AMTBYIGA Chapter 108

Chapter 108 The Next Day

Lin Sui trembled and shrunk into the corner, trying to awaken Gu Nian’s conscience, “There are still so many people waiting for us outside, let’s go over quickly.”

How could you do this to me in public!

They’re still arguing! Arguing should look like arguing!

Gu Nian knew what he was thinking and couldn’t help but find it funny, “I’m just checking if your legs got chafed from riding yesterday. What were you thinking?”

“…”

Lin Sui’s face turned red, and he retorted stubbornly, “Who told you to start pulling down my pants without explaining?”

Despite saying that, he released his grip on his pants, allowing Gu Nian to successfully pull them down. Seeing the obvious chafing on the fair skin, Gu Nian frowned, feeling a pang of sympathy, “Why didn’t you say anything yesterday?”

“It wasn’t a big deal anyway.” Lin Sui awkwardly pressed his legs together.

Gu Nian didn’t say anything more, directly getting up to take out some ointment from the luggage. He dabbed a little with his fingertip and gently applied it to the wound.

The ointment was cool and soothing, and the slight pain Lin Sui felt vanished. After putting on his pants and making sure nothing looked amiss, the two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the gathering place. Lin Sui curiously asked, “How come you brought something like this?”

He secretly glanced between Gu Nian’s legs, wondering if he was also injured but too embarrassed to say.

After all, how would the average person think that riding a horse could chafe your thighs?

Gu Nian raised an eyebrow, reaching out to lightly pinch the soft flesh on the back of the younger man’s neck, casually saying, “Because someone has such thin skin, and can’t tolerate pain, so delicate.”

“Someone,” Lin Sui muttered, not particularly happy with the “delicate” assessment.

Just as he was about to retort, the director called them over. Lin Sui had to quicken his pace to go listen to the day’s schedule.

“Teacher Lin and Teacher Gu are indeed in their honeymoon phase, so sweet they forgot the time while whispering sweet nothings.” The director teased with a smile, signaling the cameraman to focus on the couple.

He knew what the audience loved to see.

Lin Sui apologized, his face flushed, “Sorry.”

Gu Nian also followed suit with a serious apology, “We’ll definitely finish talking at night next time.”

Director: …

The director’s expression became subtle.

This guy knows how to hype up a CP.

His words were serious, yet hinted at a trace of ambiguity, the kind of vague feeling that could ignite people’s imaginations the most.

As expected, the barrage was already on fire.

[Ahhhhhhhh I’m going crazy I’m going crazy I’m going crazy]

[Mom, why am I watching while lying down? Because I’m afraid someone will see my perverted smile]

[At night? What night? What are you doing at night?]

[VIPs get to see the live, uncensored version!]

[Speaking of night, they must be talking with that thing, no wonder Sui Sui got up so late today… Hehehehehe]

[Now that you mention it, don’t you think Sui Sui’s walking a little unnaturally today?]

[Although, but, it seems real]

[I noticed it at the beginning of the live stream, I thought it was just because I read too many novels, but I’m relieved to see so many sisters thinking the same]

[Gu CEO, take it easy! This is on a show! (Do more, I love to watch)]

[Legs… Hehehehehe]

Lin Sui didn’t realize the malicious intent behind the words, nor did he know that his live stream’s barrage was being attacked by a group of perverts. He was seriously listening to the director explain the day’s arrangements.

“Today’s mission is very simple, which is to experience the herding life of the local herders. Each person will have a guide leading them, and at the end of the day, the guide will rate everyone, and the rating will be converted into points.” After the director briefly explained, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, “Then please enjoy the charm of the prairie.”

The nine people present all fell into deep thought.

The show lasted three days, and today was the second day. For two consecutive days, there were tasks related to points, so even a fool would know that they would have a significant effect on the last day.

Therefore, today’s ratings were crucial.

Thinking of this, several people present rolled their eyes, and some small thoughts suddenly popped up.

Wang Hong, as the person with the highest status here, asked jokingly, “These points at the end won’t be used to redeem plane tickets, right? If there aren’t enough, we won’t be able to go home?”

The director smiled slightly, determined to keep the suspense to the end, not revealing a single word, and leisurely returned to the crew’s car.

The crowd had no choice but to follow the program team’s information to find their respective guides, preparing to complete the task at hand first.

This task was a solo task. Lin Sui’s guide was a man with a big beard who had a very rough prairie vibe. The thick beard blocked his expression, making him seem a little difficult to get along with.

For fairness’ sake, today’s guides were all complete strangers, and this person looked fierce, so Lin Sui greeted him cautiously.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to care. After introducing himself, he took Lin Sui to the sheepfold.

The sheepfolds on the prairie were ridiculously large. Lin Sui stood outside the iron fence, looking up at a mass of fluffy white. The sounds of “baa baa” rose and fell one after another.

