The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

The moment the kiss landed, Jiang Yanci paused, his hand holding the phone pausing for a second.

At this moment, the matte black G-Wagon stopped at the service area.

The engine's deep hum stopped, and the surroundings became quiet, with only the slight rustling of the air conditioning vents. The three people in the back were fast asleep, sprawled out in various positions.

Jiang Yanci's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had given this instruction when he hypnotized Ruan Yang and impersonated Jiang Zhuo: charging is equivalent to kissing.

Logically speaking, Ruan Yang should have forgotten it.

But at that moment, she still kissed him.

Is there a problem with the hypnosis?

still--

Jiang Yanci thought of a possibility and his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that his hypnosis was ineffective on Ruan Yang from beginning to end?

Could it be that when she obediently lets him kiss her and hug her, she is fully conscious?

His biggest worry was that the hypnosis would fail.

Once Ruan Yang regains consciousness and discovers that her trusted and relied-upon brother has taken advantage of her while she is "unconscious," she will hate him to the core.

But now, when this possibility was truly presented to him, what surged in his chest was not fear.

It's excitement.

It felt as if something scalding hot had exploded from the depths of his heart, causing all the blood in his body to rush to his limbs and bones.

If she remained sober throughout, yet never rejected him, what does that mean?

This means she likes him too.

A tremendous joy spread through my heart.

As if bewitched, he not only didn't pull away, but intensified the kiss.

His lips and tongue brushed against hers, his palms resting on the passenger seat, drawing her deeper into his shadow.

Ruan Yang was still half asleep and not fully awake.

Suffocated by the sudden attack, it obediently opened its mouth slightly.

"Brother, have we arrived?"

Jiang Zhuo's voice came from the back row.

With a hoarse and sleepy voice, it lazily squeezed out of his throat.

Ruan Yang suddenly awoke from a dream.

Realizing that this was not a space where she and Jiang Yanci could be alone, she quickly pushed him away.

"It'll be soon," Jiang Yanci said, his voice slightly hoarse.

From Jiang Zhuo's perspective, his elder brother's profile was shrouded in shadow, making it difficult to see clearly, except for a sharp jawline.

But when he caught a glimpse of his older brother's lips, which had a suspicious red tinge, he was somewhat taken aback.

"Brother, your mouth..."

Jiang Yanci wiped his lower lip, his fingertips tinged with a faint red.

It's Ruan Yang's lipstick.

Jiang Yanci raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ruan Yang, and said frankly, "It's your sister-in-law's lipstick."

Ruan Yang was in a very difficult situation.

Jiang Zhuo didn't think much of it, assuming it was a lip balm that his sister-in-law had given to his brother.

"Want me to drive instead?"

"No need."

The car drove all the way to the resort.

Huo's resort is an integrated complex encompassing two mountains and an artificial lake, offering both five-star service and a luxurious farm stay experience.

The young men were all from wealthy families; they were tired of staying in five-star hotels and were more interested in farm stays.

As soon as she got out of the car, Qiao Lingling started a live stream.

She volunteered: "I grew up in town and every summer I go to my grandparents' house in the countryside to help them start fires, chop firewood, and cook."

Netizens have changed their opinion of her somewhat.

Lingling is amazing!

I've always liked her; she was betrayed by her best friend.

I love this kind of high-energy girl!

Upon seeing the comments, Qiao Lingling's lips curved into a smile.

She then looked at Ruan Yang.

"Miss Ruan, would you like to stay at this farmhouse?"

Ruan Yang frowned slightly.

She grew up in the countryside until she was twelve years old.

The novel amusement park rides that city dwellers find novel are actually her original orphanage.

In winter, when it snows, the chimney of the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) in the welfare home gets blocked, and the staff have to take turns cleaning it.

The village's welfare home struggles to survive; sometimes when there isn't enough coal, they help chop firewood.

Summer is much better; they can go to the mountains to pick vegetables, catch chickens, and even go into the water to catch fish.

