Chapter 215 Female Doormat in Farming Reality Show (23)

"Sister Fu, what are you staring at? Quick, quick! Here, the red egg you wanted!"

At Ye Yunyun’s urging, Fu Hui took the red egg in front of her.

It had been so long...

Other than her parents when she was little, no one had ever personally handed her such a red egg.

"My dear! It's your birthday!"

"May you grow taller and everything go as you wish!"

...

Suddenly, her childhood voices echoed in her ears, and Fu Hui's eyes instantly reddened.

Sister Fu’s crying!

Ye Yunyun freaked out immediately, frantically searching for tissues!

"Sis Fu, why the tears?"

"Pei Chen, hurry up and pass me the tissues by your side!"

"Oh man, Sis Fu, now you’re crying harder..."

Amid the group’s frantic scrambling, it took a while before Fu Hui finally calmed down.

Her eyes still red-rimmed, she looked toward Tang Qing's position and sincerely said, "Thank you."

"A red egg like this..."

Fu Hui murmured, "Haven’t seen one in ages."

As she spoke, everyone could tell that Fu Hui seemed to be thinking of certain people through the red egg...

"It's alright." Facing Fu Hui's reddened eyes, Tang Qing spoke softly, "Now that you know how, you'll have red eggs every year from now on."

"Wisdom and health, year after year."

Holding the red egg in her hand, Fu Hui seemed to recall the blessings from her childhood again, murmuring, "Yes... wisdom every year."

Seeing Fu Hui on the verge of tears again, Pei Chen hurriedly interjected, "Alright, enough chit-chat!"

"Tang Qing, I’ve got the red egg thing down!"

"Let’s try it out!"

Pei Chen's words instantly pulled Fu Hui out of her memories. She wiped the corners of her eyes and then said, "Yeah, we’ve got this..."

"You’ve got kitchen stuff, right? Go on."

Everyone could tell Fu Hui had changed since the show started.

Her old sharp edges had slowly softened over the days spent in the cottage. Now, Fu Hui even seemed... gentle.

"This show’s gotta be magic—Auntie Fu’s been all sweet lately, had me fooled into thinking she’s nice..."

"Change the name, it should be called [Change, My Idol!]"

"Hahaha, you're killing me with that one! But this red egg really resonates..."

...

Among the netizens' discussions, attention once again turned to the show's mysterious "Master." Though her face never appears in the footage, and her name is always censored whenever mentioned...

Yet, in every task, her presence is strongly felt.

Often, she even enjoys great popularity among casual viewers.

"It's so weird, after all this time, she's still pixelated..."

"The ultimate Master—she can do anything and is even in with the idols!"

In the live broadcast, this "Master" once again entered the kitchen. Regular viewers knew that when she came out, there'd be another feast ready...

The red eggs were simple to make, and soon, the living room was littered with them.

"Hehehe, Zhuangzhuang! Let me give you a makeover!" Ye Yunyun, having just finished her red eggs, suddenly caught sight of Pei Chen's turtle.

Ever since Pei Chen insisted that Zhuangzhuang was a magical turtle, he'd been carrying it everywhere...

Seizing the moment when Pei Chen wasn't looking, Ye Yunyun quietly made off with Zhuangzhuang—bowl and everything!

By the time Pei Chen noticed, it was too late!

Ye Yunyun must have lost her damn mind!

She had slathered Zhuangzhuang in bright red paint!

"Ye Yunyun!" He shrieked so loudly that if not for the table between them, Pei Chen would've tackled her!

"Who said you could do this?!"

"Zhuangzhuang is a male turtle! And you made him this hideous color!"

Goddamn it!

Who knows if this crap will even come off? Ye Yunyun really had rocks for brains!

Messing with me was bad enough, but now she was picking on Zhuangzhuang too!

Caught red-handed, Ye Yunyun awkwardly stuck her tongue out sheepishly. "Well, you know... 'A turtle lives a thousand years, a tortoise ten thousand'—it's auspicious!"

"Sister Fu's birthday isn't getting a cake, so I thought this would make a good omen..."

Only then did Pei Chen notice that Ye Yunyun had also pasted a character on Zhuangzhuang's shell.

"Longevity"

The poor turtle had suddenly become a symbol of blessings and long life...

"Tang Qing said this food dye is completely harmless," Ye Yunyun muttered under her breath, but Pei Chen still angrily yanked Zhuangzhuang back.

The poor little turtle had no idea what was happening, peering with its beady little eyes and bobbing its head.

Staring at Zhuangzhuang’s lobster-red shell, Pei Chen could only recoil in horror!

Ye Yunyun has lost her marbles!

Staring at Zhuangzhuang's ugly new shell, Pei Chen grew angrier the more he thought about it!

Especially since Ye Yunyun was still smugly grinning at this moment...

For a split second, he felt a surge of spite!

He actually smeared his own hands, covered in red dye, right onto Ye Yunyun’s face!

By the time Ye Yunyun realized what had happened, a big red dot was already on her forehead!

"Using my Zhuangzhuang as a Fu Lu Shou Small Turtle..."

"Sister Fu’s birthday still needs a lucky maiden—you’d fit the role perfectly."

Ye Yunyun touched her forehead in disbelief, her fingers coming away red...

No way...

Did Pei Chen just smush this on my face?!

"Pei Chen!" She shrieked again!

This time, Pei Chen grabbed Zhuangzhuang and bolted...

By the time Tang Qing returned to the living room, all hell had broken loose. Amidst the pandemonium, Pei Chen was dodging left and right, with a furious Ye Yunyun chasing after him, her face scrunched up in fury, completely disregarding her image as a female celebrity...

"Hahaha, no way, the Fu Lu Shou Small Turtle?!"

"The lucky charm girl is hilarious too! Someone should dot Pei Chen’s face as well—they’d make a perfect match!"

The flood of comments was filled with laughter. Sitting to the side, Fu Hui couldn’t help but curl her lips into a faint smile as she watched the scene unfold.

Huh... this show’s getting interesting.

Fu Hui’s birthday finally ended with a group photo. In the picture, Pei Chen and Ye Yunyun looked a complete mess, their faces and necks smeared with red dye, standing on either side of Fu Hui. Zhuangzhuang, now serving as the small longevity turtle, was cradled in Fu Hui’s hands.

Everyone in the photo was beaming...

After the birthday celebration, Pei Chen worked hard to scrub the red dye off Zhuangzhuang’s shell.

"Zhuangzhuang, next time you see Ye Yunyun, you better hide!" Grumbling under his breath, Pei Chen held Zhuangzhuang and once again arrived at Tang Qing’s courtyard.

"Tang Qing?"

"I’m here to return Zhuangzhuang!"

After calling out several times with silence from the courtyard, Pei Chen squinted. "Huh? I just saw her come back. Is she not here?"

Facing Tang Qing’s wooden sign, Pei Chen hesitated.

Tang Qing had made it clear he wasn’t allowed in...

"Zhuangzhuang, you tell me—do you want to go back to Tang Qing?" Pei Chen shook the bowl slightly, and Zhuangzhuang’s little head seemed to... give a tiny nod.

"You want to go back, don’t you?"

"Then... not my fault..."

Holding Zhuangzhuang, Pei Chen steeled himself and took the first step inside!

"I’m just here to return Zhuangzhuang!"

Making up an excuse, Pei Chen finally slipped into Tang Qing’s off-limits courtyard...
