Chapter 43 I only cared about those two hours
The director was watching the comments, and sure enough, with his broadcasting style, almost no one was talking about Nanke.
Longtime viewers, needless to say, have always enjoyed watching Tu Yao.
Now even new viewers are drawn to it, and have come to enjoy Tu Yao's unique way of criticizing Ma Zhiyuan.
During her break, Tu Yao went to check on Ma Zhiyuan's hard work and successfully pulled out a bunch of crookedly planted corn seedlings.
He immediately glared at her dangerously.
"These seedlings you planted don't even need rain; they'll fall over in the wind! Do you even know how to do it?!"
Ma Zhiyuan was inevitably a little guilty, because he had indeed prioritized speed over quality in order to perform well in front of the camera.
"...What are you doing? I've never planted one before!"
"Little girl, why are you so temperamental? You act like a supervisor. You'd be better off with Tu Chaoxi here."
At least Tu Chaoxi couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
Tu Yao said expressionlessly, "Oh, you miss my brother? I'll call him for you now!"
He took out his phone and was actually about to make the call.
Startled, Ma Zhiyuan immediately pounced on him, "Who said I missed him! I'll replant, okay? I didn't say I wouldn't!"
[Teacher Ma, really... Why are you slacking off? You know your sister's watching you.]
After this episode is finished, my younger sister will replace Teacher Tu and become the person Ma Zhiyuan hates the most.
The chat was lively and engaging, which made the director very pleased.
But just then, Nan Ke actually came over on his own initiative!
The director's smile froze instantly.
Sure enough, when I looked at the live stream again, the tide had turned immediately.
[Whoa! Arsonist, it's you!]
director:……
[I almost forgot, my friend at the Yenching Conservatory of Music told me that this guy's name is Nan Ke, and he's the most handsome guy in their school. I heard he really burned down the practice room, and all the sheet music too. His professor was so angry that he had to be hospitalized.]
So, plagiarism is also true?
[Actually, it's not conclusive yet. The other party is his roommate, and the timeline of evidence has been listed. He also seems to have some evidence, but he accused the arsonist before anything was settled, which makes him seem guilty.]
[He can still appear on TV after setting a fire; he must have powerful connections.]
[Tsk, she looks so gentle and kind, how come she doesn't do anything decent...]
What is the director doing? Why did he let someone like that in?!
The director felt a bit short of breath, took a deep breath, and said into the headset, "If the wind doesn't come back, find an excuse to cut off the live stream."
The photographer was immediately prepared.
Tu Yao was about to retort when suddenly another person appeared beside her.
Tu Yao: ?
Nan Ke said quite frankly, "It seems I planted it crookedly too."
Tu Yao: ?
Tu Yao frowned: "Were they planted crookedly?"
Nan Ke nodded: "Quite a lot."
Tu Yao sighed, "Let's go, I'll help you."
Ma Zhiyuan, who had just been scolded for planting crooked corn seedlings: ? ? ?
The live stream was filled with question marks.
What are you doing, little sister? Stay away from him!
[So this is the little sister you all like? She can't distinguish right from wrong. No wonder she's a fan of someone like Tu Chaoxi.]
A bunch of haters immediately jumped in and stirred up trouble in the comments.
Just as the person filming was about to cut off the live stream, Ma Zhiyuan, unable to contain his anger, immediately grabbed her:
"No... he won't help you with the procedure, and you're scolding me just because I can't?"
Tu Yao paused for a second, "Because he helped me move bricks for two hours last night. If I don't help him, who else should I help, Teacher Ma who's making veiled accusations?"
Ma Zhiyuan: ...
Live stream room: ?
The director in the production room: "Wait! Don't cut it yet!"
【What? Bricklaying? Was the arsonist helping his sister lay bricks yesterday?】
Didn't they just meet?
Tu Yao sighed, "He had insomnia last night and wandered around the village until he came to my house. I accidentally spilled a basin of water on him. Later, I invited him to help me with the work, and he helped me build up the ventilation opening in the mushroom house."
[What strange logic! Someone throws water on you, invites you to work, and then you end up carrying bricks for two hours? And this person is actually quite nice?]
[This person is strange; they can start fires, but they can also carry bricks for two hours.]
So why are you all scolding your sister! From her perspective, one is a hardworking and helpful assistant, and the other is Ma Zhiyuan, who's always causing her trouble. Anyone would know who to side with.
After Tu Yao finished speaking, she gestured with her chin. Ma Zhiyuan awkwardly let go of her hand, his anger immediately deflated, and he turned around to go back to farming.
The barrage of comments subsided for a moment.
"Let's go."
Tu Yao continued walking forward.
Nan Ke paused for a moment, then followed.
Following the principle of staying away from areas of scandal, the paparazzi decisively went to follow Ma Zhiyuan.
The two quickly walked to another cornfield. Tu Yao inspected it and was stunned: "Didn't you grow these perfectly well?"
Each seedling was planted straight, and the soil moisture was just right.
Nan Ke did not reply.
He seemed still immersed in what had just happened, and if he wasn't mistaken, this should be seen as a form of defense.
It's strange that I actually received her protection one day.
He chuckled, then his gaze suddenly sharpened: "...What if I had wanted to burn your house down yesterday? Would you still be speaking up for me now?"
Tu Yao was slightly taken aback, looked at him, and then slowly said, "If that's the case, I will speak up for you."
"Because you did help me move bricks for two hours yesterday."
"Even if you're a pyrotechnic demon, you still helped me this once."
Tu Yao became more and more relaxed as she spoke, and shrugged: "At this moment, I'm only concerned about those two hours."
Nan Ke remained silent for a long time.
After a while, she said softly, "...Don't speak so sweetly."
Tu Yao asked with a smile, "Why?"
Nan Ke smiled, because he did not want to waver.
He really wanted to set off a huge fire in front of her.
Ideally, it would be a raging fire, burning away all the past, all the nightmares.
This cornfield is closest to the village entrance, and around it stands a pile of haystacks stored up by all the villagers.
Just light one spot, and a whole bonfire will start...
Unable to get a reply, Tu Yao didn't care and turned around to walk a few steps to check Jiang Yezhong's plot of land.
Nan Ke gazed at her from afar, clutching the lighter tightly through his pocket.
After a while, he finally took it out.
With a very slight "click," the lighter ignited a small flame, ready to burst forth.
But just then, Tu Yao suddenly turned around!
"Wait! I have the second half of what I have to say."
Nan Ke was startled, and his movements faltered for a moment.
Across a cornfield that wasn't too far away, Tu Yao looked at him and said, "I'll help you for those two hours."
He paused, then added, "...But if you really start a fire, I'll immediately pour water on it too."
"Like this!"
She suddenly squatted down and forcefully pried open a hidden switch at the edge of the cornfield!
The next second, before he could light it, a sudden, dense drizzle began to pour up from the cracks in the ground all around, so fast that it instantly soaked through all the haystacks!
It also extinguished the flame that had just started to emerge from the lighter in his hand.
