Although the weather was hot, Huo Jue still carried water bucket by bucket.
Wen Xia Nuan, who was standing nearby, watched the wheat seeds being soaked by water and then said, "There's enough water."
Wen Xia Nuan's voice came, Huo Jue put down the wooden barrel and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The vest on his body had long been soaked with sweat. Wen Xia Nuan looked at his good figure which was completely exposed, and her face turned red for some reason.
"Huo, Huo Jue, do you want to wipe the sweat off your body?"
Huo Jue lowered his head and glanced at his upper body, then swallowed the rest of his words.
Wen Xia Nuan took his appearance into her eyes and urged him, "Why don't you go back first?"
Huo Jue looked at her worriedly. Wen Xia Nuan probably knew what he was worried about, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "I'm fine."
"Brother Jue, I can also accompany Wen Zhiqing."
Huo Jue thought for a moment after hearing Chen Yanfang's words and said, "I'll take off my shirt and stay here with you."
Wen Xia Nuan thought of his figure and subconsciously refused: "No!"
Huo Jue paused and looked at Wen Xia Nuan. Wen Xia Nuan also realized that her tone was too harsh. She stammered and couldn't speak. Huo Jue saw her shy look and his eyebrows curved with smile.
"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes."
Wen Xia Nuan originally thought that he would come to cause trouble for her, but she didn't expect that Huo Jue was already planning to leave.
She felt relieved, but also inexplicably annoyed.
Why was I so resistant before?
Huo Jue has nothing to do with me!
"Wen Zhiqing, your face is so red now."
Wen Xia Nuan's gaze fell on Chen Yanfang. She covered her cheeks and stammered, "I, I'm hot!"
Chen Yanfang looked at her suspiciously for a few times, but Wen Xia Nuan had already turned her back to her and was looking at the wheat seeds in front of her.
"Wen Zhiqing, are you sure you can grow anything on this land?"
Chen Yanfang squatted on the ridge of the field. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on her: "Why do you ask that?"
Chen Yanfang thought for a moment, then changed her tone. "It's like this, Wen Zhiqing. We haven't been able to grow anything on this land in previous years. I wanted to make a bet with you. What if something goes wrong?"
Wen Xia Nuan suddenly realized something. Seeing Chen Yanfang's caring eyes, she curled the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I have received your concern. Let's just take care of this."
Chen Yanfang looked at Wen Xia Nuan's confident expression, and envy filled her eyes: "Wen Zhiqing, sometimes I really envy you."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at her with a smile: "What do you envy me for?"
Chen Yanfang looked at her in a trance. She envied Wen Xianuan's enthusiasm, sunshine, generosity and knowledge.
To be honest, it seems that no one in their village can compare to Wen Xia Nuan.
Chen Yanfang looked at her, and Wen Xia Nuan also waited patiently for her answer.
"You are beautiful, knowledgeable, and know a lot of things that I can't say. Even Brother Jue has a different feeling about you."
She smiled dejectedly. Wen Xia Nuan looked at her and said, "Actually, to be honest, I should be envious of those who guessed correctly."
Chen Yanfang was stunned for a moment, and Wen Xia Nuan had already looked over at her: "Chen Yanfang, you don't know that you actually have many advantages."
Wen Xia Nuan thought for a moment before saying, "You are so generous and dignified, and you dare to take responsibility for your actions. Don't you think you are actually very good?"
Chen Yanfang smiled sheepishly, and Wen Xia Nuan held her hand: "You don't have to feel inferior at all. You are very good in my eyes."
Chen Yanfang's gaze fell on the hand that was holding hers. The back of Wen Xia Nuan's hand was white, and her whole body was soft and fragrant. In contrast, her own hands had always been rough.
But Wen Xia Nuan still said that she was fine at this moment, and she always felt that Wen Xia Nuan was coaxing her.
"I can't compare to you, and Brother Jue still likes you so much."
She retracted her hand, and Wen Xia Nuan burst out laughing: "Chen Yanfang, what you said now is not right."
Chen Yanfang looked at him in confusion, and Wen Xia Nuan added, "Our goodness shouldn't be judged by whether a man likes us or not. Even if Huo Jue doesn't like me, does that mean I'm not an excellent woman? On the contrary, you're the same way."
"If the person you like doesn't like you, does that mean you're not a good person?"
Wen Xia Nuan talked so proudly that Chen Yanfang also felt an unprecedented sense of excitement.
She pursed her lips, her heart beating violently. At this moment, it seemed as if something clicked in her mind.
"Wen Zhiqing, I understand everything you said."
Chen Yanfang's eyes sparkled, and Wen Xia Nuan also smiled: "I'm glad you understand."
Water dripped onto the ground, and Chen Yanfang's eyes fell on the wheat seeds: "Wen Zhiqing, are these wheat seeds almost ready?"
Wen Xia Nuan glanced at the pile of wheat seeds, and Chen Yanfang was also staring at her expectantly.
Wen Xia Nuan also responded: "Almost."
“So when do we plant?”
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on the field. She stood up and said, "Now."
The seeds were planted in the ground. Wen Xia Nuan returned to the Huo family to wash her hands, but she didn't expect to meet Huo Jue's uncle again when pouring out the dirty water.
Huo Zhiguo also saw Wen Xia Nuan. He stared at her with a half-smile on his face, and the provocation in his eyes was clearly visible.
"Wen Zhiqing, please move aside."
Wen Xia Nuan held the washbasin in her hands and stared at Huo Zhiguo with a forced smile: "So it's Uncle Huo. I didn't even see clearly when I was pouring the water. I thought it was that blind bastard who came to cause trouble for me!"
Huo Zhiguo had something important to discuss with the old lady, but after hearing what Wen Xia Nuan said, he did not choose to make trouble.
"Wen Zhiqing, do you think you can see clearly now? Can you please get out of the way now?"
Huo Zhiguo's expression was indifferent. Wen Zhiqing held the washbasin in his hand, looked at Huo Zhiguo, and said with a smile: "Uncle Huo, if you ask me, please move aside a little so that it will be more convenient for me to pour the water."
Before Huo Zhiguo could finish his words, Wen Xia Nuan came to the door with a basin in her hand. He couldn't dodge in time and some water stains got on his body.
"Wen Zhiqing, you have absolutely no sense of propriety!"
Huo Zhiguo glanced at Wen Xia Nuan, his eyes full of annoyance, but Wen Xia Nuan looked innocent: "I told you a long time ago, I'm going to pour some water and ask you to go away!"
She stared at Huo Zhiguo with a smile: "Uncle, you shouldn't be angry with me."
Huo Zhiguo was extremely angry, but in the end he glared at Wen Xia Nuan in frustration, then walked straight into the yard and went to Mrs. Huo's room.
Wen Xia Nuan looked at the scene in front of her and clearly realized that something was wrong.
