Chapter 74 Help Me Plant Trees

For the first time, Lu Li felt that Zhong Ming was a strange person.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't need to say anything, just a glance would make Zhong Ming obey him, but at this moment, after he said so much, Zhong Ming just stood there without any reaction.

"Sorry to complain to you again." Lu Li's face was sad, and he looked particularly pitiful when he lowered his head and eyes. "It seems like it's like this every time. Whenever Yuanfei and I have a fight, I come to bother you."

According to Lu Li's prediction, Zhong Ming should hug him with great heartache.

But no.

Zhong Ming's eyes were clear, and his expression was a bit puzzled. After he woke up in the villa in the suburbs, he suddenly felt from the perspective of an observer that he was under a spell and was very stupid. Looking at it this way, Lu Li was no different. He and Zheng Yuanfei quarreled frequently and came to him. Wasn't he just seeking comfort from the spare tire? Zhong Ming reflected on himself. He was the only son of the Zhong family. Although he didn't have the power to cover the sky like Xuan Zhe, he had everything he wanted since he was a child. He had the final say in the circle. When did he fall into such a situation?

It's outrageous.

"It's good that you know." Zhong Ming's words startled him. Lu Li suddenly looked up and continued, "It's originally a matter between the two of you. It wouldn't be good for me to keep interfering. Stay with Zheng Yuanfei in the future. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Lu Li: "..." His heart tightened, and he finally understood what the system meant by "loss of vitality". Zhong Ming used to be the chess piece that he could control best, but now he was out of control.

Zhong Ming turned to leave, but Lu Li grabbed him anxiously. He used to be a high god, worshipped in Zhong Ming's heart, but now he has fallen into the dust. Zhong Ming ignored him. The man raised his eyebrows slightly, "What's wrong?"

Lu Li's eyes were red, but he didn't say anything, just shook his head.

"Oh, Mr. Lu, you're in a good mood, performing a Qiong Yao drama here." Lin Nuan crossed her arms and walked forward with a sneer on her face.

Zhong Ming, who had been expressionless just now, suddenly became nervous. He shook off Lu Li's hand with force, as if shaking off the dirt on his body, and stared at Lin Nuan with a bit of flattery.

Without his obsession with Lu Li, Zhong Ming found that he actually liked girls more. Well, he fell in love with Lin Nuan at first sight at the villa that day. It was not the kind of love that was clouded in his heart and made his behavior uncontrollable, but the kind of love that came from the bottom of his heart and made him want to treat her well.

Lu Li was stunned when he saw the fingertips that were flicked away by Zhong Ming.

"Sorry for the long wait," Zhong Ming walked forward with a smile.

Lin Nuan didn't give Zhong Ming a good look. She was holding back her anger, gritting her teeth for a few seconds before finally giving up. She poked his chest with her scallion-white finger and whispered, "Why did you tell me before that you'd let it go, but now you're still with Lu Li..."

"I didn't!" Zhong Ming grabbed the woman's hand and rubbed it gently, thinking how nice it felt. "I came straight here after receiving your call. I don't know how I ran into Lu Li at the door. He was chasing me and said some nonsense, but I ignored him, really!"

Tan Li, who was observing secretly, said: "Tsk tsk tsk."

Wen Shuang was stunned and put a peanut in her mouth. "No, aren't they progressing too fast?"

"What's with the fast?" Tan Li snorted. "You haven't seen how they're finding all sorts of excuses. Today, you treat me, and tomorrow I'll treat you. Their feelings are heating up so quickly, it's unstoppable!"

Wen Shuang's face changed slightly: "What should I do with Tan Tian and the other side?"

"Zhong Ming knows everything." Tan Li smiled, thinking Zhong Ming was quite manly. "Lin Nuan confessed to Zhong Ming from the beginning. The fact that Zhong Ming didn't back out only proves one thing."

"He wants to snatch people from Tantianhe." Wen Shuang continued, "Brother Gou is mighty."

"I know what you're thinking." Lin Nuan pushed Zhong Ming away, a bit arrogant and domineering, with a tone of contempt: "You just think Zhong Ming is easy to control, so you come to him to rest when you're tired and sleepy. Zheng Yuanfei waved and you kicked Zhong Ming away. Lu Li, can you have a little dignity? You're not a rare treasure. Why do you expect others to revolve around you? If you were half as good as Wen Shuang, today, let alone Zhong Ming comforting you, I'll come to comfort you!"

Good girl, you hit Lu Li’s sore spot.

Wen Shuang scratched her head shyly when she heard this: "It's really embarrassing."

Tan Li: “…”

Lu Li couldn't keep the smile on his face. He would look hideous if his true colors were revealed. After a long pause, he uttered, "I never thought of it that way!"

"Then why are you pestering Zhong Ming?" Lin Nuan pressed on, "If you have any grievances, go find Zheng Yuanfei!"

Lu Li was furious: "What does my conversation with Zhong Ming have to do with you? What position do you have to criticize me?"

