My performance on a breakup reality show brought Tien Hsi-wei to tears, and I became an internet sen

The nights in the countryside are quiet, without neon lights or noise, except for the occasional bark of a dog.

A family.

Li Hangliang and Mai Lin have already turned off their lights.

Mai Lin tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The earthen bed was too hard; a woman accustomed to sleeping on a Simmons mattress couldn't accept it.

"Yoko, you bastard, how can you sleep with something so hard?" Merlin muttered under his breath.

"Our tiled house is already the best among all the houses we own." As he spoke, Li Hangliang placed his own quilt on Mai Lin's mattress.

Another household.

Liang Song and He Meiyan are practicing their original rap song diligently, hoping to shine on the stage later.

If I don't show it now, I'll never have another chance.

The two of them were practically invisible under the "halo" of the other three groups of guests.

"Brother Yang is really ruthless. This tile-roofed house hasn't been lived in for at least half a year. It smells musty, and there are rats inside. How can anyone live here?"

"Wife, you should be grateful. Li Shentian Xiwei's house has a broken window and the roof leaks. It's not much better than a dilapidated house."

Why did Yang give the most dilapidated house to Li Shen?

"Don't you understand? The more dilapidated the house, the more interesting it is, and the easier it is to go viral. You think Yang Ge gave the most dilapidated house to Li Shen, but actually, he gave Li Shen the best traffic."

"Yang Ge is quite good to Li Shen."

"Okay?" Liang Song smiled but didn't say anything.

Merchants don't get up early for nothing!

The Yang family's old house.

Yangzi lay on her side on the kang (a heated brick bed), telling Huang Shengyi the story of how the huge conglomerate rose to prominence.

Huang Shengyi listened absentmindedly, then suddenly asked, "Are you really going to donate 50 yuan to the Angel Foundation?"

"Nonsense. Shouldn't we ride this wave? We're donating money, but we're giving back our reputation. Not only should we donate, we should donate in a high-profile way! If we donate 50, the live stream will get popular, and we'll earn it back quickly."

Huang Shengyi sighed, "When do you ever consider things from a business perspective?"

Yoko didn't say anything, but stroked the mottled old furniture on the kang (heated brick bed) with her large hand, and thought of her childhood.

Although his marriage with Huang Shengyi had reached the point of breaking down, Huang Shengyi was, after all, the mother of two children.

"Shengyi, I will donate this 50 in your name."

Huang Shengyi felt a touch of emotion, but also a little embarrassed: "Isn't it a bit too little?"

"Sheng Yi, others may not know my strength, but you do, don't you?"

Yoko is a typical example of someone with a lot of fame but little substance; compared to those wealthy people, she is nothing!

Even his brother's massive conglomerate is more famous than profitable.

The more titles a person has, the less real ability they often possess.

Huang Shengyi pouted, "I don't know, I don't handle money."

Huang Shengyi suddenly sat up: "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something Li Shen said—"

Yoko quickly covered Huang Shengyi's mouth: "Forget what Li Shen said, he definitely didn't have anything good to say!"

"Waaaaah~~" Huang Shengyi pulled away Yangzi's large hand, "Why are my gold and silver jewelry in your safe too? Is it really like Li Shen said, that your safe is safer than mine?"

Yoko quickly changed the subject: "The car should be here by now, right?"

……

Li Shen wiped the kang mat clean with a towel, spread out the quilt, then lay down on the kang, crossed his legs, and let his mind wander.

That curious little thing, Tian Xiwei, has gone off to seek out strange things again.

For girls who grew up in the city and came from well-off families, rural life was incredibly novel and exciting.

Just like when a certain female celebrity heard that the floor of a room in a rural area used to be made of soil, her big eyes were filled with disbelief.

Suddenly, the sound of a car came from outside, followed by a knock on the rusty gate of the courtyard.

Li Shen walked into the courtyard, opened the door, and saw a young man in a suit and tie looking at him with a big smile.

The young man spoke politely:

"Professor Li, please get in the car with Professor Tian. We'll take you both to the villa to rest. We'll bring you back before the recording of the show tomorrow. This is a special arrangement by Mr. Yang."

Li Shen looked at the car behind the young man.

