Close to Qiao Xi, Sooner or Later You'll See a Doctor

Guo Yang: "..."

Director's team: "..."

Guo Yang turned around, pointing at Director Jin while backing away: "But seriously! How can I slap your face if I'm not full? Sister Xi's method is brilliant! Just look at that clever brain, I could never grow one like that in my next life!"

Director Jin: ?

[Guo Yang, you can't lose your bottom line just to stay alive]

[I get it, I completely get it—stay close to Qiao Xi, and sooner or later, you'll need a doctor]

[Guo Yang! Stand tall for your mom! I voted for you so many times! Not for you to kneel to a tyrant on the show!]

[Guo Yang: What tyrant? This is my reborn parent!]

Director Jin and the others walked away, then started to laugh, covering their mouths, "Perfect! The young master wants to monopolize a cow cart, which can only carry ten pounds of apples at most, and by the time they make one trip, it'll be evening. With twelve mouths waiting to eat, tonight we'll surely see twelve people fighting over one plate of beef tripe! Hahaha!"

They waited until evening, but Qiao Xi still hadn't returned.

Director Jin almost laughed her false teeth out: "What did I say! By now, they must be panting, carrying stuff! What's the footage from the cameraman?"

"We lost them," the assistant said. "Qiao Xi got tired of the slow cow cart halfway and ran off!"

Director Jin frowned: "Ran? So far, would Yu Siyan, that lazy bum, agree to that?"

"He rode on his bodyguard's back. Mainly, his bodyguard was running, and he was paying. Twenty yuan per kilometer, and that bodyguard was grinning ear to ear!"

Director Jin: "..."

The producer said: "Judging by the direction, she's probably going to Old Sun's house to borrow a tractor."

"Even if they borrow one, will they make it in time? Does anyone know how to drive? Even if they do, can they really..."

She widened her eyes!

"Toot toot toot toot—"

Ahead, a tractor appeared on a small slope!

Yu Siyan was sitting in the tractor, one foot up, wildly spinning the steering wheel, executing a perfect drift!

Several apples rolled on the ground!

Cheng Dong frantically picked them up, trading eight apples for fifty yuan!

"Whoa!" the director's team exclaimed in unison!

[6666666666666666]

[I'm shouting out loud, awesome! Tractor drifting??? Yu Siyan, you know this trick too??? If you had used this back in 'Real Man or Not', you wouldn't have ended up with the first place in the fake man group!]

[No, seriously, didn't we agree not to bring up that incident? He holds grudges like a small-minded guy. Soon, he'll track you down through the internet!]

Director Jin threw away the apple core and stood up. Before she could speak, the assistant hastily pulled her.

"Director Jin! Look! Behind them!"

A small truck appeared!

A slender, fair hand lazily stretched out from the driver's seat, giving Yu Siyan a high-five.

And it wasn't over, behind them was Guo Yang on a cow cart! Zhang Shu on horseback! Qian Haoxian on a three-wheeled motorcycle...

Each person had at least three sacks! Space utilization was extremely efficient!

[Ah ah ah ah Zhang Shu, you learned horseback riding for acting, who's letting you use it here!]

"Ahem!"

Suddenly, a cough came from the village's broadcast, followed by sports event music!

"Next, approaching us, is the handsome tractor boy—"

Yu Siyan and Qiao Xi exchanged a glance.

Their eyes said the same thing: Did you arrange this?

"Uncle! Hurry up!" a childish voice came from the broadcast.

Lu Shibang's voice: "What did you call him?!"

"This is a young people's matter! You wouldn't understand! Quick, broadcast! They're getting impatient!"

Qiao Xi understood and gestured a 'please' to the young master.

The tractor started immediately!

"Toot toot toot toot—" bouncing up and down, not affecting the proud boy inside.

"Next!" Lu Shibang continued, "is our delicate, cute, beautiful, kind, gentle, pretty, strong, brave, honest, determined, humble, innocent, simple... captivating! Stunning! Brilliant and elegant... our sweet little truck princess—Xi Xi!"

A screen full of [??????] floated by.

[Qiao Xi, did you spend money? Just say how much you gave! Our fans could afford it!]

[Damn! This woman is so cunning! All for this moment, right!]

