Chapter 229 Slacking off
A huge amount of breakfast was prepared, and there were plastic bags and gloves on the coffee table, which Ye Jingke had specifically instructed us to provide.
There was a stack of drawn talismans on the table. Cheng Ai put them into her crossbody bag and sat down to eat.
Lu Hanmo had business to attend to at his company and left home early.
After finishing their meal, Ye Jingke and Cheng Ai packed up all the untouched steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and sandwiches, and used a teleportation scroll to return to Lantern Village.
Grandpa Zhang's courtyard was bustling with activity. The photographer brought in a tent, and the guests stood by the vegetable garden, drooling.
Xie Qing looked up at the sky and sighed, clutching her stomach and complaining bitterly, "Instant noodles and fruit are not filling at all. This variety show is terrible. I want to go home."
Liao Yunyan glanced at her disdainfully and craned her neck to peer into the room.
Why isn't Brother Ke awake yet? Could it be that he's exhausted from having sex with Cheng Ai last night?
With such a harsh environment, it shouldn't be that bad, right?
Zhong Zheyi bent down, picked up the scissors, and suggested, "The cornfield should be almost harvested today. How about we get some chives to fill our stomachs?"
Nanchuan disagreed, saying, "Lantern Village is a bit eerie; you'd better not cause trouble."
Liao Yunqing crossed his arms, looking arrogant. "Don't we have Cheng Ai's talisman? What are we afraid of?"
After saying that, he snatched Zhong Zheyi's scissors and began cutting the chives with a snip-snip motion.
At 10:00 AM sharp, the live broadcast started. The sky was getting dark, with large patches of dark clouds obscuring the sun and blocking out the light.
[A day apart feels like three autumns; I was so lonely yesterday because it didn't air.]
[Regarding the fact that I got the first comment but don't know what to say.]
What are these people standing there for? Are they all just watching Young Master Liao fleece the people?
The weather is so gloomy and depressing!
Where are Night Emperor and Xiao Ai Ai? They're nowhere to be seen!
At first glance, Nanchuan and Angel Brother are still the most handsome!
Putting aside his character, Young Master Liao is quite good-looking.
Ye Jingke was completely unaware of what was happening in the courtyard, because he was helping Cheng Ai braid her hair.
In a short while, the two appeared in front of everyone carrying four plastic bags.
Xie Qing's eyes widened, and she immediately rushed forward to catch it. "Wow, Sister Ai, you're amazing! You've conjured up breakfast again!"
She eagerly picked up a steamed bun and took a big, boastful bite.
Nan Chuan and Zhong Zheyi exchanged a glance, thanked each other, and started eating.
Liao Yunqing threw away the scissors and chives, wiped his hands on his pants, and pulled Liao Yunyan into the crowd.
"Ha, what a loser!" Qin Meilian muttered under her breath, but eventually couldn't resist the hunger and joined the group.
What's going on? Little Ai'ai conjured up breakfast again! The key word is "again!"
[Young Master Liao is so wasteful! He just threw away the chives like that?]
Ye Jingke handed a bag of steamed buns and a bag of sandwiches to Wang Huan, saying, "You two share them. If it's not enough, I'll figure something out."
Wang Huan was moved to tears, immediately put down the camera, and ate with the other five photographers.
[Waaaaah, Brother Ye is so kind; he even remembers the staff.]
[Move the camera a bit! What's the point of always shooting the ground?]
After finishing breakfast, the group strolled leisurely towards the cornfield.
Along the way, Ye Jingke distributed gloves to prevent people from hurting their hands.
The male guest cut the corn stalks very quickly, and the female guest couldn't keep up even when she tried her best to peel the corn.
Cheng Ai wiped the sweat from her face, panting as she looked around. The sky was overcast, muggy, and windless, showing no signs of winter approaching.
She looked at Ye Jingke, whose movements were extremely efficient, cutting one slash after another without any hesitation.
Cheng Ai turned her head, glanced at Liao Yunyan behind her, and coldly curled the corners of her lips.
She lowered her eyes and started peeling corn. Liao Yunqing and Ye Ye were evenly matched, and she needed to catch up quickly.
Time flies, and three hours have passed in the blink of an eye.
Cheng Ai didn't provide lunch anymore, since everyone had eaten quite a bit for breakfast.
[No way, no way, the guests aren't going to be working in a cornfield all day, are they?]
Weren't they supposed to be helping the villagers make lanterns? How did they end up doing farm work?
[Yawning, so sleepy, so bored, I'd rather not do a live stream.]
Falling asleep to the sound of Brother Ye chopping corn stalks is quite atmospheric.
Nanchuan and Lianlian are working together flawlessly; barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will definitely be the first to complete the mission!
[Qingqing is so lame, she's been left far behind by Xiao Zhong.]
[There's someone even more useless, look at Liao Yunyan.]
[I feel sorry for Ye Yingdi for a minute; his partner was too incompetent, so there was nothing he could do.]
Finally, Xie Qing couldn't hold on any longer.
She stretched her limbs, then listlessly walked over and sat down next to Cheng Ai. "Sister Ai, you're skilled in mystical arts. Do you have any talismans that can peel corn instantly? I'd like to buy one."
Cheng Ai was taken aback, then smiled faintly, "Everyone is exhausted, it's not very nice for you to slack off, is it?"
"But I've already paid for it!" Xie Qing tugged at her clothes and shook them gently. "Sister Ai, please, I'll follow you on Weibo after I leave Lantern Village, okay?"
[Why is Qingqing talking like this? It's like Xiao Ai Ai needs fans.]
[I've gone from being a fan to a neutral observer. I used to really like her, but now I'm just grateful I'm not criticizing her.]
Cheng Ai's expression remained unchanged, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "One million, will you buy it?"
"What? One million?" Xie Qing raised her voice, her face full of disbelief. "It's just peeling a few ears of corn, how can it be so expensive?"
Cheng Ai slightly lifted her eyelids and asked with amusement, "Yeah, it's just a few ears of corn, why don't you peel them yourself?"
She paused for a moment, then added, "Also, I'm an artist with Shengding International, and the official girlfriend of Night Emperor. Do you think I need your attention?"
It wasn't that Cheng Ai was deliberately trying to stir up trouble; it was just that Xie Qing was too annoying.
During the spinning wheel game, she deliberately helped a guest who had fallen, in order to get screen time.
When doing farm work, she always complained of being tired, hot, and having sore hands, which drew concern from others.
During the meal, she tried to eat quickly and chewed slowly, deliberately delaying their trip to the cornfield.
Lantern Village is not peaceful. Everyone is trying their best to do what Chen Gu asked them to do, except for Xie Qing, who is slow, careless and irresponsible, and really annoying.
I have to give a shout-out to Liao Yunyan here. Although she works slowly, she never stops and never complains, which Cheng Ai greatly admires.
Speechless, Xie Qing swallowed her anger and left, returning to her seat to continue peeling corn.
[Haha, well done, Ai'ai! I hate weak, delicate girls the most.]
Although Ai Bao'er is a bit arrogant, it's hard for me not to support her.
At three o'clock, all the corn stalks in Ye Jingke's field were cut down.
He straightened up, strode towards Cheng Ai, and silently began peeling corn.
Wow, what an amazing boyfriend! He spoils me so much!
No wonder the Night Movie Emperor was working like a madman on the farm; he was trying to help Xiao Ai Ai!
Cheng Ai and Liao Yunqing aren't far apart. Ye Jingke should use his time to help Liao Yunyan instead.
