Just as I was preparing for the college entrance exam, my childhood sweetheart awakened the Wa-senpa

Chapter 35 I'll be a dog if I lie!

"You're absolutely guaranteed not to grow any apples this way!"

Chen Chen asserted this.

To be fair, what he said is completely correct.

However, honest advice is often hard to hear, especially when you've only just met someone, so it's not always convenient to say such things.

For example, Niu Zibin, didn't he just stay silent?

"Why do you say it's not possible? Why is it not possible? Didn't you see how much effort Xiuxiu put into growing apples?" Upon hearing this, Yan Yiyan turned around, put her hands on her hips, glared at him, and shouted angrily.

But if you're putting your efforts in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the less effective it will be.

Chen Chen shook his head: "First of all, I must make a point about common sense. Unless it is a grafted sapling, almost no fruit tree can bear fruit in the first year after it is planted. So it is absolutely impossible to eat apples from these trees this fall."

Yan Yiyan was stunned upon hearing this.

Oh, there's such a thing?

"How many years will that take?" Cheng Xiuxiu leaned closer to Chen Chen. Although she looked a little unhappy, with her lips puffed out, she didn't show it very obviously.

"Apple... uh, two or three years?" Chen Chen scratched his head, giving an ambiguous answer.

"But the apples you grow might not be enough for two or three years!" he pointed out.

Why?

"Because your planting method is completely wrong."

Chen Chen pointed at the few small trees and shouted:

"Have you considered that planting these saplings so densely might cause them to compete for nutrients and grow very slowly? And even if they do manage to grow, how are they supposed to grow with so little space? Are they all crammed together like penguins hibernating? You have such a big yard, and you can't even spare a little space for apple trees?"

Upon hearing this, the girl turned her head and stared blankly at the few small saplings.

I've never grown anything before, and I always thought that any plant could grow by simply burying it in the soil and watering it. I never imagined there were so many intricacies involved.

If someone hadn't reminded her today, she might have really been staring blankly at these fruit trees that never grow big in the fall.

"What should we do then?" she asked instinctively.

"What do you think we can do?"

As Chen Chen spoke, he looked around.

Soon, he found a shovel, scooped it up, and headed towards the sapling.

"Hey, what's going on here?"

"You got a good deal today. It's just that it's not too hot today, otherwise I would have to pay you your wages."

As he spoke, Chen Chen bent down and, with a whoosh, began to dig into the soil.

The boy's shadow was elongated by the sunlight, casting a slanted beam in front of the girl's eyes. His cheek was outlined in a clean arc by warm light spots, and glistening sweat trickled down from his face.

Lin Jianlu stared blankly at Chen Chen. This was one of the few times she felt he was reliable. Although his work movements didn't seem very efficient, at least it made her feel at ease, didn't it?

And then the next second—

[The battle of puppy love ends in four defeats, morale drops by 1, and a certain girl's affection for Chen Chen increases!]

Holy crap, how come someone actually has feelings for Chen Chen!

……

"Can I come to your house to play often in the future?"

"Of course! I've always been looking forward to people coming to play."

"Okay! Bye-bye!"

"Bye-Bye!"

"By the way, Tyrannosaurus, just you wait, I'll snatch Xiuxiu away from you sooner or later!"

"Hmph, overestimating yourself. You'll see if you can take it from me!"

It was a little after 5 p.m. After seeing Chen Chen and his group off, Lin Jianlu and Cheng Xiuxiu took a walk together in the front yard of the villa.

"Will this Chen Chen guy come over and harass us often from now on?"

As Lin Baolong, Lin Jianlu asked questions that fit his character.

"Probably." Cheng Xiuxiu smiled, seemingly in a good mood.

"But that's not harassment, we're just here to have fun."

"Isn't he trying to pursue you?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you say you didn't want to be pursued? Otherwise, why did you hire me?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you still with him...?"

The girl in the white dress suddenly turned around, her long hair flowing as her bright eyes stared intently at Lin Jianlu.

"What else is there to say to him?"

Her pink lips trembled slightly, and the girl looked a little flustered, as if she had suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Lin Jianlu was startled, but out of trust for her employer, she answered truthfully:

"I just...felt that their attitude was a bit strange?"

Yes, it was strange. Although she had rejected him three times, she never showed a decisive attitude each time. She always gave people the feeling that "you can try again and maybe you can win me over." Even when her "boyfriend" was present, she was still like that.

To be honest, girls like that can easily give off a bitchy vibe, but Lin Jianlu would never describe them that way. After all, the other party is her employer, and she still needs to earn that five... no, forty-nine thousand nine hundred yuan!

Damn it, if they had known the client was Cheng Xiuxiu, they wouldn't have needed to spend that extra hundred yuan!

But that hundred yuan seemed to foreshadow something.

After all, Lin Jianlu has now realized that Cheng Xiuxiu does not seem to be a good girl.

"Is that how it is?"

After she reminded her, the girl in the white dress did not show any remorse or apology. Instead, she suddenly curled up her lips and smiled very happily.

……

At 7 p.m., she arrived at the subway station, exhausted, and then called Chen Chen to come pick her up.

What? Why not take the bus or ride a shared bike?

First, she fell off her bike and is afraid to ride again for at least a short period of time; she has already mentioned this once.

Secondly, even on Saturdays, buses are always packed with people, that's for sure.

Finally, the electric scooter that Chen Chen is riding now originally belonged to her. Why would she choose to take the bus herself when she has free labor? Is she stupid?

"beep……"

"beep……"

"beep……"

After a few busy tones, Chen Chen answered the phone.

"What's up? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?" His voice sounded a little impatient, and it seemed he was quite reluctant to answer the call.

"I'm about to go home, come pick me up." Lin Jianlu got straight to the point.

"Where?"

"Where else could it be but a subway station?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Then... then wait a moment, I'll head out to pick you up right away!"

"Wait a moment!"

"what?"

"Why does it sound a bit noisy over there?"

"Noise, noise, noise... What's all the noise about! I've been studying diligently at home all day and haven't been to any noisy places!"

"Really?"

"Really! Why would I lie to you?"

"I'll allow you to repeat yourself, are you sure you've been home all day?"

"I'm absolutely certain, I've been home all day. I'm not kidding!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Chen, who was sitting on the electric scooter, was patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a blonde girl with her arms crossed, smiling slyly and charmingly.

"at home?"

"Um...hehehe, I just arrived...just arrived..."

"It took about ten seconds?"

"Woof woof woof woof!!!"
