Zhang Miaomiao’s movements were exceptionally swift; before long, breakfast dishes were successively placed on the table.
“Hmm, delicious.”
Even Shang Rongrong praised it directly.
Zhang Miaomiao was overjoyed and kept urging the seniors to eat more.
Shang Rongrong was still quite strict with her figure. As much as she liked it, she dared not eat too much, though she still had about half a bowl more than usual.
The male guests were seated at another table. Lin Zhuonan glanced over, and seeing Shang Rongrong eat a little more, his eyebrows shot up. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Miaomiao a few more times.
Coincidentally, Zhang Miaomiao met his gaze. She froze for a moment, then her internal alarm bells went off!
What was going on?
Could it be… Brother Nan had taken a liking to her?!
This wouldn't do. She only wanted to focus on her career right now. How could this man compare to Sister Wei Liang!
She clicked her tongue twice and shook her head. The rumors were indeed true; Brother Nan’s professional capabilities were strong, but he was too much of a playboy!
Unsuitable, unsuitable…
Lin Zhuonan raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat puzzled.
This… what was with that look of disdain?
What's more, Lin Zhuonan didn't just think about it without understanding, he even actively waved to call her over, "Ah Miao~"
Zhang Miaomiao glanced over, then reluctantly shuffled over with small steps. "Something wrong?"
Lin Zhuonan smiled and looked at her. "I heard your next drama is about to start filming. Given our relationship…"
"Hey! Hold on, Brother Nan, we're just senior and junior colleagues. And I'm an actress, you're a singer. Strictly speaking, we're not even in the same circle! So, our relationship is just as ordinary as it can possibly be!"
Seeing her appearance, as if she was afraid of being associated with him, Lin Zhuonan was bewildered. "No, I think we can…"
"We can't! Absolutely not!"
Zhang Miaomiao was about to clasp her hands in a bow to him. She quickly pretended to pick up a few empty bowls from the table and fled.
The person sitting next to him couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Zhuonan showed a rare look of confusion, which truly amused Xiao Yi. "Can't you tell she doesn't want to be associated with you?"
"...Not before, but now I can."
But still the same question: why?
"It's because your reputation for being amorous is too great, and she doesn't want her name to be tainted by yours."
Opposite them, Situ slowly nodded. "Mm."
Lin Zhuonan: "..."
Heh, was he being mocked?
Xi En, Wai Shao, and other staff members had breakfast next door. After finishing, they came to join everyone.
By this time, Ding Yong and his wife Shen Chunhua also arrived. They also made arrangements for the dozens of families in the village. Although the population wasn't large, there was plenty of land. If they really worked hard, they might not finish even by the end of the recording.
"It's not that I'm afraid of being tired, but what if we can't finish?" Mikoy posed a rare serious question.
Xiao Yi smiled. "It's alright, we have helpers too."
"What is it?" Wai Shao said, "Could it be our fan club?"
"Almost."
He deliberately kept them in suspense.
Xi En looked towards him. "Coincidentally, I've also found a helper."
"Oh?" Xiao Yi turned his gaze. Although his face was smiling, his eyes weren't quite right. "Hehe, that's quite a coincidence." Su Dan Novel Network
The people around looked back and forth between them, vaguely sensing a sinister aura…
Wai Shao whispered to Situ, "That… is it what I'm guessing?"
Situ: "...Mm."
Mikoy truly looked down on them. "Tch, what's there to fight about? In the end, won't she still choose me?"
Situ silently looked at him, then thought for a moment before saying, "There's a gap between a dream and a daydream."
Wai Shao held back his laughter and gave him a thumbs up.
When it came to silently roasting someone, it had to be our Situ.
The male guests and staff set off. Before leaving, Xiao Yi pulled Xia Weiliang to the wall and said softly, "I know you care a lot about Meimei, but you also have to understand that you can't interfere with her choices and her life."
"I know." Xia Weiliang understood clearly. She said, "I just want to help her, just like I helped Zhao Cheng and Xiao Jin Zi."
He frowned. "There are thousands of people like that in the world. Can you help them all?"
Xia Weiliang pursed her lips and smiled. "I can't help them all, but there's more than one me in the world! How do you know that Meimei the second won't meet Xia Beauty the second?"
Xiao Yi was stunned. His gaze towards her began to change. Finally, he lightly chuckled, held her chin, and kissed her lips.
She was startled and quickly turned to hide in his arms. "We agreed, no public displays of affection on the show!"
She wasn't being coy; she didn't want the show's focus to be diverted by those with ulterior motives, who would only focus on the couple and not the program itself.
"I know." He put his arm around her shoulder. "But I couldn't help myself."
Xia Weiliang's cheeks flushed. She reflected seriously and said sincerely, "It's not your fault. Blame my inescapable charm."
Alas, she was so captivating.
The two lingered for a moment. Little Shuai's camera was very clever, rotating 360 degrees all around, just not sweeping in their direction!
Soon, after the main group changed their clothes, they walked off carrying hoes and wearing straw hats.
Xia Weiliang also called out to Shang Rongrong, "Sister Rongrong, let's head out too."
Shen Xia Tree didn't want to leave his idol for a moment. He actively asked his sister for permission and offered to continue being their guide.
Due to the limited staff of the program team, and thinking of helping the villagers with more practical matters, Little Shuai, as an outstanding human, handed the machine directly to Shen Xia Tree.
"Brother, this is my wife, my main lady! You must treat her well!"
Shen Xia Tree also served as a publicity officer for the village. Although he hadn't used such a high-tech camera before, he was quick to understand.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely film Sister Rong beautifully!"
After the handover ceremony, the three of them set off.
Along the way, Shen Xia Tree acted as both cameraman and narrator, responsible for chatting and showering his idol with compliments. The machine was quite heavy, and it exhausted him.
They stopped in front of a house at the east end of the village. He panted, "Th-this is Meimei's mother, Chen Zhi's new home."
Xia Weiliang stepped forward to knock on the door, but after knocking for a long time, no one inside responded.
However, they could faintly hear a child crying, "I want to go out and play… I want to go out and play…"
Shen Xia Tree whispered to the two of them, "This is Meimei's younger brother."
The two understood that Chen Zhi must be at home, but she just didn't want to open the door for them.
Xia Weiliang turned to find a stone. Shen Xia Tree was startled, thinking she was going to smash the door. "Niangniang, don't do that!"
To her surprise, she simply placed it by the door and then sat down on it, looking as if she intended to wait it out.
Shang Rongrong smiled and followed suit, finding a stone to sit on beside her.
