Such a Bad Body, and You Still Have the Nerve to Show It Off?

A little after ten, the sun had climbed high enough.

Though it was only early summer, the spreading heat was already palpable.

With no shade at all, the sunlight beat down directly—the air around them seemed to be boiling, scorching hot.

Luo Mingyu wiped the sweat from his face and finally understood why farm work had to be done early.

If they kept baking under the sun, their skin would definitely start peeling!

"We're done!" Xie Jinran straightened up with a proud look on his face.

This time, he wore a full set of designer sportswear, and he was noticeably quicker.

Just as he was about to bask in everyone's attention, he discovered that no one was paying him any mind.

What did that mean?!

Different treatment?!

Yesterday, when Xie Chen had been the first to finish turning the soil, several staff members had gathered around him, and the village chief had even praised him...

Xie Ran, beside him, noticed Xie Jinran's displeasure and tugged at his sleeve. "Third Brother, don't be angry. I'm used to it."

"Used to what?!" Xie Jinran's anger surged at once. "Used to being targeted?!"

Xie Ran bit his lip and said nothing.

Xie Jinran stormed over to Director Li. "The two of us finished the task. Why don't you have any reaction at all?!"

"What reaction do you want?" Director Li had no intention of indulging his temper. "Why don't you take a look at the mess you made first? If you didn't remember what the village chief said, you could have asked again."

"What do you mean?!" Xie Jinran instantly felt guilty, but he could not back down in front of everyone. He could only put on a tough front. "Why would we need to ask again about such simple farm work? The fact is, Xie Ran and I are finished, while they're still working!"

Director Li curled his lip. "Fine. We'll see when it's harvest time. If the seeds don't sprout, the two of you will compensate Bright Village for its losses."

The village chief, who had been silent beside them, hurriedly waved his hands when he heard that. "No need, no need. If they don't grow, then they don't grow. We can dig them up later and sow them again..."

"How could that be okay?!" Director Li was displeased. "They were told how to sow the seeds, yet they still half-assed it and talked back. They need to see exactly how they ruined the land!"

Xie Jinran stood there, his face gradually turning ashen. In the end, he did not say anything else. With a stiff expression, he grabbed Xie Ran's hand. "Come on, let's go back and rest."

As they spoke, the two turned and left.

The cameraman following them turned to Director Li. "Director, can we take turns filming them? I can't handle doing it alone!"

"Hiss—" Director Li frowned slightly.

Those two brothers really were exhausting.

"Fine. Have the assistant make a shift schedule later."

The cameraman sighed in relief upon hearing that.

Finally, Luo Mingyu could not take it anymore. He turned to the others and asked, "Aren't you guys really hot?! Don't you want to take your clothes off?!"

"Anyway, I can't stand it anymore..."

As he spoke, he took off his shirt, exposing firm muscles and a flat abdomen.

Li Sifan, in the neighboring field, froze for a moment before hurriedly looking away.

Best Actress Li Jingfei stood where she was and laughed openly. "So this is a young man's body? Tsk tsk, not bad at all."

[Hahahaha, say what you want, but chatty little Luo really does have a great body. He spends all year drinking at bars without getting out of shape. Looks like he works out quite a bit!]

[Another day conquered by a hot body. Whether he's actually a bad guy suddenly doesn't seem that important!]

Xie Chen straightened his back. Seeing Luo Mingyu bare-chested and looking rather refreshed, he blinked and took off his hoodie as well.

His lean yet powerful physique was displayed in full before the camera.

The bullet comments erupted again.

[Why did I never notice that Xie Chen had such an amazing body before?! He looks so skinny!]

[I can't take it, I want to lick the screen. Is this really something I'm allowed to see?!]

[I'm so jealous of the Best Actress. She actually gets to enjoy this in person! I want to crawl through the screen!]

The moment Director Li entered the observation room, he felt a chill in the air.

Instinctively sensing trouble, he turned to run, only to be stopped by Huo Wenye. "Wait."

"Wenye, what can I do for you?" The moment the words left his mouth, Director Li suddenly felt like a chief eunuch attending at close quarters.

Huo Wenye's gaze was deep and dark as he looked at the screen. "Aren't you afraid the show will get banned?"

"Banned?" Director Li was somewhat baffled.

"They're showing too much. Someone might report it." Huo Wenye's tone was icy.

Only then did Director Li turn back and notice the two blatantly exposed bodies on the screen. He was immediately stunned.

Come on!

They had only taken off their shirts.

How could that get them reported?!

Besides... the two of them really did have great bodies. It was practically guaranteed to draw traffic!

Director Li was quite pleased, but the influential man from the capital sitting on the sofa looked increasingly grim. "I hope nothing unexpected happens on this show. If there's any suggestive behavior, it should be stopped immediately!"

"You're right. I'll have someone tell them to put their clothes on right away." Under the pressure, Director Li gave up on chasing traffic.

Besides, Huo Wenye was right. Becoming popular through suggestive content would not last long. They should focus on the actual content of the show.

Fortunately, by the time the assistant rushed over, the guests in the fields had already finished sowing the seeds. They were all dressed and heading back to prepare for lunch.

The village chief called out to them, "Kids, there's watermelon! Come eat some!"

Everyone was exhausted and thirsty. The moment they heard there was watermelon, their faces lit up with delight.

Luo Mingyu was the first to rush over and accept a slice with both hands. Without hesitation, he opened his mouth and took a huge bite, swallowing it whole before flashing his big teeth. "I've never thought watermelon tasted this good!"

"Don't take your clothes off next time!" Li Sifan suddenly said.

Luo Mingyu turned around and glared at him in confusion, his entire face practically screaming, Are you sick or something?!

Li Sifan avoided his gaze. "With such a bad body, you still have the nerve to show it off?!"

Luo Mingyu was so angry he nearly choked. "What the hell does it have to do with you?!"

While the two argued, everyone else had already finished a slice.

Xie Chen wiped his mouth in satisfaction and asked the village chief, "Is your back feeling better?"

"Much better!" The village chief suddenly became emotional. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to work in the fields for days!"

"You should still make sure to rest more in the future." Xie Chen picked up another slice of watermelon and continued eating.

The livestream comments began flooding in.

[It feels like the village chief is playing favorites. Why didn't Xie Jinran and Xie Ran get any watermelon?!]

[The village chief may be simple and honest, but he isn't stupid. Can't he tell who worked hard and who cut corners?!]

[Even if they didn't do the job well, that doesn't mean they don't deserve watermelon, does it?! The village chief is clearly trying to exclude the Xie Family brothers!]

[Stop with the conspiracy theories. Some villagers already took watermelon to them. They knocked forever, but those two wouldn't open the door. Who knows what they're doing inside!]

As the viewers discussed it, a villager came running over from afar in a panic, shouting repeatedly, "Village chief, this is bad!"

"They've cut off the water upstream again!"
