If I Don’t Look for Her, Could I Look for You?

At the same time, the guests from the other two groups had already gone to their respective residences.

Liao Jiake and her sister successfully moved into the courtyard for four. The owner was very enthusiastic when he saw them and invited them to have lunch together. The room had already been cleaned for them in advance.

The bungalow in Qi Zhen’s group was also very good. There were many organic vegetables planted in the small courtyard. The hall was very spacious, and the room was airy and well-furnished.

After looking at the accommodation conditions of the other two groups, the viewers in the live-stream started chatting again.

[I’m dying of laughter. The other two teams can just move in with their bags. They won’t have to worry about food and drink. Unlike Lu Jinsen’s team, they don’t even have cleaning tools.]

[Hahahahaha, as expected, there’s no harm without comparison.]

[Lu Jinsen is such a disappointment. How did he manage to pick the worst out of the remaining three blind boxes?!]

[The great disappointment is here. He came back with a broom and a bucket.]

[Hahaha, the arm strength of the Great disappointment is quite shocking. He didn’t stop to rest at all the entire way back even while carrying the bucket.]

The adobe house they lived in was actually not close to the neighbors. In order to avoid making an extra trip, Lu Jinsen could only return with a broom and dustpan in one hand and a heavy bucket in the other.

This trip took about ten minutes.

While Lu Jinsen went out to borrow something, Meng Chuyuan was not idle either.

She tied her long hair with a rubber band, rolled up her sleeves, and arranged the usable furniture in a suitable position.

Once Lu Jinsen returned, they would clean up together.

Half an hour later, Liao Jiake’s group was having lunch with their hosts while Qi Zhen’s group borrowed some ingredients from the neighboring house to cook.

Qi Zhen carried the ingredients back into the kitchen and looked at Qi Yan. “Sister, the kitchen is riddled with oil and smoke. Leave the cooking to me.”

“It’s fine. I’ll do it.” As she spoke, Qi Yan had already rolled up her sleeves and was ready to work.

“Then I’ll be your assistant.”

“Okay.”

Although Qi Zhen said that he would be the assistant, when it came to cooking, he was the one in charge. Even the pot and vegetables were washed by him. Qi Yan did not know where to start even if she wanted to help.

After lunch, Qi Yan cleared the dishes and wanted to wash them, but Qi Zhen was one step ahead of her.

Qi Yan looked at him and said, “You made the food just now. Let me wash the dishes.”

Qi Zhen looked up at her manicure and said gently and carefully, “Your hands are so beautiful. How can I let you wash them?”

[Qi Zhen is too handsome. I’m instantly mesmerized by him.]

[I’m tired of saying that I want a younger brother like him.]

[At this moment, I actually want my soul to enter that bowl.]

[Stop talking. I’m the dishwasher.]

At the same time…

Meng Chuyuan’s group was still busy. Their pots and pans were borrowed from neighbors, including the dry firewood and lunch ingredients.

Lu Jinsen consciously took on the physical work of chopping firewood.

[This group is really pitiful. The people next door are full, but they haven’t started cooking.]

[They really don’t have anything in their adobe houses. It’s all charity from their neighbors.]

[This group feels too slow. There’s nothing to see. They’ve been cleaning since they entered the house.]

[I’m a little curious. Do they know how to cook?]

[Sister-in-law should know how to cook, right? Her knife skills are not bad, and she looks very skilled at cutting vegetables.]

However, chopping firewood was not as simple as Lu Jinsen thought. The first time he swung the axe, it tilted and cut through the air. Then, he tried a second time. This time, the axe was stuck in the wood. It took him a while to remove the axe from the crack.

Meng Chuyuan was beating eggs at the side. When she turned around, she realized that Lu Jinsen had not chopped a single piece of firewood.

Lu Jinsen was more anxious than anyone else about not being able to handle these few logs. After all, who was willing to embarrass themselves in front of others?

He thought that he might be able to find the feeling after a while, but in that moment, Meng Chuyuan suddenly said, “Use some strength. Have you not eaten?”

