Lou Shaotang pretended not to know anything and picked up a chicken leg that was cut white and placed it in my bowl. He smiled at me gently, "Eat it."

I knew very well that he was preventing me from hurting the child and myself. I also knew that the child was innocent and that I should not do this to her, that I had loved her so much before that I would give her all the beauty in the world. But now, thinking about how her father is Di Jin, I hate him.

Seeing that he was so considerate towards me, Lou Anqi half complained, half spoiled as she said to Little Yu: "Little Yu, you should also not learn from Brother Shao Tang. See how much he dotes on Sister Xiao Ying."

Lou Shaotang and I looked at each other and laughed helplessly.

After we had eaten and rested for a while, we went to the garden behind the farmhouse to pick oranges. Afraid that I would be cut by the fruit, Lou Shaotang didn't let me move, he only allowed me to watch as he plucked the fruit.

I laughed at him for treating me like a golden lady. "I've done this many times when I was young. In the past, when my father planted grapes and cucumbers in the yard, I helped him harvest them. I even planted seedlings there."

Hearing that, Lou Shaotang's smile froze, he stopped cutting the leaves and turned to look at me, his eyes revealed a look of pain, he took off his gloves and pulled my hand away to have a closer look.

Even though I've been doing rough work since I was young, my hands aren't that rough. In addition, I've been focusing on maintenance these past few years.

"Therefore, I will not make you suffer any more." He kissed the back of my hand.

My smile deepened.

"Hey, can you cut it or not?" Shu Qiao's dissatisfied voice came from not too far away.

We replied and looked over, only to see Qin Lang passing a fruit shears in front of her, "No, come!"

Shu Qiao did not even look as she waved her hand disdainfully: "This kind of crude work is not suitable for me!"

"Then what are you suitable for?" Qin Lang chuckled, looking quite disdainful.

"I'm more suited to doing this!" Shu Qiao crossed his hands in front of his chest, and then smiled, as if he was lost in thought.

"Such as?" Qin Lang raised his eyebrows.

"For example …" Shu Qiao was just about to continue speaking when she suddenly choked and cleared her throat, then said: "Che ~ Who are you to me, why should I tell you!?"

Shu Qiao's family's background was excellent, and she was the only daughter of her family. Although she wasn't as spoiled as Lou Anqi, who was favored by the crowd, she was still the apple of her parents' eye, and had never been touched by the spring water since she was young.

When they first met, she didn't even know how to drink from a hot water bottle. Her self-care ability was extremely poor. After staying in school for a long time, she gradually learned how to do some household chores. I remember when she saw me she knew everything, and she was so surprised that she made me out to be a man of heaven.

"If you don't want to say it, you don't know how. Cut the crap!" Qin Lang saw through it with one glance and started cutting the tangerines again.

"Who are you calling a cripple?" Shu Qiao was so angry that he let go of his hands and placed them on his waist.

Qin Lang did not care about it at all as he cut an orange and threw it into the fruit basket.

Just then, Lou Anqi who was on the other side suggested: "Hey, why don't we compete?"

Just as Shu Qiao was worrying about not getting a chance to finish, she immediately responded, "Alright, how do we compete?"

"We'll split into groups. We'll see which group has the most harvest within half an hour. The quality is also good."

"Alright, I'll join you." Shu Qiao walked towards her.

"What? Of course I'm in the same group as Little Yu!" As if he had heard a fantasy story, Lou Anqi's eyes widened, and at the same time hooked onto Little Yu's arm.

Shu Qiao's footsteps paused, she was stunned, "Then who should I follow?"

"Of course you're with him!" Lou Anqi pointed to Qin Lang who was behind Shu Qiao.

"With him?" Knowing that she was referring to Qin Lang, Shu Qiao yelled in disgust and flung her hands. "Forget it, let's drag him down!"

"Ha, are you afraid of losing to us?" Lou Anqi provoked her. Looking at the fruit basket beneath his feet that was half filled with oranges, he revealed a smile that said he would win.

"Will I lose to you?" Shu Qiao's unyielding nature immediately changed after being challenged like that. He did not care that he was still fighting with Qin Lang earlier, as he said: "Let's fight with him! Let's see who will lose in the end! "

With that, she turned around and walked back to Qin Lang, patting him on the shoulder, "Hey, we will depend on you for our honor! Don't lose to her! " He raised his thumb and nodded towards Lou Anqi who was behind him.

glanced at her, "Did I say that I would compete?"

Hearing Qin Lang's rejection, Shu Qiao's face stiffened, "Hey, what do you mean by that?" He glared at him disapprovingly.

