"Aren't you afraid?" Sun Sainan asked.
Lu Nanfang gave a wry smile. "What can I do if I'm scared? I'm just standing in the way of those two. If I want something good to eat, I'll have to do it myself."
Although Yuan Ruoxi said she wanted to get along well with me, it was obvious that she had taken a liking to Tong Xianbao and didn't want me to continue getting entangled with him.
“You really should think about your relationship. It’s too abnormal, not good! You’re so beautiful and young, you can totally dump this scumbag and live a good life on your own,” Sun Sainan advised.
But Lu Nanfang shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to, but I have my reasons."
Sun Sainan remained silent. Everyone has their own choices, and his reminder was enough; he couldn't interfere with anything else. They should each be responsible for their own lives.
However, remembering the question from earlier, Sun Sainan said rather uncooperatively, "Actually, if you're scared, you can just control your appetite, then you won't have to come to the mountains."
Lu Nanfang didn't expect that she couldn't get past the question. She gave a dry laugh and said, "You can tell that Captain Sun has never had a girlfriend."
We girls can sometimes overcome our fears just to eat.
Besides, I haven't eaten fruit for months. How could I leave the fruit unpicked and let others benefit from it?
And haven't you noticed? There's almost no one here. Everyone's busy harvesting wheat and rice; they don't have time to come up the mountain to pick wild peaches.
"If it weren't for this exact time, I wouldn't have dared to come here alone."
"But you still shared the peaches with Tong Xianbao and Yuan Ruoxi? I even ate two!" Sun Sainan questioned.
Lu Nanfang sighed, "It's my fault for being careless when I was eating, and they found out. What can I say? That I deliberately hid it to keep it from them? Of course not!"
I had to tell them the truth and where they picked them. Then the two of them got the idea, and look, they dragged you into it too.
Seeing that she could justify her words, Sun Sainan didn't dwell on whether they were true or false. The priority now was to find the "missing person," and as for the rest, they could deal with it when they got back.
Lu Nanfang followed Sun Sainan, watching him miss the right direction, and smiled, extremely satisfied with the result.
Not far away, Yuan Ruoxi looked at the vast wheat field and excitedly hugged Tong Xianbao.
"My God! There's so much wheat here! We're going to be rich!" Yuan Ruoxi said with a smile.
"Yes, if we collect these, we can get at least tens of thousands of kilograms."
Tong Xianbao planted a big kiss on Yuan Ruoxi's face.
Just as he was about to kiss her lips again, Yuan Ruoxi pushed him away, saying, "Alright, let's hurry up and harvest the wheat. It's getting late, and Sun Sainan might come looking for us at any time."
Tong Xianbao nodded, released her, but still said regretfully, "I really wanted to have a romantic and insightful conversation with you here! I believe that in this field of harvest, we will also have a bountiful harvest."
Yuan Ruoxi kissed the corner of his lips and whispered in his ear, "There will be a chance! Wait, wait until we finish harvesting, or until it gets dark."
Tong Xianbao's eyes gleamed as he took the sickle Yuan Ruoxi handed him and bent down to harvest the wheat.
Yuan Ruoxi also took a sickle and started cutting beside him.
However, he wasn't as fast as him and had to run around to collect the wheat that the two of them had cut into his spatial storage.
Yuan Ruoxi can also use her consciousness in the space. Every time she puts wheat in, she uses her consciousness to separate the wheat ears from the wheat straw.
Disliking that straw takes up space, they threw it out of the room.
But Tong Xianbao said, "We don't know if they'll be useful or not. You can keep them for now. Even if you're going to throw them away, you can't leave them here. When we get back, we can just throw them in any ditch. That will be considered destroying evidence of the crime."
Yuan Ruoxi thought it made sense, so she put the straw back in and didn't throw it out again.
However, she still used her consciousness to divide the wheat she had stored in her space into two parts, thinking that when it was time to throw away the straw, she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of sorting it out anymore.
The two of them continued cutting and harvesting wheat without fear of the scorching sun or the aches and pains in their bodies. The thought of soon having so much food filled them with immense joy.
Logically speaking, neither of them lacks anything, so why should they be so stingy over such a small thing?
But in reality, it's really worth it!
Tong Xianbao's father was dismissed from his official post after his superiors discovered that he had used connections to help Tong Xianbao.
Of course, there must be other reasons, but they are not out in the open.
Tong Xianbao only learned of this news after communication was restored in Suzhou and he contacted his family.
Because his family was struggling, neither Tong's mother nor his uncle and aunt wanted him to go back.
While shocked, Tong Xianbao vaguely understood that they were protecting him. He told them to take care of themselves and also made up his mind to stick close to Yuan Ruoxi, who was like a golden thigh.
Therefore, he really doesn't have much reason to be arrogant now, as he relies on Yuan Ruoxi for support, so of course he has to do his best to plan for the two of them.
As for Yuan, she was naturally terrified of hunger before, so she hoarded food whenever she had the chance.
Furthermore, the loss of several thousand kilograms of grain as compensation had previously caused her considerable distress, and she now desperately wanted to replenish her supplies with some ill-gotten gains to alleviate her anxiety.
So the two of them really had a great tacit understanding, like mice that had fallen into a rice jar, stealing non-stop.
Moreover, they've gotten used to it by frequently sneaking a handful or two from the wheat field near their temporary residence.
Even though their backs ached, they never considered giving up. They were just afraid that Sun Sainan would come and stop their inappropriate behavior.
They cut for more than an hour, until they were so tired they could no longer lift their arms. They threw down their sickles and lay on the ground, panting heavily.
Both of them were drenched in sweat and had no time for romantic thoughts. They just stared at the vast wheat field, feeling somewhat resentful.
"Nanfang is so lucky. I never thought that she could find such a great place just by picking peaches."
There's nobody here, no security cameras, and it's deep in the mountains. It's a real bargain for us to come here and pick peaches.
Yuan Ruoxi lay on the ground, reached out and grabbed a handful of wheat ears. She twisted them open with her fingers, looking at the plump, golden grains inside, and said...
Tong Xianbao gave a weak "hmm," turned his head to Yuan Ruoxi and smiled, then reached out and hugged her. "No matter how lucky she is, isn't she still serving you? Without your space, even if we knew there were large fields of wheat here, we wouldn't be able to bring them back!"
"Hehe, you're right! All things considered, I'm the lucky one! Not only do I keep the man she loves by my side, but I also make a fortune using her information. From now on, I'll never have to worry about food or drink, and I'll live a carefree life!"
