Chapter 12 Chapter 012 Nan Fei was stunned and...
Sure enough, just as Yan Nanxing guessed, after the group got on the main road, they saw a special car with the program crew's label on it waiting at the intersection, and the assistant director got out to greet everyone.
After receiving the call, he first asked the camera leader for the camera, and asked what happened on the way. However, after watching the video of the two guests chatting, he immediately frowned and stared in the direction of Nan Fei.
Nan Fei felt an inexplicable chill and looked back, but only received a warning from the assistant director with a forced smile.
This old-fashioned person had no sense of variety show, and the atmosphere was somewhat bad, so Nan Fei, who was used to doing his own thing, felt guilty and pretended to be a quail. When he turned around, he happened to meet the teasing smile in Yan Nanxing's eyes.
Obviously saw the whole thing.
Seeing him smile like that made her feel upset, as if he would say something unpleasant the next moment. Nan Fei suppressed her emotions and started the conversation forcefully: "We just spent some funds. Will it affect the subsequent process?"
Yan Nanxing chuckled, noticing the man's embarrassment, but he didn't continue to persecute him: "It's okay, the production team won't embarrass the guests over such a small matter."
"According to the original plan, our money should now be in the hands of Sister Tang and Brother Cen, so it doesn't matter to them whether we have these five hundred or not."
"At worst, I can save some money later."
Although being alone with Yan Nanxing was not pleasant most of the time, Nan Fei still had an inexplicable sense of trust in him. After hearing these words, her heart was at ease.
The drive was not long and they arrived at their destination in about ten minutes. Perhaps having heard the noise, Tang Jingyun came out to greet them.
The new filming location is an independent farmhouse. It is not a big place, but it is kept very neat and stylish. However, it is obviously different from the carefully decorated atmosphere of Taoyuan Cottage. It is more original and down-to-earth.
"Hey, we're finally here."
Tang Jingyun greeted the two with a smile: "What a coincidence! I was just telling Teacher Cen that if you two don't come, we'll have to complete the task independently."
Hearing this, Yan Nanxing couldn't help but tease: "Sister, you didn't show any mercy when you tried to rob us of our funds yesterday."
Yan Nanxing bluntly "exposed" her, and Tang Jingyun waved her hands helplessly: "Unfair, it was clearly the program team's idea, you can't blame us entirely, I felt guilty for a long time last night."
Nan Fei imagined it, was he counting the money with a smile and feeling guilty at the same time?
"But then again, Nanxing, you're really amazing. You were able to guess this. It seems like our performance wasn't natural enough."
Anyone who dares to say that the best actor and actress' acting skills are not good is just making excuses. Yan Nanxing smiled and replied, "I can't say I'm great. As a businessman, being a little cunning has almost become a professional habit."
"Huh? I thought you were still studying." Hearing this, Tang Jingyun was genuinely surprised. "You seem so familiar with herbs. You don't look like an undergraduate, more like a graduate or doctoral student... I didn't expect you're already working?"
"Yeah, that's right. You're so pretty and young, I haven't even asked your age... Your work is also related to herbal medicine, right? Can you tell me?"
The two of them started chatting in unison, as if they were just having a casual chat. Nan Fei followed them silently. Only then did he truly understand why the topic of the road they had walked a dozen minutes ago, which came to an abrupt end, was worth Yan Nanxing's comment that it was a pity.
Looking at Tang Jingyun at this moment, she can be said to be Nan Fei's control group. She can create jokes and connect with others, naturally liven up the atmosphere, and is not afraid of offending others with her words because she is also good at smoothing things over.
So when Nan Fei heard them talking like this, he thought, maybe Yan Nanxing would do the same as when they were on the road and appropriately bring out his identity to create a topic?
Unexpectedly, Yan Nanxing paused and only gave a vague explanation: "Well, it's almost the same. I'm just like my family, doing some medicinal materials business. Generally speaking, it's a professional match."
