Chapter Seventy-One Farewell

  Li Luyu, Ma De Li, Liu Ziyue, Qin Nan and Sun Yangqing gathered outside the botanical garden.

  This botanical garden was donated by an alumnus to the National University of Kaohsiung, which does not have a department of horticulture or botany. The original intention of building this garden was to create a scenic view, but because it contains many rare and valuable flowers that require special care, the annual maintenance cost is very high, so it is usually not open to the public.

  Five people looked in like ordinary spectators, separated by a high iron fence, with a dense and unclimbable iron mesh inside, surrounded by a moat, where big red goldfish swam, and behind that was a fully transparent organic glass greenhouse, and behind that were various rare and precious flowers, blooming with colorful flowers, breathtakingly beautiful.

  "Our school is still so backward. If it were a university abroad, they would definitely open up such a place, how nice it would look." Ma De Li said with admiration for foreign things.

  "It's impossible abroad either. Those middle-class Americans love to plant grass outside their houses, and the good ones are ridiculously expensive. They even steal the grass." Li Luyu didn't think so.

  "We're also here to steal." Liu Ziyue laughed.

  "You're smiling foolishly, without any sense of guilt for being a thief." Qin Nan patted Liu Ziyue's head.

  Sun Yaqing pointed to a large tree nearby, "Isn't that a Rambutan tree? Is this thing rare too? I saw a whole bunch of them in the countryside of Guangdong and Fujian."

  "According to the introduction, the Golden Pineapple Guava... doesn't taste very good, but the fruit that grows out is entirely golden and round, extremely ornamental, and the tree species is highly valued. There's only one of these trees in the country!" Madrid said.

  "We didn't come here to steal sugarcane, Li Ruyu, what are you doing with a few bamboo sticks?" Sun Yanqing said.

  "Let's go." Li Luoyu said simply, then led a few people out of the botanical garden to the management office.

  It's just lunch break, and there is only one person on duty in the office. In order to manage this botanical garden, Guofu University has specially hired a graduate student of botany to return, nominally for plant research, but in fact, this botanical garden is still taken care of by a senior florist expert hired by that alumnus, who comes once a week. Usually, the graduate student just takes a look at the flowers and grasses, and others do the weeding and soil loosening work.

  This graduate student was particularly idle, spending all day on the university's self-built CF battle network, and Li knew several people.

  "Zeng Yin, come on and have a one-on-one match with me today!" Sun Yangqing shouted loudly as he rushed in.

  "Are you looking for trouble again?" The graduate student's name was Zeng Yin, small and thin. Seeing a group of people coming in, he got somewhat excited, as he was so bored here that he wanted to play pranks.

  "Who's bullying who is still unknown!" Sun Yangqing casually turned on the computer prepared for that expert.

  "Old rules, whoever loses goes fishing in the ditch..." Liu Ziyue was particularly excited.

  Zeng Yun hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's not play this disgusting game anymore."

  "Are you scared?" Sun Yangqing urged him.

  Zeng Yin naturally didn't fear it and accepted it.

  Several others joined in, cheering and excitedly starting to watch.

  Chose a good map, first to twenty kills wins. Today Sun Yangqing was in great shape, and Zeng Yin fell behind by twelve kills in no time. At the last moment, he held on for a long time, catching up with five consecutive kills, but just as he was getting excited, he accidentally got blown up by a grenade.

  "You're not allowed to follow!" Zeng Yin lost, feeling a bit resentful, but some things still had to be done.

  "No way! Last time you shouted for people to gather around, this time you're not allowed to follow? Let's go together!" Sun Yangqing shouted loudly.

  Zeng Yin reluctantly took the key from his waist, opened the gate of the botanical garden, walked to the ditch, took off his pants, and then supported himself with both hands and feet on both sides, lowering his waist.

  A group of people burst out laughing, Zeng Yin gritted his teeth, and he must have been humiliated for a while. However, in his heart, he didn't feel ridiculed because among this group of people, except for Li Luyu, everyone had gone fishing before, so it was just a joke between brothers.

  "Has anyone ever caught anything?" Li Luyu asked in puzzlement.

  "How is it possible? It's not really an earthworm, but once Liu Ziyue said that a fish bit him." Madrid burst out laughing.

  In just a minute's time, Zeng Yin stood up and pointed at Sun Yangqing, "Next, it'll be your turn soon!"

  A few people rushed out together and continued playing this low-stakes fun game.

  Taking advantage of Zeng Yin's desire for revenge and hatred without noticing, Li Rouyou stayed in the botanical garden.

  Apart from the large iron gate, the glass house in the botanical garden was not locked again. Li Luoyu broke in and smelled the fragrance of flowers that filled the air, giving people a refreshing feeling in the clean and pure air.

  Li Luoyu walked directly to that vine of Baodi, which is the raw material for many handmade masters and precious handicrafts. It is said that in the Forbidden City, there is a imperial-made recliner made entirely of Baodi vines, with the effect of warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and can also refresh one's eyes and mind, it is a treasure from the Qianlong period, worth a city.

  The Baizong vine is extremely rare, and that was also during the Qianlong period. Now, some varieties are still the most expensive in their place of origin, but as long as there is business potential, hardworking and capable Chinese people will always make any precious renewable raw material cheap. Since the Baizong vine has been widely cultivated, the price of Baizong products on the market has been declining steadily.

