Chapter 33 part 1

At the end of February, the paddy fields were still not planted with seedlings. From a distance, it looked like countless square mirrors reflecting the blazing sun, presenting a colorful spectacle. The fields in the distance merged with the azure sky, creating a magnificent view.

A gentle breeze brushed by, lifting strands of hair and carrying the scent of the earth.

Shen Qiaoyu comfortably squinted her eyes.

But in the next second, the production team started distributing rubber overalls and the director spoke up, saying, “You all worked hard this morning, so let’s have something lighter in the afternoon. Now, please move to the lotus pond to dig lotus roots. You have one hour, and the amount you dig is up to your own judgment. Our main goal is to let you experience the feeling of digging lotus roots.”

The other two groups couldn’t help but complain and simply sat directly in the mud.

Shen Qiaoyu, on the other hand, was a bit distracted. Just as she turned her head to ask Yan Shiqing about the matter of recording, Yan Shiqing lost her balance and fell towards her.

She quickly reached out and held her, gripping her shoulders, then took the opportunity to whisper to her, “About that recording…”

Indeed, she had to thank Yan Shiqing for the recording pen. Without it, she wouldn’t have obtained such crucial evidence.

During the Spring Festival, she had already reported it to the police, but since they couldn’t find substantial evidence, there was no harm caused to those people, and she never received any feedback.

In this day and age, spreading rumors incurs no cost at all.

But with this recording, everything changed. The public opinion would now favor her more, and Xu Bing and that female idol would be pushed into the limelight, causing headaches for Hongsen Entertainment.

However, when she wanted to listen to the recording earlier, Yan Shiqing took away the recording pen. She awkwardly said, “There’s some private recordings in there that needed some privacy. If you want to listen to that part, I’ll cut it out and send it to you later.”

After hearing her words, she spontaneously asked, “Do you have a habit of carrying a recording pen with you?”

“Yeah, because I want to record every single detail between me and my partner, especially the recordings in bed. It’s worth listening to repeatedly~” Yan Shiqing lowered her long eyelashes, and her cheeks blushed slightly as if she was shy.

Shen Qiaoyu was left speechless. Once again, Yan Shiqing shows that there’s really nothing she could not say.

Next time she would definitely hold her tongue and not ask.

…

Mentioning the recording again, Yan Shiqing naturally placed her hand on Shen Qiaoyu’s arm and whispered, “I’ll give the recording to Sister Hu. She’ll help you handle it, and we’ll sort things out when we get back tonight.”

She didn’t really mean to rush her, she just wanted to say thank you.

Shen Qiaoyu looked down at her, lowered her voice, and said, “Thanks.”

“No need.” Yan Shiqing hooked her lips, raised her head, and looked at her.

But their eye contact lasted only two seconds, Yan Shiqing couldn’t stand it anymore and shifted her gaze away. She even felt a warmth emanating from the hand that was holding her shoulder.

She became a bit restless, quickly straightened her body, and forcefully pulled her own leg. Unexpectedly, she pulled too hard, her foot came out abruptly, and she lost her balance completely, falling towards Shen Qiaoyu instead.

Shen Qiaoyu didn’t react in time and was tackled by her, ending up in the mud and water. Fortunately, there wasn’t much water in the pond. She sat in the mud, with Yan Shiqing tightly pressed against her chest. Both of their hands were stuck and covered in the mud. They were also very close to each other.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t keep my balance,” Yan Shiqing quickly tried to stand up. However, her feet sank deeper into the mud again. Several attempts to stand up were like a fish stranded in the mud, rubbing against Shen Qiaoyu. Her face became red in an instant.

However, Shen Qiaoyu didn’t notice at all because she seemed to have touched something under her hand, catching her attention.

She quickly shouted, “Don’t move, it’s a lotus root.”

Yan Shiqing: “…”

It’s not like it’s a fish that will get scared and run away. What does it have to do with her being so concerned?

But she still listened and didn’t move.

At the same time, Shen Qiaoyu loudly asked the director on the nearby field ridge, “Do you want the lotus root to be as intact as possible?”

The Director was currently instructing the cameraman to get closer because many viewers wanted to hear the guests’ voices, so they were capturing live audio.

After hearing this question, the Director decisively replied, “The people who sell lotus roots want them to be intact, not broken.”

Understood.

Shen Qiaoyu quickly reached into the mud, with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows.

Sure enough, part of the lotus root was still being pressed by Yan Shiqing’s hand. It seemed that applying a little more force would break it.

She looked up at the other person and said, “Move your hand away.”

Yan Shiqing quickly moved her hand away, even gazing somewhat dazedly at Shen Qiaoyu’s series of actions.
