63 The Gardener's Flowerbed (10)

It turns out there are loving dogs in the plant kingdom too.

"A pet cloud, no visitors allowed."

Qin Fu'an read the words aloud with satisfaction and then turned the sign to face the outside of the flower bed.

The sign was placed quite high, and it also blocked the view of those betting from the front, making the words "No Visitors Allowed" perfectly visible.

Xie Yunhuai, who also saw the sign, remained silent for a moment, ultimately resisting the urge to use his tendrils and leaves to cover half of the sign.

Pet clouds or something...

It was already getting dark when Qin Fu'an took out the black stone he had been carrying in his pocket and examined the half-unfurled clump of grass.

Plant grade - ? ? ?, Growth status - Mature, Pollution level - High risk (Pollution index: 99.87%), Growth requirements - Please remove the pollution as soon as possible!

Just as this line of text appeared, the town mayor, who hadn't been seen for half a day, was alerted and came out.

He suddenly appeared outside Qin Fu'an's flowerbed, frantically asking, "Young man, why did I receive an alarm? Did you plant pollutants in your flowerbed?!"

Pollutants?

Qin Fu'an turned to the side thoughtfully, revealing the small wooden sign behind him and the quiet plants behind it.

The village chief's gaze, searching through the flowerbeds, immediately focused on Xie Yunhuai.

The next second, he was horrified: "It's it?! How could you have planted it in the flowerbed? Pull it out and throw it away right now!!"

Qin Fu'an could sense the fear and rejection in his tone and expression.

This reminded him of Teng Yan's reaction when he heard Xie Yunhuai's name in the small supermarket at noon.

"Mayor, I don't understand." Qin Fu'an walked unhurriedly to the edge of the flower bed and asked, feigning curiosity, "Is there something wrong with this plant?"

"This is not a plant at all!!" The mayor's usually cheerful voice was now extremely sharp. He said sternly and urgently, "It's a pollutant that will harm our entire Hundred Flowers Town! Young man, listen to my advice, pull it out and throw it away immediately, otherwise you will never be able to grow any more plants in your flowerbed! You might even pay a terrible price with your life because of it!!"

"Pollutants?" Qin Fu'an asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Seeing that he had no idea of ​​the seriousness of the situation, the mayor's urgency turned into malice: "Young man, do you want to kill the entire Hundred Flowers Town?!"

"That's a bit unreasonable of you to say that." Qin Fu'an raised an eyebrow, too lazy to continue the act, and simply placed his hands on the fence, slowly retorting, "This morning you said that the gardeners of Baihua Town would cherish and treat every seed well, but tonight you started to change your mind. You've said both good and bad things, so how am I supposed to know which of your words are true and which are false?"

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his smile didn't reach his eyes. This unapproachable appearance actually suppressed much of the anger on the mayor's face.

"Since you're so stubborn, you'd better watch yourself. If you can't grow suitable plants within three days, you'll never be a member of Hundred Flowers Town!"

He made his rejection very clear.

Qin Fu'an didn't seem to care much. Watching the town mayor's angry departure, he lazily yawned.

"He's right." Xie Yunhuai's indifferent voice sounded from behind.

Qin Fu'an turned around, his dark tentacles curling back into a ball. The young man's tone was indifferent yet serious: "I can spread pollution. If you raise me, the other plants in the flowerbed will be affected."

It's almost as if they're saying, "If you raise me, you can't raise any other plants."

After listening, Qin Fu'an turned his head to look at the wheat seedling he had transplanted to the corner.

Then he stepped forward and probed with the black stone.

Plant grade - Common, growth status - Growing period (countdown 19:32:45), pollution level - Slight (pollution index 8%), growth requirements - remove pollution as soon as possible, up to 8 hours of sunlight, water with 500ml of clean water three times a day.

Compared to noon, the test results included an additional indicator of contamination level, and the countdown was extended by four hours.

These four hours were only because Xie Yunhuai's original body had been planted in the soil for less than an hour.

This also means that if Xie Yunhuai remains planted in this soil, the mayor's warning may become a reality in less than a day.

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Xie Yunhuai waited silently for Qin Fu'an's response.

Qin Fu'an, who was being quietly watched by him, quickly got up after inspecting the wheat seedling, walked out of the flower garden and returned to the gardener's hut.

He came out again in less than a minute.

Xie Yunhuai watched his movements quietly, wondering why he hadn't pulled himself out of the flowerbed and thrown him away yet.

Are they thinking about what a more tactful approach to take?

Xie Yunhuai couldn't fathom Qin Fu'an's true thoughts, but he had already accepted his fate.

So when Qin Fu'an placed a pile of tools and planks next to the flower bed, he couldn't help but say, "It's okay, I can survive without being in the flower bed."

He gave Qin Fu'an a way out, trying to make his concession a little more dignified so that he wouldn't be too embarrassed when he was kicked out.

But after he finished speaking, he was met with a surprised reply from the boy: "You want to abandon your husband and children??"

Xie Yunhuai: "?"

What……?

Even if it were just a plant, Xie Yunhuai's doubts were probably too obvious.

Qin Fu'an stopped what he was doing, sat down by the flower bed, and gently patted the tendrils that had secretly brushed against him. "You are already my plant. Don't even think about running away."

