I'm a Druid at a farmhouse.

Chapter 78 [Jungle Druid] Progress Increased

Song You squatted in the vegetable garden, feeling the joyful emotions conveyed by the plants, and a sense of peace settled in his heart.

He has figured out a trick to quickly improve his progress as a Jungle Druid.

It's no longer about simply treating the disease and saving the trees, but about listening to the most subtle needs of each plant and fulfilling them.

Just as he was immersed in this wonderful exchange, the sky darkened without warning.

A cool breeze carrying moisture swept by, swirling up a few fallen leaves from the ground.

Song You looked up, and a few cold raindrops had already hit his face.

His heart skipped a beat. His first thought wasn't whether he would get wet, but rather the large pile of bed sheets and duvet covers hanging on the clothesline in the yard.

Su Yunxi had just washed it that morning.

"It's raining!" Song You shouted and rushed to the center of the yard.

Su Yunxi, who was inside the house, also heard the commotion. She leaned out of the second-floor window and saw dark clouds looming overhead. Her expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly ran out of the house.

By the time she ran into the yard, Song You had already nimbly pulled the thickest quilt off the clothesline and was holding it in his arms.

The rain came quickly and heavily, with large raindrops pattering down, instantly soaking the ground.

"Quick, collect the rest!" Song You shouted at Su Yunxi.

Working together, the two managed to salvage everything and bring it back under the eaves before the torrential rain began to pour down.

Song You placed the quilt that had escaped the water damage onto the chair, clapped his hands, and thankfully, the thick quilt hadn't gotten wet much.

Su Yunxi was carrying a large pile of bed sheets and pillowcases. A few strands of her hair were wet from the rain and stuck to her cheeks, making her look somewhat disheveled.

She reached out and touched the bed sheet in her arms, her brows immediately furrowing.

Although it wasn't directly soaked by the rain, it had been drying in the humid air for an afternoon, and then got wet again by the last raindrops, giving it a cold, damp feel to the touch.

"It's not completely dry." Su Yunxi's voice revealed an obvious sense of frustration.

"We can't cover it up tonight," Song You concluded.

"What should I do?" Su Yunxi looked at the pile of damp fabric in her arms, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Song You glanced at her, said nothing, turned around and went upstairs to his room.

Soon, he brought out a neatly folded quilt and a brand-new set of bedding and asked Su Yunxi to come up.

"Here, use mine." He handed the items to Su Yunxi.

Su Yunxi was stunned, clutching the wet sheet in her arms, but did not reach out to take it.

"If you're using mine, then what are you using?"

"I have a new one in my closet," Song You replied simply and directly.

Su Yunxi looked at him, then at the blanket in his arms, which was clearly still in use and seemed to retain the sunlight and his scent.

Her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

"This isn't a good idea."

"What's this?" Seeing that she didn't move, Song You simply shoved the blanket in her hands, his expression serious. "You were the one who took the blanket out to air it this morning. Now that it's wet, we can't let the boss use the old one. You should use the new one."

Su Yunxi was completely bewildered by his logic.

She looked down at the quilt in her arms, which belonged to Song You. It was soft to the touch and had a comforting warmth.

I feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

"That's not what I meant. Okay, I'll listen to you, senior." She hugged the blanket, lowered her head, and answered softly.

Song You looked at the girl's reddened ears and found it amusing, but he still maintained the stern demeanor of a boss.

"Alright, hurry up and go change, then we'll get ready for dinner."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Su Yunxi pretended to be reluctant, holding the quilt, and stood there for a while before slowly going upstairs.

Back in her room, she spread the blanket that belonged to Song You on the bed.

A clean and refreshing scent instantly filled my nostrils.

It doesn't smell like any kind of laundry detergent or soap, but rather a blend of sunshine, grass, and soil.

It's very unique, it has a flavor that belongs to Song You.

Her cheeks were burning, and she buried her face in the pillow, taking a deep breath.

His breath filled my entire chest cavity.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction and security enveloped her completely.

The shampoo scent left behind by the unknown woman in the room seemed to have been completely dispelled in that instant.

Su Yunxi lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

She suddenly remembered what happened more than half a month ago, in her cousin Wen Qingyan's apartment.

and many more.

My cousin's nose has always been more sensitive than others' since she was a child.

Could it be that she recognized Song You, whom she had only met once, because of this unique scent?

She found it strange at the time, but now she seems to understand it a little better.

This flavor is truly unforgettable.

A dangerous thought popped into Su Yunxi's mind.

Or, could we find an opportunity to mention to Dad that we could transfer my cousin to the African branch for a few years of training?

They're in dire need of a legal manager.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Su Yunxi was startled.

