Xu Zhiyi had no idea about Jiang Wanqiao's entanglement and loneliness.
But she felt that someone seemed to be pestering him.
At first, Xu Zhiyi thought it was just an illusion. She had run into Pei Yan too many times in the past two days.
When she went to work, he happened to be assigned to the job next to her, and she could see him just by turning her head.
After she finished her work, she left early as usual, and then met him again on the mountain by chance.
"See you in the cave later!" Pei Yan said and left.
Xu Zhiyi actually sensed a hint of arrogance from Pei Yan's back.
Well, it's not an illusion. He's even cuter today.
After Xu Zhiyi finished his practice, he turned a corner and went to see the grape vine that was bearing abundant fruit. He hadn't eaten it for a long time and missed it so much.
When I build my own house in the future, I will definitely plant fruit trees in front of and behind the house.
The grapes had just grown a little bit bigger when Xu Zhiyi transferred his supernatural powers to them. The grape vines absorbed the supernatural powers and became full of vitality. The grapes turned from purple to red visibly to the naked eye.
Xu Zhiyi picked one and ate it. It was sweet with a hint of sourness and was truly delicious.
After eating two skewers, Xu Zhiyi did not forget to bring a few skewers for Pei Yan.
When we arrived at the cave, we found that Pei Yan had already built a fire and was roasting a rabbit. There were also red fruits picked from the mountain on the stone table next to it.
"Pei Yan, I'm here." Xu Zhiyi greeted him.
"Come and try the grapes I picked. They're very sweet." Xu Zhiyi handed him the basket of grapes.
Pei Yan reached out to take it, picked one and tasted it. It was indeed very sweet, and his eyes lit up.
The grapes were clearly not ripe yet, but Pei Yan did not say anything. He just ate a grape while turning the roasted rabbit.
It was rare to see that his face was not as gloomy as usual, but instead there was a flash of joy in his eyes.
Xu Zhiyi discovered that Pei Yan actually liked eating grapes.
"Zhiyi, are there many ripe grapes on that vine?"
"There are plenty. There's a valley in the mountains near where I grilled the fish. If I had my own place, I could pick some and make wine."
The speaker may not intend it, but the listener may take it seriously.
It can't be used to make wine, but it can be sold on the black market.
"Zhiyi, can I pick my grapes? Can you sell them to me?"
"Of course you can. We're partners, so feel free to pick whatever you want. Besides, anything in this mountain belongs to whoever finds it."
Xu Zhiyi didn't care at all, but she thought it was too troublesome and didn't want to sell the grapes.
What was normal in later generations to buy and sell things is now called speculation and profiteering, and those who get caught will go to jail.
Xu Zhiyi knew that Pei Yan had connections in the county town. She guessed it the last time she met him in the county town.
"It's ready." Pei Yan obediently handed the roasted rabbit to Xu Zhiyi.
"Well! Then let's eat together." Xu Zhiyi took a knife and cut the rabbit into two, then handed the other half to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan took it and thought today's roast rabbit was particularly delicious.
Pei Yan's cooking skills have always been good. The roasted rabbit he made was crispy and delicious. Xu Zhiyi thought it was the best roasted rabbit she had ever eaten.
When Pei Yan dug out a piece of mud from the fire and smashed it open, the fragrant smell of meat instantly filled the entire cave.
It turned out to be beggar’s chicken!
Xu Zhiyi was very surprised. She had just casually mentioned that she hadn't eaten beggar's chicken for a long time.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yan took it to heart and arranged it for her.
"Hmm~ It's so delicious! I miss this taste so much." The beggar's chicken that Xu Zhiyi put into her mouth was the taste she had been longing for!
"Thank you, Pei Yan. It's really delicious."
Xu Zhiyi was extremely satisfied with the meal. At this moment, she no longer looked like the lonely educated youth in the educated youth compound. She had lost her defensive and cold look.
Because of the joy brought by delicious food, a beautiful and gentle woman with a fair, palm-sized face and lively eyes.
Pei Yan was inadvertently stunned again, his heartbeat unconsciously quickened, and something was wrong. It seemed that he would have to find Mr. Guo the next time he went to the city to see what was wrong with him.
Xu Zhiyi looked at Pei Yan's dazed expression and laughed out loud.
The brilliant smile is so addictive, and the bright person is right in front of you.
Pei Yan could even hear the thumping of his own heart, as if a deer was beating wildly inside him.
Pei Yan panicked and didn't dare to look at Xu Zhiyi again.
He took the bone in his hand and put it into his mouth.
"Hey! Pei Yan, there's no meat on it. Do you want to gnaw on the bones?"
Pei Yan's series of silly and cute actions delighted Xu Zhiyi immensely. Previously, he had been a walking block of ice, wishing everyone would stay five feet away from him. His gloomy and ruthless demeanor created a sense of distance.
Pei Yan actually seldom spoke in front of her, and she was the one who talked most of the time.
No matter what she said, he would definitely respond to her, even if it was just a "hmm".
At some point, Xu Zhiyi became more and more active in front of Pei Yan, showing her truest side.
It can be called letting go of oneself.
The two of them didn't even notice the changes in themselves. It can even be said that they get along more and more tacitly.
"Do you want to pick some grapes? I'll take you to find your way." Xu Zhiyi suggested.
"good."
Pei Yan covered the fire in the cave with earth and extinguished it, and then the two of them set off.
The sun was still hanging on the mountain. In the deep mountains that were feared by the villagers, the two men came and went freely without any fear.
In order to take care of Pei Yan, Xu Zhiyi deliberately slowed down.
The two came to the grape vine, which was covered with crystal clear grapes hanging in bunches. It did not look like a wild grape vine at all.
Pei Yan had found wild grapes in the mountains before, but even the ripe ones were very sour and inedible.
Of course, the grape vine that absorbed Xu Zhiyi's supernatural powers is no longer the same grape vine as before.
Pei Yan certainly didn't know this, but if he took these to the city and sold them, he would definitely get a good price.
Although most people in the city have large families and high expenses, there are still some families with good financial conditions, so it is not a problem to eat there occasionally.
Originally, the supply and marketing cooperative had a limited variety of fruits and the supply was pitifully small.
Pei Yan quickly worked on weaving a basket with vines and picked a basket of grapes to take home for his grandmother to taste.
If it wasn't getting dark, he would have taken the recipe and picked all the grapes.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the two of them no longer stayed in the mountains and walked down the mountain together.
When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, Pei Yan took another path and went straight to find Fang Hai instead of going home.
Ask Fang Hai to come to him around four o'clock tomorrow morning.
Fang Hai didn't ask any more questions. There were many people in the village, so he just followed his brother Yan's instructions.
The next day, just after dawn, Fang Hai was already in Pei Yan's yard. It was too early, so he didn't knock on the door and climbed over the wall with ease.
Pei Yan had already prepared breakfast, which was baked corn pancakes and boiled eggs.
Fang Hai knew Pei Yan's style of doing things, so he didn't refuse and just took it and started eating.
Each of them carried a large backpack and headed towards the grape vines before it was fully light.
"Brother Yan, there are grapes!" Fang Hai looked at the bunches of grapes in surprise.
