Chapter 20

Yu Heng really wanted to throw a tantrum, but he couldn’t offend the person in front of him. In the end, he compromised and pulled Yi Ke under a small tree on the edge of the field. Then, he spread the weeds he had cut on the ground for her to sit on. He used the remaining grass to weave a few times and made a small bamboo hat to cover Yi Ke’s head.

“Will this do?”

Although Yi Ke muttered, “So simple.” She still sat on the straw mat.

This was a small shady place. Occasionally, there would be wind blowing. Although it was not as good as an air-conditioned room, it was better than being exposed to the sun like just now.

Seeing that she was finally satisfied and did not cause trouble, Yu Heng heaved a sigh of relief and continued to work in the fields.

Yu Heng and Yi Shi were working in the field. Yi Ke was sitting beside them, playing music and resting. The three of them had also reached a strange harmony. Yi Shi finished her work and stood up.

She didn’t have much to do at home. Yesterday, her mother had already tidied up most of the weeds. Today, she came over to water them and clean up the fish that had escaped the net. She originally wanted to spend some time alone with Yu Heng, but she didn’t expect Yi Ke to ruin it.

However, Yi Shi was quick-witted and thought of a way to gain favor.

Yi Ke was spoiled and willful, not understanding of others. At this moment, as long as she went to help Yu Heng with some work, it would show that she was reasonable and knew how to take care of others. When the two of them were compared, Yu Heng’s impression of her would naturally increase.

Yi Shi smiled to herself and thanked Yi Ke for the good opportunity. She walked to Yu Heng’s side, picked up the weeds he had just pulled, and carried them to the side. “Yu Heng, I’m done with my work at home. Let me help you.”

Before Yu Heng could refuse, Yi Shi started to tidy up. “Don’t reject me. Your fields are large, and you don’t know how long it will take for you to do it alone.”

Yu Heng said “thank you” in a low voice. He wanted to help Yi Shi and her mother more in the future.

Yi Ke sat under the shade of the tree and watched the two of them work. Of course, she knew that this was the fastest way to improve Yu Heng’s favorability, but that was not in line with her personality. Moreover, she was wearing a dress. What would it look like if she bent down to pluck the grass?

She could only sigh at how Yi Shi was indeed the female protagonist of the book. She was willing to go all out. She didn’t rest even under the sun and instead helped others with their work.

Yi Ke was bored, and seeing that the fields looked especially good against the blue sky and white clouds, she took out her phone to take a photo. The two people in the field ignored her and worked hard. When they were done, they realized that Yi Ke was taking photos.

“What are you filming?” Yi Shi was unhappy. She was covered in sweat from working in the field, and her legs were covered in mud. She looked very embarrassed. Which girl didn’t care about her appearance? Of course, she didn’t want to be recorded by Yi Ke.

“I didn’t take a photo of you.” Yi Ke waved her phone. “I took a landscape photo. Do you want to take a look?”

Yi Shi looked at Yi Ke in embarrassment. She was in a sorry state in the field, while Yi Ke was sitting there leisurely playing with her phone and taking photos. The two of them were simply like princesse and maidservant.

Yu Heng, who was beside her, was the golden thigh she wanted to hug tightly. Yi Shi had forgotten what she had said. Men were sensory animals. They would prefer the beautiful opposite sex in the same environment.

And for some reason, ever since Yi Ke came, she felt that Yu Heng had been distracted. Yi Shi bit her lower lip, and her inferiority complex reached its peak.

“I’m done. It’s all thanks to your help. Let’s go,” Yu Heng said to Yi Shi after tidying up the last bit of weeds.

Yi Shi looked up pitifully. “Yu Heng, can you help me? My leg seems to be cramping.”

Yu Heng didn’t refuse. No matter what, Yi Shi had helped him. Yu Heng got onto the plot first and reached out to pull Yi Shi up.

Yi Ke had witnessed everything. She raised her eyebrows. Was the bond and attraction between the male and female leads so great? He didn’t even care if she sat here. If she remembered correctly, there was a saying in this small village that men and women shouldn’t touch each other.

Yi Shi was pulled up and deliberately glanced at Yi Ke, as if she was showing off that she and Yu Heng were holding hands. Yu Heng knew nothing. He was very hungry and only wanted to go home and eat.

“I’m done. Let’s go.” Yu Heng strode over to Yi Ke and brought her back. However, for some reason, this young lady sat on the ground and didn’t get up.
