Chapter 22

Today, the production team had the guests catch crayfish.

The place to catch crayfish was on the hill behind the countryside inn.

Soon, the guests set off, and after a half-hour walk, they arrived at the crayfish-catching spot.

When everyone got there, they found a large pond with flowing water both upstream and downstream, making the water in the pond very clean.

Most importantly, there was a vast expanse of lotus flowers in this pond.

The lotus leaves were lush and green, forming a continuous carpet, while the lotuses between them were fresh and elegant, incredibly beautiful.

Everyone was captivated by the sight.

The netizens in the live stream also started commenting.

"This is true countryside scenery."

"The scenery is so beautiful; it's clear there's no pollution."

"I want to visit this countryside inn too!"

Lin Yi was also amazed by the view before him.

He was born in the city in his previous life and had always worked in an office after growing up, so he rarely had the chance to experience nature.

Seeing such picturesque natural beauty now, he felt refreshed.

After watching for a while, he discovered something even more interesting-there were lotus pods in this pond!

Lin Yi took a few steps closer to the pond, reached out, and picked a lotus pod.

Seeing this, the other guests followed suit and each picked one as well.

Lin Yi, holding the lotus pod, went over to Huo Mianmian and explained, "Mianmian, this is a lotus pod; you can eat it."

It was the first time Huo Mianmian had seen a lotus pod, and he stared at it intently.

After a moment, he even reached out curiously to poke the pod.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is edible. Let me peel a lotus seed for you."

Huo Mianmian watched Lin Yi's movements with interest.

Lin Yi extracted a lotus seed from the pod, peeled it, removed the bitter core, and then fed it to Huo Mianmian: "Here, try it."

Huo Mianmian opened his small mouth, took the seed, and chewed it.

In the next second, his big, watery eyes lit up.

Lin Yi asked, "Is it good?"

Huo Mianmian nodded, his eyes sparkling.

Lin Yi then broke the lotus pod into two parts and handed one to Huo Mianmian: "Here, peel and eat it yourself."

Huo Mianmian took the pod and started peeling.

At the same time, Lin Yi peeled another seed and put it in his own mouth.

The lotus seeds were juicy, crisp, and sweet, very delicious.

Lin Yi peeled several more and ate them.

After a while, he casually glanced over at Huo Mianmian.

To his surprise, Huo Mianmian was still diligently peeling but hadn't eaten any yet.

Curious, Lin Yi asked, "Mianmian, why aren't you eating?"

He thought Huo Mianmian was planning to peel a bunch and then eat them all at once.
