Upon hearing this, Shen Shuyi quickly took two steps back and followed closely behind him, watching Lu Huai using an axe to clear the way, which looked quite realistic.
She had been afraid of snakes since she was a child, and she stared at the road for fear of stepping on anything.
Lu Huai saw how scared she was, and his heart softened, "This is not a deep forest, there are rarely snakes."
Shen Shuyi patted his chest, “Oh.”
Now there are only two of them in a group, and the other educated youth are not willing to team up with someone like Lu Huai who has a bad background.
With Lu Huai leading the way, Shen Shuyi walked much more easily, and even his arms were not scratched by any branches.
After about an hour, everyone finally arrived at the mountainous area to be reclaimed. The mountainous area was vast, and if they reclaimed the land, they would have more food next year. Team Leader Yang quickly divided the area and asked everyone to roll up their sleeves and work hard.
Chen Shuyi and Lu Huai were assigned to the edge, where there were a lot of bushes and it was not easy to work there, so it was a bit of a bully.
Lu Huai said nothing. He bent down and pulled out the bushes by the roots with a hoe. It looked quite easy. He was young and strong, with endless energy.
Shen Shuyi took her farm tools, bent down to dig the tree, but she couldn't dig it even with all her might.
Without the support of the system's powerful pills, her combat power is really weak.
"You go sit aside."
When Shen Shuyi heard Lu Huai's voice, he looked up at him and asked with a smile in his eyes, "Lu Huai, can you help me with the work?"
"Just thank you for saving grandma." His tone was calm.
But Shen Shuyi muttered, “You say one thing and mean another.”
Then he said, "Let me drag the tree you dug aside."
Lu Huai worked very efficiently, waving his strong wheat-colored arms, full of male hormones.
A colorful picture suddenly appeared in Shen Shuyi's mind, with blue veins on his arms hugging her legs...
She quickly shook her head, trying to shake off those harmonious images, but saw Lu Huai wipe the sweat off his face and subconsciously reached to the hem of his vest, trying to take off his shirt.
Halfway through the roll, Shen Shuyi saw a strong abdominal muscle...
At this moment, Lu Huai paused and put down his clothes.
Lu Huai caught a glimpse of her fixed gaze from the corner of his eye, his ears felt hot, and he quickly bent down to work.
Shen Shuyi looked at the man who was working hard, and she noticed that Lu Huai's face seemed to be red.
He is too innocent...
Although Shen Shuyi wore gloves, his hands would feel hot and painful after working for a long time.
While taking a break to drink water, she took off her gloves and breathed into her hands, "Hiss, it hurts..."
Lu Huai sat next to her, a short distance away, but he could still see her red hands and her aggrieved look.
Too delicate.
He said subconsciously, "You shouldn't come to the country."
Shen Shuyi frowned slightly and met his eyes.
"If I didn't go to the countryside, my parents would force me to marry a violent man who beat his partner to death."
Lu Huai's heart suddenly tightened. Listening to her calmly telling about what happened in the city, veins on his forehead throbbed and his heart ached.
Shen Shuyi smiled, “Fortunately, everything is over.”
Lu Huai subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Shuyi lowering her head slightly with tears in the corners of her eyes.
He stared at her for a moment, her fragility making his heart tremble.
Lu Huai immediately lowered his eyes, but Shen Shuyi still caught his brief moment of absent-mindedness.
After the rest, Lu Huai went crazy for some reason and worked even harder. He also didn't allow Shen Shuyi to move the tree and asked her to sit down and rest. If anyone looked over, she would be asked to take the axe and pretend to cut firewood.
Shen Shuyi's hands were indeed burning with pain, but he didn't care about other people's looks and just slacked off, watching Lu Huai work from time to time.
Look at his beautiful and powerful wheat-colored arms. When he exerts force, his muscles are full of strength, and when he is pulled up, his strong abdominal muscles are revealed...
Lu Huai suddenly noticed that Shen Shuyi was looking at him in a trance. He didn't dare to take off his shirt anymore, so he just coughed lightly to interrupt her attention.
"Shen Zhiqing, help me get a towel."
Shen Shuyi noticed the sweat on his body, responded and took the towel to him, “You can just call me Shen Shuyi.”
"If you consider me a friend, you can also call me Shuyi."
Lu Huai took the towel and wiped the sweat off his face. "Go back and sit down."
Shen Shuyi: “…” Anyway, he just won’t listen to any advice and has double standards!
She had no choice but to go back and take her axe to cut firewood. The sun was gradually setting, her waist and back were weak and aching. Finally, she could not hold on any longer and sat on the ground to rest. She took out a green orange from the space and ate it.
The sour and sweet oranges are really thirst-quenching. Lu Huai picked these when he went hunting in the mountains last time.
She ate two, peeled another, stood up and walked towards Lu Huai, putting the orange in front of him, "Lu Huai, eat an orange, it will quench your thirst."
Lu Huai wanted to refuse, but when he saw her slightly tilted face and eyes that were bright as if they could speak, he stretched out his hand as if possessed.
But Shen Shuyi withdrew his hand, frowned and said: “Your hands are dirty, I will break it for you to eat.”
As she spoke, she broke off a few orange slices and held them under Lu Huai's lips.
Lu Huai’s eyes never left Shen Shuyi, he silently lowered his head and bit the orange into his mouth.
When Shen Shuyi felt his deep eyes, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She quickly stuffed an orange into Lu Huai's mouth.
At the last moment, her fingers accidentally touched his thin lips.
So soft...
He looked fierce and cold, but his lips were surprisingly soft.
Shen Shuyi's ears turned red and he quickly turned around and ran away.
Lu Huai had never felt his heart almost jumping out of his chest as deeply as he did now.
