I Love FarmingCh17 - It’s Hard To Refuse You

Editor: malaysian_asian

Cui QiChao was walking XiaoBai in the school without a leash on, carrying a small basket with honeysuckle seedlings inside. With the amount inside, it was obvious he was carefully looking for any inch of space inside the campus to plant them and continue on with his plan of beautifying the whole campus. kvyOLK

Honeysuckles were plants that could grow vertically, and with their strong vitality throughout every season, he could safely transplant them without worrying about their survival rate. With other plants, he would’ve had to think about the seedlings incurring damage.

However, one needed to be aware of the fact that honeysuckles would burn if they were watered during the time when sunlight shone the brightest. In fact, this was also applicable with other plants. To try to solve the issue of crops wilting during sunlight, many people thought it would be better to water the crops in order to cool it off, not knowing it would have the opposite effect.

Any place Cui QiChao passed that he thought was suitable, he would stop there, till the ground with his tools, and transplant the flower by cutting it. XiaoBai stayed by his side and cleverly picked up a new seedling from the basket to bring to him after he cut one.

Cui QiChao squatting while planting seedlings and XiaoBai charmingly helping him plant attracted the attention of many students who saw them. NA7hZq

“Where are the duckies, XiaoBai? Where are the duckies?”

“XiaoBai, why aren’t you with the duckies?”

“XiaoBai, where are your duckies?”

As the sound of their inquiries rang out, XiaoBai’s eyes slit into a vertical line: Did no one notice it was helping out? Why was it not receiving praise?

Although XiaoBai’s “other people’s cat” behavior was very rare, everyone was more interested in the relationship between it and the duckies, which was even more novel. Additionally, they weren’t interested in XiaoBai itself, but its owner—Cui QiChao.

They only had to watch him for a few moments before figuring out that Cui QiChao didn’t need to draw a line in the soil for reference, he directly used his fingers to dig out holes approximately five centimeters from each other to plant seedlings and fertilizer.

It really was too accurate. If one didn’t watch him dig in person, they most definitely would’ve thought he used a ruler.

If the students had x-ray vision, they would see that the holes Cui QiChao dug were also of the same depth. 9SgprH

Even old and experienced farmers would have difficulty doing this. Cui QiChao’s accuracy in planting was frightening.

But the amount of fertilizer varied from each hole. That was because he had to take into account the subtle differences of each seedling and make sure it was just right. If he was doing this on a larger-scale, he definitely wouldn’t be as attentive. The workload would be too heavy, but he would still be able to estimate in passing when he was cutting.

“This scene…would be very pleasant for patients suffering from OCD!”

They were all convinced after seeing his skills. Boss Cui really was worthy of being a top scholar who brought them his self-grown vegetables. His movements were fluid and smooth, and even though it was just him inserting seedlings, it made the people viewing him feel especially comfortable. This was why people say that within the 306 trades, there would be a master for each. yBPVn0

However, after Cui QiChao finished sowing in this small plot of land, the students came back to reality and realized:

Honeysuckle was white when it first opened, and then turned yellow after a few days. The first flower would intermingle with the second flower—just like its name, gold and silver. n59eHu

Cui QiChao walked about a fifth of the whole campus, feeling like he got a good day’s work done, so he took XiaoBai back home. From time to time, neat gold and silver seedlings would be scattered as they walked. His heart was filled with satisfaction, and in turn his attitude towards XiaoBai became more gentle. “Come, I’ll carry you.”

Xiao Bai, who was used to Cui QiChao being cold-hearted, fluttered its tail in happiness as it climbed up Cui QiChao from the hem of his pants and rolled up into the crook of his arms.

“Boss Cui, Boss Cui.” Cui QiChao barely exited from the canteen when an employee from the second floor exited the office and called out to him. “Director Lin from the finance department brought someone over, they’re waiting for you in the office.”

“Okay, I got it.” Cui QiChao thought it was regarding matters related to the canteen. He asked XiaoBai to herd the ducks back to where they should be and went back upstairs. Lhqran

Cui QiChao pushed the door open and saw a man in his thirties who had his hair parted in the center, sitting in the rest area of the office. As soon as he came into view, the man stood up, put on a proper smile, and stretched out his hand. “Hello, Boss Cui. This one is surnamed Xu, named Xu QingYuan. I apologize for reaching out to you through Director Lin.”

He handed over a business card. Cui QiChao glanced over it and found it was different from what he had imagined. This person had nothing with the school, but was instead the boss of a chain restaurant.

“It’s fine. What can I do for you, an esteemed one?” In actuality, Cui QiChao could roughly guess the other party’s intention.

Sure enough, Xu QingYuan claimed that he wanted to find him in order to partner up for development in the catering industry. Due to the small wave the first canteen made, Xu QingYuan proposed starting a brand that they would launch cooperatively together. x Fl9V

Xu QingYuan worked in the chain restaurant industry—specifically the fast food industry. The restaurant’s kitchen also cooked foods in huge amounts, so when he saw the news about the first canteen, he became very moved. He even came to CU to have a meal in the canteen and had been trying ever since to find Cui QiChao.

Cui QiChao frowned. “Did you buy a campus card from the student?” They had already banned this way of obtaining a pass to the canteen, how did he bypass the loopholes and obtain it?

Xu QingYuan started sweating. “That’s not the point…” He saw the look in Cui QiChao’s face and rushed to wash himself clean. “Ah, I didn’t get it from a student, I got it from the people in the financial department.”

