After traversing ninety-nine times, I'm invincible at growing vegetables!

Extra 3

As their living standards improved, their nutrition also gradually caught up.

Shen Minming grew taller like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and Kai Ran also grew quite a bit, but his height never surpassed Shen Minming's.

Shen Minming often teased her about this.

Until one day, Kai Ran suddenly developed a fever and was wiping his body with alcohol in his room.

Shen Minming, holding the medicine in her hand, suddenly pushed open the door: "Kairan, I've brought...you..."

He closed the door halfway through his sentence. He thought he had just seen a woman.

He leaned against the door, his hand over his heart, taking deep breaths.

At this moment, Kai Ran also put on her clothes and opened the door, her graceful figure faintly visible under her oversized shirt.

Shen Minming's face flushed red instantly, and she lowered her head to hand the medicine to Kairan.

The place I lived in before was a mixed bag, and a girl like me would always be bullied there.

So Kairan could only dress himself up as a boy, which was uncomfortable, but safe.

She got used to it and even when her life improved, she still maintained the habit of binding her chest.

Shen Minming didn't notice anything at all.

Thinking of Shen Minming's blushing face just now, Kai Ran smiled in a rather unkind way.

Hearing the giggling coming from the room, Shen Minming touched her bright red earlobes and hid in her room, feeling utterly humiliated.

After that incident, Kai Ran never bound her chest again, as it was still very uncomfortable.

After two days, the awkward atmosphere between the two seemed to have dissipated.

Gradually, their fame grew online.

One day, Shen Minming, who was having a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), suddenly said, "Kairan, let's form an alliance."

Let's call it the Hacker Alliance.

Kai Ran: ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

------------------------------

Relying on the reputation the two had previously built, the hacker alliance quickly gained a foothold in Country K.

Watching Shen Minming grow up day by day, Kai Ran's heart was unknowingly captivated.

The two, supporting each other, grew into adults.

Today is Shen Minming's 18th birthday, and Kairan dressed up specially for her.

She wanted to confess her feelings to Shen Minming today.

But the result was different from what she expected. As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Minming ran away.

She was a little frustrated, but she didn't give up. After being together for so long, how could she not know what kind of person Shen Minming was?

So every year on his birthday, Kai Ran would confess his love.

But every time you confess your feelings, you get rejected.

Finally, Shen Minming even managed to escape back.

Just as Kai Ran was about to give up, Shen Minming called again: "Firebird, come to China for the New Year."

Her heart, which had been about to give up, was suddenly stirred again: it seemed that he wasn't indifferent to her either.

Don't call her love-struck; it's just that the two of them have been through so much together, from supporting each other in childhood to the confusion of adolescence, and then to the irretrievable love they developed as adults.

These are all witnesses to their journey.

She didn't want to have any regrets in her old age.

Therefore, she considered this trip to China as her last chance, and also Shen Minming's last chance.

If it doesn't work out, she won't bother Shen Minming anymore.

After arriving in China, she felt that Shen Minming had changed.

Previously in Country K, Shen Minming was nothing more than a lifeless programming machine, but here he has become more vibrant and more like a human being.

In China, Kai Ran also made a few friends, including Jia Qing and her husband Jin Sheng.

The other party seems quite willing to act as a matchmaker, but their methods are rather questionable.

Looking at the room full of roses, she felt like she was being overwhelmed by pollen.

Finally, Shen Minming calmed down.

However, looking at the room full of roses, Kai Ran smiled, it seemed that the other party was not entirely clueless.

------------------------------

They originally intended to keep the other party hanging for a while longer, but unexpectedly, problems arose during the transfer of assets in Country K.

She had to go back to oversee things.

Just as the plane was about to take off, Shen Minming caught the flight, panting heavily.

"Sister, do you need a cook?"

The situation in Country K is not optimistic, as the hacker alliance has brought too much capital into Country K.

The existence of the hacker alliance has also elevated the status of Country K.

How could they let them leave so easily?

As soon as they landed, they were immediately taken into custody, under the pretense of being taken as guests.

Shen Minming, carrying her luggage in one hand and holding Kairan's hand with the other, calmly walked away with them.

"Let's not go with them," Kai Ran and Shen Minming whispered to each other, after all, they didn't know what the other party was up to.

Shen Minming squeezed Kairan's hand: "Sister, you have to believe me."

Despite being called "sister" the whole way, Kai Ran had no resistance to his repeated calls of "sister."

The two were taken to a place with no signal and placed under surveillance.

Shen Minming acted as if nothing had happened, making different kinds of food for Kairan every day.

Like a diligent little bee, following Kairan around.

It was as if the two of them had returned to the time when they relied on each other for survival in the slums.

Why does this little bee always want to fly onto Kai Ran's lips and kiss her?

The physical contact between the two gradually increased, but Shen Minming always kept it brief.

Their relationship is ambiguous, and the final layer of ambiguity has not yet been broken.

These carefree, ambiguous days passed for a while longer.

Kai Ran finally couldn't hold back any longer and started looking around the room for any usable equipment.

She needs to make contact with the outside world; she has many other things to do.

"Sister, are you tired of being with me?" Shen Minming looked at Kairan pitifully.

Because of his appearance, Kai Ran has compromised many times.

She does enjoy the time they have alone together, but now isn't the right time.

"Don't stop me, there's still so much mess to clean up outside."

The fact that the K country government dared to imprison the two is tantamount to a provocation against the hacker alliance.

How can this be tolerated?

Helpless, Shen Minming took out his phone from his pocket and made a call: "We can start now."

Kai Ran: ? ? ? ? So your phone wasn't taken away in the first place? ? ? ?

K Country Government: Fine, fine, so we're just tools, huh?

That evening, Shen Minming and Kairan were picked up by Gabriel.

Back at their house in Country K, Gabriel naturally prepared to go inside.

But Shen Minming suddenly closed the door, hitting him on the nose.

Gabriel: No, no, no, I'm the tool.

Shen Minming carefully prepared a dinner for Kairan.

This was their first meal at home.

As night fell, Kairan sensed an ambiguous atmosphere throughout the room.

The only thing missing between them was that thin veil of secrecy.

She was ready.

"Want to go to the balcony to admire the moon, sister?" Shen Minming was dressed quite formally.

But going to the balcony in a suit and tie to admire the moon late at night, isn't that clearly telling others that he's about to make a big move?
