This Quick Transmigration Experience Is A Bit Sweet Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Country-Side Romance

The cicadas kept chirping and this made the listeners feel annoyed. 

The sunlight was very strong. Zong Yuan had already cut a bit under half an acre of wheat in the morning. It was almost eleven o'clock at that time, which was the hottest time of the day.

He walked to the old tree on the side of the road to rest in the shade, and placed his sickle and straw hat randomly on the side. Sweat had completely soaked through his tank top and his glistening toned muscles were very eye-catching.

Chen Hong’mei hurried over with a basket of rice, and then she neatly filled Zong Yuan's cup with water, "Son, how long until it’s finished?"

Zong Yuan glanced at the scattered fields and calculated the time, "Tomorrow afternoon maybe."

There was a smile on Chen Hong’mei's face, and the lines on her aged face formed wrinkles, "That's good, our family only has one man, but we’re still better than others, A’yuan, eat quickly, your sister made this dish just for you."

The air in the rural side smelled of grass. The sky was blue and the clouds were white while the shadows of the trees danced about.

Zong Yuan ate silently in a daze while he listened to Chen Hong'mei's chattering.

It seemed as if in just the previous second, Fu Xin was still lying on him and acting coquettish. Without showing any embarrassment, he grabbed onto him and refused to let go. Occasionally, he would draw out his voice as he called out “husband”.

During the time Zong Yuan ate his meal, Chen Hong’mei skillfully tied up the harvested wheat into bundles that weighed about 20-25 kg each. She placed two bundles on a flat pole so that she could carry it over her shoulder when she returned back.

Zong Yuan looked at the sun, "Mom, go back quickly, my little sister is still waiting for you."

"Ah," Chen Hong'mei sighed. "It's too hot right now, you should rest and hide for a while and then continue later. No need to rush."

This place was a mountainous area with crop fields; the land was uneven and the fields were very irregularly shaped and scattered apart. Even transportation, not to mention using a harvester, was not very convenient. Everything had to rely on hand power.

Zong Yuan had a buzz cut, and his eyes and brows were filled with determination.  He touched his pocket and took out a pack of low-quality cigarettes.

The smell of tobacco was strong and unrefined. He flicked the ashes and rubbed his eyebrows while he tried to drive Fu Xin's figure out of his mind. He looked into the distance, "The countryside is quite nice. This body has a reliable muscle memory so everything was easy to learn to do."

0046 said, "I was afraid you won't be able to adapt."

It didn't expect him to do so well.

A young man pulling a leather suitcase walked down the road. He walked with a light step here and a heavy step there while on the muddy road. His eyebrows extended into his temples and his appearance was sharp and handsome. At that moment, he was frowning irritably as he scraped the bottom of his leather boot against a rock, "F*ck off, damn dog sh*t."

The rock was too rounded so he couldn’t scrape the bottom of his boots clean. Another line of curses blasted out of Jiang Sheng’yan's mouth again. The sun was too intense and the heat made his mouth dry and parched. He licked his lips and saw a person lying under the tree from a distance.

There was no small convenience shop in this place for another 250 kilometers. He was so thirsty that his temper became irritable. He pulled his suitcase and walked over to that place. He asked the hillbilly under the tree, "Hey, where do you guys sell water?"

 Zong Yuan had his eyes closed for a nap, "None."

 "Dammit," Jiang Sheng’yan felt his temple pulse, "what a sh*tty place."

 Zong Yuan covered his face with his hat since he didn't want to pay attention to this person at all.

Jiang Sheng’yan's throat was about to burst into flames. His eyes glanced at the cup beside the hillbilly and swallowed his own saliva. F*ck, I want to drink, but it’s too f*cking filthy.

He glanced around this area. Maybe because the weather was too hot, or maybe because the mountain road was too rugged, he didn't even see a single person.

He dragged his suitcase and walked over, "Then you should at least know where there's a place to eat and rest."

Zong Yuan's lazy voice came from under the straw hat, "Then you should at least know what politeness is."

Jiang Sheng’yan turned blue in the face but he couldn’t yell out a single curse because he was defeated by his thirst,  "Please tell me."

Zong Yuan curled his lips and answered slowly, "There’s none."

This place was called Li Village-- the type of place that can’t even be found on the map. The entrance of the village wasn’t reached yet from this location so if a person wants to find a place to eat and rest, then the person can dream on.