Cui QiChao didn’t say anything. He made a note to himself to go back and talk to his uncle later so that they could emphasize how crucial this issue was with the staff. Iu8 Sd

“I’ve had a steady flow of customers due to my connections. The store is in a good place, but I lack brand influence. Now your canteen has a good reputation, but no channel to spread it.” Xu QingYuan excitedly explained.

“You see, if you take advantage of trends, you can open up a shop in the University City, and you can also find The Tales of Good Food to further advertise…” The other party’s thoughts were brimming with fantasies.

Unfortunately, Cui QiChao brought him back down to reality. He coldly rejected the other party. “Sorry, but I’m not leaving the school.” He didn’t know anything about the comments on the internet and was completely uninterested in any collaborations or developments.

“What? Why? Boss Cui, don’t you want to make money?” When Xu QingYuan spoke of his dream future, he burned with excitement again. However, his fire was drenched by Cui QiChao’s cold water. tlxqnI

Cui QiChao looked at him and said, “Did Director Lin not tell you that I used my personal ties to be able to even bid for the first canteen in the first place?”

“…Er, she did.” Xu QingYuan answered. “But I don’t think that’s a problem. Besides, shouldn’t you be more interested in my proposal? You can even grow vegetables, in fact, we can get a special plot of farmland and have it be a unique characteristic for the brand. My relatives have 800 mu of land in the suburbs, so we don’t have to go through the formalities. They can transfer the land over directly.”

Cui QiChao was suddenly very moved. A special plot of farmland!

Unfortunately, his actions were to be restricted to the campus because of the LJJ Company. 4GZs2l

“There’s no need, I’m just…” Cui QiChao sighed, thinking of an excuse seriously. “I just yearn for a romantic campus life.”

Xu QingYuan recalled the scene he’d just witnessed in the canteen downstairs. In his heart, he was mulling over where the connection between love and youth had gone.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

The faces of everyone in the canteen were filled with an overbearing aura of ‘Charge! If not, we won’t be able to get the dishes.’ The rushing crowd reminded him of a group of water ducks raised in his hometown, swarming to eat feed…

“I’m sorry.” Cui QiChao put on the posture of seeing off the guests and shook hands with Xu QingYuan again. ifQOxn

Full of regret, Xu QingYuan held onto Cui QiChao’s hand. But when he tried to pull back, he found himself stuck in a tight grip. “?”

Cui QiChao clenched Xu QingYuan’s hands, unwilling to let him go. The look in his eyes wasn’t calm anymore, instead sharp. Ah, this man was willing to come all this way to find him, and even promised 800 mu of farmland… But Cui QiChao was unable to go with him! Ah!

Xu QingYuan looked at their hands grasped together and felt goosebumps surfacing in his heart. He uncomfortably glanced down to see if his zipper had accidentally split open. “Boss Cui? W-What’s the matter?”

They were standing so close to one another that he felt the handsomeness of Boss Cui grow, and he even started feeling a little embarrassed. KdTdeO

Cui QiChao regretfully released Xu QingYuan’s hand and pressed down the reluctance in his heart. “Nothing. I won’t send you off.”.

After opening the door and leaving, Xu QingYuan kept checking himself over, but strangely enough, nowhere on him was dirty.

“Meow…” XiaoBai snuck into the room from a crack at the door and looked at its master with a strange look in its eyes. The scene where Cui QiChao clung onto Xu QingYuan and almost refused to let go was too bizarre.

Even more so when after he had left already, Cui QiChao slowly put his hand on his chest and a melancholy expression appeared on his normally blank face. I5ML9E

XiaoBai circled around Cui QiChao’s legs twice and put its front paw on his knee, looking at him with its head askew.

Cui QiChao leaned back on his chair and rubbed his eyebrows wearily. “It’s really hard to refuse such a person…”

XiaoBai: “!”

He grabbed onto XiaoBai’s paw and mournfully said, “Not only did he take the initiative to propose the idea of building farmland, but there was also an offer of 800 mu of land.” b1wuXn

XiaoBai: “…Meow, meow, meow?”

LJJ’s Livestream Platform.

In the livestream, Cui QiChao’s usual calm expression adorned with an occasional sarcastic smile, actually had waves of suppressed emotions in his eyes when he forcefully held onto Xu QingYuan’s hand. xVRyd9

After the man left, the camera did a close-up view of Cui QiChao’s beautiful face. His regretful and aggrieved look was even more heartbreaking..

Before Cui QiChao started speaking, the commentary was still clasping onto their hearts—it wasn’t until he opened his mouth, saying he almost couldn’t refuse 800 mu of land…

[Black-hearted divine farmer, farming in the school.]

[After watching the first episode, I have already understood. And I have completely adjusted my mindset.]

[I haven’t! My mind is going to explode! Why does this guy still want to talk!]

[I want to make complaints about Cui QiChao. Someone found him to open a restaurant together. But in the end, did his brain only remember the 800 mu of land?] 0XpJ7Q

[Fuck, this actor should be fined. The company sent you there to date, yet you feed the students every day, motherfucker, look how fat the CU students have become!!]

[I have become as fat as the CU students. After watching this episode, I ate five bowls of rice and got heavier by three jin.]

[I feel that because of him, the female genre would be harmed.]

[As long as he doesn’t speak, I can still be immersed in a fairy tale. QAQ, I decided to take revenge on society by cutting out his video clips and other scenes into a video that resembles something from the female genre, and spread it around to scam people.] S5EW9c

[Damn, the person above…good job! Go do it quickly!]
