Chapter 755 Haoyue Extra (17)

Because Tang Minghao himself didn't know where the idea came from.

When the topic of forming a team came up, his first instinct was to team up with Wen Yue.

She was his junior sister, and given Anjing's instructions, shouldn't it be his duty to take care of her?

Why is Song Huaiyuan getting involved at this time?

"If you don't mind me, why didn't you join my group? Or do you prefer her to me?!"

Gao Yingying seemed quite persistent, which only made Tang Minghao's head ache even more.

He unconsciously glanced at Wen Yue again, only to find that she was also looking at him. Their eyes met, and Wen Yue quickly looked away first.

He felt that her ears were a little red, but he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination.

Zhou Yang looked at Gao Yingying and felt a headache coming on. They had grown up together, and he couldn't understand why this girl was so fixated on Tang Minghao, like a wall that kept crashing into her without ever turning back.

Tang Minghao clearly wasn't interested in her; even a grown man like him could see that. Yet, she still stubbornly persisted, seemingly at odds with Tang Minghao or with herself.

He sighed and said, "You should say less. Minghao is right, let Yue tell us who she wants to be in a group with first."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Wen Yue.

Tang Minghao appeared indifferent, but in reality, he was keeping a close eye on Wen Yue's movements.

Wen Yue was not used to being watched by so many people, so she coughed lightly and said, "Since Yingying wants to be in a group with Brother Minghao, then I will be in a group with Brother Huaiyuan."

After she finished speaking, Tang Minghao immediately turned to look at her.

Noticing the other person's gaze, Wen Yue avoided eye contact and turned to Song Huaiyuan beside her: "Shall we go to the field to plant rice seedlings?"

Song Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'm fine with anything. It depends on what Xiao Yang and Grape think."

Zhao Pu immediately replied, "I'm fine with either."

Zhou Yang then said, "Okay, it's settled then. Sister Yue and Brother Huaiyuan will go to plant rice seedlings, Little Grape and I will go to catch fish, and Brother Minghao and Yingying will go to milk cows! Whichever group finishes first, we can go and help out the other group. Many hands make light work."

Everyone immediately agreed.

Tang Minghao was the only one who didn't say much.

It's not that I don't want to respond, but I have a sour feeling in my heart that I'm afraid it will overflow if I open my mouth.

My mind kept replaying the thought—she didn't choose him!

Why?

They were classmates, from the same company, so it's only natural that they should...

He suddenly stopped thinking.

Why would he think they should take it for granted?

They were just friends, colleagues, perhaps a little closer than that...

But surely it doesn't have to be that we're tied together all the time?

So... what is he dissatisfied with?

He had lived a carefree and unrestrained life in the first half of his life and rarely had such a conflicted moment. At this moment, he thought that since he couldn't figure it out, he should be more cautious. Instinctively, he was afraid that what he said or did might cause irreversible consequences.

Even though he didn't know what the consequences would be at that moment.

The director had initially thought he'd have to deal with them a bit, but seeing things going smoothly, he immediately beamed: "So, can we talk about the second task now?"

This time, Zhou Yang sighed and said, "Director Wu, just tell us all the other ways you want to torture us."

"Hey, how can you call this torture? Look at the villagers here, they do the same thing every day. This is called going deep into the community!"

After he finished speaking, he cleared his throat and said, "As for the second task, on your way back from town, our production team will set up a small obstacle for you. If you successfully complete the challenge, we can upgrade your 'equipment.' For example, your blankets can be replaced with thicker ones; your kettles can be replaced with electric ones; and since you still have to wash your clothes by hand, the production team can provide you with a washing machine if you successfully complete the challenge."

Everyone was immediately tempted.

You should know that what they find most difficult to get used to here is the "inconvenience". In the city, everything is basically electric, and there are very few times when they have to do everything themselves.

Therefore, when the director said that a washing machine could be provided, Zhou Yang was the first to shout: "Great! My socks will finally stop piling up!"

After saying that, he looked at the director: "Director Wu, so this obstacle is..."

"Hey, let's keep it a secret for now, you'll find out later! For now, let's give everyone bread and milk to fill their stomachs. If the mission is completed, there will be a lavish feast afterwards!"

Driven by the delicious food, everyone started working in their newly assigned groups.

Wen Yue and Song Huaiyuan's group arrived at the fields first.

Early April is the rice transplanting season, and when they arrived, villagers were already busy at work.

The production team had obviously made arrangements with them beforehand, and soon a villager led them to the seedlings and then taught them how to plant them.

Song Huaiyuan was naturally intelligent, and Wen Yue had also done farm work before, so she picked it up very quickly.

Two people work together, one handing the seedling and the other planting it, then switching roles after a while. This way, it's not too tiring and it increases efficiency.

The two exchanged blows with perfect teamwork, unaware that the live chat was already filled with "Ahhh!" comments.

"I knew Huaiyue and her partner were the perfect match! They're such a good-looking couple!"

"They're working so well together! What should we do? I feel like Huaiyuan is looking at Yuejie with doting eyes."

"We, the Bright Moon Party, are not happy with these words! What do you mean by that? Where do you place my precious son?!"

"Haoyue is fake. Anyone with eyes can see that it's Tang Minghao who's all in love with this one-sided thing, and he probably doesn't even understand what's going on yet. But look at Huaiyue, that's the real two-way love!"

Song Huaiyuan and Wen Yue did indeed work together quite well.

Although it was their first time doing this, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After the initial awkwardness passed, the two of them became faster and faster.

What was originally planned to be a two-hour task was actually finished in less than an hour and a half.

Bending over for a long time is quite tiring. Just as Wen Yue was about to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Song Huaiyuan handed her a wet wipe: "Wipe it off. This might be the only useful thing I brought here."

"Thank you." Wen Yue accepted it with a smile. Her cheeks were a little red from just finishing her work, and her eyes were like grapes, dark and bright.

Song Huaiyuan glanced at it and then looked away, a slight smile playing on his lips as he whispered, "Are you regretting not coming with Tang Minghao?"

Wen Yue: "!!"

One second she was relaxed, the next she was like a cat on fire: "Why are you bringing this up again! Everyone says I didn't..."
