Chapter 204: First Snow

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

The night was dark, and the stars were twinkling. The cold moon was hidden in the clouds.

Because he was worried about the lamb’s health, the director had sent someone to follow them until the end of the live-stream.

Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen returned to the resting area. The staff following them reported the situation truthfully to the director. After confirming that the lamb had been treated and safely returned to the sheep shed, the director’s anxious mood was soothed.

If something happened to those two lambs on their variety show, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After all, it was a real-time live-stream variety show. Even post-production editing could not salvage the audience’s trust in the production team.

Meng Chuyuan said, “Director, if there’s nothing else for us, we’ll go back first.”

The director nodded and said gratefully, “Alright, thank you, teachers.”

After sending Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen off, Director Luo was just about to heave a sigh of relief when the assistant director rushed over to him. “Director, bad news. We’ve been slandered and trended!”

Director Luo exclaimed and frowned. He asked in surprise, “Who was slandered on the trending searches?”

The assistant director shook his head helplessly. He clicked on Weibo’s trending topic and handed the phone to the director.

When the lamb was feeling unwell, none of them went forward to show concern. In the end, it was Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen who sent the lamb back to the shepherd’s house for treatment. Because of this, the netizens began to question them.

The two sick lambs were from their group, but their indifference to the lambs caused a heated discussion online:

[Oh my god, it can’t be. I won’t say anything about Qi Yan, but what’s going on with Liao Jiake and Qi Zhen? As public figures, their lambs suddenly had diarrhea during the recording of the variety show. How can they be so irresponsible and heartless?]

[Pure passerby, I really want to scold them when I see this trending topic.]

[They have nothing to be afraid of. Even if something happens, there will be brainless fans to cover it up for them. In the end, they will push the blame to the production team. Those who are warm-hearted will become busybodies. They can act as they please.]

[I really can’t stand it anymore. Although it’s a variety show, they should at least put on an act.]

…

The next morning, the sky was light green, and the morning fog had yet to dissipate, covering the entire grassland.

With the staff’s reminder, Liao Jiake, Qi Zhen, and the others realized that they had caused a bad impact last night because of their negligence.

Although it was too late, the matter was not over yet. The production team brought them to the shepherd’s house early in the morning to visit the lamb.

Even so, there were still some viewers who were unwilling to buy it.

[Help! What were you doing earlier? You only know how to care now? Could this also be scripted?]

[In any case, this itinerary is going to end today. Perhaps they have no feelings for the lamb after raising it for two days.]

[I’m rich from laughing. If this wasn’t a variety show with an ongoing live-stream, I really would have thought that there was some scene that wasn’t broadcasted last night.]

[Who doesn’t have times when they’re muddle-headed? Do you have to cyberbully others in the comments section for such a small matter?]

Since the two lambs had yet to recover from diarrhea, the director’s previous task could not proceed normally.

The weather today was gloomy and the temperature was a little low, so the sick lambs were not released.

After they had eaten brunch and the rain had stopped, the production team decided to end today’s filming early.

At this moment, Lu Qingye’s company had also advanced the project as they wished. The company celebrated for them.

Lu Qingye had never liked such crowded occasions, but his team had worked hard for this project for a long time. As the leader, he had to be considerate to his employees and was forced to participate in their activities.

There were more foreigners in their company, so everyone was more open-minded. In front of Lu Qingye, they were already considered very restrained.

Halfway through the event, Lu Qingye could feel that the atmosphere had changed. He also knew that his presence was a little redundant, so he found an excuse to leave midway.

Assistant Yang followed him.

On the way back, Lu Qingye received a message from his mother: [Son, I’m going to look for your father now. You don’t have to worry about the company. I’ve already handed it to your uncle.]

Looking at the sudden message, Lu Qingye replied with a question mark in confusion, but he did not receive a reply from his mother.

Uncle also sent him a distress message: [Ah Ye, your mother suddenly ran away. Do you know? However, Uncle has been scheduled for surgery recently and can’t leave. How do you think this matter should be resolved?]

“…” He checked his schedule for the next few days and found that there were no special arrangements. Such a schedule was quite leisurely for him.

Lu Qingye replied to his uncle: [You can focus on the surgery. Leave the rest to me.]

After a while, Lu Qingye’s voice sounded in the quiet car. “Book me a plane ticket back to China the day after tomorrow.”

Assistant Yang, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, suddenly became excited when he heard the word ‘return to China’.

Assistant Yang responded happily at first, then asked curiously, “CEO Lu, are we going back to China?”

“Yes.” Seeing how happy he was, Lu Qingye added, “You stay here.”

Assistant Yang almost blurted out the word “okay”. When he finally regained his senses, he realized that it was too early to be happy.

Assistant Yang’s smile disappeared from his lips as he said aggrievedly, “CEO Lu, can’t I go back with you?”

“We still need someone to keep an eye on this side.”

Although the current project was progressing smoothly, no one knew if there would be any mistakes in the middle.

Lu Qingye looked at the itinerary. He was quite free during this period of time, so he chose to return to the country at this time and bring the lady’s scarf back.

“CEO Lu, you won’t leave me here alone, right?” Assistant Yang had been with him for so many years. He had stayed behind several times to keep watch of the company in his stead, but this was the first time he had been overseas on a business trip alone.

Lu Qingye said coldly, “What do you mean I’m leaving you behind? Can’t you buy your own ticket?”

…

Live-stream venue

After all the guests had packed their luggage, the production team returned the cell phones to everyone.

Although Meng Chuyuan had brought two suitcases with her, she was the fastest to pack. Before she had to return, she even specially ran to the shepherd’s house to see the lambs and feed them grass for the last time.

The other normal lambs had been released early in the morning, but some of them might have felt that it was too cold outside and ran back to the sheep shed.

She saw that the dehydrated lamb from last night had difficulty standing up. Today, it could already stand up and eat normally.

It seemed that they were in a better condition today.

Meng Chuyuan did not dare to stay any longer. She was afraid that she would be back too late and end up delaying the production team’s departure time.

When Meng Chuyuan came out of the sheep shed, a cold wind blew in her face. There was something as light as foam in the air. When she walked out, she realized that it was snowing in the grassland.

She looked at this magical scene and turned to look at the shepherd. “Uncle, is it snowing?”

The shepherd: “Yes, it’s snowing.”
