Shen Shuyu was still trying to mentally prepare herself when Lin Weiwei's fans stormed into the livestream and began hurling all sorts of sarcastic remarks.
[Seriously? Seriously? It's just feeding pigs. Is that really necessary?]
[So pretentious!]
[Pigs don't even bite. If you're that scared, why come on the show? Go home and be your little princess. (picking nose)]
[Oh my, she's a rich young lady, after all. She's different from us~]
[She's never admitted to being some wealthy family's daughter herself. Who knows if it's just part of her persona? (eye roll)]
[Didn't Shen Shuyu say before that she knew Bo Fuyu? Bo Fuyu seems to be friends with Zhou Linzhe, but Zhou Linzhe looked like he didn't want anything to do with her.]
[Hahaha, that just means they're not close at all! That woman doesn't have a single truthful word coming out of her mouth!]
[If that's the case, then judging by Zhou Linzhe's attitude toward Weiwei, Weiwei looks more like a rich young lady. They must have known each other before.]
After Qi Si finished his task and paid for today's meals, he resumed his laid-back lifestyle.
He played with Yu Doudou for a while, then stopped bothering him while he did his homework and returned to his room.
After taking a shower, he lay on the bed and started playing with his phone.
He had originally wanted to message Augus, but after considering that the other man was probably busy too, he gave up on the idea.
Instead, he opened other people's livestreams.
Because of the novel, Qi Si paid more attention to Shen Shuyu and Lin Weiwei, so he immediately searched for their livestreams.
To keep netizens from saying he still had feelings for Lin Weiwei, he opened Shen Shuyu's livestream first.
The moment he entered, the filthy barrage of comments stunned him.
Then, the next second, his phone screen froze.
"Hm? Why is there no internet?" Qi Si raised his phone toward the window, searching for a signal.
However, the few bars representing the network signal remained completely unresponsive.
"Tch, what kind of garbage network is this?" Qi Si irritably shut off his phone.
Although he could no longer watch the livestream, he had seen enough when he entered just now.
Lin Weiwei's fans had actually swapped Lin Weiwei and Shen Shuyu's identities?
These fans were really something!
You could say they guessed right, except they got the people mixed up.
You could say they guessed wrong, except they only got the people mixed up.
The more Qi Si thought about it, the more amusing it became. Leaning against the bed, he could not help laughing out loud.
What would happen when Lin Weiwei's fans found out that Lin Weiwei was not some rich young lady at all, while Shen Shuyu—the person they looked down on—actually was one?
That would definitely be entertaining!
In Qi Si's livestream, viewers who had been preparing to visit other livestreams suddenly stopped before clicking out. They stared in confusion at Qi Si, who had suddenly begun grinning like an idiot.
[Has he finally gone crazy?]
[He suddenly started laughing and scared the hell out of me!]
[Is he okay? Do we need to call an ambulance?]
[Hahahahahaha!!!]
[What's so funny? Tell us so we can all be happy too!]
"What's he so happy about over there?" Xiang Qianchong noticed what was happening on Qi Si's side and asked the planner beside her in confusion.
The planner shook his head, equally baffled.
"I dunno! Maybe there really is something wrong with his brain? Can an ambulance even get here?"
Xiang Qianchong rolled her eyes at him speechlessly. "The netizens may have bad brains, but yours doesn't work either? You're saying something's wrong with his brain? I think there's something wrong with yours!"
The planner looked aggrieved. Why was she yelling at him? Wasn't the director the one who asked first?
Although no one knew what Qi Si was laughing about, that did not stop them from watching Shen Shuyu and Lin Weiwei make fools of themselves.
Shen Shuyu's situation was embarrassing, but she was only a little dirty. After all, the pigs were in the pigsty and had not run around.
Lin Weiwei's side was much more exciting.
The household that assigned her task raised dozens of ducks. Each one looked fairly small, though they were not exactly tiny either.
