Lin Xiaowan followed Lin Qing’s instructions and helped him move his bed.
After that, Lin Qing took a plastic container and quickly replaced the old one with it.
“Thank you so much. I’ll clean up the rest myself. You should go to sleep.”
In fact, Lin Xiaowan still wanted to chat with him a little more. People like Lin Qing were very likable. However, she really did not know how to tell him she wanted to talk some more; she was also afraid of disturbing him. In the end, she said good night to him before she went downstairs.
She could not fall asleep after she returned to her bed. She wanted to send a message but remembered the poor signal. As such, she began to draft out a message containing everything she wanted to say and saved it, planning to show it to Huo Zheng when she returned.
The next day.
Gu Yuwu and Lin Xiaowan set off early in the morning. When they left, Lin Qing was mixing cement in the yard to fix the leak. It seemed like he was really all-rounded.
Lin Qing helped them carry their luggage just like when they came and walked them to the car.
“Be careful on the road,” Lin Qing said as he waved his hand. He did not ask them to visit again nor did he show any signs of reluctance. He just smiled and waved at them.
They had left very early; it was only a little past 6 AM. Most of the villagers were still sleeping soundly. Only a few people could be seen strolling around. Only the sounds of birds chirping and roosters crowing could be heard. However, it was not noisy at all. Instead, it seemed to make the place even quieter.
Lin Xiaowan woke up after midnight, and she tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep after she returned to her bed. She did not get to sleep for long before Gu Yuwu woke her up. She leaned against the car window, still sleepy, as she watched Lin Qing’s figure disappear from sight. For some reason, she felt that Lin Qing looked a little lonely.
Lin Xiaowan yawned and closed her eyes, but when she woke up, they were already on the highway.
Seeing that she was awake, Gu Yuwu, who was working on her laptop, asked, “Are you hungry?”
Previously, Gu Yuwu wanted to do a live broadcast in Lin Qing’s place, but she discovered that the signal was too poor. There was no way she could do a live broadcast there so she could only give up. Fortunately, she shot many videos that she could use. She had obtained Lin Qing’s permission beforehand to use them.
Lin Xiaowan shook her head in response to Gu Yuwu’s question before she wrapped herself in the blanket and looked at her phone. She did not know where she was now, but the signal had returned. She replied to Huo Zheng’s message first before she lay down and browsed the Internet.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuwu said, “Don’t lie down and look at your phone.”
“Okay,” Lin Xiaowan replied. She twisted a few times, looking like a baby silkworm before she sat up.
She looked at the photos she had taken previously, and many ideas for her painting raced through her mind. This time, it was not just characters, but also the scenery she had seen in the village. She recalled what Hong Minima said about going out more often to find inspiration and thought that this was what Hong Minima meant.
Gu Yuwu worked on editing the videos she had taken for a few days, in the end, the video she edited was more than 30 minutes long. Before posting it, she sent it to Lin Xiaowan first.
[Gu Yuwu: There’s a shot of you in the video, but I’ve already censored it for you. See if it’s okay.]
After sending the video, she called Lin Xiaowan.
Lin Xiaowan had been bursting with inspiration after she returned from the village. She had been holed up in the studio since her return. When she received Gu Yuwu’s call, she was still in a daze.
“So you were taking videos as well? 1 thought you were only taking pictures…”
Lin Xiaowan watched the video from the beginning until the end. She did not appear much in the video. Gu Yuwu had edited the video carefully. Most of the time she only appeared in the shot because Lin Qing was in the shot, but Gu Yuwu had covered her face with an emoji,
[Lin Xiaowan: You edited the video very well!]
There were scenes of Lin Qing picking fruits and vegetables, him showing off his clothes, chatting, eating barbecue together on the rooftop, and so on. There were also scenes of Lin Qing catching the chickens and Lin Xiaowan drawing. At the end of the video, there were also two edited photos of Lin Qing.
After posting the video, Gu Yuwu also tagged Lin Qing in the comment section so he could watch the video. For this reason, Lin Qing’s number of fans increased along with his popularity. One of the main reasons for this was his unique temperament.
When some people saw a person whose face had been censored in the video, they were naturally curious.
[Fan #1: Who’s that? Is she an assistant?]
When Gu Yuwu was working on set, she had a young female assistant who had just graduated. She had appeared in a few of Gu Yuwu’s videos, but her face was not hidden.
[Fan #2: No. Sister Gu wouldn’t have censored her face. It’s probably a friend or a passerby…]
[Fan #3: That person’s face is censored with the word ‘villager’. However, is she really a villager?]
[Fan #4: What kind of villager would wear something from A Brand’s summer collection? Her voice is very pleasing to the ears. It’s soft and sweet.]
[Fan #5:1 can tell that girl likes Lin Qing a lot! She stuck to him so closely!
Hahaha! She seemed very eager to help as well, but it seemed like she wasn’t of much help in the end! Hahaha!]
[Fan #6: Yes! She looked really eager and happy to help! Even if she didn’t know anything, she still wanted to help! It’d make you feel guilty if you refused to let her help you!]
When Lin Xiaowan saw the comments, she was shocked. She quickly took a screenshot and sent it to Gu Yuwu.
[Lin Xiaowan: I was clearly very serious about helping Ling Qin!]
[LinXiaowan: Lin Qing!]
Because she was too quick, she even spelled Lin Qing’s name wrongly, making Gu Yuwu laugh.
Lin Xiaowan was the kind of person who could not bear to see others busy themselves with matters related to her. She felt guilty enjoying the fruits of other people’s labor. It made her feel uneasy so she felt like she had to help out. She did not expect that her help would be seen as a hindrance.
Lin Xiaowan sent a crying emoji to Gu Yuwu.
[Gu Yuwu: Yes, yes, you were very serious. *laughing emoji*]
[Lin Xiaowan: You’re just being perfunctory. *crying emoji*]
[Lin Xiaowan: It’s fine, I understand. Don’t worry about me. 1’11 be fine after crying for two hours!]
Gu Yuwu took a screenshot of their chat and even posted it online. She naturally hid Lin Xiaowan’s name and profile picture. She uploaded the screenshot along with the caption: Don’t talk about the little darling like that. She’s clearly helping him seriously! Hahaha!
Many people laughed when they saw this. Some even wondered if Lin Xiaowan would cry even more when she saw this post. At the same time, people also became even more curious about Lin Xiaowan’s identity.
Gu Yuwu responded to a comment asking about Lin Xiaowan’s reaction to the post and asked if the latter would cry.
[Gu Yuwu: Probably not. She doesn’t really use Speaker that much.]
[Fan #1: I’m going to make a bold and blind guess that she’s the artist that Sister Gu posted about previously. There was a scene in the video that showed her drawing. Among the people Sister Gu interacts with, Xiaowan is the only one who draws..]
