The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 198 - 197: Treating Every One of You!

Ming Xueying shot up from the woman’s lap with a yell, moving with a swiftness completely unlike an "unconscious" person.

"I’m fine! Completely fine!"

Ming Xueying clutched her burning back, retreating repeatedly, "Thank you, this... this miracle doctor!"

The woman, still not satisfied, held up the silver needles, wanting to showcase more of their ancient village’s profound traditional medicine skills in front of the camera.

"No need to be polite, beautiful. How about I give you a ’three-needle awakening’ to consolidate?"

"No, no need!"

Ming Xueying hid behind Jia Yao, the burning pain on her back making her grimace.

She secretly touched her back, feeling the welts rising on her skin, fearing it was already "scraped" beyond recognition.

Now, anyone with a discerning eye could see Ming Xueying had been faking unconsciousness.

In the live broadcast room, more and more people questioned Ming Xueying.

[??? Ming Xueying is pretending to be unconscious, right? She said before she’s different from those frail little girls, so how does she feel now about pretending and her face hurting?]

[Oh my, was she deliberately fainting in our Jia Yao’s arms? Didn’t she say they were just good buddies?]

[Hahaha, I’ve known girls like that too, always claiming to be great buddies but actually have a lot going on in their minds.]

[So funny, when she fell, she even glanced at Jia Yao’s position, perfect timing!]

[Live variety shows can’t be edited, did she just crash and burn?]

Jia Yao’s fan site members at the scene were furious, grinding their teeth.

"Ming Xueying, stay away from Jia Yao!" A site member held up a long-focus lens and spoke out, "Faking fainting to stir up a CP, have you no shame?"

Jia Yao heard the fans’ screaming, his face stiffening slightly.

Ming Xueying’s makeup was already completely gone, and facing the camera, she instinctively moved closer to Jia Yao. But as her hand reached out——

Jia Yao sidestepped and directly avoided her.

She floundered for a moment, staggered a few steps, almost falling into the prop box beside her.

The scene became utterly silent.

The live chat instantly went wild with laughter——

[Hahaha, Jia Yao’s dodge speed is like he’s mastered the ’Lingbo Microsteps’!]

[Brother says: Don’t touch me.jpg]

[The site member just shouted "Stay away from him," and Jia Yao immediately lived by those words, hilarious.]

Ming Xueying’s ears turned red with embarrassment, and when she looked up, she was directly facing the director’s close-up camera—her dark face, unfinished eyebrows, and dark circles from staying up late were all clearly captured.

[Whoa, that bare face... wasn’t she marketed as a ’natural beauty’?]

[The filter’s shattered, might as well call her "natural ghost"/joking]

She frantically lowered her head, retreating into a corner.

However, even more embarrassing—

Every time she tried to quietly move closer to Jia Yao, Jia Yao would "coincidentally" turn around, or "suddenly" need to go to the other side to get something, perfectly avoiding her the entire time.

The live chat was flooded——

[Jia Yao: Keeping a distance, starting with myself]

[Brother’s evasion level is like avoiding the plague]

[Ming Xueying: Weak, pitiful, but can act]

Meanwhile, the actor team competing with Ming Xueying and some nosy internet marketing accounts began working overtime to make videos—a hugely popular actress crashes and burns!

This is a sensational hotspot!

The focus of the bonfire party was on Xu Ying and Ming Xueying, leaving Yao Yingzhe, the senior figure, with little presence for most of the time.

Popular actor Jiang Mo, even less so, sat there like a mascot.

As villagers continued to perform tricks and music, nearing the end of recording, Yao Yingzhe, sitting in the middle of the guests, clapped with a kind yet unrefusable tone: "Ye, I heard you learned ethnic dance before? Even won a gold medal?"

"You’re wearing this exotic costume today, why not show us a piece?"

Ye Jie’s face turned slightly pale, forcing a smile: "Teacher Yao, I twisted my ankle when I got off the camel and probably can’t dance..."

Yao Yingzhe furrowed his brows, then relaxed them again, speaking with an elder’s "concern": "Oh, young people should not be so delicate."

"When we were filming back in the day, we’d still wire up with broken bones. Besides, all the viewers are expecting it, you can’t let everyone down, can you?"

His words were flawless, seemingly dedicated while subtly implying Ye Jie was unprofessional.

The atmosphere on site immediately became subtle.

Netizens also found it inconceivable, thinking how cold the desert night was, wearing an afternoon dance costume could freeze one to illness!

Now, Ming Xueying had already attracted the online fire, making Ye Jie seem less annoying.

Moreover, what’s more excessive now was Yao Yingzhe.

[Ming Xueying’s performance was already ’spectacular,’ and now no one wants to see Ye Jie dance.]

[Uncle Yao today really...mmm, when he spoke grand principles before, I found it uncomfortable; now he’s using his senior status to force someone to dance.]

[Yao Yingzhe’s words remind me of those heavy-handed leaders at drinking parties: if you don’t drink, you’re not respecting me.]

[Save the attitude, thinking twisted ankles should still dance, who do you think you are, ordering people around as you please?]

Ye Jie, stuck in a dilemma, just as she was about to brace herself, Xu Ying suddenly spoke with a playful smile——

"Teacher Yao is right, performances shouldn’t be sloppy."

She turned to look at Ye Jie, blinking, "But a foot injury does affect performance, how about... we do something different?"

Yao Yingzhe looked at this little internet celebrity with disdain, unconsciously a bit arrogant, "Oh? What do you propose?"

Xu Ying smiled innocuously: "Since it’s inconvenient for Ye Jie to dance, why not have Teacher Yao demonstrate? You’re the senior, with rich experience, even a casual performance from you is enough for us to learn from."

The scene immediately went silent.

Yao Yingzhe’s expression stiffened.

Just now, the furious netizens instantly felt a rush of satisfaction.

[Xu Ying! My spirit on the internet!]

[Hahaha, Yao Yingzhe’s face turned green, and Little Xu Station Chief who doesn’t mix in the entertainment industry but has a state iron rice bowl certainly has the confidence!]

[Let him dance! Let him dance!]

Xu Ying led the applause as she spoke, and the West Village villagers, holding back laughter, followed suit, rallying behind Little Xu Station Chief who they’d stand by no matter what Xu Ying said!

Yao Yingzhe forced a couple of awkward laughs, waving his hand: "I’m getting old, my limbs aren’t as nimble, can’t dance anymore..."

Xu Ying blinked, then suddenly showed a mysterious smile: "Teacher Yao is right, as we age, we should act within our limits. However..."

She gently clapped her hands and called out to five little ear foxes in the distance: "Kids, come show Teacher Yao!"

No sooner had she finished speaking, five lively little ear fox cubs poked their heads out, their pointed ears twitching, then scampered over with tiny legs.

Around their necks were the mini red ribbons Xu Ying prepared in advance and kept in her bag, looking like five festive little Yangge dancers.

Xu Ying took out her phone and played a cheerful Yangge tune.

The five fox cubs immediately perked up their ears and started twisting to the rhythm.

Their round little butts swayed back and forth, their front paws imitatively clasped like humans, their tails swinging like five blooming dandelions.

The scene was instantly melted by the cuteness!
