Chapter 242: The Female Simp in the Farming Reality Show (50)

"Huh? Did something Nan Gongjing say upset our Deity? Why does it feel like Deity looked pissed?"

"More than just dark—it feels like Deity's eyes could kill, lol."

Standing at the center of the conversation, Ye Yunyun suddenly felt the atmosphere around her drop. Under Feng Xingzhou's suddenly icy gaze, she didn’t dare take Nan Gongjing up on his offer.

The entire pepper planting lasted about three and a half hours. Seeing the neat rows of pepper seedlings planted in the field, Ye Yunyun felt a surge of pride!

Grabbing her phone, she immediately prepared to post on social media. "Haha, we really did it!"

"So accomplished!"

In the moment of taking the photo, Ye Yunyun didn't notice at all that the two male guests in the picture were both looking at the same spot...

"Tang Qing! Tang Qing!"

"Look, we dug up so many bamboo shoots!" By evening, Pei Chen, relying on his stamina, came running excitedly with a basket full of bamboo shoots strapped to his back.

Perhaps too eager to see Tang Qing, Pei Chen wouldn't wait for the other three guests in his group, leaving the cameraman in the dust as he sprinted ahead, bursting straight into the cottage.

"Tang Qing?"

"Huh? The pepper-planting team isn’t back yet?"

After circling the front hall, he found it empty.

Just as he was about to check the courtyard, Zhuangzhuang in the aquarium suddenly flipped over, nodding his head twice in Pei Chen’s direction...

"Tang Qing’s over there?"

As if understanding turtle language, Pei Chen seemed to understand Zhuangzhuang’s message. Peering further in, he finally spotted Tang Qing on the innermost sofa...

Asleep.

The evening light bathed Tang Qing, casting an inexplicably serene beauty.

Pei Chen even forgot to take off the basket on his back, unconsciously moving closer to Tang Qing.

Crouching right in front of her, Pei Chen didn’t even realize how intimate the distance between them had become...

When he finally snapped out of it, his first instinct was to cover his nose, afraid his breathing might wake her.

Careful observation, careful approach, and... careful touch.

Extending a single finger, hovering just millimeters away, Pei Chen traced the contours of Tang Qing’s features with such delicacy. In their private space, an inexplicable sense of secret delight grew.

System broadcast: "Detected increase in Pei Chen’s Love Points. Current Love Points: 81."

"What are you doing?"

The sudden voice made Pei Chen spin around—it was Nan Gongjing.

Had he seen what he was doing...?

Thinking of his earlier actions, Pei Chen’s face burned with embarrassment as he mumbled awkwardly, "Nothing..."

"Oh?" With his usual smile, Nan Gongjing took a step forward and suddenly asked, "Do you like Tang Qing?"

The question was way too direct!

Pei Chen's eyes went wide!

"You..."

Damn it, how did you know!

His secret feelings got exposed just like that, and Pei Chen's whole body went rigid in an instant!

As if sensing Pei Chen's unease, Nan Gongjing continued, "What?"

"So nervous?"

"Pei Chen, is this your first time liking someone?"

Nan Gongjing spoke so casually that Pei Chen suddenly felt his tension and awkwardness seemed downright pathetic...

"None of your business! Back off!"

Glaring fiercely, Pei Chen, still carrying the basket of bamboo shoots, was about to leave when Nan Gongjing's voice came from behind: "I like Tang Qing."

He froze mid-step!

Pei Chen turned back in disbelief, only to meet Nan Gongjing's resolute gaze as he repeated, "I like her."

"Pei Chen, I don’t think I’ve ever cared about someone like this before..."

Under Pei Chen's stunned gaze, Nan Gongjing effortlessly voiced the thoughts that had been stirring in him for days.

"You... why tell me..."

"Seeing you so close to Tang Qing, I couldn’t help it." The fox maintained his usual smile. "Call it possessiveness if you want..."

"Or you could say, I want you... to back the hell off."

Right in front of Pei Chen, Nan Gongjing carefully tucked a blanket over Tang Qing, his movements tender.

Bathed in the sunset glow, the pair of them, with such an intimate gesture, made for a strangely beautiful scene.

Faced with this harmonious scene, Pei Chen, his heart full of things left unsaid, felt a sudden pang in his chest...

System announcement: "Nan Gongjing's Love Points increased. Current Love Points: 78."

"Wow~ Damn, that fox is ruthless! A few words totally messed with the puppy's head!" After the two left the living room, the system immediately woke Tang Qing and recounted the situation. "I thought Pei Chen was about to confess to you!"

The words he'd almost blurted out moments ago were now, thanks to Nan Gongjing's provocation, likely to stay locked up in Pei Chen's heart...

"No." Tang Qing gently removed the blanket and stood by the window, remembering Pei Chen's big puppy-dog eyes. She chuckled softly. "Pei Chen will come to me."

Pei Chen was just like a little animal.

Honest, straightforward.

You could read every like and dislike in his eyes... How could such a creature possibly hide his feelings?

"Back off"? Yeah right - Nan Gongjing totally misread this situation.

"Tang Qing? Hey, did Pei Chen come by here? He came tearing back here earlier." Pei Chen had run ahead so fast that Fu Hui and the rest only made it back to the cottage half an hour later. After looking all over, all that was left was Pei Chen's basket of bamboo shoots...

"Weird, didn't the guy say he was coming back to report the work results to you?"

Today, Pei Chen was acting weird today—he was dead set on digging up bamboo shoots the whole time on the mountain, blowing everyone off, completely absorbed in the task.

He dug so many, just waiting to show off to Tang Qing!

Now the shoots are here but he's MIA?

The group searched for Pei Chen but came up empty. Ye Yunyun volunteered, "I know where Pei Chen is!"

"No one’s answering his calls..."

Auntie Fu said suspiciously, "What, is it really like what netizens say—you two have some kind of psychic connection?"

"As if we'd have some psychic link!"

Ye Yunyun casually picked up Zhuangzhuang and held him up in front of the camera, smirking. "We have the Fu Lu Shou Small Turtle!"

"Zhuangzhuang! It’s time to prove yourself!"

Netizens: *Holy crap, the Fu Lu Shou turtle's back at it again!*
