Xing Yichen's mood finally eased after he repeatedly sent a bouquet of roses one after another.
On the other side, they had already entered the voting phase.
Huang Chu looked at the fortune of the last villager, then told them to remember to vote for group three before he left.
At this moment, he habitually shook off the nonexistent dust on his jacket and walked to Qiao Moyu's side.
Qiao Moyu turned her head and smiled at Huang Chu.
Ye Peicheng stood on Qiao Moyu's other side. When the camera moved away, he reached his hands out to Qiao Moyu's hands that were behind her and squeezed them, then tickled her soft palms.
Qiao Mou felt the itch in her palm and could not help but raise the corners of her lips.
These past two days, Ye Peicheng had done many of these types of antics. In the evening, he would tightly interlock their hands together as they walked behind other people.
During the daytime when the cameraman failed to catch up, he would occasionally move closer to kiss her then go back to his serious mode as if nothing had happened.
A lot of these little things made her feel as if she had some misunderstanding regarding dating him.
Before she transmigrated, she was only eighteen and had just finished her final exams. She never thought she would date a twenty-seven year old man. She only felt it would be serious between them and that the generation gap would not be a factor.
Now it seems that the man whom she thought of as an "uncle" that would tease and pamper her. He could also be like the boys in her school who would secretly kiss their girlfriends.
She felt a thread of sweetness raise up from her heart, this sweetness made her whole body feel light and relaxed.
At this moment, the host began to speak, "Now, the vote for group three's PK competition has officially opened…"
The villagers had already arrived under the leadership of the village head. Everyone was very excited and were even more ecstatic to hear they were already on the internet and maybe will even be able to go on television in two days.
Everyone lined up with a serious expression and it was apparent that they valued their vote.
Each group had a ballot box in front of them and each villager had a vote.
Previously, the director had already handed over the donations raised from the program last season to the village head. It wasn't much but to this impoverished village, it could go a long way Afterall, there were a dozen households, so each household would be able to receive around a thousand yuan.
A thousand yuan was a lot for a household of three whose monthly expenses would only be a few hundred. Moreover, the village head said that with the broadcast of the program, more people will be aware of their region and buy their local specialties. Then afterwards, their lives would become better and better.
This time, Qiao Moyu did not officially bless her ballot box so she was a bit dumbfounded when villagers one after the other came to vote for her group.
She suddenly remembered Huang Chu's words to the village head. He had worked very hard to read feng shui for everyone and also specifically said that he was from group three.
She turned her head and sure enough Huang Chu was smiling at her. Suddenly, Qiao Moyu understood.
This person was truly incredible, maybe he could see that she was different from other people! But she was still unsure to what extent he could see.
When the last villager voted for Qiao Moyu, the host laughed, "Does everyone think that you can only vote at group three's ballot box?"
Indeed, some people wanted to vote for others but they did not want to be singled out when the majority of the people before them all voted for Qiao Moyu.
Under these advantageous results, the village head glanced at Huang Chu then put the remainder of the last ten votes in group three's box.
The host passed over the mic to a villager, "Madam, why did you vote for group three?"
The woman stood upright and was very nervous as she looked at the camera for the first time, "Because our water tank was filled by the girl from group three! That girl also helped us carry water last night and this morning. She didn't even look to see if anyone was home and continued to work by herself without seeking anything! The people in the mountains are very realistic. There is no need for dancing and singing so I really like a steadfast girl who is willing to work!"
Once she said this, the other villagers nodded their heads in unison, "So that's why when I woke up this morning to get water to find that the water tank had already been filled, I knew this girl was very good. If you had not mentioned it was her, I really wouldn't have known who did it!"
In the live broadcast channel, Qiao Moyu's fans were frantically flooding in –
"Yu-gege is so kind. I love her even more now!"
"Our Moyu is doing true charity! She did it silently without thinking about a reward!"
"Yu-gege, I was originally just a passerby but now I am definitely a fan of yours!"
"Yu-gege, please marry me!"
"Marry me"
"Marry"
...
In the temporary constructed venue, the host announced the results and the director gave both Qiao Moyu and Qin Qianqian a small trophy. They both stood at position C with their little trophy and took a group photo with the programme team and the villagers.
After the photo, an additional person appeared beside Qiao Moyu.
Huang Chu averted his gaze and passed his phone to the closest person, Ye Peicheng, "Peichang, take a few photos of Moyu and I!"
In fact, Ye Peicheng recognised him at first sight when he first appeared at the airport and immediately called father Ye.
However, father Ye said he did not know and told ye Peicheng to pretend he did not know Huang Chu.
At this moment, Ye Peicheng held up the phone and took a few photos of Huang Chu and Qiao Moyu. Within the camera view, he felt the lawyer his father had hired for a at great expense was particularly lackey and the brilliance on his face was like that of a fanboy.
