The next morning, as expected, Lao Fan came knocking on the door to scrounge for food again. Lin Yuan was no longer surprised by it, but she did find it odd that Xia Zheng hadn't come along. Upon asking Liuzi, she found out that the guy had actually taken her story about the "fruit pomegranate" seriously and had been pondering and studying it all night. He was still up with panda eyes, grafting plants in the backyard!
Lin Yuan felt somewhat speechless and also a bit embarrassed. After pondering for a long time, she still instructed Liuzi to tell Xia Zheng, after returning, that she had been joking and the thing might not even exist.
While eating donkey rolling on the ground that he had scrounged from the kitchen, Lao Fan hummed twice, "Let that stinky kid tinker on! Giving him something to do so he won't come to bother me!"
