My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

Lin Muyang walked into the greenhouse and carefully checked the germination of the pyrethrum seeds. A total of twenty plants were planted this time, and based on the previous success rate, at least half of them should activate the mosquito-repellent effect.

He touched the soil covering the soil to make sure it was still moist before he felt relieved.

He meticulously recorded the growth conditions and various environmental data for later verification.

Just as Lin Muyang was busy in the laboratory, a white Tesla stopped at the entrance of the research institute.

Zhang Wei's legs were weak when he got off the bus; he had tossed and turned all night and hadn't slept well.

Li Meng, on the other hand, was full of energy, with her hair in a bun, wearing white sneakers, and a big smile on her face. As soon as she got off the bus, she took Zhang Wei's arm.

Xiao Kui peeked out from the yard and asked warily, "Do you need something?"

Zhang Wei opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Li Meng spoke first: "We watched Ahao's live stream and wanted to try out that bitter orange thorn to test it out..."

She glanced at Zhang Wei: "Let's test if he's hiding something from me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei felt his legs go even weaker.

The live stream chat started to stir:

"Holy crap, this business has potential."

"The thorns of the bitter orange peel are more accurate than a lie detector."

"I suggest opening a stall and charging 100 per visit."

When Xiao Kui saw the comments, her eyes lit up immediately. A stall? That's great! It can both charge a fee and provide entertainment.

Lin Muyang carried the middle-finger guy out of the lab, intending to go to the fields to take a look. As soon as he stepped outside, he saw the couple at the door.

Xiao Kui immediately leaned over and whispered, "Brother, they want to use the bitter orange thorn to detect lies." She then glanced at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei's face turned pale instantly.

Lin Muyang looked at him curiously: "So brave?"

He thought that after what happened with Ah Hao, few people would come, but he didn't expect there would still be someone so stubborn.

Zhang Wei waved his hand and chuckled twice, "No, no." After saying that, he glanced at Li Meng next to him out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Muyang then realized that it wasn't voluntary.

The big orange cat had somehow slipped out of the yard and was squatting on the wall, still looking down at the crowd with disdain, its tail wagging incessantly.

The middle finger guy had already pointed his finger at Zhang Wei.

Lin Muyang pointed to a thorn on the wall covered with bitter orange peel: "If you poke this one, the thorn will be shorter and the prick will be a little shallower."

Li Meng took a deep breath: "Since it was my suggestion, I'll go first."

After saying that, she pressed her finger on it, and soon a drop of blood oozed from her fingertip.

She shook her hand in pain, then her eyes gradually reddened, and soon tears fell.

"I..." Her voice began to tremble, "I actually don't like his cooking... He always says it's delicious, but it's terribly salty..."

Last month he made braised pork ribs, and I secretly poured half a plate of it out. After pouring it out, I even rinsed it with water, afraid he would find out…”

She burst into tears: "I'm sorry... I shouldn't have lied to you..."

Zhang Wei's expression changed from tense to confused, and then from confused to relieved.

"this one?"

"That's it!" Li Meng looked up, her face streaked with tears. "You think this is small? I've been lying to you for three years!"

Zhang Wei squatted down and hugged her: "I'll put less salt in from now on. Don't cry."

Li Meng cried even harder this time, not because of the bitter orange thorn, but because of being moved.

She cried as she said, "And you put too much oil in the stir-fried vegetables too."

"understood."

"Your porridge always sticks to the bottom of the pot."

"Buy a rice cooker."

Li Meng burst into laughter through her tears and punched him lightly.

The comments section was filled with envy: "It's someone else's couple."

"Why is it a sweet drama after they've done their haircuts?"

"Because the bitter orange thorn only tells the truth, not lies."

"I'm sour, I'm all alone under the lemon tree."

Zhang Wei glanced at Lin Muyang: "Teacher Lin, may I begin the procedure?"

Lin Muyang looked at him and said, "I suggest you wait until she's sober before you do the injection. Otherwise, if you two end up crying your eyes out, no one will comfort you."

Zhang Wei nodded and obediently squatted down next to Li Meng to keep watch.

Soon after, Li Meng gradually regained consciousness.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei walked to the wall covered with bitter orange peel, stretched out his finger, hesitated for three seconds, and then withdrew it.

Li Meng watched from the side without saying a word.

Zhang Wei stretched out his finger again, then pulled it back in.

Li Meng finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Are you going to prick me or not? You're a grown man, what's there to be afraid of?"

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth: "I'll stab you!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and pressed his finger on it, but he pricked it off-center, and the thorn only grazed a little bit of skin.

The live chat was filled with comments like, "Hahahaha, bro, are you even capable?"

"The mental preparation took longer than actually taking the exam."

"The guy with the poker face: You're wasting my thorns."

Zhang Wei took a deep breath. This time, he aimed very accurately, and a drop of blood gushed out as soon as he pricked the skin.

Upon seeing this, Li Meng immediately showed an expectant expression.

Soon, the expression on his face began to crumble.

"I……"

His voice began to tremble, and his eyes reddened: "I secretly liked a post on my ex's WeChat Moments... just last week... she posted a selfie... I didn't mean to..."

It was a slip of the hand... I canceled it immediately... but she had already seen it...

Li Meng's eyes widened immediately. Good heavens, it's huge right off the bat.

"Not only did I accidentally drop it... but I also stared at it for several seconds... I feel like such a useless person..."

They broke up three years ago, and I still can't let go... Am I crazy...?

His eyes grew redder and redder, and he was about to cry. He truly felt like a failure.

"Anything else?" Li Meng's voice turned cold.

"I've saved a lot of suggestive videos on my secondary WeChat account..."

He sniffed, and the snot went in and then flowed out again.

"I don't dare let you see... Every time I watch it, I feel like such a failure... I'm thirty years old, and I'm still watching this kind of stuff... I'm just a piece of trash..."

Li Meng's face turned from white to red, then from red to purple. Her fists clenched again.

"several?"

"A dozen... a dozen or so..."

"A dozen or so?"

"Including Douyin, maybe... thirty or so..." Zhang Wei's voice grew softer and softer, until it was barely audible.

Before Li Meng could speak, Xiao Kui next to her couldn't help but exclaim, "Hahaha, I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter, another one who's so funny!"

The comments section was also very entertaining:

"Dude, why do you tell everyone everything?!"

"There's too much truth in this; it's just inventory clearance."

Li Meng: Thank you for telling me.

"枳壳刺: You're welcome."

Li Meng's fist was halfway raised when she forcefully pressed it down. She took a deep breath and slowly lowered her hand.

"Let's talk about it when we get home."

Zhang Wei looked up, tears still streaming down his face: "You're not going to hit me?"

Li Meng said, "I'll call it when I get home; there are too many people here."

Bullet comments:

"Go home and laugh it off."

Li Meng: We still have to give them face.

Zhang Wei: Can I not go home?

Zhang Wei was lying on the ground, still muttering to himself. Li Meng stood next to him, suppressing her anger while taking photos of the evidence with her phone.

Xiao Kui gloated at the camera: "Family members, did you see that? This is the real couple tester. If you dare, you can try it."

Bullet comments:

"Try what? To die?"

I advise you to be kinder.

"Just because you're single doesn't mean you can mess with other couples, right?"

"It is recommended that those who want to test it clear their phone's browsing history first."

Big Orange jumped down from the wall, walked to Zhang Wei's feet, sniffed his trouser leg, sneezed, and turned away in disgust.

The guy with the middle finger has been pointing his finger vertically in Zhang Wei's direction for a full twenty minutes.
