Chapter 73 People in the Lotus Field
"Really? If you say so, I should sympathize with Geng Xiaoyun."
It’s suffocating just thinking about it. Geng Xiaoyun lives in the same room with Chen Miaomiao!
Ren Bingxin: "Tsk, how could I lie to you about this? Why would I lie to you!"
Continuing the conversation would easily escalate the conflict, so Gu Ying stepped forward and blew out the kerosene lamp at the right moment: "Okay, go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow."
Thinking that he had to go out early to herd cattle tomorrow, Lu Miao gave up the idea of continuing the conversation, said "good night" sweetly, adjusted himself to a more comfortable position, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
I met Fu Jingyou again the next morning. Fu Jingyou brought more things than yesterday, not only a sickle, but also a large bundle of straw ropes and a sharp pole for carrying things.
Compared to his heavy burden, Lu Miao next to him seemed to have it so easy.
Of course, Lu Miao felt a little guilty for being too relaxed. She didn't dare to lead the cow, so she begged Fu Jingyou to give her the straw rope and the sharp pole. Like a little old man, she carried the straw rope on her shoulder with the sharp pole and slowly followed Fu Jingyou.
Just like yesterday, when they arrived at the place, Lu Miao sat in the shade and concentrated on watching the cows. Before starting work, Fu Jingyou consciously bent up his trouser legs and strode into the lotus field to pick lotus pods for Lu Miao.
But this time there seemed to be a bit of an accident. Fu Jingyou stayed in the lotus field for a little too long. Lu Miao felt a little uneasy. He withdrew his feet from the water, stood on the wooden bridge and was about to shout to ask what was going on, but at this moment, a "splashing" sound of water and lotus leaves shaking violently was heard in the lotus field.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear a woman screaming.
What's going on?
Lu Miao suddenly became nervous, "Fu Jingyou! What are you doing?"
“…”
No one answered in the lotus field, but the dense lotus leaves that were taller than heads swayed frequently, and split into two routes and quickly approached the edge of the field.
Lu Miao didn't understand the situation and thought there was a big snake or something. Seeing the swaying lotus leaves getting closer and closer to her, she looked around and didn't even bother to put on her shoes. She backed away nervously.
However, with a "crash" sound, Fu Jingyou, holding a large bunch of lotus pods, came out of the lotus field first. Lu Miao was stunned for a moment, and his tense nerves relaxed. Suddenly, he stamped his feet and said angrily:
"You scared me to death! Why didn't you say anything when I called you?"
She was almost scared to tears just now!
Fu Jingyou's trouser legs hung loosely at his calves, stained with dirty water. Lu Miao questioned him with a trembling voice. He opened his lips but simply stood there, saying nothing.
Lu Miao felt even angrier, biting his lips and wanting to say something, when there was another "crash" at the edge of the lotus field, and another person came out from inside, it was a lesbian.
Still a familiar face.
Lu Miao and the man looked at each other and were both stunned.
"Lu Miao!?"
"Chen Miaomiao?!"
Yes, the person who came out of the lotus field right after her was Chen Miaomiao!
Not only Lu Miao was surprised, but Chen Miaomiao was also surprised.
Although Chen Guifen said that when the lotus pods were ripe, there would be plenty in the lake and people could just pick them if they wanted to eat them, Chen Miaomiao subconsciously felt that she was an educated youth from the city, and her background and status were different from those of the villagers and members of the second team who were born and raised there. So she didn't feel very comfortable picking lotus pods.
I was feeling guilty, so I got up early to pick the fruits. When I was picking, I was just thinking about finishing them quickly. How could I have expected that I would bump into someone at this time?
Just now, because of the obstruction of view from the lotus leaves, Chen Miaomiao actually couldn't see who the other person was. Now that she came out of the lotus field, she saw Lu Miao standing barefoot in the shade of the trees on the wooden bridge with a pair of white legs exposed. Only then did she realize it and turned her head to look at the other person.
Seeing that it was Fu Jingyou, Chen Miaomiao's lips opened, surprised and stunned, "Fu Xiaoliu?!"
All the panic and guilt were replaced by astonishment, and Chen Miaomiao almost couldn't hold the big package wrapped in lotus leaves in her arms.
Thinking back to the times when she had seen Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou appearing on the same screen together, Chen Miaomiao clenched her teeth and understood everything in an instant!
No wonder she has been looking for opportunities to get close to Fu Jingyou, but either she couldn't find him, or Fu Jingyou was extremely resistant!
She had always thought that everything was a coincidence and that the timing was wrong, but she had never expected it to be like this!
Lu Miao has been involved with Fu Jingyou for a long time!
Chen Miaomiao glared at Lu Miao fiercely, shaking with anger.
Lu Miao frowned, very disgusted by the way Chen Miaomiao looked at her, "Why are you here?"
Chen Miaomiao snorted in a strange tone and asked Lu Miao:
"Why am I here? Why are you here?"
Lu Miao pointed to the wet grass on one side. A large black cow with big, kazilan-like eyes was nibbling the grass innocently. "I'm responsible for herding the cattle. There's plenty of grass here. Is that a problem?"
“…”
Chen Miaomiao thought there was something wrong, but the facts were in front of her, and she couldn't say anything else. She snorted, weighed the lotus leaf package in her arms, and opened the topic in a sarcastic tone:
"If you want to eat lotus seeds, only you can pick them. Why can't I come and pick them?"
After that, he mocked with a hint of meaning:
"Yeah, if you want to eat it, someone will pick it for you. I'm not as lucky as you."
The air froze for a moment. Chen Miaomiao looked at Fu Jingyou deeply, then turned and left.
Fu Jingyou stood there in silence for a moment, and then turned around. Judging from the situation, it seemed that he was going to chase Chen Miaomiao.
Lu Miao was anxious, stamped his feet and shouted: "Fu Jingyou, what are you doing!"
Fu Jingyou slowed down his pace and wanted to chase him again, but Lu Miao's voice behind him became more and more angry: "Fu Jingyou!"
Fu Jingyou had no choice but to stop and turn to walk towards the wooden bridge.
When he approached Lu Miao, he said nothing and just handed the lotus pod to Lu Miao.
Lu Miao didn't answer. With a stern face like a queen, she asked condescendingly, "Do you like her?"
Influenced by the plot in the book, Lu Miao subconsciously felt that Fu Jingyou would be like in the book, unable to withstand Chen Miaomiao's approach and temptation, and thus fall in love with Chen Miaomiao.
Fu Jingyou looked up in surprise. Although he still said nothing, Lu Miao saw his eyes between the hairline on his forehead and knew what he wanted to say.
"If you don't like her, then why are you chasing her?"
Lu Miao continued to ask, this time in a much softer tone.
As if she had anticipated that Fu Jingyou would remain silent, she added angrily as soon as she finished speaking:
"You said you didn't like Chen Miaomiao! You were fine when you came here, but you haven't spoken since you saw Chen Miaomiao. Why don't you speak? Am I communicating with a mute?"
She had a sullen look on her face and was chattering like she was really angry. Fu Jingyou was afraid that he had really angered her, so he quickly explained:
"You're an educated youth, and she's also an educated youth... She doesn't get along with you. If what happened today gets out, it will have a bad impact on you."
