As Zhu Xiaojun's thoughts faded, the wheat ears in the field, as if alive, automatically detached from the branches and flew into a thatched hut in a line. After the wheat grains were harvested, the wheat stalks in the field transformed into tiny specks of golden light and vanished into the air.
Zhu Xiaojun was dumbfounded. This was the first time he had seen such an "automated" harvesting operation. When Zhu Xiangyang was in trouble, Zhu Xiaojun had lived with him in the countryside for a few years and had done plenty of farm work like harvesting wheat. He'd always been exhausted.
Although he didn't understand what was happening in front of him, Zhu Xiaojun didn't bother to dwell on it.
What Zhu Xiaojun is worried about now is that although he has found Liu Meiling, he doesn't know how to get out! He should wake Liu Meiling up first and ask her what's going on!
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaojun stepped forward.
That's not right! The Liu Meiling he'd seen before had a round face and a plump figure, weighing at least 110 pounds. The girl before him was only about 80% similar to Liu Meiling, with less flesh on her cheeks and a thinner figure. She looked like she could only weigh 90 pounds at most. The green floral dress looked a little empty on her.
Liu Meiling was drowsy when she felt someone pushing her shoulder. A familiar voice rang in her ears: "Liu Meiling, Liu Meiling."
"Who? Who's calling me?" Liu Meiling answered before she even opened her eyes. She had been here for a long time, but couldn't find anyone.
"Liu Meiling, great! I finally found you." Zhu Xiaojun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Meiling's response. Zhu Xiaojun had been very scared, afraid that the Liu Meiling he had found was not Liu Meiling.
Liu Meiling opened her eyes with great effort and was confused for a while before she saw clearly that the person squatting in front of her was Zhu Xiaojun.
After Liu Meiling recognized Zhu Xiaojun, she didn't know where she got the strength from, she couldn't help but rush over, hugged Zhu Xiaojun's neck, and burst into tears.
"Wow, brother Xiaojun, you are finally here!"
Zhu Xiaojun was pushed back a step by Liu Meiling's momentum and almost fell on his butt. He finally managed to steady himself.
"Brother Xiaojun, why did you come just now? You scared me to death! Woo woo woo" Liu Meiling's voice was full of grievance.
If Liu Meiling had spoken to Zhu Xiaojun in this tone three days ago, Zhu Xiaojun would have coaxed her. But now, all Zhu Xiaojun could think of was Liu Meiling's contemptuous look and the words she cursed him with, "Coward, coward, coward," which played on a loop.
Zhu Xiaojun knew that he and Liu Meiling could no longer have a future. No matter how beautiful Liu Meiling was or how wealthy her family was, he would never want this "love" that did not belong to him.
Zhu Xiaojun's body stiffened. He wanted to push Liu Meiling away, raised his hand, thought for a moment, and then put it down. Forget it! The little girl was young and naive, so how could he, a grown man, still hold a grudge? After all, Liu Meiling was right. Zhu Xiaojun was indeed useless, and it was no wonder that Liu Meiling looked down on him.
"Brother Xiaojun, where is this place? I've been looking for a long time but couldn't find a way out. My feet are all rubbed raw." Liu Meiling didn't know what Zhu Xiaojun was thinking. After crying for a while, she stopped crying when she saw that Zhu Xiaojun didn't coax her.
"I don't know either." Zhu Xiaojun said with a wry smile.
"Brother Xiaojun, please take me home quickly. I want to go home." Liu Meiling said sobbing.
"I can't find my way back," Zhu Xiaojun admitted. He actually felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have just jumped on something. After the pendant drank his blood, he'd somehow gotten in, but he had no idea how to get out. He wasn't going to cut his finger again, was he? Even if he did, he wouldn't know where to press his bleeding finger.
"What? How did you get lost too?" Liu Meiling opened her eyes wide and screamed.
Liu Meiling was still terrified. She didn't know why she was here. She had clearly been washing her hands in the restroom of the Qingxin Bar! Oh, and what did she do while washing her hands? Did she break something? Hiss! Her head hurt. Why couldn't she remember anything?
Liu Meiling was feeling a bit panicky. She was tired and hungry. Ever since she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place, she'd been trying to find a way out. Unfortunately, there were only wheat fields, and the few thatched huts were inaccessible.
Liu Meiling felt like she had covered the entire distance she would cover in a year in just two days. When she was extremely hungry, she picked a few ears of wheat from the field, roughly peeled them, chewed them raw, and swallowed them, finally settling her rumbling stomach. Now, Liu Meiling really missed her mother's delicious cooking.
"Liu Meiling, I'm sorry." Zhu Xiaojun felt deeply sorry. He understood the pain of having hope dashed. Just like him, he had thought he was Liu Meiling's "lover" just a moment ago, and what happened next? Zhu Xiaojun gave a self-deprecating smile.
Liu Meiling thought Zhu Xiaojun was making fun of her. She stood up in anger, twisting her body and assuming a teapot-like posture. She pointed down at Zhu Xiaojun and cursed, "Zhu Xiaojun, I finally see you clearly. If you don't want to help, just say so. What's the point of saying sorry? What can you do?" Liu Meiling was practically going crazy. She was tired and hungry, and Zhu Xiaojun told her she couldn't go home? No! She didn't want this! She wanted to go home!
"Zhu Xiaojun, you are such a coward. If you knew you were useless, why did you come out to find me? Can't you let my dad come find me? If my dad were here, he would definitely take me home. I don't want to see you, get out! Wuuuuu, get out!"
Seeing Liu Meiling like this, Zhu Xiaojun's heart felt like it had just been fished out of a pool of bitter gall, so bitter that it was indescribable.
No wonder people tend to tell the truth when they are angry. Zhu Xiaojun has always been useless in front of Liu Meiling!
"Yes! I am a coward! I can never be the hero in your heart. You want to go home, and I want to go home too!" Zhu Xiaojun murmured.
As soon as Zhu Xiaojun finished speaking, he disappeared in front of Liu Meiling.
"Brother Xiaojun, Brother Xiaojun, where have you been? Don't go, I'm scared! Don't go." Liu Meiling cried for a while and opened her eyes. Zhu Xiaojun was no longer there.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xiaojun could no longer hear Liu Meiling's call at this time.
