For a moment, Shen Ao felt mixed emotions.
He didn't know whether he should be glad that Bai Ying didn't let him down, or feel sorry that the chances he gave Bai Ying to cheat on him were useless.
Ultimately, he was overthinking it.
Two fools together will only make them even more foolish.
After all, what good kid would stay up late at night and go to the beach to pick oysters?
He is so idle that he even gets jealous of a child.
Chen Ao couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Looking at Bai Ying and Xia Lele who were busy and happy at the beach, he felt a sense of melancholy as a father taking care of naughty children.
The weather in March is still a bit cold, so the food will not spoil too quickly. In addition, the oysters we picked are still alive and can survive for nearly a week as long as they are soaked in sea water. There is no need to worry about them spoiling before we finish eating them.
So, Bai Ying and Xia Lele stopped playing with it as soon as they picked it up.
After working for more than an hour, I finally filled a basket with the harvest, weighing dozens of kilograms.
Bai Ying and Xia Lele took a lot of effort to lift it up.
When they came to the wall, they were puzzled by the dog hole that only one person could fit through. They were so excited when they came here that they didn't consider that the basket could not pass through the dog hole.
"Sister Bai, you have a lot of ideas. Can you think of a way to get the basket in?" Xia Lele placed his hopes on Bai Ying.
Bai Ying thought for a moment and said, "How about you go back and find a hemp rope and throw it over the wall. Tie one end of the rope to the basket, and then we can work together to pull the basket in with the other end?"
Xia Lele was in a dilemma, "But Sister Bai, I don't have such a long rope."
“…”
Hearing this, the two fell silent.
Just as I was thinking about how to get the oysters I had picked with great difficulty to the farm, an arm suddenly stretched out from the top of the wall.
In the moonlight, the skin of the arms had a uniform wheat-colored luster, the muscles were clearly defined, and covered with blue veins, giving the appearance of being very strong.
Bai Ying subconsciously looked up along her arm and saw Shen Ao sitting on the wall.
"Hand me the basket." Shen Ao said.
Bai Ying was dumbfounded. "Boss, weren't you sleeping? Why are you here?"
Chen Ao lied seriously, "You stepped on me and woke me up."
“…”
Bai Ying felt embarrassed when she thought about the part of Chen Ao that she had stepped on.
How could the boss be so calm when he said this? Could it be that she had misjudged him, and that what she stepped on was not the boss's cough, but his leg?
Bai Ying remained silent, but Xia Lele became more energetic.
When he saw Shen Ao arrive, he didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about meeting someone else's wife in the middle of the night. Instead, he said with a playful smile, "Brother Shen, the basket is too heavy. I can't lift it. You can just come down and get it."
Shen Ao shook his head. “Crossing this wall would be like leaving the farm without permission. I can’t do that.”
Xia Lele advised, "Brother Shen, I was also sent to a farm for forced labor. I've been released many times and it's fine! Besides, there are only three of us here now, and no outsiders."
Shen Ao still refused, "You can break the rules, but I can't break them."
Seeing Chen Ao's unwavering determination, Xia Lele felt frustrated and could no longer persuade him. She could only ask Bai Ying for help, "Sister Bai, can we move together? I can't do it by myself."
"What... Ouch!"
Bai Ying's wandering thoughts were suddenly pulled back. Before she could think clearly, she had already taken action. She and Xia Lele worked together to lift the basket and handed it to Chen Ao.
With two of them and four hands, they still had a hard time.
Chen Ao only used one hand, and there was no change in his expression. He just slightly tensed the muscles of his arm, picked up the basket easily, and jumped down lightly.
There was only a slight muffled sound when it landed.
Xia Lele exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Shen is so strong! He doesn't even take such a heavy thing seriously."
Bai Ying was also slightly surprised. She even suspected that Chen Ao had martial arts skills. It was really amazing.
"Sister Bai, I'll go in first!"
Xia Lele half-crouched down and happily crawled through the dog hole back to the farm.
Bai Ying was about to follow Xia Lele in when she heard Shen Ao's voice from above again, "Give me your hand, I'll pull you up."
When she looked up, she saw Chen Ao coming back and jumping onto the wall again, looking at her with a serious expression.
Bai Ying was a little overwhelmed. "I, I'll just go over there. You must be very tired from carrying things just now."
"I'm not tired. Give me your hand."
Shen Ao repeated it again, looking very determined.
Seeing that Shen Ao insisted on doing so, Bai Ying didn't say anything more and handed her hand to Shen Ao.
The next moment, a feeling of floating in the air came over me.
When Bai Ying came to her senses, she found that she had been dragged to the top of the wall by Chen Ao. In order to prevent Bai Ying from falling down, Chen Ao also put his arms around Bai Ying's slender waist.
The two of them pressed their bodies against each other, and when they looked up, they subconsciously looked at each other.
For a moment, they seemed to have returned to the time before they got married, when they accidentally stumbled upon each other on the wall watching the sea.
They had only known each other for a month, but it felt like they had known each other for a long time...
Bai Ying and Shen Ao's eyes softened at the same time, and they couldn't help but move their faces closer to each other, about to kiss.
A depressing voice suddenly broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Xia Lele walked around the basket filled with oysters, grinning like a fool. "Hahaha! I actually picked up so much seafood! I haven't eaten any of this before, so I don't know if it tastes good."
“…”
Shen Ao's face immediately sank.
Why did he show leniency to Xia Lele? He should have kicked this guy into the sea.
"Ha ha."
Seeing Chen Ao being humiliated, Bai Ying's eyebrows curved and she couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Bai Ying's happy smile, Shen Ao's originally bad mood instantly improved, and he also smiled.
"careful."
Chen Ao put his arm around Bai Ying's waist and led her down the wall.
The three of them returned to their residence together.
Because he picked up a lot of oysters, Bai Ying was not stingy and planned to give half to Xia Lele, but Xia Lele refused. He ate them all by himself and couldn't eat too much, so he only took the whole bucket.
There were still a lot of oysters left, so Bai Ying simply poured them all into the empty large tank. In order to keep them, Bai Ying and Shen Ao went to the beach and fetched two buckets of sea water to pour into the tank.
It can be kept for at least a week, which is enough to eat during this period!
Chen Ao wondered, "Although this stuff is quite delicious, why did you pick up so much? There are only two of us, and we can't eat so much at best. The things in the sea belong to the public. It's okay for us to eat some privately, but we can't openly share them with the people on the farm."
"It's specially made for you to eat."
Bai Ying had only one answer to this.
The corner of Shen Ao's mouth twitched, "...Why do you have to make me eat this?"
Even if he wasn't picky about food, he would get tired of eating this stuff three times a day.
Bai Ying looked Chen Ao up and down, pausing for a second before saying with a wicked smile, "Of course it's to replenish your body! If your body is weak, you need to replenish it."
