A swift kick landed on Xu Renfei’s butt. Ignoring his yelp of pain, Bi Xia looked up at the teacher, "You must be from the program crew, right? This makeup is just too jarring. So, what kind of reward do you have for us?"
In response, the teacher swallowed back the words he had originally planned to say, nearly choking on them.
Seeing the two good-looking individuals staring directly at him, the teacher’s face turned red. Xu Renfei noticed and chuckled, teasing the teacher, "Sir, why are you blushing? Is this your first ti seeing such beauties?"
"The weather is too hot today, so I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable." The teacher smiled awkwardly, using his loose, drooping sleeve to wipe the sweat from his face while muttering under his breath, Yes, I’ve never seen such beautiful people like you two!
Clearing his throat, the teacher pointed at Bi Xia and continued, "This young man is very clever. Indeed, I have sothing to give to both of you."
"Take a look over there."
Following the direction indicated by the teacher, Bi Xia and Xu Renfei saw that a long table had been placed on the previously empty road, covered by a black cloth.
As the staff mber dramatically lifted the cloth, they discovered five models of fences set up on the table.
"The red fence represents your area. Whenever you complete a task, you will receive a house to place in your area. However, not all tasks co with a house as a reward. The person who secures the most houses will be the final winner."
With that, the teacher handed two red houses to Bi Xia. "Since you discovered a hidden task, each hidden task cos with a house as a reward. Please, take them."
Bi Xia handed one of the red houses to Xu Renfei. The two of them placed the houses in their designated areas. Seeing the additional houses, Bi Xia slowly curved his lips into a smile, "Finally cracked the rules."
Bidding farewell to the teacher, Bi Xia and Xu Renfei wandered around the ancient town. Watching the shop owners dressed in traditional costus, Xu Renfei couldn’t help but sigh, "How much do you think Director Li and Director Wu spent to create such an imrsive setting?"
As Bi Xia curled his lips and was about to respond, he was suddenly drawn to sothing and turned around, leaving Xu Renfei behind as he walked off.
After talking to himself for a while and receiving no response, not to ntion any retaliatory kick, Xu Renfei turned around. He saw Bi Xia, expressionless, intently watching an artisan making various sugar figurines, completely oblivious to the crowd of onlookers surrounding him.
Xu Renfei walked over with a mix of amusent and exasperation. Waving to the squealing fans, he turned to Bi Xia and said helplessly, "Hey Little Jiu’er, you heartless little thing! You see food and completely forget about !"
Bi Xia licked his lips, his star-like eyes sparkling as he looked at Xu Renfei. Xu Renfei felt a sense of déjà vu, his heart skipping a beat, as he heard the boy speak in a flat, muffled voice, "Brother Qi, I want it."
Whish—
An arrow struck directly at his heart. Xu Renfei swallowed, suddenly turning around to hide in a corner of the shop, squatting down to silently scream.
Watching the caraman who had followed him, Xu Renfei clutched his chest and exclaid to the cara, "So! Adorable!!"
Taking a deep breath, Xu Renfei walked back to Bi Xia’s side, tossing his hair back, and grandly gestured to the artisan, "Master, one, please."
"Sure thing, what do you want it to look like?" the artisan asked.
Xu Renfei thought for a mont, then pointed to himself and Bi Xia, "Can you make them look like the two of us?"
The artisan looked at Bi Xia, then at Xu Renfei, and nodded, "Both of you are good-looking, I can do that."
Raising an eyebrow, Xu Renfei looked at Bi Xia seeking approval. Bi Xia tilted his head, "Do you have money?"
Xu Renfei: ...
After a slight cough, Xu Renfei turned to the artisan and cautiously asked, "Master, we... don’t have any money. Can you make two for free?"
The artisan looked at Xu Renfei and laughed heartily, "That’s easy. If you can bring ten custors to , I’ll give you both for free."
