Chapter 576: It Rained All Night

Fang Ye laughed, "Oh, are you shy?"

Lan Li's muffled voice came from under the covers, "I'm a bit nervous!"

Fang Ye asked, "Do you want me to turn off the lights?"

Lan Li rolled around under the covers and poked her head out, turning on the bedside lamp, "Hmm, turn off the main light."

After turning off the main light, Fang Ye also felt a bit nervous!

His heart was pounding as he carefully lifted the covers, revealing Lan Li's blushing face, as delicate as a lotus emerging from water. She hugged her legs, looking a bit shy.

Their eyes met, and Fang Ye gently kissed her. Lan Li's gaze gradually became dreamy...

At some point, it started raining outside.

Summer rain always comes suddenly.

At first, there were only a few raindrops on the ground. As the rain increased, the fields gradually became wet, and the wild grass outside the ridges was also soaked.

Under the continuous drizzle, the crops were nourished, swaying in the rain.

The rain grew heavier, turning into a torrential downpour after a brief prelude!

People who had the habit of keeping windows open for ventilation at night in the summer hurriedly got out of bed to close the windows.

The heavy raindrops pounded on the windows, creating a constant noise.

After a while, the torrential rain gradually subsided, turning into a light drizzle.

Gradually, the clouds dispersed, and the rain stopped, leaving behind muddy fields and fallen leaves, with the courtyard in a mess.

The next morning!

Bright sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

Fang Ye woke up to see Lan Li sleeping soundly, hugging him tightly like an octopus.

He couldn't help but chuckle and gently brushed her nose with his finger.

Lan Li gradually woke up to Fang Ye's gentle gaze.

Having just experienced such an event, she was still a bit shy, and her face instantly turned red.

Realizing they were still hugging each other, she felt even more embarrassed.

She had a habit of sleeping with a plush toy, but today it was replaced by Fang Ye.

However, feeling this warmth, she still felt very happy.

She coquettishly said, "Don't look! I need to change my clothes."

Fang Ye chuckled, "How about we take a bath together?"

Lan Li rolled her eyes at Fang Ye as she pulled her hair back, "In your dreams!"

Just as she was about to move, she winced in pain, her brows slightly furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

"It's all your fault! You wore me out yesterday," Lan Li said, lifting the covers to see Fang Ye still full of energy. She quickly covered him back up, blushing furiously, "Hmph, shameless."

She was exhausted from yesterday, yet the director was already thinking about naughty things early in the morning! Doesn't he ever get tired?

Fang Ye shrugged, "It's normal; it's always like this in the morning."

Maybe it was the frequent consumption of spirit water improving his body, leading to this "side effect" of boundless energy.

Lan Li searched for her underwear among the clothes scattered on the floor but couldn't find it. She finally noticed it had been thrown onto the windowsill.

As she climbed over him to get it, Fang Ye, unable to resist the sight, pulled Lan Li back into his arms, caressing her smooth back, and they rolled around in the sheets again.

After another round of breathless activity, they lay down, exhausted.

Lan Li hugged Fang Ye, playfully punching his chest, and said with a frown, "It's all your fault! I don't think I can go out for the next two days."

If she went out and people saw her walking awkwardly, it would be obvious what had happened.

Fang Ye laughed, "The director is the boss at the zoo. Taking a leave is easy. I'll give you a week's leave! Rest well."

"Thank you, boss!"

"By the way, what should you call me now?"

Lan Li blinked, "Husband?"

"Bingo!"

Fang Ye gently caressed Lan Li's delicate face, "You rest well at home. I'll go get us some food."

He checked the time on his phone. It was already 10 AM. They had woken up at 9 and spent quite a bit of time in bed.

The breakfast at the canteen was long gone; it was almost time for lunch.

But there were plenty of places to eat at the zoo. Fang Ye decided to go to the panda restaurant to get some light bamboo shoot chicken soup. He could ask the chef to add some goji berries for extra nourishment.

Thinking about the restorative effects of spirit water, he also poured a bit of it into a cup from the living room.

On the cat tree, Huahua angrily watched Fang Ye!

Last night, during the heavy rain, it had felt a bit scared and wanted to find a warm bed to sleep in.

Occasionally, Huahua would sleep with Fang Ye or Lan Li.

But when it knocked on the door and meowed, there was no response. All it heard were strange noises from inside, a mix of crying and shouting, which sounded quite frightening.

What were these two humans doing? Were they fighting?

No matter what, I am the true master of this house!

"Meow!" Huahua called out to Fang Ye, its voice stern, issuing a formal warning.

If you ignore me again, I'm running away from home!

Though with Huahua's current plump physique, it probably wouldn't catch any birds outside.

Fang Ye didn't realize what Huahua had gone through last night. He just thought it was hungry and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? Sorry, I woke up a bit late today!"

He poured some cat food into Huahua's bowl.

With food, Huahua forgot everything and jumped down from the cat tree to eat happily.

It looked like a chubby pancake.

Fang Ye handed a cup of water to Lan Li, "Drink some water to rehydrate!"

No problem.

Lan Li took the cup and kissed him on the cheek, "Love you!"

Before leaving, Fang Ye remembered the heavy rain from last night and suddenly felt a pang of worry!

He muttered, "I hope my precious seedlings weren't damaged?"

He went out to check the yard.

The yard was littered with fallen leaves, and the flowers were blooming beautifully, with some dewdrops on the petals.

The tomatoes planted in January had grown into seedlings by March and could be transplanted to trellises.

After flowering, the tomatoes began to grow. Initially, the fruits were hard, with white-green skin and poor flavor.

The tomatoes in the yard were now in the ripening stage, turning from white to a light pink, and the flesh had softened a bit.

The crops grown with spirit soil and spirit water were very resilient. After a night of rain, they looked even more vibrant.

The tomatoes seemed riper and more enticing, and it looked like they would be ready to harvest soon.

Fang Ye felt good after inspecting his precious seedlings!

He went to the panda restaurant and ordered bamboo shoot chicken soup, instructing the chef to add some red dates and goji berries.

Returning with the soup, he smiled at Lan Li, "Come have some chicken."

Lan Li had already gotten out of bed and taken a shower. She was surprised, "I don't know why, but I feel a bit better!"
