Mia noticed Anya's sudden move and was startled. Andre hurried over to catch the nearly half-basket of cherries Anya had picked.

Leo, being tall, stood there and helped Anya untangle the branches caught in her dress hem. Finally, he extended his hand, "Take my hand, I'll lift you down."

Anya hesitated, thinking about her weight. "No, Chad, you can't carry me~"

"Stop the nonsense and get down here!" Leo shouted.

Anya, feeling a bit scared, looked at Leo with a pout, "Chad, I'm afraid I'll crush you, and we'll both get hurt."

In the end, Anya didn't let Leo carry her but took his hand and safely walked to the lower part of the tree. When she tried to jump down, Leo, without a word or giving Anya time to react, went straight to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her down. Anya's face turned crimson. "Chad-"

"You're nineteen, not four. I can handle it!"

Anya blushed even more.

The treetop that Anya had plundered looked as if it had never borne cherries, now only filled with green leaves.

Molly picked for a bit longer, and then Chad took her hand, guiding her down slowly.

Despite picking cherries together, Mia and Molly combined couldn't match Anya's speed.

Scott saw this and praised Anya, "You're a natural at this."

If it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't afford to hire Anya, Scott would have been tempted. Such efficiency in cherry picking, filling half a basket in no time, was invaluable for their work. Shortly after, Anya eyed another tree, knowing she had worried Chad earlier. "Chad, can I climb another tree?"
