Li Hua agreed. She also felt that Gu Zits reminder made sense. She made a mental note to tell her parents later.

After descending from the fields, she remarked, “With this pace, we’ll finish harvesting today, thanks to my brother-in-law’s help.”

Just then, a breeze swept through, causing the unharvested ears of grain to sway gently.

The golden ears, resembling flames, collided with each other, producing a crisp and soft sound reminiscent of a symphony orchestra, accompanied by an intoxicating fragrance that beckoned one to forget all trivialities and complexities, returning to one’s true self.

This naturally diverted Gu Zits thoughts away from any mood-dampening people and events, bringing her a moment of tranquility.

She told Li Hua, “Don’t forget to call Su Shen for farm work in the future. He’s more than willing to help out.’

Since the paddy was dry during harvest, Gu Zi could walk in the fields without worrying about muddying her shoes.

Following Li Hua into the fields, she admired the neatly arranged bundles of rice, which resembled golden, three-dimensional clouds, creating a stunning visual.

Near these golden clouds, three men stood in a row, swiftly harvesting the remaining rice with their sickles, their actions producing a rhythmic sound.

Su Shen, tall and handsome, stood out even as he bent over, performing the same task as the others. Gu Zi approached him with some food.

Under the setting sun, beads of sweat glistened on the determined profile of his face.

He was dressed in a vest and wide-leg shorts suitable for labor, his muscular deltoids, biceps, and triceps exposed to the sunlight, radiating a strong masculine aura.

Gu Zi was all too aware of the appeal of a man’s sturdy legs to a woman.

The sexy muscle lines and the formidable strength stored within were the ultimate aids in making her feel ecstatic in bed.

Gu Zi saw him holding a handful of rice in his left hand and a sickle in his right. His movements were clean and neat. Soon, another pile of gold was piled up beside him.

Aware of Gu Zi’s arrival, he looked up at her and said, “Bring that basket over here.”

Gu Zi placed the lunch box on the ridge and turned to fetch the item.

Her man was not only an officer and a businessman but also skilled at harvesting rice, a true farmer at heart.

She dutifully brought the basket over, intending to assist in gathering the grain. However, in an unexpected move, the man seized her wrist, drawing her close into his embrace. With agility, his tongue traced her lips, parted her teeth, and ventured inside her mouth, engaging in an intimate dance with her tongue and lips.

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, Gu Zi’s heart raced, sending tingles through her scalp. Overwhelmed, she found herself unable to resist, yielding to his fervent bites and caresses. Her breath grew light as she was playfully tormented amidst the paddies.

After ten seconds, Gu Zi managed to push the man away, delivering a light punch to his chest as she cast him a warning glare.

Turning to see if they had been noticed, she saw Li Hua attending to Lin Cheng and the others, their focus on their meal and conversation, oblivious to the exchange. This realization soothed Gu Zits fluttering heart.

With a stern tone, she thrust the lunch boxes into his arms, threatening, “If you dare to fool around again, you’re going without a meal.”

“Don’t be mad. I won’t tease you anymore,” Su Shen responded with a cheerful tone, not hiding his amusement.

He made his way to the ridge, opening the lunch box to savor a bite of the green onion meat pie, followed by a sip of the spicy soup, feeling instantly rejuvenated.

“This spicy soup you’ve made is truly delicious and authentic,” he complimented Gu Zi.

As Gu Zi continued to fill the basket with grain, her actions efficient and skilled, she replied, “Do you like it? Then I’ll make it more often in the future.” Given her sister-in-law’s interest in learning how to prepare the spicy soup, it seemed the family would be enjoying it for some time.

“I’ll enjoy anything you prepare, ” Su Shen declared. “But don’t stain your cheongsam. Let me handle this. I can finish up today.”

He gently took the grain from her grasp and escorted her to the ridge’s side, insisting she rest there while he resumed the work..
