"Sizzle--" the husk of the big round corn was peeled off, revealing the plump yellow grains.

Zhang Chunliang's nose twitched unconsciously and his throat rolled.

The corn smelled fresh and sweet, very suitable for someone like him who hadn't drunk any water for two days.

"Crunch." The young man held the corn cob by the tip and took a bite.

There were already seven or eight bits of corn piled up around them.

What is he doing? Why doesn't he give me any corn? Why does he force me to sit here and watch him eat?

Was it revenge for rejecting his request to visit her home? Zhang Chunliang desperately picked at the weeds on the ground, wanting to leave very much.

It's been an hour and a half, and his mission has not yet been completed...

Wait, Zhang Chunliang narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at his task interface to confirm repeatedly.

There was a green check mark behind the task of playing hide-and-seek in the cornfield.

The system seemed to assume that the young man came to the cornfield to look for him and found him, so the mission was successfully completed.

Suddenly, a big, plump corn was pushed in front of him, with a neat tooth mark on the tip of the corn.

The young man wiped his mouth and told him, "It's sweet, eat it."

Eating raw corn kernels? Zhang Chunliang had never tried such a wild way of eating. After hesitating for a moment, he took it.

Under the gaze of the young man, he tentatively took a bite from the belly of the corn, then unconsciously straightened his shoulders and stared at the big corn with some curiosity.

——It’s really delicious. Even though it’s raw, it has a bit of astringent taste of grass, but the aroma of corn is more intense and the juice is delicious. Just take a light bite and the corn kernels burst in your mouth.

Zhang Chunliang narrowed his eyes and took another bite to replenish his water.

"What are you doing in the cornfield?" the man asked casually, with one arm on his knee, watching him eat corn without blinking.

"Come and play, and do an interview." Zhang Chunliang answered vaguely with his mouth full of corn kernels.

"Comrade, are you from the village?" He swallowed the corn in his mouth and wanted to ask the young man some news about Xu Aiyong.

But his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered what the big brother in the car said yesterday.

He said that there was a young man in the village who was about his age and who should not be provoked, and his surname was Xu.

"What's the point of talking about homosexuality? It's sour." The young man fumbled in his pocket for a few times and replied nonchalantly, "Call me Xu Er."

Zhang Chunliang's hand holding the corn froze, then he lowered his head and took a bite as if to cover up.

"What, have you heard of me?" Xu Er's eyes had never left Zhang Chunliang. Now seeing that he looked a little stiff, his expression suddenly became excited.

"Cough? No, nothing." Zhang Chunliang laughed awkwardly.

He felt extremely uncomfortable. This person seemed to have no idea what social distance was and just stared at him without turning his head the whole time.

Xu Er took out a piece of candy from his trouser pocket. It was wrapped in shiny plastic and didn't look cheap.

"Eat." He stuffed it into Zhang Chunliang's hand.

"Thank you." Zhang Chunliang probably understood Xu Er a little bit. He had a strong personality and didn't like being rejected.

So he peeled off the package, put the candy into his mouth, puffed up a little on his right cheek, and slowly sucked the sweet juice of the candy.

Xu Er pressed his legs with his arms, moved closer, and stared blatantly at the small bulge on Zhang Chunliang's cheek.

Zhang Chunliang couldn't stand it anymore, and even his scalp was tingling and his whole body was uncomfortable. So he stretched out his hand to block Xu Er's gaze from looking at him.

"Have you had breakfast?" Xu Er stood up, turned around and glanced at the scratch on Zhang Chunliang's right arm. There was not much bleeding, but a layer of skin was broken, which looked a little shocking on the fair arm.

I can't apply medicine directly now, otherwise it will dirty the wound. I need to find some water to wash it.

"I have steamed buns and fish noodle soup. Where is your home? I'll bring them to your house and eat them."

Why on earth did this guy have to squeeze into his house?! And he said it so casually.

"I'm not done yet! I'm going to the ridge of the field and then to the stream..." Seeing that Xu Er had packed up his things very quickly, Zhang Chunliang became a little anxious.

