Chapter 864 Promise (Two Chapters in One)

On the mysterious island surrounded by white mist, a figure appeared out of thin air.

Lin Li looked at the magical little tree very close to him, and with a thought in his mind, a piece of information appeared out of thin air in his mind.

Super Power Fruit: 1% maturity progress.

Island area: 150 acres.

"It will take Shopkeeper Wang almost half a month to prepare all the pearls I need.

In the following days, I will seize the time to hunt strange beasts and strive to further improve my strength before going to Shuanghe City. Lin Li muttered to himself as he looked at the magical tree.

Then, his figure disappeared on the spot, and the next second, he appeared in front of the cultivated farmland.

Cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, eggplants, cabbage, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, watermelons, and strawberries all grow very well in the fields.

Lin Li came down from the field to pick fresh fruits and vegetables from the field.

After a while, there were a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in the big bamboo baskets around him.

After picking fruits and vegetables, Linli went to the edge of the island, filled some water with a bucket, and watered the plants on the island.

"Huh?"

"Why did these fruit trees suddenly grow so much?"

The forest stands on the north side of the mysterious island, with some peach trees, pear trees, apple trees, loquat trees, cherry trees, lychee trees, orange trees, and bayberry trees planted.

The last time we watered these fruit trees, they only reached Lin Li's waist, but now they have grown to Lin Li's shoulders.

If these fruit trees continue to grow so fast, Lin Li may be able to harvest in another month or two.

…………

The sun outside the window slowly moved towards the horizon, and the gorgeous sunset changed the city into bright clothes.

The setting sun shines into the room through the glass, illuminating large red spots on the floor of the living room.

The clock hanging on the wall ticked in an orderly manner and made an inaudible sound.

Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air in the quiet living room.

Lin Li came out of the mysterious island. After returning home, he walked to the kitchen with a large basket filled with fresh fruits and vegetables.

"Why hasn't the water supply been restored yet?"

"The water supply has been cut off before, but it was restored within six hours each time."

Lin Li came to the kitchen carrying a large basket of fresh fruits and vegetables, and placed the large basket on the ground. He took out a delicate cucumber and prepared to wash it. When he turned on the faucet, there was not a drop of water, which made him very confused.

Coming out of the kitchen, Lin Li walked to the living room, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and opened the resident group.

The water supply was cut off for a whole day, and many people couldn't stand it and complained in the group.

Lin Li looked through the chat history, skipped the complaints, and found a message from Aunt Wang of the Residential Committee.

"I just received a notice saying that the tap water supply will be restored at 6:30."

Lin Li read the message sent by Aunt Wang from the Residential Committee, and immediately checked the current time and found that it was already six o'clock.

After another half hour, the tap water supply will be restored to normal, so there is no need to worry.

Of course, even if the tap water supply cannot be restored to normal, Lin Li will not be stumped.

If he needs water, he can go to the mysterious island to get water at will.

The endless fresh water can supply the entire city without any problem.

"By the way, I should water the orchid on the balcony. If it dies from drought, I won't be able to explain it to Su Yue."

After a while, Lin Li stood on the balcony bathing in the sunset.

He held a crisp cucumber in his left hand and took a bite from time to time, making a clicking sound. He held a kettle filled with water in his right hand to water the thriving orchid.

…………

In a villa community in the north district of the city, a figure was pacing back and forth in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

The setting sun outside the window shines into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows and falls on this figure. You can see the anxious expression on this person's face.

"It's been so long, but there's no news from Mr. Xu. Should I call him again and ask him?"

Zhang Xiaohao met Mr. Xu before the holiday and paid Mr. Xu to teach Lin Li a lesson. However, after such a long time, there was no news at all, which made Zhang Xiaohao, who had been waiting, become more and more anxious.

Last time I called Mr. Xu and asked when the results would be available, the answer given by the other party was that the results would be available soon after the holiday.

Now that the holiday has passed, Zhang Xiaohao, who has not received the news for a long time, can't hold it anymore.

He really wanted to call Mr. Xu, but he was afraid of making him unhappy.

"Damn it, I'm spending money to get myself punished! If I had known that this would be like this, I wouldn't have spent so much money to ask him to teach that guy a lesson."

