Chapter 127: Chapter 127: If You’ve Got the Guts, Don’t Run!

Yu Hai made a round through the mountains and came back holding a branch full of green leaves. As the leaves swayed, you could see little red and green fruits growing among them.

Yu Nuannuan only needed a glance to recognize the fruit’s name.

Figs!

Figs are delicious!

In her previous life, fresh figs were rare where Yu Nuannuan lived. Even if she occasionally saw them in the supermarket, they were always expensive.

She really liked eating figs and would buy fresh ones online. Expensive or not, she couldn’t let her taste buds suffer!

Dried figs were tasty too—chewy and very sweet.

It seemed Yu Hai had really put in the effort to look for them.

Right now was just the season when figs were ripening.

Yu Hai picked the purplish-red figs from the branch, gave one to Gu Mo, one to Xu Shuhua, and didn’t forget to remind Gu Mo, “Dumbo, peel the skin before you eat it! Want me to help you?”

Gu Mo shook his head. “I can do it myself!”

Gu Mo’s little fingers weren’t very nimble, but as long as he took his time, it wasn’t a problem.

Yu Nuannuan didn’t even need to lift a finger. Xu Shuhua took the fig, peeled off the skin, and brought it to Yu Nuannuan’s mouth. “Nuannuan, have a bite!”

Yu Nuannuan opened her mouth and took a bite, her eyes instantly curving into a smile.

So sweet!

After finishing the fig, Yu Nuannuan felt satisfied, but also a little puzzled.

Where are the fig seeds?

Just as she was thinking about it, Yu Hai held the branch out in front of her. “Nuannuan, come on, give it a touch!”

Yu Nuannuan: “……”

If this wasn’t her own dad, she’d really think he was a shady uncle trying to lure kids!

Although, this “shady uncle” was good-looking—any kid would be easily fooled.

Obediently, Yu Nuannuan reached out and pinched a leaf.

She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the moment she touched the leaf, she felt something surge inside her body, finally gathering at her fingertips.

But even after staring at her fingers for a long time, she couldn’t see anything different.

Instead, the branch she touched had undergone a dramatic change in just a short while.

The branch, originally only as long as Yu Hai’s arm, suddenly grew roots in the air and started to get bigger.

In no time, it turned from a branch into a sapling, and from a sapling into a fig tree laden with fruit.

The fig tree grew so fast it completely caught Yu Hai off guard. As the tree got bigger and heavier, he quickly set it down on the ground, picked up Gu Mo, and moved aside.

By the time Yu Nuannuan snapped out of it and withdrew her hand, the fig tree was already two or three heads taller than Yu Hai.

Its branches were lush, the trunk thick—probably as thick as Yu Hai’s thigh.

The branches were covered in purplish-red figs, each as big as Yu Nuannuan’s fist, making her mouth water just looking at them.

She really wanted to eat them!

Xu Shuhua stared speechlessly at the tree, then turned to Yu Hai, who was walking back, and let loose.

“What’s wrong with you? If you’ve got the guts to make Nuannuan do this, then don’t run away! Now look what’s happened—what are we supposed to do?”

The fig tree had grown so fast its roots were already deep in the ground, though the trunk was a bit crooked.

But now, anyone looking would think this fig tree had always been here.

Luckily, this area was remote and it was dinnertime, so there weren’t many people outside. Otherwise, if the villagers had seen a tree suddenly appear out of nowhere, who knows how badly they’d be scared."