Ruan Yang was very good at catching fish, so everyone nicknamed her "Fish-Catching Queen".

Ruan Yang did not answer.

Jiang Zhuo was somewhat displeased. "Ruan Yang, didn't you hear Lingling ask you a question?"

Qiao Lingling offered a way out, "Miss Ruan has been pampered since childhood and would prefer to stay at the hotel, which I understand. But we've all come together, so don't worry, Miss Ruan, I can take care of you!"

Netizens commented:

Lingling is so kind!

Why should Lingling serve her?

Exactly! We're all human. So what if she's a rich heiress? Is she superior to us?

Ruan Yang prefers to stay in resort hotels.

But she noticed that Jiang Zhaozhao's eyes were sparkling, and she was very curious about everything in nature.

If I don't live here, Zhaozhao probably won't either.

Ruan Yang pulled Zhao Zhao back and said, "No need, I can take care of myself."

Jiang Zhuo sneered: "You'd better keep your word and not bother Lingling for help."

"No way," Ruan Yang muttered.

This resort was originally the site of an orphanage, and it has almost retained its original appearance.

Ruan Yang knew every tree intimately, as well as the stream.

That's where they slack off.

The young people were assigned to a two-story courtyard house with four double rooms.

Logically speaking, since Ruan Yang and Qiao Lingling were the only girls, they should naturally live together.

Jiang Zhuo said, "Lingling will stay in my room."

Everyone instinctively looked at Ruan Yang.

Ruan Yang didn't react much: "Then I'll share a room with Zhao Zhao."

Zhao Zhao excitedly raised her hand: "Yay!"

Soon, the remaining rooms were also arranged:

Qi Xia and You Yu were together.

Zhou Shiji, who was sharing a room with Jiang Yanci, felt a little apprehensive: "...Brother Yanci, is it okay if you share a room with me?"

Jiang Yanci said calmly, "It's alright."

Anyway, he's going to see his wife that night.

It doesn't matter which room you're assigned to.

With our luggage settled, it's time to figure out what to have for dinner.

As a high-end agritainment destination, guests need to pick their own raw materials to experience the charm of rural life.

There are fruit picking gardens and hunting areas on the mountain, where poultry and rabbits are raised.

Qiao Lingling said with a smile, "I've studied various cuisines before, so I know a little bit of everything. I can cook, and I can also help catch chickens."

The comments are all praising it.

Lingling is so reliable!

[I'm just missing this one camping buddy!]

[Does anyone understand? I really love Lingling, this high-energy girl!]

Jiang Zhuo said, "Ruan Yang, you just said you didn't need Lingling to take care of you, so you can cook dinner yourself tonight."

I thought Ruan Yang would throw a tantrum, but to my surprise, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhou Shiji, Qi Xia, and You Yu exchanged a glance.

Although they really wanted to help Ruan Yang.

But there's no rush.

They were pampered from childhood and couldn't distinguish between the five grains; Ruan Yang must have been the same.

The three planned to deliver the meal to Ruan Yang after Qiao Lingling finished cooking. Their act of kindness would surely move her, and their goal would be achieved.

Zhao Zhao pouted, "I want to help my sister-in-law!"

Jiang Yanci also stood beside Ruan Yang, showing no intention of leaving with Jiang Zhuo and the others, clearly indicating that he was taking sides.

Qiao Lingling gave Jiang Zhuo a reproachful look: "A-Zhuo, don't be like that."

She looked at Ruan Yang and smiled:

"If Miss Ruan is bored, she can help feed the pigs."

"I saw in the strategy guide in the room that feeding pigs can earn you a pound of pork ribs. I can make you a sweet and sour pork ribs dish."

Ruan Yang instinctively refused.

"don't want."

When she was little, she helped feed the pigs at the orphanage. Because she was too small, she fell into the pigpen and was almost eaten by the pigs!

Jiang Zhu sneered, "Lingling, ignore her. She's just used to being pampered. I bet she'll have nothing to eat tonight without you!"
