Zu Qi was busy for more than two hours and then entered the space to look at the progress of A Tao and A Shu’s planting.
Vegetable seeds and saplings were growing faster than Zu Qi imagined. In reality, only half a month had passed. Vegetables such as radishes and cabbage had already grown clusters of bright green and crisp leaves. It would not take long for them to bear fruit.
The most exaggerated thing was the sapling that Zu Qi brought in. The sapling in his memory was still a fragile branch about half a person tall, but now it had thick roots and green branches and leaves spreading unbridled in all directions.
“The apple trees will bear fruit soon, but the cherry trees will have to wait a while.” A Tao said.
In fact, neither A Tao nor A Shu knew what cherries were and what they looked like. Zu Qi said that the cherries they produced were delicious, so they and their tribe took turns weeding and watering the cherry trees every day, fearing that animals would damage them.
As for the apple tree next to it… it depended entirely on its own ability to grow so big.
Zu Qi suddenly sympathized with the apple tree, but when he heard the Three Lucky Treasures say that they had eaten apples for many years, he began to sympathize with the Three Lucky Treasures’ family again. No wonder the Three Lucky Treasures were easily bribed by him with snacks.
Before leaving, Zu Qi went to the river that was covered with wild chrysanthemums and took a look. Except for the clear flowing water and the weeds by the river, there was no trace of other plants.
Zu Qi asked Dabao when the river would be covered with wild chrysanthemums.
Dabao scratched his hair in confusion, shook his head and said: “I don’t know, we rarely came here to play before.”
A Shu listened to Sanbao’s translation and replied: “People in our village say these flowers bloom only once every two years, and because the environment is getting worse and worse, every bloom may be the last one.”
Zu Qi sighed, feeling a little disappointed and regretful, and then left the space.
He picked up his phone and looked at the time. Only five minutes had passed.
In fact, Zu Qi was not very clear about the time difference between space and reality. At first, he always thought that one second in reality was equal to ten minutes in space. In short, if he spent one second in reality, the Three Lucky treasures in space would have spent ten minutes.
But later, Zu Qi felt something was wrong.
He found that time in space did not flow so quickly. When he gave birth to Xue Wanwan, he stayed in the hospital for more than a month. After returning to Xue’s house, he entered the space and found the Three Lucky treasures. If calculated like that, wouldn’t the Three Lucky Treasures have been waiting for him for more than sixty years?
However, Zu Qi clearly remembered that the Three Lucky Treasures said that they had only been waiting for two or three months.
Zu Qi thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out the result, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He picked up his phone and found Tang Yukuan on WeChat and confirmed the time to meet him tomorrow.
Soon, Tang Yukuan sent an “ok” and “shake hands” expression.
Zu Qi responded with a smile.
When he was about to log out of WeChat, a small red “1” suddenly appeared in front of the chat box that Zu Qi had set as pinned. The lower left corner was Xue Jue’s WeChat avatar. It used to be an artistic photo of Xue Wanwan from his full moon banquet, but now …
Zu Qi inexplicably felt that the back figure in the photo looked very familiar. He clicked on Xue Jue’s personal business card and then clicked on the profile picture.
The next second.
Zu Qi’s face instantly turned into a red apple.
At some point, Xue Jue’s avatar was changed to a photo of him holding Xue Wanwan standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He was wearing a light gray thin shirt with his back to the camera. His figure was thin, and his hands in front of him were slightly raised. It was obvious that there was still a child in his arms.
But Xue Wanwan was still a little baby and could only be held horizontally, so the little guy was almost completely blocked by Zu Qi, with only a small head wearing an animal hat showing, and long rabbit ears hanging softly.
Although there was Xue Wanwan in this photo, Zu Qi always felt that it was a solo photo of him at first glance, and it was set as a WeChat avatar by Xue Jue…
Zu Qi’s cheeks burned so badly that he hurriedly returned to his chat interface with Xue Jue, then he glanced at the avatar on the left with a blushing face, and suddenly felt like he was chatting with himself.
Then… his heart began to beat faster and disobediently.
Zu Qi sat on the soft big bed, then holding his mobile phone in both hands, he took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down. He took a closer look, and then he was dumbfounded to find that Xue Jue had only sent an emoticon.
You could tell that the emoticon was homemade at first glance, because the content showed Xue Wanwan crying with his mouth open, and there were several moving round characters directly above it – cry if you don’t give me candy.
Zu Qi stared at the phone screen for a long time, finally couldn’t hold it back and burst into laughter.
So he typed back: “I don’t have any sugar.”
The other party seemed to have been waiting for his reply. Almost at the same time that Zu Qi sent the message, the note above showed that the other party was typing.
Not long after, Xue Jue replied: “There is candy in your mouth.”
Zu Qi was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips subconsciously. He seemed to know what Xue Jue was talking about, but he seemed not to know. His head was a little confused, but the blush on his face spread to his ears very quickly.
He typed and deleted in the input box, and finally said directly: “I’m not eating candy.”
“But your mouth is very sweet.”
“…” Zu Qi gradually widened his eyes and looked at the text sent by Xue Jue in disbelief. He even wondered if Xue Jue’s account had been hacked.
Just when Zu Qi didn’t know how to reply, Xue Jue suddenly withdrew that sentence.
Within two seconds, Xue Jue sent a message as if nothing had happened: “Maybe I remembered it wrong.”
Zu Qi: “…” Did you remember something wrong?
Zu Qi felt helpless and funny, so he directly made a video call. After waiting for a long time, Xue Jue finally connected the video call.
