Chapter 291 Extra Chapter 8: Back to Modern Times 8



The variety show that You Qing chose is called "Returning to Rural Life".

The name is blunt and easy to understand.

The location was set in a scenic spot. Youqing only knew that the people coming included a movie star, a singing god, a talented actor, and a young heartthrob, but she didn't know exactly who they were.

It's said that the production team wanted to maintain some kind of mystery.

Youqing didn't care. The original owner of this body hadn't made any enemies in the circle, so it didn't matter who it was.

Accompanying PD: "Ms. Shu, what are your aspirations for the future?"

Youqing: "I just hope we don't have to worry about food and drink."

The production team said that everyone should just come and eat, drink, and relax, but who knows what the actual situation is!

Nowadays, variety shows love to make celebrities look pitiful and disheveled. There's no way around it; the audience likes to watch it.

The accompanying PD smiled guiltily upon hearing this and continued with the next question: "Does Teacher Shu have any requirements for her partner in the near future?"

That's a rather tricky question. She's probably the lowest-profile person here. Asking her if she has any requirements for the other guests is risky. If she dares to say anything, she'll be torn apart by the other guests' fans when the show airs.

However, this question is not unanswerable.

"Didn't your production team say that we were here to have a vacation and relax? What are your requirements for food, drinks and entertainment?"

She avoided answering questions, and the accompanying PD had no choice but to keep asking. Youqing answered perfectly, leaving no room for the production team to edit the footage maliciously.

The accompanying PD was surprised that a minor celebrity could answer so tactfully, so he didn't press the matter further.

After getting off the plane, we got into the production crew's car. The car slowly drove from the big city to a sparsely populated area, becoming more and more remote. However, there were more and more trees and the sky became bluer and bluer. After sitting in the car for nearly three hours, we arrived at our destination, a small village, at noon.

Reaching the village wasn't the final destination; we still had to walk a bit further.

This is a narrow path; it's not exactly a dirt road, but it's so narrow that cars can't drive in, so you have to walk.

Youqing got off the bus, took her luggage, and then started walking inside.

A male staff member accompanying them on the way even said, "Teacher Shu, would you like me to get one for you?"

Youqing brought two boxes with her.

As a female celebrity, clothes, cosmetics, and skincare products are indispensable. She didn't grow up drinking dew, so of course she needs to take care of herself. She tried to keep these things to a minimum, but it still took her more than one suitcase. In addition, she was worried that the production team might cause some trouble, so she also brought some hot pot base and various seasonings, just in case. Whether she would need them or not, it was better to have them than not to have them when she needed them.

So she brought two suitcases and one backpack.

Youqing refused. Although it wasn't light, the suitcase was a push-pull type, so it didn't take much effort.

After walking for about four or five minutes, we arrived at our destination.

It's an ordinary farmhouse courtyard, but it looks quite large. The production team decorated it to look rather cozy, making it a good place for retirement.

When she arrived, just as she was about to knock, the door opened, and someone was already there.

The person in front of her was very young, and Youqing felt unfamiliar with him; she wasn't particularly familiar with people in the entertainment industry.

Youqing: "Hello, my name is Shu Youqing, and I am an actress."

The boy quickly introduced himself: "Hello, Teacher Shu, my name is Wang Haoyao, and I am a singer and dancer."

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Are you home alone?

Wang Haoyao nodded: "I arrived early, and I'm all alone."

As Wang Haoyao spoke, he offered to carry Youqing's suitcase. Youqing didn't refuse; refusing at this time wouldn't be a good thing.

The two of them went inside, each carrying a suitcase.

The two talked for a while and soon became familiar with each other. Wang Haoyao changed his address to Youqing from Teacher Shu to Sister Youqing, and Youqing changed her address to Wang Haoyao from his name to Haohao.

If this was Wang Haoyao's own request, saying that everyone he knew called him that.

After living together for a while, Youqing stopped being so polite.

Wang Haoyao has just come of age and is still very young, but there's no need to worry about any rumors between them; they do have a strong sibling-like relationship.

I put my things in the house, and as soon as I came downstairs, I heard some noise.

The person who came was Ye Yongzhou, a movie star. Ye Yongzhou is almost fifty years old this year. He is refined and easy-going. He can play a scholar and an upright official, an emperor and a powerful minister with an overwhelming aura, and even a treacherous and cunning villain and a murderer.

In conclusion, Ye Yongzhou is a well-known actor in the industry. When people mention him, they think of high-quality dramas. He has a very good reputation and is well-liked by the public.

Youqing had seen his films, and naturally respected such an artist, so she greeted him very politely.

Ye Yingdi is indeed very easygoing. When he's not acting, he looks just like an ordinary person. He also has high emotional intelligence, and we quickly hit it off.

With Ye Yongzhou around, there's basically no need to worry about awkward silences.

It's almost noon, and everyone is hungry after the journey. We thought the production team would provide food since not all the guests had arrived, but they told us to fend for ourselves.

Honestly, Youqing didn't expect this either; the production team is too cunning.

Not only that, the production team also forbade them from using the money they brought with them.

"There's a vegetable garden in the back; you can pick whatever you want to eat."

Ye Yongzhou frowned at the director: "I can't keep eating vegetarian food forever!"

While celebrities do maintain their figures, they mostly control their weight through a reasonable diet rather than actually abstaining from meat, as this would be too much for their bodies to handle.

The director immediately said, "Don't worry, Teacher Ye, we won't let you eat vegetarian food all the time. There are chicken farms, duck farms, goose farms, and fish ponds in the village. There are fish and crayfish in the fish ponds, and there are also pig farms in the village."

Youqing frowned upon hearing this. Would the production team really be so kind?

As Youqing expected, the director continued, "These are all animals that the villagers have worked hard to raise. If you want to eat them, you can exchange them for labor. How much you can get depends on your ability."

Now that there's internet access everywhere, this place, though remote, isn't deep in the mountains. Some villagers can recognize celebrities. In reality, the villagers certainly wouldn't make things difficult for them. But in this situation, the director must have given the villagers a heads-up beforehand; their task probably won't be so easy to complete.

Sure enough! It's all a routine. They said we'd come over for food and drinks, but what happened? We did get to eat and drink, but we had to prepare the food and drinks ourselves.

The director slapped him, then immediately offered a sweet treat: "Today is the second day. Our production team has prepared two pounds of pork and a chicken. These are free and can be used as you please."

After he finished speaking, the director had someone bring them chicken and pork.

Knowing they could only rely on themselves, the three of them started to work together. There were five guests in total, three of whom had already arrived, and two more were yet to come.

Ye Yongzhou asked, "When will the other two arrive?"

The director said, "The other two guests' flights were delayed and they won't arrive until this afternoon."
