Traveling Frog: I Cheat Just by Farming, So What?

Xu Xingchen, a big shot in interstellar scientific research, was thrown to another star system after an experiment went wrong.

Looking at the endless snow, Xu Xingchen's heart felt utterl...

Chapter 18: Frustrating

Xu Xingchen held his hands on his knees and coughed continuously.

She was too anxious, and suddenly a few breaths of cold air entered her lungs. Now she felt a burning sensation in her throat.

The original owner's health was too poor. On her planet, she could lift 30-pound dumbbells.

Zhang Xiaochun screamed miserably. Jun Haoyue came out of the bamboo house upon hearing the sound and saw Xu Xingchen throwing snow at Zhang Xiaochun. He couldn't see the whole picture from his angle.

He naturally didn't think that Xu Xingchen was bullying Zhang Xiaochun. Munduner was screaming not far away. Jun Haoyue signaled him to shush and walked towards Xu Xingchen.

Jun Haoyue did not stop when he passed by Zhang Xiaochun. He was more concerned about the person who was coughing.

When Xu Xingchen saw Jun Haoyue coming, he swallowed his saliva with a bit of shortness of breath, but when he opened his mouth, his mouth was blocked by a cough. He could only raise his hand to point at the scattered fire, and then pointed at Zhang Xiaochun.

Jun Haoyue had a cold face and patted her back with his big palm to help her calm down. He only glanced at the two places she pointed out with the corner of his eyes.

Zhang Xiaochun was still lying on the ground like a dead donkey, whimpering softly, but no one came to take care of her for a long time. She squinted her eyes and groaned as she sat up. When she looked up, she saw Jun Haoyue.

She suddenly felt as if she had suffered a great injustice. Tears filled her eyes and she complained to Jun Haoyue, "...Mr. Jun...I almost died, sob..." in an attempt to gain Jun Haoyue's concern.

However, Jun Haoyue ignored her. Zhang Xiaochun looked at him comforting Xu Xingchen with worry in his eyes, and became more and more suspicious.

"ah--"

Xu Xingchen calmed down a lot after being comforted by Jun Haoyue. Just as he was about to say something, Zhang Xiaochun's scream pierced the sky.

The two men looked at her and found that Zhang Xiaochun's back had been burned and tattered, and her entire back was exposed to the air. She squatted down with her arms folded, her face flushed and she shouted in panic, "Mr. Jun, don't look at me...! I can't get married anymore..." like a shy girl who was seen naked by a man.

At this time, Zhang Xiaochun's hair was frizzy, his face was black and white, and his cotton coat was burnt black. He looked no different from the homeless man at the village entrance.

This 'shy' look is really inappropriate now.

Xu Xingchen: “…”

It's an eyesore.

She rubbed her temples, took off her coat and handed it to Zhang Xiaochun, "You wear mine first. It's cold to be so exposed."

Zhang Xiaochun didn't take it, but just glanced at Jun Haoyue beside him from time to time with his small eyes.

Xu Xingchen stretched out his hand and was speechless for the second time.

It was the coldest time of the year, and the snow that had melted while putting out the fire was taking effect. It was madly absorbing the heat from Zhang Xiaochun's body, making her shiver with cold. However, she was still full of hope that Jun Haoyue would take off his clothes for her.

Jun Haoyue was quite "graceful" and did not look at Zhang Xiaochun, whose clothes were half exposed. He twisted his neck to look at the hills in the distance. He did not receive any hint from Zhang Xiaochun at all.

After being stabbed twice in the ribs, he glanced sideways. Xu Xingchen jutted out his chin towards Zhang Xiaochun, then his eyes slid back. He chose to ignore it.

Zhang Xiaochun kept staring at Jun Haoyue, taking in their entire interaction.

The flowers may be affectionate but the water is heartless. Jun Haoyue's indifference and disregard made her face burn with pain, and her heart was filled with shame and unbearableness.

