Chapter 12 - Gifting Calvin a Raincoat

Sofia opened her suitcase and under Calvin's puzzled gaze, she pulled out two plastic coats.

Seeing these two little yellow duck plastic coats, Calvin was completely confused about what she wanted to do.

"Wear this when cleaning.

There's mud all around here, and it's hard to clean if it gets on your clothes," she said while slipping into one of the coats.

Calvin just watched in amusement as Sofia transformed into a walking and talking rubber duck.

Looking at the other plastic coat, Calvin rejected the idea internally.

Though he generally didn't pay too much attention to various things, he did care about his image to some extent.

If it was a regular plastic coat, he wouldn't mind wearing it.

But he truly couldn't bring himself to accept the little yellow duck one.

Seeing Calvin standing in place without moving, Sofia didn't bother trying to convince him further.

The coat had been offered; whether he wished to wear it or not was up to him.

She donned the yellow duck hat and began cleaning.

Calvin stood there looking for a while, finally sighing and putting it on.

And so, one large and one small duck started bustling around.

The coats were rather large, and from the drone in the sky, they truly looked like two ducks moving around.

"Hahaha! I love this coat!

Wearing it to avoid dust while cleaning is a great idea! I must check how much it costs as soon as possible!"

"I went to look on Alibaba's shopping wall, not expensive at all!

You can get them for just dozens of Dollars, and it's the same yellow duck style!"

"Quickly buy it!

This is the same style worn by Calvin!

Honestly, I didn't expect Calvin to actually wear it with her.

I heard that silliness is contagious, and it's only the first day--I'm suddenly worried about Calvin's image in the future."

"You guys continue chatting over here, I'm going to rush to buy it.

The yellow duck coats are almost sold out already!"

Looking at the surge of orders on his platform, the merchant selling the little yellow duck raincoats was utterly stunned.

"Is there a glitch on the platform or something?

Why are there suddenly so many purchases of these little yellow duck raincoats?"

Moreover, they sold out in no time at all.

This line of raincoats wasn't exactly a hot commodity, usually purchased by adults for their children.

The raincoat came in three sizes: small, medium, and large.

The small size was somewhat popular, but hardly anyone purchased the medium and large sizes.

Furthermore, most adults considered these overly juvenile.

They would much rather buy transparent ones than those in cartoon style.

Now, the small, medium, and large sizes of the little yellow duck raincoats are completely sold out.

Some of the other items like little frogs and flowers have also sold a bit, but not as much as the yellow duck ones.

There are also a lot of people leaving comments in his section, asking him to produce more of these little yellow duck raincoats.

From the comments, he came to know about the incident in the audition show.

Sofia and Calvin don't even realize that they've started a raincoat trend.

The two of them are rather efficient workers.

Within half an hour, they had tidied up the place completely, partly because it was a small area and easy to clean.

Looking at the duck raincoat in front of him, Calvin asked the puzzle, "Why would you pack something like this in your suitcase?"

Sofia raised her eyebrows smugly, "That's because I have foresight.

The coast is often rainy and windy.

Using an umbrella can become inconvenient with the wind. Hence, a raincoat is more handy, and can also be used for usual chores.

It's multipurpose indeed!"

Calvin chuckled at her flamboyant demeanor, "Indeed, it is multipurpose.

This is what they call, 'forewarned is forearmed.'

Perhaps I'll need your assistance in this week. I packed only an umbrella."

Sofia waved her hand generously, "It's no big deal.

I'll gift you this raincoat.

I'm glad the two sets I bought are both in large size, or else you won't be able to fit in it."

Although she stood at a height of 1.68 meters, next to Calvin, she barely reached his shoulder.

This man was at least 1.88 meters tall.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, plus such a handsome face, he was indeed a rare find!

Calvin suddenly remembered the not-yet-appeared male lead, seemingly named Gerald.

She wondered who among Gerald and Calvin was more handsome and taller.

The straw hut has two rooms, Sofia lives in the inner room, while Calvin stays in the outer room.

They cook in a shed outside.

Seeing their comical state, the director approached them with a mischievous smile.

"Thank you for your hard work.

Lunch is ready.

Here's a task card.

You can ask for a meal at the task destination based on this," the director said.

Sofia took a look at the task card, oh my!

Isn't this map a maze?

The card showed a twisty route.

Looking at it gave Sofia a headache.

She was good at most things, but directionally challenged, often having to rely on phone navigation and sometimes still couldn't find her position.

Looking at Calvin next to her, Sofia seriously asked him, "Can you navigate?"

Calvin nodded.

Sofia immediately handed him the task card.

"Since you can navigate, then you read the map," she said.

"I'm not good with directions, so I don't want to lead you astray."

Calvin had no objections.

The two tidied a bit and set off.

The other two teams were also on their way, but the atmosphere between Cindy and Nolan was off.

During cleaning, Nolan always tried to be in the spotlight, making sure he was the one to do whatever Cindy set out to do, even if it was for her own good.

Cindy had high standards for cleanliness, her accommodations could be simple, but it should not be dirty.

Nolan's cleaning did not meet her standards, yet he seemed oblivious to this, thinking he had done a great job.

Finally, Cindy couldn't stand it anymore and said directly, "I appreciate your willingness to help me clean, but it's really not necessary.

I have a high standard for cleanliness and I prefer to clean myself."

After she finished speaking, she took a cloth and wiped the table that Nolan had just cleaned.

The dust on the cloth was clearly visible.

Nolan's face fell at his words, but she didn't want to let her displeasure show on camera, so she had to bear with it.

Inside the live broadcast, Nolan's fans were also upset on her behalf.

[So the person who just got found is starting to show her missy temper now, huh?

Nolan is caring for the girl, treating her nicely out of goodwill, not obligation.

Did you have to say it like that?]

[Just ascended to the status of a madam and she's already acting high and mighty, huh?

I used to feel sorry for her, but now I have absolutely no fondness for her.]

However, there were also some defending Cindy.

[I think there's nothing wrong with what Cindy did.

From the beginning to the end, she never offered to go out and help, Nolan brought it all upon herself.]

[Exactly, he wanted to show off his capability, but failed to live up to expectation.

He couldn't even clean properly, if I were Cindy, I'd be speechless too.]
