Ten diligent days: the fields are still

At the end of the evening, the two parents finally got home from get off work, still with large and small bags in their hands.

"How's dinner? Yuan Sheng!" The two fathers went to the kitchen to help, and the two mothers reclassified the gifts and put them away to be used for visiting relatives and friends during the festive season tomorrow.

"How do you watch the agricultural channel? What about that popular TV series that was recently released? What's it called? Yes, yes, give me the remote." Yuan Lai's mother grabbed the remote control, turned off the screen, and returned to the homepage to search for TV series.

Lin Tingting carried out a large round table by himself and asked in confusion, "Hey? Who locked up my buddy? I was watching the show with great interest!"

Yuan Lai quietly pointed at her mother.

Lin Tingting fell silent immediately and began to compliment the plot of the TV series that was playing. "Oh, Auntie, you have really good taste. Many people in our school are also following this drama! It's a pity that it didn't catch the summer vacation."

"Yeah, I think it's quite good. Look at this prince, he's such a piece of shit. You said the throne was a foregone conclusion, but he still framed his brother. Fortunately, the female lead is smart!" Yuan Lai's mother and Lin Tingting's mother discussed the plot while serving the dishes. They wished they could get into the TV and help the male lead charge into battle.

Yuan Lai and Lin Tingting looked at each other, opened their phones tacitly, reopened the farming app, and put their heads together to watch it with great interest.

After Yuan Sheng finished preparing the last dish, he came out to see a funny scene in the restaurant where everyone was talking about their own things.

"Let's eat."

Yuan Sheng sighed, this family would have to break up without him!

Yuan Lai's mind kept emerging with the scene of ten people in Houdoumen scrambling for food. At that time, she always encouraged Hongbao to ask for food, but she was scared back by Haohao every time.

Yuan Lai couldn't help but laugh out loud, recalling himself during that period, when he spent the whole day teasing dogs and sheep.

"Lailai, what are you laughing at?" Lin Tingting's mother served her soup.

Yuan Lai stood up and took it, "Auntie, it's okay, I just thought of something."

"By the way, aren't you guys your junior year this year? Do you have an idea whether you're going to continue with the postgraduate entrance exam or go straight to finding a job after graduation?"

Lin Tingting raised her hand, her face brimming with confidence. "Of course I'll start working straight after graduation. I've already made up my mind: I'll work for a few years to save some money, then start my own business, open an entertainment company, and then gather all the handsome boys I like. Then, hehe..."

"What are you humming? All you have in your mind are handsome guys. You never even have a relationship," Lin Tingting's father turned to look at Yuan Lai, "What about you?"

Yuan Lai's mind was blank. She had never really thought about the future. After all, she had always followed the routine: going to school when she was supposed to, taking holidays when she was supposed to, and taking exams when she was supposed to. She didn't even know what she was good at or what she could do.

"I... haven't decided yet. I'll probably continue with the postgraduate entrance exam."

"That's fine, let's take it one step at a time."

Yuan Lai felt very uneasy during this reunion dinner. Sometimes, even if someone said something unintentionally, he would ponder it over in his mind for a long time.

After waiting for a long time for Lin Tingting's family to leave and his parents to go back to their bedroom to sleep, Yuan Sheng sneaked into the game room, and then Yuan Lai slowly returned to his bedroom.

Lying on her soft bed, Yuan Lai's mind raced, reminiscing about the past. For so many years, she seemed to have drifted with the crowd, always following in the footsteps of others, never truly developing her own ideas or pursuits. She seemed to have never seriously considered the future, simply accepting life's arrangements as they came. This state of mind left her feeling somewhat lost and uneasy, and she began to wonder if she should change and find her own path in life.

A bright moon hung in the sky, casting a cool light and illuminating the entire room through the window.

Suddenly, Yuan Lai opened his eyes abruptly, a look of horror on his face.

She slowly sat up, her eyes fixed on the window, as if she had seen something terrifying. Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat covered her forehead, and her body was trembling slightly. The moonlight outside the window made everything clearly visible, but it also gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.

The branches shook twice, and a figure climbed onto the balcony and sat on the window frame.

"I found you."

Whenever Yuan Lai saw that figure, he would think of the long cut on his chest and the bandages all over his body.

"Under the niche."

"Oh, you didn't lose your memory?" Kanxia jumped down from the balcony, flicked on the light in the room, and stared at Yuan Lai's face with interest. "Strange, how could Hua Xuan make such a low-level mistake. Oh, I didn't expect you to be quite good-looking, but not as good-looking as Cheng Xuan. In my eyes, Cheng Xuan is a great beauty, and you are just ordinary at best."

Yuan Lai was speechless. This guy came here just to harm her?

"Is there anything you need? If not, take care and I won't see you off."

The situation under the niche looked much better than when it was behind the steep door, but those eyes made people feel scared involuntarily.

"Don't rush to chase me away. I just came here to ask, do you know where Huaxuan went? I asked everyone, but no one knows where he went."

Yuan Lai's eyes widened, and he looked up in disbelief, his voice filled with astonishment and confusion: "What did you say? You said you didn't know where he was? How is that possible!"

Her face turned pale and her lips trembled slightly, as if she could not accept this fact.

Did something happen to Qi Rong?

The man under the shrine looked at Yuan Lai strangely, "Look at what you said. Although I was his savior, I still need to know his whereabouts at all times. But you, aren't you two good friends? Didn't he tell you?"

Yuan Lai shook his head, "No, he hasn't appeared for a long time."

"Alas, another wasted trip." The man under the shrine showed an extremely disappointed look and paced around the room, looking very anxious. "Should I go look for that person? But I can't see him now! And Qi Rong still owes me his life!"

Yuan Lai didn't know when Qi Rong owed Kanxia a life, but she intuitively felt that it was related to herself, especially the fact that she inexplicably traveled to Houdoumen.

"Well, can I go with you?"

He stopped at the niche, his eyes lighting up. "Alright, that guy hates showing off his abilities in front of you. If you were here, I don't think he would dare to use force. So, wait for me at your door tomorrow and I'll pick you up."

"Sister! Who are you talking to?" Yuan Sheng came out of the game room and went upstairs to rest. Somehow he looked in the direction of Yuan Lai's room and saw a shadow coming through the door frame.

The man under the ken reacted extremely quickly and jumped out of the window in an instant.

"See you tomorrow!"

Yuan Lai closed the window before opening the door for Yuan Sheng.

Yuan Sheng looked into the room but found nothing.

"What are you looking at? Playing games so late, are you still going to use up your eyes?"

Yuan Sheng retracted his head and chuckled twice, "Sister, I'm working hard in secret. It's already half past eleven, go to bed."
