No. 22 Melon
[Exhausted to death?]
[As expected of the Lu family's eldest daughter! Such an explosive performance right from the start!]
[What did the Miss just say? Are the boxes in Lin Cha's hands filled with Lu Yanche's play props?!]
[Wow! Lu Yanche looked so abstinent and gentle, but I didn't expect him to be so playful!]
My XP is ticking! I'm so curious about who Young Master Lu's girlfriend is!
The variety show live broadcast had already started, and as soon as the audience entered the live broadcast room, they heard Lu Yanyan's explosive remarks.
Not only the audience were shocked, but also Lu Yanche and Wei Xinyi who were present.
Lu Yanche's pupils trembled, and a blush that was not his style appeared on his ascetic face.
"Yan Yan, you...what did you say? This is still on the show! Stop messing around!"
Lu Yanyan glanced sideways, her gaze passing over the surprised Lu Yanche and falling on the delicate Wei Xinyi behind him.
On the way here, she was still thinking, Wei Xinyi is just a third-tier female artist, why would those people in the Ministry of Economic Affairs give her such a good resource as "Leisure Life"?
It turns out that it was for Lu Yanche's sake!
Looking at the harmless little white flower, it seems to have quite big ambitions!
Lu Yanyan scoffed and rolled her eyes at Lu Yanche. "Did I say something wrong? Lu Yanche, if you have the guts, open the box and show it to the audience."
Lu Yanche and Wei Xinyi were both shocked.
The two looked at each other, feeling very embarrassed.
Jiang Mingkai took the lead, carrying the box full of props, "Well, Miss, the room is behind the leisure hut, let me carry you over first!"
It’s one thing to eat melons, but if Lu Yanyan really opened the box on the show, would they still be able to record the variety show?
Liu Mingqian and Chen Xianzhi were also worried that something might go wrong with the show, so they quickly spoke up to persuade Lu Yanyan.
Lu Yanyan finally gave Liu Mingqian face, glared at Wei Xinyi with disdain, and nodded in agreement.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Lin Cha looked lonely, and the light in his eyes dimmed.
[No more box opening? What a shame!]
I'm also curious about that mini stun gun! It sounds like fun!
Guests: “…”
There’s already a devil-level troublemaker among the flying guests, and I didn’t expect there’s another troublemaker at home!
I feel like today’s variety show won’t be peaceful!
After introducing themselves to the camera, the flying guests followed Jiang Mingkai to the lounge behind the cabin to settle down.
Before they came, Jiang Mingkai pulled them into the "Bad Playing and Melon Eating Alliance", so they were very receptive to Lin Cha's opinions.
When we returned to the leisure courtyard, it was already past ten o'clock.
Liu Mingqian brought out breakfast items such as bread and cereal, and everyone gathered around the dining table in the courtyard to eat lunch together.
Lu Yanyan cleaned up slowly. When she came to the dining table and saw all bread and cereal, she immediately lost her appetite.
She nudged Jiang Mingkai next to her with her elbow and said, "You are all artists, why are you eating these high-carb foods? Don't you have any self-awareness?"
Other guests: “…”
What can be done? Lin Cha is a lazy bum who never gets up in the morning to make breakfast!
Lunch is also lazy!
Wei Xinyi said gently, "Yanyan, you've never eaten these before, so you might not be able to eat them. I haven't eaten them before either, but I just tried them and I think they taste great! Yanyan, why don't you try it? You can soak bread in milk, it's delicious!"
Wei Xinyi was very considerate. While talking, she helped Lu Yanyan soak the bread.
Lu Yanyan glanced at the soggy bread with a look of disgust, "Eat it yourself, I don't like it."
Wei Xinyi was embarrassed. "Yan Yan, these are all gifts from Teacher Liu and the others! If you don't eat them, it would seem very disrespectful to Teacher Liu and the others!"
Liu Mingqian: ???
What does it have to do with him whether Lu Yanyan eats it or not? He doesn't care whether Lu Yanyan eats it or not!
【What nonsense is Wei Xinyi talking about? 】
Lin Cha, holding a piece of bread in his mouth, looked at Wei Xinyi, who was trying hard to sell Lu Yanyan, with a puzzled look on his face. "The milk is sponsored by the brand, and the bread is also sponsored by the brand. What does it have to do with Teacher Liu? Teacher Liu is at most a carrier of bread and milk, just moving them to the table."
