My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

Two thousand giant, smooth tomatoes sold out in three seconds.

Xiao Kui stared at the screen, her mouth agape in disbelief: "Sold out? It only took three seconds?"

Although she knew it would be popular, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

She refreshed the page to make sure she wasn't mistaken: "It really sold out! Two thousand units, and it only took three seconds! Your speed is incredible!"

The live chat exploded instantly:

"I didn't get one!"

"It disappeared as soon as I clicked submit!"

"The page didn't even load!"

Xiao Kui turned to look at Lin Muyang: "Brother, it sold out in just three seconds."

Lin Muyang replied expressionlessly, "Hmm."

Xiao Kui was already used to it; what she cared about was something else: "Will there be more in the future?"

Lin Muyang nodded: "There's a second batch."

The comments section erupted:

"The guy with the facial paralysis says there's a second batch!"

When will the second batch be available?

After considering it for a moment, Lin Muyang decided that the next batch would not use the induction solution, but would be bred directly. He had already kept dozens of tomatoes for breeding.

The improved tomatoes can be ready for market in just one month, from breeding to production.

He gave a deadline: "Four thousand orders in one month."

Xiao Kui immediately announced to the camera: "The second batch is expected to be available in a month. You can pre-order now. The shipping time is yet to be determined. This time, there are 4,000 orders."

She posted a pre-order link, offering free orders with priority notification once the product is ready.

The moment the link was put up, the number of reservations instantly jumped from one thousand to four thousand.

Xiao Kui stared at the screen, her voice changing: "Four thousand? That's it?"

"I've already made a reservation."

"I've made a reservation too."

"Waiting a month is fine too."

Liu Xudong also took out his phone and placed an order on the booking page.

Wu Tao looked at him: "Aren't you an insider?"

Liu Xudong: "I just wanted to experience what it's like to be an online friend."

Wu Tao: "Have you finished your experience?"

Looking at the "Booking Successful" message on his phone screen, Liu Xudong smiled contentedly: "The experience was great!"

Xiao Zhao also quietly ordered one, and Wu Tao looked at him again.

Xiao Zhao said, "I bought it for my mom. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters."

Wu Tao paused for a moment, then took out his phone from his pocket.

Liu Xudong leaned closer to look: "Captain, you've booked one too?"

Wu Tao said expressionlessly, "Buy one for my mom too."

Big Orange squatted on a pile of packed boxes, sneezed, and then looked around blankly.

It didn't remember what the boxes were, but it found them comfortable to sit in, so it didn't get down.

The middle finger guy is still standing on the windowsill, giving the middle finger to everyone.

That afternoon, more than a dozen people drove over, blocked the entrance to the courtyard, and held up their phones, shouting, "I want to buy tomatoes."

Wu Tao stood at the door, expressionless, and said, "No stock."

One of the women persisted, "I drove for two hours, and you're telling me there's no stock?"

Wu Tao: "No stock means no stock. You can drive for four hours and still not have any stock."

The eldest sister was so angry she stomped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.

Lin Muyang came out of the greenhouse with a spray bottle in his hand, glanced at the people at the door, and then turned around and went back inside.

Big Orange squatted on the wall, watching the people queuing at the door, sneezed, and then looked around blankly.

It didn't remember who these people were, but it found it very lively, so it stayed and kept watching.

The guy with the middle finger is standing on the windowsill, pointing his middle finger towards the door. He probably thinks the people in line are bothering him.

Xiao Kui held up her phone and went live, emphasizing to the camera once again: "Family members, the first batch of giant tomatoes has been completely sold out. Please don't come anymore; it's no use."

She saw someone in the live stream asking, "Can big tomatoes really make people happy?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I've tried it myself. It's the kind of happiness that makes you forget all your troubles."

Although it's not medicine, it tastes better than medicine.

The day after the goods were shipped, a special viewer joined Xiaokui's live stream.

Her voice was hoarse, as if she had been crying.

When Xiao Kui connected to the live stream, the chat was still full of laughter, but as soon as Sister Chen spoke, the entire live stream fell silent.

"Hi Xiaokui, I'm doing this live stream today just to talk to you about something, about your big tomato."

Xiao Kui put down the snacks in her hand and sat up straight: "Please go ahead."

Sister Chen took a deep breath, as if to encourage herself: "My daughter is sixteen years old this year and has been diagnosed with depression for almost two years."

She doesn't like to talk, doesn't like to go out, and locks herself in her room all day.

The curtains are always drawn, the lights are never on, and I haven't seen her smile in a long time.

Her voice began to tremble: "I managed to snag that big tomato. I bought it especially for her. She didn't want to eat it at first, but I begged her for ages before she finally ate a small piece."

The live stream was quiet; no one was sending comments, everyone was listening intently.

About ten minutes after she finished eating, she came out of the room.

Sister Chen paused, sniffed, and tried to suppress her excitement: "She said to me, 'Mom, the sun is shining so brightly today.'"

Xiao Kui's eyes also reddened.

Sister Chen continued, "She hasn't said anything like that to me in three years."

Then she sat on the balcony and basked in the sun for ten minutes. I could tell she was genuinely happy today; I hadn't seen her smile in three years.

Her voice finally broke down, trembling with tears: "Xiao Kui, thank you all, thank you for that tomato."

Barrage poured out overwhelmingly:

"I cried."

"Isn't this supposed to be a comedy live stream? How did it make me cry?"

"What kind of magical tomatoes did you grow, you expressionless guy?"

Xiao Kui rubbed her eyes, turned her head and called out towards the greenhouse, "Brother, come out for a second."

Lin Muyang walked out of the greenhouse, holding a watering can, his face expressionless: "What is it?"

Xiao Kui handed him her phone and pointed to the live chat interface.

After listening to Sister Chen's explanation, Lin Muyang remained silent for a few seconds: "Big tomatoes contain a special ingredient that can stimulate the cerebral cortex, allowing people to temporarily forget unhappy things."

It cannot replace professional medication; it can only provide temporary relief.

Sister Chen cried and said, "I know it's not treatment. But she smiled today. That's enough."

Xiao Kui asked Sister Chen, "How is your daughter doing now?"

Sister Chen said, "She's still sitting on the balcony. She's been sitting there for over an hour."

She used to stay in her room without ever drawing the curtains.

She opened the curtains herself today, and sunlight filled the whole room. I just brought her some water, and she smiled at me.

Sister Chen cried again, her sobs filled with hope: "I can't even remember the last time she smiled at me."

Xiao Kui started crying too, saying between sobs, "Sister Chen, please don't cry, your crying makes me want to cry too."

The comments section erupted in agreement:

"Xiao Kui, stop talking, I'm crying too."

"I laughed and cried while watching this live stream."

"Big tomatoes really can make people happy."

Sister Chen concluded by saying, "Today, during our live stream, I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for giving me hope to keep going."
