Chapter 77: The Delicate Strawberry

This thing is too troublesome to eat hot, and cold it's not tasty; it's in a very awkward position, so taking it out to trade now is just right!

Plus the Good Su Su Milk I got yesterday.

The price she gave can be said to be very fair, even somewhat generous! Mainly, this thing is useless to Cheng Shuili, so giving it away is no loss.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: One box of Good Su Su Milk, five pieces of fried chicken, enough for a meal—want to swap?

【Ju Zhang】: Swap swap swap!

Cheng Shuili didn't hesitate, directly initiated the trade, and the items arrived quickly.

The strawberry potted plant looks considerably larger than in the picture, the pot underneath is ceramic, and it comes with a small tray to catch leaking water—it can be said to be very exquisite.

Just that the soil is already a bit dry.

【Strawberry Potted Plant】

【Description: A strawberry plant, currently in the flowering stage, needs regular watering and pest control; overwatering kills it, forgetting pest control kills it, lack of sunlight kills it. The system's official advice: if you're not an expert in plant care, it's better to trade it to someone else.】

Cheng Shuili: "……"

In short, two words: it will die.

This is literally a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

But she doesn't feel like she was scammed by Ju Zhang, after all the item is correct. She bought a strawberry potted plant, and Ju Zhang gave her exactly a strawberry potted plant.

It's just that this strawberry is a bit delicate.

Whether it lives or dies, you can't really blame others.

Cheng Shuili hesitated a moment, then unscrewed a new bottle of mineral water, moistened the soil, and stopped.

The temperature inside the vehicle is indeed comfortable.

But outside is a vast expanse of ice and snow, with no sun in sight; this strawberry is extremely delicate, and without sunlight it will die before her eyes.

Cheng Shuili fell somewhat silent, frowning as she pondered.

Without sun, a grow light should also work as a substitute.

She raised her head and looked; the few lights in her car won't do, so she can only ask in the group, see if those three people have a grow light.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: Do you have a grow light in your vehicle?

Again, only Wan Yi replied to the message; Cheng Shuili wasn't surprised—those two must still be asleep.

【Wan Yi】: Is this one? (picture)

The picture shows a spotlight, yellow light, but obviously LED, the same as what Cheng Shuili has.

The picture also captures a corner of Wan Yi's life, everything neatly arranged, very fitting for her veteran cadre persona.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: No, it's not.

【Wan Yi】: Looking for a grow light? Are you trying to grow something?

【Xin Xue Chuji】: I thought the boss wanted to sunbathe.

Cheng Shuili: "……"

You wouldn't use a grow light to sunbathe, would you?

That's a bit nonsensical.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Speaking of which, mine seems to be like that! (picture)

The photo shows just a very common kind of lamp, which Cheng Shuili can't even tell apart.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: Wow! It really is a grow light! It's just called that name.

Clearly the strawberry potted plant has a chance to survive, yet Cheng Shuili can't smile at all.

Speechless, truly speechless.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Boss, what are you planting? Got anything to eat?

【Xin Xue Chuji】: All you have in your head is food?

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: If you can't eat it, why plant it?

That's quite philosophical.

Cheng Shuili chuckled lightly and directly sent out the picture of the strawberry potted plant.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Didn't recognize it QAQ.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: It's strawberries, right! I grew them in college; back then we had several fresh-produce boxes and planted various fruits on the balcony—so nostalgic.

Cheng Shuili instantly perked up; she was really a bit happy now.

I've planted them in college! And Xinxue isn't that old either; she remembers the lessons, which is very important for growing strawberries!

Especially this delicate strawberry!

Cheng Shuili glanced at the strawberry potted plant with its leaves slightly trembling; she could finally say she'd found a lifeline for this plant.

【Wan Yi】: That's great—I never went to college.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Sister Wan Yi, you must have entered the chef line early, right? A top-tier chef, super awesome!

【Wan Yi】: Yeah, I started at sixteen.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: @Xin Xue Chuji, can you keep it alive?

【Xin Xue Chuji】: You want me to keep it alive?

Cheng Shuili didn't want to waste words anymore; she directly gifted the strawberry potted plant to Xinxue.

Xinxue was dazed; just that moment, something she'd seen in the group chat suddenly appeared before her.

However you say it, this is still a plant!

It's the apocalypse now! Plants! Everyone knows how valuable this stuff is!

Wu Ya actually handed it over to her so easily?

What kind of trust is this?

After this period of contact, Xinxue also realized that Wu Ya was not as she had initially thought, and he did not treat them like subordinates.

They were more like sisters.

Although they hadn't reached the point of sharing everything, the good things they got were all shared together. Liang Shan Bo's snow rabbit, Wu Ya's watermelon, Wan Yi's cooking skills, and the materials she herself had.

That's also a good thing, right?

When Xinxue lifted her head again, the messages in the group chat had already scrolled several pages.

She pulled up a little and saw Wu Ya's reminder.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: I want to eat strawberries, don't let it die.

She deliberately selected this reply.

【Xin Xue Chuji】: I will definitely raise it to bear fruit! Please believe me, Boss!

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: How long has it been?

【Wan Yi】: Did the simple trapping device catch anything today? Mine's still empty. Wu Ya, you wouldn't be judging people by their looks, would you? Some people never get a catch in their whole lives…

That sounded a bit scary.

Cheng Shuili leaned against the car window and checked her trap; it was also empty, not a single hair, let alone prey.

It was quite chilly.

Cheng Shuili sighed, intending to comfort Wan Yi, when she saw Liang Shan Bo's message.

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: Wah-wah-wah! I went out to check Wan Yi's message just now and caught something again!

【Xin Xue Chuji】:???

【Wan Yi】:???

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】:???

Is this correct?

Cheng Shuili couldn't take it either; she hadn't seen a single hair, and this silly white sweet keeps delivering goods?

Why?!

【Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Lai】: It's huge, much bigger than a rabbit! What do I do? As soon as I untie the rope, it'll definitely run away! (picture)

What exactly is it?

Cheng Shuili opened the picture, looked for a while, and then saw the prey beneath the thick snow.

A layer of black short fur, two ears. Cheng Shuili actually didn't recognize what it was, but she recognized the ox's nose.
