Chapter 19: Are You Opening a Purchasing Service?

Ruan Mian kept thinking about corn in her heart and mind, her ability channeling in her hands, and with a flash of green light, clusters of small seedlings broke through the soil.

Under the impetus of her ability, they grew taller and taller, gradually becoming corn stalks, with small green corn husks poking their heads out and gradually sprouting brown tassels.

Once they all became plump and grew to a size large enough to eat, she stopped.

She twisted off about thirty ears of corn, then continued to channel her ability to ripen the remaining corn to full maturity; the green leaves turned completely withered yellow, and the corn inside also changed from moist and plump to golden, hard kernels.

Ruan Mian stopped and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Looking at this vast ocean of corn in the front yard, she let out a long sigh of relief.

When this ability is consumed too much, the body can still feel a sense of fatigue.

Farming is truly not easy!

She picked a basket of dried corn; these were for the chicks to eat, and fortunately, she had money and bought a crushing machine.

These chicks can't just eat vegetable leaves all the time; she still had to provide them with some staple food.

She did it according to the way her grandparents raised chicks when she was little.

She boiled a large pot of sweet potato chunks, cooked them until soft and mushy, turned off the heat, and took advantage of this time to mix in the crushed corn.

After letting it cool down a bit, she carried it over to the chicken coop.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but why did she feel that the feathers of this group of chicks looked a bit brighter?

Even their drooping cockscombs felt like they had perked up a little.

Could it be her imagination?

However, one thing was certain: these chicks could really eat.

They had only been fed once, and they already knew that what Ruan Mian was carrying in her hand was food for them.

They all swarmed over at once, flapping their wings that had few feathers, stretching their necks to peck at the food.

"Go away, go on, go on, I'll scoop it for you."

For just these few chicks, they really could eat; she had thrown so many green vegetable leaves yesterday, and today not even the roots could be seen.

They are truly good examples of not wasting food!

【Beep—】

The Light Brain sounded two mechanical tones, prompting her that a message had arrived.

As soon as she clicked it open, it was that familiar white hair on the other end.

"Hungry again?"

What difference was there between this person leaving and not leaving?

He wished he could make eight hundred calls a day.

"Are you... finding me annoying?"

She had only just said one sentence, and the tone of the person on the other end changed immediately; the corners of his eyes drooped slightly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his words were filled with irrepressible grievance.

It was as if all his spirit had been drained away in this moment.

It made Ruan Mian feel like she was a scumbag who had abandoned his wife and children.

"I'm just worried about you, worried about whether you're doing well alone, whether you can handle things, worried that you..."

He raised his eyes and looked at her intently.

Those eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions, yet he was trying his best to suppress and endure them.

"Will forget me..."

To Ruan Mian, he looked exactly like a Samoyed waiting foolishly for its master who had gone far away on a rainy day.

It was to the extent that she would wake up in the middle of the night and want to slap herself.

You tell me, why did your mouth have to be so sharp, why did you have to go and provoke him!

"When did I ever say that? Don't talk nonsense. I planted corn today; this Sweet Corn is super delicious when boiled. Do you want some? I'll send you one for breakfast in a while?"

A glimmer of joy appeared on his face, but he turned his head away, not looking at her.

Carrying a hint of prideful affectation.

"Is this corn for me alone, or does everyone else have some too?"

Wait!

Why is this line so familiar?

Ruan Mian was amused by his childishness; she still remembered when they first met, that man covered in thorns was simply a different person from the one in front of her.

"Are you going to eat it or not? You eat it first, you eat it first, okay?"

She watched as the ear tips of the person on the projection, half-hidden by his hair, turned red bit by bit.

"Then I'll reluctantly give it a try."

A man who says one thing but means another.

"Fine, fine, fine, I know, I'm hanging up now, it'll be cooked soon, you just wait."

Sure enough, after hanging up the communication, Lu Yi's Light Brain soon received the item sent by Ruan Mian.

That Sweet Corn she spoke of.

The moment he took it out, there was a different fragrance, one that could similarly stir up the glutton in his belly.

Ruan Mian is a treasure through and through; she can always give him more surprises.

Taking a bite, the distinct texture of each kernel, the sweetness belonging to the corn burst forth between his lips and teeth.

It was really sweet.

Everything of hers was delicious, especially when he knew that he was the first to eat this corn; his chest felt as if it had eaten something too, filled with sweetness.

That joy permeated the corners of his eyes and brows.

"Hey! Lu Yi!"

A voice suddenly came over, interrupting Lu Yi's rhythm of eating with surprise.

The smile on his face faded, but when his gaze swept over and saw it was He Yu, that look of disgust softened quite a bit.

He just continued gnawing on the corn in his hand.

This made He Yu's eyes stare straight ahead.

As his sense of smell made contact with the corn in his hand, he kept swallowing his saliva.

Heaven knows how he got through last night.

He only ate that one bite, the rest was snatched away by his sister, he only ate that one bite!

He tossed and turned all night long unable to sleep, it was just heart-wrenching and agonizing!

Especially his sister, not only did she finish it, she even came to ask him where he bought it, and gave him a large sum of money, telling him to go snatch some more today.

It was practically firing a shot right into his heart.

Whether for his sister's instructions or his own stomach, he came to find Lu Yi early in the morning to pick his brain and think of a way.

Who knew, as soon as he came over, he saw him eating something.

And it was something he hadn't eaten before; what remained unchanged was, it was fragrant!

How could it be this fragrant?!

Lu Yi watched as He Yu's gaze remained fixed on him, and then tears welled up in his eyes just like that.

They fell down one by one.

"Wah— woooo, so fragrant! So fragrant! Woooo..."

He was actually tempted to tears.

At this moment, Lu Yi could no longer hide his disdain.

"You, a grown man, crying and whimpering, it's very pathetic."

He Yu raised his sleeve to wipe away the tears, but he still looked aggrieved.

Looking at this appearance, he inexplicably associated it with a certain term.

Who is he putting on this green tea act for?

A green tea will eventually be disgusted by another green tea.

"I want to eat it too! Woooo... I managed to snatch it with such difficulty yesterday... Wah— I only ate one bite, just one bite! My sister, my sister snatched it from me!!! Woooo... why am I so miserable!!!"

It was truly a demonic sound assaulting his ears!

"Fine, fine, fine! Stop crying, shut up! I'll think of a way for you."

Lu Yi was not only thinking of his own ears, but he also had a reason to contact Ruan!

"Ruan, I have a fool here who wants to buy a Boxed Meal, should we sell it to him?"