"Little Widow Xu! It's all your fault! If you hadn't scared me, I wouldn't have fallen! My clothes wouldn't have been burned! And I wouldn't be like this, like this..." Shameful.

She was so angry that she stopped calling her sister.

Xu Xingchen took a deep breath and her face turned cold. She had never seen such a shameless person. He came to her place to eat and flirted with her "brother" in front of her. She didn't say anything, but Zhang Xiaochun turned the tables on her.

"I also want to ask you, why are you going into someone's backyard without permission?"

"I...! Didn't I say I'd help you put out the fire..."

Xu Xingchen sneered, "The fire was right in front of you, and you didn't even stop. If I hadn't called you, you would have just stepped over it. Do you really want to help me put out the fire?"

The word "xiaohuo" has a high tone and carries an indescribable meaning.

Zhang Xiaochun was choked and his wandering eyes unconsciously turned to Jun Haoyue.

Didn’t she just want to stay with the handsome Mr. Jun for a while longer? Didn’t Xu Xingchen help her just now?

Thinking of this, she looked at Xu Xingchen with an unfriendly look. Could it be that he was just fooling her? On the contrary, Xu Xiao Guafu and Jun Haoyue were obviously cousins, but they were flirting with each other. There was clearly something wrong!

During the confrontation and exchange of words between the two, Jun Haoyue also figured out the whole story. He had left the table long before he knew about this. Following the direction, it seemed that Zhang Xiaochun went straight to his house.

Jun Haoyue's gaze slowly moved to Zhang Xiaochun's face. The suspicion and jealousy on her face had not yet been restrained, and she was hurriedly trying to cover it up, but he still saw some of it.

His cold face became even more gloomy.

Zhang Xiaochun's heart pounded under his icy gaze. She felt a little timid and snatched the cotton coat from Xu Xingchen's hand and threw it on herself. She moved her lips for a long time before uttering, "I, I'm cold! I'm going home!"

After saying that, he hurried away, and when he passed by Xu Xingchen, he "accidentally" bumped into her.

Xu Xingchen rubbed his hurt arm, frowned, and turned around to look at Zhang Xiaochun's back as he left.

"Come into the house and put on some clothes, cousin." Jun Haoyue glanced at the direction where Zhang Xiaochun left without leaving a trace, said this lightly, and turned back to the bamboo house.

Xu Xingchen looked at the door and then at the bamboo house, feeling a little puzzled. There was no one around now, so Jun Haoyue's call of "cousin" was inexplicable.

Her trouser leg was tugged, and she looked down. Munduner opened his arms for a hug, "Hold, hold."

She bent down, picked up Mundun'er, and pinched his chubby little face. "Dun'er, let's get rich as soon as possible and leave this dilapidated planet early."

There are strange things everywhere, and there are a lot of them here.

Mundun'er blinked, nodded ignorantly, and repeated her words, "Planet, go home."

Xu Xingchen's eyes curved, and his forehead touched Mundun'er's. "Yes, go home. Mundun'er, bring back more good things when you go out to play."

After standing outside for a long time, Xu Xingchen felt cold without her cotton coat. She shivered and went back to the house.

A pair of embroidered cotton shoes stained with gray and black were left outside the door only after she entered the house.

The next day, at Zhang Xiaochun's home.

Zhang Xiaochun came back home in a dishevel last night. When he saw his parents, he didn't even say hello and went straight into the house. This made Zhang very anxious, and she knocked on her door early in the morning.

"Chun'er, tell me what's wrong with you."

"Why are you yelling so early in the morning? You spoiled my good daughter and she hangs out all day long." Zhang's crying woke up the old man Zhang in the next room.

Old Man Zhang was a farmer in the countryside. His mind was only on the farm and how to make sure his family had enough to eat. He had no time to care about his wife's thoughts. He just wanted his daughter to marry off quickly so that he could earn a few taels of silver and the family would not have to worry about food and clothing for a few years.
