One Can't Judge by Appearance
âAnother example is to take her on a trip, and choose a place that is a holy place for couples to play. There are lovers around, and if you stay together alone, you will definitely be able to develop a relationship.â
âThen what if it still doesnât work?â
âIt can only mean that person is not interested in you. Itâs better to give up early.â
âOhâ¦â¦â
Yuan Yi never thought that Yan Xi didnât like him at all. It was not how confident he was in himself but that he subconsciously avoided this question.
âCan it be more secure, for example, even if the confession fails, the relationship will not become awkward,â Yuan Yiâs tone became uncomfortable, âYou can help me think about it.â
âThen just wait until April 1st next year. Others will only take it as a joke even if you fail to confess your confession.â Zhang Wang felt that he was a little cowardly but usually quite courageous. How did he get here? Are you confused about emotional matters?
âForget it. It seems you have no reliable solution,â Yuan Yi felt that what Zhang Wang came up with were terrible ideas. He shouldnât ask Playboy for the experience. He should ask his brother about it.
But⦠His brother and his girlfriend have been dating for so many years and havenât gotten married yet. Is there really no problem with love?
The two non-marriages get together, and they probably donât want to step into the grave of marriage. He doesnât seem to be too disgusted with marrying Yan Xiaoxi?
That night, Yuan Yi posted another moment.
Yuan: Insomnia again.
As soon as this moment was posted in the circle of friends, even Yuan Bo couldnât help leaving a message to his younger brother. He told him to rest well, not under too much work pressure, and not to carry things alone.
Yuan Yi browsed Moments for a while, and many people left comments and liked his post, but there was no Yan Xiaoxi.
She should have fallen asleep by now.
Yuan Yi thought so, opened Yan Xiâs artist Weibo, and turned to her first Weibo post.
The first Weibo post is a long strip comic that draws a story about a mother rabbit and a baby bunny. There werenât many comments on Weibo, so he turned to the first comment. The bloggerâs profile picture was of a mother rabbit, boasting how good and wonderful the painting was. The praise and joy between the lines almost overflowed the screen.
After this Weibo post, almost all Weibo comment areas have this mother rabbit. This situation has been going on for several months. Then she never appeared again, and Yan Xi has not updated Weibo in the past half a year.
Yuan Yi clicked on Mother Rabbitâs Weibo, but the blogger didnât post many Weibo. Half of them were reposting Yan Xiâs Weibo.
This is⦠Yan Xiâs motherâs Weibo, right?
Although he has never seen how Yan Xi gets along with her mother. Yuan Yiâs intuition tells him that the relationship between mother and daughter must be very good.
Unknowingly flipped through Weibo for an hour or two. When Yuan Yi fell asleep, he was still thinking about Yan Xiâs Weibo post on New Yearâs Eve a year ago.
The rabbit father, rabbit mother, and rabbit baby stand by the window, watching the fireworks outside together.
Warm and beautiful like a dream.
âXiao Yan, are you going to follow?â Zhao Peng squatted on the side of the road, looking at the old farmers tending vegetables in the vegetable field and then at the mud on the soles of their feet. His whole body was about to collapse.
âIf we donât follow the shots, how can we prove this is their real-life routine?â Yan Xi specially wore a pair of high-top leather shoes when it rained last night. She tied her hair behind her back with a headband, walked to the old man, and said, âSir, is there anything I can do to help?â
âGirl, hurry up. You girls in the city canât do these rough jobs.â The old manâs forehead is already wrinkled, his skin is dark, and his body looks strong. âI donât need to do much work alone; the machines can finish it. Itâs not like a few decades ago, such a piece of land would keep the whole family busy for a long time.â
âItâs okay, just think Iâm here to join in the fun.â Yan Xi helped the old man put the dug sweet potatoes into the basket, and her white and clean hands were soon stained with mud.
When the old man is free, he also likes to watch âThose Things Around Usâ at home, so he has a very good impression of Yan Xi, the host. Now seeing her get dirty, his heart aches. Seeing that Yan Xi insisted on helping, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree, but he asked Yan Xi if she was tired and needed a rest.
Yan Xi didnât take long to get acquainted with the old man. The old man told her some interesting old stories, which made Yan Xi keep asking about the plot behind them. The old man was even more proud and told the story that was originally a bit mysterious, full of doubts, ups and downs.
Yan Xi and Zhao Peng had lunch at the old manâs house, and the dishes on the table were all picked from the field. They tasted refreshing and tender. Yan Xi couldnât hold back, so she used half a bowl of rice too much.
She touched her slightly protruding belly, thankful she had a physique like her mother, not her father. Otherwise, she would definitely be too fat to be photographed.
At noon, the two elderly people took a lunch break for an hour. Then the old lady went out to pick vegetables, and the old man continued to pick up sweet potatoes. The baskets of sweet potatoes were moved to the electric tricycle. When chasing the old lady decades ago, the old man hummed and told Yan Xi about the romantic deed.
Speaking of the funny thing, Yan Xi and the old man laughed together. Probably because they got along so happily that day before Yan Xi and Zhao Peng left. They also received sweet potatoes, jujubes, and fresh fruits and vegetables from the old man and lady.
