Sorry, Morning Sickness

Finally, Yi Han and Fan Zhiying left the room, carrying their hoes.

Suddenly, only two people were left in the room.

[I'm! With! Qiao! Xi!]

[Damn! Let's see how the fans explain this one!]

[I'm not worried because it takes two to tango. Now, please enjoy Xi-jie's performance.]

Yu Siyian turned his head and was startled!

Qiao Xi was staring at him with her big dark eyes, a teasing smile on her face as she mimicked him, "Oh, you're with Qiao Xi? What a good boy you are!"

Yu Siyian: "..."

"Sleep!" he roared.

The lights went out.

[Hahaha, Qiao Xi, a woman who never surprises me.]

[See that 6? I cringed so hard my toes curled.]

Before long, Qiao Xi's light snores could be heard.

But suddenly, there was a faint light under the covers.

The young master took out a photo, looked at it under the flashlight, and chuckled softly. The blanket rustled.

After a while, he started sweating a little. He quickly reached out to grab a tissue, then swiftly ducked back under the covers.

Finally, he fell asleep hugging the photo.

The moon gradually got covered by dark clouds.

Cheng Xi, squatting on a tree outside, glanced into the room and took out a diary, starting to write—

[July 1, Sunny (but the young madam said it would rain)]

[The young master was sneaky, moving under the covers. It took about a minute, and he was done.]

[Our young master has grown up, but he still needs to work on his stamina.]

[P.S.: Remember to get a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to check him out when we get home.]

That night, everyone slept soundly.

In the morning, Zhou Ninghuan yawned.

"I slept so well last night! I dreamed I was watering the vegetable garden all night!"

Zhang Shu: "What a coincidence! I dreamed I was watering flowers!"

The others nodded in agreement.

"I dreamed of raindrops on banana leaves!"

"I dreamed of 200 people peeing together!"

Everyone suddenly stopped.

Wait a minute.

Why were all their dreams related to water?

And what was that noise outside?

Duan Fulin's face changed dramatically as he immediately opened the door.

The next second, everyone was stunned!!!

There was a stream at the entrance!

The trees were submerged! The rain was pouring down hard!

[Still sleeping!!! Hurry and check your fields!]

[I'm speechless, just came up, what's going on?!]

[It's really raining! And it's a downpour!]

Duan Fulin reacted quickly, putting on a raincoat and shouting, "Hurry to the fields! Hurry!!!"

The group rushed to their field, only to be dumbfounded!

The field was no longer a field!

It had turned into a small pond!

"Aaaahhhh!" Zhou Ninghuan cried, kneeling, "Heavens! Are you kidding me?! We worked all day yesterday!"

The director's team was just waking up!

"What?! It's really a downpour?!" Director Jin rushed out, not even bothering to put on shoes!

Sure enough, they saw the heavy rain pouring down!

"Oh my..." Director Jin swayed.

The assistant director couldn't believe it, "How did Qiao Xi know?"

Director Jin shook his head, his expression numb.

"Just a coincidence. Even if she knew it would rain, how could she know it would be a downpour? She can't be more accurate than the weather forecast."

At lunchtime, the atmosphere was heavy.

Qiao Xi slumped in her chair, smiling.

Next to her sat the elegant and noble Yu Siyian and the drenched Yi Han and Fan Zhiying.

— The two had rushed to the field last night, only to get trapped and had to find a cave to shelter from the rain, staying up all night!

Opposite them were eight people, looking utterly defeated.

Zhou Ninghuan couldn't eat a single bite.

After a while, Fan Zhiying moved. She pushed the ribs from her bowl towards Qiao Xi, her face tense as she said, "Xi-jie, you eat."

Qiao Xi paused.

[Xi-jie????? That title?????]

[Interesting way to admit fault]

[No way Qiao Xi will let this go so easily, she's so petty]

Fan Zhiying quickly lowered her head.

She wasn't one to argue; when she was wrong, she admitted it.

