Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: This is Just Too Unlucky

“Oh, feeling pretty confident, are we? Then sing a song for your sister here. If it’s good, I’ll lend you the tree sapling!”

Sing a song?

What should I sing?

Ye Xian noticed she was wearing a yellow long dress, her hair slightly tousled by the leaves in the reed marsh, and suddenly inspiration struck.

“Ahem~”

The young lady cleared her throat and slightly moved her body to the beat while making rap gestures.

“Hey, yeah~ yeah~

Let’s pretend it’s all a dream, I woke up long ago but still feel moved!

I still wish for your protection from the pain inside, liking me must be tough, I understand it all~

Don’t worry, this world is harsh but I remember your advice!

The pale yellow dress, the messy hair, holding my hand to see the latest oil painting exhibit, the empty streets, the deserted home, it’s just me throwing a wild party~”

[Help! It’s the egg yolk yellow dress again, this meme’s never going to die this year!]

[Ah!!! Ye Xian must be a devil, I finally forgot this song, and here he goes again! It’s on an endless loop in my head now.]

[Hahaha, what kind of Immortal idiot have I become a fan of, I’m rolling on the floor laughing, this is too funny.]

[The new guest is just too hilarious hahaha, I’ve been laughing the entire episode, my mouth is sore from it.]

[Our entire dorm was laughing so hard the dorm supervisor came knocking, suspecting we were raising chickens.]

[Am I the only one who thinks Ye Xian’s singing is actually good? This devil’s rap is the nicest version I’ve ever heard!]

[I’m crying, he’s handsome, cute, adorable, an idiot, and multi-talented. Why did I only discover him now? Mommy, I love him so much!]

“It’s good! So good!”

The middle-aged woman was a bit embarrassed by the singing, timidly pinching the corners of her clothes, “Do I sing as well as you? I think I’m a bit fat~”

Picking up on the previous rap’s tune, Ye Xian threw in another line, “That’s not fat, that’s beauty expanding~”

“Hahaha!”

The woman bloomed with happiness and put down the shovel, tossing the little sapling to her.

“Thank you, sis!”

Ye Xian caught the sapling, using it as a paddle, and quickly rowed the boat to shore.

Seeing Ye Xian picking water chestnuts, one by one placing them into a plastic bag, the middle-aged woman was puzzled, “Young man, did you really brave the danger to wade into the river just to collect these water chestnuts?”

Ye Xian: “Yes.”

“What are you collecting them for? Do celebrities also have a taste for this?”

Ye Xian explained to her about the match house competition in full detail. However, after hearing it, the middle-aged woman laughed, “Water chestnut porridge is indeed delicious, and the judges at the match house are indeed from Dangshan County’s Tianlong Village. But what you don’t know is that last year, a little boy nearly drowned in the river while trying to collect water chestnuts. Since then, the village committee has strictly forbidden harvesting water chestnuts from the river. I’m afraid if you make water chestnut porridge, it won’t cater to their tastes. On the contrary, you might rub them the wrong way and end up with a low score~”

After the woman finished speaking, Ye Xian froze in place, “…For real?”

She was close to despair.

This was her first time on a variety show, could she be any more unlucky?

Tanking an ad placement, the rope breaking while collecting water chestnuts, and now, before she could turn her bounty into a delicious dish, was she doomed to fail from the start?

Seeing Ye Xian look at her with eyes as dead as those of a pitiful little thing, the woman cruelly nodded, “Why would I lie to you, huh.”

Ye Xian: “Then… all my efforts collecting these water chestnuts have been wasted?”

Middle-aged woman: “Not necessarily, my kids really like water chestnuts. You could give them to them.”

Ye Xian: “…” I suspect you just want to trick me out of my water chestnuts.
