—[Nani? The Vase Fairy peeled the crayfish for Director Yan because of this?]
—[Suddenly, I feel like the Vase Fairy isn’t that annoying… it’s like she’s a different person]
—[Oh my god, I really changed my view of Xiang Yi. Her culinary skills are amazing, and she’s so considerate of others as well]
—[It’s true, it’s true! I just heard her talking to her manager in the pretty lady’s exclusive broadcast room. She even mentioned avoiding suspicion with Shi Yingdi!]
—[She’s just trying to stir up rumors. A dog can’t change its habit of eating sh*t, how can a Vase Fairy change their attraction to popularity]
—[It’s nothing but a script. There are so many dumb people these days who really think celebrities on reality shows are being real]
There was a spirited discussion happening in the comments. Some people changed their views on Xiang Yi, while others spared no effort in shaming her.
However, everyone was now of the same opinion: Xiang Yi was just faking in front of Yan Zhenhua.
They didn’t expect the girl to smile lightly and say, “I’ll go cut some wood.”

Huh?
Just like that??
She didn’t ask for credit, didn’t try to show off, or show off her meticulous, cunning nature. Just like that, she remembered such a trivial detail about Director Yan like the wounds on his hand???
Yan Zhenhua was even more satisfied with Xiang Yi. “Come, Shi Sui, let’s go see.”
Shu Sui pushed his gold-framed glasses up his nose bridge and followed after.
Yan Nai had also been dragged along by his dad.
The small kitchen was a traditional Chinese style building with an earthen pot furnace and stove as well as Xiang Yi’s cooking ingredients.
Dry firewood was available all year round, but it hadn’t been chopped yet.
Yan Zhenhua wanted to prove that he wasn’t old and picked up the ax to chop the wood several times. The wood, however, would either fall from the stump or just get stuck on the axe.
In the end, old age really took over as Yan Zhenhua became exhausted and began gasping for breath after a few attempts.
However, he believed that his technique was okay and that the only reason it didn’t work was because he wasn’t strong enough. Thumping Yan Nai on the shoulder, he said, “Ah Nai, you try.”
Yan Nai was hesitant. “I… I can’t.”
“What do you mean, be a man!” Yan Zhenhua exclaimed with a grin. “Listen to me, exert your force from this angle…”
He even made gestures as he eloquently explained to Yan Nai as if he were lecturing someone on set.
Yan Nai tried a few times but failed as well.
Yan Zhenhua was slightly unhappy. “Where did all the food you just ate go? You can’t even do such a little task??”
Suddenly, the live comments began to scold him.
—[Didi is skinny in the first place, and he’s never done this kind of work before. Isn’t it normal for him to mess up?]
—[What kind of a father is that? Yan Nai only ate tomatoes and eggs just now, he didn’t even drink any water. So what if you don’t care about your son, at least don’t be so mean. The poor puppy]
—[Toward these middle-aged greasy men like Yan Zhenhua, who is a good-for-nothing teacher, I am physically and psychologically uncomfortable. It’s making me think of my stupid boss going through menopause]
—[Heh, isn’t this the traditional parenting technique of our country? In addition to suppressing children, they also accuse them and never consider their feelings]

Yan Nai was sensitive to begin with, and after being ridiculed in public, he was a little dazed. He stood there blankly, unable to come up with an explanation.
Li Jianyu cleared his throat, fearing that the atmosphere would get tense. Suddenly, a man’s deep chuckle sounded next to him.
“Mentor Xiang Yi, can you please teach us?”
The netizens: …!
‘Gege, you are too flirtatious, who can even stand it!’
Xiang Yi nodded and demonstrated.
The young girl’s hands lifted the axe and then dropped it, splitting the wood into two.

Her actions were clean and swift, as if she was cutting a cake.
Immediately—
The netizens in the stream: …!
The pretty, little girl… No no no—the pretty sister is too manly!!!
