Pulling Radishes, Pulling Radishes

Lin Feng was horrified. He had fought with Liu Chang'an several times... no, he had been beaten up one-on-one. He had experienced Liu Chang'an's monstrous strength firsthand. After a brief moment of surprise, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and couldn't help but sit down on the stool next to him, pressing his shoulder and unable to move. If this guy used all his strength, he could probably crush his bones.

Liu Chang'an has been downstairs for so long, Guan Yuan should have no reason to blame himself for not holding Liu Chang'an back.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng turned to look at the stairs.

Liu Chang'an returned upstairs. The sound from the media room was very loud. He knocked on the door, pushed it open casually, and glanced around. He saw three more males in the room, but Guan Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Hui waved, still facing Liu Chang'an with a very generous demeanor. She didn't want to immediately distance herself from Liu Chang'an or change her attitude; that would be too deliberate, and Yan Xiang and Zhao Yu might overthink things.

Liu Chang'an walked over and smiled and nodded at the three boys with youthful faces and excited eyes.

In the eyes of boys whose hormones are surging and who are just beginning to look forward to interacting with the opposite sex, any social occasion is a mating occasion. Even if it is not as obvious as that of males in the animal kingdom, the psychological and behavioral details are ultimately no different.

This is also due to human nature.

"These are Wang Wuyang, Lao Maigao, Zeng Changhe from our class." Bai Hui knew Liu Chang'an probably didn't remember these three people. "We ran into you and Zhou Dongdong at the barbecue that time, and they were there too."

"I know, there's also Guan Yuan..." Liu Chang'an seemed to have a good memory, "Right, where's Guan Yuan?"

Bai Hui walked over and pulled Liu Chang'an aside.

"I was touching up my makeup downstairs when I ran into Guan Yuan," Bai Hui said with a hint of reproach. Why did he suddenly run off? But who would have thought Guan Yuan would go and ambush outside the restroom? It's no wonder Liu Chang'an was so upset... Bai Hui wasn't really blaming Liu Chang'an, but she was a bit resentful towards him today. Besides, isn't it cute when a girl gets angry?

"Why are you touching up your makeup?" Liu Chang'an glanced at Bai Hui's makeup. "I've noticed you're really good at makeup. Your eyelashes are so curled, you could probably put two ounces of chives on top of them!"

"Stop talking nonsense! This is Sisley mascara brush, it's amazing... I'm too lazy to talk to you about this! Guan Yuan suddenly said some disgusting things to me, and I threw up all over him." Bai Hui felt a little embarrassed but secretly pleased.

How disgusting were the things he said? Try saying them yourself.

"Can you please stop focusing on such strange things?"

"So what did you vomit on him?"

Liu Chang'an!

"Oh, I see. I'll go downstairs now." Liu Chang'an nodded, then casually pressed Bai Hui back onto the sofa. "I'll go bury a radish first."

Bury a radish?

Bai Hui watched Liu Chang'an walk out, then followed him out and stood in the corridor watching him go down the stairs. She had a feeling he was going to cause trouble for Guan Yuan, but she wasn't quite sure. Bai Hui glanced back at Yan Xiang and Zhao Yu, and found that they were indeed watching her and Liu Chang'an intentionally or unintentionally. She couldn't help but snort inwardly, "What a bunch of gossips! Didn't I already say that I was helping An Nuan monitor Liu Chang'an?"

Whether they believe it or not, I believe it anyway, so why shouldn't they? It's really annoying.

Liu Chang'an glanced back and saw Bai Hui standing by the corridor. He immediately turned away. He had no interest in the fairy's skirt, especially since she was wearing pumpkin pants.

Many girls who wear glamorous Lolita dresses often wear a petticoat that looks like a short skirt made of light gauze to make the skirt appear fuller, allowing the skirt to spread out like an umbrella. Underneath this petticoat, they often don't wear the soft, close-fitting, and lightweight safety shorts that girls usually wear, but rather a type of pumpkin panty that prevents exposure. As the name suggests, these panty panties cover the legs at the hem and bulge in the middle like a pumpkin.

In short, this way of dressing sounds really silly.

