Seeing her fidgeting and hesitant to act, Wu Tian grew impatient.
"Hey, are you going to take it off or not? If not, I'm leaving."
Zhao Xiaoli's heart quickened, and she placed her hands on her clothes. "What are you in such a hurry for? I'm starting to take it off, aren't I?"
It took Zhao Xiaoli a full minute to take off her clothes, and she had only managed to pull it halfway up.
Wu Tian shook his head and sighed, "Oh, forget it. This is good enough."
"I really don't understand. Aren't you usually quite fierce? How are you still so traditional in this regard?"
Zhao Xiaoli's face turned as red as a ripe apple. She thought to herself, what are you talking about? I'm a girl, how could I not be shy?
At this moment, Wu Tian sat behind Zhao Xiaoli.
To be honest, Zhao Xiaoli's skin was really good. Her fair back even had a slight sheen, almost flawless.
"Take a deep breath, I'm going to start the massage," Wu Tian said, placing his palms on Zhao Xiaoli's waist.
That area was inherently sensitive, and coupled with Zhao Xiaoli's nervousness, her delicate body trembled slightly the moment Su Dong touched it.
"You... could you use a bit more force?" Zhao Xiaoli said, her face flushed red. "You're tickling me like this."
"You're asking for so much for a free massage," Wu Tian grumbled irritably, then increased the pressure.
Zhao Xiaoli couldn't quite describe the feeling. She just felt Wu Tian's palms were so large and warm.
It felt as if a stream of warmth was flowing from Wu Tian's hands into her body.
She felt her whole body go soft, yet it was very comfortable, and even her skin seemed to become much more hydrated.
"Alright," Wu Tian stood up and said. "Your waist is all better now."
"It's already better?"
Zhao Xiaoli was very surprised. It had only been about ten seconds, how could it be better?
Wu Tian said, "Of course it's better. What's wrong, do you want me to touch you for a while longer? That's fine too."
Wu Tian's teasing words made Zhao Xiaoli feel very embarrassed.
She let her clothes down, was silent for a moment, then said, "Brother Wu Tian, thank you."
"What did you say?" Wu Tian thought he had misheard.
This time, Zhao Xiaoli's address of "Brother Wu Tian" was not rough like before, but carried the delicacy of a young girl, making one's heart flutter.
For the first time, he realized that this girl, Zhao Xiaoli, actually had some charm!
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaoli was also stunned.
She hadn't expected to say something like that so spontaneously.
She felt her face was about to burn, and not only did she turn her back to Wu Tian, but she also covered her face with her hands.
Wu Tian found her actions strange but didn't ask further, muttering, "So inexplicable."
With that, he didn't linger, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
Only after Wu Tian left did Zhao Xiaoli finally turn back.
She looked at Wu Tian's receding figure, a deep blush rising in her eyes...
After leaving Zhao Xiaoli's house, Wu Tian had intended to go home.
But as he walked, he realized he was quite close to Xu Xiaofang's house, so he changed his mind and decided to check on the vegetable patch first.
The vegetable patch now was very different from the beginning.
Looking out, the vast land was a sea of white and green, as if this were not a vegetable garden but a collection of white jade and emeralds.
Any boss who saw this scene would probably clap Wu Tian on the shoulder and exclaim, "My friend! Partner with me! I'll give you any amount of money!"
Wu Tian saw Xu Xiaofang in the cabbage patch, holding a notebook and pen, writing something. He walked over and smiled, "Hey, busy?"
Xu Xiaofang was startled, but upon seeing it was Wu Tian, she immediately smiled again.
"Wu Tian, is that you? I'm just tallying the numbers to avoid any mistakes when shipping."
Wu Tian nodded, his eyes full of admiration.
As expected of a graduate from a prestigious university, she was so meticulous.
If he had to do this kind of work, he would probably be driven mad by the numbers.
Wu Tian said with a smile, "Xiaofang, you don't have to work so hard. You should rest when you need to."
"Your skin is so good, I'd feel terrible if it got tanned because of this."
Xu Xiaofang also smiled and said, "It's okay, Wu Tian. You've given me such good treatment, if I don't work hard, wouldn't that be letting you down?"
Wu Tian nodded. "Xiaofang, you're so good. Whoever marries you in the future will surely be very comfortable."
Xu Xiaofang's pretty face blushed slightly, and she whispered, "I don't want to marry anyone else..."
"What did you say?" Wu Tian hadn't heard clearly.
Xu Xiaofang was suddenly startled, and her small head shook like a rattle. "No, no, I didn't say anything. You didn't hear anything!"
To change the subject, she quickly added, "By the way, Wu Tian, there's actually something I wanted to tell you."
"This place is so big, and the quality of your cabbages is so good, I think it would be best to find a few people to guard it."
"Otherwise, I'm really worried someone might come and steal the vegetables one day."
Wu Tian thought this suggestion was quite good. After all, Xu Xiaofang was just a frail woman, how could he let her guard the vegetable garden?
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll find a few strong men later. If they stand guard here, let's see who dares to steal the vegetables!"
Xu Xiaofang was amused by Wu Tian's words and giggled incessantly, like a pure white lily.
Wu Tian's gaze happened to fall on Xu Xiaofang's skirt, which was dirty, and he couldn't help but say, "Xiaofang, why is your skirt dirty?"
"Oh!" Xu Xiaofang finally noticed and quickly patted her skirt. "Maybe I got it dirty earlier and didn't notice."
Wu Tian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, Xiaofang? Tomorrow afternoon, you come with me to the county town, and I'll buy you some clothes as compensation."
Xu Xiaofang repeatedly shook her head. "No, no, no, you don't have to. This skirt will be fine after washing."
Wu Tian smiled. "You're managing my vegetable garden now. When you go out to do business in the future, it's good to dress more presentably!"
"You're so beautiful, you'll surely stun many people!"
Xu Xiaofang blushed and asked softly, "Wu Tian, do you really think I'm beautiful?"
"Of course, you're beautiful!" Wu Tian said. "Not only are you beautiful, but you're also so pure."
"In today's society, there aren't many clean girls like you anymore!"
Xu Xiaofang was very happy to be praised by Wu Tian. "Wu Tian, thank you."
"I just praised you once, what's there to thank for," Wu Tian said. "Then it's settled. We'll go to the county town together tomorrow afternoon!"
With that, Wu Tian didn't stay any longer and left directly.
Looking at Wu Tian's retreating back, Xu Xiaofang cupped her blushing face and said, "Wu Tian, how can there be such a good person like you in this world?"
"I, I really like you so much..."
