What Incredible Luck You Have!

The road to the foot of the mountain was fairly wide, but it was still a dirt path. Soaked by the rain, it had turned extremely muddy. Everyone stumbled along, and the guests in the footage were already a bedraggled mess.

[Wuwuwu, my Bai Yu!]

[I'm furious! Is the production crew really this inhumane?]

[How much exactly are Yaoyao's penalty fees and compensation? Seriously, I can't keep watching this.]

Jiang Yao was only five-foot-three and weighed barely eighty-eight pounds. She stumbled all the way, and had nearly fallen backward into the mud just now if Si You hadn't swiftly grabbed her.

"Are you okay?" Si You asked.

For some reason, Jiang Yao felt reassured. "I'm fine. I've been stepping in your footprints, so it's been much easier."

"Bai Yu," Si You said. "You and Jiang Yao stay in the back. I'll lead the way up front."

Upon hearing that, Xue Boyu immediately went over to support Jiang Yao.

Si You made his footprints firmer as they pushed against the wind and rain. A journey that had originally been planned for forty minutes took them a full hour and a half.

Even though it was hot in summer, the downpour had left them feeling chilled to the bone.

As if the heavens knew they had suffered enough, the rain gradually eased. The towering mountain before them formed a powerful barrier. Even the farmers had not expected the weather to turn this bad, and they discussed how rare it was among themselves.

Those rough, dark hands never paused as they bent down to pick the large patches of wild vegetables poking from the ground.

Si You did not dare waste time. He took a basket from a staff member, then added, "Could you give Jiang Yao some clothes? I'm worried she'll catch a cold."

People online had already started cursing, saying the production crew had gone too far for the sake of a gimmick. Jiang Yao's fans were on the verge of exploding. Seeing this, the director did not dare delay and instructed the staff to do as Si You said.

In fact, aside from Si You, all the other guests had been given coats by the production crew. Si You had noticed, but he had not given it much thought. He knew exactly where he stood.

But the tide in the comments had begun to shift—

[Do they really have to treat people this differently?]

[Si You has always been a punching bag. Isn't it normal for him to be treated differently?]

[What kind of disgusting creature are you? People don't even deserve basic human rights while filming a show now? And where do you fans get that ridiculous sense of superiority? So damn vile!]

[Heh, I'm naturally rebellious. I only started following Spring Heartbeat this season. Go, Si You!]

This circle would always draw in newcomers. Under the stark contrast between the black fans' long-term abuse and Si You's actual behavior, people's rebellious instincts would sooner or later be stirred up.

In front of the screen, the young girl who had once said she was scared watching Horror Livestream alone worried about Si You while delightedly noticing that many people had flooded into his fan forum. Si You's fan count was slowly growing too!

Si You lowered his head and dug up wild vegetables, thinking this job should have gone to someone lovesick. Combined with the stormy weather, it was a full-stack sobriety buff.

Si You was observant. He saw that the farmers first pinched the roots, pushed them into the soil, then pulled with a little force to uproot the entire plant. The roots came out white and tender, making them look much better.

"You can eat the roots too?" Si You asked.

One of the older men smiled. "You can. They're a little bitter, but they clear heat and toxins, and they're crisp."

Si You copied him, and his movements gradually became faster.

A camera followed closely beside him. Rainwater ran down his forehead and gathered on the young man's long lashes. Whenever it became uncomfortable, Si You raised a hand to wipe it away. His expression was calm, and he almost seemed to blend into the hazy green of the mountain wilderness. He did not even need editing.

[Damn... what kind of god-tier looks are these?]

A person's behavior and temperament could influence their appearance to some extent. That was why some people with ordinary features could make others feel refreshed, while others with delicate looks came off as mean, harsh, mediocre, and vulgar. There were plenty of beautiful actresses in the entertainment industry, but truly handsome male stars were far rarer. Once Si You's irritating traits had been stripped away, he was like a pearl beneath the moonlight—his radiance impossible to hide.

Fei Chang and Shao Ancheng refused to fall behind, but their learning ability was clearly far inferior to Si You's. Most of the wild vegetables they picked had their leaves and roots separated, with milky white sap spilling out and making them look unappealing.

