The lotus pond was not particularly deep, but it was hard to walk through the mud.
After taking two steps, Huo Xiang had already got stuck twice. Huo Yao ended up coming back to help pull him out.
“Follow me. Don’t step in the deep sections of the pond and don’t stand in the same spot for too long,” instructed Huo Yao as she pulled Huo Xiang’s arm. At this moment, she looked like the older brother, while Huo Xiang was the baby sister.
Huo Xiang felt absolutely miserable.
Inside the live stream room…
‘[HAHAHA! Huo Xiang’s little sister is the best. She is becoming more and more like a domineering CEO.]
[Did you see how stunned Lucky Charm looked? It was adorable.]
[Lucky Charm, you have to be strong. You’re her older brother. Or else, your image is gone!]
[Little Sis: You’re only capable of riding on my success!]
[Miss Huo is brilliant! Little Master Huo, hurry up and follow closely behind your older sister!]
[Oh my. Just listen to this guy calling them Miss Huo and Little Master Huo.]
Huo Yao pulled Huo Xiang for some distance before she said, “Let’s start picking lotus root here.”
Huo Yao reached her hand into the mud and pulled out an entire lotus root before long.
Huo Xiang was caught by surprise. “Wow, you’re great. You did it so effortlessly.”
It sure looked easy.
Huo Yao raised her brow. Despite the mask, the confidence on her face was evident.
Huo Xiang suddenly turned to look at the camera next to him and said, “If my little sister can do it, I’m sure I can too. Trust me!”
[HAHAHA! Yes, we sure as hell trust you!]
[We are sure you’re going to botch it.]
[We are certain you’ll end up slapping your own face.]
Huo Xiang mimicked his little sister and bent over to reach into the mud. He felt the lotus stem and quickly pulled hard.
But, not even the lotus tip could be seen, let alone the lotus root.
Huo Xiang twitched his lips but did not dare to look into the camera. He merely muttered. “It’s normal to fail the first time. I’m sure I’ll get it right now.”
After several tries, all Huo Xiang managed to pull out were lotuses. Before long, the villager said, “My boy, please let off my crop. I still have to use it to make a living.
Huo Xiang: “…”
Sure enough, this entertainment program was out to get him.
[Huo Xiang, please stay put and help your little sister carry the wicker basket. If this goes on, you are going to lose the fans.]
[I can sense his desperation through the screen.]
[She sure is a farmer. All this work comes to her so naturally.]
In the end, Huo Xiang gave up altogether. How did it matter if he carried the wicker basket? It was not his first time riding on his sister’s success anyway.
Huo Xiang was incapable of even carrying the wicker basket 30 minutes later because it was packed.
Huo Yao saw how tiring it was becoming for Huo Xiang to carry the basket. He had almost tripped a few times in the lotus pond. She shook her head quietly. She rinsed the mud off her hands before reaching out to take the wicker basket.
Huo Xiang watched her carry the wicker basket to the shore effortlessly.
Huo Xiang was flabbergasted. “…”
It seemed as though it was a completely different wicker basket.
After reaching the shore, Huo Yao handed their lotus roots to the production team. She looked at the other teams to see that they were still at it.
Yin Hai’s team was slightly faster. But Shen Si’s team had only managed to pick three pathetic lotus roots, and all of them were broken.
Huo Yao and Huo Xiang borrowed a bench from the production team and sat by the lotus pond watching them work.
The sight was so beautiful that all the viewers almost burst out laughing.
