Eternity Starts From His Seed

Chapter 11: Night Activities

Mid-day, Manager Qin returned to inspect their work with WeiWei tailing him.

Bubai bowed his head, honestly hoeing away to not attract any attention.

Manager Qin briefly inspected the fields as usual. However, there was a sudden change different from normal today.

As Manager Qin lounged on his chair, fanning himself, WeiWei began to walk around to inspect the workers, speaking softly from time to time as if lecturing them. She went from one field to another, getting closer and closer to Bubai's plot.

Soon, what Bubai feared finally arrived.

Stopping behind Bubai, WeiWei had a mischievous smile on her face as she silently stared at him working.

Her stare made it feel like there were ants crawling on his back, but Bubai acted as if she wasn't there.

Alas, this only caused her to stay, as if she would not leave if he didn't look at her. Her long stay seemed to have drawn the attention of the other workers and even Manager Qin, who glanced over from afar.

A drop of sweat rolled down Bubai's forehead as he finally gave in, turning his gaze towards her. A beautiful smile bloomed on her face as she sensually licked her lips.

"Is there something Miss WeiWei?" Bubai asked, trying to keep the honest smile on his face.

"Hmm..." WeiWei blinked playfully, "You will know soon."

Before Bubai could inquire further, he saw Manager Qin arriving behind WeiWei, "My dear WeiWei, what's wrong?"

WeiWei gave Bubai a mischievous look before she turned around, sashaying to Manager Qin's side, pressing herself against his arm, "Qin Ge, I was just telling the lowly servant about his farming duties in the future."

"Oh?" Manager Qin glanced at the honest Bubai, "Xiao Chen here is one of my most honest workers. Did he do something wrong that I didn't notice?"

"Hmm." WeiWei hummed, causing Bubai's heart beat to pick up as he tightened his grip on his hoe.

After a pause that left Bubai's heart hanging, WeiWei continued in a cryptic tone, "I was just telling him to make sure to irrigate my field more this season. Last time, he didn't irrigate it enough, so the harvest wasn't that great. I hope the results will satisfy me next time."

"Oh... kakaka," Manager Qin didn't suspect anything, laughing it off, "Well, it's tough working in two fields, but I'm sure Xiao Chen can put more effort into it since he eats so much, am I right?"

Bubai, who understood WeiWei's cryptic message, inwardly cursed. Seeing WeiWei blinking her eyes towards him, conveying an unseen threat, he knew he had no choice. So, he agreed, "Yes, Manager Qin."

"Good. Good. Alright, my dear WeiWei, let's go take a seat. I'm sure you are tired from the workout yesterday." Manager Qin led the smiling WeiWei away, leaving Bubai alone.

Bubai watched them leave, bemoaning his future. It seemed even the strongest chess piece here was in her grasp.

Bubai's gaze peered towards the face of Ah Niu, who was hung on the stake. "It seems I will have to make my move tonight."

He then bowed his head, diligently hoeing the ground, concealing the storm of thoughts brewing within him.

Midnight.

The door to Bubai's hut creaked open as he snuck out. "Everyone should be asleep by this time after being exhausted by an entire day of hoeing."

Sneaking past a couple of huts and hearing the snoring come from within, Bubai nodded confidently as he turned his gaze towards the field, where the bloody corpse still hung alone on the stake, the faint moonlight glow revealing its horrendous condition, as if right out of a horror movie.
