Chapter 15

A Peaceful Feeling

Lu Jinsen took a comfortable afternoon nap. When he woke up, Meng Chuyuan was not back yet.

They had to gather in seventeen minutes. The journey was a little far from their house. If they did not leave now, they would definitely be late.

Could she have already gone to the gathering point?

At the thought of this, Lu Jinsen’s eyes could not help but dim. He felt that he was the one who had been abandoned.

Lu Jinsen walked out of the courtyard unhappily. When he looked up, he saw Meng Chuyuan.

Meng Chuyuan rushed in and did not pay much attention to his expression. She walked up to Lu Jinsen and handed him the heavy bag of sweet potatoes. “Help me get some. My hand is about to give out.”

Lu Jinsen was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he subconsciously reached out to take it from her.

Seeing that she had not abandoned him, Lu Jinsen’s expression brightened a little. He lowered his eyes and looked at the big bag of sweet potatoes in his hand. He asked in surprise, “Where did you get them? Did you buy them?”

Meng Chuyuan felt that his question was a little unintelligent and rolled her eyes at him mercilessly. “Do you think I have the money to buy these now?”

Lu Jinsen suddenly realized that the way he opened up the conversation was wrong. He looked slightly embarrassed and tried to regain some face. “So you went to Jungle?”

[Hahahahaha, Lu Jinsen, so you knew the term Jungle.]

[Am I the only one who noticed Young Master’s subconscious action?]

[Taking it just because he was asked to? When did Young Master become so easy to handle?]

[I can tell. Young Master has been subdued, hahahaha.]

[Maybe Lu Jinsen will have to rely on Sister-in-law to fly this time. Hahaha.]

In the afternoon, the guests’ mission was to help the villagers plant spinach.

The other teams arrived at the rendezvous point punctually at 2:30 p.m., but Lu Jinsen and Meng Chuyuan did not appear.

The director sat in the shed and was obviously getting impatient. He went to look at Meng Chuyuan’s group’s live-stream and found that they were still on their way.

Just as the director was about to flare up, he was surprised to see that Meng Chuyuan’s live-stream was exceptionally lively!

The director was stunned. He thought he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes to take a closer look.

The number of viewers in their live-stream was actually increasing!

Director: What did I miss?

While waiting for them to arrive, the director had been watching the live-stream and had completely forgotten about the guests from the other two groups.

He had been working on this variety show for two seasons. Originally, he thought that the first season’s statistics were already at the peak. He did not expect Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen’s group’s statistics to exceed his expectations and even break the previous season’s live-stream popularity record.

He took out his phone and looked at the trending list. He did not expect that during the lunch break, Meng Chuyuan would go out and become a few more trending searches.

#Abandoned Wealthy Wife Picking Up Trash on a Variety Show#

#How beautiful Meng Chuyuan is without makeup#

#Meng Chuyuan said she doesn’t have a boyfriend, but she does have a husband#

…

The director was surprised by the sudden trending searches. What was even more unexpected was that these trending topics had attracted attention to the variety show. Its effects were exceedingly good.

Seeing the popularity of this live-stream continue to rise, the director’s smile gradually spread across his face, and the fire in his heart inexplicably dissipated.

However, the other two groups of guests were still on standby. The audience in the live-stream could not wait any longer and began to feel emotional.

[Why hasn’t the director come out to announce the process? Is he waiting for those two who are late?]

[Why is the director being biased? Those two people don’t have any team spirit. They’re even late for the variety show… How can the production team tolerate this?]

[I’m speechless. They’re wasting everyone’s time again.]

[How can they make everyone wait for them when they’re already so old?]

[Save me. They can’t do anything right. They ruin everything.]

At the same time…

“Can you walk faster?” Lu Jinsen walked in front. He felt that Meng Chuyuan could not keep up. He was annoyed.

The distance between the two of them was a few meters. Lu Jinsen had already stopped to wait for her, but she was still walking slowly.

Meng Chuyuan replied slowly, “Even if we walk fast, we won’t make it in time.”

In reality, she was already walking very quickly. Her legs were not as long as Lu Jinsen’s, and her strides were not big, so she could not keep up.

Lu Jinsen: “…”

It was hard to disagree. She had a point.

One minute was considered late, and so was two minutes. Since they would be late in the end, why didn’t they make themselves feel better?

Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Lu Jinsen’s heart calmed down. Following Meng Chuyuan’s rhythm, he began to slow down.

[Help! When I see them, I’m reminded of how I was also late for school. But when I saw that someone was late with me, I suddenly stopped panicking. Hahaha.]

[Although that’s true, it’s still not good to be late.]

[Hahahahahaha, this is probably a group that even the director can’t handle.]

[I don’t know why, but looking at Sister Meng gives me a peaceful feeling. Hahahahaha]

[I’m dying of laughter. Whether it’s fighting or getting punished, they’ll do it together, huh?]

Perhaps no one had expected Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen to be so late, making the director and the other guests wait for ten minutes.

However, the director was overjoyed because the viewer statistics for the variety show had increased. He was not angry at them for being late, as if he had already forgiven them in his heart.

When Meng Chuyuan’s team arrived, they did not expect that the mission had yet to begin. They suddenly realized that everyone might be waiting for them to appear, so Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen hurriedly apologized to the four guests and the production team.

After everyone arrived, each group received a hoe, vegetable seeds, a bucket, and were assigned to three vegetable fields of the same size from the villagers.

The first group to complete the planting would receive 40 labor coins. In addition, their dinner would be provided by the production team. The second group would receive 32 labor coins and a portion of seasonal fruits. The third group would receive no additional reward and would only receive 24 labor coins.

Because Liao Jiayan was not feeling well, she applied for half a day’s leave from the production team, so she did not appear in the live-stream. The audience in the live-stream was very curious about the production team’s arrangements regarding the lack of a member.

[Where’s Ke Ke? What about my Ke Ke? She’s alone now…]

[Arrange a helper for Ke Ke, or lighten the workload. I’m begging you.]

[Can the production team be more humane? Look at my Ke Ke. Don’t bully her anymore.]

[Don’t start. We haven’t talked about Ke Ke’s team yet!!]

Unfortunately, the director did not halve her workload just because of Liao Jiake’s special situation. He did not even provide her with any external help.

After the director finished explaining the rules of the mission, Liao Jiake chose a vegetable field without any complaints and began to weed and loosen the soil.

At the same time, Qi Zhen and Qi Yan went to work.

Meng Chuyuan carried a bucket and a small wooden stool in her hand. Together with Lu Jinsen, they went to the furthest piece of land that had not been plowed.

Just as Meng Chuyuan was about to reach the vegetable field, the viewers in the live stream thought that she was going to start working. In the end, she just passed by the vegetable field and went to another place…

Meng Chuyuan walked under the shaded tree, chose a relatively flat bench, placed it on the ground, and sat down steadily.
