Chapter 131: Who Are You Trying to Woo?

Ruan Mian fed a fair amount of her supernatural ability to each fruit tree again; as a green light flashed, the trees' branches and leaves grew increasingly lush, flowers bloomed in clusters, and fruits hung in bunches.

This scene was so delightful to look at.

"Wow, Big Sister, what kind of fruit is this? Is it edible too?"

Looking up, she saw that Xia Cheng, having finished his work, had walked over at some point and was looking up at the apple tree in front of him, asking curiously.

"This is an apple, a type of fruit. You can eat it directly. The fruit is very sweet, full of juice, and very delicious. You can pick one to try~"

"Can I?"

Xia Cheng was very pleasantly surprised, but his tone remained cautious.

His expression seemed to be written with, 'Is someone like me really worthy?'

It made one's sympathy instantly overflow.

"Of course you can. You are my employee, which means you're one of us. Anything I have here, fruits and such, as long as it's edible, you can eat it. Eat as much as you want."

My main priority is making sure there's plenty to eat.

As she spoke, she walked over, picked a large, red apple, and handed it to him, then took his hand, which was hanging at his side, and placed it firmly on top.

"Try it and see if it's good."

Xia Cheng held the apple in his hand, a flash of hesitation crossing his eyes.

His dark blue hair looked like it had a faint blue sheen in the outdoor light, and paired with his pale skin, he looked frail and young.

That pair of furry cat ears on his head—so cute!

"Eat it, it's very delicious, I'm not lying to you."

Why did she have the inexplicable feeling that she was coaxing a stray dog home from the streets?

Under her expectant gaze, he still took a small bite.

With a crunch, the crisp flesh was bitten off, and the sweet, clear juice was crushed by his teeth and flowed in.

That taste was something Xia Cheng would remember for almost his entire life.

Wonderful and delicious, it was the sweetest thing he had ever encountered in his life.

"Big Sister, this apple is truly delicious!"

Seeing the look of surprise on his face when he ate something good successfully pleased Ruan Mian; it was the look she wanted to see.

Without thinking, she reached out.

She rubbed those upright ears.

They were just too cute.

Xia Cheng didn't expect his ears to be touched again, and his body still felt a moment of discomfort.

He stiffened, not daring to move, mentally telling himself to relax, relax.

But a little bit of redness still climbed to the tips of his ears.

Was it shyness, embarrassment, or humiliation?

Ruan Mian seemed to have noticed his abnormality as well.

Stupid hand! Why couldn't it resist the temptation?!

You just can't stop petting, can you!

"Sorry, I, uh, your ears are just too cute, too endearing, I couldn't help myself for a moment... Next time I will definitely control my hands!"

"It's not that!"

Xia Cheng spoke up, calling out to Ruan Mian as she lowered her hand.

"It's just that no one has ever liked my ears before."

She understood.

She was dying of pity.

He was just a poor little thing who had never experienced kindness.

Her maternal instincts overflowed once again.

"You are such a cute little... wolf, anyone who doesn't like you must have something wrong with their eyes!"

Thank goodness, thank goodness.

She had almost let the words 'little puppy' slip out.

"When you encounter problems, look for the cause in others first; anyway, there is nothing wrong with you!"

As soon as Ruan Mian finished speaking, she met a pair of eyes that were gradually growing scorching hot, his gaze fixed tightly on her, as if he wished it could turn into something tangible.

How did she feel like she had inadvertently gained a little fanboy?

Or perhaps saved a wayward youth?

"Mm, Big Sister, I understand."

"That's the way it should be. You are great; there is no need to worry about what others think or say. People who like you will like you no matter what you become."

When she spoke of this, the pride and confidence dancing in her eyes were hard to ignore.

How could she be so open and honest in the face of this disgusting world?

"Then what if it's someone who doesn't like me?"

He lowered his eyes, his face showing hurt and loneliness.

Who exactly is it!

Who exactly is it!

Bullying such a cute little dog!!!

"Don't like you? If they don't like you, they can go to hell. It's none of their business. You aren't eating their rice; you're eating my food now, you're one of my people. If anyone talks nonsense in front of you again, just curse them back!"

Ruan Mian, with her hands on her hips, was practically a shrew, full of momentum.

It stunned the person in front of her for a moment.

They had not expected such a side to someone so soft and weak.

After finishing her harsh words, she realized a bit late what a stupid thing she had just done.

She felt a bit embarrassed.

"Um, I am actually very gentle..."

"Mm."

Xia Cheng's voice was very, very soft, "They don't have any rice."

Ruan Mian: How should she explain that this is an adjective?

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about anything else while you're with me!"

Seeing that his mood had improved a lot, she also felt much more at ease.

"Right, Little Xia, I have a guest coming in a while, a very good friend of mine. You don't need to do anything; you all go and rest first!"

A very good friend?

Xia Cheng did not miss the joy and anticipation in her eyes.

It didn't look like a simple, ordinary friend!

Even though he had his guesses, he still obediently asked nothing, nodded, and then obediently left the orchard.

As for what kind of friend it was? He thought he would know eventually.

Seeing that everyone had left, Ruan Mian hurriedly got busy.

She used her ability to urge small grasses and flowers to grow on the lawn between the fruit trees, creating a patch that was incredibly beautiful.

She even specifically put that pot of lilies into the Light Brain.

She was just waiting for the important moment to strike him a heavy blow.

That would surely charm him to death.

For a man like Huo Junze, whose own conditions were excellent and who was also handsome, there must be plenty of young girls around him.

Although he was a bit old in age.

But, who told everyone here to be generally old!

If it were back in the past, someone like him would belong to the hot commodities among the elderly, so how would it ever be her turn!

However, Ruan Mian also knew one saying.

That is, he who strikes first gains the advantage, and those close to the water enjoy the moonlight first.

Although he was cooperating with her because he had his eye on her plants, that didn't mean Ruan Mian hadn't set her sights on him!

Thinking about it, it was still a fair trade!

Having struggled through the apocalypse in her past life, living cautiously and feeling that every extra day she lived was a gain, Ruan Mian had formed a habit.

That is, if you want something, just go do it; don't leave yourself with regrets or remorse.

What if she kicked the bucket tomorrow?

She had to live every day as if it were her last!

Use the resources at hand, give it a try, make a dash for it, and see if she could successfully win over Huo Junze!

Everything was prepared, and all that was missing was that east wind!

She found Huo Junze's contact account and just wanted to call, but felt a bit awkward.

Thinking about it is one thing, but actually doing it is another!

Her skin was still too thin.

Buzz, buzz—

The Light Brain popped up a message first.

【Huo Junze requests to land on Planet LG03, hoping for the Planet Master's approval!】

He was here!