Liu Mingqian nodded repeatedly.
That’s right. If Lu Yanyan doesn’t like to eat it, then she doesn’t like to eat it. It’s not a big deal.
[Also, Missy never eats carbs for breakfast, only protein! Isn't it normal for her not to eat that?]
[Wei Xinyi claims to care about the eldest lady, but doesn't she know this?]
Lu Yanyan didn’t realize it before, but now she realizes that Lin Cha is so cute!
Although she is not a star, as a daughter of a wealthy family, she also cares about maintenance. She has been anti-sugar for many years and never eats refined carbohydrates.
What's wrong with Wei Xinyi that forces her to eat these?
Wei Xinyi's hand holding the milk bread froze.
She still had a smile on her face, but after hearing Lin Cha's inner thoughts, her smile became unnatural.
"Yan Yan, I'm sorry!" Wei Xinyi lowered her head in frustration, "I didn't know you didn't want to eat..."
Lu Yanyan didn't even bother to answer WeChat and went to the kitchen to boil eggs.
Wei Xinyi was left looking at Lu Yanyan's back, feeling very embarrassed.
Everyone ate in silence during the brunch, even Lin Cha was silent.
After dinner, Wei Xinyi offered to clear the table, and Lu Yanche also said that he had not prepared breakfast and stayed to help clean up.
When there was no one in the leisure courtyard, Wei Xinyi took a deep breath, and her calm eyes suddenly turned red and sparkled with tears.
She turned off the little bee, walked over to Lu Yanche, and said with a guilty look on her face, "Brother Yanche, did I make Yanyan unhappy just now?"
There was a live drone feed in the yard, so Lu Yanche couldn't be too presumptuous. He turned off the little bee and whispered to Wei Xinyi, "It's not your fault. It's all my fault. I guess Yanyan knew about our relationship, so she targeted you. It's me who implicated you and made you suffer."
The corners of Wei Xinyi's mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
Then, she heard Lu Yanche say, "But Yanyan has been like this since she was a child. She has a childish nature and she doesn't have bad intentions. Xinyi, for my sake, please don't be angry with her, okay?"
The muscles on Wei Xinyi's face stiffened.
I’ve heard before that Lu Yanche, the eldest son of the Lu family, dotes on his younger sister Lu Yanyan. Now I see that it’s true!
But so what? After all, they are siblings, and their relationship is different.
Wei Xinyi smiled softly, "Brother Yan Che, why would I bother with Yanyan? Yanyan is your sister, and naturally she is also my sister. I love her so much! No matter how Yanyan targets me... I will still treat her well!"
Lu Yanche was very pleased, but also a little distressed, "Xinyi, you are so good."
“Hehehe——”
“Hehehehehehe——”
Suddenly, a strange noise was heard in the yard.
The guests resting in the cabin looked confused: "What's that sound?!"
As I walked out of the hut, I saw three huge pink and white monsters running around in the yard, grunting.
"pig?"
The guests were stunned.
Director Yu and several staff members drove three big fat pigs to the yard. No one knew who had slapped the pigs on the butt, and now the three pigs were chasing Director Yu and screaming.
The scene was weird and funny.
"What are you standing there for?!"
Director Yu was hit on the butt by the pig and let out a heartbreaking scream, "Come and help!"
The guests rushed forward and frantically controlled the pig.
"What's going on? Sending three pigs to the program team?" Liu Mingqian wiped his sweat tiredly.
"This is a pig that the families of the girls who were rescued from Lijia Village jointly bought! They're a gift for our production team!" Director Yu patted the fat pig's head, quite pleased with himself. "They said they didn't know what to give you. They heard that our production team has to do farm work in exchange for food every episode, so they gave us three pigs.
"Pig dad, pig mom, pig son, a perfect family of three!"
Guests busy controlling the pigs:?
"Wow! What a cute pig!"
Lin Cha arrived late, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw three big fat pigs.
——There are also a group of guests around who are trying to control the pigs but are obviously not very successful.
Lu Yanyan rolled her eyes. "What's so cute about being as fat as a pig?"
