Chapter 117 They made a good life together...
(KK's friendly reminder: KK made a small change to the last paragraph of the previous chapter. Those who saw it early last night can take a quick look back (*′╰╯`))
Xu Wang raised an eyebrow, glancing at the hoe clinging tightly to the ground not far away and the bare stick in Zhong Ran's hand. Oh ho, isn't this awkward?
[What kind of amazing operation is this?]
[Did this digging separate the hoe from the dry tool?]
[If Leng Yifan hadn't been supporting him from behind, Zhong Ran would definitely have fallen over.]
[The ground had only suffered minor damage, but the hoe caused serious injury; this is unbelievable.]
[Hahaha, the MVP award for this game goes straight to Land.]
………………
Zhong Ran looked at the bare stick in his hand, his face turning bright red, and the tips of his two fingers gripping the stick so tightly that they turned white.
Xu Wang didn't spare them much attention; he quickly turned back to Pei Yanchuan to continue their discussion.
The two eventually decided to dig together, and whoever got tired could rest for a while.
Pei Yanchuan planted his hoe on the ground, reached out and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the strong muscle lines on his arms.
Pei Yanchuan's posture was extremely standard; the angle at which he raised the hoe was always the same.
Pei Yanchuan was like a work machine. He kept repeating the same action with a blank expression, but after each action, he would subconsciously glance at the person next to him to make sure that the other person was following before continuing to the next action.
Xu Wang was also quite fast, and he easily kept up with Pei Yanchuan's pace.
The two worked together better and better, and their speed increased. Soon, they had turned over half of the land.
After stopping, Xu Wang stood still and gently wiped the sweat that had slid down his chin.
Pei Yanchuan asked the staff on site for two bottles of mineral water, and he handed them to Xu Wang after unscrewing the caps.
"Thank you so much, you saved my life." Xu Wang couldn't wait to take a big gulp of water after getting it.
Because he drank a little too quickly, some water spilled from the corner of Xu Wang's mouth. The water droplets slid down his chin onto his neck, then into his collar and disappeared.
Pei Yanchuan stood to the side, holding an unopened bottle of mineral water, staring intently at Xu Wang.
After Xu Wang finished drinking, a satisfied expression appeared on his face. He turned to look at Pei Yanchuan beside him and suddenly noticed that the mineral water bottle in his hand was still unopened.
"Yan Chuan, why aren't you drinking?" Xu Wang's voice successfully brought Pei Yan Chuan's attention back.
"Drink now." Pei Yanchuan gently unscrewed the bottle cap with his right hand, lowered his eyes, and took a sip of water.
[I can't take it anymore! This sunlight, this beautiful woman, these rolling water droplets—I just can't resist! My heart is about to jump out of my chest!]
[Xu Wang, you 'thief,' you stole my heart, a heart that beats so hard for you.]
[Gentlemen, I'm going to faint first.]
[Why isn't President Pei drinking water? Of course, looking at his wife is more thirst-quenching, hehe.]
[President Pei watched intently, not blinking, as if afraid of missing a single detail.]
[I was even more captivated than President Pei (though I was unconvinced).]
………………
On another patch of land, Zhong Ran switched to a new hoe that the production team had bought. He tried digging a couple of times but found it a bit difficult.
Because there were stones in the soil, it was very difficult for him to pull the hoe out each time, and his strength was rapidly depleting.
Leng Yifan wasn't much better than Zhong Ran. He had never done any hard work since he was a child. The only thing related to soil was probably the vegetable planting activity organized by the kindergarten or primary school when he was a child. But when he planted vegetables, he just casually loosened the soil with a small shovel and watered it at most.
Just as Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan finished turning over the patch of ground at their feet and looked up together, they saw that half of the ground opposite them had already been turned over.
The two of them stared wide-eyed in disbelief. In the same amount of time, with the same tools, why were they able to finish so quickly?
The cameraman keenly captured the expressions of the two groups of people. After filming, he also took a close-up shot of each of the two plots of land, creating a stark contrast between the expressions of the two groups and the condition of the farmland.