Jiang Sheng’yan, "You’re messing with me"

After saying these few words, there was no more moisture in his mouth to swallow. Jiang Sheng’yan could feel a bloody taste in his throat. He got up anxiously and walked around, and then he kicked the old tree.

The leaves were shaking and he looked at the man lying under the tree: motionless, as if he was asleep.

He debated for a long time. He quietly walked over and stretched out his sinful hand toward the cup of water. Just a little bit more, a little bit, and finally, it was in his hand.

With the guilty conscience of a little thief, he ran behind the big tree. Jiang Sheng’yan glanced at Zong Yuan again and confirmed that he was still asleep. He impatiently opened the cup lid, and muttered in his mouth.

"What's wrong with me drinking a sip of your water? I didn't even complain how disgusting this is. Wait, I have to wash the mouth of the cup first."

He poured out a little bit of water to wipe the mouth of the cup. He impatiently held the cup to his lips and gulped down half of the cup.

"Satisfying."

Zong Yuan closed his eyes and tried to settle down for sleep. 0046 suddenly yelled, and he immediately sat up in surprise, "F*ck."

Just as Jiang Sheng’yan put down his cup of water, his guilty conscience suddenly turned into anger before he even could retract his hand away, "Why are you cursing?" Wasn't it just a sip of water? A big man acting finicky like an a*shole.

The straw hat on Zong Yuan's face slid down the bridge of his nose. He followed the sound of the voice and looked at this ill-tempered man. His sharp eyebrows frowned into the shape of a mountain valley, "Who cursed youIf you have nothing to do here, then scram. You’re blocking my sunlight."

To be honest, the hillbilly was extremely handsome. He looked like the classic manly guy that was rich in aggressive hormones.

But even if he looked handsome, it would still be a dead end for him to scold President Jiang. He was choked with anger for a long time and couldn't say a single word. His complexion was blue for one moment and red the next. "If you have the guts, then say it again,"

Poor President Jiang’s scolding skills. No one has ever spoken to him like this. He thought that throwing out strings of swear words was really cool but in reality, it was just the same few lines over and over again.

Zong Yuan, "..."

Without even looking at Jiang Sheng’yan, he laid back down again. He was too lazy to wear a straw hat this time. He asked 0046, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Sheng’yan kicked the pebbles on the ground fiercely and took a look at this hillbilly, whom he had a bad impression of now. He swiftly walked to the road while dragging his suitcase.

F*cking sh*t, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge even after ten years1.

0046 looked at the dialogue between Zong Yuan and Jiang Sheng’yan, "That person is the target of this mission"

"Oh," Zong Yuan replied perfunctorily, "Which part about him needs to be saved?"

Jiang Sheng’yan, the president of a large company, was young and promising, and handsome and rich. In the past few years, his temper was getting worse and worse. After becoming fed up with everything about the company, he simply carried his belongings and returned to the place where his grandfather used to live. He came to this old village near the mountains to seek for peace and quiet.

However, he was very pitiful. He was murdered in the old village. In the end, his body was discovered at the bottom of a mountain by a random person. By that time, half of his body was already eaten away by ant-like beetles. Don’t even bother mentioning conducting an investigation to find the murder, his body was already beyond recognition.

In the end, the case was hastily dismissed as an accidental fall.

A big boss, who was fawned over by everyone, pitifully passed away just like that.

Zong Yuan finished listening, "Then my task is to find the murderer."

0046 nodded and then shook its head, "The most important thing is to ensure his safety."

Zong Yuan, "Okay."

0046 made a bitter face, "Why did he get into a dispute with you the moment he got here?"

Zong Yuan thought of Fu Xin. He got up and wiped his face, "I'm in a bad mood and he's very annoying."

He touched the water cup and comforted 0046, "Either way, I just need to keep him safe, I don’t need to keep a good relationship with him. I’ll just be more careful."

0046 thought for a while, "You’re right."

Jiang Sheng’yan was almost done walking through the field and he turned his head only to see the man picking up his cup of water and drinking from it.

He hadn't taken a few steps yet, and he could even clearly see the curvature of the country boy's throat bob up and down.

F*ck. 

His face contorted and he almost fell over. His expression was distorted. Sh*t, he forgot to wash the mouth of the cup after drinking water just now.
