Chapter 34

Feels like a Platinum player hard-carrying a bronze player

Meng Chuyuan frowned, finding him a little strange.

However, she did not intend to ask further. She said in relief, “Forget it. You don’t say anything good anyway.”

Lu Jinsen opened his mouth and was about to defend himself, but Meng Chuyuan had already retracted her gaze and did not take him seriously. She continued working.

He felt that Meng Chuyuan had completely ignored his existence. This made him feel very embarrassed. He felt like he had brought contempt upon himself and left.

It was already past eight o’clock when the other two groups returned from town. On the way back, no one spoke much. Nobody knew if it was because they were tired or what, but they sat together in the car as if they were strangers.

Qi Yan had completely refused to communicate with anyone. Before getting into the car, she had already put on her hoodie. After getting into the car, she chose a seat by the window and crossed her arms before closing her eyes to rest.

Among the people present, Qi Yan was the oldest. Her aura had always been very strong, as if she was born with the demeanor of a leader. When she was easy to talk to, she could be like a warm little sun, but when she did not speak, she could easily instill fear in others.

Liao Jiake looked very reserved as she sat beside her. She didn’t even dare to look at Qi Yan.

“I’m sorry to have made you wait for so long.” If it weren’t for the driver occasionally speaking up to liven up the atmosphere, they might have remained silent the entire way.

Liao Jiake said softly, “It’s okay.”

“Are you guys here to record a variety show? I know this place…”

The driver knew that they were filming a variety show here and even took the initiative to introduce the local delicacies and fun places to them. However, Liao Jiake and the rest only smiled and did not say anything.

“Why aren’t you guys talking? This makes me seem like such a chatterbox.” The driver probably felt that he was talking too much. He smiled awkwardly and felt a little embarrassed.

Qi Zhen was afraid that the driver would misunderstand, so he smiled and explained, “No, we’re just a little tired.”

“I see.” The driver tactfully shut his mouth and focused on driving. He did not disturb them anymore.

Qi Yan was indeed quite unhappy today, so she gave off an oppressive feeling.

Ever since their team was assigned to the chicken farm in the morning, in order not to embarrass herself in front of the live-stream cameras, Qi Yan had been patiently cleaning up. Initially, she thought that this afternoon’s mission would be easier, but Qi Zhen wanted to create new variety show content. In the end, they ended up eating instant noodles on the streets at night.

—

In the early morning, the entire village was shrouded in a thin morning fog. Birds chirped on the branches, and the sun gradually rose from the East Mountain, scattering the hazy fog in the beautiful countryside.

Everyone woke up exceptionally early today. After washing up, they packed their luggage.

At 7:30 in the morning, the director gathered three groups of guests at the supply station to enjoy their last breakfast in the village.

On the way to the gathering, Meng Chuyuan brought the osmanthus pine cakes and red bean glutinous rice cakes that she had made last night and left.

Lu Jinsen looked at Meng Chuyuan’s actions and frowned in confusion. He could not help but remind her, “We’re going for breakfast, you’re not supposed to bring breakfast.”

“Who said I brought it for food? I’m going to bring it to the Grandpa and Grandma from yesterday and return their cart to them.”

They would pass by the old man’s house when they went to the supply station later. They could send the small cart and pastries to them.

[This young master is quite humorous. Did he think that Sister Meng was as stupid as him? Why would she bring breakfast with her such a long way from home??]

[Young Master has a hundred thousand questions. Shut up, hahaha.]

[Sister Meng has never met such a stupid teammate that she has to explain everything to.]

[I feel like I’m watching a platinum player hard-carry a bronze player.]

[Wuwuwu, Sister Meng is so considerate. She’s still thinking about the old grandpa and grandma. I’m so ashamed of my inferiority. I’ll call my grandma now.]

When Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen arrived at their house, they happened to see them eating breakfast in the courtyard.

“Grandpa, Grandma, we’re here to return your cart.” Meng Chuyuan was carrying two boxes of pastries. Lu Jinsen pushed the cart into the courtyard and found a suitable spot to place the cart.

When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, “Why are you up so early? Have you eaten breakfast? Sit down and eat with us.”

They did not expect Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen to arrive so early.

Meng Chuyuan declined politely. “We’ll be going out to eat in a while.”

She actively walked over and placed the bag of pastries on the table beside them. She said gently, “Grandpa, Grandma, these are some pastries we made last night. Remember to heat them up.”

The old granny said, “If you’re coming over, just come. Why did you bring these things over?”

“It’s only right. Thank you for lending us all those items yesterday.”

The old man was pleased to see Meng Chuyuan. He even specially went to find a chair for them to sit on. “Child, come and sit here. Don’t stand.”

“We’re in a hurry. We’re leaving now. Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. Goodbye.” With that, Meng Chuyuan looked up and gave Lu Jinsen a look. The two of them left tacitly.

The old granny watched them leave reluctantly. “Then come again next time when you have time…”

Meng Chuyuan did not tell the old man that this was their last day filming the variety show. She was afraid that it would ruin their happy mood. Moreover, she was not the kind of person who could accept parting scenes.

When she came out of the old man’s house, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, and a faint worry appeared on her face.

[Oh my god, I’m about to cry. Grandma’s last sentence broke my defense.]

[Is there sand in my eyes? This part is making me cry. Why?]

[The old granny’s eyes were filled with tears.]

[I don’t know why, but I feel that there’s a story about Sister Meng because she’s too calm. She’s so calm that it makes my heart ache.]

[Sister Meng left so quickly because she was afraid she couldn’t keep it together.]

[I guess only that big fool Lu Jinsen doesn’t know what happened.]

Today’s breakfast was more sumptuous than the first time.

The production team had prepared spicy soup for the guests, mutton buns, soy milk, and scallion pancakes.

Today’s recording would only end in the afternoon, so they still had to do missions after breakfast.

While they were eating breakfast, the director came out to explain today’s programme. “Everyone, we have to go to school after breakfast to help the canteen prepare lunch for the children. If anyone has any questions, you can ask.”

Everyone ate their breakfast in silence. No one responded.

Only Lu Jinsen frowned when he heard that he had to prepare lunch for the little children. He looked up at the director and asked in confusion, “Does assisting the canteen mean that we have to cook for the little children?”

When the director heard this, he said seriously, “We can’t rule out this possibility. We’ll just listen to the arrangements later.”

Lu Jinsen: “…”

[Turns out that the fearless young master has time when he is afraid too.]

[Is Young Master starting to worry that his culinary skills are not presentable?]

[I still remember his expression when he ate the fried egg yesterday. Hahaha, I took a screenshot and saved it. I really smile every time I see it.]

[Forget it. His skills are not even good enough to cook pig food. How can he cook for the students? Isn’t that ridiculous?]