Jiang Mingkai was speechless in rebuttal, "It's a pig, of course it's fat."
"Being fat and chubby is cute!"
Lin Cha stuck out her tongue, stretched out her little hand, and touched the pig's head. "Only when it's this fat can it be covered in vegetables!"
"The ears can be made into cold pig ears. The ear cartilage is crispy and super delicious! The brain can be roasted. The roasted brain is tender and fragrant. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and the taste is amazing! And the pig's feet can be made into salt and pepper roasted pig's feet! The skin is charred and the meat is tender. It's delicious when you take a bite!"
Lin Cha's mouth has already started to water.
The guests next to him couldn't help but feel a little greedy after hearing Lin Cha's description.
From this perspective, these three pigs are quite cute.
It’s plump, fragrant, and delicious.
Liu Mingqian licked his lips. "Today's mission is to kill a pig? Should we kill the father pig first, or the mother pig? The son pig will also do! The son pig looks the most tender!"
The big fat pig's ears stood up instantly, and it stared at Liu Mingqian in horror, wanting to run away.
Director Yu's eyes widened. "Who said this pig is for you to eat? It's for you to raise!"
Guests who missed the full feast:?
Director Yu said angrily, "This pig symbolizes our production team's victory against the human traffickers! It's very memorable!"
The pigs nodded repeatedly when they heard this.
"You keep a pig as a pet?" Lu Yanyan couldn't accept it.
"Mr. Lu, at least let these pigs survive until the last episode. Eat them when the variety show concludes!" Director Yu explained to Lu Yanyan in a rather flattering manner, "If we eat them so soon, they won't have any commemorative value!"
This seems to make some sense.
Lu Yanyan nodded. She didn't want to kill pigs anyway because it was too bloody.
"Now that the pig is here, let me announce today's variety show mission!"
Director Yu and other staff members drove the pigs to a temporary pen, then held up the program cards and announced the task, "Today's program team's task is - all guests work together to build a pigpen!"
"If the last three pigs are willing to live in the pigsty, the mission will be accomplished, and you can enjoy unlimited barbecue food tonight! If not, you can only eat steamed buns today!"
The guests looked at each other in confusion.
Not only can we not eat the food, but we also have to build nests for the pigs. Is that fair?
But fortunately, there were many people today, so the task was not difficult. In addition, the temptation of barbecue food in the evening was quite great, so the guests agreed again.
After assigning the tasks, Director Yu and the other staff members left the stage. The remaining guests sat around the dining table in the courtyard, planning how to build the pigpen.
First of all, you need building materials. The leisure hut has some wood for repairing buildings and tools for building pig pens, but the pig pens built in this way are definitely not sturdy enough. More stable building materials such as cement bricks are needed.
Qingchuan Village is currently building a breeding farm and has a lot of building materials. You can buy some there.
After some discussion, the guests decided to let Lu Yanche take the female guests to buy building materials, while the remaining male guests stayed where they were and used wood to build the basic skeleton of the pigpen.
Under the scorching sun, the guests arrived at the farm by boat.
——Qingchuan Village has a dense water network, making it more convenient to go to the farm by water.
Two small civilian pleasure boats were parked next to the farm, and Lu Yanche approached to trade building materials with the villagers. He had previously worked at the grassroots level of Lu's Real Estate and had a certain understanding of construction equipment.
After purchasing the building materials, the two cruise ships took turns transporting the materials back to the leisure cabin.
Lu Yanche first transported a batch of cement and hurried back to paste the walls of the pigpen. The remaining female guests were still at the farm carrying building materials.
Lu Yanyan soon became exhausted and sat down on the side, not wanting to move at all.
"This mission is no good! It doesn't fit the purpose of the program at all!" Lu Yanyan complained. "How can this be a relaxing life? This is clearly a life of exhaustion!"
Lin Cha was silently carrying the building materials.
That’s right, there is no leisure, it’s all misery!
But the eldest lady can complain about being tired without fear, but she is just a small shrimp and she dare not.
"Yan Yan, are you tired again?"
Wei Xinyi came to work holding a roll of waterproof cloth and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "But we still have a lot of building materials to move... Otherwise, we won't be able to finish the task before dinner!"
Lu Yanyan stared at Wei Xinyi fiercely, "What? I just need to rest for a while. Do you think I'm holding you back?"