Besides, she had already regretted it deeply while stuck in the cave last night! Thinking about how arrogant she had been, she wanted to slap herself! As for Qiao Xi's response... whether she was angry or mocked her, it was all deserved.

The next second, the ribs were pushed back.

"Eat more," Qiao Xi said, "You need to be full to have the energy to scold them."

Opposite: ?

Fan Zhiying's eyes lit up.

She suddenly stood up!

Qiao Xi was startled!

Then, Fan Zhiying raised three fingers, "From today on, I sincerely acknowledge you as the leader! Rain or shine, through thick and thin, if you ask me to beat up Zhou Ninghuan, I won't touch his mouth!"

Zhou Ninghuan: !!!!

[Got it, new way to swear an oath]

[I'm dying laughing, Yingying is so cute!]

[Who understands?! I really like this! I don't dislike her straightforwardness at all! She's admitting her mistakes!]

Yi Han immediately followed, "I also sincerely acknowledge you as the leader."

Both of them had sworn, making Yu Siyian look lonely.

Qiao Xi glanced at Yu Siyian.

Yu Siyian took a bite of meat, "Why are you looking at me? I've always acknowledged you."

[Acknowledge what! Damn it! Stop playing word games!]

[As a five-year fan of Yu Siyian, I know he's doing this on purpose! He never said what he's acknowledging!]

[If you two keep this up, I'll really start making stuff up!!!]

The director's team announced, "The rain has flooded the living quarters, so we can't stay in the original place tonight. We've arranged with Da Zhuang to use his backyard for the guests. We'll move there now, and farming will be paused."

Qiao Xi, full and satisfied, stood up and stretched.

She deliberately swayed in an S-shape in front of Zhou Ninghuan and Duan Fulin.

With a long sigh, she said, "Ah... little cabbage, oh, yellow in the field. After a rain, there's nothing left."

"You!"

Duan Fulin pulled Zhou Ninghuan aside, away from the cameras.

Zhou Ninghuan gritted his teeth, "Look how smug she is!"

Duan Fulin said, "Director Jin said there will be a game later. I'll suggest playing Truth or Dare. Just follow my lead, and when it's your turn, point to Qiao Xi and ask her a question..."

He whispered into his ear.

In the main hall, everyone gathered, listening to the sound of rain. They took out bowls and spoons from Da Zhuang's house to make a simple spinning game.

Zhou Ninghuan glanced at Duan Fulin and spun the spoon.

The first spin landed on Fan Zhiying.

"I choose truth," Fan Zhiying said.

The rule was that the person on the right could ask the question. Qiao Xi, sitting to her right, casually asked, "After spending time with everyone, who do you want to slap the most?"

Fan Zhiying: "Zhou Ninghuan."

[Wow, taking the opportunity to insult someone, huh!]

[That's too harsh, targeting our Nuan Nuan!]

[As if Zhou Ninghuan never targeted anyone, I haven't seen such bold entertainment in years, the golden age of the industry is finally here, haha!]

At Fan Zhiying's company.

Her manager was already numb, frantically calling her.

The response was: "Yingying said don't worry about her, she's going to follow Qiao Xi! Whatever Qiao Xi asks her to do, she'll do it!"

Manager: "..."

At the scene, Duan Fulin asked Zhou Ninghuan, "Who do you miss the most right now?"

Zhou Ninghuan: "My fans."

"Yue——" Yu Siyian bent over.

Then elegantly pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth.

Zhou Ninghuan: ?

"Sorry," Yu Siyian smiled, "Morning sickness."

Zhou Ninghuan: "..."

[You're just ridiculous!]

[Is it trending now to spread your own rumors??!!!]

[I'm seriously going to die laughing because of him, hahaha!]

The spoon finally landed in front of Qiao Xi.

Zhou Ninghuan smiled.

"My question might be a bit offensive..." he smiled warmly, "Ms. Qiao, please bear with me."
