66 The Gardener's Flowerbed (13)

Dog-male!

Qin Fu'an did not use the black stone to test the condition of the two seeds because he was certain that, based on the characteristics of the plants in Hundred Flowers Town, only one of the two seeds would eventually germinate and break through the soil.

“But this is not a long-term solution.” Xie Yunhuai also came over, looking down at the two seeds that had been reburied.

He frowned and said seriously, "The vitality contained in one seed can only make another seed sprout, but it cannot support the nutritional needs of its long growth period, let alone make it mature."

Therefore, Qin Fu'an's act of putting the two seeds together, although effective at first, was tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

"No rush." ​​Qin Fu'an said calmly, scattering fertilizer in his hand. "Since they want to plunder enough life force, they must have other ways besides taking my life."

He had a full seven days, which was plenty of time to slowly experiment with what other strange things these seeds might have besides being deadly.

Xie Yunhuai didn't quite understand.

But seeing Qin Fu'an's unhurried demeanor, he also calmed down.

If Qin Fu'an can't find any other way to make these plants grow, that's fine too.

I will find other ways to help him.

Xie Yunhuai was pondering to himself when Qin Fu'an grabbed his wrist and led him out of the flowerbed.

"I haven't really explored Hundred Flowers Town properly before, why don't you accompany me to walk around some more?" Qin Fu'an pulled the person in front of him, and with a slight lowering of his eyes, he could see into the young man's clean, clear, and slightly surprised light brown eyes.

Each time the distance closed, Xie Yunhuai would unconsciously feel his heart beating faster.

He looked away somewhat flusteredly, then nodded hesitantly: "...Okay."

Although he didn't know what else was worth visiting in Hundred Flowers Town, he seemed unable to refuse Qin Fu'an.

I don't want to refuse, and I can't refuse.

The pollutant, hated by everyone in Baihua Town, lowered its head slightly in front of Qin Fu'an, even its soft hair exuding a sense of obedience.

Qin Fu'an raised his hand to touch the top of his head, and then naturally grasped their intertwined hands, leading him slowly forward.

.

From a distance, Huayi could see the two people holding hands. Although it looked a little strange, she didn't think much of it.

After all, everyone in Baihua Town knows that Xie Yunhuai is a pollutant. How could a gardener have any strange feelings for a pollutant?

So her gaze lingered on Xie Yunhuai with disgust for only a moment before she frowned and looked at Qin Fu'an with a melancholy expression.

"Brother Fu'an~" Her words made Qin Fu'an's brow twitch slightly.

Xie Yunhuai frowned silently, gripped Qin Fu'an's fingers tightly with his other hand, and looked at Huayi with displeasure.

Hua Yi seemed oblivious to all of this, slightly bending over, her slender waist perfectly outlined, her affectionate eyes like hooks conveying a silent, seductive invitation.

She chuckled softly, gently resting her chin on her snow-white left hand. Against the backdrop of the eerie morning glories climbing all over the fence, she looked more like a bewitching flower blooming in hell.

"Didn't we agree that you would come to me after you passed the test?"

With a seductive voice, she spoke in a resentful tone, her brows furrowed slightly, as if questioning a heartless man: "You accepted the flowers I gave you that day, promising to give them back to me when the first one grew. But Fu'an, how could you forget me so easily?"

She seemed heartbroken, and even her words sounded like a sob, but if you looked closely, you could tell whether there was resentment in her eyes or a blatant murderous intent that she was determined to kill.

Qin Fu'an was not greatly affected by this performance of singing, recitation, acting, and fighting; on the contrary, Xie Yunhuai, who was being led by him, was the one most affected.

Qin Fu'an couldn't help but chuckle as he felt the increasing pressure on his hand.

Instead of answering Hua Yi's question in front of her, he turned his head and whispered in Xie Yunhuai's ear, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't make any promises with her. I don't grow flowers, I only grow grass."

Therefore, it's impossible for there to be a first flower given to the flower-adorned dress.

Meeting his gaze, Xie Yunhuai was taken aback, seemingly not expecting to hear his explanation so soon.

It was as if she was afraid he would misunderstand and get angry.

"...Hmm." Xie Yunhuai nodded gently, his fingers twitching slightly, as if he wanted to lift them up and rub his itchy ears.

The two completely ignored the woman in the flower dress.

The smile on Huayi's face faded, eventually turning into a layer of frost.

Nobody likes being ignored.

Floral clothes are even less acceptable.

A slight smile played on her lips, her voice carrying a hint of danger: "Brother Fu'an, there's no better time than today. My flowers are in full bloom, why don't we come to my flower garden and I'll accompany you to admire them properly? How about it?"

She reached out to try and hook her hand around Qin Fu'an's clothes, but just as she was about to touch him, Qin Fu'an took a step back, and her outstretched slender wrist was firmly grasped by another hand without hesitation.

Xie Yunhuai's eyes were full of coldness. Seeing Huayi's pained expression and her attempt to pull her hand back, he instead tightened his grip, as if he wanted to break her hand at the wrist.

"Keep your hands to yourself." He remained aloof and unapproachable, his voice devoid of any threat. He simply said coldly, "If you don't want to use it to grow flowers anymore, I can help you bury it in the soil beneath your feet."

