My best friend is living a famine-stricken life; you're going crazy, I'm farming.

Why did Zhou Jingyi stay at the Xu family's house?

His explanation was that he was just passing by when Lin Cuiniang invited him to stay for a meal, and since he had nowhere else to eat, he stayed.

Yang Fenglan didn't say anything, but she didn't believe it. She secretly asked Xu Chunsheng, who said, "My nephew caught a rabbit and said he brought it to me to play with. What would a grown man like me play with a rabbit? I think it's for my sister to play with."

Speaking of this, Xu Chunsheng was still a little angry, "Yes, that's how it is. He said he would give it to me, but he threw the rabbit into my sister's room instead."

Yang Fenglan was both amused and exasperated, and casually comforted him, "Maybe he's holding a grudge against your sister for bullying him before, which is why he threw the rabbit into her room. That rabbit was eating and pooping at the same time, it was really smelly, he was deliberately trying to make your sister smell bad."

"Really?" Xu Chunsheng's eyes lit up. "I knew it! How could someone like my nephew be good to my sister?"

Yang Fenglan took the pastries she bought and stuffed them into Xu Chunsheng's hand, saying, "Don't tell your sister what we're talking about."

"Hmm!" Xu Chunsheng chuckled to himself, "If I let my sister's room stink for two days, she'll always say I smell bad."

"Go play, sweetie."

Xu Chunsheng took the pastries and then asked Zhou Jingwei to share one with him.

Yang Fenglan entered Xu Yingying's room.

Zhou Jingyi had already awkwardly run away.

She opened the desk drawer and saw several clay figures inside.

"Who did this?" Yang Fenglan asked, looking at Xu Yingying by the door.

"Of course I made it. Who else but me has the skills to do this?"

"Oh~" Yang Fenglan looked at Xu Yingying with a half-smile, "Close the door."

Xu Yingying hesitated for a moment, then closed the door and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Yang Fenglan sat at the desk, legs crossed, arms folded, but before she could speak, Xu Yingying spoke first.

“I know what you’re trying to say. My mother invited Zhou Jingyi to stay for dinner, and he came without any hesitation. When he had nothing to do, he saw the clay sculptures on my table and said he wanted to learn how to make them. Luckily, I had some clay left, so I let him make them himself.”

"Oh, I see." Yang Fenglan maintained her smile, somewhat skeptical of her best friend's nonsense.

Xu Yingying shrugged. "That's how it is."

"Okay." Yang Fenglan didn't press the matter any further.

Let nature take its course. If she keeps staring and asking, Zhou Jingyi will be shy and Xu Yingying will be embarrassed. Who knows what will happen?

"I have important business to discuss with you today."

"Just say what's important." Xu Yingying rolled her eyes, thinking that she would misunderstand and think that she was an old cow eating young grass.

Yang Fenglan took off the copper bracelet on her wrist. "I don't need this for now, you can have it."

"Give it to me?" That's the system, and she just gave it to her like that.

Xu Yingying wanted to pry open her best friend's brain to see if it was full of mush.

"Why are you giving this to me? It's your stuff, I don't need it."

"I don't need it either." Yang Fenglan really didn't need it.

It's not that you can't find treasure in the city, but everything you find already belongs to someone else, and you can't just rob it.

Xu Yingying refused.

Yang Fenglan insisted on giving it.

Long Aotian floated in mid-air, watching the two of them push him back and forth.

【enough! 】

[Is Lao Tzu some kind of evil spirit? Why is he making such a fuss?]

Since neither of you wants me, you might as well give me away. I think Shen Yu and Gu Ming are quite nice; you can give me to them.

"You wish!" Xu Yingying snatched the bracelet and put it on her wrist.

【…】

Long Aotian rolled his eyes, climbed into the bracelet, and thought, "I can't be bothered with you guys."

Yang Fenglan shook her head helplessly, "I'm not giving it to you for nothing. After the busy farming season, you can take your parents into the mountains to find wild fruits and nuts."

"Fine, I know you came to me because you have something to gain from it," Xu Yingying retorted.
