Chapter 213: Absolute Uni (1/2)

It was very late. I tossed and turned in my bed but couldn’t fall asleep. Dinner had been prepared by my second aunt, who lived just next door. There was an incredible variety of countryside dishes such as scrambled egg with garlic moss, braised chicken and so on. He Yi was very happy. She said that it was impossible to eat something like this in the city.

My thoughts were a mess as I stared at the ceiling.

Did He Yi fall asleep already?

I had no idea.

What about Lin Yixin? She must have fallen asleep by now, right?

Maybe. Or maybe she was burning the midnight oil and grinding away. She must’ve left me behind in the dust already!

……

Somehow I managed to fall asleep, and it was daybreak by the time I opened my eyes again. After I was done washing myself, I saw He Yi standing at the balcony, closing her eyes and breathing deeply. The way her breasts went up and down made my heart race a little.

“What are you doing?” I walked up to her and asked.

He Yi smiled but didn’t open her eyes. She said, “I’m inhaling the morning’s fresh air, of course. Do you think you can find such high quality air in our highly-polluted Suzhou New District?”

I nodded. “Of course not. It’s been two years since I saw a single bird in the New District.”

He Yi finally opened her eyes and stared at me. The spirit in her eyes was positively charming. “Lu Chen, my car is still at the town, and it’s a long way away from here. I tried calling a cab but couldn’t find one so far. What should we do?”

It was a problem. I replied, “It’s fine, we’ll find a way after we finish breakfast. Worse comes to worst, I guess we can walk there. It’ll only take less than an hour…”

“What? An hour of walking?” He Yi gaped at me before smiling again. “I don’t walk too much, you know. Ten minutes is enough to make me pant as hard as a puppy. Are you sure you want to make me walk for an entire hour?”

I was speechless. “Then I’ll carry you all the way to Suzhou on my back. That fine with you?”

“Why not! Let’s do it!”

“...”

After we went downstairs and finished breakfast, I gave my father a different card with 50k RMB in it. It was about 50% of what I had earned in Heavenblessed thus far. I told him that he should spend it on daily expenses, and that he didn’t need to save up anymore. I even returned him everything he had given me earlier. I now had sizable achievements in Heavenblessed, and it was only a matter of time before my earnings grew to a couple million.

Meanwhile, He Yi was standing at the doorway, worried. “What should we do? Are we seriously walking all the way back to town?”

It was at this moment my father put down his chopsticks and smiled. “Fret not, manager. I made a call just now, and transport will be arriving in ten minutes!”

“Really?” He Yi bounced excitedly. “Thank you, uncle!”

He Yi and I stood at the door and waited. About ten minutes later, our private transport finally showed up. It was a super heavyweight with an engine that tutted rapidly like a machine gun!

He Yi’s eyes turned into saucers. “A two-wheel tractor? Oh, my, god~~”

It was as He Yi said, a two-wheel tractor. The small open trailer of the tractor was filled with bundled stalks. They looked pretty sturdy.

Father smiled at us with his palms pressed together. “Your third uncle was going to drag these soybean stalks to the west side of the town, so I told him to give you a lift. It’s going to be a slightly uncomfortable trip, but it’s still better than walking, right?”

He Yi and I exchanged a look with each other. In the end, we both burst into laughter.

While giggling, He Yi said, “Why not? I’ve sat in Rolls-Royce, Porsche, and limited edition Audi, but I’ve never tried a two-wheel tractor before. It’ll be a, uh, great experience. Should we go, Lu Chen?”

I nodded cheerfully.

First, I carried over a ladder and propped it against the tractor. Then, I supported He Yi carefully and got her up to the top of the soybean stalks. The soybeans hadn’t been dehulled yet, so the stalks were filled with soybeans. Some of the pods were cracked and formed tiny thorns that weren’t sharp enough to pierce the skin, but still made for a painful experience to sit on.

He Yi was wearing a uniform and a short skirt, so at least part of her bare legs were directly exposed to these thorns. After trying to find a comfortable position to no avail, she laughed. “It’s so prickly! What to do, what to do?”

I moved to the center of the stalk pile and sat down like it was my throne. I gave He Yi a smile and said, “Eve, do you want to sit next to me?”

“But it’s going to hurt a lot…”

I thought for a moment. “What should we do?”

A light bulb flashed above He Yi’s head when she stared at me. “Can you press your feet together so I can sit on them?”

“You’re going to break my legs like that!”

“I’m not that heavy!” He Yi shot me a glare before chiding, “Now less talking, more action!”

I curled my lips but obeyed the command. After He Yi gathered her skirt and sat carefully on my thighs, I grabbed her arms to prevent her from falling. The danger was very real, and it was hardly the time to get embarrassed over skinship.

At the driver’s seat, my third uncle called out to me. “Lu Chen, we’re leaving! You guys ready?”

“Yeah!”

I bade my father goodbye, and the tractor started moving. The engine made “tut-tut” noises, and thick smoke exited the exhaust pipe.

It didn’t seem all that dangerous when the tractor was on standby, but that changed immediately when it started moving, and the stalk pile started shaking like an earthquake. He Yi immediately turned green with fright and clung to me as hard as she could.

I myself was holding onto a rope behind me with one hand and keeping a tight hold around He Yi with my other arm.

The road was bumpy. Our ride was equally as bumpy.

By now He Yi was completely pale, clinging to my neck and letting out strange squeals of fear like her life depended on it. She didn’t even care if her expensive uniform might be wrinkled or tattered after this.

For a time, I could feel her soft, round breasts pressing against my chest. It was as suffocating as it was wonderful. Whoever designed this uniform had my utmost respect because the fabric did nothing to insulate the sensation at all.

He Yi was so frightened she could faint. I was so happy I could faint.
