Chapter 133

In the darkness, Jasper gently embraced her, "How do you feel about me, Stella?"

Stella's mind was buzzing, her body slightly stiff, but she didn't push him away. After a while, she responded, "It's... it's okay."

"Stella, this is the first time I've ever liked someone, and it is also the first time I've ever treated someone well. If there's anything I'm not doing right, don't hesitate to tell me. Don't keep it to yourself." "I..." Stella thought for a moment, then said with some hesitation, "I was pretty silly before. I had a little crush on Hector, even gave him gifts. Does that bother you?"

Jasper held her tighter, "Did you like him?"

Stella paused, thought for a while before answering, "I did at that time. It felt like I was under a spell. But now that I think about it, it wasn't really like. More like chasing the light."

People tended to want what they didn't have. Stella had her own flaws. She was prone to obsession and negativity.

Hector was like a ray of light, shining into Stella's imprisoned heart. Having seen light in the darkness, one would instinctively chase it. Little did they know that it was not light, but a mirage.

Hector and Jasper gave off completely different vibes.

Stella could feel Jasper's steady presence. Standing next to him gave her a sense of security, as if she didn't have to worry about too much.

Jasper knew she still had reservations, so he refrained from being overly affectionate. He gave her a kiss on the forehead, then opened the door. The light streamed in, illuminating her delicate features, like a red rose blooming in the snow. Back home, Stella changed her clothes and crawled into bed, her hand resting lightly on her forehead where he had kissed her. Her heart skipped a beat.

The potatoes hadn't been harvested yet when Katie showed up carrying a large bag.

"Stella, this is a growth accelerator that Mikey brought back. He said that if you mix it into the soil, it can speed up the growth of the potatoes, and you should be able to harvest them in about two months."

Mikey had brought back a bucket of the stuff. Katie generously poured half of it into a tub, "The community will distribute it in a few days, but with the amount you guys planted, it won't be enough." A growth accelerator?

In her past life, there was no such thing. Her potatoes had started to wilt under the sudden intense heat, and the harvested potatoes were no bigger than a fingernail, not even enough to fill a gap in her teeth.
