Chapter 355 Lu Xici—A Familiar Feeling That Overwhelms Me?
When the group returned to the Chi family villa in a grand procession, the moon was already high in the sky.
After a long day, everyone was still starving and hadn't had dinner yet...
Wen Qing: "What would you all like to eat tonight?"
Shi's mother: "It's so late, you must be tired after a long day. Why don't you try my cooking?"
Mr. Shi: "You all stop making arrangements... I think we should just go to the cafeteria to eat?"
Lu Nange: "Just something to eat?"
Chi Yanzhou and the others nodded in unison, then, pulling along their elders, followed Lu Nange to the dining table...
With a gentle wave of her hand, Lu Nange conjured a steaming table of fragrant food on the large living room table...
The elders, who had been holding back their questions and curiosity all afternoon, finally found an opportunity to ask.
Aunt Gu: "Is this from Nan Nan's space?"
Gu Wan: "Yes, the ones Wen Qing and Xing You made before, Nan Nan keeps in her space so we can eat them when we don't have anywhere to cook!"
Mr. Gu: "You guys...are you all really...possessing dual abilities?"
Gu Qi replied without batting an eye: "That's right, Dad, we both have dual-elemental abilities! No doubt about it!"
These words immediately drew unanimous condemnation from the elders.
"You little brat! You think you can fool me? Do you think we're senile?"
"Exactly! You brat, who are you trying to protect yourself from? Huh? Would we harm our own child?"
"Tell me the truth! What exactly happened?!"
Lu Xici inexplicably felt a strong sense of familiarity with the emotions her elders were experiencing at that moment...
Seeing that the issue was becoming increasingly direct, Grandpa Chi picked up his chopsticks and tapped the rim of his bowl, making a crisp sound, thus displaying the authority of a patriarch.
"Eat! Everyone eat! What's with all the questions? The children have been working tirelessly all day, risking their lives, and they can't even get a hot meal?"
Grandpa Shi, standing nearby, chimed in slowly, "That's right... if someone else has a child with dual superpowers, the parents have to kowtow to all directions to thank their ancestors for their blessings."
"You keep asking and asking... Can't you wait until the children have eaten before you say anything?"
After being reprimanded by the two elders, Mr. Gu and his family became somewhat embarrassed: "Uncle Chi, Uncle Shi, that's not what I meant... I was just a little surprised..."
Grandpa Chi made the final decision: "The children know what they're doing, they'll handle it themselves! Sit down and eat!"
After the elders took their first bite, their pace gradually quickened...
[It's crab roe soup dumplings...]
[King crab, turbot, Wagyu beef...]
[I thought the children were sleeping rough outside... Waaah, the clown was me!]
After the meal, Aunt Gu, Mother He, and the others rushed to clear the dishes, saying, "You young people have been busy all day, go and rest," and cheerfully took over the task of washing the dishes and chopsticks.
Once the kitchen and dining room were spotless, the elders chatted and laughed as they gradually left to go home...
Grandpa Chi, with a smile, arranged a special "post-meal digestion" activity for Lu Nange and her group—plowing the soil!
Because Lu Beiye told Grandpa Chi about their plan to plant flowers and plants on the rooftop of the villa, Grandpa Chi suggested that they create a small vegetable garden in the courtyard on the first floor.
It received unanimous approval.
Two bright searchlights have been temporarily installed in the yard.
Hoes and shovels were distributed, and the young people started working with laughter and chatter, while Grandpa Chi provided guidance from the sidelines...
Chi Yanzhou moved closer to Lu Nange: "Nannan, Zhizhi... how many of those very special leaves are left?"
Lu Nange was bending down to pick up a small rake when she heard this. She paused, straightened up, and looked at him: "Brother Yan..."
Chi Yanzhou: "In everything, your safety must be the top priority! We absolutely cannot take any risks!"
Lu Nange: "But what Grandpa Chi and the others know is information that we ourselves released..."
Chi Yanzhou: "What are you thinking? That's my own grandfather. I wanted to ask for your opinion first, and then ask for his own opinion... Besides, as long as that leaf doesn't have any ill intentions towards you, it's actually good for your health, isn't it?"
Lu Nange gently tapped the wavy hair resting on her shoulder with her finger...
The slender stems and leaves trembled happily a few times, making extremely faint "chirping" sounds, as if they were being coquettish.
Then, it began to pluck at the thinnest, almost invisible, emerald green vine around its ankle.
As it moved, a few curled, newly sprouted leaves could be vaguely seen peeking out from the gaps in the tightly intertwined vines.
They are smaller than other leaves, yet they possess a translucent and lustrous texture, emitting an extremely faint yet pure and soft halo under the light, as if they condense the purest life energy.
Zhizhi chirped a few times.
Lu Nange: "A few more new patches have grown on its toes. Now... there are nine patches in total."
Chi Yanzhou: "Nan Nan, I..."
Lu Nange met Chi Yanzhou's gaze: "Brother Yan, I believe in Grandpa Chi, and I believe in you even more."
Just then, Grandpa Chi came over carrying a small shovel covered in fresh soil. Seeing the two whispering to each other, he deliberately put on a stern face and jokingly said in a loud voice.
"Hey! You two are slacking off here? Get back to work!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Grandpa, I have something I want to tell you..."
But Grandpa Chi waved the shovel in his hand: "Even the most important things can wait until we finish this job!"
"grandfather…"
"I know..." Grandpa Chi said with a hint of disgust, but still stuck the shovel into the ground and shouted to Lu Beiye.
"A-Ye! Keep an eye on the older brothers and sisters for Grandpa. No one is allowed to slack off! Grandpa is going to talk to your brother Yan for a bit and will be back in a little while!"
Lu Beiye: "Okay, Grandpa Chi!"
As soon as Grandpa Chi and Chi Yanzhou turned around and went into the house, the scene that had just been one of "love of labor" instantly changed.
The three Lu siblings, Wen Qing, Luo Xingyou, and Gu Wan, quickly retreated...
He Zhuo and Ji Xian exchanged a glance, and simultaneously raised their hands...
The land automatically and evenly rolled, softened, and leveled up at an astonishing speed, and the depth was uniform, even more perfect than that of the most skilled old farmer!
There's absolutely no need for manpower to dig it up one hoe at a time.
Immediately afterwards, Chi Yi stepped forward and manipulated the plant vines to plant the seeds into the soft soil.
Then, Gu Qi raised his hand, and the water vapor in the air condensed, turning into a fine and even mist that gently sprinkled onto the soil where the seeds had just been sown, completing the irrigation.
Chi glanced at the land and subconsciously asked, "Should I try to stimulate it again?"
A vibrant green vine pushed the pond a little further away, while simultaneously making a rapid "chirp chirp chirp" sound.
[Master, master! Let me do it! Let me do it!]
The next moment, a surge of energy spread out from the branches, gently covering the entire vegetable garden.
