Chapter 667 - 666: Give Me a Kiss
"Rock, Paper... Scissors!" "Rock, Paper, Scissors!" "Rock, Paper... Scissors!"
"Hahaha, I won."
"Boohoo, you cheat, for sure."
Jiang Yufan obviously regretted it, leaving Chen Tianlong speechless, so he continued, "Then, let’s go again, one last time, no regrets."
"Alright." Jiang Yufan chuckled inwardly.
"Rock, Paper... Scissors!"
"Aha, now you can’t say anything."
"Alright, you can hug me, but I’m warning you, no funny business."
Jiang Yufan gave Chen Tianlong a glance, then turned around and let him hug her from behind as they slept, feeling secretly overjoyed inside.
"Hehe, I won’t mess around, I’m usually very accurate with Mo."
"Dare you!?"
"Oh, I dare not."
After bantering a bit, the two fell asleep sweetly in each other’s arms. There was no talking through the night, and the next day, they amazingly slept until noon. Perhaps these past few days had been too exhausting, or maybe Chen Tianlong’s toxins were leaving his body, as he was gradually recovering, so they didn’t even realize it was morning.
"Bam bam bam bam..."
Suddenly, there was a hurried knocking on the door, followed by Wan Qi’s loud voice, "The two of you are still sleeping, it’s already noon, do you want to eat?"
"Huh?"
Jiang Yufan was startled awake. She was most familiar with her grandma’s voice but suddenly remembered something: "Wait? How does Grandma know I slept with Chen Tianlong? Was she secretly spying on us again?"
"Grandma, you big sneaky, really not fair, hmph!" Jiang Yufan muttered angrily to herself.
But on the surface, she replied, "Got it, Grandma, I’m getting up now!"
There wasn’t any more sound outside, clearly indicating that Wan Qi had left. Chen Tianlong, still groggy, watched the beautiful woman in front of him as she prepared to get up. Suddenly, he pulled her into his arms and leaned forward to kiss Jiang Yufan.
"Ah, gross, I haven’t brushed my teeth yet."
"Gah? Not gross, see, I just took a whiff, fresh breath, come, a kiss."
"Hmph, gross, I said it’s gross, so it’s gross, fine, I’m getting up."
Jiang Yufan clearly wanted to escape, but how could Chen Tianlong let her go? He just grabbed her back and kissed her directly on the lips.
"Mmm mmm..." Jiang Yufan mumbled a few sounds before falling silent, instead kissing Chen Tianlong back.
Chen Tianlong was about to leave this place; after all, he had important matters to attend to. Not only did he have to go back to school, but he also had to deal with post-New Year’s matters. After all, the people in Sanketan Town wouldn’t let things rest easily, and they’d definitely cause trouble at his uncle’s factory.
After a two-minute struggle, Chen Tianlong let go. Both seemed a bit reluctant, as Jiang Yufan clung tightly to Chen Tianlong, tears welling up, and said, sobbing a bit, "Ye... Tian, are you leaving? Please don’t leave me."
"Haha, silly, how could I leave you? This is just a temporary separation. Once I’m done with everything, after graduation, I’ll come for you, okay?" Chen Tianlong could only say this, but who knows what will happen in the future, so he could only give Jiang Yufan a promise.
"Not okay." Jiang Yufan pouted.
"Oh, but I have to..."
"Alright, don’t say anything more, or I’ll cry again in a moment."
Jiang Yufan had only said two willful things earlier, knowing inside that Chen Tianlong had his own life. As someone skilled, he couldn’t just live with her in this village.
The bustling city always attracts young people. Perhaps when the excitement has faded, everyone will long for peace.
"Haha, then I won’t say anymore. Let’s get up and have breakfast." Chen Tianlong didn’t say much more and instead got up, dressed, and accompanied Jiang Yufan out of the room to eat in the living room.
Wan Qi had already prepared the meal, but it was noon now, so it couldn’t be called breakfast, but lunch.
"The food is freshly heated, eat it while it’s hot." Wan Qi had obviously eaten but still sat on the side mending her clothes.
The two were unreserved, having had no appetite eating in the bathtub for days, and now being hungry all morning, so they ate with particular gusto, practically devouring the meal.
In no time, they finished off the large table of dishes.
"Grandma, I’d like to discuss something with you." Chen Tianlong thought for a moment before speaking.
After all, within dozens of miles around here, it seemed only this forest had Black Gastrodia. If in the future the World Medicine Company needed stock, they’d have to get it from here.
"Whatever it is, just say, don’t be so formal." Wan Qi felt that now Chen Tianlong was already her grandson-in-law, so his business was her business.
"It’s like this, I’ve opened a pharmaceutical company in South Sea City, doing some small business, but our new medicine needs Black Gastrodia from here as a raw material. We might need you to supply it in the future, I wonder if that’s okay?"
"No." Wan Qi immediately refused.
"Gah?" Chen Tianlong was stunned, utterly unexpected; if that were the result, even if he found the medicinal lead, he couldn’t produce in volume later, which would be disastrous.
"Because this herb is harvested only once a year, and even though I have an acre of Black Gastrodia here, I can only let you use it a few times, then it can’t be supplied." Wan Qi hurriedly explained when she saw Chen Tianlong so shocked.
"Phew... so that’s how it is." Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Wan Qi wouldn’t allow it, but actually, she feared it wouldn’t be enough.
"Is there another way for sustainable development?" Chen Tianlong understood Wan Qi’s point, the herbs could be provided, but he worried that if the medicine wasn’t ready yet, the company would run short.
After all, they were a company, not a small pharmacy.
Wan Qi put down her needlework, thought for a moment, then walked out the door, returning in a short while with a small packet, placing it directly in front of Chen Tianlong, and said, "This package contains Black Gastrodia seeds."
"Black Gastrodia seeds?" Chen Tianlong was stunned for a moment, then understood.
"Yes, Black Gastrodia rarely has seeds, but over the years, fearing another heavenly fire, I’ve been collecting these very rare seeds. After storing for years, I finally gathered a few hundred. Take them back and cultivate them diligently, and remember to collect the seeds every year, otherwise, if they go extinct, don’t blame me." Wan Qi explained.
"Wow, that’s awesome, thank you, Grandma, I’ll remember." Chen Tianlong was overjoyed, finally seeing hope.
"And usually, you shouldn’t use seeds for planting, use grafting or directly insert branches into the soil for cultivation," Wan Qi reminded.
"Ah? That works too." Chen Tianlong was a bit shocked, realizing this Black Gastrodia had such tenacious vitality.
