Yu Xiang wanted to spit the candy on the ground, but the milky fragrance in her mouth made her reluctant.

There was also a sugar stall in the village, but it was not as delicious as this candy. In the end, Yu Xiang was defeated by Yi Ke’s sugar-coated bullet and resigned to her fate as she brought her to the field.

After bringing Yi Ke over, Yu Xiang pointed at him timidly. “My brother is there. Miss, I’ll go back first. Otherwise, my brother will scold me. Be careful not to fall.”

Yi Ke waved her hand to indicate that she understood and stuffed two more candies into Yu Xiang’s mouth. Then, she carefully lifted her skirt and walked around the mud pit towards Yu Heng.

Yi Ke walked slowly and was not familiar with the road. When she arrived, Yi Shi had already been in the field for a long time.

Yi Shi lived in the countryside before she transmigrated into the book. Later, she went to university and left the village. After graduation, she worked as a clerk in a small company. She had two younger brothers in her original family. Before she went to university and left home, she did all the farming. This also allowed her to adapt quickly after traveling to a small village. She led a good life with her mother.

She had seen many young people like Yu Heng in the past. His family life was difficult. He had sick parents and young siblings.

As far as she knew, Yu Heng usually had to wash and cook by himself. Sometimes, he didn’t even bother to mend his torn clothes. If she wanted to capture this man’s heart, she had to give him care and companionship.

According to her memory of the content of the novel, Yu Heng was a person who valued relationships very much. As long as she took good care of him at this time, Yu Heng would definitely treat her twice as well when he became successful in the future.

With this thought in mind, Yi Shi used all kinds of methods to deal with him. She had specially woken up early today to make pancakes. There were some green onions mixed in the white flour, and it was so oily and golden that even her mother couldn’t help but eat two in the morning.

When Yi Shi arrived at the field, she immediately saw Yu Heng. She walked over generously and took out a pancake from the basket, handing it to Yu Heng. “Yu Heng, this is the pancake I cooked this morning. I want to share it with the neighbors. Do you want to eat some?”

Yu Heng stood up straight. Sweat flowed down his forehead, and his handsome eyes sparkled under the sunlight. He was very kind to Yi Shi. “Thank you, but no.”

Yi Shi was the prettiest girl in the village. She was beautiful and capable. If such a girl were to marry into a better family, he could not have any gossip with Yi Shi and delay her for the rest of her life.

Yi Shi was not discouraged after being rejected. She handed Yu Heng a water bottle. “Then drink some water. You’ve been busy all morning.”

She seemed to be afraid that Yu Heng would not take it, so she quickly explained, “When my mother fell and injured herself, you carried her to the hospital. Otherwise, she might not have been able to keep her foot. I want to thank you.”

Yu Heng saw the sincerity in her eyes and heard her reason. It was really not easy to refuse. He also understood why Yi Shi treated him so well, so he took the bottle and took a few sips.

Seeing that he had finally accepted her kindness, Yi Shi took out more pancakes. “Next time you go into the mountains, can you help me catch a few pheasants? I heard that this wild game is quite popular in the city. I want to raise a few.”

Yu Heng paused for a moment, and Yi Shi didn’t rush him. A smart woman had to know how to show weakness. She couldn’t force a man to do something.

Moreover, her request was not too much. It was equivalent to Yu Heng exchanging a few chickens for a few pancakes. She had profited, so it would not cause Yu Heng too much psychological burden.

Moreover, with Yu Heng’s family background, his breakfast was only porridge or coarse grain every day. At his age, he had a big appetite. Yi Shi didn’t believe that Yu Heng could refuse. She had even pulled open the cloth covering the pancake. The fragrance of oil and noodles surged up, and even her cravings were aroused.

“Okay, I’ll bring it for you next time.”

As expected, Yu Heng didn’t refuse. He washed his hands by the stream and sat beside Yi Shi, eating the pancake with plain water.

A gentle breeze blew across the field. The girl’s hair was blown, and the green wheat field bent down. Yu Heng chewed on the pancake, emptying himself for once.

Until he saw a familiar figure in the distance.
