After the initial burst of excitement, rationality finally returned. Mu Yan looked at the small field of wheat in front of him. Although it looked like a lot, it was far from enough for them to meet the consumer’s demand.
“It’s getting late, let’s go back first. I’ll come over to harvest the wheat tomorrow.” Mu Chen interrupted 005.
Looking at the time, it was really getting late. If they harvested the wheat now, it would be late at night when they returned, and this place would be much more dangerous.
“Alright then.” Although 005 was eager to have steamed buns made of flour, he was also aware that staying outside late at night was not recommended.
As a result, a group of two people and a system carrying today’s harvest walked home.
Mu Yan couldn’t calm down for a long time. He eventually located a key food ingredient after a long hunt.
Despite the small amount, he still had his own land. He might, however, use the wheat seeds as seeds and sow them. When the harvest came, he could harvest several times as much wheat as he could now, and then utilize the flour to make more variety of food.
Thinking like this, Mu Yan felt a sense of impatience.
Until bedtime, Mu Yan was still in a state of high spirits due to finding wheat. Mu Chen couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry when he saw Mu Yan.
“If you don’t sleep, you won’t be able to wake up tomorrow.” Mu Chen said, wrapping Mu Yan in his arms.
“I can’t sleep.” Mu Yan’s voice was soft and his eyes were bright.
“Then…do you want me to help you fall asleep faster?” Mu Chen spoke in a seductive tone, a glint of passion progressively filling the depths of his eyes.
“How to do it?” Mu Yan was dazed and didn’t grasp the danger, instead he naively sent himself to the mouth of the big bad wolf.
Mu Chen turned over and pressed Mu Yan against his body, blocking that seductive little mouth, and at the same time saw that big bright eyes suddenly widened, and the dumbfounded look really made people want to swallow them all at once.
The movement in the room continued until the middle of the night, and Mu Yan, who was unable to sleep because of high spirits, couldn’t even lift his tired eyelids, and fell asleep deeply in Mu Chen’s broad arms.
“Good night.” Mu Chen’s hoarse voice was filled with a strong sense of indulgence, embracing that soft and petite body. His heart was filled with joy and happiness
The next day, Mu Yan naturally ‘stayed in bed’ again. When he woke up, it was already noon, not to mention making steamed buns, even the sale was already completed.
Thinking of what Mu Chen done with him last night, Mu Yan’s face turned red again. Although he had done such intimate things more than once, each time it still made Mu Yan feel shy and embarrassed to meet people.
005 looked at Mu Chen who was clearing away the after-sales table and steamer, and looked at the tightly closed bedroom door with a deep sigh.
The only benefit of binding Mu Chen as a system partner was probably… the system upgrade task could continue.
Alas…
After lunch, Mu Chen confirmed that Mu Yan was not feeling any discomfort, and the two of them went to the place where they discovered the wheat yesterday, preparing to harvest it.

“005, do you have a sickle?” Mu Yan looked at the wheat and asked 005.

Mu Chen stepped forward to observe the wheat carefully. It was the first time he had seen such a plant, so he didn’t know whether the place where the wheat could be eaten was the stem, the top, or the root. After all, in the ingredients they had found before, these places were all edible.
Under uncertain circumstances, Mu Chen directly pulled up the wheat roots and found it easy to do so. He grabbed several wheat roots with one hand, exerted a slight force, and all of them lifted out of the soil.
Just as Mu Yan and 005 were discussing whether to exchange the sickle, Mu Chen had harvested nearly half of the wheat by himself.
005: Z(°△。丨丨|)|
Mu Yan: 〇((*v*))〇
“Wow Ah Chen, how did you do it? Did you collect all these with your hands?” Mu Yan looked at the wheat lying neatly on the ground and said in admiration.
He was still worrying about not having a sickle, but Ah Chen had already harvested so much with his bare hands, which was really amazing.
005: Ahh! Then what’s the point of their discussion just now! What’s the point!!!
“Well, I don’t know which parts are edible, so I pulled them all up. Can you take a look? Is this okay?” Mu Chen enjoyed Mu Yan’s admiration very much, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
“Wheat is eaten from the wheat ears, this part, and then it needs to be shelled and ground into flour.” Mu Yan explained to Mu Chen. Although he didn’t know how to shell, the system should know.
Mu Yan pulled Mu Chen’s big hands, looked at those hands carefully, and found no scars on them, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Since Mu Chen could harvest so much with bare hands, they no longer needed a sickle. Perhaps the wheat in this world was easier to harvest than in his previous one.
Mu Yan also followed Mu Chen’s example, grabbing a few stalks of wheat, intending to pull them out with force… and then with force… but the wheat remained motionless.
005: ..
“I think Mu Chen did it quite easy.” 005 murmured.
Mu Yan: …
Mu Yan felt that he might have used too little force, so he used even more force. As a result, the wheat was still firmly rooted in the soil. Instead, the friction between the wheat straw and Mu Yan’s hand was less than the force he used to grab, and his palm slid directly up the wheat straw.
The rough straw constantly rubbed against the palm of his hand, emitting a burning pain, and Mu Yan even fell to the ground directly due to excessive force.