Lu Jinsen was famous for his bad temper in the industry. When he heard this, he retorted indignantly, “Obviously I haven’t eaten. Why else would I be chopping this thing?”

As he spoke, he swung his ax with resentment and cut off half of the wood.

“If chopping firewood doesn’t work, can you pick up branches? Do you see the small forest in the backyard? You should be able to pick up a lot of branches.”

Lu Jinsen whipped his head around and looked at Meng Chuyuan. He said coldly, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

He had to stand here awkwardly for a long time and work for nothing.

“You didn’t say you couldn’t chop wood.”

[Hahahahaha, well done! I like to see Lu Jinsen suffer.]

[I don’t think anyone asked him to chop firewood, right? He wanted to chop firewood himself. He’s the one who can’t chop it, and he’s blaming his Sister-in-law.]

[Sister-in-law is so smart and beautiful. If only she wasn’t in the same group as Lu Jinsen.]

[I just came from Qi Zhen’s live-stream. Seeing that Lu Jinsen, this piece of trash, can’t even chop firewood, he will only drag them down, I really want to curse.]

[Don’t mention it. Lu Jinsen is not even worth a finger of Qi Zhen.]

Lu Jinsen put down his axe, turned around, and walked out of the courtyard. He went into the small forest at the back. Not long after, he returned with a pile of branches.

He carried the tree branch he picked up into the kitchen and stood beside Meng Chuyuan for a while. He felt a little helpless and said hesitantly, “Do you need help?”

Meng Chuyuan turned around and glanced at him.

“Do you know how to start a fire?” Although she was surprised to hear him offer help, she was not the kind of person to decline.

Lu Jinsen was stunned for a moment before he hesitantly said, “Shall I try?”

“Alright, give it a try.”

Knowing that he had never started a fire, Meng Chuyuan carefully guided him from the side. Lu Jinsen was also very cooperative. He did whatever she asked him to do.

With the cooperation between the two of them, the fire in the furnace was quickly started.

Meng Chuyuan made three dishes: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried lettuce, and stir-fried meat slices with green peppers.

They could borrow very few ingredients for lunch, and they were mostly vegetables. The meat and eggs were provided to them by a kind old granny.

Lu Mansion

When it was time to eat, Madam Lu woke her youngest daughter, Lu Qianling, up for dinner.

Lu Qianling grew up with a golden spoon in her mouth. The whole family doted on her. As time passed, she developed a body full of bad habits. For example, she liked to skip classes, and school attendance depended on her mood.

Seeing that Lu Qianling had been using her phone and had not eaten much, Madam Lu glared at her and said unhappily, “Don’t play with your phone when you’re eating.”

“Got it, got it.”

However, Madam Lu’s reminder was useless. Lu Qianling continued to use her phone.

Suddenly—

“F*ck!” Not only was Lu Qianling excited, but she also slammed the chopsticks in her hand onti the dining table.

Madam Lu was repulsed by her reaction. “Why are you making such a fuss? Do you think I’ve lived too long? I’m about to have a heart attack because of you.”

Lu Qianling grabbed her mother’s arm and shook it. She said excitedly, “Mom, Mom… My second brother actually went to record a variety show!”

“It’s just a variety show. Do you have to be so excited?”

“No… Do you know who went to film the variety show with Second Brother?”

Madam Lu asked doubtfully, “Sister-in-law He?”

She had heard Lu Jinsen mention it in the morning, but she did not ask what was going on. At this moment, she could only say what she had heard on the phone.

Although Madam Lu did not know who Sister-in-law He was.

Lu Qianling clicked on the trending topic that she had just seen, and then handed the phone to her mother. “Look.”

“It’s her?” Madam Lu was surprised.

Sister-in-law He… with Sister-in-law.

So that was what happened!

Lu Jinsen usually doted on her the most. In the past, he would share everything with her. She actually did not know that he and Meng Chuyuan had gone to film a variety show.

Feeling betrayed by the person she trusted the most, Lu Qianling was very angry. “Why did Second Brother ask her to record a variety show with him?”

Madam Lu looked up at her with disdain written all over her face. “If he doesn’t look for her, should he look for you?”
