CHAPTER 29: FAIRIES ARE ALL FOOLS

The village chief’s family has a small yellow dog, very tame. Even when it sees strangers, it doesn’t bark fiercely, just a few barks to alert its owner.

Gu Yuan was about to go out to see who had arrived and help the village chief greet them.

Dao An instinctively walked in front of her, "President Gu, I’ll go take a look."

The village chief quickly walked ahead of Dao An, grabbed a tobacco pipe, "Young man, sit down and eat. I’ll go."

Dao An looked at Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan sat back down, scooping a bowl of rice and placing it in front of Dao An, "All skills are useless when you come to the countryside. No need to be so restrained, just be at ease."

Dao An felt embarrassed.

It was mainly his first time experiencing the local customs for real.

"That’s right, that’s right, Yanyan is right." Aunt Cai brought out chopsticks, placed a pair by Dao An’s bowl, lowered her head, looked at Dao An for a couple more times, and laughed heartily, "Young man, you’re really handsome."

Dao An: "..."

In the world of fame and fortune, it’s all flattery and accommodating. It had been a long time since he was praised so straightforwardly. It was indeed embarrassing.

In the courtyard.

Chi Yu was holding a food box.

The small yellow dog barked at him a few times and then quieted down, shaking its head and wandering around him a few times, then sniffed near his pant leg, the bell around its neck jingling.

Chi Yu squatted down, placed the food box aside, and stared at the small yellow dog for a few seconds, then tentatively opened his palm and slowly extended it towards the dog.

As Chi Yu extended his hand, the small yellow head let out an excited whimper, its tail wagging fast enough to leave an afterimage.

The photographer beside captured this scene with a close-up shot, thinking to themselves how rare it was. From the moment Chi Yu joined the filming crew until now, they finally captured something beneficial to the show. Heaven knows how uncooperative Chi Yu had been all day! The director was almost at their wit’s end but didn’t dare say anything. Now this, a reward of chicken drumsticks would be in order.

The small yellow dog was very friendly. As soon as Chi Yu petted it, its ears immediately fell.

Chi Yu: "Heh... local dog."

Photographer: "..."

Chi Yu was just attracted by the bell around the small yellow dog’s neck. It was a beautiful bell about the size of a thumb.

He took a look, noticing it was pure gold and not cheap.

"Who’s here?"

The village chief came out and saw two people outside, one carrying a large camera, the other a young man known to have a not-so-good temper.

The village chief initially came out with a smile, but upon seeing Chi Yu, the smile immediately vanished.

"Oh, it’s you, young man. What do you want?"

Chi Yu saw the village chief approaching, stood up, and handed the food box to the village chief, speaking very succinctly, "These are dishes made by the farmhouse today at noon. I brought some for you to try."

Upon hearing this, the village chief’s smile returned.

Receiving the food box, the village chief chuckled and said, "That’s very polite of you. We’re just about to have lunch. Young man, have you eaten? If not, come in and join us. Yanyan is also eating here today. The more, the merrier."

"No, I’ve already eaten." Chi Yu politely declined.

He planned to go to the warehouse and didn’t intend to stay long.

When the village chief mentioned Yanyan was there, Chi Yu showed no expression, not even a flicker in his eyes, because just earlier at the farmhouse, Lin Xijiang mentioned she was here. The promotional team described her as a fairy, and Xiong Yao also said she was very gentle, had a good temper, and even made breakfast for everyone.

But in Chi Yu’s impression: fairies are silly, and the only reason they are kind is that they aren’t smart. As for breakfast, it wasn’t necessary.

The village chief remained enthusiastic, actively pulling Chi Yu, "Since you’re here, just join us for a meal."
