Xie Ji Mu Yao was looking down and petting the dog, a strange look.
One numerical distortion after another—why is this happening?!
Mu Yao felt Xie Ji's gaze and looked up at him. "Hmm? What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Things are different now. Mu Yao is no longer that nobody who doesn't give money or points!
Xie Ji nodded upon hearing this, making a heart shape with his hands. "Yes, he is somewhat handsome."
Mu Yao: "... Good soil."
Xie Ji: "I learned it from Shang Yan."
Mu Yao: "No wonder."
[System Notification: Target person, Mu Yao, has increased your favorability towards you by 1 point. Current favorability is 60%.]
Xie Ji raised an eyebrow. No points had increased. It seemed that Mu Yao's favorability bar was the same as Ji Shi's, and he needed to increase his dislike value instead of his favorability value.
Xie Ji: "But I think we're a good match. We're a bit rustic, but also very cute."
Mu Yao: "..."
[System Notification: Target person, Mu Yao, has had his favorability towards you decrease by 10%, currently at 50%. 100 points awarded!]
Xie Ji felt better and contentedly continued washing the dog.
Mu Yao blushed with anger.
Ugly dog! So ugly! Not cute at all! Who would like such an ugly, oddly shaped dog?!
He was so angry that he finally retorted, "You're the one who's unsophisticated! You're the most unsophisticated person ever, the most unsophisticated of all!"
Xie Ji looked up and casually remarked, "Oh, is this little bit of soil enough to cover you?"
Mu Yao: "..."
[Hilarious! Young Master Mu is so arrogant, he'll never win a wife like that!]
[I suggest the production team insure Xie Ji's mouth; I feel like he'll get beaten up because of it someday.]
Send me Xie Ji's mouth, I need it! A few days ago at work, I couldn't win an argument, and when I finally blurted out "You little idiot!" through my tears, my tears and my dignity both fell to the dust!
[I recommend wholesaling the mouthpieces for the Xie Ji.]
[Where's Young Master Lu! Come quick! Some scoundrels have broken into our base!]
[ Young Master Lu is building a doghouse in the yard. Don't worry, as long as Xie Ji is around, this house won't be able to be stolen from!]
I find Xie Ji's slowness to be unbelievable; is he even a normal adult?
[Golden Little Cake was pampered growing up, so love is probably just a very ordinary thing for him, right? Plus, with Xie Ji's face, he must have had no shortage of admirers since childhood, so it's normal that he's slow to realize it.]
[Isn't everyone saying this fake young master is just a pretty face? That's a complete rumor! He's a treasure! He's incredibly reliable when needed! He knows how to raise cattle and make medicine, why didn't he get into military academy? Let him go! Let him go!!!]
[Although Xie Ji seems a bit eccentric on the surface, he's actually very gentle at heart. He's really good at raising all kinds of animals, and he raises them very well. How bad can someone who likes puppies be!]
Xie Ji spent a lot of effort to wash A-Gang and A-Qiang clean.
Previously, the fur of the two puppies was covered by dirt and mud, but now that they've been washed clean, you can see that A-Gang is a pure white female dog with a very delicate appearance, while A-Qiang is a male dog with white fur and many small black spots.
Lu Xunji fenced off a section of the yard for them, built a fence and a doghouse, making it look like a dog mansion.
"When was this made?" Xie Ji put A-Gang A-Qiang inside. "It fits perfectly."
Although A-Gang was a female puppy, she was clearly the bolder one. Within minutes, she began exploring the surroundings, while A-Qiang huddled behind her, trembling like a whimpering monster constantly seeking protection.
What a queen and her weak little follower!
"In the morning," Lu Xunji closed the fence, "If they had nowhere to stay, I'm afraid that little money bag would be so worried that it couldn't sleep and would sneak down in the middle of the night to cover them with clothes."
"Thank you, brother!" Xie Ji looked extremely happy, leaning on the railing and watching them. "Now they can snuggle up in their puppy houses to sleep tonight."
Lu Xunji washed his hands, put away his tools, rubbed Xie Ji's head, and went back to the living room.
After lunch, the guests began their afternoon work.
Zhou Heyu and Ji Shi's paddy fields were almost finished. Apart from regular weeding and pest control, there was no other work to do, which made the two of them feel much more relaxed. In the afternoon, they went directly to Xie Ji's aquaculture area to help out.
The three men worked very quickly; the work that would normally take an Xie Ji to complete was finished in just over half an hour.
As a result, the three of them, who had finished their work ahead of Xie Ji, took over the preparation of dinner.
Actually, there were still some leftovers from the dishes Lu Xunji cooked at noon. Xie Ji only needed to reheat the dishes and cook another pot of rice.
Therefore, he was very confident and did not use the Hand of the God of Cooking".
The three young masters, who had absolutely no cooking skills, rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
When Lu Xunji returned, he saw three dark-skinned people squatting at the entrance of the villa, while his meticulously crafted kitchen was still billowing thick smoke.
One of the three black balls saw him and quickly ran over.
Lu Xunji could barely make out that the streak of gold in the ash-covered hair was his little money pouch.
The little money bag stammered, "Brother, um, what do you like to eat for dinner?"
Lu Xunji wiped the soot off his face and asked directly, "How much was burned?"
Xie Ji with his fingers. "How much was burned... a little burned, but really not much. It wasn't blown apart from head to toe, just a little bit, maybe forty percent..."
