Spent the afternoon at the village head’s house.

During the time, Lin Shi followed Sheng Yi around, found an opportunity and said to Sheng Yi, "Sister Yi, I want to share a big secret with you."

Lin Shi was like a mischievous little badger in a melon field, jumping around trying to find someone to share the juicy gossip with. He felt it wasn’t reliable to tell just anyone, so he locked his target on Sheng Yi, thinking she could eat the melon with him.

Sheng Yi was indeed curious and asked, "What secret?"

Lin Shi lowered his voice and whispered, "Chi Yu is secretly married!"

Sheng Yi: "..."

Lin Shi added, "I only told you about this, haven’t told anyone else."

Sheng Yi: "...Uh."

Turns out this young guy is quite a blabbermouth.

Gotta be careful with conversations in the future, don’t let slip-ups get out easily.

Yet Lin Shi really only told Sheng Yi, indeed only Sheng Yi, he didn’t tell anyone else.

Lin Shi expressed his lament in front of Sheng Yi, "Chi Yu has such a good image and conditions, getting married so young, isn’t it a pity?"

Sheng Yi didn’t care, "What’s so pitiful about it."

Lin Shi: ?

Sheng Yi continued, "Besides, don’t believe what he says, where does he get married young? He’s long been abandoned, just an ex-husband."

Lin Shi: ?! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He thought he had gotten hold of some juicy gossip to share with Sheng Yi, but instead, he got some more gossip from her?

Not only did Chi Yu marry young, he was... abandoned???

Lin Shi felt like his worldview was shaken to the core.

A pat on the shoulder.

Lin Shi looked at Sheng Yi, he had a tongue-tied expression, looking a bit cute and silly.

"Little brother, I’ve long been a member of the melon-eating crowd, your perspective is too small. Don’t be too shocked by this sort of thing in the future." Finishing her sentence, Sheng Yi patted Lin Shi’s shoulder twice more, "Let’s go, little brother."

Lin Shi: "..."

Turns out he wasn’t a lonely little badger.

Turns out, there wouldn’t be only one badger in the melon field.

Sigh, truly too small-minded.

At five in the afternoon, Yi Shu drove to the Ancient Water Village.

Yi Shu was the last of all agents to arrive. Arriving only the next day, Chi Yu’s current status wasn’t that high for him to worry all the time.

When Yi Shu learned what happened to Chi Yu last night, he pondered a bit, "Could you have been sleepwalking?"

Chi Yu: "I’ve never sleepwalked before."

Yi Shu rubbed his chin pondering, "Before was before, what if you’ve started sleepwalking now?"

"What kind of logic is that." Chi Yu was too lazy to bother with Yi Shu.

Yi Shu also felt like it was nonsense.

Before nightfall, Chi Yu worried last night’s incident might happen again, so he reminded Yi Shu early, "Stay awake tonight, don’t fall into a deep sleep. If the same situation as last night happens, remember to wake me up."

Yi Shu nodded in agreement, "Alright."

Actually, Yi Shu tends to get very sleepy.

Xiong Yao was better, but this time Xiong Yao didn’t come, and Yi Shu figured he wouldn’t be able to handle the sleepiness. But he thought last night’s incident shouldn’t happen again, as Chi Yu wasn’t known for sleepwalking, let alone driving at night while sleepwalking.

Lin Shi overheard their conversation, pondered over Chi Yu’s attitude towards his agent, grasped the essence, and went back to boss his own agent around: "Go get me a glass of water."

Lin Shi’s agent, Gao Liang: ??

Lin Shi looked at Brother Liang’s reaction and felt his words weren’t forceful enough, ineffective in bossing Brother Liang, so he cleared his throat and repeated in a bossy tone, "Go get me a glass of water."

After he spoke.

A pain at the back of his head.

Lin Shi stumbled forward a few steps.

He scratched his head and looked at Gao Liang, his expression quite aggrieved, as if saying: What did I do wrong for you to hit me??

Gao Liang: "Did you take the wrong medicine, daring to boss me around, who’s giving you airs after a few days in the countryside?!"

Lin Shi’s expression seemed very obedient, yet his words sounded very unresigned: "I see Chi Yu and his agent interact like this, he bosses his agent around, his agent doesn’t say anything, I think it’s a way of them having a good relationship, I also want to have a better relationship with Brother Liang, but you hit me instead."

Gao Liang: "..."

"Should I call you dumb?" Gao Liang felt exasperated inside.

"Where am I dumb? I just want to..."

"Want what, want nothing." Gao Liang interrupted Lin Shi’s words, "With Chi Yu’s status, Yi Shu of course caters to him, what, do you want me to cater to you too?"

"Chi Yu’s status?" Lin Shi’s little head was smart, quickly grasping the key point: "What’s Chi Yu’s status, how would I know?"

"With your carefree attitude every day, how could you know? You know nothing!" Sometimes Gao Liang couldn’t be bothered to lecture him, uncertain whether to say Lin Shi is too young and naive, or simply just dumb?!
