Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs Chapter 298 - Yellow Dream

Chapter 298: Yellow Dream

Although Mu Jingzhe had ended up getting caught off guard by that joke, on the whole, it was a very happy day.
It was already dark. After drinking some water and resting for a while, she realized that she was hungry after horse riding for an entire day.
“Let’s go back after dinner. There’s a mountain villa on the way. I’ve eaten there before. The chicken, duck, fish, and side dishes are not bad. They’re very fresh. They also allow guests to fish over there. I’ll take you guys fishing next time.”
Because they were really hungry, Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei only nodded in answer to whatever Ji Buwang said.
The villa was not bad. It was similar to the modern farmhouse. There was an orchard, a fishing ground, and a large vegetable field. If the people from Ocean City came to vacation there, they could row a boat and fish. They could also pluck fruits and vegetables and they could bring back the fruits and vegetables or stir-fry them at the farmstead.
Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but sigh. The people in the city knew how to have fun, and the boss was also smart. People from villages might not care for it, but the city folks did.
The boss had started adopting agritourism[1] long before it became popular.
Because it was already dark when Mu Jingzhe and the others arrived, these activities were canceled. The boss was very regretful and asked if they wanted to go with a flashlight, but Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei refused.
Because they came from Great Eastern Village, they were no strangers to planting vegetables or fruits. After the initial confusion, Mu Jingzhe had become proficient in planting vegetables. She had planted many vegetables in the vegetable fields.
Other than potatoes, she had planted plenty of brinjals, cabbages, and chives.
The kids had also helped water the plants before. While the children in the city found it novel, to Little Bei and the rest, this was simply work.
The boss moved quickly and the dishes were served fast. Probably because they were hungry, they found the food quite delicious.
After they ate and drank to their hearts’ content, Ji Buwang took Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei back.
Shao Qihai was naturally unhappy, but he couldn’t say a word. Because he had already said that they were free now, Mu Jingzhe was free to go out with Ji Buwang.
He hadn’t expected Ji Buwang to come up with an idea such as riding a horse. Riding a horse was something the five kids had never done before.
Shao Qihai tossed and turned but didn’t fall asleep. He thought that he had to think of a date that even Mu Jingzhe couldn’t turn down. Something that the children hadn’t proposed before.
Mu Jingzhe also experienced some side effects from riding a horse that night. She dreamed of riding a horse with Ji Buwang again, but the conversation in the dream rendered her unable to bear to look at him.
She didn’t know if it was because today’s events had left a deep impression on her today, but in the end, she dreamed of it too.
Mu Jingzhe tried her best to wake herself up and really woke up.
When she woke up and realized that she was really dreaming, Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. At the thought of the dream, she felt terrible.
The dream was actually a little complicated. Had she been affected by Li Zhaodi’s driving[2] because she had heard too much about it?
Seeing that it was still early, Mu Jingzhe felt that she needed to calm down. After washing her face, she went to the studio to work. In the end, she suddenly realized that she had picked up male underwear.
Mu Jingzhe had already started preparing to launch the ladies’ version in the market, but she couldn’t really ignore the men’s version, so she took the time to make some samples.
She had made two designs previously and even made Mu Han try them.
At first, Mu Han thought that Mu Jingzhe had given him something good. In the end, when he took it off, his face turned red and he couldn’t even speak.
Mu Jingzhe was thick-skinned enough to let Mu Han give feedback to her after trying it on. After all, she had finally found a young laborer.
Although Mu Han was a little embarrassed, he knew that it was something serious and left without saying much.
However, Mu Han couldn’t be the only one trying it on. Now that Mu Jingzhe had made another design, she had to find someone else to try it on.
As Mu Jingzhe thought about it, Ji Buwang unconsciously appeared in her mind. She even started to imagine what Ji Buwang would look like in it.
When she finally reacted, Mu Jingzhe was stunned. “Mu Jingzhe, wake up!”
A horse ride seemed to have turned on a strange switch in her, making her feel increasingly out of control.
Mu Jingzhe slapped herself and got ready to put it away.
However, just as she was about to put it away, she realized that a part of it wasn’t sewn well. Mu Jingzhe’s hand was faster than her brain, so she grabbed the needle and thread. When she realized what was going on, Mu Jingzhe didn’t stop either.
She decided to sew it up first lest she dreamed that Ji Buwang’s clothes would suddenly burst open. That would be even more awkward.
After Mu Jingzhe finished sewing it, she realized what she was thinking and couldn’t help but hit her head. “Mu Jingzhe, you’re crazy, crazy!”
As soon as she finished, she heard Ji Buwang’s voice. “Jingzhe, why are you hitting yourself?”
Mu Jingzhe paused. Was she hallucinating? She frowned and turned around to see Ji Buwang standing in the courtyard. “Jingzhe, do you have a headache?”
Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe with concern and took two steps forward, wanting to enter.
He had followed the landlady in and even fetched her a bucket of water. After the landlady left, Ji Buwang wandered to Mu Jingzhe’s temporary office.
He had thought that Mu Jingzhe and the others weren’t up yet, but when he saw that Mu Jingzhe was up and was even hitting herself, he thought that she was feeling unwell.
“Don’t come over!” Mu Jingzhe, who was caught off guard, reacted fast. She quickly hid the thing in her hand behind her back and reached out to stop Ji Buwang from coming over.
Ji Buwang stopped, his eyes filled with confusion.
Mu Jingzhe took a deep breath to calm down and hid the underwear in her hand. “Why… Why are you here?”
When Mu Jingzhe saw Ji Buwang, she couldn’t help but recall her dream last night. Her mind was filled with images of him in that dream. Plus, there was that one image that she couldn’t help imagining a moment ago. When the two images merged, she couldn’t bear to look straight at them. She was about to go crazy and didn’t even dare look at Ji Buwang.
“My grandfather suddenly asked me to go back. It seems like something’s happened. I bought a plane ticket to go back in the afternoon, so I wanted to say goodbye to you.”
Ji Buwang didn’t want to go back at all, but his grandfather seemed to have something to talk to him about, so he could only agree. He was actually very reluctant.
When Mu Jingzhe heard that Ji Buwang was leaving, she was stunned for a moment before she finally calmed down. “You’re leaving?”
“Mm, if it’s nothing major, I’ll be back soon. If there’s anything wrong, you can contact me. If you and Little Bei have time, you can go to the racecourse yourselves. I’ve spoken to my friend. Of course, if Little Dong and Little Xi like it, you can bring them too.”
Ji Buwang smiled and said meaningfully, “But only you and the children can go.”
He wouldn’t let Shao Qihai go. If he let Shao Qihai go, he would be helping to bring them together. He wasn’t kind enough to do such a thing. He was the only one who could ride a horse with Jingzhe.
Ji Buwang had specifically come to tell her because he wanted Little Bei to learn, and Mu Jingzhe had enjoyed it too.
However, when Mu Jingzhe heard Ji Buwang mention riding a horse, she felt sheepish again, feeling like Ji Buwang had seen through her.
“Oh, I won’t ride anymore. I’m not going again.” She was afraid that every time she went, she would remember that joke.
“Why?” Ji Buwang frowned. “Didn’t you like it very much yesterday? You can tell me if there’s a problem. Or is it because I said I’m going back?”
“No, no, there’s no problem. I really like it…” Mu Jingzhe looked into Ji Buwang’s eyes. “I was spouting nonsense just now. I’ll go again.”
Maybe after riding a few times, that thought wouldn’t surface in her mind again.
