When Shen Wanying saw Huo Cheng go pale suddenly, she put down the knife at once to look after him and asked worriedly, “What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”
“It’s okay.” He put his hand on the table to support himself, his head hanging slightly as if he was trying to suppress something.
She gently held his arm, frowning. “Your complexion looks quite bad. If you feel unwell, you should go back to your room and rest. Just leave the cooking to us.”
“I’m really okay.” Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and slowly pulled himself out of the memory and back to reality. “It was only a little dizziness, I may be a bit anemic.”
“Is that so?” Though his complexion now was better than before, she was still not at ease. “Did you have breakfast in the morning? I brought milk, let me get it for you.”
Huo Cheng: “No need.”
“It’s better for you to eat something. I’ll be back soon.” Shen Wanying insisted before turning to go back to her room to get the milk.
On the other side of the kitchen, Wang Tingting’s eyes, who was standing beside Qiu Ziqing, suddenly lit up. “Ziqing, let me help you hold up Shen Wanying. Don’t lose this opportunity!”
For the field trip, Qiu Ziqing had specially volunteered to cook after finding out that Huo Cheng would too. She wanted to create more excuses to get closer to him. Unexpectedly, Shen Wanying had joined the fellow, so she got no chance to approach him.
Wang Tingting winked at her before leaving the kitchen to follow Shen Wanying.
“My Lady.” She caught up and stopped her.
Shen Wanying turned her head to look at her. “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 share a little with each class. It isn’t much trouble to make, and it can also be considered as an extra dish.”
Shen Wanying nodded. “Yes, that’s a good idea.”
Wang Tingting continued. “But if we want to give some to each class, we will need more fruits. The other students in our class have already gone out and we don’t know how many fruits they’ll come back with. It will be difficult if there aren’t enough. So, I thought, how about the two of us 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, but she couldn’t think of any good excuses not to let her go. At this moment, she saw a student who had been collecting ingredients coming back and happily said, “Look over there, your classmates are back. Let them help you get the milk. 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 early 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 lofty fruit trees were very large compared to the other small plants on the farm such as strawberries and watermelons. Currently, the strawberries were still in season, so Wang Tingting and Shen Wanying picked a basket of them. After that, they went to the fruit garden further ahead.
Perhaps because the fruit garden was pretty far, and everyone else was 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, “There is a ladder over there. My Lady, do you dare to climb the tree?”
Shen Wanying: “I’m all right.”
Wang Tingting: “That’s great, I’m afraid of heights. I’ll help you from down below, can you pick the fruits?”
Shen Wanying: “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 academics but also in sports. She could climb a tree like this without using a ladder, but that would be too unsightly. So, she certainly wouldn’t do it.
After watching Shen Wanying climb up the ladder and begin to concentrate on snipping the oranges with a pair of scissors, Wang Tingting stealthily slipped away.
Two girls alone wouldn’t be able to get much fruit. In order to drag Shen Wanying around for a long time, Wang Tingting had deliberately brought her to this far a place. She had seen her (SWY) interview on the campus website before. The Little Reporter had asked her if there was something she wasn’t good at, and she had replied that her sense of direction was lacking.
The fruit trees around here almost looked 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 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 Huo Cheng the milk. She had never seen what Huo Cheng looked like while cooking.
A man who cooks must possess a special charm!
As she mused, Zhao Yimeng’s small steps became quickened.
