Chapter 147
Chapter 147
When he saw a red flower, he said, “Brother Su, this one is red!”
Along the way, Su Gou’s expression grew darker and darker.
Every time he tried to stop his roommate, his roommate would say, “Brother Su, don’t stop me. I just want to do what little I can for you.”
Su Gou: …
It was like there were a hundred flies buzzing beside his ears.
Forget it. Two people from different species simply couldn’t communicate.
He would let him discover the truth about being cheated on for himself.
Red-haired Trendy Guy spotted the two of them walking over from a distance.
After seeing Su Gou’s expression, he offered his assessment.
“Looks like he’s in a pretty bad mood today.”
Shamate said, “Whether he’s in a good mood or not doesn’t matter. As long as his roommate can cure me.”
That was right. Su Gou’s roommate’s research topic was cultivating a Pea Sprout into a Peashooter.
Whether it could become a Peashooter was still unknown, but from the look of things, even keeping it alive as a Pea Sprout was about to become impossible.
Almost the moment they stepped into the field, Su Gou couldn’t wait to split up from his roommate and walked straight over to Yun Youyou.
How had he never noticed before that this roommate was so annoying?
Su Gou set a large stack of books on the ground, then crouched down and looked at the Sunflower.
Yun Youyou stared curiously at the stack of books on the ground.
A burst of commotion came from the side.
“Holy crap! Why has my Pea Sprout all turned yellow?!”
His roommate circled the Pea Sprout again and again.
He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
“Brother Su, hurry over and help me take a look!”
Su Gou had no desire to pay him any attention right now. Hearing him, he merely glanced over and said casually, “It probably can’t be saved. You might as well bring it over and use it as fertilizer for my Sunflower!”
Pea Sprout: !!!
Shamate glared at Su Gou in fury. “What a vicious-hearted man!”
His roommate panicked too.
“How can that be okay?! I think it’s your Sunflower that stole all the nutrients from my Pea Sprout, causing it to become malnourished!”
Yun Youyou had been standing there perfectly innocently, only to have a huge pot of blame dumped on her out of nowhere.
Su Gou said coldly, “Nonsense.”
The more his roommate looked at the Sunflower, the more he felt that possibility made sense.
“Your Sunflower seems to have grown a bit taller again. Big and sturdy like that, it looks overnourished.”
After “plump and robust,” Yun Youyou gained yet another new descriptor-big and sturdy.
Yun Youyou: …Why launch personal attacks against an adorable Sunflower’s body?
His roommate couldn’t do anything to the Sunflower, so he had no choice but to bring over a shovel.
As long as he moved the Pea Sprout to a place with plenty of nutrients, his precious little sprout would be able to thrive.
Shamate bid farewell through tears. “Sister Yun, I have to say goodbye to you for now! When night comes, I’ll definitely be back!”
Yun Youyou: “Damn it!”
Now only Red-haired Trendy Guy was left by Yun Youyou’s side.
After transplanting the Pea Sprout elsewhere, Su Gou’s roommate ran back again.
That was just the kind of person he was. His temper came and went quickly, and he didn’t hold grudges at all.
“Oh right, Brother Su, what was your research topic again?”
Su Gou had his head lowered as he searched through the books he’d brought. Hearing this, he replied without looking up, “Cultivating a civilized Sunflower.”
His roommate: ?
“This Sunflower looks pretty civilized to me.”
Su Gou said, “Perhaps it only looks that way.”
His roommate asked, “Then how do you plan to cultivate it?”
Su Gou said, “By reading books to it.”
His roommate: ???
Yun Youyou: ???
She hurriedly lowered her head and looked, only to find several books laid out neatly on the ground.
Dao De Jing, Three Character Classic, The Analects…
Su Gou picked up a book and began reading aloud slowly in a deep voice.
“Men at their birth are naturally good…”
Yun Youyou: I’m just a Sunflower. Why am I being subjected to children’s primers here?!
Not a single plant present could understand what Su Gou was doing-including his human roommate.
Red-haired Trendy Guy was deeply shaken. “Wild. This move is way too wild!”
The roommate thought Su Gou had simply lost his mind.
What normal person read books to a Sunflower?
As it happened, his girlfriend came by to find him, so the roommate hurried off to keep her company.
Su Gou really did have patience. Under the blazing sun, he read to Yun Youyou for the entire morning.
Yun Youyou was getting drowsy.
Sorry, I probably have a plant brain. Its defining trait is that knowledge can’t get in.
Red-haired Trendy Guy had also been practically hypnotized.
“My brain probably comes with a top-tier filter installed. All the garbage gets in, but not a single word of knowledge can pass through.”
He was close to Yun Youyou, so he had been forced to listen to a whole morning of scripture-like chanting.
“I’m so jealous of Shamate. He moved out early and didn’t have to suffer through this torture. This guy is definitely going to be a good dad someday. Even my dad never read to me this patiently!”
It was about time for dinner.
Su Gou finally closed the book in his hands.
Maybe it was his imagination, or maybe the noon sun had been too intense, but he felt like the Sunflower in front of him looked a little wilted, as if it had lost all energy.
He had read to it all morning. Who knew if it had worked?
Su Gou set down the book and placed his hand on Yun Youyou’s leaf again.
This time, Yun Youyou refused to make a sound no matter what.
If Su Gou started chanting at her again, that would be disastrous.
Su Gou kept his hand there for a long while, but he didn’t hear even half a word from the Sunflower before him.
One man and one sunflower remained locked in a stalemate.
Yun Youyou: Persistence is victory.
Su Gou suddenly let out a soft laugh.
Yun Youyou instantly sensed trouble.
The next second, Yun Youyou felt her palm itch terribly.
This Su Gou was way too evil. He was actually tickling her leaf!
It was like ten thousand ants were crawling over her hand. Yun Youyou couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing with a pfft.
“Sun!”
Yun Youyou hurriedly shut her mouth, but it was already too late.
Su Gou withdrew his hand in satisfaction and said calmly, “I’ll come back this afternoon to read to you again.”
From the bottom of her heart, Yun Youyou said, “Sun!”
Red-haired Trendy Guy sighed with emotion. “Congratulations. Looks like you’ve gained a responsible daddy-nanny. Just listen properly to your daddy-nanny’s teachings. I’m leaving first this afternoon. My head hurts the moment I hear him read!”
Even Yun Youyou’s flower head drooped.
Boohoo…
The main theme of this Instance was basically a return to kindergarten.
No. She had to fight back.
Yun Youyou pulled her roots out of the soil, found an empty patch of ground, and wrote a few words.
It was a little slow, but at least she could finally communicate.
Red-haired Trendy Guy looked at the words on the ground and said excitedly, “Fight back? Sister Yun, how are you going to fight back?”
Yun Youyou continued writing on the ground. “First, figure out what their mission is!”
Red-haired Trendy Guy said, “Right! That’s exactly what I was thinking too. Sure enough, smart people really do think alike.”
Yun Youyou: …
Red-haired Trendy Guy said, “No time like the present. We’ll set out tonight!”
Yun Youyou got excited. “Sun!”
The two of them successfully reached an agreement.
