Chapter 69

"Then what about you? Do you think this kind of life suits you?"

Kolo was still somewhat interested in this Chinese person who hadn't heard of her. Not recognizing her was understandable; Asians looking at Westerners should be like Westerners looking at Asians, face-blind, unless they really had an interest in someone.

But not even having heard of her still hurt a bit. This time, she agreed to come with Christina, partly to visit the ranch, and partly because Christina suggested giving him a good scolding!

Trevor and the others looked at Qin Yi with interest, waiting for his answer.

"I really enjoy the ranch life, which might have something to do with my personality! I might travel and see different places, but the ranch is my main job, and that won't change."

Qin Yi thought carefully and realized he didn't want to get involved in the outside world's intrigues. Although he couldn't avoid dealing with people, ranch life was the most suitable for him!

Actually, with the money Qin Yi had, it was enough for him to spend, but he didn't want to just live off it. He still had dreams; he wanted to have his own business and leave something for his descendants to make their lives better. He wanted to pursue true leisure, not to be anxious and calculating when he wanted to give someone a spirit grass!

Getting sidetracked, Qin Yi came back to his senses, shook his head, and smiled. He glanced at Kolo in the rearview mirror. She had taken off her big sunglasses and was very beautiful, though she seemed young despite her good figure!

However, looking at her delicate face, Qin Yi felt he had seen her somewhere before.

"Um, Kolo, can I call you that? Have we met somewhere before? I feel like I recognize you!"

Qin Yi felt a bit embarrassed after saying this. Asking someone where they had met seemed like a pick-up line, which was overused in China. Speaking to girls like this usually got him a dirty look!

Fortunately, the four of them didn't react particularly, just smiling mysteriously as Kolo pouted.

"You've seen me before." Christina was almost used to it; this guy never remembered people or things he didn't care about. "Remember the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I told you about Kolo Moretz, the cute girl I encouraged you to ask for an autograph!"

Qin Yi immediately remembered. At the time, he had mentioned it, but since he thought they wouldn't have any interaction, he didn't remember. He didn't expect to meet her today!

"Christina, I'm 18 now, a big beauty!" Kolo looked helpless, having waited so long to be an adult, only to be called young by Christina, who was just a few years older!

Christina? Qin Yi was stunned, looking at Christina with embarrassment. "You're Christina? At the time, I thought you were a fan of Christina!"

When the autograph was mentioned, Qin Yi recalled the day on the Walk of Fame. They had talked about the lead actress of "Twilight," Christina, but he never expected that Christina, who looked like an ordinary pretty girl, was actually Christina!

"You didn't know she was Christina? Oh, my God, now I have no complaints! Ah, Christina, I understand why you insisted on bringing me to Yi's ranch now!"

Kolo was overjoyed. She hadn't heard Christina mention this before. When she was invited, she was only told that the ranch owner didn't know her and had mistaken her brother for her boyfriend. Since she had never been to the ranch for a vacation, she agreed to come, not knowing Christina had something else in mind.

Christina slapped her forehead in exasperation but didn't plan to hide it. "Yes, I asked him if he knew Christina, and he thought for a long time before remembering 'Twilight.' I thought he knew me and was waiting for him to ask for an autograph, but he asked if I was a fan of Christina. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. Yi is Chinese, and not every Chinese person knows me, so I'm not embarrassed at all, not at all!"

Christina spoke quickly, waving her hands and wanting to rub her hair but controlling herself. She didn't want to seem too frantic!

At this point, Colin, who hadn't said much, couldn't help but laugh. "No one thinks you're embarrassed. It's nothing, except for the slightly bad expression and the obvious gritting of teeth, everything else is normal!"

Trevor and Kolo laughed so hard they were rolling around, and Christina, angry, reached out to hit them. Qin Yi could tell they were just playing around, so he ignored them and focused on driving.

"Alright, ladies," Qin Yi waited until they were done playing, then looked at Christina and Kolo seriously. "It was my mistake before. I just thought big stars were too far from me, a farmer, and we wouldn't have any interaction, so I never remembered these things. Now, let's get to know each other again. Kolo, Christina, I've remembered you. Having beautiful women as friends, I'll definitely remember you clearly."

"So what if you're a farmer? Money is hard-earned, no one is better than anyone else! Besides, you're a billionaire, much richer than us, with such a large ranch!" Kolo mentioned the ranch and remembered the purpose of her visit. What she wanted to know most was the ranch's entertainment options. "By the way, Yi, what fun things do you have on your ranch?"

The others were also very interested. Their previous vacations were either at beach villas or on yachts, so a ranch was quite fresh.

Qin Yi wasn't surprised when Kolo called him a billionaire. They had given him their addresses and would have checked his background before coming. No one would be so foolish as to come unprepared!

"The ranch is pretty standard. Horseback riding, picnics, barbecues, camping. Oh, do you like fishing? My ranch is a great place for trout fishing. If you like, I can arrange it."

"Oh, of course, I love fishing!" Trevor clapped his hands, looking very interested.

Qin Yi smiled, not sure if he was genuinely interested or just being polite. After all, he had been in America for over a month and knew some of their customs. For example, at a dinner party, guests would always exaggerate their praise for the host's cooking, no matter how it tasted, and eat quickly and a lot to show politeness.

Regardless, they were here to relax, and as long as they relaxed, it was fine.

At the ranch, Susa and Liu Qimeng, seeing the time was right, sat under the pergola to grind the coffee beans they had baked the day before, ready to welcome the guests. The word "guests" made them both laugh; they were guests themselves but now felt like hosts.

Their prediction was correct. They hadn't been sitting for more than ten minutes when they saw a pickup truck approaching, which was Qin Yi's. They put the coffee back in the house and came out to wait for the guests.

"Alright, guys, we're here. I'll introduce you to a few friends and then take you to your rooms to rest." After parking, Qin Yi got out and called to Susa and Liu Qimeng, "Hey, ladies, come welcome our friends."

"This is Susa, my neighbor, and this is Qimeng Liu. You can call her Mengmeng. She's working on tourism development at the ranch." After introducing them, he introduced the others to Susa and Liu Qimeng.

Actually, there was no need to introduce Liu Qimeng. She was delighted to see Christina and Kolo get out of the car, clearly recognizing them. After Qin Yi finished the introductions, she ran up to take a photo with them, making Kolo and the others very happy. It seemed they still had some fame in China.

"Bear, brown bear! Oh, my God, there's an adult brown bear over there, and a cub next to it, oh, God!"

Colin was smiling as he watched Kolo and Liu Qimeng take a photo, but suddenly noticed a group of cattle dogs and two animals, one large and one small, coming from the left front. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but the two unusual animals caught his eye. Upon closer inspection, his heart almost jumped to his throat. It was a brown bear, a mother with a cub. He couldn't help but shout, seeing a child nearby, his first reaction was to save the child.

Trevor, hearing the shout, quickly looked over and was also startled. "Run, no, no, don't run, shout at the brown bear, shout, don't run!"

Could they outrun a brown bear? Running would only make it chase them. He remembered from videos that standing still and shouting at an approaching brown bear could scare it away. He quickly came up with an idea and shouted to Qin Yi, "Yi, do you have a gun, a gun, get a gun!"

As he said this, he turned to look for a stick or something to use.

Qin Yi, hearing Colin's shout, quickly reacted and stopped him. "Colin, stop, don't worry, Colin, those are pets, our pets, they won't hurt anyone."

Hearing this, whether it was Kolo, who was running to save the child, Trevor, who was looking for a weapon, or Kolo and Christina, who were scared and wanted to hide, they all froze.

Pets?

What's going on?
