Li Yan planned to take advantage of this mont to tell Chi Yu about that woman and what happened in Ancient Water Village. She just called out, "Brother Chi Yu, I have sothing to say..."
"No ti to listen."
Chi Yu went inside without paying attention to Li Yan.
Li Yan wasn’t discouraged. She decided to tell Chi Yu after lunch. She could already imagine Chi Yu being very grateful to her once he knew, and improving his often cold deanor towards her.
...
Lunch was quite sumptuous.
Lin Xijiang was a great cook, and there were many dishes.
Just as they sat down, Yu Yang asked, "Is the lady boss still at the orchard and hasn’t co back? Shall we wait for her and eat together?"
Sheng Yi suddenly straightened up, listening intently to the situation.
Regarding why the lady boss hadn’t returned to the farm stay, Lin Xijiang had already inquired before cooking: "Yanyan is eating dinner at the village chief’s house. She didn’t return to the farm stay to avoid affecting our show recording. I saved two portions of the dishes to send over there later."
"How about I deliver them? You’ve all t the lady boss, but I haven’t seen her yet." Sheng Yi had already known that Gu Yuan was definitely in another place because she didn’t see her return to the farm stay. Upon hearing that she was at the village chief’s house, Sheng Yi imdiately volunteered enthusiastically.
Lin Xijiang sighed inwardly. Even though he had personal motives, he couldn’t compete with the female guest while recording the show, so he agreed, "Alright..."
The agreent was interrupted by Chi Yu’s voice, "I’ll go deliver it."
Sheng Yi imdiately contested, "I’ll go, I’ll go."
Chi Yu cast a sidelong glance at Sheng Yi, "The village chief doesn’t have a good impression of . I should go apologize to him, so I’ll go."
Lin Xijiang hadn’t intended to compete with the female guest, but since Chi Yu took the initiative, he couldn’t sit still and said, "Forget it, I’ll go."
So Lin Xijiang turned around, went back to the kitchen, packed the two portions into a food box, and ca out. Waving to everyone, he said, "You all eat first, I’ll go deliver the food."
Just two steps out, he was stopped by Chi Yu.
Chi Yu took the food box from Lin Xijiang’s hand without saying a word and headed out with it.
Lin Xijiang reached out, "Hey, Chi Yu, you..."
"He’s so overbearing!" Sheng Yi intentionally said angrily, "He claims to be the best at cooperating, but during the entire recording, he does his own thing and doesn’t cooperate at all."
She guessed that Chi Yu’s persistent attitude was probably because he already knew Yuanyuan was with the village chief. Even if she wanted to stop him, there was nothing she could do.
Yu Yang diated, "It’s okay, it’s okay, let Chi Yu go. Let’s eat first."
Lin Xijiang had no choice but to sit down, thinking to himself that he would check on her after the al, not knowing if she caught a cold from the rain last night.
...
Delivering the food was just an excuse; Chi Yu’s real purpose wasn’t to deliver food at all.
His goal was to go back to the orchard’s warehouse once more.
When he was knocking on the door, he already had a premonition that soone was inside the warehouse. At that mont, he could have burst in without considering the village chief.
But if the person inside really was... Yuanyuan...?
If Yuanyuan ca to see Sheng Yi and didn’t see him, barging in would make Yuanyuan angry. Plus, with so many people from the show crew around, he didn’t want them to disturb Yuanyuan.
So, he decided to compromise.
At this mont, the village chief’s family was preparing to have lunch.
Today’s lunch was prepared by the village chief’s wife, Aunt Cai. Her na was Cai Aihua, and she was two years older than the village chief. They had two sons who worked in the city, and she usually stayed ho growing vegetables and raising so poultry.
On the table, there were two dishes and a soup: fried shredded potatoes, braised pork with fernted black beans, and preserved egg cucumber soup.
Gu Yuan liked it very much as it whetted her appetite.
Dao An wasn’t the sa; he’d only been here a day and hadn’t gotten used to life here, so he wasn’t very tempted by the food on the table. But since President Gu said nothing, he dared not comnt much and decided just to eat a little.
As Gu Yuan called Dao An to sit down, a few dog barks sounded from outside. She rose, "Soone’s here, I’ll go check."
