Chapter 156 - Changes in the Heart

Regarding the news of Xiang Chen Xi coming back, Tao Chu Liang had also heard about it. When she first heard of it, he was very happy, but then he started to get agitated again.

What was Xiang Chen Xi doing back? For what?

She wasn't narcissistic enough to think that it was because of her.

In fact, during the month that Xiang Chen Xi was back home, Tao Chu Liang had been checking out the land Xiang Chen Xi and the elder were renting every day. How did these plants look like?

So when Xiang Chen Xi grew the first batch of pigments in the village, he did a great deal of work. Under their care, the plants used to make the dyes were much longer than the other test products, and the dyed materials were also very thick.

Xiang Chen Xi walked all the way to those places he was planting and saw a person squatting in the shed, watering a Immortal Phoenix Flower.

He had always been evading. Although his heart was always looking forward to meeting with Lu Yu, the closer they were, the more afraid they became. It was common saying that being timid in the countryside was just like this.

He missed her, but he was afraid to meet her.

Sometimes, fate was so strange, and would always let the two of them meet in unintentional places. Xiang Chen Xi purposely avoided going to Tao Chu Liang's house, first came to his own growing grounds, and instead, met Tao Chu Liang here.

Xiang Chen Xi had the urge to turn around and flee, but the rationality in his heart was constantly warning him that escaping was a cowardly action.

Just as Xiang Chen Xi was in a constant state of battle with the gods in his mind, Tao Chu Liang turned his head and saw Xiang Chen Xi, who was in a dilemma.

Tao Chu Liang also did not expect that she would meet Xiang Chen Xi like this, and that at this place, he would not seem to have been grabbed at all. She gently put down the water bottle in his hands, slowly moved away the layer of wet mud, and then stood up, staring at Xiang Chen Xi.

The two of them stared at each other. The wind blew and lifted a corner of the shed. The flowers and plants swayed in the wind where there was no cover.

Xiang Chen Xi stared fixedly at the person in the flower bush without changing at all. The two of them had nothing to say and no one spoke first.

Xiang Chen Xi followed his line of sight and looked at all the plants in the shed. All of them were already as tall as his calves, and there were even flowers and flowers that were supposed to bloom. The results, could be seen that these plants were meticulously taken care of by someone.

"You … Are you doing well? "

In the end, it was Xiang Chen Xi who opened his mouth to break the oppressive atmosphere in the air, and following his words, the oppressive atmosphere gradually disappeared. Tao Chu Liang sighed, she thought that at least Xiang Chen Xi would not meet her here.

"It's not bad."

In fact, in this past month, Tao Chu Liang's life had not been good at all. Her parents and the village head had always been bringing her and Zhao Jing together, and every time she came here, she would have to sneak over secretly. Otherwise, if her parents saw his, she wouldn't be able to come.

"Oh!"

Xiang Chen Xi didn't know what to answer, and only said one word.

"What about you? How have you been recently?"

"Not bad."

Xiang Chen Xi's lower lip wiggled, and the two of them faced each other as they talked about useless matters. Both of them were very smart to choose not to mention the matter of him returning to their country.

Tao Chu Liang did not want to mention it, but he did not dare to do so because he was afraid that tears would fall from his eyes.

"Is that so? I thought you'd never come back. "

Tao Chu Liang stood in place, looking at the familiar face in front of him, and said in a daze as he thought about something, Tao Chu Liang actually started to cry, and all of a sudden, Xiang Chen Xi started to panic a bit. He no longer stayed where he was, and quickly walked forward in three steps, and held Tao Chu Liang in his arms.

Sensing that his arms were filled with such a feeling, Xiang Chen Xi actually started to covet it.

Tao Chu Liang, who was in his embrace, started to cry even harder. Both of his hands were constantly hitting Xiang Chen Xi's back, as he muttered some unimportant words.

Xiang Chen Xi let Tao Chu Liang vent his anger just like that, and only after she had cried and vented enough did Xiang Chen Xi slowly wipe off her tears.

In an instant, the invisible but untouchable layer between the two had disappeared …

Later on, the two of them returned to how they used to be, but it was unknown whether their hearts were real.

Tao Chu Liang started to talk a lot when he saw Xiang Chen Xi, and kept on nagging Xiang Chen Xi about the interesting things happened after he left.

The boss' grandma had married her daughter. Unfortunately, her daughter had only been married for a few days and had already suffered. When she returned home, she was alone with her daughter.

The villagers all knew that when the married lady came back, they had to ask her husband to come back with her in order to get their love. However, the daughter of the married woman came back alone, which caused quite a sensation in the village.

Mrs. Zhang, who was at the village entrance, had a big fat boy a few days ago. She had set up a assembly stage for three days and three nights to let the whole village go to the lively and enjoy themselves.

