Chapter 144

Both plants stared curiously at Yun Youyou.

Yun Youyou: “…”

First of all, she couldn’t answer that question.

Second, even if she could, she had no desire to tell the two of them that her research topic was actually to cultivate a Sunflower that didn’t swear.

If she said it out loud, those two ghosts would definitely laugh at her.

And so, Yun Youyou wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.

Fortunately, the two ghosts didn’t keep asking.

The agricultural students who had come to do research gradually left.

Only a gentle breeze remained.

Being a plant really was this boring. Aside from doing a little photosynthesis, there was basically nothing else to do.

Yun Youyou couldn’t speak, so she could only listen as Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy chattered about this and that.

Red-haired Trendy Guy said, “Fine, I can accept being a plant, but couldn’t they at least arrange for me to be something cool?”

Shamate said, “How cool are we talking? I think a Sunflower like Sister Yun is pretty good. When you’re bored, you can pluck sunflower seeds from your own flower head and snack on them.”

Red-haired Trendy Guy looked utterly resistant. “No way. That huge plate of a face on a Sunflower looks so stupid.”

Yun Youyou: “…Fuck!”

So what if a Sunflower’s face was a little big? Was it eating your family’s rice or something?

Seeing Red-haired Trendy Guy stubbornly charge toward his own death, Shamate hurriedly shuffled a few steps back.

Red-haired Trendy Guy immediately changed his tune.

“Pah, pah, pah. I was just talking nonsense. Even if Sister Yun turns into a Sunflower, she’s still the most beautiful Sunflower. Just look at Sister Yun’s tiny little face. It’s so tiny I can barely see it.”

Shamate silently added another flourish from the side.

“Sister Yun shines so brilliantly, how could anyone not see her? Sister Yun is like the sun goddess, spreading salvation upon us all!”

The two ghosts began showering Yun Youyou with frantic flattery.

Yun Youyou arrogantly lifted her flower head.

The sun gradually set.

Even her field of vision slowly darkened.

Back at the dorm, the more Su Gou thought about it, the more something felt wrong. The strange scene from daytime kept lingering in his mind.

Could that Sunflower really curse? Could it even dodge at will?

Su Gou lay in bed, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt something was off.

He suddenly climbed out of bed, walked over to the wardrobe, and started pulling on clothes.

“Brother Su, you’re going out this late?”

The guy sleeping in the other bed stared at Su Gou curiously.

As Su Gou got dressed, he said, “I’ve still got something to do. I need to go out for a bit.”

The guy said, “But it’s already dark outside. What if you run into those ghosts? And it’s all wilderness out there. Who knows, there might even be bodies buried underground!”

Su Gou said, “It’s fine. I’ll be back soon.”

Seeing that he couldn’t talk Su Gou out of it, the guy could only watch helplessly as he walked out the door.

Out in the wilds.

“Rustle, rustle… rustle, rustle…”

All three plants heard the strange sound.

Yun Youyou was the tallest, and with one glance, she spotted the uninvited guest making the noise.

Someone had actually come over this late at night.

Without saying a word, the three plants watched as a man pushed aside the weeds on the ground and crept toward them with his back bent.

Red-haired Trendy Guy found it bizarre.

“Coming out in the middle of the night? Isn’t he afraid of running into ghosts?”

The man’s steps didn’t stop. He drew closer and closer to the three plants.

Shamate said, “What exactly is this guy here for? He can’t be planning to do something bad, right?”

Red-haired Trendy Guy’s tone was firm. “Just look at that sleazy face of his. His belly’s definitely full of rotten schemes!”

All Yun Youyou knew was that this man had been one of the agricultural students from that morning. But looking at him now, he really did seem rather sleazy.
The man who had been unanimously judged as sleazy by all three plants still hadn’t noticed anything wrong. He just kept walking forward.

He didn’t stop until he was right in front of Yun Youyou.

The sleazy man looked around with satisfaction.

Red-haired Trendy Guy said, “What’s going on? Don’t tell me he’s fallen for Sister Yun’s beauty? Is he trying to turn into a flower thief in the middle of the night?”

Shamate said, “He actually dares to have designs on our Sister Yun? Watch me turn into a Peashooter and spray him to death!”

The sleazy man seemed to be waiting for someone.

He sat on the ground with one leg crossed over the other, letting out a creepy little chuckle every now and then.

It wasn’t until the moon had just climbed over the treetops that the sleazy man stood up and pulled a small flashlight out of his bag.

The glaring beam swept across the three plants.

Shamate said, “Does this guy have any sense of public decency? Waving a light around in the middle of the night like that.”

Waving a flashlight around was bad enough. What was even more wrong was that this sleazy man actually started undoing his belt.

The man fumbled with his belt impatiently.

“Forget it. I’ll just make do and take a piss here.”

Yun Youyou: !!!

Shamate: !!!

Don’t you come any closer!

Red-haired Trendy Guy had already started singing, “Take a pee~~ gonna take a pee~~”

Under the Sunflower’s horrified gaze, the man had already undone his belt.

Holding up his pants, he began choosing among the three plants.

“Where should I pee?”

All three plants looked horrified.

The sleazy man thought it over for a while. In the end, his gaze landed on the Sunflower.

“Then I’ll pee right here!”

Shamate and Red-haired Trendy Guy both let out a sigh of relief.

Yun Youyou sucked in a cold breath.

Damn you!

The sleazy man had no idea that the Sunflower in front of him had already entered berserk mode.

Without the slightest scruple, he started taking off his pants.

Just as he was about to pull down his zipper, the sleazy man suddenly realized it was a little awkward to operate while holding the flashlight.

Sticking out his rear, he turned around to set the flashlight down.

The instant the sleazy man turned around, Yun Youyou could take it no longer. She yanked her roots out of the soil and kicked him squarely in the butt.

Go to hell!

The sleazy man’s butt was struck by a sudden heavy blow.

He lurched forward hard, staggered a few steps, and finally landed flat on his backside.

“Hiss…”

The man rubbed his butt and climbed up from the ground.

Grimacing in pain, he turned to look, but he didn’t notice anything wrong at all.

How strange. Why had he suddenly fallen forward for no reason?

In the night wind, the Sunflower stood quietly in the soil, peaceful and beautiful.

Not far away, Su Gou rubbed his eyes again.

He felt his headache getting even worse.

Had he really just seen a Sunflower move its foot and kick someone???

What on earth was wrong with this world?!

The sleazy man thought for ages but still couldn’t figure out why.

“Forget it. I’ll just pee somewhere else.”

Muttering to himself, he changed positions.

Yun Youyou could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

How she wished someone would put up a sign here that said no peeing everywhere.

Shamate looked at the sleazy man’s back.

“From a plant’s perspective, urine does seem to count as fertilizer.”

Red-haired Trendy Guy said, “Then when the time comes, I’ll go shit and piss on your head.”

Shamate said, “Get lost!!!”

After the man finished peeing, he gave himself a comfortable shake.

He didn’t leave. Instead, he continued loitering around nearby.

All three plants were puzzled.

Shamate said, “What exactly is he waiting for? It’s already so late. Why isn’t he going back?”
