Chapter 523: Chapter 210: Plant What You Want to Eat_1

"Aren’t you going back?" Yan Fei blurted out in surprise as they reached the entrance of the Law School and he saw the girl pulling him inside.

"Go back where? I am going back to my dormitory!" Turning her head back, she looked at Yan Fei, who remained stationary, in surprise as well.

"What I meant was, aren’t you going back to the house we rented? It’s so cold at night, you’re leaving me to live there alone?" Yan Fei’s face was a picture of grievance.

"Tut!" The girl disregarded his feigned distress. "Dream on. You lucked out once and now you want more? Go home and go to bed, no tricks. You don’t need to walk me to my dorm, just go!"

Yan Fei felt annoyed. That indeed was what he had hoped for! Seeing her ask him to leave, he wore an unhappy expression: "won’t you accompany me back home, and yet you won’t let me walk you?"

"Alright, alright. You may accompany me then!" She disregarded his displeasure and pulled him along to walk in. "Come on, hurry up! Last time we had our photos taken, we should go collect them now. You wait for me downstairs, I will go collect them from our dorm, then you can see how foolish you look! Ha ha..."

As he waited for the girl, Xu Xiaoyan, at the dormitory, after she fetched the photos, Yan Fei flipped through them. He was immediately disgruntled, "How am I foolish? Isn’t it a good picture? Look at this one, my smile is so natural..."

"Such a fool..." Seeing that he still remembered what she mentioned earlier at the school gate, she glanced at him in annoyance, "You are naturally a fool. I think the one without the pose is the best. The two posed ones aren’t as natural as this one. Oh right, this one was given for free, they didn’t charge us!"

"We only wanted two, he clicked more, I don’t feel grateful even if it’s free..." Yan Fei wore a discontent expression, as he was unhappy that Xu Xiaoyan did not agree to accompany him back.

However, even though he said he wasn’t grateful, he was quite pleased with that free photograph. Not because he didn’t spend money, but because the timing and the angle of the shot taken by the photographer was perfect.

They had only made two poses at the park: one with her on his back, and one where he was lifting her. The third photograph was taken unexpectedly after the two of them had finished posing and were watching two young men who had called them penniless, wrestling.

At that time, Yan Fei was smugly watching the girl smile while the girl was giggling, her fair hand covering her mouth and eyes sparkling, expression full of laughter. The four eyes met, both the angle and lighting were good, revealing the affection in both their eyes. Although the man did not look handsome, but was certainly rugged. The girl, on the other hand, was youthful and attractive, no wonder the photographer couldn’t resist taking an extra shot!

"Alright, alright, the photographer didn’t really want our money, so stop boasting. I have all these extra photos since I made duplicates. These all are yours; take them home and peruse at leisure!" The girl urged him while saying, "Tomorrow, I’ll return early. Let’s have dinner early and wait in front of the bank so we won’t miss getting the money."

Yan Fei nodded in agreement, let her return to her dormitory first, and then returned to the rented cottage, all dejected and alone.

Opening the door and then locking it from the inside, he directly stepped into the dinosaur world.

In his cliff cave-like ’study’ by the sea, he lit several candles, searched for quite a while, and found several frames that had previously hung on the walls of the paper factory. He chose one at random, disassembled it and carefully cleaned it inside out.

Inside was some sort of certificate that he carelessly threw to the side, replacing it with his three photographs. He then placed it on the table, joyfully admiring it at his whim...

After some time, he caught sight of the thrown certificate. Seeing it mention something about a ’county’s top youth’, he derisively muttered, "Destroying the environment and still being regarded as an outstanding youth. Is there a shortage of people in their county? It’s not like I need something like that..."

He started his search again, and soon found two crumpled certificates: one was for Righteous Act, issued by the county’s Public Security Bureau. Seeing this, he was reminded of his ’enemy’, Officer Wang. Come to think of it, Officer Wang was quite good to him. When he had first caught the three cattle thieves, apart from the reward, Officer Wang had also applied for a certificate for him.

On thinking this, he couldn’t help but mutter, "Uncle Baoguo, Oh Uncle Baoguo, you and I are family! I have done so many good deeds, but you didn’t once consider applying a reward for me!"

