After five days had passed, the corn in the cornfields of Lanhou Island gradually matured and everyone returned to film the variety show again.

When Qiu Jin got off the plane, he was immediately hit by a violent heat wave. He got into the car sent by the filming crew with his sunglasses on, and he found out that he was the first one to arrive at the location.

After putting his luggage in the room, he then went downstairs to tidy up the room.

Having been deserted for more than ten days, there was a thin layer of dust covering all the furniture.

Qiu Jin wiped the tables and mopped the floors, then he put on a straw hat and went to the orchard to pick some lemons.

Just as he finished making the lemon and peppermint water, he heard the sound of a car from outside the house. It was Shan Wen and Tan Yunting, the husband and wife pair.

"I thought we'd be the first ones. I didn't expect you to get here before us," Shan Wen said as he carried his suitcase into the room.

"Why are you here so early and what are you doing right now?"

"I arrived a while ago. I was a little thirsty and made a drink, would you like some?" Qiu Jin responded.

"Let me serve it."

Shan Wen prepared a cup for Tan Yunting before preparing his own.

"You're such a diligent child," Tan Yunting chuckled and sighed, "When we first arrived here, I thought you were a big sluggard."

"Ah, I remember! Back then, we also had a..."

Shan Wen abruptly stopped speaking.

For a moment, Tan Yunting also recalled the memory. The two looked at each other and laughed.

Qiu Jin smiled.

"I feel like I'm being left out."

"It has something to do with you. You'll find out eventually."

"Yunting-jie is probably tired, right? Go take a rest first. What do you want for dinner?"

Tan Yunting was pregnant, so she did not attempt to be refined. She named two refreshing dishes and then pushed Shan Wen over to help.

The two men went to the verdant fields, fully equipped to move the corn.

"Have you heard? There are two special guests coming this time," Shan Wen said to Qiu Jin.

"Who?" Qiu Jin asked.

"The filming team didn't say anything, but they will be here tonight."

Qiu Jin nodded.

"Then let's cook some more food."

Even before walking onto the cornfield, they could smell the fragrant aroma of the ripe corn.

Qiu Jin and Shan Wen split up and soon harvested a basket full of corn. The white corn was a sticky variety and the yellow corn was a fruit variety. It was fresh, tender, and juicy. Just looking at it can make one drool.

When they returned, they found that Xiang Xi and Geng Leyue had also arrived. They each had a glass of lemon and mint water in their hand and were sitting before a blowing fan to combat the heat.

Geng Leyue sniffed the air.

"It smells so good!"

"It will smell more good if you come here and shuck the corn," Qiu Jin said.

Geng Leyue shook his head.

"No, no, I'm fine with just taking a sniff."

What a joke. His hands were incredibly precious. Insurance started at ten million. How could he do such rough work? What if he got an allergic reaction?

Qiu Jin put the basket down and sat under the eaves to peel the hull off the corn.

"Then are you still going to eat it?"

"...O-of course I'm eating it!" Geng Leyue said.

"Then hurry up and get over here."

Qiu Jin put the peeled corn into a basin.

"Get the kernels off from the cob, the white ones."

Geng Leyue was stunned.

'Why is he commanding me around like that? Just who does he think he is?'

Xiang Xi glanced over.

He abruptly stood up and said, "Let me do it."

Geng Leyue immediately grabbed the basin and said, "I'll do it. Hmph. It's just peeling some corn."

Shan Wen and Tan Yunting who watched the whole process: "......"

Was that childish or not? Were these two really twenty-something years old?

By the time they were nearly done with peeling the corn, Ji Shenxiao had also arrived.

Different from the business attire of the past, Ji Shenxiao wore a white shirt and jeans, with a button open at the collar of the shirt. The sleeves of the shirt rolled up to reveal his arms, and he exuded sexiness all over.

Next to him was a tall young man with short blond hair and two black earrings. Beneath his sunglasses, his eyes casually swept over the people present. He was unbridled and dazzling.

Could he be the special guest? He seemed to be a new face (in the entertainment industry).

Geng Leyue immediately recognized the newcomer.

"Why are you here?" He asked casually.

The coolness of the newcomer disappeared instantly within a second.

The man glared at Geng Leyue and bared his teeth and claws like a little lion.

"Who said I couldn't come?"

Geng Leyue rolled his eyes and said, "Go away."

Qiu Jin finally understood. Geng Leyue would not show a good attitude towards anyone, except Ji Shenxiao.

Qiu Jin was unaware that this person was Ji Shenxiao's younger brother, Ji Qisheng, who was nineteen years old this year until after the people entered the house. He was reportedly the center of a very popular idol group, and his popularity was quite high.

Although his figure was tall and strong, he was still a child, regardless of his age or his personality!

The child's temper was also quite fierce. In front of everyone else, he put on the attitude of 'this lord is supreme' and only in front of Ji Shenxiao would he show a cute child's expression. Qiu Jin immediately understood that this was a brocon.

Moreover, Qiu Jin felt that this Ji Qisheng was somewhat dissatisfied with him. The youngster's little sharp eyes had floated over to Qiu Jin from time to time, but when Qiu Jin raised his head, the other party immediately retracted his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

With the child acting like this, Qiu Jin was unsure how to set him to work preparing the evening meal. Qiu Jin looked at the work that needed to be done and felt a bit puzzled.

It just so happened that Ji Shenxiao came out at that time, so Qiu Jin asked him, "Are you busy with work?"

"I've got some time," Ji Shenxiao replied.

"Then help me grind the corn."

Qiu Jin held a basin that contained the corn kernels that Geng Leyue had previously peeled. After grounding the white glutinous corn into a paste, it could be turned into buns.

Ji Qisheng: "???"

'Every minute of my big brother's time is worth millions, and you want him to grin corn for you? And such a large basin too? Are you crazy?'

Ji Qisheng was indignant. In his heart, he was scolding Qiu Jin for being a scum.

'My brother is going to refuse you ruthlessly, just watch!'

But then, he heard Ji Shenxiao say, "Okay."

Ji Qisheng: "?????"

What did his brother just say? Ji Qisheng's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the scene in front of him in disbelief. However, no one else was surprised, and Ji Shenxiao even took the initiative to bring out the small stone mill.

Ji Qisheng chased after him.

"Brother, how can you do such a thing?"

Ji Shenxiao raised his eyebrows and sized up Ji Qisheng.

"You must be very idle."

"I-I can help you," Ji Qisheng said.

"I don't need your assistance. If you have nothing to do, then go to the kitchen and light a fire for cooking," Ji Shenxiao responded.

Ji Qisheng: "......"

F*ck, what kind of magical variety show was this?

How did his big brother change like this?!