Seeing Yan Nanxing's involuntarily averted gaze and nonchalant tone during the conversation, Tang Jingyun immediately stopped the topic. Nan Fei, who was a little slow to react, was still in a daze and almost bumped into the person who stopped in front of him. Only then did he realize that Yan Nanxing had turned around at some point and was looking at him with a smile.
He subconsciously felt a little nervous: "...What are you looking at? Is there something on your face?"
"Yes, your mouth, nose, eyes, everything on your face looks good."
Nan Fei choked at the sudden teasing, but he had already learned to resist skillfully. He pretended not to hear and turned to Tang Jingyun: "Sister Tang, do we have any assignments next?"
Although there had been some minor setbacks earlier, everyone had actually gotten used to following Tang Jingyun's instructions. Tang Jingyun laughed heartily and beckoned, "Xiaonan, come with me to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables. As for Nanxing, you can cook, right? Go help your teacher, Mr. Cen, in the kitchen."
Yan Nanxing made an OK gesture and headed towards the kitchen.
This farmyard doesn't look big from the outside, but the thing that self-built houses in the countryside have the most is space. The neighbors live sparsely, and most people have a separate kitchen. When Yan Nanxing came over, Cen Jiashu was using the big pot stove awkwardly, and the owner of the house was burning firewood and adding to the fire. The scene was quite harmonious.
Yan Nanxing came in and said hello, then skillfully picked up the vegetables from the basket and washed them while occasionally interjecting into their conversation.
The host spoke with a somewhat unconventional accent, gentle and soothing, with a long trailing tone as if he was singing an opera, mixed with his half-baked Mandarin which was incredibly funny, but because he spoke slowly, communication was barely possible. The firewood was burning brightly under the stove door, and the red light reflected on the eldest brother's dark face. The atmosphere in the kitchen was warm and cozy.
Just as Cen Jiashu was asking about the local dishes, an elderly man suddenly walked in. He spoke much faster. Before the group of people could react, the eldest man smiled apologetically and explained, "I have something to do at home. You guys continue. Feel free to use the kitchen utensils. If you have any questions, just call me."
After saying that, the two men hurried out. The old man came and went in a hurry, but Yan Nanxing reacted quickly. He first smelled a familiar smell, and when he took a look at the old man's dress, he showed a thoughtful expression.
Cen Jiashu was just about to ask Yan Nanxing for help when he saw the man suddenly stand up and walk towards the film crew.
The main filming crew of the program was all in the courtyard. The assistant director was filming the kitchen. Yan Nanxing's sudden approach had caught him off guard, but his performance over the past two days had been quite intriguing. Seeing his expression, which clearly showed him mulling over something, the assistant director also became interested: "What new idea has Teacher Yan come up with?"
Yan Nanxing smiled slightly and said, "Director, do you know where the owner of this courtyard is going?"
"ah?"
As one of the only two assistant directors, he actually knew.
But logically speaking, such private matters are inappropriate and unnecessary to be disclosed to the guests.
After all, the shooting location provided when signing the contract was limited to this small courtyard.
But with a subtle trust in Yan Nanxing, the assistant director hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Why don't you tell me first, what are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I haven't done anything bad. Director, are you still worried about me?" Yan Nanxing smiled at him and explained patiently, "I can probably guess what's going on at Big Brother's house. It's a coincidence, so maybe I can help."
"Well, this matter has nothing to do with the production team. It's just that I won't be able to shoot for a while."
In order to convince the director, Yan Nanxing interrupted before he could answer: "Not counting the distance, I can finish it within an hour."
Although Yan Nanxing's words violated work regulations, the assistant director thought that the subsequent filming did require the host's presence, and the place was not too far away, so he told Yan Nanxing the address with some doubt.
When Nan Fei and Tang Jingyun returned with the freshly picked vegetables, Cen Jiashu was the only one left in the kitchen.
Nan Fei looked around and asked, "Teacher Cen, where is Yan Nanxing?"
"Ah, he was here just now, but he spoke to the director and then left. Maybe he had some other task." Cen Jiashu was a little confused at first, but because he was busy, he quickly put the matter out of his mind. "Come on, you two come and give me a hand. I still don't know how to use this pot..."