"Okay, let's go to my house. I'll take you there after dinner." Xu Er took over the conversation fluently.

Zhang Chunliang sighed, took off his glasses, pinched his nose, and had to agree.

This NPC has a bit of a strong personality. Once he makes up his mind about something, he will not give up. No matter how reluctant he is, he probably won't be able to get rid of him in a short time, and he might even be annoyed.

Anyway, Xu Er should be the key person. If we follow him, we might be able to get some information.

A large hand with distinct bones came in front of him. Xu Er said calmly, "Let's go across here. My car is on the other side outside."

"Aren't we just outside the cornfield?" Zhang Chunliang said purely for the sake of talking, without extending his hand.

"But you have already walked to the south end of the land. If you go any further, you won't be able to get out at night." Xu Er smiled, and a dimple was faintly visible on his cheek.

"What?" Zhang Chunliang was stunned for a moment and looked behind him - the originally flat and empty country road, suddenly, countless corns appeared from all directions without him noticing.

If he delayed here any longer, he would be surrounded by these slowly moving cornfields and wouldn't even know how he got in.

He was frightened for a moment and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Looking forward, Xu Er took two steps forward. The two were clearly not far apart, but the layers of corn stalks had almost obscured his figure.

Zhang Chunliang quickly took two steps, pushed aside the annoying pole, and caught up with the person in front.

For some reason, Xu Er's steps were so relaxed and leisurely, but Zhang Chunliang, who was following him, stumbled and walked with great difficulty.

The annoying leaves kept hitting his face, blocking his vision. Zhang Chunliang's vision was a little blurry, and he often had illusions that the leaves around him turned into ghost-like hands, trying to pinch his neck, pull his sleeves, and keep him in this cornfield from which he could never leave.

He was in a trance and the moment he glanced away, the figure in front of him almost disappeared.

"Wait... wait for me." Zhang Chunliang finally couldn't help it and stopped the person in front of him.

Xu Er stopped but didn't look back. After Zhang Chunliang approached him breathlessly, he reached out his hand again.

This time, Zhang Chunliang did not hesitate and put his hand on it.

Then, the restless cornfield suddenly became quiet, and the corn stalks that tripped people fell down obediently to the sides.

...Then, Zhang Chunliang and Xu Er walked in the field for half an hour.

He was about to collapse: "Is the road you took to get here so long?"

"Yes." Xu Er didn't look at him. His palms were wet and hot, and he held Zhang Chunliang's hands tightly.

Zhang Chunliang struggled a few times feeling somewhat uncomfortable, so Xu Er used more force.

Just as Zhang Chunliang was thinking frantically about how to get this guy to let go, Xu Er suddenly paused and stayed where he was for a few seconds, as if he saw something, then turned around and pulled Zhang Chunliang to the other side.

"What's going on in front? Is there something there?" Zhang Chunliang's sight was blocked by his shoulder, and he could only vaguely see a white object not far away. There seemed to be something rustling on its body, like fine and dense fluff.

"There are bugs running into the fields." Xu Er remained calm, pulled him and quickened his pace, and soon they reached the edge of the cornfield.

They pushed aside the outermost layer of corn and finally found the bicycle.

A thick black cotton coat was neatly placed in the basket, with a brand new aluminum lunch box on top, looking heavy.

There was still a lot of corn left over, so Xu Er hugged some and tied them on the back seat of the car.

Then he casually patted the large steel beam in front of his seat, motioning Zhang Chunliang to sit on it.

"I don't want to sit." Zhang Chunliang's face turned green. He felt itchy all over when he thought about sitting shyly in front of a man like a heroine in a romance movie.

He was already prepared. If Xu Er forced him to sit on it, he would definitely get angry. This was too disrespectful...

"Can you ride a bike?" Xu Er interrupted his thoughts.

Zhang Chunliang was stunned for a moment, and replied subconsciously: "...Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong.

"Okay." Xu Er readily gave up his car.

"You ride and I'll sit in the front." He said this lightly.
