Chapter 342: The Secret Thoughts That Cannot Be Hidden

Has she been under some kind of spell recently?

Why does everyone like to give her gifts?
I won’t mention my parents and brother.

When I went back to the Qing family's home, the elders took turns giving me gifts, including jewelry, jade, and porcelain collections. The number was so large that I had to set up a separate collection room at home to store them all.

But these are the enthusiasm of our elders, and it is impossible to refuse.

Now, even Lu Shixu wants to give her a farm.

"I accept your kindness, but there's no need to take care of the farm. I don't have time to take care of it."

Nanzhi flatly refused.

Lu Shixu refused to give up and tried to persuade him as he walked:

"It's just a transfer to your name. I'll handle the rest. You don't have to worry about anything."

That sounds good.

But Nanzhi had to consider a problem——

What if we break up?

Just because she is with Lu Shixu now, it doesn't mean they will be together forever.

It’s too early to say this now.

So the little thoughts behind Lu Shixu's seemingly simple actions...did you really think she couldn't see it?
"Thank you, but no."

Nanzhi glanced at Lu Shixu leisurely.

Lu Shixu's heart tightened, and he had to suppress his thoughts.

"Okay, I'll tell you when you want."

He walked quickly forward, grabbed Nanzhi's hand, and interlocked their fingers.

Nanzhi shook a bit but couldn't break free, so she just let him go.

Everything on the farm is self-sufficient.

As soon as Nanzhi and Lu Shixu sat down on the sunken circular sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Sister Fan brought them two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice.

"These are oranges grown on our farm. Miss Nan, would you like to try some?"

Nanzhi took a sip as he was told.

Well, it's very sweet, with a bit of natural fruit acidity, and no taste of any additives.

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Sister Fan smiled and invited Nanzhi to experience activities such as picking vegetables and fruits in person.

Sister Fan said, "Now is the season for flowers. The farm has a piece of land dedicated to growing edible roses. If Miss Nan is interested, she can try making some flower cakes by herself."

This really hit Nanzhi's mind, and she immediately stood up:
"How about going now?"

Although I can't bring Nan Yi to the farm, I can still let him try the flower cakes produced by the farm.

Lu Shixu stood up and said:

"Don't you need to rest? I saw you were getting sleepy on the way here."

"No, I'm in good spirits."

Nanzhi waved her hand, not allowing Lu Shixu to refute, and excitedly followed Sister Fan.

Lu Shixu had no choice but to follow.

Since we want to experience the process of picking fruits by ourselves, we naturally start from working in the fields.

Nanzhi was originally wearing a chiffon printed long skirt, which was naturally inconvenient for working, so Sister Fan provided her with a brand new set of cotton silk clothes that had never been worn. Although the pattern was a bit rustic, it was very comfortable to wear.

In addition, Sister Fan gave her a pair of rubber leather boots, a sun hat with a curtain, an apron and gloves, so she was fully armed!
On the other hand, Lu Shixu had no suitable clothes on the farm, so he could only take off his coat, wear a five-figure shirt, and put on a hat, mask, and gloves that did not match his image at all.

He looked a little funny, which made Nanzhi laugh.

In the end, he just burst into laughter.

Lu Shixu looked helpless, but he didn't refuse to take it.

Sister Fan led the two of them to the rose field on an electric car.

Sister Fan looked up at the sky and said, "Fortunately, it's not too late. Roses must be picked in the morning and evening. Roses in these two time periods are the best, and they are basically half-open. If they are fully open, the quality of the roses will be greatly reduced. By the way, in addition to making flower cakes, rose jam, and scented tea, these roses can also be used to make pure natural rose essential oil. Many people are very interested in essential oils. Our farm has just ordered a set of essential oil extraction equipment. Miss Nan, do you want to try it?"

“I’d rather eat them.”

Such a good rose, of course I have to eat it!

Sister Fan burst into laughter and gave Nanzhi a thumbs up.

Then, Sister Fan took the lead and stepped into the field.

She demonstrated the movements to Nanzhi Lu Shixu:
"It's not difficult to pick them. Just pinch the corolla and they'll come down."

Sister Fan brought a basket with woven strips of slits so that she could filter out the stamens, small insects, and thorns while picking the flowers.

Nanzhi tried to follow suit, but found that it was not as easy as it looked, because the rose was too delicate and its petals could be easily hurt.

Nanzhi looked at the marks on the petals with some distress:

"This won't work, right?"

Sister Fan glanced at it and nodded:
"It's best not to use it. But it's okay, you'll get used to it slowly."

Nanzhi had no choice but to slow down as much as possible.

Fortunately, she learned quickly and found the key points in a short time. She was able to pick a rose intact and her efficiency was also constantly improving.

She was carrying a not-so-big basket, which looked quite deep, but soon the bottom of the basket was covered with a thick layer of roses.

Nanzhi weighed it and felt that it was about half a pound.

She started to compare herself, and turned to see Lu Shixu who was far behind her...

There were two or three roses in his basket.

Sister Fan, sweating profusely, was directing him:

"Yes, yes, do it now! Oh my young master, you have to move quickly, it's easy to hurt the petals if you dawdle!"

Perhaps because she was too speechless with Lu Shixu, Sister Fan even forgot to call him Mr. Lu, and kept calling him "Young Master", which was obviously the name she called him in her childhood.

Lu Shixu showed a barely noticeable trace of embarrassment.

When he noticed Nanzhi looking back, he quickly pretended to be nonchalant:
“Maybe I’m not very good at it.”

He was afraid that Nanzhi would laugh at and despise his clumsiness, and he felt very uneasy.

Nanzhi came over and comforted him:

"Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. If someone is good at everything, then he is not a human being, but a god!"

Lu Shixu's tense back suddenly relaxed:

"...You don't think I'm stupid?"

Nanzhi gave him a displeased look.

What is this guy doing in Versailles!
If Lu Shixu is stupid, then what are the others? Brainless paramecium?

"Quiet! Pick your flowers!"

Nanzhi waved his hand forcefully, telling Lu Shixu to shut up and not speak.

Lu Shixu did as he was told quietly.

This obedient look reminded Nanzhi of Nanyi.

Should we say that we are worthy of being father and son?

These details always give her a strong sense of similarity.

Alas, she regretted it.

If I had told Yi Yi the truth earlier, maybe there would be a little kid among me picking roses today.

However, Nanzhi seemed to subconsciously ignore Nanyi's other reactions after knowing the truth.

Such as resistance, opposition, dislike...

Nan Yi is not a kid who plays by the rules!

Nanzhi's efficiency is several times that of Lu Shixu, and she completes tasks at a faster speed.

Lu's timing was a little slow, but he finally managed to meet the target.