Liu Chang'an met Guan Yuan in the downstairs restroom. Guan Yuan was wiping the water stains and juice off her body, which was already soaking wet. Fortunately, there was a hairdryer available, and Guan Yuan planned to clean herself up before going out.

In this situation, Guan Yuan was still very conscious of his image. Bai Hui was certainly his primary target, but it would be natural for other girls to develop feelings for him as well. As the saying goes, "You may plant flowers with care, but they may not bloom; you may plant willows without intention, and they may thrive."

Willow branches sway outside the window, a truly fitting sight.

"Guan Yuan."

Guan Yuan turned around and saw Liu Chang'an leaning against the wall, looking calmly out the window.

"What is it?" Guan Yuan replied indifferently, then turned to look at himself in the mirror. His hair was a little wet, and his expressionless face had a somewhat unruly and indifferent air.

"Please do me a favor."

After Liu Chang'an finished speaking, he went to the side of the stairs and opened the door to the tool room.

Guan Yuan originally didn't want to pay attention to Liu Chang'an, but Liu Chang'an was the nemesis he had to face in his life. As Su Nanxiu said, there was no use in running away.

Guan Yuan wiped his hands and watched as Liu Chang'an took out two shovels from the tool shed.

Liu Chang'an took one for himself, tossed another to Guan Yuan, and then walked out through the back door to the back garden of the villa.

"What are you doing?" Guan Yuan caught the shovel and followed behind Liu Chang'an.

Liu Chang'an walked to the willow tree. "Do you know why the willow tree is called a willow tree?"

"The willow tree is just called the willow tree." Guan Yuan thought, "Who the hell knows this?"

"An ancient method of harvesting and utilizing trees was called the 'head-tree operation.' In the north, willows were commonly used, while in the southwest, ironwood was frequently used. These two types of trees were particularly suitable. The head-tree operation involved cutting off the top of the tree, leaving half of the budding branches. Therefore, the willow was originally called the 'leaving tree,' which means 'leaving for studying abroad.'" Liu Chang'an looked at the willow tree and explained, "The Records of the Records of Canal Excavation states that after Emperor Yang of Sui ascended the throne, he ordered the excavation of the Tongji Canal. Yu Shiji, trying to curry favor, suggested planting willows on both banks. When spring came, the willows would sprout branches and sway beautifully. Emperor Yang thought this was a good suggestion and planted willows on both banks of the Grand Canal. He even planted some himself and bestowed the surname 'Yang' upon the willows, so the willow is also called 'Yangliu.'"

"You asked me to plant willow trees?" Guan Yuan was utterly bewildered. What was Liu Chang'an thinking?

"So, over the past thousand years, willows have been a frequent subject in poems related to the Grand Canal and Suzhou and Hangzhou. It's quite a boastful thing that these ancient emperors were so arrogant, bestowing surnames upon even a tree. But who would want to share the surname Yang with you? Don't you agree?" Liu Chang'an asked.

Guan Yuan pondered for a moment, wondering what Liu Chang'an was up to. At least Liu Chang'an was speaking gently and didn't seem to be trying to oppose him. Guan Yuan also behaved with great composure, saying, "Yes, one shouldn't get too arrogant."

"I think so too." Liu Chang'an said, starting to shovel dirt into the ground. "Give me a hand, I know you're strong."

"Great strength? "Guan Yuan looked at Liu Chang'an with some wariness. It seemed that Liu Chang'an had finally noticed Guan Yuan's special abilities, and his words were probably hinting at something.

But you are someone Su Nanxiu is wary of, so you may not be an ordinary person either. Guan Yuan snorted coldly in his heart and shoveled the soil with neither arrogance nor servility.

Two exceptionally strong men, along with Guan Yuan deliberately challenging Liu Chang'an, dug a pit in the yard almost as tall as a person in no time.

After digging, Guan Yuan inadvertently looked up and smiled, wanting to exchange a smile with Liu Chang'an, but he immediately suppressed it, feeling annoyed that he was such a lunatic for coming here so late at night to dig holes and plant trees with this lunatic Liu Chang'an!

