Chapter 851
Ryan stared at Sherry with a suspecting gaze. "If she was wrong about you, what are you doing here?"
She was wearing her shirt with the top two buttons undone, exposing part of her cleavage. There was a deep gap between her breasts. The summer shirt she wore was something Ryan grabbed from the ghost ship. They had no idea which era it was originally from, and it had a weird design that looked modern.
Other than the shirt, she was also wearing a short skirt and a pair of crocodile boots. With her hair on her right shoulder, she looked casual and alluringly sexy at the same time. What surprised Ryan the most was how red her lips looked.
She looked nervous under his gaze and kept her head down while combing her hand through her hair.
"I couldn't sleep when I went back just now. Can't I come out for some fresh air?"
"You couldn't sleep, huh?" he asked suspiciously.
She raised her voice but still sounded unconfident. "That's right. I couldn't sleep!"
Suddenly, Ryan grinned and showed her the bottle of wine. "Since you can't sleep, you can watch the cornfield with me. We can talk while we enjoy some wine. Otherwise, I'll be bored to death."
Sherry immediately said happily, "I can drink some and get myself sleepy!"
She showed her true colors right away when she became so excited. Ryan knew why she would say she was tired earlier and how she was heading back to get some sleep. She didn't want Camelia to know she wanted to be with him.
Seeing how she was dressed sexily, her intentions were obvious.
Ryan instinctively touched his waist. He had tried various positions with Camelia in the cellar earlier that day, and he couldn't feel his waist anymore. He wondered if he could re-energize himself with some tiger bone wine to get himself hard again. Otherwise, Sherry would be disappointed.
They found a patch of grass next to the cornfield to sit on. They couldn't be too close to the corn, or they would scare away the animal secretly eating it. However, if they were too far away, they wouldn't be able to see what animal it was.
After Ryan took a seat, he lit his cigar and took two puffs before drinking some wine.
"Sherry, did you not hear any animals at night? After all, you're staying so close to the cornfield."
She tried to think about it. "There's not much going on at night. All I can usually hear are the birds. Could it be some kind of bird that's secretly eating the corn? My scarecrow worked great after I set it up. Do you want to try that again?"
After she said that, she grabbed his bottle and took a little sip. Although it was just a tiny sip, it still tasted strong. When the wine entered her throat, she could feel her face and body turning hot.
She undid another button and fanned herself, hoping to get some cold air into her body. Ryan glanced at her from the side and saw her nipples. He pretended not to see anything and continued staring at the corn.
"A scarecrow is effective against birds, but it might not be useful if there's another type of animal. We need to see what has been eating the corn first. Then, we'll come up with a plan to chase the animal away based on what it is."
All Sherry could think about at that moment was connecting with him, and she casually asked, "Do you think it was a boar?"
"A boar?" He laughed. "Would a boar climb that high to grab the corn? If it were a boar, the corn stalks would've been snapped in half first. But when we checked earlier, none of them were snapped. Hey, Sherry, can you be more serious when giving ideas?"
She smiled awkwardly and took another sip of the wine. "Then, what do you think it is?"
"Whatever it is, it definitely can fly." Ryan was certain. "As for what animal it really is, I need to gather more information."
After taking three sips of wine, Sherry's forehead was covered in sweat. She undid another button.
"This wine sure is potent. I'm already sweating!"
