Lin Xiaowan confirmed that Huo Zheng had received the message before she put her phone away. At this moment, she really felt as though she had returned to the 2G era with monthly traffic of 30 million.
When Huo Zheng saw the message from her, he felt a little helpless for a moment. He also did not expect the signal to be so bad. To think there was a place with such poor signal.
Lin Xiaowan exchanged a few messages with Huo Zheng with great difficulty for a while before she finally lost her patience. Then, she sent a final message, which was fortunately successfully sent.
[Lin Xiaowan: 1 don’t want to talk anymore! I’m going to look around!]
After that, Lin Xiaowan put her phone away and left.
At the same time, Huo Zheng, who was in his office in Shengjing, called his phone through the internal phone. After giving Lin Xiaowan’s location to Assistant Song, he said, “Check this place out, and write me a simple report.”
Assistant Song was perplexed when he received such a random task. When he recovered he asked, “When do you want the report?”
“Today,” Huo Zheng replied. He looked at the time before he added, “Before you get off work.”
Assistant Song looked at his inhumane boss in disbelief before he left the office.
‘What does he mean by before 1 get off work? If it weren’t for the fact that 1 have some unfinished work, 1 would have already gotten off work!’
Assistant Song gritted his teeth and began to look through the information.
For dinner, they picked fresh vegetables from Lin Qing’s vegetable garden. The fruit and vegetable garden was large, and Lin Qing planted a variety of things. Although there were not many of them, there was a wide variety. The fruits and vegetables grew well, but they were not very big in size. In fact, they were a little small
When Lin Xiaowan saw Lin Qing’s watermelons, she found that the watermelons Lin Qing mentioned when they were by the well earlier were the size of a grapefruit. Apart from that, the rinds of the watermelon were very thin. Nonetheless, they were extremely sweet, juicy, and delicious.
Lin Xiaowan looked at the colorful fruits and vegetables in the garden when she suddenly thought of something.
‘Perhaps I can draw anthropomorphic fruits and vegetables? Teacher Hong said that my background was monotonous and boring. Perhaps, I can draw inspiration from the scenery here as well…’
Lin Xiaowan was not in a hurry to take action. She took a few photos from different angles and thought about the content and scope of her painting. She had forgotten to look at the specifications of the Venus Hope Competition, but she wanted to make her painting bigger.
At night, Lin Qing filled a thermos bottle with hot water.
The last time Lin Xiaowan had seen this kind of gaudy and old-fashioned thermos with flowery patterns was at her grandmother’s house. Her grandmother did not have a water dispenser and could only use a thermos. However, at that time, her grandmother did not even let her use the thermos, and she could only drink cold water all year round.
While Lin Xiaowan was showering, she suddenly realized that she did not bring her pajamas. When she came out of the shower, she opened her luggage, planning to find a random piece of clothing to wear. However, as soon as she opened her luggage, she saw a new set of pajamas. It was Huo Zheng who had packed it for her.
Lin Xiaowan tried to send him a few cute messages to express her gratitude, but in the end, she only managed to send a message that only contained a kissing emoji. It did not take long before she gave up. It was too taxing to send messages.
When it was time to sleep, Lin Xiaowan marveled at Huo Zheng’s foresight again. Fortunately, he had helped her pack mosquito repellent spray and bracelets. There were too many mosquitoes in the mountain village.
Gu Yuwu put on the mosquito-repellent bracelets on her wrists and ankles before she sprayed the mosquito repellent around the bed. At the same time, she said, “1 have to say, Huo Zheng’s image in my heart has never been so high before…”
‘That Qin Yanchuan, why didn’t he check my luggage?’
Due to the poor signal, Lin Xiaowan had no way to express her love and gratitude to her boyfriend. She felt like it was inappropriate to complain about it to Gu Yuwu since it would seem like she was showing off.
In the end, she drafted a message on her phone, typing out everything she wanted to say so she could show it to Huo Zheng when she returned.
The next day, Gu Yuwu got to work quickly. After all, the main purpose of her visit was to do a photoshoot.
When Lin Xiaowan saw the various ‘fashionable’ clothing that Lin Qing designed, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. His clothes were completely different from what she was used to. They were made from things like plastic bags, plastic bottles, paper wrappings, and fertilizer sacks with the word ‘carbamide’ on them. All in all, Lin Qing used many waste materials to design his clothes. However, it had to be said that his design was very good.
After that, Lin Xiaowan had another experience that made her admire Lin Qing even more.
Most of the clothes that Lin Qing designed were dresses. Due to the material he used, they looked very sexy. However, when he put them on, he did not feel embarrassed at all, and he looked very graceful. It was like he was not restricted by gender at all.
Lin Xiaowan watched in admiration as Lin Qing strutted around the clothes he designed. He placed his hands on his hips, and he held his head high. When he walked, it felt like his entire person was glowing. He looked confident and proud.
When Lin Qing saw Lin Xiaowan staring at him with her mouth agape and eyes filled with shock and disbelief, he laughed and asked, “Do you think I’m strange?”
Lin Xiaowan shook her head frantically and said, “No, no, no! In fact, I think you’re amazing!”
At the same time, Lin Xiaowan also understood why the villagers disliked Lin Qing.
In this remote and backward mountain village, Lin Qing was undoubtedly strange in the eyes of the elderly people. After all, he did not fit the image of a ‘man’ that they knew. After all, he wore dresses.
Lin Xiaowan felt as though her eyes had been opened. She was truly glad she followed Gu Yuwu here.
Gu Yuwu’s shutter did not stop moving, and she kept praising Lin Qing. She did not need to deliberately guide him since he was very photogenic. His expressions, his poses, and his unique clothes were very good.
“Do you really have no intention of making a debut? There aren’t many people like you in the entertainment industry. You’re really very unique.”
Gu Yuwu was attracted by Lin Qing’s uniqueness the moment she saw him. In his video, he spoke very little, and his expression was always the same.
Most of the comments under his videos were not very pleasant. However, whether it was encouraging comments or hate comments, he did not respond to them at all. He just posted videos of him or other people wearing the clothes he designed.
When Gu Yuwu contacted him, she was not very confident that he would agree to her request. It took a long time before she received a reply from him. She had also asked back then if he had any interest in joining the entertainment industry, and he refused her.
At this time, just like before, Lin Qing still refused her. He shook his head and said, “The entertainment industry isn’t for someone like me. It doesn’t suit me.”
Suddenly, Lin Xiaowan could no longer hold back her curiosity so she asked, “Why did you choose to live here?”