Zhang Xiaohao had a depressing headache. He was unable to make a decision. Just when he was struggling, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who?" Zhang Xiaohao's thoughts were interrupted. He turned his head and looked towards the door and asked.

"Master, my wife is looking for you." The housekeeping aunt outside the door shouted.

"Okay, I understand, I'll go down later..." Zhang Xiaohao responded.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, gradually getting further away.

Zhang Xiaohao looked out the window. Because it was getting dark, some residents in the community were returning one after another. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered something that happened before the holiday.

"We agreed before that when my father comes back, she will come to my house for a meal..."

Zhang Xiaohao picked up his phone and sent a message to Su Yue.

"Su Yue, my dad's business trip is over. He will come back tonight. Do you have time tomorrow? If so, come to my house for a meal."

After sending the message, Zhang Xiaohao stared at the phone screen anxiously.

I thought it would take a long time for Su Yue to reply, but unexpectedly, within half a minute after sending the message, the other party responded.

"Yes!"

"I will pick you up from your school tomorrow." Zhang Xiaohao typed excitedly.

"Don't bother picking me up from school. I'll just take a taxi after get off work tomorrow." Su Yue refused.

"It's not too much trouble. I'll be discussing a business deal near your school tomorrow and I'll pick you up on the way." Zhang Xiaohao said.

"That's it! That's okay!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao say this, Su Yue did not refuse.

The matter was finalized, and happy laughter echoed in the quiet room.

Zhang Xiaohao, who originally looked gloomy, was smiling broadly, looking through the chat with Su Yue just now, and murmuring to himself.

"I have to go out for a haircut later, and then pick up the custom-made clothes."

Zhang Xiaohao, who felt better, left the bedroom and went to the living room on the first floor.

Wu Guilan asked with some confusion when she saw her son smiling.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Mom, I just contacted Su Yue and made an appointment with her for dinner tomorrow..." Zhang Xiaohao quickly told his mother what had just happened, his joyful emotions clearly visible.

Wu Guilan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard her son's story.

She had always hoped that Zhang Xiaohao could catch Su Yue, and now things seemed to be making some progress, which was really gratifying.

"When you go to pick up Su Yue tomorrow, you have to tidy yourself up properly." Wu Guilan warned.

"Yeah." Zhang Xiaohao nodded quickly, "I'll go to the barber shop to get a haircut later, and then I'll pick up the customized clothes."

"Before you pick her up tomorrow, go to the flower shop and buy a bouquet of flowers." Wu Guilan said.

"This..." Zhang Xiaohao hesitated upon hearing this, then shook his head, "Forget it about the flowers."

"Every girl doesn't like flowers. Go to the flower shop and buy a bouquet of flowers and give it to her to please her!"

"I'm not a rookie, I understand everything you said."

"Then why don't you buy flowers?" Wu Guilan asked doubtfully.

"We haven't reached that point yet. If we push her too hard, it will easily make her resentful." Zhang Xiaohao explained.

After Wu Guilan heard this, she thought about it and felt it made sense. Then she stopped talking about buying flowers and started talking about her husband's return.

"Your dad has a flight at night. You go to the airport to pick him up then."

"Just let Xiao Liu pick it up."

"Xiao Liu has something going on at home, and he just asked me for a leave."

"Okay, then I'll pick up dad at the airport."

The mother and son chatted happily. After a while, Zhang Xiaohao left home in a hurry and went to a high-end barber shop where he often went to get a haircut.

…………

At Rongxi Primary School, the setting sun on the horizon gives a beautiful color to the teaching buildings.

In the teacher's office, Su Yue held her mobile phone in her hand, thinking about what gifts to bring when she goes to her parents' friend's house for dinner tomorrow.

Wang Jiao walked into the office at this time. She came to Su Yue's side, pulled out the chair and sat down. She opened the bag in her hand, took out a cup of milk tea, and put it on Su Yue's desk.

"Thanks!" Su Yue said with a smile, then picked up the straw.

"What were you thinking about just now? You looked confused." Wang Jiao asked curiously.

"It's like this. My parents' friend will come back from a business trip tomorrow. I'm going to his house for dinner. I'm thinking about what gift to bring tomorrow." Su Yue didn't think about what gift to bring for the time being, so she talked about the matter and hoped that Wang Jiao could give it to her. Make suggestions.