"No, no," Wei Xinyi said with a smile, "If you're tired, I can just make a few more trips and do your work! I also think these building materials are heavy, but it's just a little tiring, it's okay!"
The drone in mid-air continued to film, and the footage of the two people's conversation was also transmitted to the live broadcast room:
[Is Wei Xinyi a newly signed artist at Tianyao? She's quite hardworking and can endure hardships!]
[She seems to be from a wealthy family too, but the Wei family isn't as wealthy as the Lu family. However, it seems Wei Xinyi's upbringing is much better than Lu Yanyan's.]
[u1s1, Lu Yanyan dumped all the work on Wei Xinyi, so Wei Xinyi had to work two jobs. It's almost suffocating to put myself in her shoes!]
[Just like my useless boss who dumps all the work on me, and when I report it, my friends always say it's all her credit!]
[Yeah, Lu Yanyan is so annoying. She can't even handle her own tasks well, and she drags others down with her!]
Lu Yanyan looked at Wei Xinyi coldly. Suddenly, she smiled. "Wei Xinyi, I used to think that the Ministry of Economic Affairs was just signing a third-tier artist. Now it seems that you are really not simple!"
Wei Xinyi froze and said unnaturally, "Yan Yan, I don't understand what you mean."
"Which agent is leading you? You're actually using the same tactics you use on variety shows to criticize celebrities on me?" Lu Yanyan sneered. "This morning, you were implicitly criticizing me for disliking the food sponsored by GG, using me to highlight your wealthy but down-to-earth persona. Now, you're using the excuse of a worker working two jobs to criticize me?
"I thought about it over and over again. After all, I'm your boss. How dare you plot against me?"
"No! Yanyan, you misunderstood! I really didn't!" Wei Xinyi kept shaking her head, her eyes red, and said pitifully, "Yanyan, I know you've always been unhappy with me. I did all this just to make you feel more relaxed and happy..."
Lu Yanyan looked puzzled. "Wei Xinyi, who do you think you are? How can you be so shameless? Why would I dislike you?"
She didn't even know Wei Xinyi before this!
Wei Xinyi didn't know how to refute. She lowered her head, rubbed her fingers helplessly, and glanced at the PD who was following her.
Next to him, Lin Cha was eating the hot melon with great interest.
[Of course it’s because of Young Master Lu! ]
[Sisters-in-law and younger sisters-in-law have always been at odds! Especially in a wealthy family like the Lu family! The younger sisters-in-law are always targeting the younger sisters-in-law! Wei Xinyi is just trying to use the younger sister-in-law's targeting to gain the sympathy of Young Master Lu!]
The more pitiful Wei Xinyi appears, the more she inspires Lu Yanche's desire to protect her! The more he likes her! The higher the possibility that Wei Xinyi will marry into a wealthy family!
Lu Yanyan suddenly understood after hearing Lin Cha's analysis.
No wonder Wei Xinyi looked even more pitiful when Lu Yanche was around! She has a lot of little tricks up her sleeve!
Lu Yanyan sneered.
You want to use this trick on her? You're underestimating her!
Lu Yanyan deliberately turned off the little bee, approached Wei Xinyi, and whispered in her ear, "Wei Xinyi, do you think you can enter a wealthy family by hooking up with my brother?"
"Believe it or not, as long as I don't let you in, you will never be able to marry into the Lu family in this life!"
Wei Xinyi's pupils trembled, her shoulders trembled, and she looked at Lu Yanyan with shame. She bit her lips unconsciously, biting them until they turned white.
The audience in the live broadcast room was extremely curious:
[What did Lu Yanyan just say to Wei Xinyi? Why did Wei Xinyi's expression suddenly change?]
[Same curiosity! Did Lu Yanyan threaten Wei Xinyi?]
[Damn it! Lu Yanyan, why are you so reserved?! Let's share our secrets!]
Am I the only one still pondering what Lu Yanyan just said to Wei Xinyi? I think Lu Yanyan is right. Wei Xinyi is really good! She's been trashing Lu Yanyan in every way she says! It's just that Lu Yanyan isn't an entertainer, so I didn't expect Wei Xinyi to actually trash her.
