When the translator arrived, they meticulously translated the conversation between the two. Director Jin was already dizzy, unable to make sense of the situation.
Translator: "The villager just said that if they need anything, they should give him a call, and he'll come to help."
Director Jin, still skeptical, asked, "Then why was the villager pointing at Yu Si Nian?"
Translator: "The villager said that the young man is so handsome, is he Qiao Xi's husband? Qiao Xi said no."
"... At least she has some self-awareness!"
Translator: "She said that's her son, who has autism. She came to this beautiful village to participate in a parent-child show with her son."
Director Jin: ...
Producer: ...
Qiao Xi came out driving an electric tricycle, carrying a basket of dark cakes in her right hand.
She praised Xiao 6, "6'er, I have to say, this strength pill is pretty useful."
Earlier, she couldn't lift the cakes the villager had given, so she used the strength pill. The pill granted her ten times the strength for an hour. Besides that, the system also gave her other interesting tools, which Qiao Xi planned to explore later tonight.
[I'm shocked, is she really that skilled? Was she just hiding her talent before?]
[Nonsense, the script is obviously given by the production team!]
[She's not making it up! I'm from the village, and to inform everyone, that's our Xi family's dialect! It's one of the least used dialects in the country, and only this village still speaks it!]
[So Qiao Xi really knows it? That's impressive!]
[I'm more concerned about whether Zhou Ninghuan will kneel and call her dad, hahaha]
[This dialect is extremely hard to learn! It would take at least five or six years to master it!]
Director Jin, reading the comments, gritted her teeth. She hadn't recovered from the shock yet. She had spent half a year negotiating with this villager to get permission to film here, building roads and giving money to every household. And even then, they were still reluctant! Finally, after signing numerous agreements with lawyers, they barely got the go-ahead. But somehow, for Qiao Xi, it was a breeze!
"If it weren't for the fact that I've been negotiating with this villager for half a year, I'd suspect she hired an actor!" Director Jin thought.
Seeing Director Jin's grim face, the producer tried to comfort her, "This is just the beginning. Some surprises are normal. If she were really that capable, would she still be in her current situation?"
Director Jin nodded in agreement.
"Anyway, they have to help a sow give birth next. Let's see how these pampered stars handle that!"
Meanwhile, Qiao Xi drove the tricycle up to them, coolly tossing her head, "Get on."
Zhou Ninghuan was about to walk to the back when a foot blocked his way.
He frowned at Qiao Xi, puzzled.
Qiao Xi, wearing a straw hat, moved, causing the grass on her hat to sway, "You, sit next to me."
[Here it comes! I knew she couldn't keep her true colors hidden for long! Now that she's targeting Zhou Ninghuan since she can't get Yu Si Nian!]
[Phew, as long as it's not Yu Si Nian.]
[Does anyone else think Qiao Xi is quite amusing? She's been wearing that straw hat for half an hour now. She seems to really like it!]
[I'm a bit worried that Yu Si Nian won't get on the vehicle. He has severe OCD.]
[Yeah, the doctor even issued a diagnosis saying it's a psychological issue caused by OCD.]
[Zhou Ninghuan is really pitiful, catching Qiao Xi's attention.]
Zhou Ninghuan sneered, sharing the same thought as the viewers. He enjoyed creating drama, so he didn't refuse and sat in the passenger seat, intentionally leaning closer to Qiao Xi. "Move over," Qiao Xi wrinkled her nose, "What's that smell? So strong?"
Zhou Ninghuan's face turned red, "What are you talking about!"
Qiao Xi: "Oh, I forgot. Your bad breath hasn't been cured? H. pylori is really persistent?"
Zhou Ninghuan: !
Viewers: !!!
Ye Sisi was terrified and desperately tried to change the topic, "By the way, Huan-ge, didn't you say if the captain could borrow a car, you would call her dad?"
As soon as she finished speaking, both heads turned to look at her.
Ye Sisi realized what she had said too late, and her face turned pale.
Qiao Xi laughed.
The biggest bug in the heroine's character setting was her zero emotional intelligence, often speaking without thinking and getting scolded by her manager.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way," she stammered.
"Huan-zai," Qiao Xi called affectionately.
Everyone: ?
Qiao Xi: "Such filial piety, next time don't hide it from dad."
Zhou Ninghuan almost exploded in anger!
The production team reminded them that they were running out of time, so everyone got on the tricycle. Yu Si Nian, however, remained where he was, glancing at the dirt on the back seat.
"I'll walk," he said, stepping past them with his long legs.
A sudden "crack" sound rang out.
Yu Si Nian stopped in his tracks.
Turning around, he saw Qiao Xi break off a piece of the tricycle's metal plate, twisting it until the fragments scattered in the wind.
Yu Si Nian: ?
[??????? Am I crazy or is she?]
[She just broke it off! Just like that, she broke it off!]
[I know! It must be made of chocolate! The production team will do anything for publicity!]
[The witch from fairy tales, she suddenly has a face]
Xiao 6 screamed, "Master, you'll mess up the plot! How will the villain trust you if you do this? How will you matchmake them? I beg you, be gentle!"
Qiao Xi frowned, "Got it, such a hassle."
Yu Si Nian watched the woman, after smashing the tricycle, suddenly look up and smile at him. She then acted like she had swallowed eight hundred elastic bands, pinching her voice, "We're all teammates, of course, we should go together. Nian Nian, get on~"
Everyone: !!!!!
Ye Sisi's teeth were chattering, "Nian, Nian-ge, you, you should get on?"
Zhou Ninghuan swallowed, "Yes, get on."
Yu Si Nian stood in silence for a moment, then got on. He figured that if he got on, he might just have a severe OCD episode and scrub himself raw. If he didn't, he might die. Not a hard choice.
"Ready?" Qiao Xi gently placed her hand on the handle, her smile growing wilder, "Let's go!"
The heroine and the villain's village romance was in her hands! In a while, when she braked, their lips might just touch! If not, they could at least bump into each other, right? This was almost a sure thing! No way this wouldn't spark some romance!
With a swish, the tricycle sped downhill!
"Wow!" they exclaimed.
Zhou Ninghuan showed his profile to the camera, "The air in the mountains is so fresh."
Ye Sisi smiled, "Having a vehicle is definitely better than walking!"
Yu Si Nian looked at Qiao Xi, "What's in your hand?"
Qiao Xi: "The wind is so strong! Feels great! What's in my hand? It's freedom! What else could it be? I have... huh?"
She suddenly stopped moving and slowly raised her hand. A metallic object, shiny in the sunlight!
Zhou Ninghuan's hair stood on end!
"That..." he pointed to the metal piece in Qiao Xi's hand, "Isn't that the brake?"
Ye Sisi: "It really looks like the brake!"
Realizing this, the tricycle sped downhill even faster!
"The brake!!!" they screamed, "What do we do? We can't stop!"
"We're going to die, aren't we?!"
"Mom! I don't want to film anymore! I want to go home!"
"Amen! Allah! Any deity, please protect me!"