At that time, her flower garden might have one more unremarkable flower.

Hua Yi's expression changed drastically.

Xie Yunhuai released his grip at the opportune moment.

It is clear that he truly showed no mercy and held nothing back; otherwise, there would not have been a glaring red mark on Huayi's fair and jade-like wrist.

Qin Fu'an stood a step behind Xie Yunhuai, his green eyes filled with laughter. Where Xie Yunhuai couldn't see, he tilted his head towards Huayi with a half-smile.

You want my life?

Unfortunately, I find my wife's lifestyle particularly appealing.

Hua Yi gritted her teeth and stared coldly at the two of them, saying resentfully, "The mayor is right, anyone who can harbor pollutants is definitely no good!"

Anyone with ears could hear how awful her insults were.

Qin Fu'an, however, did not take it to heart. He pulled Xie Yunhuai behind him and hid him there before approaching the fence and answering with a smile in his eyes, "I did not harbor any pollutants."

He chuckled and said, "That's not called taking him in, but rather eagerly inviting him to settle down in my flower garden."

"Don't you think that compared to all the mess in your flower garden, the one I'm growing is the real celestial flower?"

Fairy Flower is the highest-level plant among all plants in Hundred Flowers Town.

It is a plant that has never appeared in Baihua Town in the past hundred years and only exists in legends.

Qin Fu'an so easily bestowed this title upon Xie Yunhuai, without batting an eye, as if it were more of a boast than a question.

Hua Yi looked at him with a strange expression.

I almost thought I had misheard, otherwise how could I have detected such obvious boasting in such an extremely shameless statement?

Soon, the way she looked at Qin Fu'an was as if she were looking at a dead man.

"Since you're so stubborn, why don't you come and be fertilizer for my flowers in seven days?"

Her every move, every smile, still carried a captivating charm, yet she was no longer as affected as before. She glanced at Qin Fu'an with a cold smile, her chin slightly raised: "Since you are so pleasing to my eye, I will do my best to cultivate you into the most beautiful flower in my garden. I will also preserve your face so that everyone who passes by my garden can admire your flawless beauty."

She subconsciously raised her hand, her fingertips wanting to lightly touch Qin Fu'an's face, but the moment she raised her hand, she was silently warned by two different pairs of eyes with the same gaze, and the faint stinging on her wrist reminded her of the consequences of reaching out last time.

So Huayi sneered, leaving only the words "Take care of yourself," before turning around and swaying her graceful figure back to her own gardener's cottage.

"You accepted her flowers?" Qin Fu'an turned around and bumped into Xie Yunhuai's slightly furrowed brows.

He paused for a moment, then chuckled, leaned closer, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I took it. She said it was the freshest and most beautiful one among the morning glories on her fence."

Xie Yunhuai: "..."

He remembered.

He had seen that flower before.

This was also the opportunity for them to meet. After all, at the time, he thought Qin Fu'an had stolen the flower from Hua Yi. Then Qin Fu'an stepped forward and handed the flower to him.

At that moment, Qin Fu'an pressed closer and closer, and before kissing him, she pinned the flower to Xie Yunhuai's chest.

Thinking back now... Xie Yunhuai felt extremely awkward, as if on that day, there was also a pair of eyes silently watching their kiss through that flower.

Xie Yunhuai: "...So it was that one."

He awkwardly tried to change the subject, but his mind was filled with the image of that flower and being trapped in a corner that day, where it was plundered at will. This made his breathing slightly tight, and he subconsciously avoided Qin Fu'an's knowing and smiling gaze, backing away as if trying to escape.

But he forgot that their hands were still clasped together.

As soon as he moved, he pulled Qin Fu'an forward as well, and they bumped right into each other, with him reaching out to hug him tightly.

"Throwing herself into someone's arms?" Qin Fu'an raised an eyebrow, and with those four light words, he successfully saw a little cloud so shy that it wished it could wrap itself up in a dark cocoon with all its tentacles.

Xie Yunhuai was burning up. He felt extremely uncomfortable being held in someone's arms, but he dared not make any further moves. He could only stiffen his body, hold his breath, and close his eyes in a panic.

Perhaps the grass doesn't have a particularly good memory either.

For example, Xie Yunhuai forgot that the last time he closed his eyes like that, he wasn't released.

This time, it's even less likely.

And this time, their "eyes" were even more numerous and denser. In the entire flowerbed, all the flowers were witnessing this scene, including the flower-wearing flower hiding in the hut, gritting its teeth in resentment.

"You bastard!!" Hua Yi cursed under her breath, the red marks on her wrists already stained black, showing how hard Xie Yunhuai had used force.

However, none of this affected Qin Fu'an.

He only let go of the person in his arms when the person in his arms reached out and pushed him, his breath coming in shaky gasps.

Like a snake that has just tasted its prey, Xie Yunhuai's delicious appearance is reflected in its dark, cold vertical pupils. The venomous fangs hidden in its mouth are eager to strike and kill the prey in front of it, making him completely its own.

Before Xie Yunhuai's breathing calmed down, he leaned closer and placed a soft kiss on the young man's trembling eyelashes.

"Little Cloud, so good."
