Trial Of Love Chapter 286 - Harvest Season

"Li Zi, wake up we're here."

Elizabeth was wakened by hearing w.a.n.g Ji's gentle voices. It's been a week since what happened and day by day she continued to hear strange voices as well as lucid and recurring dreams. She stretched her arms in the air as she slowly opened her sleepy eyes. 

"Where are we?"

"Sis Li Zi, if I'm not wrong this is Wuyuan village," Liying answered as she handed the fresh towel for the girl to clean her face. 

"Thanks."

"Li Zi, I'll go check with the director and staff. Liying, go prepare Li Zi's drink." 

w.a.n.g Ji set off in search of the director whilst Liying headed out to prepare Li Zi's drink. 

It startled Elizabeth when someone suddenly came knocking on the window. She turned around and saw some of the cast waiting for her. She pushed the door open as she greeted them. 

"Good morning." 

"Sis Li Zi, good morning." 

"Sis Li Zi, are we really going to your place?"

"Li Zi good morning."

"Here." 

Elizabeth grabs the drink Huang Ming offered her as she took a sip first before answering everyone's question. 

"Yup, I've contacted Senior Long and Senior Yan and they said, they'll be free the next day. Since will be too exhausted tomorrow." 

"Li Zi, thanks for inviting me too, and for allowing me to bring some of my friends." Yixing Zhang added bashfully. 

"No worries, the more the fun." 

Elizabeth grabs her hoody jacket as she got out of the van. 

As always, everyone is impressed with how the girl is dressed. She only wore a plain pants, a plain navy blue t-s.h.i.+rt, and last her beige hoody jacket. Pairing it with the snickers she wore last time but in a different color. Because of the way she dresses, the rest of the cast including Yuxie An started dressing up simpler as well. 

"Xiao Zi, can you please…" Elizabeth handed her drink to Yang Zi as she put her jacket on since it was quite cold already since it's already mid-autumn. 

Yang Zi took a sip of the girl's drink, "Sis Li Zi, you only drink latte?" 

"I hardly drink coffee, I normally just drink tea. I try to avoid drinking coffee because of my voice." 

Elizabeth took the coffee back from Yang Zi and started drinking it. 

"Does that actually work?" Leo Wu curiously asked.

"Yup, less caffeine is good for you." 

When the five of them arrived at where everyone was, the staff welcomes them with a big smile. For the first time, the staff actually interacted with the cast and they even inquired how everyone has been doing since the last time they saw each other. 

"Alright everyone will start in 10 minutes." 

One of the a.s.sistant directors announced. 

Director Mo seated in his mini director's chair as she faced the cast. "Everyone welcome to Wuyuan village. As you all know, Wuyuan village is known for its fertile land…"

As the director continued to tell the history of the village and the reason why they all gather in such a place. The cast expression slowly turned lifeless as they realize what's about to happen. 

"So today, you'll all be experiencing what it's like to be working in the fields. As you know, it's harvest season for some crops already."

"Director, are we going with our last pairing?" Deng Lun wondered. 

"Nope, this time you'll be grouped with someone else again."

"What?"

"No way…"

Someone of the cast expression darkens as they realize the possibility of working with Yuxie An. As the show progressed, they realize how bad she was at the same time, during the fourth episode of the season they were shocked how unfit she was. 

"Anyway, since will be grouping you it will still depend on your fate who you'll be grouped with. To make it much easier, all you need to do is draw a straw. At the end of the straw, you'll find out who you'll be grouped with."

One at a time they approached the director and draw a straw. 

Green Team: Deng Lun, Yang Zi

Orange Team: Wu Leo, Huang Ming, Yixing Zhang

Yellow Team: Li Zi, Yixie An

Red Team: Lin Qin

"I'm all alone?" Lin Qin notice she was the only one with the red straw. 

"Since the task, you've a.s.signed to isn't that challenging." 

"Does that mean our task is more challenging since it's the three of us?" Leo Wu asked, looking all gloom of the thought they'll be doing something challenging than the others.

"Not necessary."

The director then continued and started explaining the reason for the grouping and the purpose of the challenge.

"Now that you're all in your team, you'll all be a task with different things to do. Completing the task meal you'll be able to each lunch."

"Director, does that mean some of us will have a harder challenge?" Yang Zi innocently asked.

"That's right and not all of you will be working in the fields." 

Moments later, four farmers arrived with all sorts of equipment with them. 

"Please go to your respective color." 

They all went and greeted the farmer they are a.s.signed with. As they all put on the attire and pieces of equipment for the task. 

As they all went to their respective places. Elizabeth was happily conversing with the farmer whilst Yuxie An showed no interest at all. She was not the type of person to do manual labor. 

Meanwhile, Lin Qin has arrived at her place. She laughed seeing the amount of chill on the ground. 

The old lady sympathized with Lin Qin and said, "Dear, will you be alright?"

"Elder, no worries… I just didn't expect this will be my task. No worries, I can handle this." 

Lin Qin asked one of the staff to lend her a hair tie as she bun her hair. She then seated on the porch of the elder lady's house as she started working on the chilies. 

At the same time, Leo Wu, Yixing Zhang, and Huang Ming arrived at a Chinese Pear plantation. Acres of land were covered in reaping Chinese Pear. 

"So that's why they need the three of us." Leo Wu chuckled, seeing the acres of land they need to harvest.

"I wonder what the other task will be?" Yixing Zhang curiously asked, seeing their task seems to be easy.

"Well, I just hope Li Zi does not get the hard task or else she'll be working alone." Huang Ming sighed, thinking how the girl is doing especially she's been paired with Yuxie An. 

"I'm sure Sis Li Zi will be fine, but I'm more worried about Sis An." Wu Leo added.

Both Yixing Zhang and Huang Ming sighed heavy thinking of the girl all alone with Yuxie An is the worse scenario every. They can't help but worry that she might be mistreated by the b*tch.

As for Deng Lun and Yang Zi, they happily arrived at a rice field. Their task was simple, but tiring since they needed to weed the field so the farmer can harvest it next week. 

"Senior, what do you the other's are doing?" 

"I'm not sure, will find out later. Let's get this finish so we can go and visit them." 

"Alright!"

Director Mo and the head writer accompanied Li Zi and Yuxie An at their location. It shocked the crew to see where they at, apart from the director and the main writer, not a single one of them knew about the task. 

Director Mo worried about the girl but he knows she won't back on the task, but she is paired with Yuxie An worries him. 

"Director what should we do?" The head writer asked, worried seeing how shocked Yuxie An looked. 

"Well, we can't do anything about it." 

They watched as the farmer explained to the two girls what they needed to do. 

"So we need to clean the cow enclosure, you need to use the shovel and scoop it into the wheelbarrow, then you need to bring it all the way their…"

Elizabeth checks the location the farmer was pointing at, it was a few distances away, which means I'll take a minute or two to get there. But, because they'll be pus.h.i.+ng quite a weight it might take at least five minutes or more…

"Sure thing." 

Everyone was not surprised that Li Zi went ahead and grab the shovel from the old farmer and went inside. She started scooping the cow dung into the wheelbarrow. 

It didn't take long for the girl to fill the wheelbarrow, seeing the Yuxie An was still shocked by their current situation. She ignored her and went ahead and pushed the dung to where it needs to be dropped. 

When she returned, she glances at Yuxie An and said, "You do know that we need to work together to finish the task. But if you can't handle it, I won't push you." 

was about to puke because of the smell and was about to explode, she felt like throwing a fit. To think they'll make her do such a disgusting task. 

"Whatever…"
