The night seemed to have grown darker.

Yu Guo felt like a small boat drifting in the surging waves. Tang Zhishen's big palm was the rudder that controlled her fate. Wherever his hand went, her heart fell to the ground.

In his daze, Yu Guo's remaining rationality told her that he seemed to have forgotten something important …

Something flashed past her mind, and when she thought of something, she immediately reached out and pushed Tang Zhishen away.

Tang Zhishen did not realise at all that she had pushed him away. Due to her emotions, her flawless white face was dyed with a thin layer of red. There was a rare look on his face.

Yu Guo took the chance and struggled out of his arms, jumping onto the ground.

"No, no, the bed is not clean! "There were some rats in the room. I wonder if they crawled into the bed …"

When he thought of this possibility, Yu Guo immediately felt that there seemed to be something on the bed he had just laid on. She shook her body, afraid that she would come into contact with something unclean.

Seeing Yu Guo's pale face, although it was because of a mouse, it was still enough for Tang Zhishen to react.

After adjusting his breathing a few times, he managed to restrain the restlessness within his body.

He almost lost control of himself …

A moment later, he regained his frigid expression. Although he was still half lying on the bed, his whole body was emitting an aura that prevented strangers from approaching him.

He paused for a moment, stood up straight and said to Yu Guo:

"My room is next door. You can sleep in it."

Hearing his words, Yu Guo was so dazed that he forgot about the mouse.

What the hell? I was mentally prepared to give my life, yet you told me to wash up and sleep?

If Tang Zhishen's previous reaction did not fool them, Yu Guo would have suspected that he was in trouble. Who would step on the brakes at such a high speed?

She quickly moved closer to Tang Zhishen, wanting to find out what he meant.

"What do you mean, I'll sleep in that room, but what about you?"

Once again, the aura she had just adjusted was disturbed. Tang Zhishen turned his body slightly to the side, concealing his loss of self-control.

"I'll sleep here."

"I... I didn't mean to. I just felt that the bed wasn't clean.

Yu Guo did not realize how "hungry" she sounded, she looked at Tang Zhishen anxiously.

What a joke, they finally managed to get Tang Zhishen to sleep so well, how could they let the duck that was already cooked fly away?

Tang Zhishen's brows fiercely jumped, and his cold eyes swept past her.

When Yu Guo saw the cold look in his eyes, he could not help but shiver.

How cold! Why does it feel like I've become a different person all of a sudden?

Her voice gradually became weaker. "Didn't I say it for you …"

Saying that, he glanced at Tang Zhishen and continued to stroke his tiger beard fearlessly.

"Such a good day and such a beautiful night, what a rare good day …"

Tang Zhishen's face became darker and darker. Seeing that he was about to get angry, Yu Guo lowered his head and did not dare say anymore.

"You can either sleep next door or come back with me tonight and choose one yourself."

The thin lips that had previously been in love with her were now speaking cold words in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, okay?" Yu Guo curled his lips and unwillingly squatted down to pack his luggage.

"I'm right here, what can I do for you?" "Don't bother others anymore."

Tang Zhishen stressed the word "others", and looked at the neighboring room with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

Yu Guo secretly rolled her eyes at him. This proud and pampered ghost was clearly jealous, but she still didn't admit it, humph!

After hastily packing up, Yu Guo moved to the room next door. Tang Zhishen helped her put down her things and left.

Yu Guo looked at the identical room, and wanted to cry but had no tears.

How did she know if this room had been slept in by a mouse!?

Finally, Yu Guo turned over the blanket in the room and covered it with the blanket, using it as a blanket on the bed. In the village during the summer and the cool night air, Yu Guo wrapped himself in a thin coat and spent the night.

The next day.

Zhang An had promised to go out at 7 PM and he woke up before 6: 30 PM.

Because he slept rather late last night and was worried that rats didn't sleep well, Yu Guo felt dizzy when he woke up.

At five minutes to seven, she pushed open the door. He did not expect that the person standing at the door would be Tang Zhishen. He was dressed neatly, obviously waiting for a while.

Yu Guo was very surprised, "Why are you still here? Don't you need to hurry back to the station to work? "

Tang Zhishen's eyes narrowed, a dangerous signal flashed past them, "What, you really want me to leave?"

Yu Guo's heart skipped a beat, he thought that something was wrong and hurriedly saved the situation, "How could that be? Aren't I just concerned about you? "

Only then did Tang Zhishen let go of his brows, "This is not something you should be concerned about." As she spoke, she raised the bag in her hands, gesturing for her to accept it.

Yu Guo received it and opened it to see. He discovered that it was breakfast and was pleasantly surprised, saying in a raised voice, "Breakfast? Where did you buy it? "

Tang Zhishen did not reply, and only gestured for her to enter the room.

Zhang An and I have an appointment to meet up at 7: 00 PM. When Yu Guo thought about this, he immediately went to find Zhang An.

