Lu Qingye did not answer her question directly. “Turn the camera around.”
Lu Qingye had never thought of meeting anyone. It was just that when he saw Meng Chuyuan alone, he could not help but worry if she was in a bad mood because he was quite shocked when he received the call.
In terms of fulfilling the contract, Meng Chuyuan was more meticulous than him.
It was 11:23 p.m. on his side. The phone screen showed that he had only spoken to Meng Chuyuan for nine minutes. In these nine minutes, he had seen more bulls and sheep than Meng Chuyuan.
At his request, Meng Chuyuan changed the camera to the front, revealing her entire face in front of the screen.
Perhaps it was because she had been outside for too long, but her nose was already red from the wind. Her messy hair hit the side of her face, and there was snow on the top of her head. Her deep eyes were looking at Lu Qingye.
Just as Meng Chuyuan was about to speak, a female voice suddenly came from not far away. “Come out and take a look. It’s snowing outside.”
Zheng Yaqi had just come out of the yurt. When she saw that it was snowing outside, she shouted excitedly. Her penetrating voice naturally reached Meng Chuyuan.
This made Meng Chuyuan forget what she wanted to say, so she gave up.
Meng Chuyuan narrowed her eyes when she saw everyone running out to look at the snow. She looked at Lu Qingye on the screen and said softly, “Why don’t we hang up? You should rest early too.”
When Lu Qingye heard this, he frowned slightly. He did not even have time to say a few words to Meng Chuyuan before she ended the call.
He was originally sitting at the head of the bed, but he suddenly leaned back and distanced himself from the phone. Now, the background that was revealed became even more obvious.
Meng Chuyuan could see him leaning against the head of the bed. He was wearing black pajamas, and a large part of the bedside table beside him had also appeared.
When Lu Qingye was in the right position, he looked at Meng Chuyuan calmly and opened his thin lips slightly. “You know that I want to rest.”
These words should have been a question, but after Lu Qingye said it, it became a nonchalant statement. His tone seemed to have a hint of dissatisfaction.
Hearing his words, Meng Chuyuan realized that there was a day’s time difference between them.
Meng Chuyuan said, “I’m sorry to disturb your rest. I’ll hang up now.”
Before Lu Qingye could react, Meng Chuyuan hung up.
“…” Lu Qingye was originally emotionless, but when he saw the video on the screen disappear, his chest inexplicably felt suffocated.
He was no longer sleepy after calling for about ten minutes, so he turned on the live-stream.
After hanging up, Meng Chuyuan returned to the live-stream and watched the snow with everyone.
[Ahhh, where did Sister Meng go just now? I didn’t see her at all.]
[Sister Meng must have gone to the sheep shed to see the lambs just now. I saw her coming from the other side.]
[Sister Meng’s ears and nose are red from the cold, but why do I feel that she’s a little cute?]
[I heard that the next few episodes will be recorded in the north. Sister Meng, you’re going to be so cold, hahaha.]
…
Seeing that so many viewers were discussing Meng Chuyuan in the comments section, Lu Qingye noticed that Meng Chuyuan was afraid of the cold.
After the audience confirmed that they would go to the northern area to record the variety show, he wondered what would happen if the weather there was too cold?
The next morning, Lu Qingye got someone to contact the production team to invest in the variety show. The only condition he offered was to postpone filming for the next few episodes or choose a place with a better climate. In short, he wanted to avoid outdoor activities in a cold area.
In fact, Lu Qingye had thought of asking Meng Chuyuan to leave the variety show. With his ability, he could naturally do it. However, after considering various factors, he did not do so in the end.
Director Luo was a person who was greedy for money. He could get a good investment, and the conditions that were proposed were not harsh. He could also make the entire production team take paid leave. Therefore, when Lu Qingye’s people took the initiative to look for him, the director readily agreed.
That day, the production team’s official Weibo posted a notice that the recording had been postponed on the grounds of changing equipment. The live-stream time would be announced separately.
“How interesting.” Meng Chuyuan did not expect Director Luo, who had always cared about viewer statistics, to officially announce the postponement of the recording of the variety show mid-episode.
[F*ck!! No way, I thought they would finish recording before the end of the year. How long will this delay last?]
[Why did you suddenly change the equipment? Did something happen??]
[It’s okay to postpone anything. Just don’t replace my Sister Meng! @Director Luo, I beg you.]
[This change of equipment is obviously an excuse. Hahahaha. I guess there’s a conflict in the guest’s schedule.]
[Families, are there any other cooking variety shows I can watch? If they don’t finish recording this episode later, I’ll go crazy…]

The night before he returned to China, Lu Qingye handed over the remaining tasks to Assistant Yang. The next day, he took a plane back to Wei City.
Before boarding the plane, Lu Qingye wanted to tell Meng Chuyuan about his return to the country, but something happened at the last minute and he forgot about it.
That day happened to be Saturday. Meng Chuyuan went to the city center to spend money and shop at a clothing store that she had not visited before.
The business of this clothing store was slightly better than that of the previous store she visited, so Meng Chuyuan did not have time to come over to take a look then. Since she was free today, she went to this store for a while.
When Meng Chuyuan entered the shop to take a look, she coincidentally met Qi Yan.
Originally, Meng Chuyuan had not thought of meeting her. However, at this moment, Qi Yan was in a conflict with an employee in the shop. Such a huge commotion made it difficult for her to ignore it.
Qi Yan was holding a black knitted shirt in her hand. She grabbed the shop assistant and questioned, “Is this the quality of your clothes? What’s the difference between this quality and a roadside stall?”
The shop assistant said gently, “Madam, I’m sorry. This is how our clothes are designed. It has nothing to do with quality.”
“Aren’t you the one who asked me to try it on?”
The knitted shirt in Qi Yan’s hand was an asymmetrical off-shoulder style clothing. There was a piece of fabric that looked like it had been torn apart. However, Qi Yan said that this clothing was on the rack for customers to try-on and thought that this shirt had been torn by a client.
No matter how the shop assistant explained, Qi Yan refused to listen.
Meng Chuyuan looked at the shop assistant’s aggrieved and troubled expression. In the end, she walked over. “Sister Qi Yan, you’re buying clothes.”
After seeing Meng Chuyuan appear, the shop assistant’s eyes were already red, and her face looked weak.
“Why do I bump into you everywhere?” Qi Yan glanced at her. She did not expect to meet her here.
Meng Chuyuan did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at the clothes in her hand. She slowly raised her eyes and asked calmly, “Is there a problem with this dress?er