But what's the point of Wei Xinyi trying to drag down Lu Yanyan? They're not rivals.
[I don’t understand… but anyway, what Wei Xinyi and Lu Yanyan said really made me uncomfortable! Just like my gossipy colleagues, I hate them so much!]
Wei Xinyi's eyes sparkled with tears, and she said pitifully, "Yan Yan, you really misunderstood, I didn't—"
"It doesn't matter anymore," Lu Yanyan interrupted Wei Xinyi without further ado, "You know the truth."
"However," Lu Yanyan smiled slyly, "Didn't you just say that I was targeting you because I didn't like you? I'm targeting you now!"
Wei Xinyi was suddenly startled and her heart started beating wildly.
Lu Yanyan stood up and pointed at the construction material workers passing by. "You, you, and you, come and help me move things. One thousand yuan each! I'll pay you immediately after you finish moving!"
The workers were about to take a break, but upon hearing this, they hurried forward to help Lu Yanyan move all the building materials onto the boat.
Not only were Lu Yanyan's building materials moved onto the boat, but also Lin Cha and Lu Yanche's parts.
Lu Yanyan paid the workers' wages very straightforwardly, and the workers were all very happy.
"As for Wei Xinyi's part..."
Lu Yanyan raised her eyebrows, half smiling, "Wei Xinyi, aren't you very capable and able to endure hardships? I'm lying here so you can pull me down and build up my image! Don't let me down!"
Wei Xinyi gritted her teeth, looked at Lu Yanyan's smug back, and angrily asked the filming PD, "Didn't they say you can't use your own money? Miss Lu, isn't this a violation?"
"Okay!"
The PD carrying the camera said calmly, "But she's the boss of Tianyao. Does anyone dare to say anything about her?"
If you can’t do whatever you want as a boss, what kind of boss are you!
Lu Yanyan completed the task ahead of schedule thanks to her financial ability, and Lin Cha also benefited from it.
She jumped into the boat and waved to Lin Cha, "Let's go, Lin Cha, let's go home. It's so hot, I need to go back and take a shower!"
Lin Cha didn't expect that all the work was completed at once, and he happily jumped into Lu Yanyan's cabin.
【The eldest lady is such a good person! 】
【I like Missy the most! 】
Although Lu Yanyan didn't have the stamina to move building materials, she possessed exceptional boating skills. The boat's electric engine blazed, its stern creating layers of white foam on the water as it sped toward the leisure cabin.
The wind blowing in your face is slightly cool, carrying the moist scent of the water-networked countryside, mixed with the fragrance of green grass in the mountains, gently blowing on your face.
It feels so comfortable in the afternoon when I complete the task!
——It’s just a feeling, as if I’ve forgotten something?
Halfway through the drive, Lu Yanyan saw Lu Yanche returning and told him that she had paid workers to move the building materials.
Lu Yanche: "That's good, it's a little easier. Now that the building materials have been transported, let's go back!"
Lu Yanyan nodded, and the two cruise ships drove side by side towards the leisure cabin.
——I feel like...I've forgotten something...
Lin Cha sat obediently in Lu Yanyan's cabin, racking his brains but still couldn't figure it out.
The two cruise ships drew two white streaks on the water. Looking back at the farm, the sun was setting, and against the light of the setting sun, it seemed as if someone was waving at them.
Lin Cha tilted his head——
[Huh?]
【Anyone?】
[Looks a little familiar.]
[I should have seen this person before...]
[Fuck! (a plant)]
【Isn’t this Wei Xinyi! ! ! !】
Lin Cha was the first to react.
Lu Yanyan and Lu Yanche heard Lin Cha's thoughts and turned around to see the girl in the sunset, waving her hands as if dancing.
Lu Yanyan frowned.
"How could this woman be so contrived? Dancing in the sunset?"
She glanced at Lu Yanche beside her. He was clearly trying to seduce her brother!
Lu Yanche was slightly stunned. He looked at Wei Xinyi with a gentle smile on his face. "Xinyi is indeed a graduate of a dance academy. She dances beautifully!"
On the side, Lin Cha widened his eyes in disbelief.
[Oh my god! Miss! Young Master! Isn't Wei Xinyi dancing in the sunset?]
[She's waving, "Help! You two have sailed away! She can't come back!"]