The first thing that appeared in the center of the screen was Xue Wanwan’s chubby face. The little guy opened his mouth slightly, looked at the camera curiously with his eyes wide open, and the transparent lips fell down along the corners of his mouth. Then he saw the hidden face of Xue Jue behind Xue Wanwan.
Set off by Xue Wanwan’s big face, Xue Jue’s face seemed to be two or three times smaller.
Zu Qi couldn’t hold back his laughter, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles: “Where did you learn these earthy love words?”
“…” Xue Jue’s pretending to be calm expression froze for a moment, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke, “Have you seen it all?”
Zu Qi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and sighed: “I’m not blind, of course I can see the message you sent.”
Xue Jue opened and closed his mouth and said uncomfortably: “Taught by Xiao Zhao.”
When he traveled through time and lived in the resort, Zu Qi often met with Xue Jue’s assistant Xiao Zhao. In his impression, Xiao Zhao was a rigid and self-disciplined young man who would not take the initiative to teach his boss such nonsense love words.
It must have been Xue Jue who went to ask Xiao Zhao…
Zu Qi had no choice but to see that Xue Jue’s reaction was really shy, so he had to change the topic quietly.
He then asked Xue Jue where he got Xue Wanwan’s emoticon package. Xue Jue honestly told him the software used to create the emoticon package, and also sent a bunch of works to Zu Qi, including more than 20 emoticon packages.
Zu Qi reduced the video frame to the upper right corner, swiped the screen with his fingertips and looked at Xue Wanwan, who was laughing or crying in every emoticon.
“When did you take so many photos?” Zu Qi sighed. He thought that only Weng Yuxiang would point her cell phone and camera at Xue Wanwan and take photos every day. He didn’t expect that Xue Jue also had so many good photos.
Xue Jue said, “I just took some random photos.”
Zu Qi chuckled and said, “Was the photo you used as your profile picture also taken casually?”
“…” Xue Jue fell silent for a moment, and slowly hid behind Xue Wanwan. Xue Wanwan, who was being used as a shield since a while ago, knew nothing about his father’s behavior and was still excitedly tapping the camera on his phone.
Just when Zu Qi thought that Xue Jue would be a coward and avoid this topic again, he suddenly heard his deep and melodious magnetic voice coming from the receiver of his mobile phone: “I didn’t take pictures casually but took them very seriously.”
After saying that, Xue Jue revealed his eyes from behind Xue Wanwan and carefully observed Zu Qi’s reaction.
Zu Qi opened his mouth, but suddenly he didn’t know what to say. He stared blankly at the father and son on the phone screen, feeling as if he had drunk honey, so sweet that he became tired of it.
What Xue Jue said just now was right. His mouth was indeed very sweet, filled with the honey that Xue Jue poured in…
Although he had been in love several times before, this time he really felt like he was soaked in honey. The taste inside seemed to be all about Xue Jue in his eyes, and all he could smell at the tip of his nose was Xue Jue’s scent.
The whole world was gray, and only Xue Jue in front of him was colorful.
Oh, and the forgotten Xue Wanwan.
Poor Xue Wanwan had been drooling for most of the day. Only then did Zu Qi belatedly notice it. He quickly knocked on the screen and shouted: “Your son’s drool is coming out!”
Xue Jue was stunned and subconsciously reached out to touch it. He touched Xue Wanwan’s mouth but ended up touching his hand full of saliva without saying anything. Then Xue Wanwan caught his hand and bit it down.
Xue Jue withdrew her hand in a panic and was about to find a tissue to wipe the saliva from Xue Wanwan’s mouth. But Xue Wanwan in front of the screen suddenly flattened his mouth and started crying.
Xue Jue originally put Xue Wanwan on the bed, but now he had to pick up the crying little ancestor to comfort him.
Zu Qi listened to the little devil’s cries that seemed to shatter the house. He rubbed his sore temples and decided to go to the bathroom to take a bath first.
Unfortunately, when Zu Qi came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and blow-drying his hair, Xue Wanwan’s crying still didn’t stop, and it was getting worse…
Xue Jue was worried about disturbing Zu Qi’s rest, so he hung up. The video was stopped by Zu Qi.
Zu Qi asked Xue Jue to put the mobile phone to Xue Wanwan’s ear. He nestled in the quilt and tried to coax the child through the mobile phone. He didn’t know whether Zu Qi’s voice really had an effect or whether Xue Wanwan was tired from crying. After a while, the little guy’s cries gradually weakened.
And Zu Qi also felt extremely tired. He still held his mobile phone in his hand and fell asleep like this.
Maybe it was because he thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. Ever since Zu Qi and Xue Jue established their relationship, he often dreamed of Xue Jue in the middle of the night.
The content of each dream was different, but most of them were about Xue Jue ruthlessly abandoning him and throwing himself into the arms of the heroine. No matter how Zu Qi called from behind, Xue Jue didn’t even look back and left very decisively.
Zu Qi didn’t feel anything when he dreamed the last few times, but this time he actually heard Xue Jue’s response.
Whenever he called out Xue Jue’s name, Xue Jue would respond loudly to him. However, in his dream, Xue Jue still kept walking forward with her back to him, turning a deaf ear to his voice…
Several times, Zu Qi couldn’t help but shout until he turned almost schizophrenic.
Until he suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the phone on the pillow and saw Xue Jue’s face inside, his whole face turning red again.
Xue Jue was still wearing the clothes from last night, and there was a faint dark green circle under his eyes. He asked softly: “Did you have another nightmare?”
