The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 42 Inside the Greenhouse_1

Li Qing arrived home just as evening was approaching.

At this hour, he wouldn’t have been able to do much work in the fields, and he didn’t know what else to do.

After making a round at home, he went to Han Mei’s place.

Han Mei had been helping Tian Yue’e weed the greenhouse for the past couple of days, and he wasn’t sure if she had returned yet.

When he reached her front door, it was locked tight.

So, Li Qing simply headed straight for Tian Yue’e’s greenhouse.

It took several greenhouse searches before he spotted a figure in one of the central ones.

"Sister-in-law,"

Li Qing called out as he lifted the curtain of the greenhouse and went inside.

An intense wave of heat hit him in the face.

In the summer, greenhouses are just like ovens.

Working inside, it didn’t take long to become unbearable.

Those who hadn’t done it before could hardly last even a few minutes.

"Qingzi, what brings you here?" came Han Mei’s voice from amidst the lush tomato plants.

Li Qing made his way towards the voice.

"Wait a minute, don’t come over here," Han Mei suddenly cried out in alarm.

But by the time she spoke, Li Qing had already seen her.

Han Mei was hastily pulling on a short-sleeved shirt.

It seemed that while working, she had only worn a small tank top.

As she dressed, the area beneath the tank top bounced joyously, revealing a flash of white.

"Qingzi has seen it before, what are you hiding for!" Tian Yue’e laughed so hard she doubled over.

The greenhouse was too hot and she too was wearing only a tank top, a pink one at that.

The narrow tank top could hardly contain her ample fullness, revealing much of her paleness.

"Naughty hussy, have you no shame!" Han Mei scolded softly.

"We’re all family here, what’s there for me to be ashamed of," Tian Yue’e declared unabashedly.

Not only did she speak boldly, but her actions were just as forthcoming.

As she spoke, she purposely accentuated her waist to show off her proud fullness to Li Qing.

At this sight, Li Qing’s throat went dry, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

In the steamy greenhouse, both Han Mei and Tian Yue’e were flushed from the heat, looking exceptionally tempting.

"Who’s your family, you shameless hussy. If you’re really that desperate, help out our Qingzi now, I’ll keep watch for you!" Han Mei spat out irritably.

Tian Yue’e giggled, "I’m not up for it these days, you should do it, I’ll keep watch for you!"

"Go away, you’re shameless," Han Mei retorted lightly.

Tian Yue’e walked over with a seductive gait, and reached to take off the short-sleeved shirt Han Mei had just put on, "I mean it, I didn’t get to see everything last time. Do me a favor and let me see the full version, will you?"

"I really find it so interesting to watch others do it."

Han Mei swung her fists playfully, punching Tian Yue’e a few times, "You really are mad, you hussy!"

"If we don’t go mad in our youth, it’s a wasted life. We don’t have many years left to be crazy so you better hurry up," Tian Yue’e earnestly persuaded, continuing to be handsy with Han Mei.

Her freshly worn short sleeves were plucked and tugged by Tian Yue’e, revealing even more.

Li Qing watched from the side, grinning broadly.

The scene was indeed a pleasure to behold.

It seemed that wherever Tian Yue’e was, even if Yue’er acted prim and proper, she would eventually let go a little.

"Qingzi, it looks like there might be rain tonight. Could you pop back home and gather in the almonds I’m drying?" After playing around with Tian Yue’e for a while, Han Mei found a moment to call out to Li Qing.

"No worries, don’t go, it’s not going to rain now." Tian Yue’e said with a giggle, "Your sister-in-law is just trying to get you out of here, afraid I might actually strip her bare for you to see clearly."

Li Qing’s throat moved slightly, as if that was indeed the case.

"Qingzi, don’t listen to that nonsense from that flirtatious woman, go on back now," Han Mei said with flushed cheeks.

Although Li Qing felt a bit of regret, he knew he had to listen to his sister-in-law.

He cast one more reluctant glance and then left the greenhouse with slow, dragging steps.

Just as Li Qing had put away the almonds drying outside, Han Mei came back fuming. "That shameless hussy, she really pisses me off. Qingzi, don’t you mingle with her. Let her say what she wants; I don’t believe she would dare to spread rumors."

Li Qing laughed, "Sister-in-law, why are you suddenly so angry?"

"She, that..." Han Mei’s breath hitched and she couldn’t go on, "She’s just too reckless."

Seeing Han Mei’s suddenly blushing face, Li Qing guessed what had happened.

"Sister-in-law, she didn’t actually..."

Han Mei waved her hand, but her tone suddenly softened, "What could she do to me? It’s just the same old antics."

"I really don’t know what’s so good-looking about what she’s got. She’s completely lost her mind."

Li Qing felt a stir in his heart; he had first been teased quietly by Yu Lan that day, and then in the greenhouse, he saw a scene that almost made his nose bleed; his inner thoughts were already hard to contain.

Thinking this, he followed Han Mei into the yard and then said, "Sister-in-law, you should go wash up, you’re covered in sweat."

Han Mei immediately became wary, "What mischief are you plotting now?"

"Sister-in-law, I’m not!" Li Qing immediately protested.

"You’re curious about what Tian Yue’e actually did, yet you’re urging me to take a bath. Obviously, you want to peek, I won’t go!" Han Mei crossed her arms and lifted her head haughtily.

"Sister-in-law, I really think you’re too hot. Look, the sweat on your arms is even crystallizing," Li Qing said earnestly.

He was getting a bit anxious now, not expecting that Han Mei would see right through his little schemes.

Han Mei scrutinized Li Qing, then shook her head, "I’m not going!"

Her haughty little expression made Li Qing’s heart throb uncontrollably.

Her fair face blushed with youthfulness, her wet hair, disheveled, stuck to her temples, making her not a bit less beautiful but rather adding a wild charm.

"Sister-in-law, I really don’t have any other thoughts," Li Qing kept denying as he explained.

"Really?" Han Mei raised her eyebrow and asked.

Li Qing nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Han Mei suddenly giggled, pointed at Li Qing and said, "Behave yourself, alright?"

Li Qing watched as Han Mei gathered her things and went into the bathroom, and once the sound of the water was running, he tiptoed and quietly approached.

Behaving himself was out of the question.

He crept up, intending to listen in, but accidentally knocked his head against the door.

Squeak.

The door actually opened.

Li Qing was somewhat taken aback; had his sister-in-law left the door open for him on purpose?

"I knew you wouldn’t behave yourself." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Just then, a splash of water flew out.

Li Qing’s heart jumped with elation. He wiped his face with his hand and squeezed into the bathroom, quickly closing the door behind him.

In the bathroom, Han Mei stood timidly in a corner, wearing just a tank top, a smile on her lips.

"What are you standing there for? Come and scrub my back," she said softly, giving Li Qing a glance.
