Chapter 62: The Girl with Glasses Has the Wildest Contrast!

After a while, Xu Xiu finally finished his drawing.

Wang Chuanchun was somewhat at a loss for words when he saw the artwork, and sighed, "What on earth are you drawing?"

"You, of course. Doesn't it look like you?"

"Take a look at it yourself and tell me if it looks anything like me!"

*Scratching head.ing*

Right at that moment, Wang Sulong came by to visit, and the moment he stepped through the door, his eyes fell upon the drawing.

"Huh? Did the two of you draw this? Why on earth did you guys draw Big-Head Son and Small-Head Father?!"

*Politeness: Are you serious?*

Is this even making any sense?

Xu Xiu had been drawing with the utmost sincerity!

Without even waiting for Xu Xiu to reply, Wang Sulong turned around and left to go hustle the others.

In the previous episode, Wang Sulong had been driven to distraction by Fei Qiming's hustle culture, but this time around, he decided to employ reverse psychology.

Fight magic with magic. Since you're so good at hustling, I'll beat you at your own game.

He wanted to use his actions to show everyone that hustling was simply not the way to go!

Wang Sulong came in a flurry and left in a rush, leaving Xu Xiu and Wang Chuanchun staring at each other in blank dismay.

"Should we maybe modify this painting a bit?"

"Don't torture my girlfriend anymore, just leave it as it is."

"..."

*[Ding! Detected that the host's abstract behavior has gained exposure, Exposure Value +91... Exposure Value +91...]*

Stepping outside the room, Xu Xiu noticed that the sun wasn't quite as blazing anymore, so he suggested that everyone take a stroll down to the vegetable garden.

Hearing this, Wang Churan, who had been sitting on the sofa eating potato chips, instantly perked up.

"Are you going to the vegetable garden? Can I join you?" Wang Churan's eyes lit up.

"Sure, but you'll have to write an application letter first. Once everyone agrees, you can officially join our vegetable garden team."

Xu Xiu was merely joking, but to his surprise, Wang Churan took it entirely seriously.

"Oh, wait a second, let me go find a piece of paper and write it down."

After finding some paper, Wang Churan unexpectedly pulled out a bottle of eye drops and applied a few drops to her eyes.

Xu Xiu scratched his head in confusion. Did writing things nowadays really require such a strong sense of ritual?

"Are those colored contacts?"

"No, I'm wearing regular contact lenses. I'm actually nearsighted," Wang Churan answered with utmost honesty.

However, Xu Xiu narrowed his eyes and glanced at her.

A bespectacled girl?

Tsk tsk tsk~ Bespectacled girls are great; the contrast with a bespectacled girl is always the strongest!

Before long, Xu Xiu called over Wang Chuanchun, and the four of them leisurely headed toward the vegetable garden.

Upon arriving at the garden, Xu Xiu turned his head to look at Wang Churan:

"Alright, most of the shareholders of our vegetable garden are here. Churan, why don't you share your application letter with everyone?"

"Ah? Do I have to read it out loud?"

"Of course! It definitely has to be read out loud, and with great passion and emotion, too," Xu Xiu said with a mischievous grin.

Wang Churan immediately turned to Meng Ziyi for help, but Meng Ziyi completely ignored her plight.

Plastic besties, confirmed beyond a doubt!

"Mengmeng~ Are you really just going to watch me suffer social death?" Wang Churan clung to Meng Ziyi's arm, whining coyly.

"Begging me is totally useless. The actual founders of this vegetable garden are those two guys."

Hearing this, Wang Churan decisively let go of Meng Ziyi's arm, and looked at Xu Xiu with big, watery, pitiful eyes.

"Rules are rules!"

"Fine then~ I, Wang Churan, blah, blah, blah..."

She was reading it with an utterly, super serious attitude.

Xu Xiu and Wang Chuanchun exchanged glances and quickly covered their mouths, terrified they might accidentally burst out laughing.

Peach Blossom坞 Grand Stage, come if you dare! Our principle is to fool whoever we can.

