Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life
Chapter 792 - 785: Give Me a Hand
Lin Wanwan left many seeds in ancient times.
The hybrid rice, which doesn’t preserve seeds well, wasn’t chosen. Instead, she chose the optimized premium varieties, which are the favorites of organic farms due to their good taste. Although their yield is not as high as hybrid rice, it’s much more substantial compared to the existing ancient grain varieties.
High-yield crops like potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes were naturally left as seeds as well.
Fourteen hundred years later, Lion City boasts a wide array of fruits and vegetables. At present, many have either not been introduced and developed or are still in their wild, unmanaged state, not yet tamed by human hands.
The locals rely heavily on gathering food from the mountains, which isn’t very stable.
Lin Wanwan must bring her people into an agrarian civilization. After all, this is her future backyard!
As she was replaying the things she did in ancient Lion City in her mind, the makeup artist, who was doing Lin Wanwan’s makeup, interrupted her thoughts with a smile: "Miss Lin, the makeup is done. Are you satisfied with the result?"
Lin Wanwan looked at the woman in the makeup mirror with bright eyes and a subtle smile: "It’s good."
The party today was held on Lu Shouyue’s luxury yacht, which would sail to the high seas for fun. The yacht had already docked at the pier since yesterday evening.
Lin Wanwan had finished her makeup and was now ready to change into a high-end custom cocktail dress.
Originally, Lin Wanwan had prepared a dress for herself for the party, but unexpectedly, Lu Shouyue also prepared one, a beautifully crafted new high-end design.
The straight man’s aesthetic was surprisingly good, completely different from the stereotype Lin Wanwan had in her mind.
Lin Wanwan didn’t hesitate to abandon her original choice, opting to wear what Lu Shouyue prepared. After all, for her, dresses are all the same, so why not choose the one her boyfriend thoughtfully prepared?
It was his birthday, after all; he had the final say.
While Lin Wanwan was writing a novel on her phone and letting the stylist do her hair, Lu Shouyue pushed the door open and entered.
"Wanwan, good morning."
His appearance clearly indicated he had just finished exercising, with steam radiating off him and beads of sweat glistening on his face and neck.
The suite came with a private gym, but obviously, he had been working out with his friends at the public gym that morning.
Lin Wanwan looked up at him and smiled radiantly: "Happy birthday!"
"Thank you, darling."
Gazing at the carefully adorned Lin Wanwan before him, Lu Shouyue felt his heart race uncontrollably, as if seeing the riverside goddess Luoshen, striking like a lotus atop clear waters.
The person who suits both light and heavy makeup seems to have grown straight from his heart, hitting every one of his aesthetic points, like the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
Seeing Lu Shouyue staring intently at her without any attempt to conceal his gaze, Lin Wanwan’s cheeks involuntarily tinged with a hint of blush, becoming even more radiant.
She lightly pursed her lips, lowered her gaze a little, and fluttered her eyelashes, like a butterfly cautiously dancing.
In this suddenly serene moment, the air seemed to be filled with a sweet pink scent.
The stylist working on Lin Wanwan’s hair and the assistant steaming the dress both lightened their movements, even holding their breaths.
It was so awkward, as if their presence was redundant between the two of them. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Help, this is what a couple in love is like!
Finally, the ringing of a phone broke the atmosphere, saving the staff.
Lu Shouyue took out his phone from his pocket. Seeing it was a call from his mother, he turned and said as he walked, "Wanwan, continue with your hair, I’ll take this call and have a shower."
"Okay."
Lin Wanwan watched his back, her lips curling up slightly.
After her hair was done in a princess style, the stylist and assistant helped Lin Wanwan out of her nightgown and into the high-end dress.
"Miss Lin, please check if it fits. The brand’s people are waiting outside; if you want any alterations, they can come in right away."
"No need, it fits very well."
Fitting the dress should have been done a couple of days ago, but Lin Wanwan had been busy time traveling, working on agrarian endeavors, and couldn’t find the time.
It was a very ornate dress. Although the style wasn’t exaggerated, every detail was carefully crafted, with crystals hand-sewn on the bodice, sparkling brilliantly with movement.
Lu Shouyue walked over, freshly showered and changed into a shirt and trousers, witnessing the beauty admiring herself in the mirror.
"How do you feel?" Lin Wanwan asked Lu Shouyue, hearing him coming.
Lu Shouyue smiled slightly: "Beautiful, and the fit is perfect."
High-end dresses are usually custom-made for the wearer, but this entire process was arranged by Lu Shouyue, even down to the measurements he provided.
Those who have had intimate contact carry such confidence.
Lin Wanwan heard the hidden meaning in Lu Shouyue’s words, glared at him playfully, and softly chided, "You’re annoying~"
The stylist and assistant, having completed their tasks, quickly bowed and retreated, leaving the couple alone.
Without the outsiders, Lu Shouyue walked forward without hesitation.
Lin Wanwan looked up, gazing at his restrained and handsome face.
Lu Shouyue lowered his eyes and surprisingly did not embrace her, but instead placed a tie in her hand casually, saying, "Help me with my tie?"
It sounded like both an order and a flirtation.
Lin Wanwan tilted her face up: "I don’t know how."
Lu Shouyue took her hand and wrapped it around his neck, saying softly, "I’ll teach you."
Indeed, he carefully taught her how to tie a tie hand in hand, without any unnecessary movements.
Even though they were still a little apart, and there were no extra movements made.
Lin Wanwan’s heart, however, beat louder and louder, unconsciously holding her breath.
Why did he suddenly seem so adept?
"Have you been out having fun with Wang Bocheng and the others these days?"
Lu Shouyue kept his expression unchanged: "Why do you ask?"
"You seem to have changed suddenly."
Lu Shouyue chuckled softly, released her hand, gently caressed her face, subtly sliding past her neck and earlobe: "It’s tied, adjust it for me."
Lin Wanwan thought, today Lu Shouyue was so restrained, acting like a gentleman, unlike his usually unruly self.
Previously, every single morning he saw her, he would swoop in for a deep good morning kiss, but not today.
But why did his more restrained demeanor only make her heart more restless?
Lin Wanwan swallowed quietly, lowering her eyes to gaze at his Adam’s apple, quietly adjusting the angle of the tie.
Her hands were touching the collar of his shirt, yet she seemed to feel his heartbeat.
Lu Shouyue grabbed one of her hands and intertwined their fingers.
Lin Wanwan looked up, meeting his deep, beguiling peach blossom eyes that seemed like a whirlpool.
In the next second, Lu Shouyue held her head with one hand and kissed her.
Lin Wanwan stumbled forward, falling into his embrace, tightly holding him, kissing intently and fiercely, their heartbeats aligning, overwhelmingly intense.
Lin Wanwan chuckled softly in her heart.
This is more like him!