  Li Luoyu simply picked up some trimmed vines that had fallen to the ground, and in a short while, she had gathered a large bundle, which she wrapped around her waist.

  Sun Yangqing and Zeng Yin had not finished their new round, Li Luyou took the opportunity to visit the plants in the botanical garden, smelling the strange smell of various fragrances mixed together in the air, and found the golden pineapple tree in a daze.

  The golden pummelo tree and the lychee tree in front of Li Luoyue's house are much shorter, and their ability to produce pummelos is also much worse. However, as an ornamental tree, there is only one pummelo hanging on it, which has not been picked by anyone.

  The golden pineapple is really beautiful, with a shiny golden color, like the glittering gold, hanging in a place where Li Rouyu can reach out and touch.

  Seeing that color, Li Luyu couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

  The fruit suddenly fell to the ground, and Li Luyu was startled. There is only one golden pineapple tree in all of China, and he couldn't have caused trouble for himself, could he?

  What to do? Destroy the evidence and eat it? Or bury it? No, that won't work. Zeng Yin comes every day to take a look, if such a big pineapple fruit suddenly disappears, he will definitely be suspicious.

  It's just going to be lost here anyway. When the fruit is ripe, it will fall off by itself, and Li Luyu thinks he has thought too much.

  Looking at the pineapple fruit again, I feel that it emits a tempting fragrance, somewhat like the milky scent on Annan Xiu's body, making people want to eat it.

  Li Rouyou couldn't help but reach out and take one, wanting to see what was different about the golden papaya's fruit compared to their own family's.

  The cool metal pressed against Li Luyu's forehead, this wasn't the first time he had felt this way, and he also smelled that kind of mature woman's especially tempting body scent, having smelled it once at close range, he wouldn't forget it for a while.

  "Don't touch it."

  Li Rouyu honestly raised his hands and, without waiting for others to speak, walked to the wall with his hands clasped behind his head: "I just came to take a few rattans, no need to catch me, right?"

  "You're quite self-aware, aren't you? Don't worry, I was just joking."

  The pistol left Li Luyu's head, and Li Luyu turned around to see that it was indeed the woman. She wasn't wearing butterfly glasses, but rather relatively ordinary gold-rimmed glasses. Her fox-like chin, the black mole at the corner of her mouth, and her icy, flirtatious eyes all made a strong impression on Li Luyu. He had never seen such a large bust before, which was matched only by Li Banyu's slender waist. She also had full hips and thighs, and her tall stature was accentuated by high heels, giving off an intimidating aura.

  Li Luyu always thought that her high bun could be swung back and forth, using her hair as a whip-like weapon.

  What was staring at Li Rouyu's head wasn't a gun, but the golden ring on her finger, a stunningly beautiful woman with an ethereal and noble aura, yet wearing a square-shaped, flashy gold ring that nouveau riche old men love.

  Li Luoyu sized her up, feeling a bit excited, and then realized, Ah, it's someone from the Dragon Group.

  "Are you looking forward to seeing me again?" The woman's mouth curled up into a smile as she looked at Li Luyu carefully.

  "Not... me... I want to know, are you from some special department?" If it were someone else, Li Rouyu wouldn't have asked so many questions, but this woman didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, and he still remembered that she said she would come find him again last time, he didn't know if this was a coincidence or if she had come looking for him.

  The woman nodded.

  "The first time we met, it felt a bit unreal, like something out of TV. Li Luoyu smiled, the process of their first meeting wasn't great, but the second time, in this fragrant environment, among the beautiful flowers, there was such a stunning woman, so elegant and lovely, truly delightful to behold, making it hard for anyone to feel bad."

  Of course, on the premise that there is no gun pointing at one's own head.

  "You'll get used to it later." The woman said with some implication.

  Li Luoyu didn't understand and thought for a moment before asking again: "Do you still remember the last time you said you'd come find me again, right?"

  "Yes." The woman didn't speak much and didn't intend to say more. She always answered briefly and that was it, as if she was used to doing so.

  "Why?" Li Luyu had always had some misgivings in his heart. What did people from the country's special department want with him?

  The woman suddenly turned her head, and Li Luoyu's thoughts from just now were immediately realized. Her long hair was swung into a whip-like shape in the air, wrapping around Li Luoyu's neck. With a slight tilt of her head, she pulled him over, and the two people were close at hand.

  The woman bit her lip, her eyes slowly moving to measure Li Luyu's facial features, with some inexplicable complex emotions in her expression.

  "Li Road..."

  The woman's breath was not as ambiguous and seductive as her appearance, but rather very light, like the morning breeze blowing over the grass.

  How did she know her own name? Come to think of it, people from special departments must be all-knowing.

  The woman was about to speak when a commotion broke out outside. Sun Yangqing and Zeng Yin had finished their fight, and this time Sun Yangqing had lost. Zeng Yin led the crowd in loud laughter.

  Li Rouyu turned her head, and the soft hair left Li Rouyu's neck. The woman quickly turned around and left the glass house, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she flashed out of sight and left.

  Li Luyu also took the opportunity to run out, chasing her to the door, and saw from a distance that the woman got into a red Chevrolet Cruze. This kind of car is common on every street, before Li Luyu could catch up, the bright color had already disappeared into the dust.

  Li Luyu felt that this woman had something to say to herself, why did she leave in a hurry again? Was it just afraid of being discovered by others? Then she should come back to find her own sooner or later.
