The crybaby nanny was bullied and cried again by her yandere husband.

Shang Yu leaned against the window, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the windowsill.

"You've really gotten sunburned, and we'll have to find someone to take you to the hospital. What a hassle."

What was meant to be a word of concern came out of his mouth with a completely different tone, full of disdain.

Lin Zhao felt a warmth in his heart. He couldn't understand the harshness in Shang Yu's words at all. He just thought that his teacher was concerned about him, so he nodded obediently and responded in a soft voice.

"I understand, sir. I'll be done in a minute, and then I'll go to a shady spot."

As he spoke, he deliberately curved his eyebrows at Shang Yu on the second floor, revealing a slight dimple when he smiled, clean and bright.

Looking at his silly yet obedient appearance, Shang Yu felt the restlessness that had just been suppressed in his heart begin to rise again, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

He looked away, no longer glancing at the boy downstairs who had thrown him into disarray, and his tone turned colder.

"You have ten minutes. Finish and come inside immediately. If you stay out in the sun any longer, I'll tear your vegetable garden down."

As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Lin Zhao's response, she closed the window, shutting out the figure that was making her uneasy.

Even though his back was to the window, the tips of his ears were subtly tinged with a light red.

Lin Zhao looked at the window that had been suddenly closed, and surprisingly, she felt somewhat used to it.

Thankfully, he's not married. Anyone who likes him would be in real trouble.

He recalled some videos he had come across where bloggers imitated "drama queens," and he thought his husband was a bit like that, always getting angry for no reason.

And when they speak, they like to say only half, leave half unsaid, or talk nonsense, leaving people to guess.

No talking, no talking, let's get to work!

Lin Zhao covered the work with the last handful of soil, wiped the sweat from his brow, and watered it again. That was it.

He took out his phone, took a few pictures of his little vegetable garden, then turned on the beauty filter, selected a cute effect, and took a selfie.

I made a nine-grid photo and posted it on my WeChat Moments.

I checked the time; it was almost four o'clock. I'll take a shower in a bit, and then I can start making dinner.

He dusted himself off, picked up his little hoe, and went back to the hut.

Unbeknownst to them, the figure had never actually left even after the window in the second-floor study was closed.

Lin Zhao took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and rushed to the lobby.

Uncle Li and Shen Ci are both out; they're not home.

He had just entered the kitchen when the doorbell rang.

Lin Zhao rushed to open the door and received a styrofoam package. As she walked back, she muttered to herself.

"Who bought this?"

Lin Zhao carried the heavy box into the house, wondering whether he should open it to take a look.

Shang Yu came downstairs at some point, his gray bathrobe making his figure appear even more upright, and the exposed chest vaguely revealed his impressive muscle lines.

Lin Zhao was stunned. He had always envied men with muscles, but no matter how much he ate, he couldn't gain weight and couldn't build any muscle at all.

Shang Yu felt a little uncomfortable under his direct gaze, her ears turning red. She reached up to adjust her collar and coughed lightly.

"Hey, what are you standing there for? Why aren't you tearing it down?"

Lin Zhao snapped out of her daze and obediently responded.

"Oh? Okay."

He squatted down, placed the box on the ground, went to the kitchen to get scissors, and carefully cut the tape.

Inside, there was a thick layer of insulating paper and several ice packs. Lifting the lid revealed a box full of plump white peaches, pink and round, still smelling of fresh dew. They looked quite expensive.

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked up at Shang Yu, her dimples appearing shallow.

"Sir, these peaches are so beautiful."

Shang Yu looked down at his sparkling appearance, her heart softened for a moment, but her expression remained unchanged, and her tone was indifferent.

"Yeah, it's company benefits, don't overthink it."

Actually, he had just been standing by the window, watching Lin Zhao working under the sun, her nose even turning red from the sun, and on a whim, he asked his assistant to order the freshest peaches.

Lin Zhao didn't think too much about it. He just didn't know what Mr.'s company did or why it had so many strange benefits, but he liked it!

Lin Zhao smiled, her eyes crinkling as she held the peach.

"Thank you, sir! Shall I go wash a few?"

"Um."

Shang Yu nodded, and Lin Zhao, carrying Taozi, ran briskly into the kitchen. Today he was wearing a monkey apron, which suited him quite well.

A short while later, Lin Zhao came out carrying a plate of washed and sliced ​​peaches.

Shang Yu was sitting in the living room, listlessly watching the news.

Lin Zhao handed the peach to Shang Yu, her voice soft and gentle.

"Sir, you should eat first. It's especially fresh."

Shang Yu took it, his fingertips inadvertently brushing against the boy's warm fingertips. His heart skipped a beat, but he calmly withdrew his hand, sat on the sofa, and slowly used a small fork to put the food in his mouth.

Lin Zhao held another uncut peach and took small bites, the juice bursting in her mouth, making her eyes squint with sweetness, looking satisfied and happy.

Seeing how much he enjoyed eating, Shang Yu, who didn't usually like fruit, ate several more pieces.

Just then, a sound came from outside the door; it was Uncle Li and Shen Ci returning.

Lin Zhao had just finished eating one peach, dried her hands, and ran over with two peaches in her hands.

"Uncle Li, Xiao Ci, try this! I've washed it all and just took it out of the refrigerator. It'll help you cool off in the summer."

Uncle Li took it and took a big bite.

"Mmm, these peaches are so sweet! Where did Xiao Zhao buy them?"

Shen Ci smiled and nodded in appreciation.

Lin Zhao shook her head shyly.

"I didn't buy it; it was a company benefit, and my husband had it delivered."

Uncle Li was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled knowingly, without asking anything, only remarking with emotion.

"No wonder it tastes so good. It's hard to find such fresh, premium white peaches on the market. You're very thoughtful, sir."

Shen Ci glanced lightly at Shang Yu, who was sitting upright on the sofa in the living room, and took out his other clean hand to type.

[It's really sweet, refreshing and cooling, thank you Xiao Zhao for saving it.]

Lin Zhao didn't catch the subtle hints in their words at all; he just waved his hand happily, his eyes crinkling with laughter.

"It's not hard work at all. The gentleman thought it would be nice to eat in this hot weather, so he specially shared it with everyone. It's more lively when everyone eats together."

Shang Yu was leisurely eating a peach in the living room, seemingly watching the news intently, but in reality, he was constantly listening to what was happening outside.

Hearing Lin Zhao laugh heartily, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up as well.

After finishing the peaches, Uncle Li cleaned up the peels and then, quite perceptively, offered his advice.

"Xiao Zhao, it's time for you to start cooking. Xiao Ci and I are going to tidy up the garden. Call us if you need anything."

Lin Zhao nodded, and Uncle Li led Shen Ci to the garden.

As the sun sets, the vegetable patch that has been carved out in the garden stands out particularly.

Uncle Li glanced at the wooden fence he had just bought in the corner and understood.

I originally thought they were going to reinforce the flower beds, but now it seems they're going to reinforce the vegetable gardens instead.

Shen Ci hesitated for a long time before finally typing out a line of text.

Uncle Li, what do you think the gentleman meant?