“Angqin, are these all your sheep?” Lin Sui lowered his head and made eye contact with a smaller sheep. Looking at its warm brown eyes, he gently reached out and touched it.

The texture was a bit rougher than he imagined, not that soft, but Lin Sui liked it even more.

The little sheep wasn’t afraid of people and didn’t react much to being touched. It stared at Lin Sui for a while before turning around and leisurely eating grass.

“Yeah.” Angqin answered the question concisely, leading Lin Sui towards one end of the pasture, “They seem to like you, which is a great fortune.”

Lin Sui blinked his eyes in surprise and couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the sheep around him, a sweet dimple appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The two arrived at a man-made house, mainly for newborn lambs that couldn’t go out to forage yet, waiting here for their mothers to return.

The lambs here were even smaller than the one Lin Sui had touched earlier. Because they had just been born and hadn’t experienced the wind and rain, their fur looked very fluffy. They lay on the ground, obediently looking at the two, their slightly lighter-colored pupils filled with pure innocence.

“Be careful, the immune systems of newborn lambs are not yet perfect, and the environment must be kept hygienic, otherwise they will easily die.”

Angqin softly instructed, his voice gentle. The man, who seemed so fierce on the outside, suddenly softened here, and Lin Sui felt that his eyes even had a maternal glow.

Lin Sui nodded earnestly, carefully bypassing the area where the lambs were active, and followed Angqin to the back where the fodder was stored.

“There is very little high-quality pasture left, so we buy back some feed to improve the sheep’s diet.” Angqin explained, pointing to the mountain of sacks, “I’ll give you a list of ingredients later. You find the corresponding fodder according to the list and mix them together, then feed them to the sheep in the sheepfold. That’s your job today.”

After speaking, Angqin handed a piece of paper to Lin Sui.

Lin Sui glanced at it, most of which he had never heard of, but fortunately, the sacks were labeled, and one serving of fodder wasn’t complicated, so it didn’t seem difficult.

But looking up at the sacks piled higher than him, Lin Sui realized that this wasn’t a simple job.

Before leaving, Angqin repeatedly instructed worriedly, “Be sure to strictly follow the proportions on the paper. I’ll check it before you feed them. If it’s not up to standard, you’ll have to redo it, and your rating will be very low.”

[Wow, this person is so fierce]

[But if there’s a problem with the feed, the entire flock will suffer, so it’s understandable]

Lin Sui nodded solemnly, put on the work gloves, and found the four types of grass on the list, then pulled down a sack of each.

The stone trough for mixing the feed was also ridiculously large. He put it directly on a trolley, and after mixing it, he could send it directly to the sheepfold.

Lin Sui carefully mixed a large basin according to the proportions on the list. The dark green fodder was mixed together so that he couldn’t distinguish what was what. Lin Sui checked the labels on the empty sacks he had used again and again before feeling relieved.

Just one mixing took half an hour. Lin Sui asked Angqin to help him check.

A professional is different. The fodder that looked exactly the same to Lin Sui became easy to handle in Angqin’s eyes. He flipped through the fodder and could see whether the proportions were correct. The face under the beard revealed satisfaction, and the tone became much softer.

“They’re all correct, keep it up.” Angqin praised him, rolled up his sleeves, and pushed the trolley, “I’ll take this out, you finish up and come find me, I’ll be over at the sheepfold.”

Lin Sui nodded with a smile, burying himself in his work with enthusiasm.

The warehouse for storing fodder was very quiet, only the sound of Lin Sui working could be heard. Then suddenly, Lin Sui stopped his movements, tilting his ear as if he had heard something.

The staff carrying the camera also realized something and nervously approached Lin Sui.

“Teacher Lin, did you hear it too?”

“Yeah.” Lin Sui pointed to the corner of the warehouse and said softly, “There seems to be something, I’ll go take a look.”

The staff said worriedly, “Or should we go out and find someone? What if it’s a rat or something…”

“Then we need to check it out even more. The bacteria carried by rats could cause the sheep to die on a large scale.” Lin Sui interrupted him, gave the staff a reassuring look, and tiptoed towards the location where the sound was coming from.

The air became quieter, making the sound even more obvious. It was rustling, like something was struggling. The staff couldn’t help but sweat for Lin Sui.

[Help, what is it, so scary]

[I didn’t notice it just now, but why is this warehouse so dark?]

[What’s with this horror movie vibe?]

[Sui Sui, come back quickly, rats will bite!]

[Barrage shield!]

Lin Sui held his breath, carefully bypassed the fodder bags that were blocking his view, and paused slightly the moment he saw the perpetrator.

The staff’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly went over and whispered, “Teacher Lin, what’s wrong? Or should we just leave? It feels kind of cold here.”

Lin Sui shook his head, put his finger to his lips to signal silence, and looked at the situation in front of him with a serious expression.
