After finalizing the details with Yan Qiao, Chen Ge began to decide on the guest invitations and the start date for filming the program.
At the same time, the variety show "Urban Paradise" created an account and announced the guests to be invited.
At the same time, everyone realized that the variety show was being held in Yan Qiao's courtyard house.
So, Yan Qiao is going to be on another variety show?
[She's appeared on several variety shows in a row. Didn't she say she was retiring from the entertainment industry?]
Given her current level of activity, retiring from the entertainment industry is probably just talk.
[20 million followers? If I were in their shoes, I'd be out here making money too!]
I remember the persona she marketed before, saying she was going to take the college entrance exam, right? Someone like her, thinking she can even get into university?
[You guys are hilarious! Has Yan Qiao acted? Filmed any commercials? Appeared in any magazines? She only appeared on a variety show to promote her courtyard house, and you guys are making such a fuss about it.]
As soon as this news came out, its popularity surged, sparking numerous discussions.
Opinions are divided on Yan Qiao's appearance on variety shows.
Chen Ge clapped his hands, "I knew it would be the right choice to find Yan Qiao!"
On the very first day the account was created and the news was announced, it gained hundreds of thousands of followers, nearly reaching a million.
This level of popularity is comparable to that of top-tier celebrities in the industry.
Despite some disagreements, overall, people are still looking forward to this variety show.
Yan Qiao has a large fan base, so this show is destined to be very popular.
However, Yan Qiao was undecided after seeing the dissenting opinions online.
"Maybe I should just stop filming and focus on making my own videos, which many people enjoy watching."
Her previous videos about mortise and tenon structures have already garnered over a million likes and remain very popular.
There's absolutely no need to worry about exposure.
Since everyone doesn't want her to appear on variety shows...
Pei Jingzhan reached out and covered the screen, blocking the comments.
"Take the photos if you want, don't worry about what others say. Some people don't support it, but many others like it, right?"
Yan Qiao nodded, "That's true."
These thoughts only flashed through her mind for a moment and left no trace. Yan Qiao quickly forgot about them and turned to her own business.
"I want to tidy up the west wing."
Pei Jingzhan, with his hands in his pockets, said, "Weren't we supposed to put them in the back room?"
To ensure the guests' comfort, Yan Qiao specially purchased furniture.
The bed alone cost nearly 100,000 yuan.
Chen Ge originally envisioned the program as a way for everyone to experience life in a down-to-earth way.
When Yan Qiao showed him the room, the luxurious European-style furnishings made him want to move in!
Is this what you call enduring hardship? You'd think you were staying in a five-star hotel if you didn't know better.
Yan Qiao said, "I want to raise some silkworms."
Pei Jingzhan paused, his face stiffening.
"Silkworm?" Not the kind he was thinking of, the plump, white, wriggling worm.
Yan Qiao nodded, "That's right, raising silkworms, reeling silk, and weaving cloth. Let's experience the process of making silk cloth together."
It's so fulfilling!
Pei Jingzhan's mind was filled with nothing but dense white insects, and he couldn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
"Pei Bingjun, what are you thinking about?"
Pei Jingzhan's tone was complicated: "Can't we just buy something ready-made?"
He could get her any fabric, no matter how rare, as long as she wanted it.
Yan Qiao's eyes were full of disapproval. "How can that be the same? It's all about participation. Watching the silkworms grow little by little, spin cocoons and produce silk, don't you think that kind of experience is novel?"
"Novel." But deadly.
Looking at his forced expression, Yan Qiao asked suspiciously, "Are you afraid of bugs?"
Pei Jingzhan chuckled, "How could that be?"
A man who's always been stubborn.
Yan Qiao smiled radiantly and took his arm.
"Then you can help me feed the silkworms later."
Pei Jingzhan gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed, "Okay."
The layout of the west wing was very similar to that of the east wing where Pei Jingzhan lived.
The thought of such a spacious and bright room being inhabited by a bunch of bugs sent chills down Pei Jingzhan's spine.
"Isn't there another room next to the main house?"
That room was used as a private school in the homes of wealthy families in ancient times, where the family's children would attend classes.
Yan Qiao shook her head, "No, it's too far away, it's inconvenient."
Pei Jingzhan hesitated, then asked, "Have you considered that this place is too close?"
"Putting it in the backyard is fine too."
Yan Qiao shook her head again, "Ying Tiantian's situation isn't settled yet. With so many people coming and going, what if they crush my silkworms?"
Pei Jingzhan remained expressionless; it would be best to crush him to death.
"You're not really afraid of bugs, are you?" Yan Qiao asked curiously.
"Ha, how could that be?" Pei Jingzhan firmly denied it.
Yan Qiao nodded in agreement, "I knew it, silkworms are so cute."
"Cute?" He disagreed with that aesthetic.
Yan Qiao narrowed her eyes, "Isn't it cute?"
Pei Jingzhan's Adam's apple bobbed as he said seriously, "What I mean is, in terms of cuteness, it can't compare to you."
Yan Qiao couldn't suppress her smile, which grew even wider.
"Pei Bingjun, did you read some kind of dating manual? You're so sweet-talking."
Pei Jingzhan shook his head resolutely as Li Qiaofa's "99 Chapters of Love" flashed through his mind.
"I don't need to see that kind of thing."
Yan Qiao pouted, "We really don't need to look, after all, we're not in a relationship yet."
She hasn't even won him over yet.
Ever since she kissed him in the car last time, Pei Jingzhan has been extremely wary of her, much like a respectable woman being harassed by a bully.
We are determined not to let Yan Qiao advance any further.
Whenever this issue comes up, Pei Jingzhan always replies, "You're still young."
"Qiaoqiao, put yourself in my shoes. If I were your parents, I would never let my daughter have a relationship so early."
Yan Qiao retorted, unconvinced, "Mr. Pei Bingjun, I'll be 20 years old after my birthday this year!"
How can it be considered puppy love?
Pei Jingzhan sighed silently; they were still too young.
Yan Qiao was born in October, while he was born in November.
Once November is over, he will be 31.
The 11-year gap between them made it impossible for him to ignore.
"Logically speaking, you're a high school student now, so that means you're in a relationship too early."
If he were to establish a relationship with Yan Qiao at this time, he would be a beast.
For the first time, Pei Jingzhan cherished and loved someone so much that, in his passion, he wanted nothing more than to present her with the best of everything.
Yan Qiao pouted, "Old-fashioned!"
However, she will take the college entrance examination in June, after which she will go to university.
It's not that we can't wait.
Over the next few days, Yan Qiao contacted someone to deliver silkworm eggs and also took the opportunity to learn about silkworm breeding at a base in Yanjiao.
Finally, a batch of unhatched silkworm eggs and a batch of first-instar silkworms were selected.
The base has mulberry leaves specially grown for silkworms, which Yan Qiao can pick herself.
Then she added a swing she made herself to the yard, just the right size for her and Pei Jingzhan to sit on.
The weather in early summer is neither too hot nor too cold.
Sitting on the swing in the yard, I felt so relaxed and leisurely that I drifted off to sleep.
If it weren't for Pei Jingzhan urging her on, always managing to pull out the practice materials when she was slacking off, Yan Qiao would have almost forgotten that she still had the important task of taking the college entrance examination.
She can't neglect her studies; countless people are waiting to see her fail.
