Fu Yunyi searched through all the people he knew, including his childhood friends and buddies, but he wasn't sure if any of them had time.
So Fu Yunyi said, "I need to ask who's free first, but don't worry, I'll definitely choose those I can get along with."
However, he wouldn't befriend people who look down on others because of their family background.
Xue Ranran: "Oh dear, we're at a disadvantage! We specifically told you who we wanted to invite, but you and Teacher Xia didn't have any concrete information."
Xia Zhiyi helplessly, "I'm sorry, I don't have many friends."
Moreover, he is an ordinary person, and most of the people he knows are also ordinary people; many of them are actually quite hesitant to come in front of the camera.
By saying this now, Xia Zhiyi was actually giving everyone a heads-up—his spot might be vacant here.
Although Xia Wanyi Xia Wanyi a star in the original storyline, her reason for entering the industry was because of Xia Zhiyi; she herself was not someone who liked to perform in front of the camera.
Under these circumstances, Xia Zhiyi would not take the initiative to bring Xia Wanyi to the front of everyone.
As for relatives, after my parents' accident, due to some issues of interest, my father's side of the family basically broke off relations, and my mother's side...
Well, the Song Corporation must be in complete chaos right now, so it's impossible for Xia Zhiyi to be all lovey-dovey with the Song family.
So Xia Zhiyi only planned to chat with her sister for a few minutes before resting; whether she would come or not was not important.
Fu Yunyi sat next to Xia Zhiyi. After hearing Xue Ranran's words, he smiled helplessly and said, "It's not my fault. I can see that you all sincerely wanted to invite close friends and family, so I certainly couldn't invite ordinary friends, could I?"
"Well, everyone's pretty busy, so I'm not sure who'll be available."
Xue Ranran: "Alright, handsome guys all befriend other handsome guys, I'm sure Brother Fu's friends are handsome guys too!"
Fu Yunyi: "... He might not even be handsome."
Xue Ranran nodded. "I understand, it's a beautiful older sister."
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Fu Yunyi hissed and stroked his chin, "You've reminded me. I suddenly realized I don't have many female friends. What's going on?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Xue Ranran's eyes widened. "How is that possible? Aren't you very popular?"
Wang Chengran: " Brother Fu is so handsome, you must have a lot of admirers, right?"
Qin Yue Qin Yue didn't speak, but what she was thinking about at that moment was when the show had just started, and she was still thinking about how to build a relationship with Fu Yunyi, become friends, expand her network, and find resources.
Although she later discovered that everyone was quite genuine and straightforward, without any pretense or scheming, as Qin Yue had previously anticipated, she simply relaxed and treated it as if she had truly come to experience rural life.
Looking back now, although her relationship with Fu Yunyi wasn't particularly close, they had grown familiar and natural over the days they spent together. Even if they weren't friends, they were certainly... colleagues?
As for why they are not close...
Qin Yue: The male guest's attention was basically all on another male guest, and the female guest said she was powerless to do anything about it.
If Fu Yunyi always acted this way when interacting with other people, focusing entirely on spending time with male friends, then it's quite normal that he doesn't have many female friends.
Xia Zhiyi, who knew the truth of the world, was very clear at this moment that there were many reasons why Fu Yunyi was in this situation, but the fundamental reason was that he was the male lead.
Yes, it's a 1v1 romance novel where both characters are virgins.
Therefore, before the female lead appears, Fu Yunyi will have many people who like him, but there will definitely be very few who can get close to him.
That's normal. Fu Yunyi isn't playing the role of a playboy.
Fu Yunyi was still pondering to himself. "People who pursue me... you definitely wouldn't believe me if I said there aren't any, but I'm not interested in dating, so I've rejected them all."
After saying that, Fu Yunyi added, "Besides, the people who pursue me aren't necessarily my friends, and being popular doesn't mean I have to accept everyone."
Wang Chengran and Xue Ranran exchanged a glance, still finding it unlikely.
But with the cameras rolling, it's not appropriate for anyone to delve into this, otherwise Fu Yunyi's scandals would be trending tonight.
So everyone tacitly changed the subject.
Xue Ranran: "Since we invited them here, we can't leave out any of the activities they should experience, otherwise it would be a wasted trip."
Wang Chengran: "If we're picking corn, there's only a little bit left in the cornfield. Let's leave it for tomorrow and take them there when they arrive."
Xue Ranran: "Peeling corn is also an experience for us, and it also lets the audience see our progress."
Wang Chengran: "You can also experience herding cattle. If you're relatively light, you can even ride a cow."
Xue Ranran: "I can try riding a pig too. With Teacher Xia here, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Wang Chengran: "Chopping firewood is a bit dangerous, so the children don't need to go. If there are male guests, let them go."
The two of them talked back and forth, leaving the others completely bewildered.
Xia Zhiyi: "... I think we can discuss these activities after we arrive."
Otherwise, they might not even dare to come after seeing the live stream.
Riding a cow is one thing, but why are you including riding a pig in this activity too?
Speaking of riding a pig, it all started a couple of days ago when a pig somehow escaped from a family's pigsty and ran all over the mountain. It happened to bump into Wang Chengran a fright.
The pig was startled too.
But the pigs just wouldn't stop.
The pig charged straight at Wang Chengran, startling everyone around. At that moment, Wang Chengran demonstrated what he had learned recently in front of everyone.
He leaped up and dodged the pig's charge.
Yeah, and then it got stuck on the pig's back.
They're sitting backwards.
Wang Chengran: "Waaaaaah! Teacher Xia! Master! Help!"
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
After Xia Zhiyi rescued the person, Wang Chengran belatedly realized it was funny and asked Xia Zhiyi if a pig could be ridden as a horse.
Xia Zhiyi:...
Xia Zhiyi: 6
But riding a pig... there's really nothing wrong with that.
So, with Xia Zhiyi controlling the pig, Wang Chengran rode the pig again.
He also invited Xue Ranran, who was passing by, to ride with him.
As a female guest, Xue Ranran should have been more mindful of her image and declined Zhu Zhu's invitation.
But Xue Ranran truly lived up to her reputation as a woman who could form a bickering couple with Wang Chengran. She stared at the pig and Wang Chengran a long while, and then... she agreed.
Xia Zhiyi:...
Xia Zhiyi: As expected of you all.
