The Lady’s Facade was Ruined - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Ah Wan (1)

When Shen Wanying saw Huo Cheng’s complexion pale all of a sudden, she put down the knife in her hand at once to look after him and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”

“It’s okay.” Huo Cheng put his hand on the table to support himself. His head was slightly hung down as if trying to suppress something.

Shen Wanying gently supported his arm and frowned at him, “Your complexion looks so bad. If you felt unwell, you should go back to your room and rest. Just leave the cooking to us here.”

“I’m really okay.” Huo Cheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly pulling himself out of the memory and back to reality, “I got a bit dizzy just a moment ago, perhaps a bit anemic.”

“Is that so?” Shen Wanying saw that his complexion now was better than before, but she was still not at ease, “Did you have breakfast in the morning? I brought milk; I will bring it for you.”

“No need.”

“It’s better for you to eat something, I’ll be back soon.” Shen Wanying persisted before leaving to go back to her room to get the milk.

On the other side of the kitchen, the eyes of Wang Tingting, who was standing beside Qiu Ziqing, suddenly lit up, “Ziqing, let me help you hold up Shen Wanying. You should take this opportunity!”

On this field trip, Qiu Ziqing specially signed up to cook after finding out that Huo Cheng was also in charge of cooking. She wanted to create more opportunities to get closer to him. Unexpectedly, Shen Wanying had followed Huo Cheng to cook, so she had no chance to approach Huo Cheng.

Wang Tingting winked at Qiu Ziqing before leaving the kitchen to follow Shen Wanying.

“My Lady.” She caught up with Shen Wanying and stopped her. Shen Wanying turned her head and stopped to look at her, ” Wang Tingting, what’s the matter?”

Wang Tingting smiled and spoke coyly, “So… it’s like this. Just now our class had a discussion. We wanted to make some fruit salad and give a little bit to each class. It isn’t much trouble to make, and it can also be considered as an extra dish.”

Shen Wanying listened and nodded, “Yes, this is a good idea.”

Wang Tingting then continued, “But if we want to give some to each class, we will need more fruit. The other students in our class have already gone out and we don’t know how many fruits they will bring back. It won’t be easy if there aren’t enough fruits. So, I thought, how about we two go pick some fruits to prepare in advance?”

“Okay.” Shen Wanying agreed, “But I need to get milk for Huo Cheng first.”

Wang Tingting didn’t want her to get the milk, but she couldn’t think of any good excuses not to let her go. At this moment, she saw a student, who was collecting ingredients, came back not far away, and happily said, “Look over there, your classmates are back. Let them help you get the milk for Huo Cheng. Let’s pick the fruits first.”

Shen Wanying looked ahead. Indeed, there were two or three students from her class who had returned, and Zhao Yimeng was also among them.

Coming back so soon like this, it could be seen that they were being lazy at first glance.

“Well, let me ask Zhao Yimeng to help me get the milk.”

“Okay, then let’s go.”

The orchards of Starlight Farm were clustered in the southern area of the farm. The orchards were very large compared to the relatively small plants on the farm such as strawberries and watermelons. Besides that, there were also lofty fruit trees. Currently, the strawberries were still in the season. Wang Tingting and Shen Wanying picked a basket of strawberries. After that, they went to the fruit garden further ahead.

Perhaps because the fruit garden was pretty far, and everyone was basically busy collecting vegetables, there were no students here.

“These oranges look really good! The others are too lazy. Fortunately, we came here.” Wang Tingting pointed to a ladder in the front and said to Shen Wanying, “There is a ladder over there. My Lady, do you dare to climb the tree?”

“I’m alright.”

“That’s great, I’m afraid of heights. I’ll help you from below, can you pick the fruits?”

“Ok.”

“I’ll help to hold your stuff.” Wang Tingting put Shen Wanying’s mobile phone in the fruit basket and supported the ladder, “You can go up now.”

As everyone knew, Shen Wanying was an all-around lady of the Shen family. Not only did she excel in academic performance, but she also excelled in sports performance. She could climb a tree like this without using a ladder, but doing that would be too unsightly. So, she certainly wouldn’t do it.

After watching Shen Wanying climb up the ladder and start to concentrate on cutting down the oranges with a pair of scissors, Wang Tingting stealthily sneaked away.

The two girls simply couldn’t get much fruit. In order to drag around Shen Wanying for a long time, Wang Tingting had deliberately brought her to this far place. Wang Tingting had seen Shen Wanying’s interview on the campus website before. The little reporter had asked her if there was something she wasn’t good at, and Shen Wanying had replied that her sense of direction wasn’t very good.

The fruit trees around here looked almost identical. When they’d come here, she’d made sure to take a detour as well. Shen Wanying didn’t have a mobile phone on her now either, so finding the way back should take a lot of time.

Today, I must ask Qiu Ziqing to treat me to some milk tea when I get back.

On the other side, Zhao Yimeng had returned to the room to rest for a while before going down to deliver milk to Huo Cheng. She had never seen how Huo Cheng looked like while cooking, and the man who cooked must have a special charm.

Thinking about it, Zhao Yimeng’s small steps became faster.
