‘Didn’t you see how intense and dangerous those moments were? Anyone with eyes can tell it wasn’t staged.’
‘Why don’t you try acting out a scene based on this publicity stunt? If you can pull it off, I’ll eat my hat.’
‘And besides, why can’t reading faces be amazing?’
‘Weren’t there several masters of mysticism who did live fortune-telling before?’
‘I’m speechless at these brainless fans.’
‘Don’t you feel a pang of conscience belittling such a heroic act?’
‘In the eyes of these brainless fans, all they need to do is worship the people they idolize and ignore everything else.’
‘Fans of Aaron, his sister, and Mr. Foster, this is enough. Even I, a casual viewer, can’t stand this anymore.’
‘That’s right. It’s not like Rebecca and Zac desecrated the graves of the people they worship. Is it necessary to keep targeting them like this?’
‘I find them annoying now, and it’s making me dislike those three as well.’
This time, it was not just Zac’s fans who disliked the trio; even fans of Eric and Keira, as well as casual viewers, were annoyed by these offensive comments. Naturally, the trio’s zealous fans refused to back down, so they came into conflict again with casual viewers and fans of the other guests.
Meanwhile, after Rebecca and Zac finished showering and getting dressed, Deuce and Uno brought their two mischievous kids to the farmhouse. They looked at Rebecca and Zac with gratitude, expressing, “We can’t thank both of you enough for what you did today.”
They even wanted to bow to the duo to express their gratitude, but Rebecca stopped them in time. “Knowing that the two kids were in danger, we certainly wouldn’t have just stood by and done nothing when saving them was within our capabilities.”
It was the second time she had used the phrase ‘within our capabilities’ today. Instead of turning people off, it made everyone think she was very down-to-earth. She saved lives without deliberately seeking credit for it.
Deuce stressed gratefully. “No matter what, our families owe you two a huge favor.”
If Rebecca hadn’t noticed something wrong with his appearance, rushed to the reservoir on time, and jumped into the water to save the children before they were in danger, he couldn’t bear to think about what might have happened to them.
Uno nodded in agreement. “That’s right! We’ll always remember your kindness.” Both of their families had only one son, whom they cherished dearly. If their sons had been swept away and drowned in the reservoir, it would have been extremely difficult for their families to accept.
Feeling indebted, they insisted on repaying Rebecca and Zac. They asked them what they wanted and were willing to offer anything within their means.
Their sincerity made it difficult for Rebecca to refuse directly. So, she said, “In that case, how about treating us to a meal?”
Initially, when she saw the distress on their faces, she had only wanted to save the children as quickly as possible and had no intention of accepting any repayment. It was only because she sensed their unease, as if they couldn’t live with themselves without repaying the favor, that she suggested they treat her and Zac to a meal.
However, Deuce proposed, “A single meal is not enough. How about this? While you’re filming in the village, you can come to my house for meals.” Still, he believed there must be a more appropriate way to repay the duo’s kindness.
Uno hurriedly added, “You can come to my house for meals as well. All your meals during your stay here are on us.”
Jonah was left speechless. If all their meals are covered, what will be left for the viewers?
Fortunately, before he could intervene, Rebecca declined their offer with a wry smile, saying, “You don’t have to do this.” She suggested, “How about each of your families treats us to a meal instead?”
However, the two men continued to warmly invite them, suggesting that they take turns dining at their homes in the following days.
Finally, Jonah couldn’t help but interrupt, “We’re in the middle of filming. They can’t keep going to both of your houses for meals.”
When Jonah mentioned it, the Webb brothers suddenly remembered that Rebecca and Zac were well-known personalities visiting the village for a program.
To avoid disrupting their work, the Webb brothers reluctantly agreed. Deuce said, “Alright, then. You can go to Uno’s house for lunch and come to my house for dinner in the evening. Given your eventful and exhausting day, there’s no need for orchard work. Just take a break.”
Since the Webb brothers knew that Eric and Keira were part of Rebecca’s team, they extended the same warm invitation and relieved them of orchard work. The Webb brothers’ genuine hospitality made it difficult for the four of them to decline, and they had no choice but to accept.
