The old man held a tobacco pipe in his hand, smoking that kind of old leafy tobacco, which had a very choking sll.
It’s said that many people can’t handle smoking this kind of old leaf tobacco; just one puff fills their mouth and throat with the bitter taste of huanglian.
At that ti, Chi Yu had just finished a video call with Gu Yuan. He put his phone in his pants pocket and looked at the old man opposite him: "Hello, can I help you with sothing?"
"What, you don’t recognize ?" The village chief was originally very certain, but looking at the young man’s reaction, he suddenly wasn’t so sure.
Chi Yu: ?
His mory wasn’t bad. If the other person really knew him, yet he didn’t recognize them, it probably had sothing to do with his mory loss; Chi Yu was still aware of this.
"Where’s Yanyan?" The village chief looked around several tis but didn’t see Gu Yuan.
Chi Yu was genuinely confused: "Who is Yanyan?"
Village chief: "Yanyan is Yanyan, hey, you brat."
Chi Yu: "..."
The character "Yan" in Yanyan could be close to "Yuan." Chi Yu thought for a mont and realized the old man might be referring to Yuanyuan, because of the accent he’s saying Yanyan?
As the thought erged, Chi Yu prepared to confirm it.
The village chief was holding an old-fashioned phone, squinting at it so closely it almost touched his face; Chi Yu didn’t know what the old man was looking at, so he actively asked: "Need any help?"
"No, no." The village chief waved his hand hurriedly, "I’ll give Yanyan a call."
As soon as he finished, the village chief found the number: "Found it, found it."
Then he pressed the call button.
It rang just a few tis before the other side picked up.
Chi Yu leaned in, trying to hear the voice on the other end, but was startled into stepping back a half step by the village chief’s thundering voice.
"Hello, Yanyan."
"Yes, yes, really missed you. My Tutu keeps talking about you every now and then. The osmanthus tree in front of our house has blood and withered, withered and blood, for two whole years without seeing you back."
"This ti I thought you’d co back too; I saw that young man. He said he doesn’t know you. Did you guys break up?"
"Oh, don’t be fooled by my old age, I still walk lively and am healthy, don’t worry."
"Alright, alright, got it. Rember to co back when you have ti, and the little princess is about to start kindergarten, right?"
"That’s good, hahaha..."
Chi Yu tried several tis to interject but clearly couldn’t get a word in.
The volu of the old-fashioned phone was not low, so Chi Yu, standing next to it, heard the conversation on the other end loud and clear.
His earlier guess was correct.
Yanyan was indeed Yuanyuan, it seed to him maybe it was a matter of the accent.
However, once Chi Yu realized the farmhouse was also nad Yanyan Farmhouse, he would know it’s not about the accent, but rather so forgotten mories from the past.
Finally—
The village chief ended the call with Gu Yuan.
Turning around with a smile, he was startled by Chi Yu, who was still there: "You were listening to my call with Yanyan the whole ti?"
Afraid the village chief would dislike him, Chi Yu quickly said: "I suddenly rembered, I know Yanyan."
The village chief’s face fell: "I asked Yanyan if you guys fought, Yanyan said no, but you look like a heartbreaker to ."
"I..." was at a loss for words, speechless.
The village chief, having nothing more to say, didn’t bother chatting more, heading inside the farmhouse. Chi Yu scratched his nose awkwardly and followed the village chief’s footsteps into the farmhouse.
The crew’s equipnt had already been set up quite a bit, recording equipnt mostly installed; after dinner, a little more work and it would be ready.
Lin Shi followed Sheng Yi, with the nice-sounding excuse: "Sister Sheng Yi has been to Ancient Water Village once, she’s familiar with here, following her won’t be boring, right?"
He smiled broadly.
It made sense.
Sheng Yi also didn’t mind taking Lin Shi along.
Mainly because Lin Shi was well-mannered, sweet-talking, and didn’t ddle, not asking what he shouldn’t, polite and humble, with no major flaws.
Truly soone from a family of veteran actors.
On top of that, Lin Shi was currently in a rising phase, his company aid to gain more national exposure through Desired Ecology.
Lin Shi’s agent also spoke with Liu Ru’s side, hoping Sheng Yi would lend a hand to Lin Shi in the program, clinging to the veteran actor’s title forever isn’t going to cut it.
...
By five in the afternoon.
A few years ago, there were always two tabby cats at the farmhouse for free als, now only one remained.
Yao Tao said the other one fell ill and died the year before last. Coincidentally, these two tabby cats were male and female, and it was the male cat that died; the female one had lost much weight, the plumpness of the past gone.
