The Mysterious Gardener

The next morning, as agreed, Jane brought over a fruit basket filled with freshly-picked strawberries. They were lusciously red and still covered in morning dew.

Xia Fan grabbed a strawberry and tasted it. He found them particularly tasty, and once they were in his stomach, he felt a warm current flowing through his body.

 Jane smiled and asked him, "So? Are my strawberries tasty or not?"

Xia Fan put on a dazzling smile. "To tell the truth, it's the tastiest strawberry I've ever had. How exactly did you grow them? Each one of them is bursting with juice and is incredibly delicious."

Jane was very happy to hear Xia Fan's praise. "In truth, this isn't my handiwork, but the work of Uncle Luolin. He's the castle's gardener, and I learned everything I know from him."

At this moment, Bright Pearl, who was still quiet as she recovered from her injuries, suddenly spoke in Xia Fan's mind, 'You have to pay attention to this Luolin person. He's suspicious.'
