At that moment, Li Chunmei and several of her female companions, who were also heading to harvest their rice, walked over to them.
Ye Ling saw them and said, "Duo Er, Chunmei's here. I'm going to ask her to return our sickle. Just sit here where it's cooler and away from the sun."
Great timing too. He was embarrassed and didn't know how to respond to her.
"Alright, you go," Liu Duo nodded in response.
Ye Ling got up, dusted his clothes, and off he went to the foot of the hill to wait for Li Chunmei.
They were about ten meters apart when the group of girls spotted Ye Ling standing there, with his back straightened, thin but not too weak. Not to mention his handsome face, already bringing the few women to their knees.
As they approached, Ye Ling gently requested of Li Chunmei, "Chunmei, could you return the sickle I lent you yesterday? I need it now."