âDonât worry, these are healthy vegetables that havenât used chemicals. After eating them, come to uncleâs house next time.â The old man patted his chest, âI donât have many other things here,but there are quite a lot of these natural fruits and vegetables.â
Yan Xi repeatedly nodded, promising that she would visit again if she had the opportunity in the future, and then drove away from this peaceful village.
âXiao Yan, you can do it,â Zhao Peng sat in the passenger seat and said to Yan Xi, who was driving, âI found that you are very popular with old men and old ladies. Every time you do programs related to the elderly, you are in these old peopleâs hearts. You are like their own granddaughters. I have been a videographer for so many years and have dealt with many hosts. I have never seen a host like you who specializes in getting old peopleâs favorability.â
âBecause I am a maverick, a very different kind of firework.â Yan Xiâs tied hair is loose and drooping in the back. This style is more like the heroine in a bitter drama. âI think these old men and women are very good. Yes, the legendary story they told is also very interesting, I almost believed it.â
âThese stories are told by grandparents to coax granddaughters and grandchildren,â Zhao Peng shook his head, âDo high-achieving students believe this?â
âBelieve it or not, it doesnât matter. The important thing is that they tell it well. The story contains the fantasy color of the last century,â Yan Xiâs eyes lit up, and she felt she had a theme for her next comic.
Their country has a vast territory, and different customs and legends exist in different places. She can compile warm and touching stories based on these magical legends.
These legends are also part of the culture, and it must be very meaningful to be able to draw them with a pen.
After sending Zhao Peng home and having dinner at Brother Zhaoâs house by the way, Yan Xi drove home slowly.
As soon as the car parked in the garage, her cell phone rang frantically.
âHello.â
âYan Xiaoxi, where are you?â
âI just came home. Whatâs wrong?â Yan Xi was slightly anxious when he heard Yuan Yiâs voice, âWhat happened?â
âNo, nothing, Iâll just ask,â Yuan Yiâs voice calmed down instantly, âDonât forget about tomorrowâs party, Iâm worried you wonât be able to find a place, Iâll pick you up tomorrow morning.â
âWill that be too troublesome?â Yan Xi was a little embarrassed.
âHmph, if you know itâs troublesome, get up early tomorrow,â Yuan Yi said coldly, âIâll hang up if itâs okay.â
The tone seemed to be that she took the initiative to call him.
Yan Xi clicked her tongue, and it rang again before she could put the phone in her bag. This time it was Chen Pei calling.
âXiao Yan, where are you now?â
âWhatâs going on today? Have you made it home?â
âI just came home, sister Chen, what is it?â
âThank God, I read the news that there was a series of car accidents on the road you must pass through when you go back to the city. A woman in her twenties was seriously injured and has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. I thoughtâ¦â She stopped a few times, âItâs good that youâre fine, youâve worked hard, you should go to bed early.â
It turns out that Yuan Yi called because he was worried that she might have a car accident?
Why is this person so awkward? He is obviously worried about her and pretends to be disdainful. He is already a man that old, and he is still so awkward and arrogant. There is really nothing she can do about him.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Yi slumped on the leather chair. He didnât sleep well last night, and today he had two meetings in a row. Suddenly, he saw a car accident on a certain road. The car was exactly the same as Yan Xiâs usual car. The report also said a young lady in her twenties was seriously injured, so he couldnât help thinking of Yan Xi.
Why did he forget that there is a saying called âThe disaster will last for a thousand yearsâ It is not a big deal for her to be hit by a lamp, so how could such a thing happen?
Thinking of this, he pressed the call button on the table, and soon Assistant Meng walked in: âBoss, are you feeling unwell?â
Why is his face so white? Itâs scary to look at.
âIâm fine. Please check the information of an injured person for me. I want to donate to her anonymously.â Yuan Yi pointed to the news and asked Assistant Meng to come over and read, âItâs her.â
âBoss, do you know this person?â Assistant Meng looked at the picture of the injured person whose whole body was covered in mosaics, and it was all blurred like this. Can the boss recognize her?
âDo not know.â
That family can afford to drive a Ferrari and need you to donate money. Too much money to spend?
âEven if itâs⦠accumulating virtue,â Yuan Yi patted Meng Zhuâs shoulder, âThank you for your hard work.â
Assistant Meng: Anyway, itâs your own money, so you can do whatever you like. Anyway, the money he earns is enough for him to work for several lifetimes.
âNo problem, I will handle this properly,â Assistant Meng wrote down the matter, âBoss, itâs off work, why donât you leave?â
Yuan Yi tapped his inexplicably trembling knee, not wanting his assistant to see his weak legs: âYou go first, Iâll go back after reading the materials.â
âOkay.â Assistant Meng walked out.
After Assistant Meng left, he slowly stood up from the chair, only to realize his knees were so soft that he couldnât control them.
Squeezing his knees, he took out his phone to check tomorrowâs weather.
The weather will be fine tomorrow. Can he see the moon at night?
