Chapter 69: Met My Nemesis

"Huh? Why do I have to go pick vegetables with Yunxi?"

Having finally shaken off Jiang Zhaoyue, Xu An returned to the cabin and, upon hearing the task Bai Ge had given him, his eyes were filled with resistance.

Bai Ge looked at Xu An, who looked unwilling, with a hint of a smile in her eyes.

"There are no vegetables in the fridge, someone has to go get some, right?"

"Or would you drive to town and buy some meat?"

Upon hearing this, Xu An's eyes lit up, and he was about to take on the task when he saw a mischievous glint in Bai Ge's eyes as he slowly added:

"With Zhaoyue and Uncle Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Xu An's smile vanished instantly.

With the two of them?

Is what they bought actually my meat?

Xu An tried to make one last desperate struggle.

"Sister Bai Ge, it's so hot, how can you bear to let me go pick vegetables? My leg injury hasn't healed yet!"

Upon hearing Xu An's reason, Bai Ge's gentle eyebrows curved slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of helplessness. She said softly:

"Xiao An, the doctor said you should get more sun and go for walks when you have time."

"Then...then I can go fishing! That way I can have another dish for lunch!"

Xu An glanced at the fishpond in the courtyard and his eyes lit up.

Upon hearing this, a hint of a smile flickered in Bai Ge's eyes, which were as warm as if they had been dipped in lukewarm water. She nodded, but then, as Xu An smiled, she seemed to suddenly remember something and added:

"Hmm... the fish you catch can't be traded with the villagers using Uncle Zhang's signature."

"I can't trade you your fishing gadget for it."

After saying that, seeing the struggle on Xu An's face, Bai Ge lightly added the final blow.

"It can't be a simple IOU either!"

Upon hearing Bai Ge's words, Xu An raised his head, his voice tinged with dissatisfaction.

"Sister Bai Ge, what do you mean by this? It's not like I can only hook up with cheapskates!"

"It's just picking vegetables, right away? I'll go right now!"

After saying that, Xu An walked to the side.

Bai Ge helplessly blocked Xu An's attempt to enter the living room, and pointed her slender, delicate finger towards the courtyard gate.

"Alright, Xiao An, don't even think about sneaking in. Hurry up and get out. Yun Xi is already waiting for you."

Seeing that his final scheme had been seen through, Xu An sighed helplessly and walked out of the courtyard. To his surprise, he found that not only Zhang Yunxi, but also Li Yang with red hair was there.

"Brother Xu, I heard you're going to pick vegetables. I'll go with you; one more person will make it faster."

Upon hearing this, Xu An nodded, but did not refuse.

He would gladly accept a job as a laborer.

To his surprise, Li Yang became even more enthusiastic after seeing that he agreed, and a hint of fighting spirit even flashed in his eyes.

What does it mean?

Soon, Xu An understood what Li Yang meant.

"Brother Xu, what do you think of Peach Blossom Village?"

"Ah, that's great! I think it's a very livable place!"

Xu An was thinking about how to slack off while picking vegetables when he casually replied.

Upon seeing Xu An's reply, Li Yang immediately perked up and made a disapproving expression.

"I think you're wrong, Brother Xu. The transportation in Taoyuan Village is underdeveloped, making it inconvenient to pick up takeout or packages. The education and medical resources are also poor, making it unsuitable for living."

Xu An looked at Li Yang's sudden enthusiasm with a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.

What are you babbling about?

After thinking for a moment, Xu An decided to support the guests, so he nodded again.

"Yes, you're right, this place really isn't suitable for living."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, Li Yang suddenly changed his tone again.

"But then again, the scenery here is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the vegetables and everything are all natural, so it's actually quite a good place to live."

After saying that, Li Yang looked at Xu An, who seemed a little stunned, and felt secretly pleased.

Were you surprised by him?

That's right. As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Li Yang has appeared on many variety shows. According to his experience, the most important thing for variety shows to be entertaining is to have a good show effect.

You need to have a persona.

His research showed that fans prefer celebrities with higher IQs, since smart people are always more likable.

Therefore, he decided to cultivate a persona of high intelligence for himself when he appeared on the show this time.

His words just now were comprehensive and insightful, so his persona has probably been established, right?

Xu An, standing in front of him, looked thoughtful. Did he also think that what he had just said was very profound?

Isn't that just a confrontational personality type?

Xu An looked at Li Yang in front of him, feeling genuinely puzzled.

Are there any normal people in Chen Zize's group?

However, to be fair, Li Yang's character design theory does have its merits; at least the comments section is now genuinely discussing it.

[Li Yang is right, Peach Blossom Village does indeed have its good and bad aspects.]

Indeed, I didn't expect a celebrity to have such insights; I'm starting to become a fan.

【Wait, isn't he just a double-crosser?】

All I care about is finally someone making Xu An suffer!

[That's right, that's right. As long as it makes An Gou unhappy, I'll support him even if he's a complete idiot, let alone a two-way street!]

Only Xu An's haters in the live stream don't care whether Li Yang is intelligent or playing both sides; as long as it's detrimental to Xu An, they strongly support him.

However, the haters soon discovered that Li Yang was no good either.

It doesn't seem to have any offensive power at all.

"Brother Xu, do you think what I just said makes sense?"

"Indeed, it's very profound."

Xu An nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang was delighted, but then feigned modesty and said:

"Actually, I think my views are still a bit extreme."

"Indeed, it can be improved further."

Xu An nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang frowned. "Shouldn't you be praising me at this time?"

He coughed lightly and then said:

"However, I think I am still young and have plenty of time to learn and improve."

"Indeed, you're not that old."

Li Yang sensed something was amiss, and he continued, "But then again, I'm not young anymore. Many people my age are already married and have children."

"Indeed, you're not young anymore."

Xu An nodded in agreement.

Li Yang got anxious and rattled off a bunch of things about left-brain attacking right-brain, but Xu An in front of him was like a robot, nodding whenever he saw something and agreeing whenever he was asked.

Even though he was agreeing with him, Li Yang felt increasingly frustrated as he spoke, feeling like a clown.

The people watching the live stream seemed to be having a good time.

[This is hilarious! Has Xu An loaded a "definitely" voice pack? He just keeps saying "definitely" all the time.]

[This is hilarious! Don't you guys find it funny that Li Yang rambled on and on, only to be silenced by Xu An's simple "Indeed"?]

【really!】

[Haha, I've learned my lesson! Next time I encounter a troll friend, I'll definitely say "yes!"]

[Let's disperse, let's disperse, Li Yang is no good either!]

Although Li Yang was unaware that the live stream audience had instantly turned him into a clown, he decided to try to salvage his image as a highly intelligent person.

But soon, he came up with a new method.
