Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 220: Chapter 220 I am an All-Round Player

Ye Xian had taken an old man’s ox cart into Tianlong Village, where she found a river with wild water caltrops and prepared to dive in to gather them.

Most of the water caltrops were in the middle of the river, and it was difficult to reach them without tools, fortunately, there was a single-person small boat nearby, and there was a rope on the boat.

She had a spark of inspiration and tied the rope to the boat, letting the accompanying photographer, PJ, pull her to the middle of the river. After she fetched the water caltrops, he would pull her back.

PJ nodded confidently, and Ye Xian, armed with a reed pole she’d snapped from the bank, stood on the boat as it slowly moved to the center of the river.

“That’s it, that’s it!”

She signaled an OK with her hand, just about to start gathering the water caltrops.

Unexpectedly, a carp suddenly leaped out of the water, splashing water into PJ’s eyes. PJ, startled, immediately let go of the rope he was holding.

And so… the rope fell into the deep water, leaving Ye Xian stranded on the boat, staring blankly at PJ, “…” Brother, are you playing with me?

[What the?! The cameraman let go of the rope!]

[Hahaha Ye Xian is definitely the chosen one for variety shows, even encountering something like a fish splashing his eyes!]

[If this weren’t live, I’d suspect they were acting, hahaha so coincidental]

[I’m going to die of laughter because of Ye Xian one of these days. Is he possessed by a god of misfortune?]

[It’s over, the rope is gone and she can’t get back to shore. Swim! Swim! I want to see Brother all drenched and seductive!]

PJ: “…” It was the fish that started it.

Ye Xian: “What do I do now?”

PJ: “It’s not cold today, why don’t you swim back to the shore?”

Ye Xian’s mouth twitched, that’s really something, I’m only wearing a shirt, and if it gets wet, some sharp-eyed netizen might spot clues about my gender. Can I still blend in?

Never mind, first gather the water caltrops; keep thinking while gathering.

The water caltrops in the middle of the river were lush. Ye Xian gently hooked them with the reed pole, and plump, triangular water caltrops attached to the caltrop leaves came up.

“Splash…”

Just as she straightened up, a sound of reeds being parted came.

Ye Xian looked up to see a slightly plump middle-aged woman carrying a sapling and a trowel, walking along the riverbank. Seeing Ye Xian, she paused, a sparkle in her eyes.

Huh? Which village is this young man from? So fair and handsome, he doesn’t look like anyone from our Dangshan County at all. Could he be one of those celebrities from the match house nearby recording a show?

She looked at Ye Xian, and Ye Xian also looked back at her… holding the sapling, suddenly getting an idea, “Auntie, could I borrow your sapling for a moment?”

The middle-aged woman, hearing her speak, turned and walked away.

Ye Xian was puzzled, “???” What happened, wasn’t I that universally adorable character everyone loves, or…?

“Sister! Beautiful sister!”

She immediately changed her address, and the middle-aged woman turned her head, her smile tinged with sweetness, “Hey~ young man, what do you need the sapling for?”

PJ: “…” Brother Ye is too strong!

“My boat’s rope broke, and I can’t get back to the shore, so I was hoping to borrow your sapling to paddle over. Since you’re so beautiful, I’m sure you’re also very kind-hearted, could you help out this poor brother, please?”

She pouted cutely, her entire demeanor both cool and charming, utterly captivating the woman, who couldn’t bear to just pass her by.

“You’re one of the celebrities from the match house up the hill, aren’t you?”

“Yes!”

“So do you sing, dance, or act?”

Ye Xian: “I’m an all-rounder!”