Uno and Deuce then left, leaving Keira and Eric in the courtyard.
Eric smiled at Rebecca and said, “Thanks to you, we’ve had an easy day.” He deeply admired Rebecca and Zac for their heroic rescue. Under the circumstances of the dam being opened, Eric acknowledged that he might not have had the courage to jump into the water.
This incident made him appreciate Rebecca and Zac even more. Their willingness to risk their lives to save the children spoke volumes about their character. Moreover, both of them had straightforward personalities. Dealing with people like them was not tiring, and there was no need to worry about being betrayed.
Keira had a similar thought as she gazed at Rebecca in admiration. “You’re amazing, Rebecca.” She thought, Not only is she skilled in physiognomy, but she’s also fearless. Although I can swim, I might not have had the courage to dive into the water like her.
During the most dangerous part of the current, Rebecca had selflessly put her safety on the line to rescue Zac. Thankfully, both of them were safe. They might have faced a tragic fate if they had been swept away together.
Keira admitted that she couldn’t have done such a thing and admired those who could.
With a smile, Rebecca explained, “I’ve been consistently working out, so I have decent stamina.” She then suggested, “Since we don’t need to go to the orchard today, how about we tackle some tasks here in the yard? Tasks that we can continue later.”
The people present were even more impressed when they heard her change the subject. In this situation, most others would likely have kept discussing the rescue during the livestream.
Zac, too, preferred not to dwell on the rescue unnecessarily, as their actions had stemmed from genuine concern and not a desire for recognition. So, he agreed, saying, “Sure, what tasks should we take on?”
Rebecca pondered momentarily and said, “What are you all good at? I can handle electrical repairs.”
“Does being good at playing video games count?” he asked with a smile.
She laughed and replied, “You’re a national esports champion who brought glory to the nation. Of course, it counts, but you won’t be able to showcase your skills here.”
The recent rescue had deepened their bond, evident in his more relaxed demeanor while speaking to her. He said, “Do you have any other suggestions?”
She asked, “What are your special talents, or do you have any hobbies?”
Without hesitation, Zac answered, “I excel in playing video games, singing, and dancing. I’m also proficient in playing musical instruments.”
Eric chimed in, “My main talent is acting, and I have a passion for calligraphy and ink painting.”
Keira added, “I’m best at singing and dancing, and I enjoy playing video games and buying lots of stuff.”
Their conversation prompted playful teasing from their fans in the live chat, creating a cheerful atmosphere. They found the four of them to be authentic and relatable.
After contemplating, Rebecca suggested, “How about we organize a few classes here based on your strengths and hobbies?”
The three of them were puzzled. “Organize classes?”
Rebecca nodded and explained, “Yes, the village head mentioned that most people in the village are either elderly or children. We can do something for them since it’s summer break now and the kids are at home. For instance, Zac, you can teach the kids to sing, dance, or play musical instruments.”
After all, the production team could provide them with the necessary materials, like musical instruments.
Rebecca continued, “Eric can teach the children calligraphy and ink painting; Keira can teach the children singing and dancing, and I can help with electrical repairs or tutoring homework. We don’t need to be paid in money; just some food from them will do.”
They found a way to earn food and enhance their live-streaming content. Otherwise, spending all day picking peaches in the orchard would eventually bore the viewers.
After hearing her suggestion, the three of them lit up with excitement. They realized that her idea was more entertaining than fruit picking and easier. Ultimately, they all agreed, “That’s a great idea.”
After some thought, Keira suggested, “Why don’t we prepare today and start the classes tomorrow?”
The others concurred, saying, “Sounds good.” They also wanted to make some preparations to ensure they wouldn’t embarrass themselves while teaching the children on the live stream.
Smiling, Rebecca suggested, “Let’s go speak with the village head later and have him address the villagers.”
The three of them readily agreed, saying, “Alright.” However, before they could visit the village committee, the village head paid them a visit.
The village began by expressing gratitude to Rebecca and Zac for saving the children. Then, he explained the accidental opening of the dam’s gate. It turned out that the person responsible for guarding the dam had briefly left for the restroom, and his mischievous son had tampered with the switch, unintentionally opening the gate, which could have led to a catastrophe.