The corner of Qin Lang's mouth hooked up, as if he was trying to intimidate her. "You agreed to it, but I didn't.

"I'll compete my ass alone!" "The heck!" Shu Qiao was once again easily angered to the point of hopping up and down.

"Isn't the same as me being in the same group as you?" Looking at her red face, Qin Lang asked calmly.

"Who said that? I can help you! "

"How can I help? "Help with the food?" Qin Lang teased.

"" Shu Qiao choked to the point that she could not speak anymore, she could only grit her teeth and glare at him.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? Do we still want to compete? " Lou Anqi's fingers rotated the fruit shears as she urged her.

Qin Lang looked at Lou Anqi, his words changing the topic, "If you want to compete, it's not impossible."

Hearing that, Shu Qiao's eyes lit up, but she immediately realized that Qin Lang would not be so kind to change his mind, with his arms wrapped around his chest and legs shaking, she asked: "What condition?"

Qin Lang put down the fruit shears once again, and similarly to her, crossed his arms over his chest, "One, since you begged me to help you, then you should have the attitude of begging someone. "Two, if we win, you have to listen to everything I say in the future."

"F * ck!" Shu Qiao immediately burst out in rage, she lowered her hand and pulled Wei Wei Yang's sleeves, looking like she wanted to beat him up.

Don't even mention her, I wouldn't even accept these two conditions. Begging was not something that Shu Qiao would do, much less for her to listen to Qin Lang's orders. She wouldn't even do it if she was beaten to death.

Just when I thought that Shu Qiao would refuse and scold her loudly, she gritted her teeth, and angrily said, "Fine!" After taking a few breaths, she seemed to be suppressing her raging emotions. After a moment, her face changed and she raised a smile. "Mr. Qin, I'm begging you, please come and compete with me."

Her smile was fake, but Qin Lang did not take it seriously, he was smiling proudly.

I secretly laughed, Qin Lang is really Shu Qiao's nemesis.

"Let's go as well." Lou Shaotang seemed to be in high spirits as he pulled my hand and walked towards them, "We will also participate!" he shouted.

"Huh?" Lou Anqi opened her mouth wide in shock, "You are also participating?"

After an instant of surprise, Lou Anqi revealed the same smile she gave Shu Qiao before, and said: "Brother Shao Tang, have you thought about it properly? The punishment of losing is extremely heavy."

"I won't lose." Lou Shaotang was more confident than her.

"Tsk, so confident?" Lou Anqi didn't believe him at all, "Alright, since that's the case, we'll compete in group three."

"What's the wager?" Speaking of gambling, Shu Qiao, who always liked gambling, was excited.

"The wager is that the four losers will each give 10 thousand red packets, how about that?"

"Only 10 thousand?" "It's not exciting!" Shu Qiao did not care at all about this small amount. She opened her palm and said heroically: "50 thousand!"

"50 thousand is 50 thousand, who's afraid of who!" No matter how much money he had, Lou Anqi fearlessly accepted the challenge. Looking around, he asked, "Does anyone else have any objections?"

"I won't bet." Little Yu said.

I knew he was afraid of losing, and he was sorry to have to pay so much money.

"Why not? We won't lose. If I lose, I'll pay, okay? " Lou Anqi also saw through it.

"Nope." Although Little Yu's personality was warm, but in terms of principles, he was extremely stubborn, and wouldn't give in to even a single step.

"Why are you so disappointing!" Lou Anqi was annoyed, she pouted.

Little Yu remained unmoved, and his face fell.

Not wanting the two of them to get angry, Lou Shaotang smiled at Little Yu and said: "Betting, Little Yu. I'll change the bet. I don't need money if I win. "

"Then what do you want?" Lou Anqi looked at him suspiciously.

Lou Shaotang held onto my shoulder, "I only want each of you to perform for my wife, and I must make her laugh." As he spoke, he looked at me with a gentle smile.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, including me. No one expected Lou Shaotang to put forward such a weird bet.

"Alright, I have no objections."

Shu Qiao was the first to react. The others all agreed.

The competition would begin immediately, with the main judge of the orchard. Both groups were harvested together, but Lou Shaotang insisted that I take care of it myself. He had thought that he would be very dull when he did such menial work since he was a young boy, but who knew that he was not unfamiliar with it at all. He quickly cut off the tangerines one by one and threw them into the fruit basket.

"Little Yu, you have to hurry. Brother Shao Tang has more than us!" Lou Anqi ran over to us to ask about "enemy affairs", then turned around and shouted at Little Yu.

Little Yu speechlessly rolled his eyes and continued to pick the herbs at the same speed as before. He wanted to deliberately lose, and if he were to get serious, Lou Shaotang would not be his match.

