58 The Gardener's Flowerbed (5)

Let it rest in peace

He pursed his slightly aching, moist lips, forcefully pulled his reddened fingers away, and hid them behind his back as if trying to escape, coldly warning, "We're just strangers!"

That was really too much and caught him completely off guard.

Now that his reason has returned, he wishes he could turn this boy who has so rashly taken advantage of him into real fertilizer!

Seeing that he was no longer suppressing his anger and his expression was much more lively than his initial cold and indifferent demeanor, Qin Fu'an was satisfied with the warning he had received.

As for the so-called strangers?

Who has ever seen strangers kiss on the first meeting?

Or is it a stranger whose spirit swarms from all directions and wraps around your entire body the moment you meet them?

After being glared at by Xie Yunhuai, Qin Fu'an stood there innocently and obediently without moving, and did not say anything strange to provoke him.

However, when the person turned to leave, he followed closely behind.

Stepping on Xie Yunhuai's every step, what should have been an ordinary scene was somehow transformed into a strange sense of ambiguity by his every step.

The sunlight was perfect, and the two shadows overlapped one after the other as they walked step by step, their shadows meeting and then separating, only to become inseparable again soon after.

Xie Yunhuai stopped in his tracks.

Qin Fu'an looked up, still wanting more: "Why aren't you leaving?"

He seemed to be having a lot of fun playing this little game of stepping.

Xie Yunhuai's fingers, hanging by his sides, were clenched into fists. The boy in front of him still had a playful and nonchalant smile in his eyes. Seeing that he was really angry, he stepped forward to appease him.

"You still haven't told me your name." Qin Fu'an traced his cool and refined features with her gaze.

He always habitually got very close, never giving Xie Yunhuai a chance to breathe.

Seemingly ingratiating and gentle, but actually relentlessly pressing forward, feigning innocence while smiling lightly, leaving no room for retreat.

Looking at the smiling face so close to him, Xie Yunhuai subconsciously tensed up and leaned back a little. After holding his breath and calming himself for a moment, he lowered his eyes to avoid the burning gaze and whispered his name.

"My name is... Xie Yunhuai."

With a hint of helplessness and desperation.

Or perhaps it's the frustration of being taken advantage of without any way out.

Perhaps he didn't know why a simple question had led him to provoke such a formidable person.

Just like he didn't understand why he felt so awkward and uncomfortable when he saw Qin Fu'an, a stranger, holding a morning glory that only a woman with a floral dress would grow.

"Xie Yunhuai."

The boy pronounced his name clearly, word by word.

Xie Yunhuai felt a sudden, inexplicable palpitation. He took a deep breath to calm his racing heart before looking up at the person in front of him.

What does he want to do? What does he want to say?

As Xie Yunhuai pondered the actions that the eccentric and audacious young man in front of him was about to take, he was unaware that he was adapting to and even getting used to the other's approach.

However, his guess was quickly proven wrong. The other party did not say anything more that made him inexplicably flustered, nor did they do anything else that could be misunderstood.

She simply raised her hand and gently rubbed the top of his head, as if coaxing a child.

"My name is Qin Fu'an, and I'm a new gardener in Baihua Town."

The boy's light green eyes were slightly narrowed, and the sunlight made his pupils even more clear and beautiful. Xie Yunhuai looked into his eyes and clearly saw his own reflection.

Qin Fu'an.

He remembered the name.

A name that seems out of place yet strangely fitting for a young man.

Qin Fu'an estimated the time; the yellow-grade seed in the flowerbed should have successfully sprouted.

So he took a step back and invited the young man, who was standing there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought: "Would you like to take a look at my flower garden?"

"No need," Xie Yunhuai refused without hesitation. "I have other things to do. Goodbye."

He left in a hurry, yet he still retained the aloof and frosty air he had when we first met.

Behind him, Qin Fu'an stared intently at his back, his eyes filled with unwavering intensity. Only the menacing black tentacles could discern the equally unbridled possessiveness emanating from Qin Fu'an.

[Stop looking! You'll turn into a statue waiting for your husband if you keep staring!]

[Host, I really don't want to talk about you, but look at how worthless you were after meeting Xiao Xie! You've really embarrassed our viewers!]

[Waaaaah, I won't say I'm jealous that the streamer has such a beautiful wife! Waaaaah, I'm sure I'll have a beautiful wife someday so we can be all lovey-dovey together!!]

[I ran into Xiao Xie again... This can't be a coincidence again, right? @Official, aren't you going to give us a reasonable explanation??]

[I smell a conspiracy, but what does that have to do with me? I'm just an innocent dog who happened to be passing by and got its dog food kicked over and then kicked by the streamer!]

[Next time you kiss Xiao Xie, could you please not secretly change the camera angle?! I want to see Xiao Xie looking dazed and confused after the kiss, not your eyes looking like you want to chew him up and swallow him whole!]

[Heh, what a scoundrel! One second he was calling the viewers his family, the next he's a heartbreaker. Hundreds of thousands of viewers were practically going crazy with their comments, but nothing could stop him from a single glance from Xiao Xie, huh?!]

