After traveling through time, she went to practice her way of making money

Admittedly, she also had a number of orchids planted in her own yard, but she never knew how to properly care for them. Because of this, she always thought orchids were extremely delicate flowers. After just a few days, the orchids in her yard looked dull and lifeless, far less beautiful and vibrant than those in Xiao Ran's yard.

Just then, Xiao Ran returned. As he walked into the courtyard with steady steps, he saw Su Shi'an squatting on the ground. She cautiously reached out and gently touched the leaves of an orchid. Her fingers trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of damaging the delicate flower. Then, she slowly grasped the orchid's stem and tried to pull it from the soil.

However, Su Shian's strength didn't seem to be enough. The orchid's roots were deeply embedded in the soil, and she couldn't pull it out. She frowned, bit her lip, and looked stubborn.

Then, she changed her posture, tightly grasped the orchid stem with both hands, and exerted all her strength. Her face flushed red, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Finally, she pulled the orchid out of the soil, but because she pulled too hard, she lost her balance and sat down on the ground. She looked at the orchid in her hand and smiled happily, with joy shining in her eyes.

Xiao Ran couldn't help but laugh at Su Shian's cute and clumsy appearance. He walked up to her and asked her gently, "Do you need help?"

Su Shi'an was so busy she didn't even look up, completely absorbed in digging the soil, as if the outside world had no bearing on her. Her focused expression was as if she were engaging in a silent conversation with the earth. She waved the small shovel relentlessly, again and again, each movement brimming with determination, driven by a single urge to unearth those precious orchids as quickly as possible.

The scarcity of rain in Yangguan Town had left the ground unusually compact, like a stubborn rock. Su Shi'an exerted all her skill, painstakingly unearthing two delicate orchids. They lay quietly in her palms, like two fragile lives, begging for her care. However, she knew this was only the beginning; much more work lay ahead.

At that moment, she inadvertently looked up and was surprised to find Xiao Ran squatting quietly beside her. At that moment, her heart suddenly jumped, as if struck by something. A panicked look instantly appeared on her face, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. She felt as if she had been caught red-handed, and the feeling of embarrassment and uneasiness suddenly surged in her heart.

However, Xiao Ran still maintained that warm smile, with a glint of concern in his eyes. He whispered, "An An, let me help!" The voice was gentle and powerful, as if it had a magical power that gradually calmed Su Shian's heart.

Su Shian was stunned for a moment, then asked curiously and cunningly, "Ah? Okay, you're not angry that I stole your orchid?" There was a hint of temptation in her tone, and she didn't know how Xiao Ran would react.

Xiao Ran gently shook his head and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? My things are all An An's. Take whatever you like." His words were full of doting and tolerance, which made Su Shi An feel extremely warm. Then, he began to dig the soil without hesitation, his skillful movements showing his familiarity and love for this land.

While digging the soil, Xiao Ran said, "But orchids are very delicate. An An, if you want some next time, just tell me and I'll help you dig. If you dig carelessly like this, it's easy to kill them. Also, look how dirty your hands are. Go wash them quickly. I'll finish digging in a while, and we'll plant these orchids together."

Listening to Xiao Ran's tender words, Su Shi'an's heart felt as if a stone had been dropped into it, rippling through it. An indescribable feeling of emotion suddenly surged within her. Her previously calm mind seemed to be swept away by a violent wind, and she was so excited that she almost lost her mind. She suddenly took a step forward, like a frightened deer, and wrapped her arms tightly around Xiao Ran's body, pouring out her gratitude without reservation. Like a flood that broke through the dam, it overflowed her entire face. She choked and said, "Xiao Ran, thank you!" Her voice trembled with emotion, and her crystal-like eyes sparkled with crystal tears, like the brightest stars in the night sky, emitting endless light.

Xiao Ran was startled by her sudden action, his entire body frozen in place as if struck by lightning, bewildered. His body began to tremble slightly, as if out of his control. An unfamiliar strange feeling spread from the depths of his heart throughout his body. He stammered, "No... Don't do this. This is all my fault... You... Please let me go first. I... I can't breathe."

Su Shian then realized that her behavior was a bit too impulsive, and her face instantly flushed with shyness. She somewhat awkwardly loosened her arms around Xiao Ran's waist, slowly stepped back, lowered her head, not daring to look Xiao Ran in the eye, and said softly, "Oh, okay... I'm sorry, I was too excited just now."

Although Su Shian had never truly been in love at that time and lacked relevant experience, she was still a flesh-and-blood person after all. She had seen others in love, and now that she had experienced the emotional ups and downs of life herself, she naturally felt a little flustered and embarrassed. However, it was this youthful yet real emotional experience that added a touch of color to her life and filled her with anticipation for the future.

Then, like a rabbit startled by a sudden noise, her petite figure tensed up, her once lively eyes now filled with terror. She spun around in a panic, like an arrow shot from a bow, and scurried away at lightning speed, as if something terrifying was chasing her.

Xiao Ran stood silently, his gaze fixed on her retreating figure. A complex tangle of emotions woven into his eyes, as if countless thoughts were surging through his mind like a tide. After a long moment, the still air still seemed to echo with the sound of the breeze her hastily departed. Only then did Xiao Ran slowly and softly murmur, "What a little girl! Always so willful, never growing up..."