"What's there to worry about? Since we are your parents' friends, we should have a good relationship. Just go to the supermarket and buy a bag of fruit." Wang Jiao said with a smile, and then she also picked up a straw to drink milk tea.

Su Yue held the straw with her slender fingers and stirred the milk tea in the cup, "Just bring a bag of fruit. Is this gift too light?"

"It's not a birthday, it's just a meal. A bag of fruit is fine! You really think such a gift is too light, why don't you bring some tea!" Wang Jiao said with a smile.

"Tea...this is a good choice." Su Yue had just received a box of high-quality tea from Zheng Qiuyi not long ago, and she had already made a decision in her heart.

"Ring ring ring..."

While we were chatting, a clear ringtone rang out in the quiet campus.

As the school bell rang, the classroom filled with loud books became noisy.

"School is out!"

"I'm so hungry!"

"My mom is frying chicken legs tonight."

"My parents are taking me out for dinner tonight..."

Primary school students carrying schoolbags chatted and lined up at the school gate.

Parents who came early to wait outside the school gate stood on tiptoes and looked into the school, looking for their children.

"Mom." Zhou Tongtong, who had her hair tied in a bun, trotted all the way with a cartoon schoolbag on her back, and soon came to Xia Qing.

"Are you hungry?"

"Um."

Xia Qing took out a pack of biscuits from her pocket and stuffed it into her daughter's hand. "You eat some biscuits first to cushion your stomach. I will take you to a place to have dinner..."

"Eh?" Zhou Tongtong was stunned for half a second after hearing this, and then asked in confusion, "Mom, aren't you going home for dinner?"

“The water supply is still out at home, so it’s inconvenient to go home and cook.”

"The water supply is still out at home!" Zhou Tongtong said in surprise, "Mom, didn't you tell me this morning that the water supply would come right after school?"

"Under normal circumstances, the water supply is restored soon. I don't know why this time it took so long to return to normal." Xia Qing shook her head.

"Oh." Zhou Tongtong nodded, and then Xia Qing carried her into the back seat of the electric car.

When the mother and daughter left the school gate, Su Yue came out of the school on a white electric scooter and drove along the street in an orderly manner, checking that the route was not going home.

A moment later, Su Yue parked his electric car in front of a flower shop on Wangxi Road in the East District.

"Master, be careful."

A very beautiful woman who was 1.68 meters tall, with short shoulder-length hair, an oval face, and a well-proportioned figure stood at the door of the flower shop, reminding the engineer who was replacing the billboard.

Hearing a familiar voice in the distance, Su Yue, who had just parked her electric car, looked up and then stepped closer.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Ling was startled by the sudden voice behind her. She turned around and saw that it was an old classmate. She immediately raised her hand and patted her chest, "You scared me. When did you arrive?"

Su Yue smiled and said, "Just a few seconds after arriving, what are you doing? The original billboard was fine, why did you replace it?"

Wang Ling looked up at the newly replaced billboard and said with a smile, "I didn't think the color of the original billboard looked good, so I decided to change it. What do you think now?"

"Not bad, but it doesn't feel good to change the billboard not long after your store opened." Su Yue said.

"Hehe, I'm not worried about that. With you here, bad luck is at hand." Wang Ling stepped forward and hugged Su Yue's arm, and said with a smile.

"You think of me as a lucky cat!" Su Yue shook her head helplessly, but the smile on her pretty face was a little wider.

"Boss lady, the billboard is ready, can you take a look?"

The master worker standing on the scaffolding wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked back at his employer, and was stunned when he saw the two beauties smiling happily.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master." Wang Ling let go of Su Yue's arm, looked at the brand new billboard carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now that the employer is satisfied, he can call it a day. Just as the master worker was about to get off the scaffolding, a scream suddenly sounded above his head.

"ah!"

"careful."

A flower pot fell from the balcony of a resident upstairs. By coincidence, it landed exactly where the worker was.

Wang Ling was stunned and had no time to react.

Su Yue, who was standing aside, was in a similar situation, except that a pale golden light suddenly flashed in the depths of her eyes.
