| froze and said in a troubled tone, "But I'm not familiar with this part of the road."
Theo raised his eyebrows and looked atwith a faint smile. "I think Mr. Fredericks mentioned that you'll have
to do your best t 0 assist us."
It might not sound much but he was implying that if | did not go, then | was not doing my job in assisting him.
Therefore, | had no choice but to agree. | put down the work at hand and got up, saying, “Sure, please wait for a
moment."
Later, | found a few plastic bags at the test site and left for the orchard.
When | got to the orchard, | stood outside the fence and was a little troubled.
There was a fence around the orchard. On the one hand, it was to avoid livestock from coming in and messing up

The fences were made of barbed wire. If | could not find the entrance, it was impossible forto climb over.
| went around the orchard but could not find the entrance. When | saw Krayden walking over, | quickly rushed
over to ask for his help, "Do you know the entrance to this orchard?"
Krayden nodded with a smile. "At the opposite. Are you going in to pick sfruits?"
I nodded. "Mr. Grant askedto do so." "It rained last night, so it'll be muddy inside and the ground will be
slippery. Be careful when you go in."
"Thanks.”
After thanking him, | went around to the other side of the orchard and found the entrance.
In this season, sfruits were starting to turn ripe but shad not. If the fruits were for the elderly, then |
would have to pick ripe ones so they would not be so hard to chew on and would also taste sweet.
Not long after | started picking fruits in the orchard, | heard two people talking. It sounded like Theo and Elena.
Elena said in a delicate voice, "You didn't have to cwith me, Mr. Grant. The orchard isn’t far, and | can
manage it alone.
Besides, Mr. Collins might feel bored alone." "It's fine. It's dangerous for you to calone because the ground
is slippery," Theo said blandly.
Perhaps his words had made Elena's heart feel warm and fuzzy, so she looked up at Theo and smiled faintly.
There was light pouring out of her eyes.
| planned to leave because | did not have a habit of being a third-wheeler.
"Have you picked any fruits yet, Ms. Lane?”
| had just turned around when Theo called out to me.

| froze and lowered my head to look at the bag with only a few fruits. | turned my head around and said with a
slight smile," Mr. Collins probably won't be able to eat so much fruit. Since you and Ms. Mandez are here to pick
them, | shall leave."
“Since you're already here, why don't you pick a few more and take them back to share with everyone seeing
how hot it is?" Elena said with a smile.
She deliberately leaned closer to Theo when she spoke as though she was afraid that | had no idea how close
they were.
| felt helpless, but after thinking about it, | nodded and said, "Let's pick them together, then "
If I just walked away, then it would make m e seem like | cared about how close they were.
Later, | saw a fruit tree that had grown healthily and was not too tall. | could easily pick it after reaching out.
Elena followedlike a shadow. When she sawpicking fruits from this tree
and putting them in the bag, she picked one as well. She wiped it with her hands for a long time. She bit into it
and quickly spat it out, saying with a frown, "This is too sour, Ms. Lane. Who'll eat it if you pick it? Stop picking it. «
What a waste of fruit."
