Chapter 3 — I Raised a Rich Second Generation in the Village

4

Pho An was very quick and immediately noticed that I was a little different: "What's wrong?" I regained my composure and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that we have a good relationship." Pho An was a bit stunned and raised his head to look at me. I continued: "You are also from Lam Giang, you just haven't been back for many years." I pulled my hand out of his hand, looked closely at his finger and complimented: "The bandage is beautiful, thank you." Maybe he wasn't used to being praised so directly, his ears immediately turned red.

“No need to thank me.”

Is this good? Suddenly I softened and instinctively patted his head: "Come on, I'll bake sweet potatoes for you to eat." As soon as he finished speaking, click — the sound of a photo being taken rang out. We were both startled and turned our heads to look out into the yard. A girl with shoulder-length hair was struggling to crawl on the wall, constantly dialing her phone, mumbling curses: "Damn! Forgot to turn off the sound!" Pho An frowned, clearly recognizing her. He called: "Ly Duong Duong?" Hearing that name, I immediately knew who this girl was - the only girl in the cast of guests on the Transformation Journey. Being discovered stealing photos without any shame, she immediately climbed down from the wall as if nothing happened.

“Hello~”

She greeted me first, then looked at Pho An.

"Hey Pho An, are you asking me the secret to avoiding the camera to do something shady here? You're not playing nice at all!"

She walked completely into the yard. When I got closer, I could see her face clearly. Small face, sharp features, prominent phoenix eyes - a girl with a very strong temperament. She glared at Pho An, then turned to me and nodded politely.

“Hello.”

Next is…

“Do you have anything to eat?”

Ly Duong Duong is clearly a very natural person, like no other. I cooked her a bowl of noodles, she ate like she had been starving all day. I asked tentatively: "Doesn't the program give you enough to eat?" Ly Duong Duong waved his hand: "No, it's because I'm on a hunger strike with the filming crew." Me: “…” I didn't have the heart to bother her eating, so I stood quietly beside her. In the air, bullets flashed continuously: 【Hahahahaha I'm dying of laughter, Ly Duong Duong is really interesting.】 【Probably no one knows that Ly Duong Duong and Pho An are elementary school classmates, right? They're so close.】 【Pho An's face turned black when he saw Ly Duong Duong, like an introvert afraid of social butterflies.】 Are you in elementary school? I didn't expect that. 【Ly Duong Duong is actually good, just a bit hot-tempered! When she first arrived, she had a bad reputation because she accidentally exposed herself, and some male directors even teased her with dirty words. She deliberately tried to retaliate.】 【And the retaliation was really clever, the other directors were scared to death, had to apologize privately and automatically withdraw from the filming crew.】 【I also think Ly Duong Duong is good, very personable.】 【Don't you think these two people are so cute together? One touch and an explosion: hot-tempered girl vs quiet guy who loves to eat.】 【No pushing the boat, just watching serious shows...】 There's so much information in these bullet points, I'm stunned. Just now I had a bit of prejudice against Ly Duong Duong, because according to my neighbor's aunt, she was the type of person with a bad temper, poor manners, and always making things difficult for workers... But looking back now, the truth may not be quite as rumored. If what the bullet says is true, then this girl is worthy of praise! I'm lost in thought, Deputy An didn't know when he was standing next to me. He said softly: "Sorry." I was surprised: "What's wrong?" Why suddenly apologize? Pho An: "I didn't know she followed me here... Her personality is a bit impulsive, maybe it will bother you..."

“It's okay.” I smiled: "I think she's cute, I quite like her."

Ly Duong Duong finished his last sip of water and then burped with satisfaction. She looked over, her eyes shining.

“Pho An, are you saying bad things about me?!”

Pho An looked at her without responding. Ly Duong Duong stepped forward, bowed his head and thanked me very seriously, then suddenly jumped up, wrapped his arms around Pho An's neck:

“Eat meat and don't let me drink any water!? You're really selfish!”

Pho An shook her hand away, without saying a word, went straight to help me set the table. Then he put on an apron and started washing dishes. Ly Duong Duong also approached the assistant, helping and muttering: "The director is looking for you. If you don't want this secret place to be revealed, you should go quickly." Pho An stopped while rubbing the bowl and said "Yes" softly. 5 From that day on, every time Pho An secretly came to my house, he always had a... tail attached to his back. I went from having to worry about feeding one mouth, to now having to worry about two. But Ly Duong Duong is different, very fair. She stuffed a stack of ten million bills straight into my kitchen drawer. I was startled: "Where did you get that!?" She waved her hand: "Don't worry, I didn't steal it. The money my family gave me, I hid it very well, no one from the filming crew discovered it."

“Consider it my food money.” Having said that, she pouted and looked to the side: "I'm not like someone else~"

Next to him, Pho An was holding a bowl of rice, his face red. After a while, I choked out a sentence:

“Sister, give me your bank account number... I'll transfer the money to you when I get home.”

There... Why has it turned into a competition like this? 【Laugh out loud, they're so cute!】 【I'm really "pushing the boat" with these two!】 【Does anyone know of any stories with this type of couple? Please introduce me, I'm addicted!】 I don't know if I was influenced by these bullet points, but I... also started to feel that there was something vague between Pho An and Ly Duong Duong... Wait a minute! Stop! I shook my head a few times, dispelling the strange thoughts in my head. Maybe the two of them are just close friends, it's not good to think about it haphazardly. Half an hour later, I went to the stream to wash vegetables. Ly Duong Duong secretly followed me there. She imitated the way I washed the vegetables, little by little moving closer.

“Sister…”

Her voice suddenly became small and somewhat shy.

“I want to ask you something.”

I was stunned: "Just ask."
