Last night, Yezhi spent too long admiring herself in front of the light screen while trying on clothes. She stayed up too late and now, realizing it was dawn, she was reluctant to get up. Happily, she turned over and twitched her nose. "Oh my!" Bad breath! She propped herself up and glared angrily at Black Treasure, who was gaping with its mouth wide open. This little guy is really something; after she mentioned its bad breath twice, it remembered.
Seeing that "Mama Bear" finally got up, Black Treasure closed its mouth and wiggled its chubby backside to find "Granny Bear" to report in! Yezhi ruffled her messy shoulder-length hair, thinking she needed to buy a shoe brush to help Black Treasure develop a good habit of brushing its teeth.
After washing up, she walked into the kitchen just in time to hear Aunt Zhou praising Black Treasure while stroking its head: "Our Black Treasure is getting more capable; it really helped me wake your sister up!" Yezhi rushed in, embarrassed and shouted, "I protest! Black Treasure is my peer!"
Aunt Zhou handed her a bowl of cooled porridge and urged, "Hurry up and eat; the kids are waiting for you to start class!" Yezhi poked Black Treasure twice, quickly finished her porridge, grabbed her books, and ran out!
After finishing the class for the kids, she picked up the sleeping Zhou Xiaomu to take him home. As she walked into Little Mu's Home, she saw Little Mu's Father working with wood in the yard. Her eyes lit up; could he be a carpenter?
"Brother Zhou, are you busy?"
Little Mu's Father put down his work, wiped his hands, and took the drooling Zhou Xiaomu from Yezhi, saying apologetically, "Yezhi, this little rascal has caused you trouble again."
"Zhou Xiaomu is quite well-behaved! Brother Zhou, what are you making?" Yezhi asked curiously, pointing at the planed wood pieces.
"Uncle Zhou's son is getting married, and he asked me to make a big cabinet." This showed that Little Mu's Father had exceptional skills! Feeling a bit shy, Yezhi mentioned that she wanted to make some furniture.
"This is nothing; as long as you don't mind my craftsmanship, I will definitely help you out!" Little Mu's Father chuckled. Not one to be polite, Yezhi started gesturing. A knowledgeable person is different; on the homework notebook that Yezhi flipped open, Little Mu's Father really sketched out the rocking chair, bookshelf, wooden table, and cricket bat for the kids that she wanted. He said he would make them for her after finishing the cabinet. Yezhi smiled and said there was no rush before waving goodbye.
...
As night fell, Village Uncle and his three companions returned to the village. All four were quite tired but grinning from ear to ear thinking about the money they made selling peaches!
Using a loudspeaker, Village Uncle announced to everyone that they would distribute money tomorrow morning. Aunt Zhou, also smiling broadly, imagined what they could do with their earnings. After finishing her homework, Yezhi rubbed her eyes and said she wanted to do a facial mask. She asked Aunt Zhou if she wanted one too. Aunt Zhou shook her head; earlier in the afternoon when Yezhi told her about something good she had found, she thought it would be something nice but ended up being a bowl of dark paste.
In the kitchen, Yezhi carefully applied it evenly on her face. After changing into lemon-yellow clothes and putting on an outer coat, she walked back into the house where Aunt Zhou was already asleep. Knowing that this little guy wouldn’t sleep without a “midnight snack,” she gave Black Treasure some “Smart Beans,” then blew out the candle and closed her eyes under the blanket.
Logging in with her consciousness, Xiao Fang, dressed in a lemon-yellow suit with a wide gold chain around his neck and golden pointed shoes along with black sunglasses, stood slightly sideways with one hand on his waist and raised an eyebrow coolly saying: “Master, I've been waiting for you!”
Pointing at Xiao Fang, Yezhi laughed until her stomach hurt! Xiao Fang, strutting like a catwalk model, exclaimed: “Master! We match so well! Come on, let’s link arms!” With one hand covering her mouth in amusement and the other linking arms with “new money” Xiao Fang, they stepped onto a colorful light bridge between the grass and stars.
As they walked across the light bridge together, the grass behind them gradually blurred while surrounding stars transformed into light shapes densely gathering into walls of light that rose and fell beside them along the bridge. Upon reaching the end of the bridge amidst a burst of bright light, Yezhi and Xiao Fang stood before the shimmering transparent door of Cosmic Mall.
A middle-aged man with a mustache came out to greet them: “Miss Leaf, hello! I am Peter from the promotion department of Cosmic Mall!”
Yezhi extended her hand to shake with Peter, who led Yezhi and Xiao Fang into the silver-gray mall hall. At that moment, among the customers in the hall, someone screamed, "Oh! My God! My God! It's Miss Leaf!"
The customers all stopped and looked towards the entrance. Yezhi felt a bit uneasy, while Xiao Fang walked proudly in front of her owner, holding its head high.
In this unfamiliar environment, being stared at by so many strangers was truly uncomfortable. Yezhi awkwardly followed Peter to the resting area in the middle of the hall, which was even more lively with continuous screams, though they were not directed at Yezhi.
With a muscular security guard clearing the way, Peter brought Yezhi and Xiao Fang to a shooting location covered in fine white sand. Standing on the white sand was a slender and elegant figure with its back to the camera. The white silk shirt slipped slightly down, revealing a neck as smooth as a swan's, framed by long dark hair that cascaded down to the waist.
Everyone has a curiosity for beautiful things, and Yezhi waited for the handsome man to turn around. Xiao Fang watched her owner eagerly staring at him, puzzled.
The photographer finally shouted, "Ok!"
The handsome man buttoned his shirt and turned around. Yezhi instantly smiled brightly; it turned out to be Bai Duoya! Ha! Thinking about partnering with such a beautiful person made her feel ecstatic, reminiscent of the excitement she felt ten years ago at her first Jacky Cheung concert!