The Lincoln, a luxury brand, is even extra-long, a good eight or nine meters long, like an old-fashioned wedding car—a bit tacky.

"Where are the others?"

"Teacher Li, others don't receive this treatment; this is a special arrangement made for you by Mr. Yang."

When we got to Yoko's turf, he treated me so well?

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

"Teacher Li, don't worry, it's already late at night. The production team has finished filming long ago, and all the cameras have been turned off. There won't be any footage leaked."

Li Shen persuaded the stretch Lincoln to leave, and just as he was about to return to his room, he heard meowing coming from a house in the backyard.

Li Shen followed the sound and found Tian Xiwei squatting under the grape trellis, playing with a kitten.

White cat: "Meow~~~"

Tian Xiwei rested her chin on her hands, blinking her big eyes: "Meow~~~"

White cat: "Meow~~~"

Tian Xiwei: "Meow meow meow~~~"

Li Shen frowned: "Meow~~~"

Tian Xiwei looked up at Li Shen in surprise: "Hey, what brings you here?"

"Let's learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow, and act cute in front of you, oh meow meow meow meow. Do you like this song? We'll save it for your future stage performances."

"Li Shen!!! Oh no, where's my cat?"

"Let's go back to singing practice."

"I don't want this song!"

"So picky. Oh, by the way, Yoko just sent a car over to pick us up and take us to the villa."

"No, no, no!" Tian Xiwei waved her hands repeatedly, "I think this place is quite novel."

"That's because you're only staying for a day or two. I wonder what you'll do when you need to use the restroom at night!"

Thinking about the toilet problem, Li Shen looked at Tian Xiwei with sympathy.

Tian Xiwei tilted her head and looked at him: "What's wrong?!"

Have you ever used a dry toilet in the countryside?

What is a dry toilet?

"I... then don't tell me this is your first time in the countryside."

"No, this is the second time. I came to the countryside with my family when I was in middle school and stayed for one night."

Li Shen asked in confusion, "Then what did you do when you needed to use the toilet last time you came to the countryside?"

"Let's go to the RV. My dad rented it specially, taking into account my need to use the restroom."

Li Shen sighed. Tian Xiwei really lived in a loving family; no wonder she had such a cheerful and adorable personality.

A happy family of origin is really important for a child.

"Tian Xiwei, let's walk out of the village."

"OK."

Walking along the village road towards the outside of the village, tall willows line both sides of the road.

A night breeze blew, and the willow leaves rustled and danced.

Tian Xiwei walked happily ahead with her hands behind her back.

"Tian Xiwei, tonight you are just like you were on the beach that night, relaxed and carefree."

Tian Xiwei turned around, revealing a bright smile: "Yes, oh!"

The evening breeze gently caressed the beautiful woman, ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead and dispelling the warmth of the summer night.

Li Shen was speechless: "Stop deliberately changing your colloquialisms; they sound even worse now!"

Ever since the last time the partners switched roles, Tian Xiwei, who was successfully disgusted by Li Shen, really dislikes the interjection "ah," finding it too naive and innocent.

So, she's been trying to correct herself these past two days. Every time she realizes she's made an "ah" sound, she immediately corrects herself to "ah," resulting in several instances of "ah, ah" sounds in the past two days.

Tian Xiwei blinked her big eyes: "Does it make you feel even worse?"

"Um."

"Why are you in pain, ahhhhhh..."

"Tian! hope! Wei!!!"

"Li Shen, I always correct my mistakes."

Li Shen waved his hand: "'Ah' is not a mistake, there's no need to change it."

"I'll change, but please understand, this is my painful adjustment period, ahhhhh..."

Tian Xiwei walked around him happily.

Li Shen covered his ears tightly: "Tian Xiwei, that's enough!"

"hey-hey!"

Tian Xiwei smiled happily, her dimples brimming with the warmth and romance of summer.

Her beautiful face was bathed in the silvery moonlight, so relaxed and content.

Li Shen was stunned.

If time could stand still, he would want to freeze Tian Xiwei at this moment! Freeze her in this gentle moonlight and night breeze.

May she always be free from worries, anxieties, and pressures, just like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, just like the girl who was wading in the waves on the beach 10 days ago.
