Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 505 is simply a nightmare

The sun shone into the village the next day, but there was no trace of sunshine on the faces of Yu Nuo and Xu Haiqiao. The two men appeared in front of everyone with dark circles under their eyes, stumbling.

"Wow, is this a 'Safari Night'?" Lin Ke joked. He was full of energy, in sharp contrast to Liu Yifei who was also in good condition next to him.

"Don't mention it, it's just a nightmare!" Yunot leaned weakly against the tree nearby, "I have been fighting mice all night."

Xu Haiqiao nodded with a wry smile, "I almost thought I had become a master mouse catcher."

Director Wang couldn't help showing sympathy when he saw this scene, "It seems that you were really miserable last night. Well, considering that "My Pastoral Life" also has a humanitarian spirit, in the following days, I decided to give everyone a chance to choose where to sleep again.”

After hearing the news, Yu Nuo and Xu Haiqiao immediately cheered up. "Really? Director Wang, you are too kind!" Yu Nuo said quickly.

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, Lin Ke stood up immediately, with a challenging light in his eyes, "Did you hear that? This is an opportunity! When I was in Beidiao, I had done all kinds of hard work, including picking tea. What? Come with me!"

"Haha, Brother Lin Ke, you are seizing every opportunity to show yourself!" Zhang Bingbing joked.

Yu Nuo and Xu Haiqiao looked at each other, and fighting spirit ignited in their eyes. "We will not lose to you!" Yu Nuo said.

The villagers led them into the tea garden. The sun casts variegated shadows through the leaves, making it look particularly warm in this emerald green. Lin Ke started picking tea leaves with ease, with quick and precise movements.

"Look at me!" Lin Ke shouted, "Who said there are only pampered people in the entertainment industry?"

Liu Yifei was not to be outdone, "Let's compete! Let's see who gains more!"

At the same time, although Xu Haiqiao and Yu Nuo were in a hurry, they tried to keep up with the rhythm. "Why do I feel like I am doing farm work for the first time?" Xu Haiqiao said with a smile while picking.

"Stop talking and concentrate!" Yu Nuo responded.

As time passed, everyone was engaged in fierce but friendly competition. When the villagers saw how hard these city visitors worked to help pick tea, they also joined in to provide guidance and help.

Suddenly, "Ah!" a sharp exclamation interrupted everyone. It turned out that Zhang Bingbing accidentally slipped down the slope. "Help!" he shouted, half jokingly, half truthfully.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ke immediately dropped the tea basket in his hand and rushed over, "Stop making trouble! I thought something happened." Finally, he reached out and pulled Zhang Bingbing up to continue working.

Lin Ke was concentrating on picking tea leaves when he suddenly heard a slight exclamation behind him. He looked back and saw that Liu Yifei was unsteady on his feet and slipped directly on the slippery hillside. Without saying a word, Lin Ke quickly dropped the tea basket in his hand, stepped over and caught her steadily.

"Be careful! This mountain road is more difficult than any challenge we encountered during our northern drift." Lin Ke said half reproachfully and half concerned.

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed but also grateful, "Thank you, Lin Ke. I'm fine."

When the two of them rejoined the tea-picking procession, Yu Nuo had already sneaked into the shade of a tree to laze around unnoticed. "Xu Haiqiao!" she shouted in a low voice, "Hurry up! We can't lose to them."

Xu Haiqiao was sweating and working hard on the other side. Hearing Yu Nuo's urging, he became even more anxious, "You come to help too! What's the use of just shouting?"

"Oh, I'm exhausted." Yu Nuo pretended to be aggrieved. While everyone was busy, Zhang Bingbing teased the atmosphere: "Look at our brother Lin Ke! He is so professional even in saving beauties."

"Haha!" Everyone was amused.

But Xu Haiqiao was obviously under great pressure, "Yu Nuo, I'll go crazy if you don't come to help me!"

Under the scorching sun, Hunot was sweating profusely while picking tea leaves, but she obviously did not put all her thoughts on it. When an experienced villager came over to inspect her results, he couldn't help but frown.

"Little girl, you picked the wrong tea leaves. Look, these are all old leaves, and the taste of the tea you make is far different." Although the villager's tone was gentle, his words were full of dissatisfaction.

Yu Nuo became furious when he heard this, "This is my first time too! Wouldn't it be over if you just teach me? Do you need to say this?"

Seeing this, Xu Haiqiao hurriedly interrupted, "Yu Nuo, don't be like this. They are doing it for our own good. When we come to participate in the show, we should learn with humility."

"Hmph!" Yu Nuo obviously hasn't calmed down yet, "I know! But they can't talk like that."

Xu Haiqiao turned to the villagers and smiled, "I'm sorry, uncle, we've just been in contact for a while, please give me some advice."

The villager waved his hand, "Young people, it's normal for you to be angry. Come on, come on, I'll explain to you carefully how to choose good tea."

Lin Ke saw this scene from a distance and did not bother him. He knew that one of the most important things he learned during those years of wandering around Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou was how to deal with relationships with people - especially under pressure.

Zhang Bingbing handed Lin Ke a bottle of water on the sidelines: "Hey~ Brother Lin Ke, what are you thinking about? It's rare to see you in a daze."

Lin Ke took the water and took a sip, "It's nothing." After a pause, he added: "I just feel that everyone needs time to adapt and learn when entering a new environment."

Zhang Bingbing nodded: "Indeed. Especially when our life is recorded on camera and shown to the national audience... we have to be careful."

Lin Ke and Liu Yifei stood in a corner of the tea garden. The sunlight shone on them through the leaves, forming mottled shadows. The two of them each held a basket in their hands and looked like they had picked a lot of tea leaves.

"Haha, Liu Yifei, do you think my basket is fuller than yours?" Lin Ke smiled and raised his basket, with mountains of green tea leaves inside.

Liu Yifei curled his lips, "Huh, more quantity doesn't mean good quality. I choose carefully."

Lin Ke put down the basket and walked over, "Come on, let me see your 'careful selection'." He leaned over and looked carefully at the tea leaves in Liu Yifei's basket, "Oh! It's really good!"

At this time, other participants also sped up their actions. Although Yu Nuo and Xu Haiqiao had some setbacks before, they gradually got better under the guidance of the villagers; Zhang Bingbing and his partners worked hard to collect.

"Everyone wants to change to a better place to live!" Zhang Bingbing shouted while thinking, "Who can surpass our Captain Lin Ke today?"

Lin Ke laughed after hearing this: "Don't make trouble Zhang Bingbing! It's just a competition, the important thing is to enjoy the process."
