Qiu Mengyun originally wanted to say that she wanted to go back to her hometown with Xia Tian.
But looking at Li Lu's expectant eyes, she was too embarrassed to say the rest of the words.
Before meeting Xia Tian, Li Lu was her agent and best friend.
The two have been together for ten years. It can be said that although they are not relatives, the friendship between them is not much worse than that of ordinary relatives.
Thinking about how I have indeed neglected my good friend Li Lu since I started dating Xia Tian.
I just came back now, and it seems a bit unreasonable to leave her like this and go back to my hometown with Xia Tian.
It would be fine if Xia Tian was her official boyfriend, but the key point is that their current relationship is just a partnership.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded against her will and said, "Yes! How can I bear to leave you here alone, Sister Lu? After not seeing you for so long, I must stay and have fun with you!"
Li Lu cheered happily, "Yeah! I knew it, Mengyun, you're the best. You definitely won't stand me up. You don't even know how scared I was when you said you wanted to go back with Xia Tian just now."
Hearing Li Lu's heartfelt cheer, Qiu Mengyun suddenly felt relieved.
It’s just a few days of separation from Xia Tian. If it can make Sister Lu so happy, it seems worth it.
"I almost thought you were going to default on your debt. Just before dinner, I looked at the new styles of many stores online. There were several bags and clothes that I really liked."
"Now that I have a wealthy man like you here, I can finally buy them all back."
Qiu Mengyun, who was originally feeling lucky that she had made the right choice, instantly regretted it after hearing Li Lu's next words.
Good man, I thought you didn’t let me leave because you couldn’t bear to part with me so soon.
As a result, I am here pretending to be a sister to you, but you are only thinking about my wallet.
Humph! As expected, best friends are unreliable!
"Well, I suddenly feel that my decision just now was a bit hasty. Can I go back on my word? I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go back with Xia Tian to see Grandpa Xia." Qiu Mengyun asked weakly.
"no!"
"no!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Tian and Li Lu objected in unison.
Li Lu and Qiu Mengyun turned around at the same time and looked at Xia Tian in confusion.
Li Lu asked in confusion, "Xia Tian, what's wrong with you? I don't want Meng Yun to leave because she hasn't delivered the bag and clothes she promised me."
"But what's wrong with you? Why did you react so strongly when you heard that she wanted to go back with you?"
Qiu Mengyun said indignantly, "Xia Tian, what do you mean? Do you think that I'm embarrassed by going home with you?"
"Am I really that incompetent in your heart?"
Xia Tian quickly denied it: "No, that's not what I meant."
"It's just that the situation this time is different from last time. It's inconvenient for me to take you back."
Li Lu looked at Xia Tian with a wary look on her face: "Humph! Meng Yun's current public identity is your girlfriend."
"Isn't it natural for you to take her home? Why is it inconvenient?"
"Could it be that you're secretly dating another woman behind Mengyun's back? Did you go back this time just to meet that woman?"
Qiu Mengyun also pressed the issue, "Xia Tian, tell me the truth. Did someone introduce you to someone? Was your visit to Grandpa Xia and the others fake? Was your real trip to meet someone else for a blind date?"
Li Lu immediately agreed, "That must be the case. I've seen it in all those short dramas. The protagonists are always forced by their families to go on blind dates."
"Then they would fake marriages and slowly go from disliking each other to falling in love with each other."
Xia Tian stared at the two women in amazement.
He said speechlessly, "Please, when you two have nothing to do, can you please stop reading those brainless domineering CEO novels and short dramas?"
"If I'm willing to go on a blind date, why would I cooperate with Qiu Mengyun and pretend to be her lover?"
Li Lu suddenly realized, "Right, right, right! I was negligent. According to the development of the short play, you two should be the male and female protagonists of the play now. What you are holding now is the script of contract lovers pretending to get married and then falling in love."
Xia Tian originally thought that after hearing what Li Lu said, Qiu Mengyun would refute her.
Who knew she actually nodded seriously: "Is that so? Then there's nothing to worry about."
"But you still haven't told me why you didn't take me back. It's just a trip home, what's the inconvenience?"
Xia Tian thought for a moment and finally came up with a reasonable excuse.
"Well, it's like this. Now is the time to pick corn. This time I go back, I will definitely go to my hometown in the countryside to help my grandfather pick corn."
"If you come with me, we won't have time to take care of you. I'm afraid you'll be wronged in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Qiu Mengyun shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I don't care about these. I'm not some delicate young lady, I can take care of myself."
Seeing Qiu Mengyun's indifferent look, Xia Tian had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Well, it's not just that I can't take good care of you."
"According to the custom where we live, the whole family has to work in the fields. If you come back with me, you have to go to the fields with me to pick corn, otherwise the neighbors back home will gossip."
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "That's nothing. Since everyone is doing the same, I'll just break it with you. It just so happens that I've never broken one in my life, so I'll just treat it as a way to experience farm life."
Xia Tian quickly advised, "Don't do that. You don't know how hard it is to break corn."
"Working in the fields under the scorching sun is not only hot, but the most important thing is that the corn stalks also drop dust, which makes your skin itch all over."
"Not only that, there are also many small insects in the cornfield. You never know when they will crawl onto you."
When Qiu Mengyun heard Xia Tian say it was hot, she didn't care.
But I heard him say that there were many small insects in the ground and they would crawl all over his body.
She immediately started to back off: "Uh! Is it really that scary?"
Xia Tian nodded affirmatively: "Yeah! It's even harder than I said."
Qiu Mengyun: "Well, I'll trouble you to go back by yourself this time."
Seeing that Qiu Mengyun, the troublemaker, was finally persuaded to leave, Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh? That's not right! I remember where you are, corn doesn't mature until September or October. It's only August now, what kind of corn are you picking?"
Li Lu's words instantly made Xia Tian's heart, which had just been put at ease, hang in the balance again.
Qiu Mengyun also immediately turned her head and looked at him with a questioning look.
