Shen Luo blinked. 'Wait—I planted watermelons?'

Took him a few moments to remember. Back then, one of the farmer buddies had mentioned someone in the village was growing watermelons, but the elderly at home weren't thrilled, so there were extra seedlings they wanted to sell cheap—just enough to recoup a little cost. Shen Luo had felt bad for them, and since the price was low, he'd bought a few dozen watermelon seedlings. The kind-hearted farmer even threw in some melon seedlings for free. Shen Luo had just found a patch of ground and planted them, then completely forgot about it.

And now, it was peak watermelon season. They usually hit the markets at the end of June. Shen Luo had been craving them for over a month but hadn't bought any yet because they were like ten or fifteen yuan apiece. Who knew he had his own stash?

He cheerfully followed the farmer to check them out and learned how to tell which ones were ripe. Turns out, those dozens of seedlings had actually produced quite a haul—clearly the farmers had taken good care of them.

"Take a couple home when you leave!" Shen Luo said.

But the farmers just laughed. "We can't even finish the ones from our own fields. No need to take yours, boss!"

Shen Luo nearly cried. The farmers were living better than he was.

While he was chatting, he suddenly heard a round of frantic barking from Brother Hei and the gang. He turned and saw the Akita had just chomped a big watermelon to pieces. What a little troublemaker!

The big watermelon was split up, but the cats and dogs weren't that into it. Shen Luo and the farmers had some, and the rest went into the fridge.

Shen Luo sighed. If only Xiao Chuan were here... This was a pure, all-natural, no-food-coloring-added watermelon.

While he was picking the melons, Shen Luo also asked the farmers about the brooding hen. That's when he learned that this wasn't really the ideal season—too hot, and the hen might overheat. Still, as long as he kept an eye on her, it should be fine.

After picking all the fruit, Shen Luo went over to ask the hen, "Hey... you sure it's not too hot for you?"

The hen didn't even bother acknowledging him. She sat upright in the nest like a queen on her throne, looking all serious and important. Shen Luo had no choice but to just let her be.

Since the farmers didn't want any melons, Shen Luo brought them to the hospital instead. As expected, the stuff that was super cheap in the countryside turned out to be crazy popular with city folks.

"Boss, that's not cool. These watermelons have been in season for a while now and you're only bringing them out now? Were you secretly hiding them to eat all by yourself before this?" Zheng Jiamei was the first to call him out.

Shen Luo cried injustice, "If they hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have even remembered I planted them! You should be happy you're getting some at all—quit whining!"

Wang Bo liked this kind of bonus too. Unlike those times when Shen Luo gave out chickens or whatever—since he didn't know how to cook and always had to bug someone else—these watermelons were way easier to deal with.

And since the farmer bros were honest people, all the fertilizer they used on Shen Luo's field was legit green manure. Barely any chemicals. So the melons tasted amazing too.

Zheng Jiamei grabbed two and stashed them in her room. Wang Wei quietly carried one back to his own. And turns out they were being super smart—none of the animals at the hospital cared about fruit, but every person who came by wanted some. One bite and they were hooked. Shen Luo actually started wondering if the watermelons from his place were some kind of magical fruit.

Wang Bo was a little too slow though. He didn't get anything at first—every time someone came by, they cracked one open and shared it all. Zheng Jiamei ended up giving Wang Bo one from hers, though she looked like it physically hurt to part with it. That was also when Shen Luo realized that even though Wang Wei didn't talk much, he was secretly pretty sly.

While everyone was busy yelling for more watermelon, Ah Fei finally went into labor.

Considering Ah Fei's usual temper, Shen Luo hadn't planned on being in the room. But surprisingly, she was being unusually chill this time. So he stayed with her. After all, no matter how tough a girl might be, this kind of moment still calls for company. And besides, her baby daddy was that airhead—definitely not the reliable type.

Even though Ah Fei was chubby, she moved around a lot and kept fit, so the whole delivery went super smooth. She gave birth to four kittens, all fat and healthy, just like her. Ah Fei was glowing with rare motherly vibes, licking one, then another, totally focused. Even Shen Luo was stunned watching her.

Dumb Egg was completely confused. It took him forever to realize he'd become a dad. But even then, he was still Dumb Egg. He reached out a paw to poke at one of the kittens and immediately got shredded by Ah Fei, who dragged her freshly-delivered body over just to claw the crap out of him. He didn't dare go back in after that. Ah Fei had never been that fierce with him before.

Oddly enough, after giving birth, Ah Fei seemed to be nicer to Qiuqiu. Maybe she needed someone to share mom tips with?

Ah Fei had just given birth not long ago, and before everyone could even relax, Mengmeng went into labor too. The only difference was that Ah Fei gave birth in the afternoon, while Mengmeng's turn came at night.

Mengmeng was about to give birth to her cute little Samoyeds, and a lot of people were watching. Even Zheng Jiamei couldn't bear to leave after work and stayed in the hospital the whole time.

Back then, only Shen Luo had suspected that the pups in Mengmeng's belly weren't Duoduo's. Everyone else was convinced she was definitely having Duoduo's babies.

Around eleven at night, Mengmeng smoothly gave birth to three puppies. Shen Luo took one glance and finally let out a breath of relief—it really was little Samoyeds, not some mixed breeds.

Looking at Brother Pi, who never cared about anything and only thought about food all day, Shen Luo thought to himself, no wonder you can't find a girlfriend!

After the puppies were born, Zheng Jiamei and Wang Bo quickly left. Shen Luo walked around the hospital to check things out. He had planned to stay overnight, since after all, two litters with seven new little lives had just been born today. But Wang Wei said he could handle it.