Tang Zhishen's face darkened, "Ignore him."

"How can that be? At least he and I are partners, right? " Just as he was about to retort, Tang Zhishen immediately pushed him into the room.

In the end, Yu Guo could only send Zhang An a message explaining the situation and delay their departure.

It was already half past seven when the two of them finished their breakfast in their room and went out together.

Yu Guo and Zhang An stood at the door of the guesthouse, intending to go to the village they went to yesterday afternoon to check out the situation.

Tang Zhishen drove the car over and stopped in front of them. He said lightly: "Get in."

Although he was confused, Yu Guo still called Zhang An over to get on the carriage.

After getting on the car, Yu Guo saw how calm and collected Tang Zhishen looked while driving the car, and did not seem to have any intention of leaving.

Therefore, she honestly expressed her confusion to Tang Zhishen: "Director of Television, are you taking a vacation, or are you worried about our work? They even followed him. "

Tang Zhishen looked at her with his long and narrow eyes and spoke coldly: "The inspection."

Being choked by his words, Yu Guo shut her mouth resentfully.

When they were almost to the Shuishui Village, Yu Guo opened the car window and observed the surroundings.

As soon as she opened the window, she caught a sharp whiff of something strange. There was a kind of fermenting smell in the air, sweet and greasy, as if some kind of fruit had rotted away.

"Do you smell it?" She looked at Tang Zhishen.

Seeing that Tang Zhishen was frowning and his expression became serious, Yu Guo was even more certain of his guess.

When the car drove past a mountain road, the scene before them confirmed Yu Guo's guess.

Peach trees that covered the mountains.

It was now the season for peaches to mature and go on the market. Most of the fruit that should have been sold in the season was left on the tree, but no one picked it. The rain and the sun, coupled with the moth-eaten birds, were already beginning to rot.

Because there were so many peach trees, it covered almost the entire village. Thus, the smell it gave off was exceptionally strong.

Yu Guo and the others quickly entered the village to find out the reason.

But when they got out of the car, the strange thing was, there seemed to be no one left in the village.

There were only a few old people standing guard at the door of the shabby house, looking at the stranger with dull eyes.

From these elders, Yu Guo found out that because the Xiushui Village was located in a remote area and was relatively isolated, its economy had always lagged behind other villages.

One day, a few business-like people came in from outside. After strolling around the village for a few days, he said that the soil and water sources of Xiushui Village were very suitable for growing peaches. They peddled peach seedlings to the villagers and promised that when the peaches ripened, they would be responsible for buying all the peaches.

In order to win the trust of the villagers, they brought with them some machines that looked very advanced and taught them how to grow peach trees.

After a while they pretended to build factories and encouraged the villagers to invest. He also promised the villagers that when the factory opened up, they would not only be able to work in the factory, but they would also be the owner.

In order to get rich and change the current situation, the young villagers trusted the merchants who came from the outside. They ordered the villagers to turn the farmlands and mountains into peaches.

As a result, when the peach was about to mature, those merchants could not be found.

A large number of peaches had been left on the tree to rot from the lack of market. Not only was it emitting a strong stench, it was also filled with mosquitoes and ants.

The villagers were extremely anxious and tried to think of a way to sell the peach. However, due to the inconvenience of transportation and the poor preservation methods, many peaches became soft and dry due to the high temperature on the road. By the time they were transported to a big city, they would no longer be able to be sold.

Peach grown at the expense of their family's wealth, in the end, they couldn't even earn a single penny back.

Since the farmland had been completely transformed into a peach forest, and since the villagers didn't have much work to do, their lives soon became difficult to sustain. Thus, they had to go out to find a way out. Those old people who were reluctant to leave their homeland remained alone in the village.

Feng City was the closest to Xiushui Village, so it was naturally the first choice for the villagers to move to another village.

After Yu Guo finished conversing with the elders, it was already close to noon.

After a simple lunch, they decided to go to the village peach forest to check out the situation.

As Yu Guo walked, he turned his head and whispered with Zhang An.

"Have you filmed the questions we just interviewed?"

"Mm, don't worry. We'll be able to use it when we go back and cut it." Zhang An replied gently.

Although the relationship between Yu Guo and Director of Television was a little unclear, but from Zhang An's observation, the two of them did not feel like lovers, which allowed Zhang An to somewhat regain some hope.

As long as the relationship isn't finalised, he still has a chance, right?

Well, that's good." We'll go around a few places and take some pictures later. " After working together for a period of time, Zhang An was very clear that once he started working together, it would be a little different from usual. He looked much calmer than before, a huge contrast from her cute appearance.

But he believed that this was precisely where Yu Guo's unique charm came from, so when he looked at Yu Guo, his eyes were filled with unconcealable appreciation.

Yu Guo was thinking about how to report this news, so he didn't pay attention to Zhang An's special gaze at all.

Tang Zhishen, who was at the side, had gloomy eyes, and his expression was gradually turning ugly.
