Yu Yao's eyes widened suddenly.
Startled, she instinctively bit her lip, but ended up biting his lower lip instead.
Lu Ze grunted, his cold, handsome brows furrowing slightly.
Hearing Lei Xiaojun's conversation with the other children, Yu Yao snapped out of her daze and quickly backed away.
Lu Ze was holding her, and the more she tried to back away, the more the reaction force pushed her into Lu Ze's arms.
Seeing this, Su Meihua covered Lei Xiaojun's mouth and smiled awkwardly at the two of them, "You two continue, you two continue, we won't disturb you."
After saying that, he hurriedly dragged Lei Xiaojun away, and also took the other children with him.
Before Yu Yao could say anything, Su Meihua and the others had vanished.
How can this be explained? She really wasn't kissing.
This is the second time. Forget it, let's just destroy it.
Sister-in-law Song on the left hadn't returned yet, and there was no one on the right either; only Yu Yao and Lu Ze remained around.
Neither of them had anticipated what had just happened.
Yu Yao, fearing that Lu Ze would feel burdened, spoke first, "Lu Ze, I know that what happened just now was an accident. You did it to save me, so you don't need to take it to heart."
After speaking, she looked up at Lu Ze, only to notice that blood was seeping from his lower lip.
"..."
She was bitten and the wound was broken.
Yu Yao hurriedly took out her handkerchief.
While wiping his wound, she apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. Does the wound hurt a lot?"
Yu Yao felt bad that the bleeding was still happening.
She had barely wiped it a few times, and before the bleeding had even stopped, Lu Ze grabbed her wrist.
She looked up in confusion, her eyes meeting Lu Ze's deep, dark gaze.
For some reason, I always felt that Lu Ze's eyes were somewhat dangerous.
Yu Yao asked nervously, "W-what's wrong?"
Lu Ze said in a low, husky voice, "It's nothing, don't wipe it."
The sound seemed to be suppressing something.
Thinking that Lu Ze was angry and that's why he wouldn't let her clean up the mess, Yu Yao's eyes were full of apology. "There's medicine in the room, I'll go get it for you."
"Don't blame yourself for a minor injury, it'll be fine in a bit, don't waste the medicine."
Lu Ze released her hand and wiped his lips with his right thumb.
The bloodstains spread out, leaving a trail of blood as the finger dragged along, like a smear of rouge, possessing a broken yet alluring beauty.
The bleeding seems to have stopped.
Yu Yao pointed at the corner of his mouth from a distance, "It's not clean."
Lu Ze wiped it again, but there was still a trace of blood left.
"Let me help you?" It's unbearable for someone with OCD to see this.
Lu Ze looked at her, and just when Yu Yao thought he was unwilling, he nodded.
Yu Yao tiptoed and quickly wiped away the bloodstain with a handkerchief.
"Okay, it's all wiped off."
Lu Ze hummed in agreement.
Their eyes met.
Yu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but replay the scene in her mind.
The moist sensation of lips touching lips seems to linger on the lips.
Afraid of overthinking, Yu Yao lowered her head, her fingers fidgeting with the bicycle bell, and changed the subject: "Why are you back so early today?"
"There wasn't much training today, so I came back early. Didn't you say you wanted to plant some fruit trees and an iron fence in the yard? I got them through a fellow villager."
Following his words, Yu Yao looked towards the courtyard gate.
Sure enough, several fruit trees and shrubs were seen lying on the ground, and some branches were broken.
Yu Yao parked her bicycle, walked over, and helped the fallen fruit tree up. She touched the broken part with heartache, asking, "What kind of trees are these? Can they still live after a branch breaks?"
Wild fruit trees grow everywhere on the island, but they don't taste very good. The ones Lu Ze brought back were grown by the local villagers themselves.
Trees this thick are old trees; it would be such a pity if they didn't survive.
Lu Ze walked to her side and said, "Don't worry, breaking these few branches won't affect anything. These two are mango trees and this one is a lychee tree."
"As long as it doesn't cause any problems, we can plant these in the yard and then we can eat mangoes and lychees that we grow ourselves."
Even if you move the yard, you can take it with you.
The thought of having an endless supply of mangoes and lychees made Yu Yao forget the embarrassment she had just felt.
Seeing her happy, Lu Ze couldn't help but smile.
"These are all old trees that are several years old. If we plant them this year, they will bear fruit next year."
Yu Yao didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
It must have taken Lu Ze a lot of effort to get all this done. He's so busy with training every day, and only today did he have time to rest. He even went to find fruit trees for her.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lu Ze!"
Lu Ze looked at her and said, "This is our shared home, so it's only right that I do these things. I even found passion fruit seedlings for you."
"Really?!" Yu Yao exclaimed in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ze was so resourceful that he actually managed to find passion fruit.
Actually, she didn't have high hopes, after all, passion fruit was not yet widely available after being introduced from abroad in those days, and many people had never even heard of it.
Yu Yao asked curiously, "Where did you find the passion fruit seedlings?"
"It's from the Island Agriculture Research Institute. They're cultivating experimental seedlings and they'd like to transplant them to other parts of the island to try them out. They're willing to give us two seedlings, but we don't know if that's enough."
"Two plants are definitely enough. Like grapes, these plants can climb a lot. We'll dig two holes in this yard, plant the passion fruit seedlings, and build a trellis in the middle."
At this point, Yu Yao's face lit up with a bright smile, her eyes sparkling: "Next summer, after we finish eating, we can lie on deck chairs and enjoy the sea breeze. If we get thirsty, we can just reach out and pick a few passion fruits to eat."
Finally, Yu Yao turned to Lu Ze for his opinion, "What do you think?"
