Chapter Seventeen: A Complete Victory in the First Encounter!
After receiving a reply, the villagers drove the water buffalo onward.
Next, Xu Wang and his group saw old-fashioned bicycles and old-fashioned tricycles.
Neither Xu Wang nor Pei Yanchuan chose to get on the bus.
Until a large vehicle drove up from not far away.
A red tractor pulled up in front of the three of them.
Xu Wang counted and found that three vehicles had already passed by, so this fourth one should be the last one.
Pei Yanchuan shared the same thought as Xu Wang.
"Want a ride?" The villager driving the tractor was a friendly uncle who waved and called out enthusiastically before he even got close to the group.
"Yes, sir, we've gotten into your car, is there anything we need to do?" Xu Wang asked with a smile as he saw the car stop in front of him.
"Of course, it's like this. We raise a lot of geese, and they laid a lot of eggs today. But for some reason, Big Yellow got into a fight with our Goose King. So if you ride in my car, you'll need to help me collect the goose eggs." The uncle looked at the three of them with a smile.
"This seems a bit easier." Yunxi said thoughtfully. Compared to cleaning the cowshed, catching fish, and picking corn, this task of collecting goose eggs seemed a bit easier.
Hearing Yunxi's words, Xu Wang looked at him with a complicated expression: "Do you know who Dahuang is?"
"Who is it?" Yunxi asked, her face full of doubt.
"dog."
Yunxi's expression froze.
"Do you know what geese are called in the village?" Xu Wang asked again.
"What?"
"The village bully." Xu Wang smiled and shrugged.
Yunxi swallowed hard.
[My God, just listening to the uncle's description, I can imagine how terrifying that scene must have been.]
[This is purely a war between kings in the village.]
Collecting goose eggs is already quite difficult for beginners, and there's a big yellow dog ahead of you.
[I've been pecked by geese, chickens, and bitten by dogs since I was a child in my hometown; I've been touched by almost everything imaginable.]
[Me too. I've been bitten so many times since I was a kid that I'm terrified of dogs. Now, if I see a dog on the street, I'll definitely take a detour (I'm such a coward).]
………………
Pei Yanchuan had already loaded the two suitcases into the car.
"Get in the car." Pei Yanchuan walked up to Xu Wang and took his hand.
“Okay.” Xu Wang grabbed Pei Yanchuan’s hand and intertwined their fingers.
After the two got into the car.
Yunxi was left still pondering. It seemed that the later the mode of transportation was, the better. Maybe there would be an even better one later?
Yunxi ultimately chose not to get on the bus; he wanted to wait for a better mode of transportation later, perhaps even a sedan.
The villager gave Yunxi a deep look but didn't say anything more. He turned around, got into the driver's seat, and drove away.
It has to be said that it is indeed the best means of transportation; the tractor caught up with the oxcart in front of it in no time.
The oxcart carried Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan, who were the first to set off.
Leng Yifan's face looked terrible, and he covered half of his face tightly with his right hand.
Although Zhong Ran could still manage a forced smile, a closer look revealed the annoyance in the other person's eyes.
When the two saw Xu Wang and Pei Yanchuan sitting on the tractor, their expressions immediately fell.
The two watched the tractor get further and further away.
Leng Yifan couldn't hold back any longer and took out his phone to call someone.
The director, who had just gotten off his electric tricycle in the village, suddenly received a call from his superiors.
"What? Change the car for that guy from the Leng family?" The director was completely bewildered.
The person on the other end of the phone hung up immediately after finishing speaking.
The director stared blankly at his phone: "Damn it! I hate guys who bring their own funding to the project and then cause all sorts of trouble!!!"
"Then how are we supposed to explain this, Director?" The assistant director was also having a headache. This variety show was jointly funded by the Pei family and the Leng family.
“He’s already challenged our rules, why should I give him face? Just say he’s sick, and I’ll quit.” The director took off his baseball cap and threw it on the ground.
The director isn't afraid of the Leng family because his backer is the Pei family. The eldest brother hasn't even started breaking the rules yet, but the second brother is already doing it.
"Understood!" the assistant director said, preparing to handle the situation.
“Wait a minute, since their vehicle has changed, their task has also changed. Let them collect goose eggs too, with each group collecting half.” The director stopped the assistant director who was about to turn around.
"Okay." The assistant director chuckled to himself upon hearing this.
The live stream of Zhong Ran and Leng Yifan suddenly went black.
When the live stream resumed, the two were already on a tractor.
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two people who had gotten into the car halfway through the journey.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Xu and Ms. Pei, but Ms. Leng suddenly fell ill, so she will have to share a ride with you two. But please rest assured, for the sake of fairness in the program, her group's task will be the same as yours." The assistant director's voice clearly entered both live broadcast rooms.
[What's going on? Is Young Master Leng sick?]
[I told you, Ranran wouldn't be unable to take a beating for no reason.]
[That's such a coincidence that this illness occurred...]
The live stream chat instantly erupted into chaos.
Leng Yifan was about to get angry when he heard the assistant director's words, but he had to hold back for now when he remembered his father's warning on his phone.
"It's nothing." Xu Wang sat next to Pei Yanchuan without even looking at the two of them.
For a moment, the entire tractor was completely silent.
Zhong Ran looked at Pei Yanchuan not far away and smiled: "Brother Pei, why did you suddenly decide to participate in this variety show?"
...A flock of crows flew overhead...
Pei Yanchuan turned around, took out a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and gently handed it to Xu Wang's lips: "To moisten your throat."
"Thank you." Xu Wang took a sip of water, following Pei Yanchuan's hand.
Zhong Ran saw this and clasped her hands tightly together.
"Brother Pei?"
"I'm sorry, my husband isn't used to talking to people he doesn't know well. He's participating in this show because we want to have some fun after we got married. Don't you two feel the same way? Oh, I saw on the trending topics before..." Xu Wang looked at Pei Yanchuan nervously, as if he realized he had said something he shouldn't have.
Pei Yanchuan smiled and reached out his right hand to soothe Xu Wang's dark hair.
[If my wife hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this internet meme. It seems the initial reports about Young Master Leng and Zhong Ran checking into a hotel were about it.]
[This is incredibly shocking! In that video, the two weren't even in the room yet, and they were already pressed together.]
[Wow, is this really that exciting? Why didn't I see this video?]
[Let me tell you, upstairs, that's the power of money—it disappears in an instant.]
[Requesting the video!]
[Please don't be so harsh. Ranran said she and Young Master Leng have been dating for two years.]
[Those fans of Zhong Ran are quite pitiful. It seems like just a year ago, Zhong Ran mentioned at a fan meeting for one of his dramas that he was single!]
One sentence shattered the hopes of a small group of Zhong Ran's fans who had just managed to comfort themselves.
