Chapter 231: The Female Simp in Farming Variety Show (39)

Feng Xingzhou knew very well that such a request was way too forward.

Ditching everything to come back like this was absurd.

But…

He really didn’t want to be apart from Tang Qing.

After all these years in the biz, Feng Xingzhou had never disrupted any scheduled arrangements—this was the first time. He had dropped everything just to spend more time with the person standing before him.

This emotion toward Tang Qing had come suddenly, yet it felt entirely natural.

Tang Qing was like a storm blowing through his life, blowing in fiercely, leaving his heart racing.

Suddenly, the words from Tang Qing’s WeChat Moments post echoed in his ears:

*"Look at this vast world—mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, the stars—nothing compares to you."*

*"Nothing compares to you."*

Looking at the man who had suddenly appeared before her, Tang Qing grinned teasingly and said, “Well… what if I refuse?”

“I can rent a place from someone else in the village…” The superstar wasn’t budging as he stood at the door.

“Feng Xingzhou, if I remember correctly, today was supposed to be your first day of shooting.”

“Right now, there should be an opening ceremony…”

So she knew.

So she was still stalking his schedule, just like in her social media posts… The realization sent a quiet giddiness through Feng Xingzhou’s heart.

“Yes, I bailed on it.”

“My manager asked me why…”

“My answer was… I needed to see someone very important.”

“Important enough to make me rush here in a panic, a nervous wreck…”

“Tang Qing, to me… right now, you come first.”

As he spoke, Feng Xingzhou’s gaze never wavered from Tang Qing, letting her see everything he felt.

Someone he’d never thought he’d have was now standing right in front of him.

Then Tang Qing broke into a grin.

She reached out toward Feng Xingzhou and said, “Welcome…”

“Feng Xingzhou… I’ve waited so long for you.”

The Feng Xingzhou who had once belonged to the world, the heartthrob of millions… After pining for so long, she’d finally gotten her reply.

*System Notification: “Detected Feng Xingzhou’s Love Points increase. Current Love Points: 83.”*

Even after returning to the room, the system was still shook.

This old house is practically on fire!

The innocent heartthrob actor, a man and a woman alone together, like dry kindling to a flame... hehehe, the more I think about it, the more perfect it seems. My inner monologue couldn't help but cackle creepily.

"Cut it out with those ridiculous thoughts—you're corrupting my brain." Ever since Feng Xingzhou appeared, my inner monologue has been randomly shrieking in my head, startling me.

"Hehehe, Tang Qing, the film emperor is really amazing!" It piped up again, egging me on, "Just now, Feng Xingzhou noticed the watering can you were using was a bit troublesome, so he’s out in the yard setting up a hose for you..."

This way, Tang Qing wouldn’t have to keep refilling water back and forth.

This kind of husband-like attention, appearing in Feng Xingzhou, was unreasonable yet somehow made perfect sense.

Tang Qing looked over and sure enough...

Feng Xingzhou had just put down his luggage and was already back in the yard.

The man who used to seem so distant was now squatting in the garden, helping her install a water pipe.

That unspoken boundary between them, that strange unspoken understanding...

Perhaps from the moment Tang Qing agreed to let Feng Xingzhou stay, the boundary she had forcefully drawn in the yard disappeared.

As if sensing her gaze, Feng Xingzhou turned around and caught sight of Tang Qing’s profile at the second-floor window.

The movie star's expression softened, and he smiled as he spoke, "Almost done."

Seeing him like this, surrounded by lush greenery in the background... truly, just as my inner monologue had described...

Feng Xingzhou... he really was amazing.

"Sister Qing, Sister Qing!" As evening fell, the cottage was visited by another unexpected group.

A bunch of kids, rowdy and excited, knocked on Tang Qing’s door.

"Sister Qing, I saw all those cars in the village today! Are all your guests gone now?"

"Sister Qing, can we go up to your rooftop to watch TV today?"

It turned out that before the program group had approached Tang Qing, her rooftop had been the liveliest spot in the village.

Tang Qing had set up an open-air cinema there, and with her knack for cooking, she often prepared snacks and fruits, making it a favorite hangout for the neighborhood kids.

But ever since guests started staying at the cottage, Tang Qing had temporarily closed off rooftop access.

"Not today!" Tang Qing told the head troublemaker. "I still have company here."

The kids looked over and saw Feng Xingzhou standing in the front hall.

Spotting him, one of the kids suddenly shouted, "It’s that uncle!"

"Sister Qing, it’s your favorite TV star!"

"Are you two dating now?!"

Once one kid started it, the rest of the little troublemakers joined in, chanting, "Together! Together! Together!"

Through the chaos, Tang Qing swiftly slammed the door!

Even with the kids locked outside, the chants of "together!" didn’t stop, echoing endlessly. Tang Qing’s face quickly turned bright red.

It took Tang Qing a while to find her voice, awkwardly saying, "They're just talking nonsense... children's words carry no harm..."

"Please don't take it seriously..."

Amid her hesitant explanation, a spark of amusement suddenly appeared in Feng Xingzhou's eyes as he spoke at his own pace, "I heard them."

He said, "Tang Qing..."

"I can take it seriously."

As they gazed at each other, Tang Qing was the first to look away, avoiding Feng Xingzhou's overly burning gaze at that moment.

Tang Qing steered the conversation elsewhere: "About what they said earlier, watching TV on the roof..."

"Feng Xingzhou, want to try it out?"

The celebrated actor's eyes curved into a smile, his voice still carrying lingering amusement as he replied, "Sure."

While called a roof, it was more of a platform.

A large woven bamboo bed was placed there, facing a small television set.

"It's even better here in summer—you can eat chilled watermelon." The snack she brought over was the same one Feng Xingzhou had recognized from when they first met in the courtyard.

"When I was little, summer was what I loved most."

Pointing toward the distant mountains, Tang Qing said, "As a child, standing here always made me feel higher than those mountain tops..."

"As if just by standing up, I could see the world beyond the mountains."

"As if by reaching out, I could touch the moon I desired..."

Standing by the platform's railing, Tang Qing lowered her gaze, looking down at her small courtyard below.

Her voice suddenly turned solemn as she continued, "But later, I realized the courtyard below was my entire world."

"Is that so?"

Sensing the sadness in her voice, Feng Xingzhou suddenly stood up and came to stand behind her. "I only recently learned..."

His voice rang clear in the night breeze as he said:

"Tang Qing..."

"Down there is also the world I've always wanted."
