Lu Zhan asked the captain for the exact location, and ran towards the cornfield with the steaming package in his hand.

There were no electronic products in those days, and strong men like him usually had good eyesight. In the last rays of light at dusk, he stood on the edge of the field and could see at a glance the little girl with the iconic silk scarf tied on her hand, working hard.

Of course, there were also three other figures working hard, but they were completely ignored by him.

In his eyes, Qingdai was leaning against the corn pile with a dusty face. Her two pigtails were now frizzy and messy, and there was a frown on her pretty face.

Qingdai was regretting it at the moment, because the mulberries that the system secretly stuffed into her made her feel like she was injected with chicken blood. She accidentally used too much force, and the serrated leaves scratched her already precarious hand, causing it to bleed.

System: The host is breathing heavily, but it doesn’t hurt at all.

The small system could hardly control its hands. Looking at the glaring wound, it wanted to spray the host immediately.

But...it's not the time yet.

The small system began to complain about the male protagonist. What does the male protagonist do for a living? How could he let the host suffer like this!

The small system has started a series of complaints in Qingdai's mind, and Qingdai couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

To be frank with Lu Zhan now, she was only slightly better than a stranger, but not yet at that level.

"Alright, alright, if the male lead is useless, don't we still have you?"

Qingdai made a casual joke.

As a result, for some reason, this sentence made the small system blush, and garbled characters appeared on the electronic screen.

System: Although I am the host's sweetheart, I suddenly feel a little embarrassed to be praised so directly...

****

Lu Zhan, who was being muttered by the system, lived up to everyone's expectations. He found Qingdai's location and went down to the field in one go.

So he saw Qingdai's open, red and swollen palms and her fingers cut by weeds at a glance.

"What's going on!"

Qingdai was still complaining to the small system that she couldn't do this crappy job at all.

Suddenly, a pair of long legs wearing straight army green pants appeared in front of me.

A male voice filled with cold anger came from above his head.

Before Qingdai could react, her wrist was grabbed by a pair of strong hands.

"Hiss, be gentle."

Lu Zhan, who had a cold face, felt his heart suddenly contract when he heard her cry out in pain. His eyes also wavered and the strength in his hands suddenly relaxed.

In fact, as soon as he held Qingdai's wrist, he felt something was wrong. It was so thin and soft, and it felt like it had no bones. Especially since she was crying out in pain, Lu Zhan didn't dare to use any strength at all, for fear of breaking her wrist.

He hurriedly checked Qingdai's expression, and when he looked closely he found that Qingdai's originally beautiful face was now covered with some dust, making her look like a little cat. Her two pigtails seemed to have been hooked apart by the branches when she bent over, and they were furry and looked disheveled.

Qingdai saw that it was Lu Zhan. They had been working for an entire afternoon and it was almost dark, but they still hadn't finished. Everyone's workload was recorded in a book, and the work couldn't end until it was done. Thinking of this, she felt aggrieved for no reason and showed him her open palm. Only then did Lu Zhan see the finger with a cut on it and blood oozing out.

The man's face couldn't be uglier, and even Qingdai, the injured person, could see it.

Lu Zhan casually tugged at the scarf on her wrist, then lectured her:

"Are you stupid? Your palm is already broken like this, and you didn't even think to wrap it with gauze before pulling the weeds. What are you wearing it for? Just for looks, right? And have you never done any work? You can hurt yourself like this just by pulling a weed!"

Lu Zhan was both angry and furious, with a kind of fierce emotion shrouding his chest, causing him to speak in a very fierce tone, the kind that could directly make the little girl cry.

Qingdai really didn't expect that after a day's work, not only would she be working so hard, but she would also be scolded when it was almost over. When she thought about the work that had not been finished, all kinds of emotions surged in her heart, causing her, who was always optimistic, to burst into tears immediately.

"Why are you so fierce? I've never done any work or pulled weeds, so what?"

And what Lu Zhan said about wrapping her fingers with a gauze scarf. That gauze scarf was originally used by her to wipe sweat. It wasn't that she was completely inexperienced and had simply forgotten about it. She herself didn't even realize it, let alone the system.

However, sometimes women's tears are very effective in dealing with men with extremely fierce tones.

When Lu Zhan saw Qingdai, tears welled up in his eyes and he felt a little panicked.

He suddenly realized that this delicate girl came from the city and was not in good health. It was normal that she had never done farm work since she looked delicate and tender. Hadn't he deduced this when he saw her for the first time?

Seeing how she had messed up her hands, anger welled up in his heart, and he spoke without holding back his tone.

And wasn't it the same for him in the first few years after he arrived? But he was just a city boy, so he didn't care so much and adapted quickly.

But now, when he saw the tears on the girl's cheeks, he immediately panicked, and used his free hand to wipe her tears in a hurry.

"I...I, I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself just now, but I wasn't mean to you. I just..." I was anxious and concerned about you.

The 1.80-meter-tall man was busy wiping her tears. Qingdai couldn't help but burst out laughing as she saw his expression change from ferocious to panic-stricken in a second.

As God knows, her sense of humour has always been very high, but Lu Zhan's appearance inexplicably tickled her funny bone.

"Then do you still dare to be mean to me? This is also my first time going to the countryside, my first time working, and I have no experience!"