Before Lin Weiwei even reached the duck shed, she heard the constant quacking, loud enough to hurt her ears.
Lin Weiwei's expression was still normal at that point. She was even chatting cheerfully with the villager beside her.
But when they reached the duck shed entrance, before the door was even opened, a wave of stench hit her square in the face.
Lin Weiwei's breath caught, and she nearly passed out.
Although the livestream viewers could not smell it, they could tell from Lin Weiwei's reaction just how terrifying the odor must have been.
Seeing her reaction, the villager beside her became somewhat worried as well.
Could such a delicate-looking young girl really look after his ducks?
What if thirty ducks went out and fewer than ten came back?
"Can you do it or not? If not, I'll find someone else."
"I... I can!" Lin Weiwei said stiffly.
This was already one of the easiest jobs she had found. If she could not even do this, she would have no choice but to work in the fields.
And she definitely could not do that.
With every bit of doubt imaginable, the villager handed his ducks over to Lin Weiwei and repeatedly told her to keep a close eye on them.
Lin Weiwei nodded again and again. The moment he left, she immediately backed away several steps.
She looked at the duck shed in front of her as if she wanted to cry but had no tears left.
"Wuwuwu... Why do animals like ducks even exist in this world?" Lin Weiwei whined tearfully.
[Pfft~ If ducks didn't exist, where would the duck meat you eat come from?]
[Wuwuwu, poor Weiwei. Isn't this job way too hard? Isn't there anything easier?]
[Can this even work? How is she supposed to let the ducks out? Won't they run away if she doesn't lead them?]
[Usually not. Ducks that have been raised for a long time know how to go home themselves. You just need to watch them and make sure a few particularly stupid ducks don't fall behind.]
[And she has the nerve to call this hard? Why not look at Xu Zhening and Jiang Han next door? She's calling herself tired just from herding ducks, while Shen Shuyu next door is working harder feeding pigs.]
[Yang Yi has been picking apples all morning without complaining about being tired. (picking nose)]
Lin Weiwei's eyes brimmed with tears. She looked terrified to death, yet still appeared to be trying hard to complete her task. Her fans found that very appealing.
Every one of them felt heartbroken for her.
But not everyone liked the way she acted. Quite a few people still thought she was unbearably pretentious.
Especially with Yang Yi there for comparison.
Yang Yi's job was to pick ripe apples in an orchard, then send them to the warehouse for boxing and packaging.
She did not need to handle the boxing and packaging. Her task today was simply to pick apples.
Many people who had only started following Yang Yi after she became Best Actress did not know much about her past. They assumed Yang Yi could not handle this kind of hardship.
Before she started, many people had predicted she would fail, thinking she would not last long before complaining that she was tired.
But in reality, Yang Yi not only did not complain, she also got the hang of it very quickly.
Gradually, Yang Yi's technique and speed nearly caught up to those of the villager beside her.
Seeing this, the villager asked in surprise, "You're such a capable worker, girl. Have you done this kind of work before?"
Yang Yi smiled. "I did it when I was little. I'm a little rusty now."
"Even so, you're impressive! My own kids aren't nearly as quick as you!"
Yang Yi was not actually much younger than the aunt beside her. She just took good care of herself and had never given birth, so she looked much younger.
In the aunt's eyes, Yang Yi was about the same age as her eldest daughter.
Yang Yi did not explain. She merely smiled and continued working.
In the livestream, Yang Yi's longtime fans were also explaining things to the newer fans.
[Best Actress Yang was born in the countryside. She lived with her maternal grandparents there when she was little, then got into City No. 1 High School through the high school entrance exam.]
[Before becoming an actress, Best Actress Yang always worked while studying, so she knows how to do these things.]
[Huh? I always thought Best Actress Yang came from a very well-off family.]
[She does live well now, but that's the life she built for herself later. Her family used to be poor too. Apparently, she almost couldn't even afford her high school tuition back then.]
[Oh my god! That's so inspiring! Isn't she the perfect female lead?]
