Ranch Story: Start Over

Walking into the library, everyone around was busy with their own things, even those who were talking were speaking softly, while the library director Mary was writing and drawing at the director's desk, and next to her was her cheap senior brother Gray. The two of them clearly had each other in their hearts, and love had already taken root in their hearts, but because of their shy personalities, no one dared to be the first to express their feelings.

Feng Ling walked cautiously behind the two men, wanting to see what they were doing.

Senior Brother Gray appeared to be very focused, with a tense and unusually serious expression. However, after only a short while, Feng Ling keenly noticed that this senior brother had actually kept his eyes firmly fixed on Mary from beginning to end - what a sultry man!

Looking at Mary's side, it is even more interesting.

Her originally fair cheeks became even redder, as tempting as a ripe apple.

There is no doubt that due to the long stalemate between the two, the senior brother's direct and passionate gaze made Mary, who was already shy, feel very shy.

Hey, brother, brother, you are staring at that girl like that, didn’t you notice her flushed little face?

"Ahem!"

"Um?"

"Forehead!"

Hearing this deliberately low-volume cough, both of them who were in a delicate atmosphere were shocked.

Then, Feng Ling said to them softly:

"You two... Brother, and Mary, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Feng Ling turned around and left the library. The two people who were left there confused didn't know why Feng Ling wanted to see them, but Mary, who had just been freed from the embarrassment, still responded very politely:

"Okay, wait for us outside."

"We'll be here in a minute."

Feng Ling didn't rush them and waited for the two of them at the door of the library. Not long after, Mary and Gray, who had arranged the staff, came out together.

"Come on, senior brother, beautiful Mary, I'll treat you to dinner today. Let's go to Dart Restaurant together. I was able to handle the incident last time thanks to your help. Otherwise, I wouldn't have obtained that kind of innate ability."

"So you're inviting us to dinner."

Mary's face lit up with a big smile, and Gray said with a smile:

"That's so embarrassing. Besides, it's just a small favor. You're my junior fellow apprentice, so this is what I should do."

"Don't refuse, both of you. Come and have a taste of my cooking. I just happen to have some professional questions that I want to consult you on. You are considered professionals. Come on, I have some good stuff here."

After hearing what the other party said, the two stopped refusing.

In fact, Feng Ling still had some minor professional questions in his mind, and he wanted to take this opportunity to ask them for advice! After all, the two of them were interested in academic research, and they were very happy to discuss and study it together.

Fortunately, Dart's Restaurant is not far from the library.

So the three of them walked and talked along the way, strolling leisurely under the shade of the trees, and before they knew it, they arrived at Dart Restaurant.

At this moment, time has quietly passed to half past ten, which is not far from the usual lunch time of eleven o'clock.

"Chef, you are finally back! I will go and report to the boss right away."

Feng Ling was quick to grab the waiter at the door and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm hosting a party for my friends today, so there's no need to disturb Uncle Dart. Uncle Dart is very busy. Please ask my sister to come to my box so we can share some goodies."

"Okay, Mr. Chef, I'll do it right away."

"Then let's go in first!"

After entering the restaurant, Feng Ling selected an elegant private room and arranged for the two handsome men and beautiful women to sit down and rest.

After everything was arranged, Feng Ling turned to the kitchen and began to prepare delicious food, intending to entertain them with a table full of sumptuous dishes.

As for those premium fruits, Feng Ling decided to hold off for the time being, to test the waters first, and observe the possible reactions and feedback in a small range before deciding whether to take them out.

……

Seven dishes were prepared one after another. They were either very expensive delicacies from land and sea or home-cooked dishes. The last dish was fruit after the meal. Feng Ling mixed three kinds of fruits, namely pineapple, watermelon and peach.

But because it was a premium fruit, it caused quite a stir once the flesh was opened.

Fortunately, Feng Ling, who was quick-witted and quick-handed, quickly mobilized his magic power to lock the overwhelming fragrance in the plate and covered it with a lid. At first, the people around were still wondering what smelled so good, but because Feng Ling was prepared and acted quickly, they reluctantly gave an excuse to get away with it.

"Ding ding ding ding, the food is served, the last dish, a fruit platter."

"!"

"!"

"!"

Looking at the expressions of the three people, their eyes almost popped out, especially Mary, who raised her chopsticks in disbelief, picked up a piece of pineapple with her chopsticks, and said carefully:

"Feng Ling, is this really a pineapple?"

"It's genuine! Don't just look at it. What's so good about it? Try it and take one home each. Don't tell anyone. It's a little gift from me."

"You little bastard! You have something so delicious and you didn't even give it to me to try first!"

Lin was angrily preparing to pull Feng Ling's ears, and she was becoming more and more skilled at this action.

“No, no, no, Senior Sister, I got this top-quality fruit from Goddess Peak. I was lucky to get it from the Goddess, otherwise I wouldn’t have such good luck.”

After listening to Feng Ling's explanation, Lin looked even angrier.

"How come you are so lucky? First you got the divine object, then the alchemical furnace, and now you have these tributes from the gods. Ahhhh! I'm so envious!"

Looking at Lin pretending to be in pain, Feng Ling didn't know whether she was truly envious or just pretending to be envious.

The fruit that Feng Ling had exchanged for 10,000 merit points had been divided into three portions as he looked at his agitated senior sister.

"Little ancestor, give it to me. I am afraid of you. Mary, senior brother, please accept this as a small token of my appreciation. Let's continue eating."

Because everyone was not very familiar with each other yet, but with Feng Ling's introduction of the topic and the mutual research and discussion, the four of them all didn't like drinking, so they drank a lot of juice. After three rounds of drinking, the four of them no longer felt as unfamiliar as before.

"Mary, Senior Brother Gray, this is what happened. I decided to study magic lighting equipment, that is, the street lamp, but I don't know where to start with this thing, so I hope you experts can give me some advice. Don't worry, Senior Brother, I will definitely not steal your research."

Gray laughed heartily and said:

"Junior brother, don't worry about this. It would be great if you could learn nature. My advice to you is to start with sustainable renewable energy."

“Renewable energy?”
