Hechuan tied the seedlings into small bundles and scattered them evenly in the paddy field. Then he untied the seedlings in the paddy field, took a handful of seedlings in his left hand, and quickly used his thumb and middle finger to "divide the seedlings" and planted the divided seedlings in the field with his left hand, stepping back as he did so.
Su Tao thought it was easy and was eager to try, so he shouted, "I'll do it, I'll do it." He pulled He Chuan aside and imitated He Chuan. He held the seedlings in his left hand, bent down with his left hand and planted them, moving back as he went. Soon he had planted a lot of seedlings.
Su Tao turned to glance at He Chuan as if to take credit, and the man looked behind Su Tao with a half-smile. Su Tao looked back and saw that the rice seedlings she had just planted had all fallen over in the paddy field.
Su Tao was stunned for a moment. It was still firm when it was inserted just now, how come it fell down in the blink of an eye?
Meeting the man's teasing gaze again, Su Tao smiled awkwardly and said shamefacedly, "This isn't my first time. I'm new to it. I'll get used to it after a few tries."
He Chuan shook his head disapprovingly at her words and said, "You're not new to it, you just haven't mastered the method."
He Chuan walked behind Su Tao, his arms seemingly wrapped around Su Tao, but his torso did not touch Su Tao at all.
The warmth emanating from He Chuan's chest penetrated into Su Tao's delicate body. Su Tao stiffened slightly. The unique male hormone scent made her face flush and her heart beat faster.
He Chuan first adjusted Su Tao's stride to the desired distance, then grabbed Su Tao's hand and demonstrated, "Pinch the base of the seedling with your fingers, palm facing the seedling, and insert the seedling downwards into the soil along the heel, aiming for 1-2 centimeters."
"Really? It didn't fall this time." Su Tao looked at He Chuan with admiration in his crescent-shaped peach blossom eyes. He had never expected that such a simple thing could have so much knowledge.
He Chuan was caught off guard by Su Tao's charming smile. His heartbeat quickened, but his face remained calm as he said, "Then let's get started. You continue to plant rice here, and I'll go over there."
After saying this, he didn't give Su Tao a chance to speak. With a cold face and an aura of "keep away from strangers", he turned around and left without hesitation.
"Sense value +100" a familiar voice sounded.
Su Tao puffed out his cheeks, glaring at the figure walking away so neatly without anger. Was she some kind of monster? She left right after teaching her, and even ran so far away. Just a moment ago, he was teaching her so affectionately, and now, suddenly, he'd turned his back on her and drawn a line in the sand. She'd even gained some Sentiment Points, a whopping 100! How could it be so much this time? He Chuan seemed mad. She even had Sentiment Points. Strange!
Su Tao carefully followed the method taught by He Chuan to plant the seedlings. The water shoes looked like ordinary rubber, but it was unknown what material they were made of. When stepping in the mud, they did not get stuck in the mud at all and would not get stuck in the mud. It was very easy to walk. Although the seedlings he planted were not as neat as He Chuan's, they were still acceptable.
At noon, the sun hung in the sky like a fireball, and the sunlight shone directly down, baking the earth as hot as a steamer.
Su Tao was sweating profusely from the heat. Although he was wearing a sun-protective jacket that blocked most of the temperature and ultraviolet rays, the scorching sun at noon was too hot and he was still tanned all over, like barbecue on a frying pan.
Transplanting rice seedlings may seem easy, but it's actually incredibly tiring. Su Tao feels like his waist isn't his own, having to bend and stand up repeatedly.
Su Tao looked down at Hechuan, and saw the man not far away still planting rice seedlings tirelessly like a machine.
"He Chuan~ Let's take a break and eat first." He Chuan heard Su Tao's crisp and soft voice, stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked back at Su Tao.
Su Tao's fair face was already red from the sun, but upon closer inspection, he saw no signs of sunburn. He Chuan felt a little annoyed with himself, wanting to stay away from her to avoid any further contact, but he hadn't noticed Su Tao's condition in time.
He Chuan replied in a hoarse voice, "He," pointing to the big tree where they rested while threshing yesterday, and signaled Su Tao to go there to rest.
