Meng Chuyuan hummed vaguely and said casually, "Are you done?"
Hearing her indifferent tone, Lu Jinsen's face fell.
He said unhappily, "You still have the cheek to ask? You should still remember that we're in the same group, right? Why do you keep running to others? You don't even care about me, right?"
He did all the dirty and tiring work.
On the other hand, she was the kind of person who did nothing and still needed someone to find her after he was done.
[There's internal strife, hahahaha.]
[I'm dying of laughter. Lu Jinsen's unhappiness is written all over his face. Look at how aggrieved our young master is. He's about to cry.]
[Sister Meng is probably the only one who can make Young Master so angry.]
[F*ck, Lu Jinsen is the child who needs to be coaxed, right? Hahaha.]
Meng Chuyuan glanced at him and said calmly, "I remember. I didn't forget. And who says I didn't care about you? Were you unable to finish the remaining work? Or are you saying you couldn't ?"
Lu Jinsen's expression stiffened. Not to be outdone, he said, "Who said that? I've already completed it."
"That's right."
Lu Jinsen wanted to let it go, but he suddenly thought of something and realized that something was wrong.
He said in exasperation, "No… who told you about work? I'm reminding you that we're in the same team, understand? Why are you running around for no reason? You can't even finish your own work. Why are you acting like a good person? You can help others, but you can't help me?"
Meng Chuyuan looked up and seemed to have caught the change in Lu Jinsen's expression. She raised her eyebrows and said playfully, "You've said so much but the last sentence is your main point, right?"
"…" Lu Jinsen was instantly speechless. He even looked a little awkward in front of the camera.
[I can tell. Not only did Eldest Young Master get confused, but he also got himself exposed. Haha.]
[Save me. Young Master, do you still remember why you were angry just now? Why are you suddenly silent now??]
[Someone save his brain. I'm dying of laughter.]
[So that's why Lu Jinsen is angry. Hahaha. Do you not know how to breathe without Sister-in-law by your side?]
[Hahahaha, I can't laugh anymore. Sister Meng, quickly give him a way out. I'm embarrassed for him even through the screen.]
For some reason, Lu Jinsen felt inexplicably guilty. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, "Did you just miss the point of everything I just said?"
"You're the one who's missing the point, aren't you?"
Lu Jinsen emphasized to her confidently, "We're in the same team. Please understand that you're helping yourself by helping me."
Perhaps because he was angered by Meng Chuyuan, Lu Jinsen looked at her disdainfully. His words were filled with disdain. "How did my brother fall for you back then?"
Meng Chuyuan did not feel repulsed by Lu Jinsen's cold words. Instead, she replied calmly, "It's probably because I'm beautiful and my thoughts are beautiful."
Lu Jinsen: "…"
[F*ck!! Is it really appropriate to say this on the Variety show?]
[I'm dying of laughter. Aren't you afraid of being beaten up for saying this?]
[This is probably because she's pretty and confident. I admire it.]
[Although, I also want to say that I'm beautiful in such a self-righteous manner. Boohoo.]
[It's fine if you say you're beautiful, but can you say that your thoughts are beautiful? Hahahahaha]
[Being beautiful is an advantage. Living a beautiful life is a skill. However, Sister Meng has both.]
[Sister Meng's answer is really hilarious. Although I'm good-looking, I should keep a low profile.]
Lu Jinsen was probably so angry at her that he did not speak for a while.
After a while, when Lu Jinsen saw that the director was about to leave, he said again, "Are you leaving or not?"
"Are you guys leaving?" When the child's mother heard Lu Jinsen's words, she immediately put down her work and walked out of the cornfield.
Before Meng Chuyuan could speak, Lu Jinsen answered for her. "We are indeed leaving."
"I'm sorry to take up your time." The woman looked at them apologetically and reached out to Meng Chuyuan. "Give me the child."
After Meng Chuyuan handed the child back to the child's mother, she looked at Lu Jinsen beside her and said softly, "Let's go."
Seeing that they were about to turn around and leave, the child's mother suddenly called out to them, "Wait…"
The two of them looked over curiously, only to see the woman put the freshly picked corn into a plastic bag and hand it to them.
"Miss Meng, thank you for helping me take care of the children just now. These corn have just been picked. Take some back."
"There's no need to be so polite. It's nothing," she said.
The woman smiled faintly and raised her hand slightly, indicating, "Take it. This is also a small token of my appreciation."
Meng Chuyuan was stunned for a moment. She was very familiar with this scene. She had just experienced it in the afternoon, but she did not expect the scene to repeat itself.
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan had no intention of reaching out, the woman could only stuff the bag of corn into Lu Jinsen's hands. "Young man, take this."
"This… Thank you…" Lu Jinsen did not expect that he would be unlucky enough to fall for it while he was watching them from the side. The blow just now had left him at a loss. Other than thanking her, he really did not know what else to say.
[Oh my god!! It turns out that helping to raise a child can also help you harvest a bag of corn.]
[I suddenly realized that Sister Meng's kindness is always rewarded. Boohoo.]
[What's wrong with that? It's like this in the countryside. There are many organic crops. It's normal to send some out.]
[Young Master's stunned expression hasn't dissipated at all. Hahaha.]
[Look at what Young Master did. He even said the word 'thank you' so awkwardly.]
[Lu Jinsen: When did I become a tool??]
Qi Yan had been staying in her room since she returned from the vegetable field. Perhaps it was because of her ranking this afternoon, but she did not interact much with Qi Zhen along the way. She did not seem to be in the mood.
When it was time to prepare dinner, they only saw Qi Zhen preparing the dishes in the kitchen.
On the other hand…
"Yan Yan, I'm back."
When Liao Jiake returned, she saw her sister sitting in the courtyard chatting with the neighboring children. Her expression brightened, and she unexpectedly got second place. Her happiness was written all over her face.
"Sister, you're finally back." Liao Jiayan smiled at her and asked with concern, "How is it? Are you tired? I was not around in the afternoon. Was everything going well on your side?"
"It's pretty good. We got second place, 32 labor coins, and we were rewarded with fruits."
When Liao Jiayan heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at her in surprise and joy, and a smile appeared on her slightly pale face. "Sister, you're amazing."
She smiled faintly and said humbly, "Maybe I was lucky."
If not for Meng Chuyuan's help, she would probably still be busy in the vegetable field.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the production team invited Meng Chuyuan's team to the village chief's house for dinner. They even specially hired a chef to serve the two of them.
[I really didn't expect that the team of slackers would get first place in both missions today.]