“Oh!”
“Mumu!” When Mu Chen saw Mu Yan fall, he dropped the wheat in his hand and rushed to Mu Yan’s side to aid him up. When he saw the worn out and even oozing red palm, he felt as if someone was clutching his heart.
“Mumu, does it hurt?” Mu Chen grasped Mu Yan’s palm cautiously, unwilling to exert force for fear of causing Mu Yan pain, while silently regretting not finishing all of the task.
If he knew it would injure Mumu, he would certainly pick up the pace and harvest all of the wheat before Mumu discovered it.
“Ah Chen, it doesn’t hurt.” Mu Yan said with a smile, trying to reassure Mu Chen.
There were only a few scratches on the palm of his hand, with some red marks and blood oozing, which was not a big deal for Mu Yan. After all, he had been injured far more frequently when assisting with farming than he was now. He had become accustomed to it.
But just because Mu Yan was used to it didn’t mean Mu Chen was. He abruptly scooped up Mu Yan, carefully led him to the edge of the wheat field, and forced him to sit under the tree.
Then, he took out the previous wound medicine from the medicine bag he carried with him, carefully applied it to Mu Yan, and gently blew it in an attempt to alleviate his pain.
The cool wind blew comfortably on the wound, but it also made Mu Yan’s face blush.
Mu Chen would carry injury medicine with him, just in case he got injured in the forest. Unexpectedly, the first person to use it would be Mu Yan.
Mu Yan’s heart swelled as he felt Mu Chen’s meticulous care and attention, and his eyes became somewhat misty.
No one had ever been so kind to him, and no one had ever cared about whether he was injured or hurt. His so-called family members only kept squeezing and enslaving him, hoping that he could do everything for them.
The man in front of him was his husband, a partner who belonged entirely to him. Great!
“Ah Chen, thank you very much.” Mu Yan stated sincerity.
Thank you for giving me a complete home, thank you for being so kind to me, thank you for being with me all the time, thank you…
Mu Yan’s wide eyes were tearful, yet he had a bright smile on his face. When Mu Chen raised his head, he saw just this type of Mu Yan, who appeared so beautiful and dreamy against the backdrop of the sunlight behind him.
“You don’t need to be polite to me.” Mu Chen lovingly stroked Mu Yan’s little head and murmured, “You sit here, I’ll finish quickly.”
Mu Yan did not accompany him this time. After all, he knew that his strength in this world was still limited after what had just happened. He witnessed Ah Chen easily pull it out, but when it came to him, he couldn’t even pull out a single one.
Sigh… When he had points in the future, he still needed to exchange for a scythe as soon as possible, Mu Yan thought in his heart.
Not long after, Mu Chen had already harvested all the wheat and had already tied it into bundles without any guidance, but…
“How will this be transported back?” Mu Yan asked in distress.
He was so excited to finally find the wheat before, but forgot to bring tools to transport it back.
“Isn’t that kind of delivery truck here too?” said 005.
“But the roads in the forest are difficult to walk, and cars can’t drive in.” Mu Yan replied.
“Hmm…then what should we do?” 005’s face wrinkled into a ball.
“If only there was an ox cart.” Mu Yan thought of the ox cart used to transport grain in the village in his previous world. If there was an ox cart, he could transport all the wheat back at once.
“There is no one farming here, let alone raising cattle, where can we find a cart?” 005 said sadly.
“Alas…” 005 and Mu Yan both sighed deeply, clearly troubled.
Mu Chen couldn’t help but feel funny as he looked at the one person, one system struggling there, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
Despite the big amount of wheat, transporting it back was not impossible for him. After all, the people in this world were physically healthy and strong, so as long as he could tie up all the wheat, dragging it back was not impossible.
Mu Chen watched as Mu Yan and 005 were still worried about how to transport wheat and smiled, without disturbing them. Instead, he went around to find two thick and long wooden sticks, and then found some vines to insert between the two sticks, forming a simple support.
Mu Chen had also heard before that Mu Yan relied on this simple support to drag himself back to the village step by step.
He often thought about how strong Mu Yan’s courage and perseverance were to persevere and drag himself back to the village, with Mu Yan’s small stature, thin body, and limited strength. He must have suffered a lot along the way.
It was precisely because of this that he admired and took care of Mu Yan even more. With such a kind and beautiful wife, no one was willing to let him suffer a little bit of harm.
Having made a simple support, Mu Chen bundled all the wheat together and placed it on the support, which looked like a small mountain from a distance.
In fact, Mu Chen could also directly drag the wheat away, but he was worried that it would damage the ears of wheat, and Mu Mu will definitely feel distressed at that time.
Therefore, he would rather trouble himself and make an extra bracket.
“Mumu, we’re going back.” Mu Chen said to Mu Yan, and then put the rope on his shoulders.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yan turned his head and was instantly startled by the hill-like pile of wheat.
“Oh, my goodness, how did you do it?” 005 yelled in wonder, then flew back and forth several times around the wheat stack, marveling the entire time.
This man did not appear to be useless either. At the very least, he was very strong. 005 silently felt in his heart that if there were any bulky goods in the future, he would come in useful.
