The three-bladed emperor fish had a very good reputation. It was a rare opportunity.

The taste did not disappoint Qi Hang and Li Yizheng.

Among them, the meat on the dorsal fin was the most delicious. It was sweet and mellow. No fish they had ever eaten could compare to it.

One mouthful of meat could go with two mouthfuls of rice.

Soon, the two of them finished eating the whole fish. They still felt like they had not had enough.

Qi Hang also really wanted to eat another fish, but his stomach was already a little full. He could only look at the other fish and could not eat it even if he wanted to.

After sighing for a while, Li Yizheng yawned. He was sleepy, so he took his leave.

Qi Hang washed up and also went to bed.

The next day.

In the morning, Li Yizheng did not knock on the door to harass him. He was probably busy with something.

Qi Hang lay on the bed with his hands behind his head. As he looked at the brand new home decorations, an inexplicable feeling arose in his heart.

This was his home.

A warm feeling spread from the bottom of his heart. Other than the lack of a female owner, everything else was perfect.

“I won’t be affected by that dog, Li Yizheng, right?” He could not help but laugh. He shook his head and sat up.

The three-story house looked out of the window. Not only could they see more than half of the village, but they could also see the blue sea in the distance.

However, from the corner of his eye, he noticed the bare land in his yard.

He had not noticed it after weeding yesterday, but now it looked really ugly.

“Let’s go buy some seeds like flowers, plants, and vegetables.”

Qi Hang pondered. “Not only does it look good, it can also improve the taste of the food.”

He did as he thought. Qi Hang put on his clothes, washed up, and then set off to a nearby flower shop.

The name was very lively. It was called ‘Warm Sun Flower Shop’.

He pushed the door open and entered. He saw an unexpected person.

“Ran Yang?”

“Qi Hang?”

They looked at each other and their memories were brought back.

After a long while, Qi Hang revealed a warm smile. “Long time no see.”

“Long time no see, long time no see.” Ran Yang was obviously very happy. “Top student, why are you back? Are you tired of staying outside?”

“You can say that. Actually, it’s more or less the same everywhere. It’s still the same when I go back to the village.”

“In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. You’ve become so much fairer.”

Ran Yang said enviously. It was said that the boys on the island were sunnier and their skin was darker. In fact, were girls not the same?

It was just that they knew how to use skincare products to whiten themselves so that their skin did not look so rough and dry.

However, compared to the current Qi Hang, they were still far from it.

“I can be considered to have adapted to the local conditions. I’ll change wherever I go.” Qi Hang smiled. “I’ll be tanned again in two months.”

“You’re still so good at bullsh*tting.”

Ran Yang was amused by him. He recalled the immature memories from many years ago, “I still remember when we were in class, we sat in the last row. You pulled me to tell ghost stories every night during self-study. In the end, I passed all my exams. But you were lucky to get first place in the whole school.”

“Wasn’t it because I wanted to scare you awake when you fell asleep during self-study at that time?” Qi Hang spread his hands. “Who knew that even though you were awake, you still refused to read.”

Ran Yang punched him playfully. “Who told you to tell such a scary story? I didn’t even dare to go home alone at night. My mind was filled with those scary scenes. How could I have the mood to read?”

“That’s why you taught me that you can’t have it both ways. You can only choose between being awake and studying.”

“Bah! Then you choose to be awake or study!”

“Me? I’m different. I like both.”

“…”

Was this the reason why your grades were so good even though you told ghost stories every day?

Damn it, he had to pretend again.

However, Ran Yang, who had been Qi Hang’s deskmate for three years in junior high school, had long gotten used to his occasional Versailles moves.

After the two chatted for a while, Qi Hang told him the purpose of his trip.

“Old classmate, do you sell the seeds of vegetables and fruits here?”

“Do you want to plant them in your own yard?”

Ran Yang chuckled. “Then you’ve come to the right place. I just recently bought a batch of goods. Vegetables, fruits, and flowers are all available. How many do you want?”

Qi Hang estimated the size of his own yard. “Let’s have a few hundred seeds first. It’s better to have more than enough.”

After ran Yang heard this, he turned around and took out a box with a section and handed it to him. “Here, I’ve already marked out the seeds. If you don’t know how to grow them, you can ask me anytime.”

“How much?”

“How could I have the face to ask you for money?” Ran Yang smiled. “They’re all worthless little things. I’ll give them to you.”

Qi Hang wanted to return the favor. “Sure, I’ll send you a few fishes some other day.”

Ran Yang covered his mouth and snickered. “A top student is still fishing now?”

“Look at what you’re saying. When we get back to the island, we’ll definitely develop a skill, no?”

“That’s fine, but don’t send something too expensive. Otherwise, I won’t accept it.”

“Looking at how stingy you are, are you afraid that I’ll suffer a loss!?”

“It’s mainly because I have a big appetite. One or two fish won’t be enough to feed me.”

“…”

After getting the seeds, Qi Hang bid farewell to his old classmate and went home.

He divided the front yard into a flower area, specifically used to grow some ornamental flowers.

And the back yard was divided into a vegetable area and a fruit area, growing them separately.

“I wonder if the Heart of the Ocean can make them grow faster…”

He was eager to give this idea a try, but using the essence of the ocean to water these seeds was a little overkill.

After all, there were not many in stock, so it would take a long time for it to be produced by itself.

After thinking for a while, Qi Hang decided to dilute the essence of the ocean with water first, and then irrigate it with diluted liquid.

Then, he added about one-tenth of a milliliter of the essence of the ocean into a bucket of tap water, stirred it evenly, and then poured water on each seed.

For a moment, a faint light enveloped the entire courtyard, and a few areas that had been reclaimed were disturbed, as if something was about to break out of the ground.

In the end, when Qi Hang went to fetch water and returned, he was surprised to find that all the seeds that had been diluted with the essence of the ocean had grown to a certain extent.

Even some fruits that had a short growth period had already ripened!

The Heart of the Ocean had a very obvious effect on plants!

Qi Hang picked a fire dragon fruit and tore off its skin, revealing the juicy and delicious flesh inside.

After taking a bite, it was sweet and moist, very refreshing. It was much more delicious than most of the dragon fruits on the market.

“This is too comfortable.”

Qi Hang’s face was full of a satisfied smile.

At this moment, there was a knock on his courtyard door. Qi Hang turned around and saw that half of Fang Qing’s body was exposed, looking at him.
