Chapter 89: Is There a Proxy Shopping Service?

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

Under the urging of her ability, they grew taller and taller, gradually becoming corn stalks, with small green corn cobs 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 thirty or so 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 hard, golden 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 overused, the body can still feel a sense of fatigue.

Farming is truly not easy!

She picked a basket of dried corn; these were all 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 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 it cooled 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 combs felt like they had perked up a bit.

Could it be her imagination?

However, one thing was certain: these chicks were truly big eaters.

Having been fed just once, they knew that what Ruan Mian was holding 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 further 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 vegetable leaves yesterday, and today not even the roots were visible.

They were truly great 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, there was that familiar white hair.

"Hungry again?"

What was the difference 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 unstoppable grievance.

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

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

"I was just worried about you, worried about whether you were doing well alone, whether you could 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.

"... would forget me..."

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

It was to the extent that if she woke up in the middle of the night, she would want to give herself a slap.

Why did you have to have such a loose tongue and go 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 flash of joy appeared on his face, but he turned his head away, not looking at her.

He carried a hint of prideful petulance.

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

Wait!

Why did this line sound 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 compared to 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 boiled soon, you just wait."

Sure enough, after the call was disconnected, Lu Yi's Light Brain soon received the item sent by Ruan Mian.

The Sweet Corn she had mentioned.

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

Ruan Mian was a treasure trove; she could always give him more surprises.

Taking a bite, the distinct texture of each kernel and 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 so 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.

And it was something he hadn't eaten before; what didn't change was that 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! Wooooo..."

He was actually cried into tears by the craving.

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

"You're a grown man, blubbering like this, it's 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! Wooooo... 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!!! Wooooo... 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 wasn't just thinking of his own ears, he now 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?"