This guy had completely forgotten how he got his motorcycle! Could he comfortably ride it around without Uncle Baoguo having gotten it as a prize for him? It really does matter to be acknowledged when doing good deeds! Lin Baoguo had only omitted this one fact and now Yan Fei is still unaware of his helpful action!

There’s also the Wildlife Conservation Ethical Model Award, which was given to him as a gift by Ma Yongming, the father-in-law of the county Forestry Bureau director, to get him out of his hair.

He never cared about such things in the past, but now he was preparing to study hard, wasn’t he? When he saw these two certificates, he remembered hearing that there is a policy of extra points for the high school and college entrance exams. He was unsure if these certificates of his could add a few points, so it’s decided – he must go ask the school about it. Although he planned to primarily self-study and plagiarize occasionally, a few extra points would give him more assurance, wouldn’t they?

With this thought, the sight of these two certificates became very pleasant. He found two frames, threw out the certificates that were originally in them, and put his two certificates in a good spot, placing them next to his and his girl’s photos. He gazed at them with a dumb grin...

This pitiful kid had been in school for several years, only having seen the names of others on award certificates. In addition to the red flowers granted to everyone in preschool, he didn’t even receive all sorts of miscellaneous awards, such as those for recitation, skipping rope competitions, let alone awards for being a three-good student. His red scarf was ’given’ by the school just before graduation. His student life could be described as extremely bleak!

It’s a good thing the red scarves were given before the exam. If they waited until the three-point grade was out before giving out red scarves, the school might, out of resentment, let him be the only elementary school graduate who still didn’t have a red scarf...

After looking for a long time, he finally started to get busy with work. He took care of his vegetable garden, trimmed his rose bushes and planted a few more, and checked the growth of the willow branches he had planted.

Then he caught two Compsognathus to stew - it’s not that he was sentimental, but it had been a long time since he had eaten Compsognathus, and their population had surged. Many of the Compsognathus were half-grown already.

When these guys multiply, especially the newly grown ones, they may end up in his vegetable patch causing damage. They had to be cleared out once in a while.

Perhaps because the Compsognathus was the first dinosaur he ate and he had a special bond with it, or maybe because they forage near the sea all year round and have diverse diets, he always felt that these Compsognathus on the island, when stewed into soup, provided more nourishing benefits than other dinosaurs.

He didn’t drink the soup this time; he ate the meat and left the soup in the pot.

Then he went to see how his grass in the valley was growing and checked on the reproduction of the earthworms. He flew around the Gingko forest, where he had previously discovered a small black bird, until he found a small, circular valley. Only then did he go back satisfied and sleep.

The reason he was looking for a small valley is because he thought that since this place had snow, it should have a similar climate to Sancha River, and likely experience four distinct seasons. If so, he could then plant some fruit trees or other plants that he was familiar with.

For instance, he was fond of peaches and toon trees. As long as the weather in Sancha River starts to warm up in a few days and the climate here gradually becomes warmer, he could confirm that the climate here is the same as that in Sancha River. In that case, he could plant a variety of things, such as local jujube, pear trees, apricot trees and even scholar trees – the flowers of black locust trees could be eaten when they bloom, and the flowers of Chinese scholar trees could be soaked in tea.

There was plenty of land for growing anything he wanted. Given time, he could find a few more valleys and he would be self-sufficient in the future; just thinking about it made him feel fantastic.

When he was getting ready for bed, he checked on the Suchomimus family at the mouth of the large river. He wanted to check on the Kronosaurus family when he suddenly realized that the mother and her two babies were gone.

He looked around for a long time but didn’t see them. It wasn’t until he decided to stop looking that he found them downstream. It seemed like they were preparing to move downstream. Anyway, they were unrivaled beings in this large river, so they were free to move wherever they wished!

When he woke up from a wonderful dream, he quickly prepared breakfast.

He ladled out the soup he’d left on Vegetable Garden Island, and, along with the gluten and other ingredients his girl had prepared, he made himself a bowl of authentic Hot and Spicy Soup - the girl regretted not having made him some yesterday. So, since he made it with the ingredients she had prepared, it could be considered as if she had made it!
