Er Gou, life in the countryside is so carefree!

Li Mei has clearly been in the greenhouse for a long time today.

His once impeccable white coat was now smudged with mud, fine beads of sweat clung to his nose, and a thin layer of mist covered his glasses.

Upon seeing the two people enter, especially Zhou Caixia's hand that was almost hanging around Chen Ergou's neck, Li Mei paused in pushing up her glasses, and a barely perceptible hint of sourness flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, isn't this President Zhou?"

Li Mei patted the dirt off her hands, her tone neither warm nor cold, carrying a businesslike quality:

"What wind blew you here today, Buddha? The greenhouse is full of mud, don't get your custom-made suit dirty."

They were all acquaintances and had eaten together a few times before for the cooperation on the greenhouse, but that did not prevent the two women from having a jarring aura.

One is a businesswoman exuding wealth and mature charm, the other is a sophisticated and intellectual female expert with a great figure.

When these two get together, it's more exciting than Mars colliding with Earth.

"Commissioner Li, you've worked hard."

Zhou Caixia released Chen Ergou, flicked a strand of curly hair behind her ear, and smiled with captivating charm:

"I heard from Er Gou that our jade dragon melons have grown to maturity. I'm an investor, and also Er Gou's... sister, so of course I had to come and see the results as soon as possible. Unlike Commissioner Li, who's been guarding this land every day, he's practically become a melon watcher."

The way she called her "sister" was so meaningful, and she even emphasized the words "melon watcher," implying that Li Mei was just a worker.

How could Li Mei not hear it?

She pursed her lips, took off her glasses and wiped them, then retorted calmly:

"The people who watch over the melons are better than some who only know how to pick them. These melons grow so well because of scientific management, not because of spraying perfume. The smell in the greenhouse is strong, Mr. Zhou, don't get over the fumes."

"Oh my, Commissioner Li's mouth is getting sharper and sharper."

Zhou Caixia wasn't angry. Instead, she took a few steps forward and deliberately stood next to Chen Ergou, fanning herself with her hand.

"But it's so hot in this greenhouse, like a sauna. Er Gou, look at me, my makeup is all ruined, I'm covered in sweat, it's so sticky and uncomfortable."

As she spoke, she reached out her slender fingers and gently unbuttoned the two buttons on her collar in front of Li Mei.

This solution is quite remarkable.

Her neckline was slightly open, revealing the edge of her black lace lingerie and a large expanse of snow-white skin flushed red from the heat.

A glistening bead of sweat slid down her slender neck and flowed into the deep, unfathomable cleavage.

This scene would make any man's mouth water.

Chen Ergou stared wide-eyed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Seeing this, Zhou Caixia glanced at Li Mei triumphantly, as if to say: Little brat, you think you can compete with me? You're still too green.

Li Mei was so angry at this scene that her chest heaved.

She gritted her teeth, her competitive spirit ignited.

"Is it hot? I think it's okay."

As Li Mei spoke, she actually took off her large white coat.

"Splash!"

The white coats were laid on the ground.

He was only wearing a gray, tight-fitting tank top underneath!

The vest was half-soaked with sweat, clinging tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her curves, which, while not as full as Zhou Caixia's, were nonetheless extremely shapely and rounded.

Especially her toned waistline, honed from years of working in the fields, exudes a healthy, wild beauty.

Li Mei casually pulled her hair up, revealing her long neck, and looked at Zhou Caixia with a defiant gaze:

"We're the kind of people who work in the fields, so efficiency is key. If Mr. Zhou can't stand the heat, he should go back to his car and turn on the air conditioning. He shouldn't get sick from the heat."

This isn't a comparison of heat at all.

This is clearly a contest of physiques! A contest of who's more willing to go all out!

Caught in the middle, Chen Ergou looked to his left at the bottomless ravine and to his right at the firm, upright curves, feeling that happiness had come too suddenly and he was a little dizzy from the milk.

"Ahem! Hey everyone, calm down, let's eat some watermelon since it's hot!"

Chen Ergou quickly acted as a peacemaker, casually picking a jade dragon melon, breaking it in half with his bare hands without washing it, and handing it to the two of them.

"Come, come, these are freshly picked, they're the most thirst-quenching! Eat this melon, and I guarantee all your anger will subside!"

Zhou Caixia took the half cucumber, not minding that it was dirty, and gave Chen Ergou a flirtatious look. She opened her red lips, stuck out her tongue and gently licked the cucumber flesh before taking a small bite.

The gesture was full of suggestive meaning, making Chen Ergou's heart burn with desire.

"Mmm...it's so sweet, it's all water."

Zhou Caixia said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Li Mei took a big bite, chewing loudly as if she were biting into the cucumber like Zhou Caixia:

"It has a crisp texture and the sugar content is just right; it's definitely a good melon."

After finishing the melon, Zhou Caixia's eyes lit up, and she came up with another wicked idea.

She leaned against Chen Ergou and said softly:

"Ergou, I've seen the gossip and worked up a sweat. I don't want to go back to the city tonight, it's too much of a hassle. I'll stay here tonight, perfect... could you wash off this sweat for me?"

"You live here?"

Chen Ergou was taken aback.

"No!"

Before Er Gou could speak, Li Mei became anxious.

She pushed up her glasses and said with a righteous expression:

"There's only one bed in the makeshift room; that's for Er Gou to keep watch at night. It's inconvenient for President Zhou to stay here."

"Is there anything inconvenient?"

Zhou Caixia raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"Can't Er Gou and I just squeeze in? It's warmer in a smaller bed anyway. Besides, I'm an investor; I have to keep an eye on my assets. What if someone steals them?"

"No means no!"

Li Mei panicked, her mind racing, and suddenly said:

"Tonight...I want to stay here tonight too!"

"Huh?" Chen Ergou and Zhou Caixia were both stunned.

Li Mei blushed, but still forced herself to say:

"This batch of melons is at a critical stage. Tonight, I need to monitor the nighttime humidity changes and record the data every hour, so I have to stay!"

She stared at Zhou Caixia, unyielding.

"Since Mr. Zhou insists on staying, let's all squeeze in! I'm doing this for work, so I don't mind the crowds!"

Looking at Li Mei's "ready to die" expression, Zhou Caixia suddenly burst out laughing.

She reached out and poked Li Mei's tense cheek with her finger:

"Fine, Meizi, you'd even come up with a reason like this just to keep an eye on me? Fine, let's squeeze in! Who's afraid of who?"

Zhou Caixia turned to look at Chen Ergou, who was bewildered yet secretly delighted, her eyes full of mockery:

"Ergou, did you hear that? Tonight, the three of us will... sleep together under the same blanket!"

Chen Ergou glanced at the small single bed, about 1.2 meters wide, in the makeshift house, then at the two hot women, and swallowed hard.

"Um... how about the three of us squeeze in?"

The temperature inside the greenhouse probably won't come down that night.
