In the field, Gou Dan held an umbrella for Zhang Zhouyang, who had parked his bicycle by the field: "Hey buddy, our boss is coming soon, so don't do any work, leave it to me."
Erdai stood to the side, shielding his eyes from the glaring sunlight: "Besides, with such a large plot of land of your own, even if you worked all day, you still wouldn't be able to finish weeding."
Zhang Zhouyang simply looked up at the field, then picked up his hoe and continued working.
Gou Dan and Er Dai were truly exasperated. They had been following Zhang Zhouyang for the past few days, but the kid was stubborn, working silently without saying a word, and ungrateful even when their boss tried to back him up.
Good heavens, this is even harder to pursue than Shao Qin. At this moment, he suddenly hoped that Shao Qin would appear and stop his boss from persisting. This kid is simply impervious to reason!
Soon, Pan Yang and Da Niu arrived on their bicycles. Pan Yang parked his bicycle to the side, walked up to Zhang Zhouyang, snatched the hoe from him, threw it to Da Niu, and pulled Zhang Zhouyang toward the shady side of the field.
Da Niu could only watch helplessly as he worked with the hoe in his hand.
Dog Egg and Er Dai quickly scurried to the shade of the tree. It was so hot! They could have just harvested the weeds in a few days. Zhang's mother must be crazy to have Zhang Zhouyang come to weed. The thing is, this kid came without saying a word. One of them dares to talk and the other dares to do.
Seeing Zhang Zhouyang's face flushed red, Gou Dan immediately handed the water bottle from the bicycle basket to Pan Yang, who twisted open the bottle and shoved it directly into Zhang Zhouyang's hand.
Zhang Zhouyang didn't stand on ceremony, took a few sips, and handed the drink back to Pan Yang, saying, "Thank you." Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Oh, you finally spoke." Gou Dan exclaimed, "Speaking of which, it would be much better if you followed our boss. Wang Cuihua definitely wouldn't dare to say anything then." Wang Cuihua was Zhang Mu's real name.
Zhang Zhouyang shook his head, hugged his knees, and looked at Da Niu weeding in the field: "The weeds will never be completely removed."
Upon hearing this, Er Dai looked at him and asked, "If you know this, why are you still weeding?"
He was met with silence, which left the two of them utterly exhausted.
"Tell Da Niu to stop working and go to town for dinner," Pan Yang said, standing up. Then he grabbed Zhang Zhouyang and threw him onto the back of his bicycle.
Before Zhang Zhouyang could react, Pan Yang started riding his bicycle.
The road beside the fields was uneven and bumpy. Zhang Zhouyang reflexively grabbed Huan Yang's clothes, and two black handprints instantly appeared on Huan Yang's clothes. He was a little at a loss.
"It's okay, wrap your arms around my waist, don't fall." Pan Yang's cool voice reached his ears.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhouyang felt his heart race. He didn't know if it was from the young man's words or the bumpy road, but he managed to grip only the edge of the bicycle seat to prevent himself from falling off.
Half an hour later, Pan Yang and his group arrived in town.
"What do you want to eat?" Pan Yang stopped his bicycle and looked at the small restaurants and stalls along the street.
"I want to go back." Zhang Zhouyang got out of the car. There were two of his handprints on Pan Yang's body. He was a little embarrassed. "Take off your clothes later and I'll wash them for you."
"No need, do you want noodles?" Pan Yang ignored his initial words.
Zhang Zhouyang shook his head: "I'm not eating, I have to go back."
When Dog Egg and the others arrived and heard this, they said, "Why go back? We're already here. Boss, I want to eat vegetable buns!"
Pan Yang nodded and tossed him a dollar. Gou Dan quickly waved his hand, "No need, five cents is enough."
"Ahem." Erdai coughed twice, and Gou Dan glanced at Pan Yang and quickly took the money: "Thank you, boss. Let's go buy some steamed buns first."
Zhang Zhouyang looked at the group, hesitated for a moment, and was eventually pulled away by Pan Yang to a small restaurant.
The waiter immediately greeted Bai Yang, "Young Master Bai, it's been a long time since you've been to our shop. What would you like to eat?"
"Sweet and sour fish, two bowls of rice, tomatoes, and shredded potatoes," Pan Yang announced the names of several dishes.
"Okay, you wait here."
Pan Yang took out a clean little handkerchief and tossed it to Zhang Zhouyang: "Wipe yourself, we'll eat later."
Zhang Zhouyang took the handkerchief somewhat embarrassedly, wiped it, and saw two black streaks on the clean white handkerchief: "I'll wash it for you." He then quickly folded it and carefully put it in his pocket.
Pan Yang didn't stop him, staring at his long braid for a long time: "Aren't you hot?"
"It's not hot." Zhang Zhouyang quickly shook his head, and after noticing Pan Yang's gaze, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Pan Yang.
"If you want to cut your hair, just cut it off. With me here, no one will dare to say anything to you."
"No need," Zhang Zhouyang shook his head again.
Seeing this, Pan Yang stopped talking. The hidden character's personality was really frustrating.
After the two finished their meal, Gou Dan and the others returned, joking around.
Zhang Zhouyang stood there, nervously fidgeting with the hem of his clothes: "I should go back."
“Okay.” Pan Yang nodded, and Zhang Zhouyang breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Pan Yang pulled him into another shop.
Dog Egg looked at the two of them and chuckled, "Hey boss, Da Niu and Er Dai suddenly remembered we have something to do, so we'll be going now." With that, he pulled the two of them away.
Da Niu looked a little confused: "Brother, I don't remember anything happening."
"Are you stupid?!" Gou Dan said, exasperated.
The shop was a clothing store. When the proprietress saw Pan Yang pulling Zhang Zhouyang in, she immediately greeted them with a smile: "Are you looking to buy this girl some clothes?"
The proprietress then took out a pink jacket: "This one is the most popular dress among girls lately. Look, it even has lotus flowers on it."
"Do you want men's clothes or women's clothes?" Pan Yang asked, looking at him.
"Huh?" Zhang Zhouyang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Pan Yang would think of buying him clothes, let alone ask him whether he wanted men's or women's clothing, and his expression was so calm, as if it was the most normal thing for him to do.
"I don't need it," Zhang Zhouyang quickly replied, realizing what was happening.
Pan Yang seemed not to hear what he said: "One piece of clothing for both men and women, custom-made." Hidden characters are so troublesome, why are they so shy?
The proprietress was just shocked that the young girl was actually a young man, but the next second she was amused by Pan Yang's words. Now she was going to make money: "Customization is a bit troublesome. How about you finish it within half a month?"
Pan Yang nodded: "No problem." After taking the measurements, Zhang Zhouyang and Pan Yang walked out of the store.
"Can I go back now?" Zhang Zhouyang asked softly.
"No rush." Seeing a roadside stall, Pan Yang walked over, picked out a few hair clips and hair ties, and tossed a dollar to the stall owner like a god of wealth.
Then they stuffed them all into Zhang Zhouyang's hands.
"You." Zhang Zhouyang looked at the red and green hair ties and the butterfly-shaped hair clips in his hand, his emotions hard to describe, and he lowered his eyes.
"Don't you think I'm weird?" At that moment, he felt his heart was in his throat. You know, no one had ever thought he was normal since he was a child.
