"You don't need to do anything, we can handle it ourselves. Just get the address and background information."
"No rush, I'll be heading to Nantong in a few days to pick up the cultivation technique that the Lee guy modified for . We can go together then."
"Really, there's no need."
"There's a need. We can't let the Lee guy run back and forth for such matters, can we? I'm too lazy to go myself, and you guys might not be straightforward enough. I'll send a few of my guys to go with you. That way, the Lee guy and I can stay in the village for a bit, have so chats, and exchange thoughts."
"Three-eyed, you're really living in a dream."
"Don't underestimate it, we have to collaborate in the future anyway. Damn, thinking about Fengdu again, I just got my mindset right."
"Alright, let's do it that way. You can bring more herbal seeds, and I'll see if they can be planted here."
"No problem, I'll bring Mr. Tian along to guide you. But let clarify first, this kind of herb can't be planted in regular fields."
"What kind of field do we need?"
"The more mysterious, the better. In legends, spirit grass is often guarded by mythical creatures. It's not just a baseless rumor."
Tan Wenbin gazed towards the Peach Forest:
"No worries, let Mr. Tian plant there. He'll definitely be satisfied with that place, might not even want to leave."
"If you were living in the ancestral hos of the Qin and Liu Families, I'd believe you, but you're living in the mundane countryside now. What kind of spectacle can you create?"
"You'll know when you get here. I'll treat you with flower cakes made from peach blossoms then."
The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a mont, and just when Tan Wenbin suspected a bad signal had cut off the call, a voice sounded angrily from the receiver:
"You're damn good at digging pits for again!
Now I finally understand why the righteous people in ancient tis were always at odds with eunuchs!"
"Beep..."
Tan Wenbin hung up the phone himself.
Three-eyed cursed him, but he really wasn't angry, nor did he feel embarrassed to be angry.
After all, it was because of his own doings that Three-eyed's entire family ended up listed on Emperor Fengdu's underworld employnt list.
Back ho, he saw Zhou Yunyun standing on the dam.
At first glance, Tan Wenbin noticed that Zhou Yunyun's pajamas were made from old clothes. Usually, it didn't seem like much, but compared to the set worn by Chen Lin, it was quite lacking.
The fact was, it was his own oversight. He didn't spend much ti with Zhou Yunyun usually. Plus, there hadn't been a chance to see her in pajamas before.
"Yunyun, what's your size? I'll have soone make you a few sets of clothes."
"Binbin, Linlin is missing. I found her not in bed when I woke up, and she's not in the bathroom either."
They both spoke unrelated topics simultaneously, then:
"She and Ah You went out for a walk to enjoy the moonlight." Tan Wenbin looked up at the sky, full of stars with the moon obscured, "Oh, they went to count stars."
"I have enough clothes, Auntie bought many sets, no need for more."
The two exchanged a glance and smiled.
Tan Wenbin moved forward: "Tell your size, or I'll asure by hand."
His grandmother had a knack for designing clothes, and Tan Wenbin thought he could coax her into designing two sets for Yunyun. Those kinds of clothes truly felt different when worn.
Zhou Yunyun nudged him with her elbow: "What nonsense are you talking at night."
Tan Wenbin: "But in the dayti, it seems even less fitting."
Zhou Yunyun pursed her lips and asked again: "They really went out? Aren't they supposed to dislike each other?"
"Why, did you notice that too?"
"It's quite obvious. They're not the sa type of people at all. I won't do introductions like this anymore."
"Maybe they're just being contrary." It was chilly outside, so Tan Wenbin pushed Zhou Yunyun inside the house, "By the way, how did you beco good friends with Chen Lin?"
Regardless of Chen Lin's negative aspect, her positive side really didn't match well with Zhou Yunyun.
Zhou Yunyun quietly explained, "Linlin is actually very nice, she cares for a lot. I don't have many friends at school..."
There was the incident with the curse that involved a roommate as the culprit. After that, Zhou Yunyun stopped being the class monitor and participating in club activities, focusing solely on her studies.
Tan Wenbin rembered, when he went to her school to find her later, only that rich girl he had rescued from Anhui was occasionally seen hanging around Zhou Yunyun.
Now thinking back, his mom often invited Zhou Yunyun over for als and shopping because she understood this layer of things.
As her boyfriend, he'd really been quite derelict in his duties.
So only people like Chen Lin wouldn't mind others' words, and Yunyun would tolerate her intentionally outgoing personality.
At this point, footsteps sounded outside, and Chen Lin appeared at the door.
Looking at the two sitting on the bed inside, Chen Lin imdiately bowed her head and apologized, "I was reckless and intruded."
After that, she quickly turned around and left, closing the door.
This scene was in stark contrast to the previous Chen Lin, who kept asking "did you guys do it yet".
Zhou Yunyun: "Why does it feel like Linlin..."
Tan Wenbin: "It's quite normal. People, regardless of gender, always tend to disguise themselves at certain tis."
Zhou Yunyun: "Have you ever disguised yourself in front of ?"
Tan Wenbin: "Let's get married when I finish my internship. I like kids now, even if we have to pay fines, let's have more."
Zhou Yunyun's face turned red, she spat, "Tsk, you're always like this, never serious."
Tan Wenbin spread his hands, acting innocent: "I'm just trying to get your attention. As a class monitor, I thought you liked this kind of thing, so I deliberately sat next to the teacher's desk and acted naughty."
