Chapter 23 - Two Groups

Once the shooting started, the guests were divided into two groups. One would stay with Xie Xi Yan while the other would stay with Liu Man. 

The production team brought out a box containing a few folded papers. The guest had to pick a paper to see whether they would get Xie Xi Yan or Liu Man's team. 

In the end, Ning Wei, Ai Lun, and He Zhen were assigned to follow Xie Xi Yan.

Meanwhile, Ding Chuan, Wu Lian Jie, Lin Zhu, and Ning Yue were with Liu Man.

Ning Wei was quite satisfied with this arrangement. She had worked with He Zhen previously and felt that the two could work together well. As for Ai Lun… He was their leader and very reliable.

She would feel assured, being with Ai Lun throughout the show.

Fortunately, they were assigned to be under Xie Xi Yan. Otherwise, Ning Wei would feel very bad for Ai Lun as the only man in the group.

He Zhen stood between Ning Wei and Ai Lun with a bright smile on her face.

She felt lucky, being the only girl in the team.

"He Zhen, you're the only lady in the team," Liu Man spoke. "How are you feeling?"

He Zhen laughed. Her face turned redder as she glanced at the boys beside her. "Sister Liu, I didn't expect to be the only girl in the team. You could say that it's my luck."

"I want to say that I am jealous," Liu Man said. Her gaze then fell on her partner, Xie Xi Man. "But with Brother Xie around, I don't think that I should feel that way."

Xie Xi Yan's eyes went wide. "Liu Man, what do you mean?"

Liu Man smiled while putting on an innocent look. "Anyway, I have an extra person in my group. Why would I be jealous? Brother Xie. You'd better beware. This time, my team and I will win the game."

The hosts argued briefly before they finally revealed what the guest would have to do.

The two groups will be sent to two different vegetable farms where they will work hard to help the farmers. The teams were expected to finish their task before the end of the day.

If they do not finish their task in time, the team's dinner will be delayed.

Ning Wei and her team climbed up the tractor before they headed to the next location.

Once they arrived, Xie Xi Yan jumped out of the tractor first, followed by Ning Wei.

Turning around, Ning Wei found that He Zhen was struggling to jump down. She stretched her hand and met He Zhen's eyes. "Don't be afraid. I will catch you if you fall."

Her words made He Zhen blush. 

She placed her hand into Ning Wei's hand shyly and let her help her down.

"Xiao Wei, look at you," Xie Xi Yan said with a hint of tease in his voice. "The show is only beginning, but it didn't stop you from starting to flirt."

Ning Wei had a helpless look on her face.

She was only helping He Zhen, who seemed afraid of jumping from a higher ground. How could Xie Xi Yan say that she was flirting?

"Brother Xie, don't tease him," He Zhen said. "Ning Wei was only helping."

"We were in the same team previously," Ning Wei said. "What's wrong with helping a friend?"

"I already had a lot of anti-fans because of my previous role," He Zhen said. She looked at Xie Xi Yan with a pout. "Brother Xie, if Ning Wei's fans started to hate me as well, then I will blame you for this."

Xie Xi Yan laughed. "Alright. I was wrong." He looked at the camera and started to explain, "Ning Wei and He Zhen have built a sense of camaraderie after working together previously. Everyone. Don't misunderstand them."

The four of them stood around and joked for a while until the production gestured to tell Xie Xi Yan that the owner of the farm had arrived.

Once the owner was introduced, the group was taken around the place for a tour.

There were several types of vegetables that the owner had planted. However, the largest part of the farm was planted with cabbage.

In the end, the group was taken to an empty plot.

Ning Wei exchanged a look with Ai Lun and He Zhen before turning to Xie Xi Yan.

"Everyone, I'm sure that you are curious to know what we will be doing today, right?" Xie Xi Yan had a mischievous look in his eyes. "Let me tell you. The small part of land behind me belongs to your team, and within the next few days, you're staying here."

"Brother Xie, what do you mean?" Ai Lun asked.

He had watched the show previously but had never heard something like what Xie Xi Yan had announced.

"The three of you can discuss among yourselves what you're going to plant here," Xie Xi Yan continued. "When the plant grows, we are going to sell those vegetables you plant under your name. What do you think?"

The three guests turned to look at each other. 

Xie Xi Yan started to explain this project.

Other than to promote the beauty of H Town, this show was also planning to promote their fresh produce.

A lot of people did not know that H Town had a variety of vegetables planted in its farm.

In the future, they hoped that the public would support the farmers by buying their vegetables.

"Do you have any questions?" Xie Xi Yan asked.

Ning Wei raised a hand. "Brother Xie, depending on what we're going to plant, it will take months for vegetables to grow before we can sell them. Are you sure we will have plenty of time here?"

Xie Xi Yan laughed. "You don't have to worry about this. This time, your job is to work on the soil and plant your vegetables. The farmers will help you look after them. As for the vegetables… The farmers have helped us to choose a few varieties that can be harvested within a month. What do you think?"
