Chapter 25: On Purpose

“Wei Luan, your hand is bleeding. Are you crazy?” Ergou panicked when he saw Wei Luan’s fingers cut by the wheat.

Wei Luan wiped the sweat off his forehead and lowered his head to continue cutting the wheat. At the same time, he responded to Ergou in a muffled voice, “Just do your work. Don’t worry about me.”

“You’re crazy! I don’t care anymore!” Ergou was furious. He did not understand why Wei Luan was acting so strangely today.

In fact, when he found out that Lin Yi had been sent to the cotton field, Wei Luan decided to finish his farming work early today and rush over to help Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was a timid girl, so she must be feeling helpless right now. Wei Luan wished he had two pairs of hands and kept telling himself to go faster!

As he moved too quickly, Wei Luan’s hand was inevitably scratched by the wheat and the edge of the leaves. At this moment, his hand was covered in tiny scratches.

On a small path not far away, Lan Hui slowly walked towards the wheat field. Behind her were two production team members who helped carry the iron buckets.

After arriving at the wheat field, Lan Hui tidied her clothes and hair. After confirming that she was in her most beautiful state, she raised her voice and called everyone to drink the autumn pear soup.

“Brother Ergou, do you want some autumn pear soup? It’s freshly cooked with rock sugar and it’s very sweet!” Lan Hui walked over to Ergou and Wei Luan and shouted.

Ergou raised his head and nodded hastily. “Yes, yes, yes!”

Lan Hui’s target was not Ergou. She scooped a bowl of autumn pear soup for Ergou absent-mindedly and then looked in Wei Luan’s direction.

Lan Hui was shocked that Wei Luan did not even raise his head to look at her from the beginning to the end. He had been burying his head in harvesting wheat as if what happened outside had nothing to do with him.

Lan Hui was sure that her voice was not soft and Wei Luan must have heard her.

Why didn’t he look up at her?

Perhaps he was doing it purposely. Yes, he must be too embarrassed to look up at her. After all, in his previous life, he had always secretly liked her and did not even dare to take the initiative to talk to her.

A sweet and shy smile appeared on Lan Hui’s lips. She personally picked up the metal spoon and scooped up the green bean paste at the bottom of the metal bucket.

There were the most green beans at the bottom, and they were also the sweetest. Lan Hui filled a bowl and walked to Wei Luan’s side. She called out softly, “Brother Wei Luan, do you want some autumn pear soup?”

Wei Luan raised his head when he heard someone calling his name. He saw that it was Lan Hui and hurriedly replied, “No thanks.”

Then, he lowered his head and continued working.

Lan Hui’s smile froze.

Ergou saw that Lan Hui was a little embarrassed and said loudly, “Wei Luan, try it. There’s a lot of rock sugar added. It’s very sweet. I’m sure you’ve never tasted such delicious autumn pear soup!”

Lan Hui immediately added, “That’s right, Brother Wei Luan. Everyone else has drunk it. If you don’t drink it, I’m afraid others will say that you have something against me!”

Wei Luan wanted to find Lin Yi as soon as possible and was already feeling frustrated. He did not want to drink any autumn pear soup.

Besides, Lin Yi did not want him to spend too much time with Lan Hui. Even though Lin Yi was not in the wheat field, he did not want to drink the food that Lan Hui gave him.

Wei Luan frowned, raised his head, and said coldly, “I don’t like to eat green beans. If you don’t mind the trouble, send the autumn pear soup to the cotton field and give it to my wife, Lin Yi.”

Lan Hui’s face turned pale when she heard Wei Luan’s words.

She specially made him a bowl of autumn pear soup for more than an hour. In order not to make things difficult for him, she even gave a bowl to the others in the wheat field. However, not only did he not want it, he even asked her to give it to Lin Yi.

Lan Hui would not even give Lin Yi a sip even if she threw away the rest of the pear soup!

Why did Wei Luan have to say these words to anger her? He clearly liked her, right?

Wei Luan must have done it on purpose. This must be it. He was angry at her for getting too close to Jing Yan. Now, he was throwing a tantrum at her. He was just saying that to express his dissatisfaction.

She really did not expect Wei Luan to be the jealous type.

The anger in Lan Hui’s heart instantly turned into shyness and sweetness. She coughed and was about to say something when an honest-looking man suddenly walked over.

When he saw Lan Hui, the man did not dare to look at her directly. He lowered his head and rubbed his muddy hands in embarrassment. “Sister Lan Hui, my brother just came to bring me water. Do you have any more autumn pear soup? Can you let him try it too? I don’t need an entire bowl. Half a bowl will do.”
