I won't show mercy to you

Tan Ting was speechless.

He just stayed in place with the basket in his hand, but the loss and frustration in his eyes were about to converge into a river, flooding the entire orchard.

Zhuo Yu was not interested in picking fruit at all, but always felt that carrying a basket, pulling an apple, or pulling a bunch of grapes was really boring and tiring.

But looking at Tan Ting's dazed and lost appearance, Zhuo Yu's heart twitched subconsciously, and his heart couldn't help stirring.

"it does not matter."

Zhuo Yu comforted clumsily, "I'll buy you a bunch of delicious fruits when I go back. I saw a lot of exotic fruits in the supermarket last time. I'll buy them for you when I go back on weekends. We don't care about them." Rubbish thing, ah."

Tan Ting first raised her eyes and stared quietly at Zhuo Yu for a while, then just smiled and shook her head slightly.

"No need."

Tan Ting said very lightly, "It's just that my expectations were too high. I think there are still some intact oranges and persimmons on some trees, and it's good now."

Tan Ting didn't seem to be greatly affected by his mood.

He even smiled at Zhuo Yu with his eyes bent, then hurriedly lowered his head and walked towards an orange tree beside him with a basket in his hand.

However, Zhuo Yu's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of Tan Ting at the moment when he turned around, he seemed to lower his eyes a little bit, and at the same time, he closed the strategy booklet that he was holding like a baby just now with some regret , silently stuffed into the side pocket.

Zhuo Yu knew it, and with Tan Ting's childish, naive but sensitive heart, even if she looked calm on her face, she probably already felt very sad in her heart.

How can this be done.

Zhuo Yu just picked up a few wilted persimmons casually out of boredom, but she still couldn't help turning her head to glance at the thin figure under the orange tree behind her.He just looked at Tan Ting's basket containing two or three fruits, and the man was tiptoeing, trying to reach a rare big orange that was growing well on the branch.

Stunned.

Zhuo Yu saw that Tan Ting's fingertips were only a hair's breadth away from the orange, but he couldn't reach it. He was really anxious to see it, hesitated for a long time, and decided to go over to help Tan Ting.

As a result, a big black mouse came out directly.

"Student Tan Ting? What a coincidence."

After seeing Jiang Mian for a few days, she seemed to have grown a little taller again, so she jumped out of the room with a bluff.

She just passed by with two large baskets full of fruit, as if she was going to empty out the whole orchard.

Jianghu seemed to be about to head towards a lingering fruit tree in front of him, but he just bumped into Tan Ting, his eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him in surprise, "—so your homeroom teacher is so unlucky, I I thought you all went on a day trip to the amusement park?"

She looked up at Tan Ting's posture, and suddenly realized: "Can't you pick it up, let me help you."

Before Tan Ting had time to speak, he saw Jiang Mian put the basket in his hand on the ground, first rolled up his sleeves neatly, and took a few steps back on the spot.

Then she started running like lightning, jumped up nimbly, stretched out her hand, and easily picked off the big orange.

Tan Ting: "...!"

"Here you are—but why do you have so little fruit?"

With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Mian quickly threw the orange into Tan Ting's basket, then glanced at Tan Ting's clean bottom, and generously grabbed the fruit from his own basket into Tan Ting's basket. , "I still have some dates here, which I found in the depths of the park, hey, I'll give you some."

Tan Ting looked at a large handful of jujubes that fell into her basket, she seemed to be stunned, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Mian again, her eyes widened and she couldn't speak.

Jiang Mian grinned at him triumphantly.

She pointed behind her and said enthusiastically, "I'll go over there first. If you need help, you can come to me at any time. I have been very good at high jump since I was a child. As long as it is on a tree under three meters I can try to pick all the fruits for you!"

Tan Ting: "...Thank you, classmate Jiang Mian."

Jiang Mian waved at him hilariously, then turned around and continued to empty the orchard.

Tan Ting looked at the dates in the basket, raised his head and was stunned for a while, then he turned his head as if he had sensed it, and met Zhuo Yu's neither cold nor cold eyes.

"Zhuo Yu..."

Tan Ting first called out his name happily, but when he got closer and saw Zhuo Yu's face, he subconsciously became timid and stopped in his tracks.

Tan Ting paused blankly, then tilted his head, and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Mian just said that there is a jujube tree behind, shall we go and have a look?"

Zhuo Yu was silent for a moment.

He suddenly grabbed a jujube from Tan Ting's basket, wiped it casually on his sleeve, and then, under Tan Ting's dumbfounded gaze, swallowed the kernel in one gulp as if nothing had happened.

"go."

The crisp and juicy jujubes shattered in his mouth. Zhuo Yu chewed silently for a long time, feeling the unique sweet and sour taste jumping on the tip of his tongue and then dissipating.

After a while he looked at Tan Ting calmly and said, "Why don't you go."

Sure enough, there are several rows of jujube trees planted in the deepest part of the park.

Before Tan Ting had time to be happy, she watched Zhuo Yu stop and stand on the spot, then took off suddenly and lightly, and went straight to reach a jujube at the highest point on the tree.

Then Zhuo Yu held the jujube and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his head, and glanced at Tan Ting as if nothing had happened.

