47: Chapter 47 Men in Love

Hearing Huo Sixian's words, Ye Qingqing felt her face flush with embarrassment for a moment.

Huo Sixian continued to explain, "I saw that you didn't come over at noon, so I knocked on the door. Ah Huang opened it."

Hearing this, Ye Qingqing immediately looked at Ah Huang. Ah Huang had been snuggling in Ye Qingqing's arms, acting spoiled, but he perked up upon hearing Huo Sixian mention his name.

Ah Huang's tail wagged so hard it almost reached the sky.

He barked several times: "Woof!" (That's right, I'm the one who opened the door!)

Ye Qingqing was a bit surprised. She felt that Ah Huang's intelligence had increased significantly, though she couldn't quite put her finger on how.

The room fell silent for a moment as Huo Sixian stood up and tucked the covers around Ye Qingqing.

His tone carried a hint of tenderness: "Get some good rest. You can't rush your training; just running five kilometers a day is enough."

Huo Sixian left after saying that.

He left behind Ye Qingqing, whose ears were beet red, and Ah Huang, who had a look on his face like he was watching some juicy gossip.

For some reason, Ye Qingqing felt that Huo Si's tone was strangely... doting?

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.

Ye Qingqing looked at Ah Huang. "Ah Huang, how did you open the door? Show me."

Ah Huang barked again and immediately jumped off the bed. Wagging his tail, he walked to the door, suddenly leaped up, and hooked his paws onto the door handle.

With a click, the door opened on its own.

Ye Qingqing's eyes widened as she watched this. If she remembered correctly, Ah Huang hadn't been this smart before!

What was going on?

Meanwhile, Huo Sixian, who had walked out of Room 323, was not acting normal at all, even muttering to himself.

"Was my tone too harsh just now? If she doesn't want to listen to me anymore, what will I do..."

"How could I just act on my impulses like that... Was it too abrupt?"

Huo Sixian's mind was now filled with the scene of him tucking the covers in for Ye Qingqing.

Thinking of Ye Qingqing's fair face, Huo Sixian's heart couldn't stop pounding.

He even looked a bit nervous when he returned to Room 321.

Nearby, Meng Hangfei had been immersed in lifting weights, but when he saw his boss's lips curl into an involuntary smirk, he couldn't help but feel goosebumps prickle his back.

He nudged Lu Huan with his elbow. "Hey, do you think the Boss is possessed? Since he came back from across the hall—no, since he stepped into this room—that smile hasn't left his face."

Kong Ziyi stood to the side with his arms crossed. "You single dogs wouldn't understand. This is called the charm of love."

For some reason, even though they hadn't eaten, Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei felt as uncomfortable as if they had been stuffed with a handful of dog food.

Watching Huo Sixian's back as he returned to his room, Kong Ziyi couldn't help but sigh. "Ah, a man in love..."

Kong Ziyi's response was a slipper that landed right on his face.

Huo Sixian moved fast; Kong Ziyi didn't even have time to dodge. Even though it was just a small slipper, Kong Ziyi was knocked to the ground, and blood began to trickle from his nose.

Seeing this, Lu Huan and Meng Hangfei couldn't help but sigh.

"Why do I feel like the Boss has gotten stronger again?" Lu Huan whispered to himself.

Meng Hangfei looked at Lu Huan like he was an idiot. "Drop the 'feel like'."

Meanwhile, Kong Ziyi, lying on the ground, looked like he had lost all hope in life.

No, why? Why did no one care about him?

Lying there, Kong Ziyi felt like dying in his heart. Why was he the one who always got hurt?

Ye Qingqing knew nothing of this, nor did they notice the water level outside slowly rising.

Ye Qingqing took this opportunity to enter her Space and begin her great farming plan. Since there wasn't much time left, it added up to only 42 minutes.

Which equated to 6 hours. While outside the Space, Ye Qingqing had tried to use her thoughts to control the hoe to start tilling the fields.

But the effect was minimal, so she had no choice but to do it herself.

It just so happened that there was no training this afternoon, which made it convenient for Ye Qingqing to work hard in the Space.

Watching the time fly by in the Space, Ye Qingqing suddenly felt that the time here was just like a person's salary.

You save it just to spend it. Even if she didn't use the time for farming now, sooner or later, the time in the Space would disappear in all sorts of strange ways.

Just like money.

And with six hours available, Ye Qingqing estimated that she could stay in the Space for at most two hours.

When Ye Qingqing entered the Space, she brought Ah Huang along with her.

The moment Ah Huang entered the open ground of the Space, he suddenly became extremely excited. The area in the Space was very large, and there was a thin layer of lawn on the open ground.

Ye Qingqing let Ah Huang run wild; after all, he hadn't had a chance to frolic in a long time.

Ye Qingqing made the most of her time, found a hoe in the Space, and began to dig in the open ground, working with her face to the soil and her back to the sky.

Perhaps because of the farming genes inherent in Huaxia people, Ye Qingqing mastered the essence of digging after quickly watching a few videos.

Her footing had to be steady, and her core had to be tight; otherwise, after digging for half a day, her waist would be ruined.

And with every stroke of the hoe, a clump of soil had to be turned up.

Ye Qingqing's speed was very fast. In less than an hour, a small plot of land was cleared.

Looking at this small plot, Ye Qingqing took out a rake to break up the large clumps of earth.

Ye Qingqing discovered that the soil in the Space didn't look any different from the soil outside.

Having no experience with her first planting, she followed what she saw in the videos: scatter the seeds, cover them with soil, and finally pour on some water.

It looked quite simple.

But when it came to the actual operation, Ye Qingqing found that while scattering the seeds was easy, she struggled to master the looseness of the soil when covering them.

After all that effort, it took much more time than Ye Qingqing had imagined.

It took a full two and a half hours.

Heartbroken over the time spent, Ye Qingqing quickly took Ah Huang out of the Space.

Just as she left the Space, she heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Seeing her clothes covered in mud, Ye Qingqing thought to herself that this was bad. She quickly took a set of clean clothes from the Space and changed before going to open the door.

However, the moment she opened the door, Ye Qingqing was pulled into a firm embrace.

Ye Qingqing's face was pressed against Huo Sixian's hard chest, and her cheek brushed against his firm abdominal muscles.

From above her head came Huo Sixian's anxious voice: "You scared me to death."

"You..." Ye Qingqing felt the breath between them, and a steaming sensation gradually rose to the base of her ears...