Labor brings joy, makes people cheerful, and broadens their minds.

"Go in," Liu Chang'an said to Guan Yuan, pointing to the pit.

"Huh?" Guan Yuan was taken aback.

"Go inside, I'll bury you," Liu Chang'an urged, as he still needed to go sing.

"Damn it! You're kidding me?" Guan Yuan was furious, not only because Liu Chang'an wanted to bury him, but also because he had gone mad and thought Liu was planting trees, and had been digging with him here for half a day!

"No," Liu Chang'an argued with Guan Yuan. "Let me explain. There's no such thing as guarding against thieves for a thousand days. I'm here tonight to have fun. I'm going to sing karaoke, play video games, and play board games. I can't be with Bai Hui every single moment, can I? Look at you, so restless! I just went downstairs for a glass of orange juice, and you hid in the bathroom trying to peep at Bai Hui while she was peeping. How can I trust you when you're being so lewd?"

"I didn't peep on her... spit your mother!" Guan Yuan was furious; Liu Chang'an was simply spouting nonsense.

"I know you didn't spy on us, but you were caught, and Bai Hui even splashed water on you." Liu Chang'an pointed to the pit again, "Go in. I don't have time to watch you, so I feel safest burying you here. I'll naturally pull you out after our party."

"I'm not a radish, can't I just leave!" Guan Yuan threw down the shovel, burning with anger.

"No, what if you leave and then come back? People who would sneak into the toilet to spy on others can't be trusted at all." Liu Chang'an shook his head.

I'll say it one last time...

Before Guan Yuan could finish speaking, Liu Chang'an swung the shovel and smashed it into Guan Yuan's neck. Guan Yuan immediately felt the pain, staggered, pointed at Liu Chang'an, and then fell into the pit.

"You wouldn't listen to reason, but you still went in on your own, so that's fine." Liu Chang'an raised his shovel and began Guan Yuan.

Guan Yuan's physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people, and he quickly woke up. He was shocked and furious to find Liu Chang'an had already buried him up to his shoulders in dirt. "Liu Chang'an! You're utterly lawless! Do you know what you're doing?"

"You're suffering because you're uncultured. Think about it, if you knew the origin of the name 'willow tree,' you'd know where anyone would dig a hole to plant a willow tree. You just need to stick a branch in!" Liu Chang'an had clearly reminded him, but Guan Yuan was still so oblivious. Perhaps he needed this experience to realize the importance of broad knowledge, and from then on, he would study hard and reform himself. In the future, he would naturally be grateful for Liu Chang'an's good intentions.

After Liu Chang'an finished speaking, he casually stuffed the shovel handle into Guan Yuan's mouth to choke him, so that he wouldn't shout and disturb the students' enjoyment.

"If this had happened before, I would have stuffed chicken into your hole and soaked you in chicken broth and sugar water. You would have suffered. Luckily, I now agree with and support the core socialist values, so I'm not so ruthless anymore." Liu Chang'an gave Guan Yuan a gentle and kind smile, patted Guan Yuan's head, and went back to the villa. He also broke the door lock in case someone discovered Guan Yuan in time.

Liu Chang'an went to wash his hands and found Bai Hui looking around in the corridor again.

"Where did you go?" Bai Hui asked, relieved.

"I'll go bury Guan Yuan, so you can play in peace tonight." Liu Chang'an is always reliable; once he promises something, he'll do it properly. It has nothing to do with any other reason, and the big fuss isn't because of anyone else.

Bai Hui chuckled. So, when he said "burying radishes," he meant burying Guan Yuan? Liu Chang'an was such an annoying guy. She clearly didn't want to joke around with him anymore, but he still had to make her laugh. So irritating.

Bai Hui didn't take it seriously and asked Liu Chang'an if he wanted to go sing karaoke. Of course, Liu Chang'an wanted to go. They ended up playing all night because they didn't have classes the next morning, only in the afternoon. Everyone played until morning before heading home, having had their fill.

Liu Chang'an and Bai Hui said goodbye and walked home. When they reached the Juzhou Bridge, they looked up at the rising sun. It was another sunny day.
