Chapter 22 God-like Rescue



"So, who do you want to be paired with?"

Director Chen has given her all the respect she deserves. If she still doesn't understand, then she shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.

Nan Xi stood there and suddenly fell silent, as if she had suffered some great injustice, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Director Chen frowned and asked directly:

"Do you feel the group assignments are unfair, or are you feeling unwell and unable to work in the fields?"

"Or you can tell me who you want to team up with in person."

Nan Xi pursed her lips and said nothing, tears welling up in her eyes, which reddened uncontrollably.

Seeing that it was already broad daylight and there was no time to waste, Director Chen changed his words at the last minute in order to appease this troublesome person:

"Who's willing to switch teams with Nan Xi?"

Yu Xiangwan didn't want to be with Xie Wanyi for even a second longer. She was about to speak when Jiang Hexi beat her to it:

"Director Chen, I'm in a group with the village chief."

"Alright, Village Chief and Xi Mei, Group Four, Nan Xi and Yan Jie, Group Two, hurry up and get to work in the fields."

The eight people split up, with Nan Xi lagging behind. She followed Yan Jie step by step to the big banyan tree.

"You sit here and rest, I'll go plow the field."

"I can't just sit here and do nothing."

Nan Xi pointed to the camera on the PD's shoulder and said playfully, "I have to do something for you, otherwise it wouldn't make sense."

Yan Jie: "You can drive a tractor?"

Nan Xi said weakly, "No."

"Xi-mei can drive a tractor."

Yan Jie said coldly, "But she likes to curl up under this banyan tree and take a nap, wishing she could sleep all day. She's so lazy, but I don't see any netizens in the live stream saying anything bad about her."

“I’m different from Xi Mei.”

Nan Xi's cheeks burned. "If possible, I'd like to go into the cab and see how you plow the fields."

"No need, it's a waste of diesel fuel."

After refusing her, Yan Jie walked towards the tractor in the field without looking back.

[Hahaha, what a waste of gas! This is the funniest reason I've ever heard for refusing a ride!]

【╮(╯_╰)╭, Well, there's nothing I can do, my Yan Wang is just that kind of straight-laced guy.】

[Nan Xi, I was wrong. I shouldn't have threatened to kill you before. Please stay on the show and wait for the King of Hell's wrath.]

Why aren't Nanxi's fans making a fuss anymore? They said the heart-shaped egg was a coincidence before, but now it's stuck to Yan Wang like a piece of sticky candy that won't budge. How do you explain that?

Yan Jie drove the tractor for two hours, but he couldn't take it anymore, so he went to the edge of the field to rest for a while.

A bottle of water was poured over my head, soaking my shoulders, and I felt refreshed all over.

He finished a pot of boiling water and squinted as he saw Nan Xi walking towards him from the sun.

"I fetched half a bucket of water from the stream, do you want to wash up?"

"It's been washed."

Seeing that his T-shirt was still dripping wet, Nanxi put down the bucket and sat down next to him.

"I feel like I can't do anything right."

She suddenly stopped speaking, listened to the rustling of leaves above, and then spoke in a low voice, "Thinking that I don't know anything and can't be a hindrance, and that it's inconvenient for me to get involved in farm work, I got up early to fry eggs for everyone."

Yan Jie sat there in utter agony, glancing around at what the people around him were doing.

"But it still went wrong."

Nan Xi lowered her eyes and said, "How could I be so stupid? It's such a small thing..."

"Jiang Hexi—"

Yan Jie acted as if he hadn't heard her complaints, and started scolding her with the walkie-talkie: "Are you trying to drive the tractor into the ditch?"

Jiang Hexi was inexplicably "called out" on the walkie-talkie across the entire channel. She slammed on the brakes, looked around, and said, "No, there isn't anyone here."

"What would you be doing driving the tractor into that wasteland without me?"

"Turn."

Yan Jie got up and left. He walked to the boundary between the two plots of land, and Nan Xi followed him to the boundary.

"Look behind you, isn't there a ditch in that pile of weeds?"

Jiang Hexi got off the tractor, parted the weeds, and saw that there really was a hidden ditch. She was immediately speechless with anger after being scolded.

How did you know there was a ditch here?

"Professional habits".

What Yan Jie didn't tell her was that, as a professional race car driver, familiarizing himself with every bump and ridge on the track was a must-do before driving, and even now that he was driving a tractor, he couldn't break this habit.

"Where's the village chief? Why isn't he watching you?"

"I was hungry, so the village chief went home to get me some corn."

Jiang Hexi stood on the tractor and looked around, saying, "Where are you? I can't see you. How did you know I was about to fall into the ditch?"

"I can keep an eye on you no matter where I am."

Yan Jie put down the walkie-talkie, crossed half the edge of the field, and walked towards the tractor in the weeds.

Nan Xi stood still and did not follow.

Jiang Hexi was displeased when she saw him stride onto the tractor and sit in the passenger seat like a lord.

What are you doing up here?

"To supervise you as you plow the land."

Yan Jie glanced at her sideways, "The village chief's tractor can't be allowed to be ruined while you're driving it. Drive it."

[Xi Mei's miraculous rescue makes it hard to doubt that Yama (the King of Hell) did it on purpose!]

If I were the King of Hell, I would have suffocated the moment Nan Xi came crawling to me with her cries.

[Does she think she's participating in a dating reality show? Everyone's a farmer, and then suddenly someone shows up trying to flirt; it's really off-putting.]

[Uh, am I the only one who thinks Yan Wang treats Xi Mei differently? He said he can keep an eye on her no matter where he is. Think about it carefully.]
