A Goose-Triggered Disaster 2

She looked at He Jinyuan sincerely. "Do you need to go to the hospital? Your face is so pale—you must be badly hurt."

Meeting Chu Xiyue's gaze, He Jinyuan did not know why, but he always felt as though she could see right through him. The feeling prickled at his back.

He looked at Chu Xiyue warily. "Thank you for your concern, Junior Sister Chu. I'm fine. I just need to rest for a while."

Seeing how insistent he was, Chu Xiyue could only respect his wishes.

She shook her head and carried the basket off to pick plums first.

But after only two steps, Chu Xiyue suddenly heard the system announce loudly, [Woohoo! They're arguing over there!]

Chu Xiyue stopped and looked back. "Who's arguing with whom? Where? Did Xu Wenchong finally discover Wan Zhen and He Jinyuan's affair and start arguing with Wan Zhen? Let me see!"

[No, it's Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou! The director of their group just asked a question about first love, but Li Fan'er's answer had absolutely nothing to do with Zhao Xizhou. Zhao Xizhou got jealous, and the two of them turned off their livestream and started arguing!]

Chu Xiyue said, "An ex-couple showdown?! Oh my god! That's exciting too! I'm going to take a look!"

As she spoke, Chu Xiyue turned and headed toward Li Fan'er. As she walked, she casually explained to the camera, "The plums over there look better. I'm going there to pick some."

Following the system's guidance, Chu Xiyue arrived at a spot where she could not see Li Fan'er or Zhao Xizhou, though she could faintly hear the sounds of their argument.

Chu Xiyue pretended to pick a few plums, then strained her ears to listen to the questioning voices drifting over.

But she was a little too far away, and the sounds came through in fragments. If she went any closer, Li Fan'er and the others would notice her.

Fortunately, the system gave Chu Xiyue a vivid live commentary—

[Zhao Xizhou is getting a little emotional. He's asking Li Fan'er who her first love was!]

[Li Fan'er coldly told him it was none of his business! What a clean, decisive answer!]

[Zhao Xizhou seems hurt by Li Fan'er's coldness. With reddened eyes and a hoarse voice, he asks Li Fan'er, "Then what were all those years between us?"]

[Li Fan'er is keeping a cold face and saying nothing!]

[Oh my god! Zhao Xizhou, eyes red, pins Li Fan'er against a tree and kisses her! Li Fan'er slaps Zhao Xizhou!]

Chu Xiyue:!

She accidentally plucked off a still-unripe plum, her breathing quickening. "Is it really that intense over there?"

A whole red-eyed, waist-grabbing, wall-pinning-kiss romance scene immediately sprang into her mind. She only wished she could become that tree and see it herself!

[What is Chu Xiyue doing? Why does she look so absent-minded?]

[She doesn't want to work, so she's putting on an act and slacking off.]

There were very few people in Chu Xiyue's livestream. Aside from He Jinyuan's fans who disliked her, there were only casual viewers who had stayed for her looks, so the audience did not notice her unusual behavior.

Meanwhile, after resting for a while, the pain in that unspeakable area had eased somewhat. Only then did He Jinyuan find Chu Xiyue under another cameraman's guidance and pick plums with her.

Because of the pain in that area, He Jinyuan had no mood to create entertaining moments for the show. He only wanted to finish the task and get down the mountain as quickly as possible, so their group was the first to complete it.

Wan Zhen's group came next, while Li Fan'er and Zhao Xizhou's group placed third. Everyone noticed that Li Fan'er seemed somewhat emotional, but they were all adults. Since Li Fan'er said nothing, they could not press her.

Chu Xiyue looked at Zhao Xizhou's face longer than anyone else did. Although he was wearing makeup, if one looked closely, the faint mark of a slap could still be seen.

They went down the mountain. None of them had done farm work before, and by now they were all starving, with none of the cheerful mood they had had on the way up.

As they passed a pond at the village entrance, they saw a large snow-white goose lying on the grass beside it.

He Jinyuan casually remarked, "That goose is really fat."

The goose, which had been preening its feathers by the roadside, stopped moving and lifted its head, fixing He Jinyuan with its little black-bead eyes.

Unaware of anything amiss, He Jinyuan continued, "It would definitely be delicious in an iron-pot goose stew."

The goose seemed to understand the words "iron-pot goose stew." It sprang to its feet with a flap, honking several times as killing intent flickered in its stare at He Jinyuan.

Chu Xiyue quietly took several steps back, but He Jinyuan did not realize anything was wrong and continued, "Cantonese roast goose is good too. I had roast goose once in Guangdong, and it tasted amazing."

Chu Xiyue had already sensed that something was off. She pulled Li Fan'er a few steps to the side, away from the main group.

Just as Li Fan'er was wondering why, a flock of sleek, glossy-feathered geese suddenly charged out from the path beside them. They raised their heads and honked, spread their wings, and rushed toward the group in perfect formation.

The scene became utterly chaotic. People ran in front while the geese chased behind. In the panic, nobody knew who had stepped on and knocked off He Jinyuan's shoe.

Later, everyone realized that the geese were only targeting He Jinyuan, so they stopped. At the front of the flock, He Jinyuan staggered as he ran, bobbing up and down.

The livestream was still on. Everyone saw He Jinyuan's figure suddenly rise and fall, and the comment feed went blank. After a long while, one comment slowly floated past—

[Is this the legendary one step at five foot seven, the next at five foot ten?]

A Goose-Triggered Disaster 2

The comments fell silent again for a while, then the screen flooded with [Hahahahaha]. They had seen the scene from the main livestream. The viewers there came from all walks of life, and the River Fans' attempts to control the comments or explain were drowned out by the comments from passersby.

The system explained to Chu Xiyue, [He Jinyuan's official height is six feet, but his actual barefoot height is only five foot nine. He wears shoes with two-inch lifts, then falsely adds another inch, making himself six feet.]
