Chapter 280 Musen
"What are you talking about? Your brother's zodiac sign is a tortoise, so what's yours? You have no respect for your elders!"
Anil gently tapped Caslant's head, his face full of affection and helplessness as he spoke.
"Ouch...ouch...Second Brother~" Caslant complained to Anil, looking indignant. It was true, it was still late, and they hadn't even seen the stall owner yet.
Her second brother's pace was so slow, it was driving her crazy with worry.
"Still not convinced? Sigh! I brought someone here to have fun, but my good intentions didn't go well, and I got rejected by them."
Anil spoke with a sorrowful expression, his eyes glancing at his sister every now and then. If Caslant knew about the green tea...
She'll definitely be impressed by her second brother's manipulative behavior and have to say he's quite the tease!
Unfortunately, she didn't know the word, but that didn't stop her from being speechless. However, she still needed her second brother to bring her to the black market tomorrow, so she couldn't afford to offend him.
So, with a fawning expression, she pledged her loyalty to her second brother, saying that his sister was wrong and how could he criticize her? She claimed that any problems were her fault, and so on.
But those two siblings know each other perfectly well; they're the kind of people who can tell what kind of poop someone is going to take just by sticking their butt out.
Knowing his sister's situation, he was helpless. What could he do but spoil her?
He stopped dwelling on the past, and in fact, he didn't take his sister's anger towards him to heart.
Attention was drawn to the bag in her hand.
"Is this what you've been looking for all this time, saying it smells really good?"
"Ok!"
Caslant held the bag up in front of Anil and waved it.
"These are for eating!"
"food?"
Hearing his sister's answer, Anil exclaimed in surprise. It's understandable why he was surprised; their family now basically ate only natural fruits and vegetables at every meal, and didn't need nutritional supplements anymore.
In his mind, the only food with a fragrance was the fruit of those mutated plants.
Yes, it's common knowledge in their circle that the fruits of mutated plants are edible.
Furthermore, the fruits of these mutated plants contain energy; consuming them can enhance their strength or cure some of their ailments.
Hunting and buying mutated plant fruits is not uncommon in their circle; some of them are even quite strong.
They became mercenaries specializing in harvesting the fruits of mutated plants from forests of mutated plants.
We'd be rich if we could get our hands on just one.
"Someone's selling mutated plant fruits here?" Maybe they're just some greenhorn recruits? What a waste!
Normally, fruits from mutated plants are sold at auction houses to fetch their true value. What price can they fetch here?
No wonder his sister was blaming him; selling mutated plant fruits here is practically giving them away for free.
Kaslant shook her head when Anil asked her question; her second brother had misunderstood.
"They're not mutated plant fruits, but rather the same unmutated vegetables and fruits, the four kinds we commonly see. However, their aroma is even more pleasant than the aroma of any mutated plant fruits I've ever eaten."
As he spoke, Kaslant took out one of the sweet potatoes and took a deep breath of it.
After Anil retrieved the sweet potatoes from Caslant, he probably smelled their unique sweet potato aroma because he was nearby.
Anil suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, and his face, which had been beaming with a gentle smile, turned serious.
"Little sister, put the sweet potatoes away. Let's hurry back. We can talk about everything else when we get back."
Caslant didn't ask what was wrong with her second brother. Instead, she obediently put the sweet potatoes into the bag and hurriedly followed her brother home.
On the other side, Mu Sen, who had been the first to buy fruits and vegetables from Xie Yiren and He Junlin's stall, walked dejectedly up the stairs to his home.
He couldn't buy the item again. They clearly said it would be in stock today! But when he went there, they said it was out of stock. What could he do?
He arrived at a doorway, stood in front of it, composed himself, and wiped his face.
He smiled, opened the door, and called out into the room.
"Honey, I'm home!"
"Cough cough cough~ My husband's home~" A weak coughing reply came from one of the inner rooms.
"Hmm! I brought you something good today, guess what it is?"
As Mu Sen spoke, he walked into the inner room.
Turning on the lights, the warm, soft yellow light illuminated the room, which was decorated in a cozy and inviting style, reflecting the homeowner's love of life.
A beautiful, gentle-looking woman lay on the bed, her face pale and bloodless, coughing occasionally.
She looked at her husband as he came in carrying things and smiled gently.
"Ah~ what good stuff is it? I can't guess!"
She pretended to look annoyed as she spoke, then said in a coquettish tone.
"Honey, tell me! What's this amazing thing? I'm so curious!"
He looked at Mu Sen's hand, his face full of anticipation.
"Ta-da! It's strawberries! I'm telling you, I had a hard time buying these today. They're completely different from what we've had before. Let me tell you..."
As Mu Sen spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, and he became increasingly choked up.
"I'm sorry, honey, I still couldn't buy it! They promised it would be in stock today! But it still isn't..."
As he spoke, a tall man, about two meters tall, covered his face and began to cry, his voice filled with despair and helplessness.
"It's alright, Brother Musen. Everyone has their own destiny. If this is my fate, I accept it. Don't cry for me."
The pale-faced woman gently hugged Mu Sen, patted his back, and comforted him.
Then she mustered her strength and said...
"Brother Sen, the strawberries you mentioned earlier were a little different from usual. Were they tastier? Hmm~ I really want to eat strawberries!"
"I'll wash it for you and cook it for you."
Upon hearing the woman's words, Musen disregarded his grief and hurriedly went to the washroom to wash the strawberries.
It was handed to the woman.
"Have some, try it. I smelled it when I bought it, and it smells much better than the strawberries we used to buy. See if you like it. If you do, I'll go buy you more."
"I won't give up there either. Meilin, you hang in there too. I will definitely buy back the equipment to treat the gene collapse as soon as possible. I don't believe in fate!"
Mu Sen spoke with deep resentment. His wife was such a beautiful woman, so young, why was fate so unfair, causing her genes to collapse during a mission?
"Yes! I believe your husband~" the woman said to Mu Sen with complete trust.
As he spoke, he put the strawberry that Musen had bought into his mouth and took a bite.
One bite, and the burst of strawberry juice exploded in her mouth.
"Mmm! It's delicious! Honey, you should try some too!"
As she spoke, the girl held the strawberry she had bitten open to Mu Sen's mouth, gesturing for him to have a bite as well.
Musen shook his head.
"If you like it, eat more. I don't really like sweet and sour things."
He then pushed the strawberry towards the woman, urging her to finish it.
"Delicious food should be shared. What's the point of enjoying it all by yourself? This is really delicious—it tastes like happiness. Honey, you should try some too!"
The woman then stubbornly placed the strawberry near Musen's mouth, and Musen reluctantly took a bite.
"Mmm~ I ate some too, you ate the rest, be a good girl~"
Musen took a bite, and it was indeed as his wife had said—a rich strawberry flavor, with the fruit leaning towards sweetness. One bite gave him a feeling of happiness and satisfaction.
Musen wanted his wife to experience this wonderful feeling, so he refused to eat any more.
The woman stopped pressuring Musen. She ate the two strawberries to her heart's content, though she felt the portion was a bit too small...