Lin Nuan was slightly stunned when these words came out. The smugness on her face faded away, leaving only bitterness, as if to say, "Yeah, what position do I have?" The little girl looked lonely and pale. She immediately hit Zhong Mingxin with a hammer, and blood came out immediately.

Zhong Ming stepped forward and held Lin Nuan in his arms. He turned to Lu Li and said impatiently, "Alright, don't come looking for me again! I'm pursuing Lin Nuan, and she's always criticizing everything about me. Are you satisfied with this reason?"

[Warning, warning…]

Lu Li's head buzzed, and he didn't hear a word the system said afterwards. Lin Nuan, who was out of Zhong Ming's sight, smiled provocatively at him.

Tan Li and Wen Shuang saw this scene clearly.

"Holy crap..." Tan Li was stunned. "How did Lin Nuan manage to turn a concubine into a villain?"

Wen Shuang: "Sure enough, use magic to defeat magic."

Lu Licha, Lin Nuan is even more tea-loving than him.

If Lu Li didn't leave now, he might lose control and pull Lin Nuan's hair. That would be too embarrassing. He left in a hurry with anger, and Lin Nuan won a great victory.

Zhong Ming ignored Lu Li and just put his arm around Lin Nuan's shoulders. He was feeling elated recently and had no intention of letting go. He maintained this posture and led her to the private room. Tan Li and Wen Shuang had been waiting for a long time.

There were four glasses of wine on the table. Tan Li drank one without saying a word and said, "Brother Gou, I wish you a new life."

Wen Shuang also drank a glass: "Consider it my early wedding wine."

"Ouch~" Lin Nuan said in a delicate voice, "Where did the wedding wine come from?"

Zhong Ming was as happy as a landlord's silly son, accepting all of them. He drank the other two glasses on the pretext that Lin Nuan, a girl, was not good at drinking. Lin Nuan looked at Zhong Ming from behind, and she probably didn't know how gentle her eyes were.

Tan Li and Zhong Ming were drinking, so Wen Shuang didn't get involved, otherwise he would definitely walk out sideways after two more drinks.

You have to admit that Zhong Ming, who has gotten rid of his "dog licking" attribute, is still quite charming. He is tall, even burly, because he works out regularly. The muscle lines on his waist are very obvious when he sits there. He is handsome and has a good family background, and he is a perfect match for Lin Nuan next to him.

Lin Nuan hadn't expected Zhong Ming to not mind at all, not her notoriety, not her scarred past. In a way beyond Lin Nuan's comprehension, Zhong Ming embraced all her sufferings and promised to take her out of Chuanyu and treat her well for the rest of her life. Lin Nuan should not have believed these sweet words that were almost like a fairy tale, but they were too warm, and she couldn't help but sink into them. From the hesitation when Tan Li first extended the olive branch to the firm cooperation now, Wen Shuang was right, as long as people are alive, they have the opportunity to start over.

At nine o'clock, the phone suddenly vibrated. Wen Shuang picked it up immediately. It was a message from Xuanzhe: [I'll be at the hotel in half an hour, video]

[Yeah!] Wen Shuang replied and immediately picked up her coat. She said hurriedly, "I have something to do so I have to go home first. Let's meet again another day."

Tan Li: “Hey”

"Bang!" Wen Shuang slammed the door.

Tan Li: “…”

"What's wrong?" Zhong Ming was confused: "The tail is on fire."

Tan Li laughed: "Needless to say, it must be because of President Xuan. President Xuan has been away on business for the past two days. Didn't you notice that Wen Shuang has become depressed? Look, he didn't touch a single bite of the barbecue tonight."

"Fuck!" Zhong Ming had seen Wen Shuang's appetite before, and he couldn't imagine that this situation could happen to him.

Wen Shuang took a taxi home at lightning speed, kicked off her shoes at the entrance, and just as she rushed to the bedroom, the video call rang. Wen Shuang threw herself on the bed, which bounced twice, and then picked up the phone, "Xuan Zhe!"

"Hmm," Xuanzhe looked at the camera carefully, "Why are you out of breath after just getting home?"

"Yeah, I just arrived." Wen Shuang didn't have any intention of hiding anything. She explained the itinerary after the filming and then asked, "Are you too busy to eat today?"

"Yes, I'm quite busy. I've already eaten." Xuanzhe paused for a moment. "Don't be surprised if I hear your appetite isn't great today. Zhu Lian told me that Yang Lian will report any situation you have to her."

Wen Shuang: "It's okay, I ate a bowl of rice."

Xuanzhe suddenly became worried: "It's just one bowl." It would be unreasonable not to drink three bowls under normal circumstances.

"What time will you arrive the day after tomorrow?" Wen Shuang turned over. This deadly perspective lying flat on her back was also very pleasing to the eye. "I'll pick you up."

Xuanzhe smiled and said, "Missed me."

"I do." Wen Shuang admitted frankly, "It breaks my heart."

Xuanzhe suddenly clenched his hand on the table, his voice slightly hoarse: "Little Quail, you are exaggerating."

"That's not an exaggeration." Wen Shuang said seriously, "I miss you so much."

