The cucumbers didn’t turn out too great, thin and twisted, not as beautiful as those from the vegetable greenhouse. Thinking about Teacher Chang’s recent suggestion to pickle the cucumbers, Shen MO set them aside and washed the cherry tomatoes and loquats first.

The cherry tomatoes were small, just over twenty of them, filling a glass cup perfectly.

The loquats were picked at night, and in his haste, Shen MO hadn’t paid attention to their ripeness. It wasn’t until he shone the flashlight on them that he noticed many of them were not fully ripe, their light yellow skin tinged with a faint green.

Shen MO discarded a few particularly underripe ones, then carried the remaining fruit to his room.

Bai Youwei was eager to eat them right away.

“Wash your hands first.” Shen MO handed her a moist towel.

She quickly wiped her hands and, unable to wait any longer, bit into the largest loquat.

“You should eat the tomatoes first. It’s hard to see at night, and these loquats aren’t fully ripe, they might be a bit sour.” Shen MO suggested.

But Bai Youwei had already taken a bite. She chewed and then spat out the skin and the seed, “It’s not sour at all, actually sweet. You said this is a loquat? It’s delicious.”

“You’ve never had one before?” Shen MO peeled a slightly reddish one and handed it to her.

“I’ve had loquats, but mostly in stews… pear stew with loquat or loquat with peach gum. Never tried a fresh one.” Bai Youwei devoured another one, her eyes twinkling like crescent moons, “This one is even sweeter than the last!”

“Are they that sweet?” Seeing her enjoying the fruit, Shen MO too peeled a loquat and took a bite, ‘ .

“Sweet or not?” Bai Youwei asked him, grinning from ear to ear.

Shen Mo:

…He initially thought she was teasing him again, but her laughter appeared genuine. Her glowing eyes were as clear and pure as a spring lit by the moonlight.

She truly found it sweet.

Quietly chewing on the sour loquat in his mouth, Shen MO spat out the pit, stood up and went to get some water.

Upon his return, he took the loquats she was holding.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Youwei stared at him, puzzled, “I still want to eat some.”

“Loquats are cold in nature, eating too many isn’t good for you.” Shen MO handed her the cherry tomatoes, “Eat these.”

Bai Youwei made a face, “Who hasn’t eaten tomatoes before? They’re not special. I want loquats.”

Shen MO replied, “I’ll pick some sweeter ones for you tomorrow.”

Bai Youwei finally seemed satisfied and stopped complaining.

After finishing all the cherry tomatoes, she was still hungry. Shen MO carried her downstairs, heated up the leftover noodles from earlier, and made her a poached egg.

She didn’t usually eat these kinds of instant noodles, but today she polished off not only the noodles but the broth as well.

Seeing her happily sipping the broth from the bowl, Shen MO couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion: this hedgehog of a girl was quick-tempered, vindictive, and harsh, making her difficult to handle when angry. But as long as you were willing to coax her, any hint of sweetness could be turned into the sweetest honey by her.

…In fact, she was quite easy to care for.

He reached out and ruffled her hair tenderly.

Bai Youwei put down the bowl and looked up at him, “Why do you always touch my head?”

Shen MO laughed, “Don’t you always touch my hand as well?”

Bai Youwei: “Because it’s hard, and interesting.”

Copying her words, Shen MO replied, “Oh, because I find it soft, and interesting.”

Hearing this, Bai Youwei blinked her bright eyes, excused herself and went to help Chang Weicai and Tan Xiao clean up. Before going, she caught Shen MO’s hand in both of hers, looked at him and whispered, “There are even softer places, do you want to touch?”

Shen Mo:

Half a second later, he pulled back his hand and lightly tapped her forehead.

“Ouch!” Bai Youwei yelped in pain, clutching her forehead as she glared at him, “Why’d you hit me!”

Both Chang Weicai and Tan Xiao looked over, but seeing that they were just fooling around, they returned to what they were doing.

Shen MO found this amusing and pinched her cheek, “Behave yourself from now on.”

Bai Youwei pouted, she wanted to argue with him!… Thinking about the delicious loquats she had earlier made her feel longing again. She licked her lips discreetly, thinking to herself: for all the care he has showered upon me, I’ll cut him some slack for the next couple of days..