"Bai Duoya, hello, I am Yezi!" Yezhi extended her dark hand, admiring Bai Duoya up close. It was so unfair; how could someone have such delicate and exquisite features?
Bai Duoya slightly furrowed his brow, avoiding Yezhi's intense gaze and replied coldly, "Hello!"
Yezhi retracted her ignored hand and shrugged. He had the right to be proud; besides, was there really a need to be enthusiastic towards a stranger?
Xiao Fang made two "hmph" sounds at Bai Duoya as he passed by. Ignoring its owner, Xiao Fang also ignored him. In fact, Bai Duoya didn't even glance at it.
Yezhi walked over to Huzha Photographer and asked, "Hello, I am Yezi. Can I take photos now?" The sooner she finished, the sooner she could go home and sleep.
Peter chatted with Bai Duoya for a moment before rushing over to introduce both the photographer and Yezhi. Peter mentioned a long list of photography titles that she couldn't remember; all she knew was that the photographer was quite famous.
When Yezhi followed instructions to stand barefoot on the soft white sand with her hands on her hips, Huzha Photographer shouted loudly, "No~ no~!" Then he started scolding something without taking a breath. She couldn't understand and looked for help from Xiao Fang. Xiao Fang rushed to her side and said, "Wait a moment, Master! Xiao Fang will buy an intermediate language pack right away!"
Peter was trying to calm down the furious Huzha Photographer while Bai Duoya remained silent in his own world with headphones on. Xiao Fang opened the Good program's main network and spent one million to buy an intermediate language pack. After activating it, she finally understood Huzha Photographer's words—none of them were good: "What lifelessness! No grace! Stiff as a puppet! Ugly isn't a crime; being ugly without character is just crap... disguised in darkness with a fake smile that makes people angry—no more shooting...!"
Yezhi angrily grabbed her discarded shoe and threw it at Huzha Photographer's mouth. The staff were stunned; Xiao Fang imitated its owner and threw its golden shoe as well. Huzha Photographer wasn't angry; instead, he picked up his camera and started taking pictures of her furiously. This person was strange; suddenly, her anger dissipated quite a bit. Unexpectedly, Huzha Photographer cursed at her again when he saw her eyes blazing with fury and quickly aimed his lens at her.
Xiao Fang shouted "Bad guy!" and charged at Huzha Photographer. The sudden action startled Yezhi for a moment but soon had her laughing heartily; this photographer was really funny as he lay on the ground still taking pictures of her laughing face.
The photographer got up, brushed off the fine sand from his clothes, and shouted at Peter and the stunned staff that they were done for the day. However, when he reached Yezhi's side, Xiao Fang spread its arms in front of her owner and said defiantly, "Hmph! You bad guy! You can't bully my master!"
Xiao Fang was ignored again as Huzha Photographer bypassed it and pulled at his mouth in front of Yezhi before tossing out an "I'm sorry!" and walking away coolly. It turned out that artists could be strange no matter if they were from Earth or outer space.
Peter comforted Yezhi and told her that the flat photo shoot would start first, while the advertisement would be filmed on location. He promised to notify her and Bai Duoya once they had a specific schedule.
Yezhi looked at Bai Duoya, who was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed. This person loved to immerse herself in her own world, somewhat like the youth Narcissus from Greek mythology—self-absorbed, ha ha~ the resemblance was striking!
Peter first bowed and sent Bai Duoya off, then came to see Yezhi. She and Xiao Fang were eager to leave quickly. After waving goodbye to Peter, they teleported away and stepped onto the light bridge.
Back on the green grass, Yezhi instructed Xiao Fang to buy pet food, "Yueyue Shu," "Nutrient," and also to check the types of Peach Trees! Xiao Fang nodded in agreement. After Yezhi smiled and said goodnight, she logged off. She opened her eyes in the dark, quietly went to the kitchen to change clothes, boiled water for a bath, and returned refreshed to bed.
...
After breakfast in the morning, Yezhi and Aunt Zhou arrived at Team. By this time, many villagers were happily counting their peach money. The children were bouncing around the adults! Aunt Zhou lined up while Yezhi entered the classroom. The older students had better focus and were reviewing their lessons inside. One Egg approached with a basket, saying, "Sister Ye, this is for Black Treasure; remember to take it back."
Yezhi glanced at the deep purple blueberries and shot One Egg a fierce look. One Egg was confused—why was she glaring at him? What had he done wrong? He asked loudly, "Sister Ye, what did I do wrong? Why are you just staring at me? I don't understand!"
Yezhi felt like hitting One Egg on the head again; she was being petty and jealous! Not understanding? If you don't understand, why not think about it more! You gave Black Treasure something but didn't give me anything. While Yezhi was busy with her inner thoughts, she suddenly felt something was off. She glared at One Egg and said sternly, "One Egg, where did you pick these Persimmons?"
One Egg hesitated for a long time before lowering his head. Yezhi gave his head a firm knock. The ripe Persimmons in the small grove had all been picked by the kids to give to Zhang Dou and his group; these purple Persimmons could only be found up in the mountains. This little brat had gone up there alone again.
It seemed that education on danger wasn't effective; it looked like she needed to be straightforward and make One Egg stick with her. "One Egg, after school today, you’re coming home with me." By this time, most of the kids had returned to their seats, and Yezhi began class.
After class ended, Yezhi led One Egg home. At Zhoujiatun, smoke was curling from chimneys; one could almost smell the aroma of food along the path. Upon returning home, Village Uncle greeted them cheerfully, "Yezhi, when I went to Commune today, I met Director Zhang. Director Zhang said he secured a private teacher for our village." Yezhi's mouth dropped open in shock; it felt like a bolt from the blue! She was going to be unemployed...!
