The Last Guest
“I’ve always woken up so early at home. I wake up early and my mind is clear. Only at this time can I calm down and read a few books.” Yu Miao smiled shyly as she spoke.
Actually, she just hadn’t eaten her fill yesterday, and the bed here was very hard. She was pampered and couldn’t sleep at all.
Yu Su was speechless in her heart. These words were obviously meant for the audience and Xiao Han to hear. On one hand, she was humble, and on the other hand, she was showing off her excellence. She was preparing to set up her image as someone who was educated. Moreover, wasn’t she having an ambiguous relationship with Ye Chang? Why did it seem like she was interested in Xiao Han?
However, Yu Su only complained in her heart and did not really retort. After all, there were some things that could only be done once or twice. It was fine if they were reasonable, but if she criticized her now, it would affect her reputation. Hence, she decided to leave and walk around to see if she could find anything to eat.
As for Xiao Han, he saw that Yu Miao was getting closer and closer to him while Yu Su wanted to leave. However, at this moment, a faint stench became clearer as Yu Miao approached. He hurriedly took a big step back.
“Don’t come near me first. Um, do you want to take a shower first?”
Yu Miao froze on the spot and her face quickly turned red.
She quickly lowered her head. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she did not dare to really cry.
“Don’t mind me. My nose is more sensitive,” Xiao Han said.
It was impossible for him not to know about the argument between Yu Miao and Shen Chun yesterday. Although he didn’t like Yu Miao, he wasn’t someone who made things up out of nothing. He wouldn’t maliciously attack a girl for no reason. This meant that the smell of the fertilizer was really still lingering.
Yu Su tried her best to hold back her laughter. She liked Xiao Han’s honesty very much.
In the end, Yu Miao could not hold on and ran back to her room in shame.
“You really don’t know how to be gentle with women. Aren’t you afraid that her fans will attack you?” Yu Su reminded kindly with a smile.
Xiao Han touched his nose awkwardly. He really said this subconsciously, but he didn’t care about being scolded. “I have no choice. It’s my fault for how sensitive my nose is.”
“Let’s go and boil some porridge.”
The beautiful day started with bowls of plain porridge. They didn’t even manage to find pickles.
Around eight o’clock, Director Lin entered the courtyard.
“Yesterday was our first day here. I believe that everyone has already adjusted themselves last night. Today, we will officially start working, and the labor you put in is the only bargaining chip to exchange for physical items.”
It was still the same white loudspeaker. Director Lin looked at everyone’s expressions and felt that they were looking at him with resentment.
“I don’t think you’ve eaten breakfast today. Your mission is to fill the water vats at home with water. There are two water vats in total. You can split into groups freely. The first group to complete has the right to choose breakfast first.” Director Lin forcefully ignored everyone’s gaze and braced himself to read out the rules.
“Director, Yu Su and the others took away all the food last night. We didn’t eat much and started working without breakfast today. How can a normal person stand it?”
It was still Shen Chun who spoke first, and Ye Chang also echoed.
Ever since Xiao Han said that to Yu Miao, she had been hiding behind Ye Chang when she went out again, far away from Xiao Han. From time to time, she would smell herself to confirm if she smelled fresh.
“We want to experience real farming life. We came to wake you up very late today. The villagers usually start work around six o’clock. While cooking, they start busying themselves with the vegetables in the courtyard, fetching water for the water vat at home, and feeding the poultry and livestock. Now, the production team has already helped you cook breakfast. We don’t need you to tend to the vegetable fields. We just need you to fetch water. The tasks are already relatively light. Moreover, it’s a group assignment. If you work together, you can finish it quickly.”
Director Lin’s expression was serious. Shen Chun wanted to say something else, but when she saw Director Lin’s expression, she held it in.
“Director Lin, there are seven of us now. If we split into two groups, one group will have one less person. It’s not very fair to carry out the competition like this.”
Ye Chang could also tell from yesterday’s incident that the director wanted a real experience and would definitely not go easy on them. However, if they were to voluntarily split into groups, Yu Su, Xiao Han, Meng Xi, and Ding Chen would definitely stick together. Then, he would definitely be at a disadvantage with the two girls. He had already not eaten his fill yesterday. If he lost his breakfast again, he was not sure if he could last until the end.
“Don’t worry about that. Our last guest just arrived because of his schedule. Including him, there are exactly eight of you. Four men and four women. It’s very fair.”