She quickly shook her head, trying to banish the terrible thought from her mind.

What are you thinking? My cousin is family, how can you think of her like that?

Yes, I must have been overthinking it.

She pulled the blanket up over her head, shrinking herself into the world filled with Song You's presence, forcing herself to stop overthinking.

......

In the following days, life at the agritainment business returned to its usual tranquility.

Song You devoted most of his energy to the orchard on the back hill and the vegetable garden in the yard.

Every day, he is like a patient old farmer, patrolling his territory, listening to the voice of each plant, and then using the power of nature and his professional agricultural knowledge to solve all sorts of small problems for them.

The progress of learning 【Jungle Druid】is also steadily increasing through this day-to-day "exchange".

From 53% to 58%, and then to 65%...

With each jump of the progress bar, his understanding of nature deepened, and it has now reached 83%.

Su Yunxi gradually adapted to the rhythm of the farm stay.

Although he occasionally makes some harmless mistakes, his unwavering determination from beginning to end impressed Song Youdu.

Of course, more work was also assigned, since those who are capable are given more responsibilities.

Before we knew it, it was Saturday.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window.

As usual, Song You swallowed three Red Dragon Nest Fruits, feeling the pure life energy flowing through his body, washing away the fatigue of the night.

When he came out of the house, Su Yunxi had already cleaned the yard and was feeding the chickens.

"Good morning, boss." Su Yunxi greeted him with a smile.

"morning."

"Oh, right," Su Yunxi straightened up and patted the bits of hay off her hands, "My cousin is coming today. She said she'll take the earliest bus and arrive at the village entrance around nine o'clock."

"Okay, I'll pick her up then." Song You nodded.

"No need," Su Yunxi shook her head, "I'll go pick it up!"

"You're going?" Song You looked at her with some suspicion.

"Yeah, right!" Su Yunxi puffed out her chest, looking eager to try. "I'll drive your tricycle!"

Looking at her enthusiastic expression, Song You recalled the image of her face covered in mud when she first learned to pull weeds.

Let her drive a tricycle?

He was a little worried about the new car he had just bought not long ago.

However, seeing the girl's expectant eyes, he swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue.

Well, let her give it a try.

"Can you drive?"

"Senior, don't underestimate me." Su Yunxi pouted unhappily. "I got my driver's license a long time ago. What's so difficult about driving a tricycle?"

"Okay." Song You took the tricycle keys out of his pocket and handed them to her. "Drive slowly and be careful."

Don't worry!

Su Yunxi took the keys, ate breakfast, and, calculating that it was almost time, excitedly ran to start the blue electric tricycle.

Although I thought it was impossible, I figured it was better to greet my cousin myself.

With a slight crackling sound of electricity, the tricycle wobbled out of the yard.

Song You stood at the door watching, still a little uneasy, until he saw the tricycle smoothly turn onto the main road of the village before turning back into the yard.

Village entrance.

Wen Qingyan was standing under an old locust tree.

Today she wore a well-tailored beige casual shirt, a pair of flat white leather shoes, her long hair simply tied back, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She exuded a capable and intellectual aura.

She stood ramrod straight, holding Wen Yaya in her arms.

A passenger bus drove away beside her, spewing exhaust fumes and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Wen Qingyan subconsciously took a step back, frowned slightly, took out a tissue from her bag, and wiped the dust off her trouser legs.

She glanced at the time on her phone: 9:10.

Yunxi said she was coming to pick her up, why hasn't she arrived yet?

Just as she was about to make a phone call to ask, a buzzing motor sound came from afar.

Wen Qingyan raised her head.

At the other end of the village road, a blue electric tricycle with a rustic feel was approaching at a moderate speed.

Two red ribbons were hanging from the front of the car, swaying back and forth with the bumps of the vehicle.

The driver was a girl.

The girl was wearing a faded, oversized T-shirt, a straw hat, and had a few mud stains on her face, looking like she had just come back from working in the fields.

Wen Qingyan's brows furrowed even deeper.

She took out her phone, ready to remind Su Yunxi to be careful and avoid the area.

However, the tricycle did not give way, but drove straight towards her and finally stopped steadily in front of her.

The girl on the bus took off her straw hat, revealing a beautiful, unadorned face.

She grinned at Wen Qingyan, revealing a set of white teeth, her voice clear and loud.

"Sis, get in the car!"

Wen Qingyan was completely petrified as she looked at her cousin, who was covered in dirt but had a bright smile on her face and blended perfectly into her surroundings.

She almost dropped her phone.

This is Su Yunxi, who has always been someone whose clothes can't have a single wrinkle and who has to spend two hours putting on makeup before going out.

Wen Qingyan seriously doubted whether she had gotten off at the wrong stop.
