CHAPTER 16: LANDSLIDE ENCOUNTER

"Chi Yu, are you hungry since you didn’t have dinner?"

"Chi Yu, is it that tonight’s food doesn’t appeal to your taste?"

"Chi Yu, I brought you a vacuum-packed meal..."

The solid wood door opened from the inside.

Yi Shu looked at Li Yan with a stern face: "Are you a cricket? Why are you so noisy? Why are you so noisy?"

"..."

With Weng Lan downstairs, Li Yan wasn’t as afraid of Yi Shu, so she said defiantly, "This is a vacuum-packed meal I brought, it’s an expensive one, I can’t even bear to eat it myself, I brought it especially for Brother Yu."

Yi Shu: "Thanks, not needed."

"I just wanted to care for Brother Yu, he hasn’t eaten dinner, let me in."

Li Yan tried to squeeze in, but Yi Shu wouldn’t let her.

Chi Yu walked to the door, and Li Yan saw him, joyfully shouting, "Brother Yu, I brought you..."

But when she met Chi Yu’s expressionless gaze, Li Yan swallowed the rest of her words. Because Chi Yu seemed to be in a bad mood.

Chi Yu was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt, his skin extremely pale, his expression extremely cold, projecting a "do not approach" aura akin to the gusty winds and rain outside.

Instinctively, Li Yan stepped aside, watching Chi Yu go downstairs without daring to disturb him.

It wasn’t until Chi Yu had gone downstairs that Li Yan thought to catch up with him, when Yi Shu gave a warning from behind: "I advise you to restrain yourself."

Li Yan snorted: "None of your business. When I become Chi Yu’s girlfriend, you’ll be the first one I torment."

Yi Shu: "Keep dreaming."

"..."

Downstairs.

The village chief was chatting enthusiastically with everyone, Yu Yang’s hosting skills were on display, easily discussing any topic from all over, and Lin Xijiang was chiming in beside him, creating a cheerful atmosphere.

Suddenly, the village chief received a phone call.

He became tense: "Is the landslide serious? What... Yanyan got into trouble there? Okay, okay, I’ll come right away."

This phone call not only made the village chief panic but also aroused the curiosity of the whole program crew.

Only Chi Yu, pouring himself a drink of water, seemed like an outsider, showing no interest in the major incident unfolding.

Director Liu Xu inquired, "What happened?"

The village chief picked up his pipe, grabbed his jacket, and took his conical hat: "The owner of the farm stay, Yanyan, left in too much of a hurry tonight and met with some trouble due to a landslide. I need to rush over to help bring her back."

Everyone’s expressions turned worried upon hearing this.

Even Chi Yu, who usually looked indifferent, raised his eyelids.

Chi Yu looked at the village chief, his voice cold and emotionless: "Didn’t she know it was going to rain tonight?"

The village chief replied helplessly: "Yanyan had something very important to attend to."

"What could be more important than life? Ignoring nature and weather forecasts is just asking for trouble," Chi Yu spoke harshly.

This perfectly matched his moody temperament over the past few months.

Everyone present could tell Chi Yu’s tone was excessively unsympathetic, but no one dared to speak up; after all, Chi Yu was this season’s ’national treasure’ guest of the program. Better to go along than to stir up conflict.

The village chief was so angry, he had a blow-his-top look on his face: "Hey, you young people, watch your mouth."

"If I were you, the time spent arguing could be used to save a life," Chi Yu took a sip of water, frowned slightly, and then dumped the water from the cup directly.

He wasn’t accustomed to anything here.

Didn’t even like the water.

He didn’t like it here, and if it were Yuanyuan, she certainly wouldn’t like it either.
