Seeing that the people were about to be driven away, Duan Linzhou's lips curled up into a barely perceptible smile before he spoke up to break the deadlock: "I taught them how to plant a few more crops, which counts as exceeding the target, so the reward will naturally be more."
Lin Hu's body, which had been stiff, relaxed instantly after the other person spoke.
An unnatural smile appeared on his lips, and he managed to squeeze out a dry sentence: "Really? That's great."
Lin Hu didn't dare look into the other person's eyes, so he turned his gaze to the other person's lips.
The other person has beautiful lips, a light color, and is currently wearing a pleasant, slight smile.
Lin Hu didn't dare to look any longer and shifted his gaze elsewhere.
Duan Linzhou also restrained himself at the right time. This matter couldn't be rushed. He raised his hand and patted the other person's head: "Go wash up and go to bed. It's late."
After Duan Linzhou finished speaking, he left first, wanting to give Lin Hu some space to react.
Lin Hu sat in the living room, lost in thought. He wondered if he had just been hoping for a kiss. This wasn't something a friend would do, but it didn't seem like something a couple would do either.
Couples are always connected, and these two are both grown men, how could things possibly develop? Aside from enemies and brothers, he couldn't think of any other way.
Lin Hu then noticed that Boss Zhou had been quietly lying at his feet. The puppy had grown a bit and no longer tripped while walking.
She put the dog on the sofa, sat there for a while, and then went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. But when she opened the door, she saw Duan Linzhou lying on her bed, asleep. Naturally, he seemed to be the one who owned the room.
They used to sleep together without any problems, but now that she's been overthinking things, she feels a little guilty in front of this person.
If the other person knew he had such thoughts, wouldn't they feel disgusted?
Lin Hu shook his head, trying to shake these messy thoughts out of his mind.
After quietly washing up, I lay down in a spot far away and stayed up for several hours before finally falling asleep.
When he woke up the next day, he looked at the clock by his bedside and saw that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did he feel a sudden emptiness in his stomach.
After searching downstairs, I couldn't find Duan Linzhou. Looking at the small island in the distance, I figured he must have gone there.
I took some river fish and vegetables from the warehouse in the countryside, and also released quail and black-boned chickens into the mountains.
I used the cooking machine to make some food and sat under the grape trellis. The sun was out today, which hadn't come out for a long time. It was high in the sky, and scattered spots of light were falling through the trellis, illuminating my body, the table, and the planks of the raft.
Lin Hu opened the 1097 system interface to check the weather and natural disasters, which showed extreme heat.
Lin Hu immediately perked up and quickly bought seedless watermelon seedlings from the seed store.
When it came time to pay, the watermelon that originally required five level-three crystal cores could be sold for only three level-three crystal cores.
He then remembered what 1097 had said about the 30% off sale across the entire mall today. He had already wasted most of his time, so he needed to hurry up and buy some things.
Lin Hu went to the countryside and bought 200 watermelon seedlings. After two days of growth, he bought another mutated watermelon seedling.
According to the description, unlike ordinary watermelon seedlings, which can usually only produce one or two watermelons, this one can produce ten, without competing for nutrients.
Most importantly, ordinary watermelon seedlings stop growing after they've finished growing and can only be pulled up. The mutated ones, however, can survive for a year, regardless of the season.
What Lin Hu really wanted to see was how big the watermelon would grow. Its growth period was three days, which was one day longer than that of a regular seedling.
After that, I bought pineapples, melons, shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms. These latter types are common plants that will stop growing and wither after three months.
Lin Hu only indulged his appetite when he had the crystal core.
However, he had read about watermelon, cantaloupe, and pineapple, and they all had certain heat-relieving effects.
I gritted my teeth and bought an ice maker, a sausage grill, and a special barbecue grill, so that it wouldn't be as smoky and fiery as when I barbecued meat in the desert.
Finally, he bought some dog food, and before buying it, he had already thought of a reason to explain to Duan Linzhou.
I saw a nice dog bowl, but the dog food was made by a player who provided the materials and paid him. What about the dog bowl?
Do you still have the blueprints for dog bowls?
Lin Hu didn't take the dog food down; he wanted to wait until the survival system was updated before taking it.
They took a few machines back to the raft, ready to try making sausages.
While Lin Hu was chopping the meat for sausages, Duan Linzhou returned, his body covered in red, green, and purple mutated beast blood. He took a shower before helping Lin Hu with the chopping.
A three-meter-long table was placed directly on the open ground of the raft, with a chopping board and four knives on each side, and the two people sat on either side.
"Seeing how skilled you are at chopping meat, why don't you just livestream yourself chopping meat once the system updates the livestream function?" Lin Hu teased the person next to him with a raised eyebrow and a smile, having already forgotten the awkwardness of last night.
"So, are you going to send me gifts?" Duan Linzhou asked in return.
"Swish! Of course, swish! Let's not even talk about my brother Duan's meat-chopping skills, just look at his face. He can sit there without saying a word and people will give him gifts." Lin Hu's praise was genuine and sincere.
"What's wrong with my face?" Duan Linzhou's eyes unconsciously turned up, a smile playing in them, but he still pretended not to understand and asked the other person.
"So handsome! He's wasted his talent in the entertainment industry; he should be a 3D modeler." Lin Hu replied with a smile. If he weren't still chopping meat, he would have given the other person a thumbs up.
"Is it just that your face is pretty? Your figure isn't good? Haven't you seen it?" Duan Linzhou said something surprising, his face calm, but he secretly observed the other person's expression out of the corner of his eye.
"Cough! Cough cough..." Lin Hu heard the first half of the sentence and was about to respond, but when the second half came out, the words on the tip of his tongue turned into choking saliva.
I never expected that something I only glanced at casually before would be known to the other party and remembered for so long.
"Okay, very good." Lin Hu coughed twice and recovered, forcing a smile as he spoke.
Duan Linzhou knew when to stop teasing people and went back to work.
Perhaps it was the extreme heat that made Lin Hu's face turn bright red with embarrassment. As he chopped meat, he was also thinking about how to develop a thick skin.
After the two finished making the sausages, they didn't know what to do next. Lin Hu knew how to smoke them into sausages, but he wanted sausages; he wanted to grill them.
We can only wait for the system update to complete and then ask in the chat if anyone knows how to do it.
After cleaning up the mess on the raft, Lin Hu decided to cook dinner himself tonight. He couldn't rely on the cooking machine all the time, otherwise it would lose its homey feel.
Once the system update is complete, he will send the cooking machine to Duan Bohai, and that will be the first step in his retirement.
After Duan Linzhou helped prepare the ingredients, he went out to admire the moon. There would be a moon and stars at night, and because it was far from the supermarket, the stars over the sea were especially bright, and the sky blended into the sea.
As I approached the raft, wanting to admire the night view of the distant island, I leaned on the railing but felt a sharp pain, like being pricked by a needle.