On the other hand, when Shu Qiao heard Lou Anqi's words, she also craned her neck to look into our fruit basket, and then urged Qin Lang, "Hurry up, I don't want to perform as a laughing star."

Qin Lang stopped and handed the fruit over to her, "If you want to hurry up, you can do it yourself."

Shu Qiao gritted her teeth in anger and turned to face the fruit tree.

Seeing this lively and fun scene, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was a happiness that came from the bottom of my heart.

After half an hour, it will be here. After the judge from the orchard, Lou Shaotang and I will win this round. Lou Anqi was not convinced, he said that his hands had cramped up, and shouted that he wanted to compete again, but was immediately ignored. Shu Qiao was willing to admit defeat, but she still glared at Qin Lang in anger, causing him to pretend that she did not see anything.

"Alright, which one of you will go first?" Lou Shaotang took off his gloves and threw them into the fruit basket, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

I took a tissue from my pocket and wiped his forehead, which was full of sweat.

Lou Shaotang gazed at me with gentle eyes, and the corner of his mouth hooked up into a faint smile.

"I'll go first!" Little Yu took the lead and walked towards us.

"Sis, let me sing a song for you."

As soon as he finished, he began to sing. As soon as I heard it, tears welled up in my eyes, and I thought of my childhood, when Dad and the three of them and I were in the courtyard to cool down, we would sing and dance together, and the smell of grapes filled my nostrils, and the sound of Dad's hearty laughter in my ears.

Looking at Little Yu dancing with joy and the cute dance we did all those years ago, I puckered my lips and resisted the tears that were about to fall.

Lou Shaotang wants me to be happy, Little Yu wants me to be happy too, I can't cry.

"Wa, Little Yu, you're so cute!" As soon as Little Yu finished performing, Lou Anqi immediately went forward and held his face, and kissed him on the lips. Jump one more time. I want to see more. "

Little Yu wiped his pink lips, then pushed her away blushing, "It's your turn."

Not caring at all that Little Yu ignored her request, Lou Anqi immediately smiled and said to me, "Sister Xiao Ying, let me give you a dance too." Just as he raised his hand to jump, he stopped and added, "No matter what, you have to laugh!"

Before she could jump, I laughed at her words. "Okay, go ahead and dance."

Receiving my guarantee, Lou Anqi laughed with relief, but he did not immediately jump, after thinking for a moment, he turned to Little Yu and said: "Little Yu, help me sing along."

"You sure have a lot to do!" Little Yu frowned, he was dissatisfied, but still listened to her and asked: "What are you singing?"

"'Narcissus Love'."

Little Yu was startled for a moment, then nodded his head and started to sing. Lou Anqi followed his song and started swaying his body happily.

This scene reminded me of the night at the Lake of Holy Cross in France, when we were singing by the lake's edge, BBQ, which was also the song we were singing.

His face bloomed into a smile.

Lou Shaotang should have also thought back to that scene. Turning his head to look at me, the smile on his face became even sweeter and gentler.

Little Yu's singing was very nice, coupled with the fact that Lou Anqi had learned ballet and folk dances when she was young, even though it was a random dance, her dancing style was still very beautiful.

When it was Shu Qiao's turn, she said: "Xiao Ying, you know, I can't sing properly, so I won't sing. I don't know how to dance, so I'll tell you a joke."

I don't know her yet, so I might as well listen to the ducks. He nodded in agreement.

Shu Qiao's stomach was full of jokes, any one of them would definitely cause others to scold him. Sure enough, she said something that caused everyone to stumble over their laughter. Even Lou Shaotang, who was very reserved with his laughter, could not help but let out a hearty laugh.

Finally, it was Qin Lang. Shu Qiao saw that even after thinking for a long time, he did not know what to do, so she smirked: "Look, who's the cripple? It's like being constipated during a performance. "

Qin Lang's face reddened in embarrassment, and did not reply.

Seeing that he was really not good at talented performances and didn't want to make things difficult for him, I smiled and said, "Forget it, there's no need to perform anymore. I can't laugh anymore."

Seeing that I wanted to let him off, Lou Shaotang also spoke up: "Alright, then that's it. Everyone is tired, let's go back. "

Qin Lang's expression seemed to relax a little as he smiled at me gratefully.

After returning to the farmhouse, everyone went to their own rooms to rest.

Once we went back to our room, Lou Shaotang went to the bathroom to drain the water, preparing to take a bath together with me. At that moment, his cell phone rang on the bedside table.

I walked over and picked it up. The caller ID showed that it was from the mental health center where Zheng Keer stayed.
