Chapter 77

Dividing fifty peaches into six portions, this time the peaches were more abundant, so there was no need to be frugal. Even Dazhuang and Huang Tao, who had just arrived, were included.

Lin Xiao called each person to notify them, and those who were notified were also surprised. How could there be more good things so soon after they hadn't even finished the honey? Was Lin Xiao some kind of magician?

Ye Ding was the first to arrive. Upon hearing that Lin Xiao had something as good as the honey, his mouth watered, and he dropped everything to rush over.

"Brother, it's me, open the door." Ye Ding was still outside, but his loud voice was already shouting.

Lin Xiao looked and opened the door to let Ye Ding in. "What is it this time?" Ye Ding asked, rubbing his hands together, his face full of anticipation.

"Here." Lin Xiao tilted his head, and Ye Ding followed his gaze to see bags of peaches already divided and laid out.

Without paying any attention to Lin Xiao, Ye Ding rushed over, picked up a bag, and opened it. Seeing the large peaches inside, he was immediately stunned.

Ye Ding pointed at the peaches and said, "Is this what you call a good thing? Peaches?"

"Yes," Lin Xiao nodded affirmatively.

"Are you sure? The streets are full of peaches," Ye Ding said, his face full of doubt.

"Yes," Lin Xiao nodded again.

Seeing Lin Xiao's mysterious demeanor, Ye Ding didn't continue to ask questions and picked up one peach, taking a big bite. He was immediately stunned, just like Lin Xiao the first time he ate a peach.

Lin Xiao was waiting for this moment. He instantly took out his phone, snapped a photo, and posted it on social media, even coming up with a title, "Dumbfounded." After doing all this, Lin Xiao secretly laughed, and Ye Ding finally came to his senses.

Holding the peach in his hand, his face full of rich expressions, he looked like he wanted to say something but also wanted to eat more. Lin Xiao took another photo with his phone and smiled smugly.

"Is it a good thing, Brother Ye?" Lin Xiao teased.

Ye Ding didn't respond, focusing on finishing the peach in his hand, his satisfied expression completely ignoring Lin Xiao.

"Brother Ye, take two portions. Take Chen Lao's portion as well. I still have to give some to others," Lin Xiao said, seeing that Ye Ding's mood had stabilized.

Ye Ding didn't bother with formalities. The peaches were too delicious, and he couldn't wait to eat another one.

"Alright, I'll go first." Ye Ding picked up two bags of peaches and left.

He Pingji also came over and took two bags. Like Ye Ding, he was teased by Lin Xiao, and the situation was the same.

Dazhuang, hearing Lin Xiao call him, took a bag without a word.

Huang Tao didn't hesitate either. After eating the peaches, he left without a word, saying he had to supervise the construction site.

All fifty peaches were distributed, and the villa returned to its previous tranquility. The same people were in the same spots, basking in the sun and reading books.

A few days passed leisurely, but Lin Xiao was no longer at peace, as Ye Ding kept pestering him. It turned out that after Ye Ding took the peaches home, he also played a trick on a few friends, reluctantly dividing two peaches into several portions.

As a result, Ye Ding faced a tragedy. A group of friends complained and demanded more, saying Ye Ding wasn't generous enough. In the end, he only ate three peaches from his bag, and the rest were eaten by his friends.

Ye Ding finally came up with a not-so-good plan: to bother Lin Xiao. Since Lin Xiao had generously divided the peaches into six portions, he must have more in stock.

To show his sincerity, Ye Ding specially came to Lin Xiao, which gave Lin Xiao a headache.

The two stared at each other for half a day, with Ye Ding focusing on Lin Xiao.

"Brother, please, stop staring at me," Lin Xiao pleaded, having no idea what to do with Ye Ding.

"No, as long as you give me peaches, I'll disappear immediately," Ye Ding said firmly, his determination making Lin Xiao even more helpless.

"I really don't have any left," Lin Xiao said helplessly, refusing to admit he still had some.

"I don't believe you. Or tell me where you bought them," Ye Ding continued to stare, not blinking.

"This time the peaches were a surprise. Someone came to recommend them, saying their peach tree could produce such peaches. I bought some on a whim, not knowing they would be so delicious. But next year, I'll have them too. I bought many peach trees from him," Lin Xiao lied casually, his face not even turning red, showing that his face was as thick as his age.

"Then you must have the seller's phone number," Ye Ding pressed.

"I didn't keep it. At the time, I didn't think much about it. I bought them on a whim and later found them delicious. Seeing that my land was still empty, I bought some peach trees," Lin Xiao continued to lie.

"I still don't believe you," Ye Ding kept staring.

"Brother, I'll kneel to you," Lin Xiao said, at a loss.

After a few days of Ye Ding's relentless pestering, Lin Xiao's defenses finally broke. Ye Ding left happily with a bag of peaches.

Lin Xiao watched Ye Ding's car drive away, his face full of resentment. "Sigh, I only had a few peaches left, and now I only have about forty," Lin Xiao thought bitterly.

For several days, Lin Xiao's phone didn't stop ringing. It was He Pingji, Wu Zuoli, and finally Chen Lao, all asking about the peaches. Lin Xiao was almost driven to the brink.

He Pingji often came over, just like Ye Ding, with the same goal of getting peaches. Whenever he had time, he would drive over, not saying a word, but his expression clearly said, "If you don't give me peaches, I won't leave." Lin Xiao was almost driven mad; he couldn't hit or scold him.

'I can't provoke them, but can't I avoid them?' Lin Xiao thought resentfully.

'Of the thirty-six stratagems, the best is to run away.' Lin Xiao casually found a travel website online, saw that the fastest tour group was leaving the next day, and without checking the destination, he signed up. After looking at the meeting place for the next day, he closed the webpage.

'Sigh, this is driving me crazy. I need to go out and hide for a while,' Lin Xiao thought.

The next day, at a hotel in H City, Lin Xiao left home early, drove to H City, and arrived at the XX Hotel. Following the signs, he found the meeting point for the tour group, found a secluded spot, and quietly waited for departure.

In the hotel's private room, the number of people gradually increased. Everyone was fully equipped, while Lin Xiao sat calmly in the corner.

Lin Xiao was a bit puzzled. Why were they all so well-prepared with tents and everything? What kind of tour group had he signed up for?
