problem now is that the costumes are not good enough."
After Su Ling sent Zhan Yang off, he returned to the living room and heard Director Dou's words. He asked, "Why not the costumes?"
Director Dou spread his hands and explained, "Before, we worked with a male actor, and the costumes were all tailored to Lin Yun's measurements. Now that Miss Su has been replaced, I'm afraid the clothes and accessories will not be suitable."
Su Ling nodded and said: "This is indeed a big problem, are you worried?"
Director Dou frowned, "Why aren't you anxious? We only signed a two-week filming contract. There's no way we can customize the clothes in such a short time."
What should I do then?
The living room fell into silence. After a while, Su Qi suddenly had an idea and asked hesitantly, "How about... I dress up as a man?"
Director Dou: …
Su Ling: ...
Su Qi's cheeks turned red when they looked at her. She asked softly, "No...Is it not possible?"
Director Dou groaned for a moment and asked, "How tall is Miss Su?"
"One meter seventy-three." Su Qi said.
The author has something to say: Phew, finally fixed it, 555, it’s one o’clock again, my head is going to be bald!!