[Same time, same place, same tools, yet two completely different people, how come there's such a huge difference? (doge)]
[Keep it up, Ranran!]
[If Zhong Ran's group were to work in front of my mother, they would definitely receive a look of disdain from her. Don't ask me how I know, because I do a better job than them, I've had that too (bursts into tears).]
[I feel so sorry for the girl upstairs, pat on the back.]
[Sister, quickly record this video. The next time you're doing chores with your mother, if she complains about you again, just throw this video in front of her.]
[Haha, great idea!]
After resting for a short while, Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan picked up their hoes again and started working. They planned to finish quickly and finish early.
In the courtyard of the guesthouse, the other three groups were also doing the work assigned to them.
Jiang Xiubai and Yunxi swept the fallen petals in and outside the yard with brooms. Many of the lower petals had already begun to turn yellow.
Jiang Xiubai looked relaxed, and while he was working, he didn't forget to tease Yunxi.
"Yunxi!"
"Hmm?" Yunxi numbly raised her head.
The moment he looked up, a shower of flower petals came flying at him.
"Phew! Hahaha, you fell for it, didn't you?" Yunxi heard Jiang Xiubai's breathing sound and his triumphant laughter.
This scene would normally be a beautiful one in an idol drama, but the reality was quite 'tragic' on set.
As soon as Yunxi raised his head, he was attacked by flower petals. A few petals fell and stuck to his face, hair, and clothes.
"Pfft!" Yunxi blew away the flower petal from her lips and looked at Jiang Xiubai in front of her with hostility.
Jiang Xiubai had not yet sensed the approaching danger; he was continuing to collect the top layer of clean petals from the ground.
Yunxi gave a forced smile, then clasped his hands together and twisted them from side to side, making a creaking sound between the bones.
"Jiang, Xiu, Bai!" Yunxi felt that he couldn't control his emotions whenever he encountered Jiang Xiubai. Yunxi raised the broom in his hand and rushed towards him.
Jiang Xiubai turned around and was startled. She quickly put down the flower petals in her hand and ran into the courtyard.
"If you've got the guts, don't run away! Jiang Xiubai, you stop right there!" Yunxi angrily raised her broom and chased after him.
"Am I stupid? Why wouldn't I run?" Jiang Xiubai said, quickening his pace once again.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Yunxi had no choice but to stop. He put down the broom and gently tidied his slightly messy hair. He turned to the camera with a smile and said, "That was all an act, not my real personality."
[Hahahaha.]
[Jiang Xiubai, you're just being reckless. You'll regret it sooner or later. (He's always looking for a good show.)]
[I was just about to say, "Yunxi baby, do you still remember what you looked like back then?" when suddenly he pinched it (laughing and crying at the same time)]
[Haha, I just grabbed it without hesitation, without a second thought.]
[The main thing is that if you give Jiang Xiubai a little attention, he'll open a whole row of dye houses for you.]
[That's true, hahaha.]
Gu Yunlan and Qin Huai were cleaning the swing. Gu Yunlan looked at the two 'playing' not far away and said with a fatherly 'gratification': "They are so good. They are living a good life. We can do whatever we want."
Qin Huai looked speechlessly at the man in front of him who seemed to have come up with another dramatic idea: "I don't remember giving you a script for an older character."
Gu Yunlan stopped pretending to wipe away tears as she looked down: "Who's getting old? Ah, who's getting old? I'm only about twenty, okay?"
Qin Huai sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Who rounds up by going backwards?"
"Our family," Gu Yunlan answered loudly and confidently.
"Hurry up and get to work." Qin Huai glared at Gu Yunlan again, speechless.
"Okay, okay."
[This is hilarious! It's amazing how they're doing so well, while we can do whatever we want, hahaha...]
[That's not entirely impossible, though. Quick, are there any directors who're keen on keeping up with current trends coming over here with their scripts?]
[Actor Gu: Thank you all, you bunch of 'haters'.]
[Wow, Gu Yingdi (the actor) has such a strong sense of realism off-screen!]
[It's not that he feels more real off-screen, it's that he feels more real in front of his sister-in-law (don't mind me if you're shipping them).]
