Chapter 206 Female Simp in Farming Variety Show (14)

Chapter 206: The Obsessed Girl in the Farming Show (14)

Fishing during the day and rewarding with grilled fish at night—this reward and punishment approach led to a surge in Love Points.

The system said cheerfully, "Hahaha, Feng Xingzhou's Love Points are now at 11, Nan Gongjing's at 8, and Pei Chen's just reached 13!"

"I don’t get why, but as long as it works..."

Naturally, the system didn’t grasp that everyone has a thing for competence.

Only by throwing these spoiled city folks into the messy farm chores could they truly appreciate the difficulty—and realize just how impressive Tang Qing was.

Easy come, easy go.

Late at night, as Tang Qing was about to lie down, rushed footsteps suddenly echoed from downstairs.

She faintly heard her name being called. Pushing open the second-floor window, she saw Pei Chen standing outside…

His expression was panicked, and he was clutching the bowl she had given him earlier that evening.

Spotting Tang Qing at the window, Pei Chen's face lit up and he urgently cried out, "Tang Qing! Quick, I need your help—"

It was for his Zhuangzhuang.

After all, it was a turtle he had caught himself, and Pei Chen couldn’t help but adore it. He had spent most of the night watching over Zhuangzhuang.

But as he watched, he noticed something wrong.

Zhuangzhuang wasn’t moving!

Stuck in the middle of nowhere, Pei Chen panicked—and in his desperation, only Tang Qing came to mind!

That was why he was standing beneath her window in the middle of the night.

To his credit, Pei Chen stayed behind the boundary line Tang Qing had drawn, not daring to cross the courtyard. From a distance, he begged her to let him in.

"Please, take a look at my Zhuangzhuang…"

Cradling the turtle in his hands, Pei Chen’s eyes were filled with anxiety.

After a pause, Tang Qing suddenly shut the window.

With a "snap," Pei Chen’s face fell.

Of course… he knew it.

Showing up this late wasn’t exactly polite.

It was already time to rest…

Zhuangzhuang lay motionless in the bowl. Its eyes that were bright earlier were now dull. Pei Chen gave it a little poke, but Zhuangzhuang just lay there, still.

"Zhuangzhuang… what do we do? We’ve only been together for a day. You’re not going to leave me, are you…?"

He whispered, his voice thick with sorrow.

He truly adored this little turtle. He had even planned to set up a fancy tank for Zhuangzhuang once the show ended!

But before they could even go home, Zhuangzhuang was already failing…

Lost in grief, Pei Chen didn't notice at all.

Tang Qing was standing right in front of him...

"Give me the turtle." The sudden demand startled Pei Chen!

He nearly dropped the bowl!

Thankfully, Tang Qing was quick to react, grabbing Pei Chen. "What's wrong with you?"

"Do you always drop things when you're nervous?"

"Trying to kill your turtle by dropping it now?"

"I wasn’t going to!" Pei Chen only snapped back to reality when he saw who was in front of him. He looked down and saw Tang Qing gripping his wrist.

The moonlight was cool like water, but Tang Qing’s hand carried a faint warmth, seeping through where their skin touched.

That little bit of warmth made Pei Chen suddenly uneasy. He hastily stepped back, putting space between them.

Tang Qing tilted her head. "Hmm?"

"Now what?"

The warmth faded, and with it, that strange flutter in his chest.

Collecting himself, Pei Chen said, "Nothing."

"Tang Qing, please, just take a look at Zhuangzhuang. What’s wrong with him?"

Worried about his little turtle, he presented Zhuangzhuang to Tang Qing again. The turtle, which had still had the energy to spit at Pei Chen during the day, now lay utterly listless.

Tang Qing gently shook the bowl, making Zhuangzhuang even more uncomfortable—it seemed on the verge of passing out.

It really did look unwell...

The system took a glance and whispered in Tang Qing’s mind, "Overfed."

"This guy’s been feeding it nonstop since he got it..."

So that was it.

Typical spoiled rich kid, raising pets purely by whim.

"It’s fine. Probably just overfed," Tang Qing said. "Feed it less next time."

"What?"

Pei Chen muttered, "That’s all?"

"Mhm. What else did you think it was?" In the bright moonlight, Tang Qing’s calm voice eased Pei Chen’s earlier panic.

That’s when Pei Chen noticed—Tang Qing was only in pajamas.

Silk pajamas, no less, glistening under the moonlight.

And...

The exposed skin of her chest, lit by the glow, was dazzlingly pale, the soft swell of her breasts full and round.

Tang Qing is this fair?

After the initial shock, Pei Chen seemed to realize something, and his face instantly flushed red!

He even instinctively covered his eyes, "I didn't see anything!"

"Uh... sorry!"

Taking a step back, Pei Chen had never imagined that he would blush over a country girl's appearance just now!

And that weird pounding in his chest—totally not normal!

"I don't even mind, so why are you nervous..." Pei Chen's reaction drew a soft chuckle from Tang Qing.

In all the time they'd spent together, Pei Chen had never seen Tang Qing smile before.

Just now, there was a hard-to-pin-down feeling—her voice soft and electrifying, like a whisper against his ear, stirring a strange thrill and tension that spread through him.

Meeting Tang Qing's gaze now, under the cool moonlight, she stood casually before him, her hair loosely gathered to one side, accentuating the generous expanse of pale skin at her décolletage. The usually stern overseer unexpectedly exuded a bewitching charm.

Perhaps the contrast with her usual demeanor was too stark, leaving Pei Chen frozen in place.

By the time he snapped out of it, Tang Qing had already pulled her nightgown back together, covering that dangerously alluring view. "The turtle's okay. It's late, I'm going back to my room to rest."

"Wait!"

Just before she turned away, Pei Chen called out to Tang Qing again.

The strict taskmaster glanced back. "What?"

"Um... could I ask you for a favor?" Now that his head had cleared, Pei Chen's mind cleared slightly as he spoke in a low voice. "I think... I'm probably not cut out for raising Zhuangzhuang."

"Could you... maybe look after him for me?"

"I'm really not confident keeping Zhuangzhuang with me."

After almost done in the newly acquired turtle in just one night, Pei Chen suddenly realized the issue and begged Tang Qing for help. "Don't worry! I'll make it worth your while!"

Hearing this, Tang Qing's mouth quirked. "Oh? You want me to take care of him?"

"Yes!"

"You'd definitely do a better job than me!"

Somehow, Tang Qing gave him an inexplicable sense of security. Deep down, Pei Chen felt she was way better at raising the turtle than he was.
