Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

It's so hard to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad ones! Look at our once ethereal, otherworldly beauty, how wicked she's become!

[This is called "being influenced by one's surroundings"! They've all been led astray by that brat Fang Yu!]

[Little Ju, don't cry. Wipe away your tears. At worst, we'll just find a guy from a remote village to marry and eat at banquets every day!]

At this moment, Fang Yu had already filled his cup with hot cola again.

He held the paper cup in his hand and naturally turned to face Chen Daoming and Zhang Manyu on the other side of the table.

One second he was a carefree, slovenly street urchin from Northeast China.

The next second, Fang Yu leaned forward slightly, his face beaming with smiles:

"Teacher Chen, Teacher Zhang, we are so sorry for not being able to entertain you properly!"

"The presence of two such distinguished figures as you in Mohe is an honor to this humble place, and even the snow outside seems to be melting faster than usual!"

"There are too many people and time is tight today, so this is just a simple meal. I don't know if it suits your tastes, teachers?"

This shower of compliments was deafening.

The main strategy is to take the initiative and show a strong attitude.

However, Chen Daoming didn't even lift his eyelids, completely ignoring his fancy rhetoric.

The old man slowly swallowed a bite of meat and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Only then did he lift his eyelids with a half-smile and stare at Fang Yu.

"Fang Yu, this dish is indeed quite good."

"On such a cold day, this food warms the heart."

Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, continuing to maintain his perfectly timed silly grin and nodding vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Daoming changed the subject:

"However, I do have a question."

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained as steady as a rock.

"Please ask."

"If you have any questions, I will answer them to the best of my knowledge."

Chen Daoming gently stroked the rim of the paper cup with his fingertips, his tone soft and languid:

"Just now, we met an old lady in charge of the vegetable preparation shed."

He stared into Fang Yu's eyes and added quietly:

"Looking at that old lady's features, she looks exactly like you."

"If I'm not mistaken, it must be your mother, right?"

There was a sudden silence around the main table for a few seconds.

Hua Yu's ears perked up quietly.

Ju Jingyi's eyes widened, and she even softened her breathing.

Liu Yifei, who was standing next to her, immediately covered her forehead.

Spicy!

If Fang Yu answers one wrong word, his fledgling acting career will probably come to an end right here in this Northeast greenhouse!

however.

It only took 0.01 seconds.

After the brain's CPU burns out.

Fang Yu's eyes widened suddenly.

His face was etched with "clear stupidity".

"Who?"

"Who is it?"

"Looks like me?"

Then, he turned to look at Liu Yifei, pretending to confirm:

"Do we have someone like that at our vegetable preparation shed?"

"Wasn't my mom busy working in the village all day? When did she go to the city?!"

They didn't give Liu Yifei a chance to speak at all.

Fang Yu turned around abruptly, meeting Chen Daoming's seemingly all-seeing eyes without flinching.

"Oh dear, Teacher Chen! You must have mistaken me for someone else!"

Fang Yu slapped his thigh and exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something:

"I know who you're talking about!"

"It should be one of my... yes! My distant cousin!"

The people at the main table: ? ? ?

"That's right! It's my distant cousin!"

Fang Yu got more and more excited as he spoke, his speech becoming incredibly fast.

"I can't even remember this old lady's name. She never shows up for ages! I guess she heard they're offering free meals here, so she came to join the fun and freeload!"

He spread his hands, emphasizing a lightning-fast cut:

"We're not familiar with each other at all, we're unrelated!"

Immediately afterwards, Fang Yu gritted his teeth and patted his chest to guarantee:

"Don't worry, Teacher Chen! If she offends either of you, I will definitely talk to her later!"

"If it's a bento box that should be deducted, deduct a bento box; if it's a chicken leg that should be deducted, deduct a chicken leg!"

These words were spoken with resounding force and righteous indignation.

Liu Yifei, standing next to her, bit her lower lip so hard that her nails almost dug into her palms, trying to keep herself from laughing out loud.

Too bad!

In front of everyone, he demoted his own mother to the "illegal worker's cousin's mother"!

She could already picture Aunt Zhao watching the replay that night, then chasing Fang Yu all over the yard with her shoe sole in hand.

At this moment, the live stream room was completely covered by a dense barrage of "???" and "hahahaha".

[Holy crap! Does anyone in the family understand this?! This is what you call excessive filial piety!]

[Hahaha, what the hell is this distant cousin's mom!]

[Zhao Guifang: My precious son, whom I carried for ten months and gave birth to, was forced into becoming an illegal laborer's cousin for the sake of his future?]

[Auntie, please don't watch the live stream!]

Looking at Fang Yu's nonsensical act, where even a single eyelash was being used to cooperate with the performance.

Chen Daoming's carefully maintained air of authority finally crumbled with a "pfft".

"Hahahahaha!"

The old man pointed at Fang Yu, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and shook his head repeatedly in admiration.

"You little rascal!"

"That quick-thinking mind, coupled with a skin thicker than a city wall... he's born to make a living in the entertainment industry!"

"OK."

The old man winked mischievously.

"Distant cousin, I'll remember you, old man."

Zhang Manyu, standing next to her, laughed so hard she almost fell over, then elegantly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Fang, stop acting. It's making my stomach hurt from laughing."

"We're really sorry, we wanted to give you a surprise and help you out today, but we ended up causing more trouble."

"No way, Teacher Zhang!"

Seeing that the crisis was over, Fang Yu seized the opportunity without batting an eye:

"The fact that you two can sit in the greenhouse peeling scallions at this time is the biggest surprise for netizens across the country."

"This is what it means for award-winning actors and actresses to go down to the grassroots and share the joy with the people!"

"This promotional effect is far more impressive and down-to-earth than any promotional video the production team spent tens of millions to make!"

Chen Daoming picked up the specially made cola in front of him and raised it up as if it were water instead of alcohol.

"I'm not kidding you anymore."

"To be honest, you really put on a great feast today."

"This scene, this lively atmosphere, and this warmth... it's so rare to see these days."

"Also, I just caught a glimpse of that bright red sedan chair outside, made entirely of mortise and tenon joints. It's so beautiful!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in the old man's eyes.

"You've managed to bring to life the true treasures left by our Chinese ancestors—that's remarkable!"

Hearing the elder's heartfelt praise, Fang Yu's nonchalant attitude also disappeared.

He held the paper cup with both hands and respectfully touched it to the other's cup.

"Teacher Chen, you are too kind. I am flattered."

"I was just messing around with things."

"It's enough that we can let everyone enjoy the show and learn that our old crafts are quite interesting."

Chen Daoming nodded.

"Once you're done with your work these next couple of days, let's find a quiet place and have some tea."

"Old man, I'm really craving your Yan style and Slender Gold style calligraphy."

"When the time comes, you must leave me a few pieces of calligraphy."

"Okay!"

The huge weight that had been hanging over Fang Yu's heart was finally lifted.

He readily agreed:

"It's an honor for me! Professor Chen, please feel free to call on me anytime!"