The three of them worked hard in the kitchen. When the dishes were almost ready, Shen Yuzhe and Tao Xi also arrived late, dragging their tired bodies.
"Brothers, sisters, seniors—" Before anyone showed up, Tao Xi's energetic voice came from a long distance away, "We're finally here!"
Attention was diverted, and everyone went to welcome the two back with a smile. Seeing that everyone was listening to Tao Xi's vivid description of today's experience, Nan Fei couldn't find a suitable opportunity to speak for a while.
"Oh my god, my brothers and sisters are so cruel!" Tao Xi complained, her pretty face drooping. "You guys are enjoying your peaceful life here, but Xiaozhe and I have been running around all day!"
The "punishment" task that the director team gave to Tao Xi and Shen Yuzhe's team was to transport fruits to the homes of the villagers who had placed orders for the plantation they had helped yesterday. It wasn't that tiring, especially since Tao Xi was a very active person. Walking around the streets was not a difficult task for her at all. She finished all the work while sweating and chatting and laughing.
Just from the smiling faces of the group directors, we can tell that today was a very fruitful day.
Although it was a punishment, Tao Xi's appearance showed that she was having quite a lot of fun.
It was rare for Shen Yuzhe to get involved. He was obviously much more relaxed and cooperated with Tao Xi, even talking a lot more.
After a lively chat, when the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, Cen Jiashu finally interrupted the conversation: "The food is ready, so come clean and have dinner."
Everyone calmly headed to the kitchen, but no one mentioned Yan Nanxing. Nan Fei looked left and right, not wanting to show she cared too much about him, but she also felt it was important for everyone to be present during the recording. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Yuzhe, who happened to be nearby, glanced around and asked first, "By the way, why isn't Nanxing here?"
Nan Fei felt a little relieved when she heard someone mention it.
"Nanxing, the director said he has other things to do and won't be back for a while. It should be about time now." Cen Jiashu glanced at his watch and confirmed again, "Let's set the dishes first. We'll just have to wait for a while."
On the other side, Yan Nanxing came back in more than an hour as he said. He talked and laughed with the eldest brother of the host family all the way into the yard. It was not known what help he had provided, but the eldest brother looked very enthusiastic and excited, and much more relaxed than before.
But Yan Nanxing glanced at the assistant director who was scratching his head and wanted to ask something, and just smiled without saying anything. He walked into the kitchen as if nothing had happened: "I can smell the delicious food from far away, let me try it."
Tang Jingyun smiled and said, "You're the only one missing. Teacher Cen said he learned some local dishes from the boss. Come and try his cooking!"
The kitchen provided by the courtyard is not big, and the square small dining table will inevitably require several people to sit in a row of two. The two ladies sat intimately together, and the remaining three male guests each occupied a side. When Yan Nanxing sat down, he felt the rising temperature beside him. Nan Fei froze, and then silently moved some distance to the other side, but still could not avoid the strong presence.
I had no choice but to pretend nothing happened and eat quietly.
But the feeling beside him was becoming more and more obvious, so obvious that it was difficult to convince himself to ignore it. Suddenly, a tingling sensation passed through his fingertips. Nan Fei was stunned and found that Yan Nanxing's right little finger was resting on top of his left hand.
...It's still too crowded.
Yan Nanxing, who was talking to everyone, suddenly turned his head, as if he hadn't noticed the incident at all, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, Nanfei?"
Nan Fei was distracted and didn't realize what everyone was discussing just now.
"What?"
The people around started laughing, and Tang Jingyun even jokingly said, "Hey, what made our Nan Fei desert?"
Nan Fei's face flushed slightly, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Yan Nanxing came over and rescued him: "Okay, our Nan Fei is the kind of good boy who knows how to work hard since he was a child. Stop laughing at him."
"We were just discussing going to the county town to buy daily necessities. Since the items we need to buy are quite diverse, we might have to go separately." Yan Nanxing had turned most of her body around at this point, one hand on her chin, and smiled at him. "Nan Fei, are you still willing to team up with me?"
