Xing Xiaochi finished eating dragon fruit, then moved on to mangoes, pineapples, and finally watermelon.
By the time he was done, he had nearly tasted every fruit in the village.
After finishing the last piece, he wiped his mouth, patted his round belly, and eagerly asked Ruan Xizhi, “How many fruits did I sell?”
A child’s competitive spirit is invisible but strong. He had heard the village chief earlier—whoever sold the most fruit was the most well-behaved child.
Yesterday, he had enjoyed playing the role of a sensible child at the elderly woman’s place. Today, he wanted to be the village’s favorite good boy.
Ruan Xizhi understood his little schemes. Wanting to satisfy his tiny sense of vanity, she said, “A lot, a whole lot.”
Xing Xiaochi was so happy he practically wagged an invisible tail. With a bright grin, he ran over to show off to Su Tongtong and Gu Chengcheng.
“Look, I sold a lot, a lot of fruit!”
Su Tongtong was very supportive, clapping her hands. “Wow, big brother is amazing! I want to perform by eating fruit too!”
Gu Chengcheng cheered, “I want to eat fruit too!”
The three kids played together, adorable as ever. Meanwhile, the live broadcast audience reached a new peak.
Only then did Ruan Xizhi lazily get up and turn to the camera. “Now, let’s officially start today’s live stream.”
【??? Huh?】
【Wait, so that wasn’t the actual start?】
【Does this mean there’s more fruit?】
【Rubbing my hands in anticipation! I’m ready to buy another round!】
Viewers were prepared to rush for more fruit, but instead, Ruan Xizhi picked up the camera and walked into the orchard.
This morning’s video had been purely promotional. The children’s fruit-selling was just to attract attention. Her real goal was to make people truly understand the village.
Living on an island meant unpredictable weather, with frequent typhoons. Aside from fruit, the village had almost no source of income.
And even that had been cut off two or three years ago. The only way to solve this issue was to use the power of the internet and showcase the best of this place.
The best way to do that? Let the audience see it for themselves—seeing is believing.
The orchard was vast and breathtaking, filled with fruits of all sizes and colors—red, green, ripe, and abundant.
Ruan Xizhi didn’t speak much as she walked, filming in an immersive style.
Villagers were still harvesting fruit. An elderly woman noticed Ruan Xizhi and warmly called out, “The fruit over there is ripe—go pick some! It’s very sweet!”
The sun was scorching, reddening the old woman’s face. She carried a basket of mangoes weighing nearly twenty pounds on her back, bending her already hunched spine further.
Ruan Xizhi smiled. “Got it! Take it easy.”
【Oh my god, it’s so hot! She doesn’t have to pick so much—they can’t eat it all anyway.】
【This is heartbreaking.】
【That’s how elderly people are… They don’t want good fruit to go to waste.】
As she walked deeper into the orchard, viewers started to realize what Ruan Xizhi was doing.
Every time she passed a different fruit grove, she wasn’t just walking—she was silently introducing it. Through her lens, she was showing them the hard work behind these precious fruits.
Every fruit tree had a numbered tag, meticulously recording how many times it had bloomed and how many fruits it had borne.
This wasn’t just about effort—it was a testament to the deep emotions of the villagers in Huang Village.
Their only resource was this fruit orchard.
Generations had survived on the harvests from these trees, season after season.
This lifeline could not be severed—nor could it afford to be.
【I can finally say out loud that I know about Huang Village! Ruan Xizhi’s footage has made me see its beauty in a whole new way.】
【I’m crying so hard even though Ruan Xizhi didn’t say a single word.】
【From now on, I’ll only eat Huang Village’s fruits!】
【When is the next batch available? I want to pre-order now before it sells out!】
【I’m not just seeing fruit trees—I’m seeing the villagers’ sincerity and hard work!】
Ruan Xizhi’s immersive documentary was edited into a short film and uploaded across major platforms.
The video quickly went viral, gaining tens of thousands of shares and likes, even catching the attention of CCTV.

Huang Village was now famous—not just as the so-called “Fairy Village,” but as the place where people were clamoring, “I NEED to buy Huang Village’s fruits!”
The live stream’s viewership skyrocketed, even surpassing that of Mom’s Back.
The director was stunned.
He had never seen anything like this before. What he thought would be a simple live-selling event ended up catching the attention of CCTV. This was the first time in his career that CCTV had reposted and liked something from his show.
Oh my god. Oh my god. Ruan Xizhi is a gem!
Wang Mingdong was beyond ecstatic.
Equally thrilled was Secretary Li, who had been casually browsing his phone in Haicheng Tower when he saw the video.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
The new madam is trending!
He immediately grabbed his phone and rushed into Xing Peixuan’s office.
“President Xing! HUGE news!”
Xing Peixuan, reviewing documents, looked up. “What news?”
His secretary could barely contain his excitement. “Madam and Young Master are trending!”
He stepped forward, about to show the phone, but Xing Peixuan only asked calmly, “How many times did Xiaochi smile?”
“Huh?”
The secretary was momentarily caught off guard but instinctively started counting.
“…Thirteen times.”
“Mmm. That’s good.”
That was the most Xiaochi had ever smiled.
Usually, when he got updates, it was either about Xiaochi crying or throwing a tantrum.
Looks like this contract marriage wasn’t a mistake.
Ruan Xizhi really could give Xiaochi a happy childhood.
She was a good mother.