He massaged the space between his eyebrows with a sore head. He felt that Qiao Moyu was too attractive, she was even able to attract this uncle. He really needed to keep a closer eye on her from now on.
Huang Chu did not care what Ye Peicheng had on his mind. He even knew that father Ye probably wanted to kill him during this broadcast but this was all worth it! In a hundred years, he will not be able to justify himself when he meets his master!
After the photos, Huang Chu reached out his hand and shook her hand. Then with a feverish expression, he said in a low voice, "Priest Qingyin, I want to join the Lingxu sect."
Qiao Moyu had guessed he may have known about her koi attribute but she did not expect him to conclude she was Priest Qingyin!"
She already understood there was no need to deny it and considered it for only a moment, "Mister Huang, although I really want to accept some new blood but the Lingxu sect is a family business and does not accept outsiders!"
Huang Chu was shocked.
Qiao Moyu continued and pointed at Ye Peicheng, "He is a senior student and plus I also have an apprentice who is a relative."
By lucky coincidence, Ye Peicheng was already nearby and heard Qiao Moyu's words. His lips slightly curved and added, "Mister Huang, she is correct. Our sect is a family business and even if it were to expand, only our children would be able to join."
Huang Chu, "…" Who said Ye Peicheng would not find a wife himself? He could manage his wife well enough so why did father Ye ask him to help his son chase after his wife? This is a joke!
However at this moment, Qiao Moyu was a bit lost in thought and did not care what Huang Chu thought. When Ye Peicheng said 'when they have children', has he already thought that far?
The program ended successfully and everyone said farewell to the villagers and returned to the city.
When Qiao Moyu arrived home it was already dark. She opened the door and smelled a strange scent.
Her heart tightened and quickly advanced in to find a little cat.
Luo Luo held a piece of durian in his hand. The durian looked ripe as the flesh was thick and soft. As a result, the little guy's face and hands were covered in a yellow durian paste.
When he saw Qiao Moyu walk in, his eyes shined and he quickly ran towards her, "Mama!"
Qiao Moyu did not like the smell of durian but could not bear to brush him away when she saw Luo Luo happily run over. She reached out her arms and picked up Luo Luo, "My baby is so cute!"
Ugh, if this baby was not covered in durian then it would be even better!
"Mama, the durian is really tasty!" Luo Luo passed over the piece of durian in his hands to Qiao Moyu, "Taste it Mama!"
Qiao Moyu silently said, "Mama is not hungry."
The little one's face was covered in paste and his eyes were big and bright. He continued to raise the piece of durian in his hand and said, "Grandpa said durian is nutritious and uncle also liked to eat it when he was young!"
To the side, Aunty Yu explained, "Yesterday, Luo Luo stayed over at the Ye's so he only came home today. Mister Ye said Luo Luo likes to eat durian so I specially brought some Mao Shan Wang* over when Luo Luo came back today."
Qiao Moyu, "…"
So she was the only one who did not like to eat durian in the family?
She tried to visualise a younger Ye Peicheng eating durian then took a photo of Luo Luo and sent it over, "Ye-gege, you also went crazy over durian when you were younger?"
Ye Peicheng's home was a bit further away from the airport so he was not home yet. When he heard his phone, he picked it up and saw Luo Luo's photo.
His heart was suddenly hit by softness and replied, "Yes, father and I both really like to eat durian."
"Luo Luo has been corrupted by you guys!" Qiao Moyu sent a few crazy knife emojis and added, "I really don't know where he got this from!"
Once it was sent, she suddenly felt she should not discuss the child's father with Ye Peicheng. Afterall, Ye Peicheng already said he did not mind her past.
A second later, she received Ye Peicheng's reply, "Maybe it came from me."
Qiao Moyu, "…"
Thirty seconds later, Ye Peicheng sent another message, "Little Moyu, I saw that in the afternoon on the day after tomorrow, we don't have any movie shoots. So let's take Luo Luo to the amusement park!"
Since Qiao Moyu got together with Ye Peicheng, she had always worried whether Ye Peicheng would accept Luo Luo but it looks like she would not have to worry. She replied, "Okay."
As if it was not enough, she sent a heart emoji.
On the other side, Ye Peicheng sent a kissing emoji.
When Qiao Moyu saw it, the corners of her lips raised slightly as if she could feel it and carried her phone to the bedroom.
Luo Luo was still eating durian outside while inside the bedroom, Ye Peicheng's call already came through, "Little Moyu, are you missing me?"
Qiao Moyu's heart missed a beat when he hit the nail on the head but before she could reply, he said, "I saw you half an hour ago but I already miss you."
Qiao Moyu felt her heart suddenly go silent and thought to herself, she seems to like him now…