"Alright, brothers and sisters, let's each grab a hose and start watering," Xu Xiu picked up a hose and shouted.

The four of them went to the four corners of the vegetable garden respectively, which was an effective way to save time.

"These are wampee fruits; they aren't ripe yet. Have you ever eaten wampee fruits?" Wang Chuanchun asked.

Xu Xiu looked utterly bewildered: "What on earth is that?"

Meng Ziyi, standing nearby, pondered for a moment and said, "Nope~ But I've heard of... Tomb of the Ghost Blows!" *(Note: A pun involving the Chinese term for wampee/yellow-skin and a famous tomb-raiding novel/show).*

"..."

"..."

"..."

This single sentence instantly stunned the three of them for ten whole seconds!

The three of them felt as if a flock of crows was flying across their heads...

"The temperature just dropped instantly. Sister Meng, you really have a way with words!"

"I give up!"

"As expected of the conversation terminator, it has to be you!"

While Meng Ziyi still wore a bewildered expression, Xu Xiu snatched up his water hose and sprayed it straight at her face.

"Ah! You sprayed it right on my face." Meng Ziyi looked like a startled little fawn, covering her face with one hand and pointing at Xu Xiu with the other.

With that, Meng Ziyi picked up her own hose and sprayed it back at Xu Xiu, but because the wind had picked up, all the water was blown right back at her, soaking her thighs completely.

She sucked at it yet loved to play!

"It's all your fault~" Meng Ziyi pouted, looking very unhappy.

"Huh???"

Xu Xiu felt like he was hit by stray bullets while just lying down.

Wait, what did the wind blowing have anything to do with him?

"Don't try to pin this on me unjustifiably. If you're going to be like that, I'm going to have to keep my distance. In case you cause some other trouble later and try to frame me again."

Saying this, Xu Xiu took a few steps away from Meng Ziyi.

This was truly like failing to go to the bathroom and blaming the Earth's lack of gravitational pull!

Xu Xiu was afraid that if he stayed too close to Meng Ziyi, she might end up blaming him if she ever had children in the future!

Meng Ziyi laughed awkwardly: "What do you mean? Why are you backing away so far?"

As she spoke, Meng Ziyi raised her hose and sprayed at Xu Xiu once more.

This time she had figured out the trick: if you blocked the nozzle slightly with your hand, you could spray much farther.

Xu Xiu immediately picked up his hose to retaliate, and the two of them acted just like childish kids in kindergarten.

"Ah!!! Stop spraying, you got it in my eyes, and my hair is all soaked!"

Xu Xiu chuckled and retrieved his thick hose with a deeply satisfied look.

Little thing, if I don't show you my true power, you'll really think I'm a pushover!

Meng Ziyi was left in a thoroughly disheveled state by Xu Xiu, drenched from head to toe like a drowned rat.

She felt that Xu Xiu was simply the most annoying person ever!

She had made up her mind!!! She was going to ignore him for a full ten minutes!

Right at that moment, Xu Xiu aimed his hose toward the sky, and the falling water droplets formed a gorgeous rainbow bridge.

"Wow~ You're so beautiful!"

Xu Xiu offered a heartfelt compliment, and the corners of Meng Ziyi's mouth couldn't help but curve into a smug smile.

Hmph~

Guess the kid has an eye for beauty! I'll reluctantly deign to acknowledge you then~

Meng Ziyi straightened her hair, lifted her chin, and looked at Xu Xiu with a haughty expression.

"Huh?" Wang Churan's voice sounded from right behind Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi turned her head to look at Wang Churan behind her, then glanced back at Xu Xiu, only to realize she had completely misunderstood.

"You look like you're shooting a movie right now. Scenery, angles, composition—it can definitely be considered a classic."

"Really? Then can you take a picture of me? I want to see the final result."

"Sure, no problem at all. Leave it to me."

Without missing a beat, Xu Xiu pulled out his phone and took a photo of Wang Churan.

After taking the picture, Wang Churan hopped and skipped over to Xu Xiu's side, and the two of them stood head-to-head, chatting and laughing animatedly.