Very soon, Si You's competitive streak began to show. He and the farmer found a new patch of wild vegetables, and the two silently bent down and started picking. After ten minutes, their waists ached, their thumbs and index fingers had gone numb, and they were nearly frozen stiff, but neither showed any intention of stopping.

The older man had accepted money from the production crew to guide these celebrities. In truth, for ordinary people like him, getting to know these stars would not change their lives. They still had to work honestly. Besides, celebrities were too delicate, and bringing them around was tiring.

The older man was getting tired. He turned to look at Si You and discovered that after his index finger had been pinched red from plucking vegetables, he had switched to using his middle finger...

The older man fell silent. The older man was no longer tired. The older man matched Si You's pace and began plucking rapidly.

"Brother Si You." Xue Boyu came over. His basket already had a layer of wild vegetables in it, and he wanted to see how much Si You had picked. Instead, he found that Si You's basket was already full. Worried they would spill out, Si You pressed them down with his free hand.

Xue Boyu was utterly astonished!

"Perfect timing," Si You said. "Trade your basket with me."

Xue Boyu said, "Huh? I can pick my own."

"Stop talking and hurry!" Si You urged. "There's really no room left."

"O-okay!"

Xue Boyu held the heavy basket of wild vegetables and only belatedly realized that Si You was competing with the older man over who could pick more wild vegetables...

When there was one person in a group brimming with energy, it motivated everyone else. Si You's hands occasionally moved so fast they left afterimages. Jiang Yao watched his technique and soon found it interesting. Her body warmed up as well. Her nose was full of the fresh mixed scent of soil and plants, and there were no greasy, foul-smelling men dragging her down with conversation. Jiang Yao felt much more relaxed. She hummed as she picked, the rhythm growing lighter and quicker. It was a new tune.

When Jiang Yao stopped, Si You turned around and praised her. "That sounded great!"

Jiang Yao was thrilled. "Right?"

After they finished picking the wild vegetables and headed back, sunlight broke through the clouds, revealing scenery completely different from what they had seen on the way there.

Jiang Yao even jogged over to kick at the puddles.

Seeing that she had cheered up, Xue Boyu went to tease her. The two seemed to have turned three years old again, splashing water at each other with all their might.

Shao Ancheng and Fei Chang were chatting leisurely as well.

The older man walked beside Si You, puffing on his dry tobacco pipe. He felt that these celebrities had been especially easy to lead around—so easy that his hands were sore.

To be honest, Si You's hands were sore too.

Everyone had exceeded the director's expectations. Almost every basket was full, and Si You alone had filled three bamboo baskets!

The others sold their wild vegetables in exchange for supplies. Si You had more options. He sold two baskets and kept one, intending to eat it himself that night.

"Si You, take me with you next time there's a task like this," Jiang Yao said as she bounced over.

Si You said, "No problem."

"Haha, shouldn't Yaoyao be calling me instead?" Zhang Jianlin, who had appeared in the doorway at some point, cut in.

Jiang Yao's expression visibly turned cold.

[Jiang Yao: disgusted.jpg.]

[Jiang Yao is being really rude.]

The moment that was said, Jiang Yao's fans immediately seized on it to curse back.

[Yeah, yeah, yeah, Zhang Jianlin is so polite for making a girl go pick wild vegetables in the pouring rain. No one says women must always be given special treatment, but hiding behind others like that is seriously lame.]

[With Zhang Jianlin's huge face, can he even be watched once his hairstyle gets ruined?]

[The more I look at his face, the less I like it.]

Si You carried his basket inside and sneezed. Then a warm blanket wrapped around him. Jiang Tingxu took the wild vegetables and said to Si You, "Go upstairs and take a shower."

"Mm." Si You answered, then seemed to recall something. "The body wash is in your room."

Jiang Tingxu handed him a room key. "Shower in my room."

The comments filled with question marks, and even Si You froze for a moment.

Jiang Tingxu admired his expression for several seconds before saying, "One of the hot water pipes burst and is still being repaired. Based on the layout, your room has no hot water."

Si You let out an "Ah." "Okay, thank you."

[Si You, what incredible luck you have!]

[Bring a camera inside, please. I want to see what my husband's room looks like.]
