At that moment, a student from the agricultural sector who had been watching the screen shattered gently.

Tao Er hadn't expected that while the repeated failures of his experiments were disheartening, a video he casually scrolled through was actually subtly criticizing him. This was simply too much to bear, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "My family is on edge. A little kid can grow tomatoes, while my experimental field is barren."

The live stream audience was laughing uncontrollably. Some admired his talent, while others teased him for not pleasing the plants. He grumbled a bit, only then realizing how eerily quiet the laboratory was.

His fellow students cast sympathetic glances his way. Tao swallowed hard, his neck cracking, as he slowly turned to look at his intern professor.

Ling Xiao was carefully analyzing the growth of a group of plants, not even looking up: "Should I grant you some leave? Go ask that kid how to treat his mental retardation at his age?"

Tao Er didn't dare utter a single word, looking incredibly cowardly despite his fellow disciples' attempts to suppress their laughter.

Ling Xiao finished his work and walked over to Tao Er: "Let me see what the tomato that broke your defenses looks like?"

Tao Ershao blushed and reluctantly opened the live stream.

The children were gathered around looking at the seedlings that Wen Ze had planted. Ling Xiao pushed up his glasses and also showed a hint of surprise.

This is no worse than what he grows.

Not to boast, but as the chief of the Imperial Main Star Academy of Sciences, all the plants he produces are top-quality. He is currently researching a topic related to maintaining seed viability.

The experiment calculated temperature, humidity, nutrients, and many other influencing factors, yet a first-class bud was grown in this little-known orphanage.

Ling Xiao's silver eyelashes cast a shadow as he stared intently, but when he saw a familiar face, his pupils involuntarily turned back into vertical pupils and dilated once more.

He clenched his fingers, thinking to himself.

So, you were here all along.

Tao Er saw that Ling Xiao had been watching for a long time without saying anything, and thought he was going to say something sarcastic. But seeing that he didn't say a word, he immediately packed up his materials and left the laboratory.

An intern rubbed his eyes: "Wow, I saw Professor Ling leave early!"

……

The seedlings grew vigorously under the gentle care of the soil, and even sprouts actually emerged from the other nearby flowerpots. The other little ones that hadn't sprouted were getting restless, repeatedly demanding to be moved to a different flowerpot so that their seeds could also germinate.

Although they weren't as good-looking as Wen Ze, they were still enough to surprise these energetic cubs.

Xiao Liang flexed his wrists, gave an "evil" smile, and thought it would be a good opportunity to train these little brats.

The children were complaining bitterly, but Miao Yang was a little different.

His attention has been focused on the tomato seeds ever since they sprouted.

It smells so good. Just thinking about it made his mouth water. Even the most fragrant natural plants couldn't compare to this little seedling; it had a fatal attraction for him.

But he could only restrain himself, knowing how important this little seedling was to Wenze.

The tomato seedlings grew day and night, and soon they became small plants. Miao Yang's self-control also collapsed. Until one dark and windy day, his mouth finally came close.

"Just one bite, just one bite." He licked it, then couldn't resist eating a leaf, his eyes lighting up as soon as it entered his mouth.

The second bite, the third bite...

"Miao Yang!" Wen Ze yelled, startling Miao Yang.

His eyes were brimming with tears of anger. Seeing Miao Yang's stiff expression only fueled his rage. His little seedling had been bitten several times, and now it looked frail and about to collapse.

This time I was even more angry.

He lunged at Miao Yang, intending to punch him, but Miao Yang's body went limp like a noodle, as if he had fainted.

Wen Ze loosened his grip, and Miao Yang instantly broke free, leaping onto the wardrobe like an eel.

Miao Yang's heart was pounding. Seeing Wen Ze's angry expression, he still had the leisure to savor the seedlings he had just eaten.

Wen Ze was furious. He started shaking the wardrobe without thinking, and the other two little ones were woken up by the noise and saw this scene.

"Aze, what's wrong?" Leng Fan quickly transformed back into human form, holding his hand to stop him from acting impulsively. As soon as Wen Ze spoke, tears fell: "He ate my tomatoes, boohoo!"

The two little ones were speechless when they saw Miao Miao's body, which had been chewed up beyond recognition, and looked at Miao Yang with reproachful eyes.

Miao Yang was somewhat incoherent, stammering, "I...I didn't mean to, it smelled too good..."

I just couldn't resist...

But in Wen Ze's eyes, this was not just a plant, but also his way of making money. No beastman could tolerate his business failing halfway through.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He bared his sharp teeth, which inexplicably made Miao Yang tremble with fear.

"Miao Yang! Apologize!" Leng Fan said quickly, seeing that things were not going well.

"I'm so sorry." After saying that, Miao Yang deflated like a punctured balloon and slumped down.

Wenze glared at him, looking at his seedlings that had been eaten with a pitiful expression.

Waaah, I want to cry.

This time, he simply hugged the basin to his chest and sobbed until dawn.

The next day, Wen Ai looked at the guilty Miao Yang, Wen Ze with dark circles under his eyes, and Miao with his new look, and fell silent.

He took a few deep breaths silently and asked, "Miao Yang, what's going on?" His voice was more stern than usual.

Miao Yang glanced cautiously at Wen Ze's expression before saying, "Last night, I ate Wen Ze's Miaomiao..."

Did you apologize?

"Um……"

“Xiao Ze…” Wen Ai was a little troubled by this. He knew Wen Ze’s personality and knew that it was impossible for him to forgive Miao Yang.

"Yangyang, go eat breakfast first." Miao Yang agreed, but felt that the food today did not taste as good as usual.

Wen Ai squatted down and patted Wen Ze's head: "It's okay, the seedlings will grow back."

Spoiling Wenze made him less cautious than before, and he developed his own little temper. His little mouth was so sharp it could hold an oil bottle. He glanced at his Miaomiao and showed a pained expression.

"Xiaoze, I want to apologize to you again on behalf of Miao Yang." Miao Yang is also a child who is heartbreaking. Premature babies are a lot of trouble. I don't know if he didn't eat well when he was pregnant, but after he was born, his appetite was frighteningly large. His parents were also heartless. They couldn't afford to feed him, so they abandoned him at the gate of the orphanage.

Wen Ai was also heartbroken when she heard Xiao Liang say it, and in order to make Wen Ze less angry, she told Wen Ze this secret.

After hearing this story, Wen Ze finally understood why Yang Yang, despite being so small, could eat as much as Xiao Fan.

Even though he had suffered greatly in the past, he hadn't been abandoned by his mother. His anger towards Miao Yang lessened somewhat.

Wen Ai then shifted the topic to the tomatoes he had grown: "Xiao Ze will definitely be able to grow some delicious tomatoes. Yang Yang is already craving them even before they've sprouted."

Hearing this, Wen Ze smiled shyly, pursing his lips.
