Chapter 80: Makes me want to bully you
Chi Wan, who had inexplicably become the focus, was now discussing the distribution of fruits with Li Xingye in the orchard.
"Someone will come to collect the fruit in a couple of days. I was thinking why don't you take your base's share today? The contract says the shipment volume is no less than 30,000 kilograms, and the rest can be given to you."
Chi Yuanshan made a rough estimate that the orchard's harvest this year should not be less than 60,000 kilograms, mainly oranges.
However, the negotiations for several barren hills in the surrounding area have basically been completed, and we can start transplanting new fruit trees in late autumn and early winter this year.
Since there is a super plug-in like Li Xingye, Chi Yuanshan doesn't worry about whether the crops can survive or not. He just grows them according to the preferences of Song Yinghe and Chi Wan.
Pear trees, peach trees, apricot trees... and even several types of cherry trees unique to the south were all planted. He even built a grape trellis in his own yard. He planted whatever varieties he could think of.
As they were talking, Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe also came over, carrying a bunch of woven baskets for fruits in their hands.
That was something they had specially ordered before, but before it was completed they discovered that Li Xingye could bring his own container, so they could only bring the ones they had made previously.
Li Xingye didn't waste any words. Although he was sitting upright in the space, countless vines under the fruit tree of Chi Wan's house grew in the wind and turned into a tall and deep basket in a few seconds.
At the same time, the fruit trees seemed to come alive and began to shake themselves. The ripe fruits were shaken off one by one, and were caught by the vines under the trees and gently placed into the baskets.
Looking at this miraculous scene before their eyes, Chi Yuanshan and his wife could not help but exclaim no matter how many times they watched it: "Xiao Li is really capable!"
Li Xingye said nothing, but the corners of his mouth kept curling up.
In a short while, all the fruits had been picked and packed. Li Xingye also thoughtfully selected a bunch of fruits of excellent quality and put them separately in the basket brought by Chi Yuanshan and the others.
Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe thought that this was a special treat for Chi Wan and looked at each other, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
Song Yinghe glanced at Chi Yuanshan and said, "You guys are busy that night. Your dad and I will take these back first."
Chi Wan responded casually. She guessed what these fruits were used for, but she still asked even though she knew the answer.
As expected, Li Xingye did not doubt him and said naturally, "Didn't you say before that you wanted to take some to pack the gift boxes?"
Although he was a little unhappy about Xiahou Yu also having a gift box, Li Xingye didn't want to delay Chi Wan's business because of this one person.
Hearing Li Xingye say this, Chi Wan was touched that he could always remember what he said casually, but on the other hand, he thought of the care he had shown towards Xiahou Yu before, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing Li Xingye looking up at him with a puzzled look, Chi Wan smiled with curved eyebrows and said sincerely: "I just think Brother Xingye is really considerate. I am so lucky to meet a big man like Brother Xingye~"
Here it comes again... Li Xingye has never been able to resist Chi Wan's half-coquettish tone. Hearing this, he could only cough lightly, picked up the cup on the table and drank two sips of tea.
But soon his body stiffened: This teacup... belongs to Wanwan.
Because Chi Wan was not in the space, he subconsciously sat in the position where Chi Wan had sat before, and the tea next to him was naturally the leftovers of Chi Wan.
After all, Chi Wan was the only one who could enter the space before, so all her utensils were placed directly on the table, and the tea she drank in the afternoon was not even collected.
Li Xingye secretly glanced at Chi Wan, and seeing that she didn't seem to notice this, he silently put the teacup back on the table, thinking about helping Chi Wan wash it later.
But his face inevitably became a little hot.
What Li Xingye didn't know was that Chi Wan had already seen his entire attempt to hide his true colors.
Chi Wan concealed the smile on his face and pretended not to see it considerately.
Was this the perspective that Li Xingye used when he looked at himself in the space before? Especially when he looked up and talked to her, his face was still the same stern one, but it unexpectedly had a bit of cuteness.
And... kind of cute.
"But this really makes me want to bully you..." Chi Wan muttered.
Li Xingye was busy covering up the teacup incident and didn't hear clearly: "What?"
"It's okay." Chi Wan suddenly smiled and entered the space.
She sat next to Li Xingye, holding her chin with one hand, took her cup with the other and poured some tea into it: "I'm just a little thirsty."
Seeing Chi Wan holding up the cup and about to put it to his lips, Li Xingye's face changed slightly. He stood up suddenly and snatched the cup gently but firmly.
"Brother Xingye, what's wrong? Do you want some tea too?" Chi Wan held back his laughter and handed him a cup in confusion, "Here, your cup is here."
Li Xingye shook his head and finally thought of an excuse after holding it in for a long time: "This tea... This tea has been brewed for too long. It's all cold."
After saying that, he turned around and poured the tea directly into the lotus pond beside him, then scooped up a handful of water with the vines: "I, I'll wash the cup for you, otherwise it will easily grow tea stains!"
Li Xingye, who had his back to Chi Wan, had no idea that someone was watching his panic and smiling like a little fox whose plan had succeeded.
He was just a little distressed: Wanwan had asked him before why he cared about Xiahou Yu... why didn't she continue asking?
He suddenly wanted to tell Chi Wan his answer.

The next day was a sunny day. Trucks carrying goods drove along the repaired road to the orchard and took away the packaged fruits.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when they saw Chi Wan's house, and some people asked Chi Yuanshan who helped them build this house.
They were all fooled by Chi Yuanshan's joke.
Today, Chi Wan’s small courtyard is priceless.
Outside the yard are rows of fruit trees, with heavy fruits hanging from the branches. There is a swing in the corner of the yard, with vines connected to the branches of a big tree, and next to it is a row of grape racks.
In front of the grape trellis is a stone table and stone bench specially selected by Chi Yuanshan. It is natural and simple. Next to it is a rattan lounge chair - this was made by Li Xingye specially for Chi Wan.
On the vine wall behind the grape trellis, small flowers hang down in clusters. It can be imagined that when the grape vine leaves climb up the trellis, this corner of the courtyard will have different scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
On the other side, Song Yinghe asked Chi Yuanshan to clear a piece of land to grow onions, ginger and garlic, which was full of life.
When Chi Wan got up, the fruits had already been loaded onto a truck and were being shipped out.
The villagers at the foot of the mountain looked at the carts of fruit being transported out of the village with some confusion, and whispered to each other: "This Chi family is really ruthless. They quietly hired people to pick all the fruit, and didn't even ask the villagers for help."
"Yeah, we're from the same village, why are you acting like you're on guard against thieves..."
An SUV nearby had already driven past, but reversed back after hearing the words.
A short-haired girl raised her sunglasses and asked, "Don't you know who you're guarding against?"
