The earth bean was the “fuel”, which could emit a special substance during its growth for the “mushroom” on top of it to glow. The emission of such substance would continue from the time the earth beans ripened to the time they withered. When the “mushroom” on top absorbed all nutrients inside the fruit, it would slowly wither, and be replaced by an earth bean seed.
It’s a very concise and clear description of the growth pattern of earth beans, and even a person with inadequate brain capacity like Rong Gui could…pfft! Inadequate brain capacity my ass! How could he also get carried away by Xiao Mei? It’s all Xiao Mei’s fault!
Rong Gui cast a sorrowful glance at Xiao Mei who was holding the ladder for him below, and sighed. Then, with great care, he took out a seed from the “mushroom lamps” under the house eaves with his crude mechanical fingers.
The fruit of the earth beans was quite sturdy, but their seeds were very delicate. Rong Gui didn’t manage to well handle his strength, and as a result, he crushed another seed.
Letting out a sigh, Rong Gui had to transplant a new “mushroom” into the original “lamp shade”.
Only after he climbed down the ladder did he start complaining: “Xiao Mei, you see, I crushed another seed again. It’s all because you’ve made me bad fingers, and it’s too difficult for me to take control of my strength with them. Look, these fingers are so thick, and there are only three of them in each hand – you can’t just cut corners like that! I’m not asking you to make my fingers look better than my original ones, but you can’t fool me in such careless manners!”
Calmly putting the ladder away, Xiao Mei just deftly picked up a seed from the nearby earth bean field and threw it into the basket, and said coolly, “If you want to run, first learn to walk.”
Rong Gui: “Hah?”
Xiao Mei glanced at him indifferently, “If you can’t even control three fingers, who are you to ask for five fingers? Each additional finger will double the difficulty of operation. I really haven’t thought that there would be people who couldn’t even operate three fingers flexibly.”
Although they were of the same height, Rong Gui felt that he was looked down upon by Xiao Mei again.
Er…why did he use the word “again”?

In this way, Rong Gui’s pursuit of beauty was once again beaten back by Xiao Mei with just a few words.

Wasn’t this too arbitrary and careless?
When Rong Gui, holding the photo, protested to Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei merely responded him lightly with one sentence:
“My looks are fairly arbitrary, too.”
Well…y-yes. Xiao Mei’s looks were even more arbitrary than his own.
Compared to Xiao Mei, his own head was rounder~ When he got used to looking at it, it even seemed kind of cute…
Wait – hold on! Such aesthetic was too distorted! He absolutely could not be led astray by Xiao Mei!
He felt the urgent need to look at his original body to cleanse his eyes!!!
Thus, when he found out that the more he looked, the better he felt with his three fingers, Rong Gui made a request to Xiao Mei:
“Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, may I see my body?” When he rushed over, Xiao Mei was already sitting up straight in bed. The dirty little robot had utterly no intention to clean up the mud on himself. Upon seeing this, Rong Gui once again couldn’t bear the sight of it.
“Look at you, why are you sitting in bed just like that again? Lift your feet and I’ll wipe them for you.” While speaking, Rong Gui grabbed a rag and caught Xiao Mei’s feet.
Even when he’s working, he didn’t forget his original purpose. After wiping Xiao Mei, he also grabbed Xiao Mei up and began to shake him. While shaking, Rong Gui said, “My aesthetics were almost distorted by you, and I have to look at my own face to cleanse my eyes.”
↑
That’s how confident he was! What Rong Gui was thinking, he would just say it out directly.
“Judging by your poor aesthetics, Xiao Mei, your original looks must also have been very arbitrary, weren’t they? But no worries, by looking at me more often, you will know where the difference lies. When you repair our bodies later, there will be more or less a goal set for you to strive for~”
He said, giving Xiao Mei another heavy shake. With one last seed sliding down from the gap in Xiao Mei’s body, Xiao Mei was completely shaken clean by him.
Putting Xiao Mei back to his original position, Rong Gui looked at Xiao Mei expectantly.
Xiao Mei gazed back at him, expressionless.
Feeling a thump in his heart, Rong Gui suddenly thought, “What? Could it be that the air here is still so bad? Our bodies will kick the bucket as soon as they are taken out?”
This problem was very serious! Compared to cleansing his eyes, the safety of his body was of course more important. But their bodies had been lying like fried dough twists in the coffin…no, freezing cabin for several days. If this continued…wouldn’t they strain their back muscles in the long run?
Rong Gui thought to himself. Temporarily distracted, he spilled out what was in his mind.
“The air here won’t cause harm to the bodies. The bodies won’t kick the bucket when taken out.” At this moment, Xiao Mei, who had been motionless as if he were dead, suddenly spoke.
Although he was startled by Xiao Mei’s sudden speech again, Rong Gui was more than happy to hear such words!
After who-knew-how-many years, he could finally get to see his body!
Thus, the two little robots stood together on the bed, and worked in collaboration to push open the freezing cabin.
As the hatch of the freezing cabin moved up inch by inch, Rong Gui became more and more nervous. A white cold haze slowly spread out from the freezing cabin, blurring the view of the two robots. Even though he couldn’t feel cold, Rong Gui could see a thin layer of ice quickly gathering on the surface of his metal body.
When the white haze gradually dispersed and he was about to see his own body, Rong Gui subconsciously clenched his fists.
Then, the haze eventually faded to the point where he could see the inside of the freezing cabin clearly.
Rong Gui yelled out loud.
Staring incredulously at the inside of the freezing cabin, Rong Gui was stupefied by what he saw. There were two reasons why he’s so shocked:
First, after who-knew-how-many hundreds of years, how come his body lost every single trace of beauty?!
Second, Xiao Mei was cheating! His looks weren’t arbitrary at all!!!
Shameless shameless shameless shameless Ah Gui!
Yoooo, another chapter full of their cuteness! Thank you very much for this! I hope you’re doing well
Lol, to be honest, Rong Gui kinda asked for it. He’s a little too obsessed with his looks, sooo…^^ It’s fun to see him shocked over his own body and at the same time stunned at seeing Xiao Mei’s obviously good looks.🤣