[I hate myself for clapping uncontrollably]

[Wake up, only you fans are crying, your young master is nodding. He's the only one acknowledging the truth of this!]

Director Jin angrily interrupted: "You're driving without a license! You—"

"Slap!"

Yu Siyan threw out a tractor driver's license.

The ID photo showed a toothy, flashy grin.

Director Jin: ?

She turned to Qiao Xi, about to explode!

"Slap!"

Qiao Xi tossed out a motor vehicle license.

"Not enough? I have more."

Qiao Xi strutted around, tossing licenses one after another, surrounding Director Jin.

Slap slap slap!

[Oh my! Tractor driver's license! Combine harvester driver's license! All-category motor vehicle license! She can drive a big truck, damn damn damn]

[Ah ah ah ah ah ah Sister Xi is awesome! I'm going crazy for Sister Xi! I'm thumping my chest for Sister Xi! Can you hear it? Bang bang bang! Can you hear it?!]

[Couple license! They've got matching driving licenses, isn't that real?]

[Yes, today they have couple licenses, tomorrow they can be in bed. Isn't this an ironclad rule?]

[What nonsense! I didn't know that!]

[Well, now you know, woohoo]

Director Jin was completely stunned, eyes vacant!

She watched as Qiao Xi unloaded apple sack after apple sack.

10 pounds, 50 pounds, 100 pounds... 500 pounds!

A total of 500 pounds! Exchanged for 50 portions of food!

Qiao Xi stood by, threatening: "Director's team out of food? Didn't prepare enough? Yu Siyan, what do we do if the director's team didn't prepare enough food?"

"Stop scamming us!" The producer yelled, hands up, "We'll go buy it now! Immediately!"

Qiao Xi raised an eyebrow, "What about the freshness..."

"The freshest! Straight from the slaughterhouse!"

"And the portions, surely not..."

"Each portion guaranteed to be over a pound! Don't worry, don't worry!"

[Hahaha this is a huge win, watching this feels so good]

[Director Jin didn't even prepare the food, she was sure they wouldn't win!]

[I'm having hotpot tonight! Immersive live-stream watching!]

Driven by survival instinct, the director's team quickly used helicopters to air-drop fresh food.

When they opened the lids, the octopuses were still dancing.

The guests, starved for an entire episode, cried as they tasted the hotpot.

"Sister Xi, boohoo... you're my forever boss!"

After a few sips, they were tipsy.

Guo Yang, swaying his wine glass, said: "Everyone hiccup~ let's toast hiccup~ to our provider hiccup~ Qiao Xi!"

Qiao Xi waved her hand, "No, no, I deserve this!"

Her phone rang, she turned to answer it.

It was Ye Sisi reporting on the company's progress.

Qiao Xi listened while saying: "That's not important, come to the village first..."

Elsewhere.

Lu Baibai stood in front of Yu Siyan, reporting quietly: "Aunt said, let the nanny go to the company again, something about oranges."

"Zhao Nanny? Li Cheng?"

"Yes, yes!"

Yu Siyan nodded, "Continue."

Lu Baibai: "Then bought a ticket for Sisi to come to the village."

"Then for Da Zhuang's wedding money, she wants you to give it."

"And, and... oh, she told Sisi that you two must be together! You're destined to be!"

Silence.

"What did she say...?"

Yu Siyan's mind went blank.

Suddenly, it all made sense.

No one interrupted him, and he remembered what Qiao Xi had said before.

—"Good boy, you must be with Ye Sisi."

Memories flashed back.

He remembered many things.

Like that lunch, both his and Ye Sisi's lunchboxes had heart-shaped arrangements...

Like her telling him to hold Ye Sisi...

Like her countless times giving up her seat, letting Ye Sisi sit with him.

...

"Bang!" Lu Baibai fell into the living room.

Qiao Xi was startled, rushing over to hold him.

Lu Baibai held back tears, "Uncle, uncle left the village! He was like this—"

Lu Baibai mimicked fainting, eyes rolling back, "He said he's running away! He doesn't believe in this world anymore!"

Qiao Xi: ?

Lu Baibai: "He also said, if someone goes after him now, he might listen to an explanation! He'll keep his speed at 20 km/h so even on a cow cart you can catch up! If there's no cow cart, he left Cheng Dong for you to ride!"
