Director Chen strongly opposed their use of electric bikes for transportation:
"The Duke of Zhou is getting old, it's not safe for him to ride an electric bike. What if he gets hurt?"
“I can take Zhou Gong out on an electric bike,” Jiang Hexi argued.
Zhou Gongqi then said, "I am fifty-nine years old this year, and strictly speaking, I can't be considered an elderly person yet."
Director Chen still said with concern:
“Jiang Hexi, last time you almost rode your electric bike into a ditch. Don’t think I don’t know about it just because you didn’t tell me. I said no, and that’s final.”
The living room suddenly fell silent.
Chu Yang stepped forward and said, "I'm a good driver, I'll take you out on my electric scooter."
Zhou Gongqi went to the countryside to experience farming life; he didn't want to be pampered like an old man, only to end up being unable to do anything.
"Director Chen, traffic regulations allow people over sixty years old to ride non-motorized vehicles on the road, so why can't I?"
He pulled out his phone and showed Director Chen the relevant traffic regulations he had found, leaving Director Chen speechless.
As Jiang Hexi inserted the key into the lock and kicked the pedal to leave, Yan Jie blocked her way.
"You almost fell into the ditch while riding your electric bike before?"
"No," she vehemently denied, "Don't listen to Director Chen's nonsense."
"I'm not going to listen to your nonsense."
Yan Jie took the folding helmet, put it on her head, and tied the straps, saying, "Are you coming with me to the wheat field?"
"Duke Zhou is a guest, and Chu Yang cannot properly entertain him alone, so I must accompany him."
After Jiang Hexi put on her helmet, her face became noticeably rounder, and her matter-of-fact gaze was undeniably adorable.
Yan Jie slapped her helmet, knocking down the brim and barely covering her eyes.
"I want to go with the car too."
Jiang Hexi lifted his helmet and quickly found him a car. Chu Yang drove Zhou Gongqi out the door, Chai Fei sat on the back of Yu Xiangwan's car, and even Shen Yingyu got on his bicycle and prepared to go out.
She really wanted Yan Jie to drive the van out, but she didn't dare to ask.
After much thought, this is an intractable dead end.
She moved forward a little and said, "Here, you can sit down."
Yan Jie looked at her hands gripping the handlebars tightly, then at the spacious back seat she had vacated, and sighed helplessly:
"Last time you almost flipped the tractor into a ditch, so don't even think about driving this vehicle. Sit back."
Jiang Hexi was embarrassed by his words. Those dark histories were facts she couldn't refute. Helpless, she had no choice but to obediently sit in the back seat.
Yan Jie hopped on the electric scooter, turned the handlebars, and drove off.
A gentle breeze carried us along, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys of the stone houses, and the air was filled with the aroma of crispy rice crusts.
The electric vehicle caught up with Shen Yingyu's bicycle first.
Yan Jie honked the horn twice, deliberately slowing down to drive alongside Shen Yingyu:
"Can you go any faster? This is already the lowest speed I can go."
"Have you no shame?"
Shen Yingyu looked at Jiang Hexi behind him and teased him, "Aren't you very proud of yourself for giving Xi-mei a ride?"
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been driving so slowly to keep up with you. Let's go."
Yan Jie turned the handlebars, raising dust from the dirt road, and sped the bike away.
Shen Yingyu had to brake, bracing his foot on the dirt road. He shouted at the departing figure, kicking up dust:
"Yan Jie, be careful not to get too cocky. Director Chen wants to have tea with you in the small dark room!"
Jiang Hexi naturally understood the implied meaning in those words. She tugged at Yan Jie's T-shirt, which was billowing in the wind, and said:
“Prince Yan, you have offended Shen Yingyu, don’t drag me down with you.”
"It's too late. You won't get off this bus until you've offended everyone."
Yan Jie quickly caught up with Chu Yang's electric scooter.
He greeted Zhou Gongqi in the back seat, saying, "Zhou Gong, do you see that telephone pole by the canal?"
Zhou Gongqi nodded happily, "I've met you."
“Using the utility pole as the dividing line, the vast wheat field to the east is all our property. Let me show you.”
Before leaving, Yan Jie didn't forget to say to Chu Yang: "Why are you driving so fast? You'll fall and get into a nightmare. You'll be in for it when we get back."
Chu Yang obediently slowed down the car.
As he watched the distance between the two cars widen, he thought to himself, "Who leads the way like this? What's the difference between this and abandoning them?"
Jiang Hexi saw Chai Fei and Yu Xiangwan ahead and excitedly poked her head out. Before she could even say hello, Yan Jie pressed her head back down with one hand.
"Don't do such dangerous things like peeking around. Sit back down properly."
"Then hurry up and overtake them, Wanwan and I have something to say."
Yan Jie sped up and caught up with the electric scooter in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Hexi immediately questioned Yu Xiangwan, "Wanwan, why did you let Gossip Sister sit in the back seat and not let me sit there?"
Yu Xiangwan didn't even glance at her and said, "Don't be so greedy. You're always looking at what's in your bowl while wanting what's in the pot. Don't you already have Yan Wang?"
"That's different."
Jiang Hexi retorted, "I took in Yan Wang, and I worked hard to win you over. Wanwan, you have truly broken my heart."
She patted Yan Jie on the shoulder and said, "Speed up, overtake them, and let them eat our dust all the way behind us."
Yu Xiangwan glared resentfully at Jiang Hexi, watching as the electric scooter sped away, kicking up a cloud of dust, before arrogantly disappearing from sight.
She was forced to slow down and dared not follow them too closely.
While covering her own mouth and nose, Chai Fei also covered Yu Xiangwan's mouth, saying:
"These two are a perfect match, both petty and quick to hold grudges."
Yu Xiangwan: "They should just lock it up already, so it won't cause any more harm to others."
[Oh no! Is Yanxi couple about to meet in real life? Everyone's urging them to get together!]
I thought only netizens were gossiping online, but it turns out the guests on the variety show are also shipping the Yanxi couple.
[Shen Yingyu's side has already sounded the alarm. Wanwan and Gossip Girl are already launching into a massive rant, and Director Chen might even open the door to their private room.]
[Director Chen, if we absolutely have to choose one of the two, the fans strongly demand that the production team kick Xi Mei out!]
[Is the person upstairs joking? Xi Mei contributed 80% of the punchlines and laughs. If Director Chen dares to touch Xi Mei, we're willing to halve the ratings of this farming variety show.]
Jiang Hexi saw the boundless wheat in her own wheat field, its growth so rapid that it had caught up with the wheat in the neighboring field.
"Your Highness, have you seen the wheat in the field?"
"I saw it."
Jiang Hexi said excitedly, "That's the wheat I planted."
Yan Jie: "Yes, you planted it."
Jiang Hexi smiled at him again and said, "That wheat was also planted by you."