The cruise ship returned to the farm's dock. Wei Xinyi jumped into the cabin and hugged Lu Yanche tightly.
Her eyes were red, and tears fell like pearls, "Brother Yan Che, I thought you had forgotten me! I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Lu Yanche hugged Wei Xinyi tightly, his face full of guilt. "I'm sorry, Xinyi. I was too careless. I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Beside her, Lu Yanyan rolled her eyes.
Didn't I just forget to take Wei Xinyi back to the cabin? Why did it become like a life-and-death separation?
But after all, she had forgotten Wei Xinyi, and Lu Yanyan was too embarrassed to make sarcastic remarks, so she could only poke the dimple on Lin Cha's cheek.
"It's all your fault! You didn't remind me! If you had reminded me, I wouldn't have forgotten!"
Lin Cha:?
[Can you blame me for this?!]
Lin Cha scratched his hair speechlessly.
[But…I remember Wei Xinyi was right next to us when we boarded the ship. The PD knew to board the ship, so was she stupid enough to just stand there in a daze?]
Lu Yanyan was stunned. Then she looked at Wei Xinyi, her eyes moving around, her expression dark and unclear.
Wei Xinyi let go of Lu Yanche and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. The waterproof cosmetics ensured that the makeup on her face was still perfect at this moment.
She walked up to Lu Yanyan and lowered her head shyly. "Yanyan, blame me. I realized I forgot to take the waterproof sheet, so I went back to get it, and that's why I forgot to get on the boat. It has nothing to do with you."
"Didn't Lin Cha take the waterproof cloth?" Lu Yanyan asked.
"It's Teacher Chen!" Wei Xinyi said, "Teacher Chen asked us to buy an extra one so that we can have a replacement when we need to repair it later."
Lu Yanyan still looked at Wei Xinyi suspiciously, but didn't say much. She folded her arms and turned back to the cabin.
When I looked up, I suddenly saw a drone in the air.
——The moment Wei Xinyi rushed forward to hug Lu Yanche, Lu Yanyan quickly covered the camera of the PD who was following her, but she forgot that there was a spare one in the air.
Lu Yanyan: "Damn it, I forgot about this little thing!"
At this moment, the scene of Wei Xinyi and Lu Yanche hugging each other quickly spread across the entire network -
[Wei Xinyi is actually dating the eldest son of the Lu family? Holy crap!]
[23333 "Life of Eating Melons" really lives up to its reputation! A melon a day!]
[I've always thought Lu Yanche was very gentle towards Wei Xinyi, and I thought it was just his personality. Turns out there's another reason!]
[The reason Lu Yanyan and Wei Xinyi were at odds just now is now explained. It's normal for a sister-in-law and a sister-in-law to dislike each other!]
[The Wei family is just an ordinary wealthy family in Hai City, right? They're actually able to get involved with the Lu family! Wei Xinyi is awesome!]
[Isn't it? Wei Xinyi hooked up with Lu Yanche less than a month after joining Tianyao. How impressive!]
[Can you please stop making random guesses?! Our Xinyi and Young Master Lu are truly in love, so why are they trying to hook up?!]
[Yeah, seeing how Xinyi and the eldest young master hugged each other just now, I think they are definitely in love! It's not like what the above person speculated!]
[Support Xinyi and Master Lu! Hahaha, this explains Master Lu's box of play toys! The woman is also participating in the variety show, no wonder she brought so many toys!]
[Holy crap! After hearing what the above person said, I feel like this relationship is even more of a bummer!]
The entry about Wei Xinyi and Lu Yanche being in love quickly became a hot search on Weibo.
But it only stayed on the hot search list for a while, and Tianyao Entertainment’s public relations immediately took action and removed all the news.
Netizens flocked to Tianyao Entertainment's Weibo to inquire about the relationship between the two. Tianyao Entertainment did not confirm the relationship between Wei Xinyi and Lu Yanche, but also did not issue any statement to indicate that Wei Xinyi was single.
Faced with such conclusive video, netizens have already reached a conclusion.
Wei Xinyi's number of Weibo followers has been skyrocketing.
This originally unknown third-tier artist, thanks to the variety show "Leisure Life" and this hugging video, has rapidly gained popularity and fame...