However, he didn't speak either. He just loosened his fingers and casually threw the dates into his basket. He turned around and jumped up again. He jumped a few times. Amid the rustling sound of the branches, the jujubes were soon full. I grabbed a handful of dates in my hand.

Zhuo Yu continued to look at the jujube in his hand for a while, then he suddenly raised his head and glanced lightly at Tan Ting again.

Tan Ting: "..."

Tan Ting realized that something seemed wrong.

"Zhuo Yu, don't you like picking?"

It felt like Zhuo Yu had the five big characters "Come and follow me" written all over her face, so Tan Ting stayed for three seconds, and finally said ignorantly and cautiously, "It's okay, we can go back early, I'll bring you brought the physics workbook, we can..."

"it's OK."

Zhuo Yu said slowly, "Besides, don't you like these dates? I'll pick more for you. Just follow me with the basket."

Tan Ting was startled for a moment, then blinked after a while, and hummed happily.

Zhuo Yu has entered the mode of the big flower peacock again.

Tan Ting just watched him wagging his big tail, jumping up and down, taking off nimbly at any time, picking off dates one after another neatly, and throwing them backhand into Tan Ting's basket handsomely and pretentiously.

Tan Ting obediently followed him and stacked the dates neatly, watching the basket in his hand slowly swell up like a hill, and soon it was too full to hold any more.

So Zhuo Yu squeezed the last jujube in his hand, and added a small spire to this sweet hill.

He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead, only to feel that his whole arm was tired and sore, but seeing Tan Ting's joyful and jumping side face, he still felt an itch in his heart,

"how."

Zhuo Yu wagged her tail triumphantly and asked, "Did I pick them quickly and steadily? And the dates I picked were far bigger and rounder than those given by your friend from the botanical club?"

It took Tan Ting a while to realize that Zhuo Yu was talking about Jiang Mian.

He didn't realize for a moment why the topic of Haoduanduan suddenly changed to this place, but he looked down at the heavy and full basket, and nodded honestly.

"Big, a lot."

Tan Ting, who had realized his dream, was in a good mood. He held the basket with some difficulty, raised his face, looked at Zhuo Yu seriously and said, "Zhuo Yu is very powerful."

Damn, what is this person doing...why is he boasting so directly.

Zhuo Yu paused for a moment, and only after a long while did he hum softly and turn his head away.

Before Tan Ting could speak, Zhuo Yu glanced at his slender wrist again, paused, grabbed the heavy basket in his hand, and walked to the front.

"move."

Zhuo Yu said, "I see that the weather is not right. I'm afraid they have gone back a long time ago. Don't turn around and don't even leave us a few mouthfuls of food."

Zhuo Yu's mouth really opened up.

"—This is all I have tried my best to keep for you."

Han Ziqian cried and pointed to the half bowl of rice and two plates of lonely side dishes on the table and said, "It's too late for you two to come back, you can't find someone to send me a WeChat message, and the farmhouse doesn't have enough dishes. It's so clean, those hungry alphas in the same courtyard eat faster than anyone else, I can't even grab my own at the dining table..."

Zhuo Yu was speechless.

In fact, he didn't care so much about the quality of food and drink, but there is a person who is so greedy, just these brown rice cold dishes, is it enough...

"It's okay." Tan Ting said.

Zhuo Yu was taken aback.

Tan Ting seemed to be a little tired, she lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, and then whispered to Zhuo Yu after a long while, "I'm really tired this day, and I really don't have the energy to eat dinner right now, and you happen to be alone, Zhuo Yu Just enough to eat—I brought some snacks, let me get them for you."

After a while, Tan Ting walked out of his room slowly with a bag of marinated eggs and ham in his arms.

Zhuo Yu watched his cheeks glow with orange-toned warmth under the setting sun, the corners of the boy's eyes were slightly red, and while yawning, he stuffed a large bag of things into his hands, and rubbed his eyes again Tears welled up, and it took a long time before I looked up, looked at myself and said, "Eat more, me, I'm going to sleep first."

Zhuo Yu was silent for a while while holding the marinated egg, and then looked at Tan Ting who seemed so sleepy that he couldn't even stand upright, and asked hesitantly: "Are you feeling unwell? Why are you so sleepy all of a sudden? You don't even eat food. go to bed?"

"When I just left the orchard, I always felt a little dizzy."

I don’t know if it’s because of the reflection of the setting sun, Tan Ting’s skin on the neck seems to be tinged with red, he muttered and yawned again, and said slowly, “—Maybe it’s the one called Dabus Maybe it’s because I’ve been sitting there for too long, I’ll just take a rest.”

"Good night, Zhuo Yu." Tan Ting said.

Saying goodnight at 06:30 in the evening is really a bit of an evil way,

Although I always felt that Tan Ting's behavior of not even eating was a bit abnormal, but Zhuo Yu saw that he seemed to be really not sober, after all he nodded hesitantly and said good night.

So Zhuo Yu sat on the stone steps and looked at the mountain scenery and sunset outside the door, took apart two marinated eggs and three pieces of ham, and squeezed them into his bowl without interest.

Then he just ate the small half bowl of cold rice, and under the envious eyes of a big yellow dog in the yard, he finished the dinner in a vague way.
