Chapter 136: Fertilizing

"Big sister, has your friend left?"

As soon as Ruan Mian entered the iron-sheet house, she bumped into Xia Cheng, who was just getting up from the chicken coop.

Thinking of Huo Junze who had just left, a lingering blush remained on her face.

Her smile even carried a hint of shyness.

"Mm-hmm, he just left."

In fact, he had wanted to stay.

However, they had only just confirmed their relationship; this kind of progress was a bit too fast.

Maintaining distance at the right time is the only way to keep the freshness alive.

At the very least, she didn't want their relationship to end so quickly!!!

"Here, come quickly and taste our new product."

Of course, she still remembered poor little Xia Cheng, so she had specifically brought him a cup of Lemonade.

Xia Cheng put down the eggs in his hands, wiped his hands clean, and then walked over, curiously examining the water in her hand.

"Big sister, what is this?"

"Give it a taste. It's Lemonade made from lemons. See if you like it."

He took a curious sip.

In an instant, the sweet and sour fruit flavor directly conquered his taste buds.

It was a flavor unlike any other vegetable!

Ripples of joy danced in his eyes, and the gaze he directed at her flowed with soft and delicate emotions.

His whole being seemed to overflow with the scent of sunshine, intertwined with the green scenery around them.

It was just like the peace of mind a puppy running wildly feels when it finally finds its owner.

"It's so delicious, big sister! This is the best water I've ever tasted!" It was so delicious that his eyes curved into crescent moons.

Bang!

An arrow fiercely pierced her heart.

That was cute to the point of being against the rules!

Ruan Mian swallowed, trying hard to maintain her composure, though her mood was naturally quite good.

She felt as if she could already see the day when the Lemonade would sell like hotcakes.

"As long as you like it, I'll make you lots and lots of delicious things in the future. If nothing else, I guarantee you'll be eating well and living well with me!"

Xia Cheng looked at her steadily, something flashing in his pitch-black pupils, but it was too fast for anyone to catch at first.

It was quickly covered up by his slightly joyful tone.

"Really? Then I'll have to latch onto you for the rest of my life, big sister!"

Ruan Mian just giggled.

She replied offhandedly, "Alright, it's not like I can't support you for a lifetime."

"Let's go, I'll stir-fry two dishes for you tonight and let you taste my cooking."

Ruan Mian, who was striding forward, did not notice the expression on the person behind her change in an instant.

There was no longer a shred of docility left.

His gaze was sinister and fanatical, like an out-of-control beast, roaring to destroy everything.

The corners of his mouth held a near-pathological, greedy smile.

"Big sister, that's a promise then. A second less, and it wouldn't be a lifetime..."

Early the next morning, when Ruan Mian got up, she realized the heavy snow outside had stopped.

The sky could be seen outside the light barrier.

The sky was tinged with an orange-red hue, and it felt like it would be a rather nice day.

It's just that the weather on this planet is truly strange.

The weather, originally gentle, changes its face whenever it pleases; after being put in deep freeze for several days, it seems to be thawing again.

"Big sister, good morning!"

In Xia Cheng's hand was a box containing eight or nine eggs; it looked like he had gone to the chicken coop very early.

Ruan Mian was a bit surprised.

"You got up so early?"

Seeing the things in his hands, she understood in her heart.

He was afraid; having come here, he wanted to work hard and demonstrate his value so he wouldn't be driven away.

What a sensible child!

"There's no need to be so early. I don't have any major requirements for work here; you should still focus on getting your health back first."

Her words of concern were met with Xia Cheng being moved to tears, the smile on his face becoming even more pure and clear.

"No, no, I get up around this time anyway, and these chores really don't count as work to me. I also really like the little chicks."

He blinked playfully.

"Especially the eggs."

Last night, she had made him tomato scrambled eggs.

It had almost dazed Xia Cheng with its fragrance.

Tell me, what child doesn't love this dish?

"That's perfect, I'll make you tomato egg noodles for breakfast."

You have to eat more; after eating, you still have to go plant the soybeans, which are the main ingredient for soy sauce. Besides, you can also make Soy Milk, tofu pudding, tofu, bean curd sheets, and so on and so forth.

A long list of soy products had already flashed through her mind.

This is a possibility!

It's also a place for growing rice; the sweet potato seedlings planted yesterday look to be in pretty good condition today.

The chances of them surviving look quite high.

"917, go and bring over the pig manure that was scooped up earlier."

That is excellent farm fertilizer; the crops love it.

Most importantly, this land has basically no nutrients, so applying some is very necessary.

It was just that Xia Cheng was very confused.

"Why bring pig manure over here?"

"To fertilize!"

The next second, he watched as 917 followed her instructions and scooped some beside every sweet potato vine.

It was just that the smell was truly foul.

"Big sister, is this really necessary? Will it cause any problems?"

After all, she previously just covered the land with her hands, and these plants grew wildly!

She didn't do things like this then, did she?!

"Of course, this can provide some nutrients; this land is too barren, so it's hard for plants to grow."

On such a large planet, she couldn't possibly be expected to use her ability to plant everything by herself in the future, right?

Wouldn't that just drain her entire being dry?!

No, no, her little life is what matters!

After explaining this to him, Ruan Mian squatted on the ground and began to channel her ability.

A patch of slender, green, tender sprouts emerged, instantly covering an area and making this plot of land look like a lawn.

Leaf after leaf vied to sprout, bloom, and bear fruit, until the fruits were ripe.

Only then did Ruan Mian heave a sigh of relief, a thin layer of sweat appearing on her forehead.

"Alright, let Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang come to harvest; let's go prepare lunch."

After working for a while, she needed to hurry up and earn money, because she still had to make drinks today and build up some hype, so she had to speed things up.

Fortunately, she had Xia Cheng to help.

One more person, one more helping hand!

"Big sister, I've already cut the Lemon; what should I do next?"

Just as Xia Cheng's cheerful, youthful voice faded, the front door was knocked on.

Who would it be at this time?

Huo Junze?

Ruan Mian couldn't help but laugh; she was truly hopeless.

Huo Junze had told her that he had a meeting today to discuss their cooperation and wouldn't have time to come over.

And whoever could come at this hour was most likely Ji Jialin.

A love-struck brain is beyond saving.

"Xiao Xia, go open the door; it should be a guest arriving."

Xia Cheng was stunned for a moment before realizing it must be the young woman who came on the spaceship with him.

"Okay!"

He walked over quickly, opened the door, and bumped straight into the man outside.

At just one glance, a sense of defense against an enemy rose from the bottom of his heart.

His hackles were raised, and he was ready to launch an attack at any moment...