In addition, the Hu family in the north had just raised a few chickens, but they were eaten by the weasels right after they laid their eggs.

Xiang Chen Xi silently listened to these useless topics. At the entrance of the village, the children had already told him about it, so he did not feel that there was anything amiss.

On the other hand, Hu Zi heard that his results were getting better and better in the class, and that he could be ranked amongst the top 100 in the entire school. Xiang Chen Xi heard that there were also people in the other classes who could not afford to pay the higher tuition and dropped out of school, but he was not as lucky as Hu Zi, as he met Lu Yu.

Xiang Chen Xi and Tao Chu Liang talked nonstop. The sky turned dark, and in the meantime, they had gone to look at all the round plants. The plants inside were all growing really well, and could basically be harvested.

Tao Chu Liang invited Xiang Chen Xi to her house for dinner. Xiang Chen Xi thought about Tao Chu Liang's cooking and agreed without hesitation. The two of them went back to Tao Chu Liang's house.

After Tao Chu Liang's parents saw that the person who had come to visit them was Xiang Chen Xi, they were slightly surprised, but most of them were dissatisfied. They did not like Xiang Chen Xi very much, because Xiang Chen Xi was simply too good-looking.

Although they had always been forcing Tao Chu Liang and Zhao Jing to marry, before they got married, they were most afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

This was the most depressing thing about Tao Chu Liang's parents because his own daughter did not seem to call Zhao Jing that way. Furthermore, during the one month that Xiang Chen Xi had "gone missing", Tao Chu Liang had been running to his place of production every day, which made Tao Chu Liang's parents even more dissatisfied.

But since Xiang Chen Xi had come, no matter how dissatisfied their parents were, they couldn't possibly chase him away in front of their own daughter, not to mention that this daughter wasn't their biological son either.

Naturally, Xiang Chen Xi's dissatisfaction with Tao Chu Liang's parents did not escape his shrewd eyes, but Xiang Chen Xi's intelligent choice was completely ignored.

Thus, for this meal, the happiest ones were Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi, and the ones who ate the most was Tao Chu Liang's parents.

Fortunately, Xiang Chen Xi had finished eating and left. If he was going to stay and rest, Tao Chu Liang's parents would definitely not do so, and Xiang Chen Xi also chose to leave.

Summer vacation came quickly. To the villagers, the children loved summer vacation the most, but they hated summer vacation the most.

Because summer vacation came, it meant they didn't have to go to school, but when they didn't, there was not only a lot of homework, but also a lot of work that their parents had given them.

So the children, for this summer vacation, really love and hate, but the children grew up in the village, after a few days, they can also find fun in the fields.

The summer vacation was relatively easier for Tao Chu Liang. She didn't have to go to school every day, so she had a lot of spare time to do his own things. There wasn't much else to do, so Tao Chu Liang's parents forced his to get married even more tightly.

They only hoped that Tao Chu Liang would be able to get his proof of it during the summer vacation. Then, they would be able to tie the knot and report the news of their wedding.

The arrival of summer vacation meant that summer had entered its final phase. The village was getting hotter and hotter, and Xiang Chen Xi loved the morning and evening in the village the most. It was the coolest time of the four hours.

However, there were a lot of rainy seasons this summer. Furthermore, no one was prepared for it when someone said that it would rain. Just a moment ago, it was a cloudless sunny day, but now, thunder and lightning had struck.

Soon after, raindrops the size of beans fell on their bodies. The villagers who were working in the fields were caught off guard and drenched from head to toe by the rainwater. Everyone was rushing home, and the work in the fields was temporarily put on hold.

As for Tao Chu Liang and Xiang Chen Xi, they were drenched to the point that they couldn't find a single dry place to be.

Originally, when Xiang Chen Xi saw that the weather was good today, that there were no clouds in the distance, and with the sun shining down on his body and being incomparably comfortable, he remembered that batch of plants that he had tested for.

That was why picking plants was not a problem. Xiang Chen Xi asked some of the employees of the company to come and pick these plants, process them, and then produce them. This way, the company would begin to operate.

Although Mrs Xiang and Taur were the biggest companies in the country, Xiang Chen Xi understood the principle that there was always someone stronger than him. In this world, the people who were talented the most were the people who were talented, and the people who were not lacking were the people who were talented as well, in order to prevent the company from collapsing when he was still not strong enough and being bought by other entrepreneurs, he had to set up some companies that were not under his name.

Therefore, for this newly started Natural Pigment Company, Xiang Chen Xi was especially concerned about it. He did not dare make the slightest mistake, because a mistake right now, to him, would be a fatal injury in the future!