"...I didn't," Xie Yunhuai couldn't help but defend himself. "What he said is true, you saw it yourself, didn't you?"

He was puzzled by the boy's attitude.

Qin Fu'an seemed completely unconvinced, and scoffed, "Don't listen to the old man. You believe him just because he says so? I could say you're my wife. I support my own wife, what's it to him!"

It was rare for him to swear, so it was easy to hear the displeasure in Qin Fu'an's tone.

Xie Yunhuai was even more puzzled.

Why would you be unhappy because of what the mayor said?

Why are you still so stubborn when you've already seen the answer with your own eyes?

He thought the boy sitting in front of the flowerbed seemed a bit silly, as if he wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall.

Even though he himself was the obstacle, Xie Yunhuai still felt that Qin Fu'an's attitude was somewhat irrational.

“You should rip me out and throw me out,” he whispered.

It was like a seduction, or a test, just like the tentacle that was carefully resting on Qin Fu'an's wrist, neither gripping him too tightly nor letting go.

However, Qin Fu'an's answer was even more unexpected than his previous suggestion.

Qin Fu'an put down the hammer in his hand, turned the wooden trough that had been quickly formed over, and then picked up a hoe to dig some soil from the flower bed and fill it in.

“You’re right,” Qin Fu’an replied with a light hum. “I should pull out the plants that are affecting your growth and throw them out of the flowerbed.”

So, in front of Xie Yunhuai, he dug up the wheat seedlings that had just been transplanted and planted them in a long, narrow wooden trough filled with soil.

Xie Yunhuai: "..."

audience:"……"

Anyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but wonder what was going on with the wheat seedlings.

[Wheat Seedling: Why am I always the one who gets hurt?]

[Wheatgrass: I'm not human, but you really are a dog!]

[Wheat seedling: How dare they! Turns out there are lovebirds in the plant kingdom too!]

[Wheat Seedling: So this is the difference between love and not love QAQ.]

[Wheat Seedling: He called me "Sweetie" this morning, and by evening he'd turned on me and refused to acknowledge me anymore. Ugh, what a scumbag!!]

The comments section was full of people speaking up for the wheat seedlings. Qin Fu'an was amused by them. He reached out and picked up the wooden trough with the wheat seedlings and hung it on the fence of the flower bed. Then he turned around and looked at the young man who had transformed into human form at some point.

Unlike his complete physical form during the day, Xie Yunhuai's figure was more ethereal at this moment. The plant itself was still planted properly in the flowerbed, making him seem more like a wisp of a soul.

He looked at Qin Fu'an with a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.

They probably didn't know what to say.

However, he remained silent, but Qin Fu'an had something to say.

After brushing the sawdust and dirt off his hands, Qin Fu'an raised an eyebrow and asked him, "Now that no plants will disturb your growth, is there anything else I need to be careful about?"

Xie Yunhuai: "..."

He pursed his lips and shook his head silently.

"Would you sneak away while I'm sleeping, abandoning your husband and children?" Qin Fu'an didn't let him off easily.

Xie Yunhuai held his breath, but under Qin Fu'an's deep gaze, he still obediently shook his head.

"Yeah?"

Qin Fu'an seemed to be deep in thought.

I don't believe it.

He chuckled as he walked over, firmly grasped Xie Yunhuai's pale, ethereal wrist, and said in a deep voice, "Unless you sleep right next to me."

If he wakes up one morning and his wife is gone, who can he complain to?

Qin Fu'an is truly wicked. He wouldn't even let go of a wisp of a soul. He planted the person's physical body in his own flower garden, but that wasn't enough. He even dragged the person's soul to sleep with him.

"Taking an inch and wanting a mile" is not enough to describe his possessiveness towards Xie Yunhuai.

Even after the boy tucked him into the thick, soft quilt, Xie Yunhuai's muddled mind still couldn't quite understand why he didn't abandon him but instead transplanted the wheat seedling.

Having never been chosen so firmly and calmly before, Xie Yunhuai stared blankly at Qin Fu'an's face all night.

When he first had memories, he was just a seed.

He was also planted in the flowerbed by the gardeners of Baihua Town, and was tested by them with black stones and carefully cared for for a period of time.

But when it began to sprout and grow, the gardener cursed him and dug it up without mercy and threw it away.

Even though he was abandoned by the roadside, exposed to the wind and sun, Xie Yunhuai managed to survive thanks to the sunshine and rain.

Later, he rolled down into the roadside grass with the wind, and he began to take root.

But the next day, the plants around them began to wither on a large scale, they lost their vitality, and large areas dried up and fell over.

Soon, the gardeners of Hundred Flowers Town noticed something amiss. They began to examine him with black stones, and then, disgusted, they uprooted him and threw him to a more distant place.

This time, he failed to take root and grow again.

After all, they severed his roots before discarding him.

Xie Yunhuai survived because his branches and tendrils could draw nutrients for his growth.

Thus, out of sight of the gardeners in Baihua Town, Xie Yunhuai survived once again.

After living for an unknown period of time, he gradually gained the ability to briefly transform into human form.

Once he could maintain his human form for about an hour, he hid his true form and stepped into Hundred Flowers Town.

He also gave himself the name Xie Yunhuai.