[Who would have thought watching a weird live stream would turn into being bombarded with PDA? @Official, maybe you should move the streamer to the romance section, it's too sweet. Isn't this just another form of cyberbullying for me? QAQ...]

[The streamer must be feeling pretty threatened right now, right? After all, this little Xie looks like a grown-up version. The streamer used to fool little Xie with a few candies, chocolates, and toys; they probably won't be able to fool him this time, will they?]

As soon as this comment appeared, the audience began to shift their focus and started discussing whether Qin Fu'an's journey of supporting his wife had come to an end.

As it turns out, not only did Xie Yunhuai underestimate Qin Fu'an's shamelessness, but even the viewers in the live stream almost forgot how many outrageous and outrageous things their favorite streamer had done.

Just like now.

Qin Fu'an was not worried at all. Instead, relying on the obvious age difference in the game and his face that was too perfect no matter what, he shamelessly replied with his eyes crinkled: "That's perfect. The doctor just said a couple of days ago that I have a bad stomach and should eat more soft foods."

The audience: "!!!"

Shut up!

Such suggestive words! Such words that, upon closer examination, make one's face turn yellow! Such... such...

Ugh! Don't make being a kept man sound so righteous and vulgar!

But it just happens to match his face, which is so incredibly handsome... No matter how you look at it, it makes your heart pound, and you wish you could immediately wave a wad of cash around and lift him to the top of your heart.

So what if he's a kept man? So what if he says some suggestive things? If Xiao Xie can do it, so can we!!!

Qin Fu'an chuckled at the comments, shook his head and walked back. After changing his clothes at the cottage, he transformed from a bright and flamboyant young man into a gardener focused on planting flowers.

Waaaaa, Mom, this man is such a jerk! He made my heart flutter and then abandoned me to go and grow flowers and plants.

Amidst the frenzied shower of virtual gifts from the audience, Qin Fu'an knelt down in the flowerbed, holding the black stone close to the tender green buds that were gently sprouting from the soil.

Plant grade - Common, growth status - growing season (countdown 23:59:26), growth requirements - up to 8 hours of sunlight, water with 500ml of water three times a day, ? ? ?

Qin Fu'an stared at the line of question marks for a few seconds, guessing that it might be because various different situations would arise during the subsequent growth period, which would then correspond to different needs.

Based on the seeds provided by the town mayor that were previously tested, it's possible that planting those seeds will require players to provide more than just free sunlight and water.

Although Qin Fu'an is currently using the system's seed as a substitute, the requirements in the dungeons will only become more and more difficult in the future, and he will definitely not be able to escape them. He needs to think of ways to avoid them in advance.

In addition, Qin Fu'an also noticed that no corresponding plant name was given for this black stone after it was tested.

There are only plant grades, so perhaps the gardeners in this Hundred Flowers Town only care about the plant grades and don't really care what the plants are called, just like how the mayor used to call those precious flowers and plants "weeds".

In Baihua Town, plants are distinguished not by their names or families, but by their classification.

Qin Fu'an found a blank notebook and, just like in the first copy, wrote down his guesses on it.

In response to the audience's questions, he closed the pen cap and explained, "It is said that a bad pen is worse than a good memory. Many times, words are more honest than memories."

He gained the deepest understanding of this from Xie Yunhuai.

Each instance loses its previous memories, or each instance does not integrate the memories of other instances. With such obvious examples right in front of him, how could Qin Fu'an be so sure that he would not end up like Xie Yunhuai one day?

Or perhaps even worse, since he himself is the player. Each instance is different, and the challenges he faces are also different. In case he loses his memories or his memories are directly altered in any instance, Qin Fu'an needs to leave himself a trustworthy way out.

Therefore, he must purchase the desired space-type inventory item as soon as possible before the next game instance opens, in order to deceive the game and the audience and conceal the existence of his real personal space.

The pages, covered with sharp, bold handwriting, were closed. Qin Fu'an, who had been playing the game since then, finally felt hungry.

There were no ingredients in the kitchen of the cabin, so he needed to go out and find something edible in Hundred Flowers Town.

It could be flowers and plants, vegetables and fruits, or even snacks and bread from the supermarket...

The prerequisite is that he can walk smoothly in Hundred Flowers Town, avoid troubles like Huayi's, and return alive.

"So, some games that seem like heartwarming and peaceful farming games are actually deadly social adventures." Qin Fu'an shrugged and sighed, then went to water the lone wheat seedling in the flowerbed before packing up and embarking on his perilous adventure in the small town again.

Fortunately, the troublesome neighbor didn't seem to be home.

This way, he still had time to deal with the wilted morning glory that Xie Yunhuai had discarded, but which he had picked up and put in his pocket.

What is the best way to handle a morning glory flower?

Teacher Qin answers online: Of course, we should bury it.

Qin Fu'an didn't choose any other place. He used his spiritual power to dig a small hole in the soil opposite Hua Yi's flower bed. In front of the many strange plants in the flower bed, he buried the trumpet flower that had quietly withered after being touched by Xie Yunhuai.

It is said that burial brings peace.

It looks more like making an example of someone to scare others.