Xuanzhe: "..." Stop talking, stop talking, he surrenders.

Xuanzhe chatted with Wen Shuang for half an hour. It seemed that he still had work to do. After hanging up the video, Wen Shuang lay on the bed for a while, then chuckled, jumped up and took a shower.

Wen Shuang didn't have much work to do the next day. He attended a press conference in the morning and went to audition for a new play after lunch. It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that it ended. The video call last night seemed to have given him a reassurance. Little Quail was in a better mood today, and the second batch of saplings ordered also arrived. After everything was over, Wen Shuang returned to Qingzhou Villa and continued to work diligently as a tree planter.

The phone seemed to have been ringing for a long time. Wen Shuang put down the shovel and returned to the living room. She saw that it was an unfamiliar number and hung up directly! There was silence on the other end for a few seconds, and then the call continued. Who was it? Wen Shuang wondered in her heart.

"Hello"

"Are you deaf? My fucking battery is almost gone!" The person over there seemed to be very angry, speaking in a sarcastic and loud voice.

Wen Shuang was stunned for a moment: "Tang Weisheng, why are you calling me?"

"Open the door!" Tang Weisheng said angrily: "If Xuanzhe hadn't insisted that I bring you seafood, I would be willing to come."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone directly, very angry. Wen Shuang looked carefully and saw that there were 25 missed calls. Wow, no wonder he was so angry.

This was Tang Weisheng's first time entering Qingzhou Villa. Tang Wansu had mentioned it several times at the dinner table before, but this was Xuanzhe's territory, and Xuan Zhong could do nothing even if she got calluses from repeating it.

Tang Weisheng had a sour face, his hands were full of boxes, and he smelled like garlic crayfish.

Seeing the bare plum trees that greatly affected the overall appearance of the yard, Tang Weisheng looked disgusted and said, "You and Xuanzhe had a quarrel, so why did you use such extreme methods?"

"What do you know!" Wen Shuang hummed, took the seafood box from his hand, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and immediately felt hungry. At the same time, she wondered why Xuan Zhe let Tang Weisheng come.

The relationship between the two brothers has obviously eased. What Wen Shuang didn't know was that for that photo of him wearing women's clothing, Tang Weisheng had shamelessly poked Xuanzhe on WeChat, calling him "brother" all the time, but in vain. However, their relationship has undergone substantial changes like the spring breeze and rain. Xuanzhe probably called Tang Weisheng over because he was afraid that Wen Shuang would be bored at home alone, and even had a bit of a bad taste in his mouth, wanting to smooth over the thorns on Tang Weisheng.

As for whether Tang Weisheng would bully Wen Shuang, Xuanzhe was not worried at all.

Tang Weisheng was so wary of Wen Shuang that he almost wanted to gouge out his eyes if he looked at her any more.

"What do you want to drink?" Wen Shuang washed her hands and came out. Tang Weisheng was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking outside.

When children were young, they would play planting or shovel games on the sand. He had never played these games before. Now that there were no people watching him closely, he suddenly became interested. But that was all, as Wen Shuang saw everything clearly.

Tang Weisheng said in a cold tone: "I'm not drinking anymore. I'm leaving right away."

Wen Shuang poured him a cup of fruit tea and said, "Please help me plant trees later."

Tang Weisheng looked at him in disbelief and sneered, "Are you still asleep? I'm so bored I'm helping you plant trees."

"You are indeed Xuanzhe's younger brother. You speak in the same way that you deserve to be beaten." Wen Shuang said to herself: "Help me plant trees, and I will treat you to delicious food."

“What delicious food?”

Wen Shuang pointed to the box on the table: "Seafood."

I was the one who got that special code! The veins on Tang Weisheng's forehead were throbbing. He felt that he really had to leave, otherwise he would not be able to resist taking action. When he came back, he would cripple Xuan Zhe and fight him to the death.

"Hey, don't go!" Wen Shuang grabbed Tang Weisheng's clothes and said, "Help me plant it."

Tang Weisheng: "Let go!"

Wen Shuang: "Since we're here, it's just as easy as doing some work before leaving."

Tang Weisheng: "You fucking..."

"Sizzle——" The edge of the shirt made of the latest and most durable fabric came loose.

Tang Weisheng: “…”

Wen Shuang: "Oh! Did you buy it at the ten-yuan store?"

Tang Weisheng pointed outside, expressionless: "Come on, I will bury you alive today."

Ten minutes later...

Tang Weisheng waved a shovel and planted a sapling. The torn corners of his shirt fluttered in the wind, looking inexplicably desolate.

"Are you sure this thing can survive?" Tang Weisheng stepped on the surrounding soil firmly.

"It can survive, it can survive." Wen Shuang moved a small stool to bask in the sun, squinting comfortably, "Plant another one."

Tang Weisheng had his fun and was too lazy to pay attention to Wen Shuang anymore. He pretended to throw the shovel away.

Wen Shuang: "A SpongeBob SquarePants figurine."

The shovel that almost flew out was transferred from Tang Weisheng's right hand to his left hand.
