There was no time to lose; Xiaoshan rushed to the vegetable patch.
Because Li Guangli had made a fuss about starting a mine and giving people money, many of the workers had run off to join the excitement in the center of the village.
Only a few remained working in the vegetable patch, not noticing Cui Xin'ai and her assistant.
"Beauty Cui, what are you doing here?"
Approaching her, Xiaoshan asked knowingly.
At these words, Cui Xin'ai immediately chided him.
"Oppa, call me Xin'ai."
The word "Oppa" was drawn out with a long, lingering tone, clearly flirtatious with Xiaoshan.
After the recent display of affection, Cui Xin'ai became increasingly bold in front of Xiaoshan, almost as if she truly saw him as her brother.
Xiaoshan coughed awkwardly twice, then asked again.
"That… Xin'ai, what are you doing?"
Surprisingly, Cui Xin'ai didn't hide anything and directly responded, "I'm really curious about Oppa's vegetable cultivation techniques, so I wanted to study them a bit."
