Everyone returned to their seats quietly with this uneasiness, trying to restore the atmosphere to normal.
Huang Yuanzhe pretended to be calm and continued to cook eel rice in the kitchen, but his hands were shaking unconsciously. His eyes drifted towards the living room from time to time, fearing that Li Qiran would know that everyone could hear her thoughts.
Su Liyue coughed lightly, trying to break the deadlock, and said to Li Qiran and Lin Yiping with a dry laugh: "Xiao Qiran, Yiping, did you see anything interesting while you were walking? The scenery in this countryside must be very beautiful."
Lin Yiping understood what she meant and followed her words to talk about the scenery along the way, the swaying wild flowers, the scattered ridges of the fields, and the dreamy sunset in the sky.
She described the situation vividly, and Li Qiran came out of her confusion, but she planned to wait for Lao Ba to come back and ask him about it.
Li Yifei glanced at Wang Yu secretly and saw him sitting aside somewhat awkwardly, and a complicated emotion arose in his heart.
On the one hand, the strange hobby that Lao Ba revealed made him feel a little uncomfortable, but on the other hand, Wang Yu’s previous considerate behavior really warmed him.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Yifei patted Wang Yu's shoulder gently and whispered, "Don't worry about it. Let's go to the snack street as planned later."
Wang Yu raised his head, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly.
Netizens were still buzzing on the other side of the screen, with all kinds of speculations emerging:
"I feel like they must have known a huge piece of gossip, but they just didn't broadcast it. It makes me so anxious!"
"Maybe it has something to do with the guest's dark history, otherwise why would the collective reaction be so strong?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, but I really want to know the truth."
"Their atmosphere just now was obviously not right. If it wasn't a live broadcast, I would have thought I had missed some key issue."
"What the hell is going on? I think I know what happened?!"
As the night deepened, Li Yifei and Wang Yu got up and prepared to go to the snack street.
"Don't you want to try Teacher Huang's yellow eel stewed rice?" Su Liyue said when she saw the two of them were about to go out.
Although she already knew it, she couldn't swallow what Lao Ba said, so she wanted to hint to Li Yifei and Wang Yu to suggest that everyone go together.
"We had agreed on this before, and I've already told Teacher Huang about it." Li Yifei didn't understand Su Liyue's hint and just said it truthfully.
"Yes, Yifei told me to go to the snack street in town at night." Huang Yuanzhe also spoke up to explain for Li Yifei and Wang Yu at the right time.
Su Liyue chuckled: "Okay, then take your time and remember to come back early. We will leave some for you." She could only say awkwardly.
Li Yifei wanted to refuse, but seeing Su Liyue's half-smile, he didn't say it. He just nodded, then got in the car with Wang Yu and went to the snack street in the town.
In the homestay, the remaining people sat together, chatting idly, but their minds were not on the topic at all.
Lin Yiping held Li Qiran's hand tightly and was about to say that she wanted to go out to eat with Li Qiran.
But Huang Yuanzhe brought the eel rice to the table. Everyone looked at the steaming plate of rice, and no one picked up their chopsticks for a while.
"How about... let's try it? Maybe it tastes good." Su Liyue took the lead in breaking the deadlock, picked up the spoon, scooped a small mouthful, and slowly put it into her mouth.
Seeing this, the others also started to move hesitantly.
Unexpectedly, Huang Yuanzhe's cooking skills were really good. The rice grains were plump and the eels were tender and tasty. After a while, everyone temporarily forgot what Lao Ba had said just now and immersed themselves in the food.
On the other side, Li Yifei and Wang Yu walked on the brightly lit snack street, with colorful neon lights flashing and various snack stalls emitting tempting aromas.
Wang Yu seemed to want to make up for the previous embarrassment. Along the way, he enthusiastically introduced various special snacks to Li Yifei, from crispy sugar-coated rice cakes to spicy grilled skewers. Li Yifei's mood gradually relaxed.
As they were walking, Wang Yu suddenly stopped and looked at Li Yifei sincerely: "Brother Yifei, I know you may still have some doubts about me, but I..."
He paused slightly, as if mustering up his courage: "I really like you. All those messed up things before were just because I was young and frivolous. I will definitely change in the future."
Li Yifei looked into his sincere eyes, and the resentment in his heart slowly dissipated. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, then it depends on your performance."
Wang Yu was a little surprised and hugged Li Yifei directly. When people around saw them, they thought they were a pair of good brothers, but in fact they were a pair of good gay friends.
Li Yifei just patted Wang Yu's back gently, and then they walked around for a while and planned to go back to the B&B when there were fewer people in the snack street.
When we returned to the B&B, it was almost midnight and everyone had returned to their rooms and were preparing to go back to their rooms to rest.
Li Qiran stretched and yawned, saying, "I'm so sleepy, let's go to sleep. Tomorrow is the last day, so we have to have fun."
Lin Yiping was also a little tired, so she hugged Li Qiran in her arms, turned off the lights and went to sleep. She didn't have the energy to continue.
That night, everyone slept exceptionally soundly, as if all doubts and anxieties were temporarily sealed.
However, what they don't know is that Lao Ba is trying desperately to find the cause of the problem in the system bureau, and the secret about the voice of the heart is like a time bomb that may explode again at any time, breaking the surface peace...
However, after investigation by the System Bureau, Lao Ba was unable to find any clues, so she had to return home in disappointment.
Seeing that Li Qiran had fallen asleep, Lao Ba did not disturb her any further. He planned to talk to Li Qiran about the investigation tomorrow. He just said silently, "Good night, Xiaoqi."
But Lin Yiping did not fall asleep. She was waiting for Lao Ba to come back and said directly, "Lao Ba, are you willing to talk?!"
Lao Ba was a little confused after hearing this, [Lin Yiping is talking in her sleep?! ]
Lin Yiping was not talking in her sleep: "I'm talking to you, Qibao's system, Lao Ba!"
Lao Ba was shocked, [Can you hear me? No, you have always known about my existence?! ]
Lin Yiping stopped pretending and came clean: "Yes, I have always known about your existence. Everyone knows it too, and it seems that everyone can hear Qibao's thoughts!"
Lao Ba was a little panicked, [So the conversation between Xiao Qi and I has actually been exposed? Then why didn't they tell us? ]
Lin Yiping shook her head helplessly: "They may think it's fun to follow Li Qiran and eat melons, so they didn't say anything. Besides, we thought about telling Qibao that we can hear his inner voice, but as soon as we opened our mouths, it turned into quack quack."
Lao Ba now understood, [So that's how those abnormal situations are. So why are you talking to me directly now? ]
