CHAPTER 21: WAITING FOR HER THERE

Unwilling to give up, Li Yan brought over a basket of lychees: "Chi Yu, would you like some lychees? These have very thin skins and taste great."

The camera was rolling, and the juicy, translucent lychees looked truly delicious—surely Chi Yu wouldn’t refuse this time?

Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing!

"Lychees cause heat, I don’t like them." Chi Yu didn’t look at them at all and continued to walk forward.

He was so tall, his figure was slim, and his appearance was incredibly captivating.

This man was like walking poison, and Li Yan finally understood why Chi Yu’s fans adored him so much—it even made you obsessed when he rejected you.

In the distance, Sheng Yi watched it all with amusement, almost dying from laughter.

Li Yan noticed Sheng Yi watching and shot her a glare. However, Sheng Yi returned a powerful gaze, instantly quelling Li Yan’s momentum.

Sheng Yi approached the fruit farmer, especially liking mangoes, and was about to reach out when the farmer selected one for her: "The most fragrant mangoes are the sweetest."

This remark was clearly teaching Sheng Yi how to pick the sweetest mangoes.

Yet, Sheng Yi was suddenly stunned.

She took the mango offered by the farmer, brought it to her nose, inhaled, and then smiled, saying, "It smells really fragrant."

The farmer smiled without speaking, distributed the fruits among everyone, and then headed into the orchard with a basket.

Sheng Yi followed with her mango.

At this moment, Lin Xijiang called out, "Sheng Yi, where are you going? We’re in the same team."

Everyone looked at Sheng Yi, even Chi Yu’s stingy gaze turned her way.

Sheng Yi’s heart tightened, but one of an actor’s essential skills is acting. After appearing in many dramas, Sheng Yi maintained a calm and relaxed tone: "I’m going to find a bathroom."

Lin Xijiang immediately stopped asking.

Li Yan jokingly said, "A lazy donkey would have many troubles going uphill."

Sheng Yi ignored Li Yan and quickly caught up with the fruit farmer.

Chi Yu withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes, lost in thought, as Li Yan approached: "Chi Yu, I want to find the bathroom too, but I’m scared to go alone."

Chi Yu glanced at Li Yan, "So were you just calling yourself that?"

—A lazy donkey has many troubles going uphill.

Li Yan: "..."

She thought it was just another round of harsh words with no follow-up, but unexpectedly, Chi Yu agreed to accompany her.

Li Yan was stunned by this sudden joy.

It wasn’t until Chi Yu’s figure was already ahead that Li Yan caught up: "Chi Yu, wait for me."

...

At this moment, only Sheng Yi knew how excited she felt.

Because only Yuanyuan would say to her: "The most fragrant mangoes are the sweetest."

Thinking of this, her eyes warmed repeatedly. Yuanyuan must have come to find her after knowing she was filming in Ancient Water Village!

There were no cameras here, and Sheng Yi had already informed the photographer not to follow her.

"Is it here?" Sheng Yi asked the fruit farmer.

The fruit farmer pointed: "The orchard’s public restroom is just ahead."

Sheng Yi was suddenly taken aback: "Weren’t you bringing me to find someone?"

The farmer asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Sheng Yi described, "A very, very beautiful woman."

The farmer pointed in a direction: "Behind the restroom is a storage room used for orchard maintenance tools like lawnmowers; the person you’re looking for might be waiting there."

With her emotions fluctuating wildly, Sheng Yi quickly thanked the farmer.

She ran hastily in that direction, unaware that Chi Yu was following her.
