My abstract plant was exposed by my sister.

Liu Xudong was carried back to his dormitory. Lin Muyang asked Xiao Kui to remind everyone in large print during the live stream: After receiving the goods, each consumption should not exceed 500g.

If you can't finish it all at once, you can make it into tomato sauce and freeze it.

The day after the second batch of Happy Tomatoes sold out, everyone at the research institute was busy in the warehouse.

Wu Tao led one group of people to pack the packages, while Liu Xudong led another group to affix the shipping labels.

He posted a picture and read out an address:

"Zhang Wei, Shudu Garden... Li Meng, same address... Did these two buy two portions?"

Xiao Kui leaned over for a look: "I remember them, they're the couple who came to pick bitter oranges last time."

Liu Xudong remembered that he had also been pricked by the bitter orange peel, so he stopped talking and silently transformed into a ruthless label-sticking machine.

In Xiao Kui's live stream, the chat was still buzzing:

"Liu recalled the moment he was stabbed and felt utterly mortified."

Liu Cixin: Dead memories are attacking me.

"I envy those who managed to snag one."

When the package was delivered to their home, Li Wei was working overtime at the company.

Li Meng picked up the package and then sent Zhang Wei a message: "Happy Tomatoes arrived, when are you getting off work?"

Zhang Wei saw the message and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen: "There's still an hour left, you eat first."

Li Meng replied instantly: "I'll wait for you, let's eat together."

Zhang Wei smiled knowingly and quickened his pace.

When he got home, Li Meng had already washed the tomatoes, put one in the refrigerator, and cut the other into several pieces.

Next to it was an electronic scale with a tray, a juicer, and silicone grids for freezing ice cubes.

When she saw Zhang Wei return, she immediately picked up a fruit knife and cut the tomato in half.

Instantly, a sweet, fruity tomato aroma filled the room.

Li Meng picked up the weighed tomatoes one by one and handed them to Zhang Wei, then picked up a piece for herself and took a bite.

Her eyes narrowed as she savored the taste. Suddenly, an indescribable joy welled up from the depths of her heart, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious! I feel so happy today!"

Zhang Wei's face was also beaming with happiness: "Yes, it's been a long time since I've felt this happy."

At this moment, the two young people, far from their homeland and working hard in other places, temporarily forgot about the troubles of work and the unpleasant trivialities of life.

Only simple happiness and joy.

Meanwhile, after receiving the tomatoes, Sister Chen immediately cut off 500g as Lin Muyang had instructed, then made the rest into jam and froze it.

She held the tomato, gently knocked twice on Xiaoyue's door, and then pushed the door open and went inside.

The curtains in the room remained closed, making it extremely dark.

"Xiaoyue, these are the Happy Tomatoes from last time. I bought some more today. Try them."

Upon hearing her words, Xiaoyue's previously dim eyes immediately brightened.

She picked up a tomato, took a bite, and her eyes gradually brightened.

When she finished eating all the remaining tomatoes on the plate, her previously empty eyes gradually brightened, no longer appearing dull and lifeless.

This time, she finally mustered up her courage: "Mom, I want to go downstairs for a walk."

Upon hearing this, Sister Chen burst into tears of joy. She tried her best to suppress her excitement and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, Mom will go with you."

Xiaoyue wore a white dress and her hair was simply tied in a ponytail.

Her skin had a sickly paleness from spending so much time in the dimly lit room.

The two walked in the community garden for ten minutes. Xiaoyue's face was filled with a long-lost smile, as if she had rediscovered the whole world.

After returning home, Sister Chen sent a private message to Xiao Kui, telling her about what happened that day and expressing her gratitude.

As Xiao Kui read on, her eyes welled up with tears again.

The screen was flooded with comments:

"Keep it up, Xiaoyue!"

"Happy tomatoes really make people happy."

"It's a good thing that she's starting to try to reintegrate into the world."

Sister Chen posted another photo: Xiaoyue was squatting by the flower bed, her fingers gently touching a rose.

The sunlight shone on her face, carrying a faint smile.

Xiao Kui quickly waved the photo in front of the camera, not lingering for long.

"Family members, I won't exaggerate it, but she really has regained her vitality, which means everything is moving in a positive direction."

After Xiao Kui took the pyrethrum to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences for detailed testing and confirmed that the appropriate dosage would not cause any harm to the human body, expanding the planting scale became the primary issue.

Lin Muyang expanded the number of pyrethrum plants in the greenhouse to two hundred, arranging them neatly in three rows.

Each pot can produce about 30 flowers during the initial flowering period, so 200 pots can produce 6,000 flowers.

Each sachet contains two flowers, and can make three thousand sachets.

To make the sachets, Xiao Kui searched for many instructional videos online and consulted her fans. She chose to use a double layer of gauze and cotton cloth.

The inner layer uses cotton gauze to hold the floral pattern, while the outer layer is made of cotton cloth, preventing leakage and ensuring even fragrance release.

The cotton fabric also features the logo of the Mukui Research Institute and the exclusive name "Buddhist-style Sachet".

She picked up a few dried flowers, put them into a small, pre-woven bag, sealed it, and attached the instructions: Place it by your pillow. Keep it no more than one meter away. Do not use during the day.

Liu Xudong leaned closer and asked curiously, "Why can't we use it during the day?"

Lin Muyang: "Using it during the day makes me not want to work."

Liu Xudong thought for a moment and said, "Could you give me one? I'll use it during my lunch break."

Lin Muyang: "Do you want to sleep from noon until night?"

Liu Xudong was astonished: "Just two flowers, and the effect is this amazing?"

Lin Muyang nodded and glanced at the big orange cat beside him.

Big Orange was already nodding with its eyes half-closed, and almost fell off its chair.

The guy on the balcony was still pointing his middle finger, but he looked listless and weak.

Liu Xudong immediately changed his mind: "I don't want it anymore, I feel like I won't need it."

To test the Buddhist-style sachet, Xiaokui conducted a live stream.

She placed the sachet directly on the table in front of her, and then felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and slowly closed her eyes.

Half a million people were watching her sleep in the live stream.

The live chat was still very lively:

"The most boring live stream ever, but I don't want to leave."

"Xiao Kui is sleeping so soundly."

"This sachet is incredibly effective."

"I have anxiety, and I really want this."

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Kui was woken up by her alarm clock and groggily said to the camera:

"Family members... I dreamt I was doing a live stream... and it actually happened..."

Comment: "I dreamt I was live streaming, and when I woke up I was still live streaming. Xiao Kui's life has no end."

She rubbed her eyes and said, "It really works! Even though I only slept for twenty minutes, it felt like I slept all night."

She had promised her fans that she would be giving away the remaining sachets tomorrow, so she went offline to make the rest.

A large patch of dark clouds gradually drifted in from outside the window, covering the entire sky.

That evening, large raindrops pounded on the ground, bringing a touch of coolness to the scorching earth.

In the corner where Daju had walked before, the residual inducing liquid on the ground gradually seeped into the ground with the rainwater.

Those lives that were originally dormant seemed to see the dawn and desperately began to grow.
