She wanted everyone to know that she had powerful backers, so that those who wanted to scheme against her would back down, otherwise they would face a lot of trouble in the coming years.

After the 'Rejuvenating Pill' wore off, Wenxi went to the roadside to wait for a bus. When the bus arrived, Wenxi boarded the bus that passed by the county hospital.

Wenxi left home early in the morning and arrived in the county town early as well. When she got off the bus, it was the working hours of people in the county town. When she arrived at the hospital, the doctors and nurses on the day shift had just arrived and were changing shifts. It was not yet time for the official start of work. Wenxi waited outside He Chen'an's office. After the doctors and nurses on the night shift had all gone home, she still did not see He Chen'an come over, so Wenxi left with her basket on her back.

Arriving near the tenement building, and waiting until it quieted down, Wenxi walked inside and then went up the stairs.

She had already decided that if anyone asked her what she was doing there, she would say she was visiting relatives. After all, these days, who doesn't have a few poor relatives in the countryside? As long as she could avoid misunderstandings, she was willing to pretend to be He Chen'an's poor relative.

Fortunately, she didn't encounter anyone along the way, and Wen Xi arrived at He Chen'an's dormitory without incident. She adjusted her breathing and then knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened, and He Chen'an, who had just woken up, was standing inside with messy hair and clothes, and was still a little dazed. When He Chen'an saw Wen Xi standing outside the door, he was instantly awake and then slammed the door shut.

"Ah..." Wenxi cried out in surprise as her nose suddenly hurt. She quickly covered her nose with her hand. It hurt so much that tears welled up in her eyes.

The next second, a long, slender, fair hand reached out, grabbed Wen Xi's arm, and pulled her inside. He Chen'an closed the door, no longer caring about his personal image, and bent down to examine Wen Xi's face. "Comrade Wen, where did you bump your head?"

He Chen'an lowered his head, and his breath sprayed all over Wen Xi's face, making her feel a little itchy. Wen Xi could even smell the scent in his breath. Although He Chen'an had just gotten up and probably hadn't washed up yet, there was no unpleasant smell.

Wen Xi opened her eyes wide and stared at the handsome face so close to hers.

It has to be admitted that He Chen'an is really good-looking. Not only is he handsome, but he also has a good figure. Even when he is wearing a plain nightgown, you can see his determination and uprightness. His long legs are particularly eye-catching. He doesn't give people a sloppy feeling at all. I don't know why he was hiding just now.

He Chen'an carefully examined the wound and said, "Your nose is red, but luckily the bridge wasn't injured. I'm sorry, I was too hasty just now. I apologize to you. As compensation, I'll treat you to dinner, how about that?"

Wen Xi awkwardly took a step back and shook her head. "Dr. He, I'm fine. I just came to get my lunchbox. Give me the lunchbox and I'll leave right away so as not to disturb your rest."

"Wait a moment." He Chen'an turned around and took Wen Xi's lunchbox. He washed the lunchbox clean, dried it, and put it in a cloth bag. You could see the shape of the lunchboxes inside from the outside of the bag. You could tell at a glance that there were six lunchboxes inside, not one missing.

He Chen'an handed the lunchbox to Wen Xi, "Comrade Wen, thank you."

"You're welcome. Didn't Dr. He help me before?" Wen Xi first took the things out of the basket and handed them to He Chen'an, and then took the lunchbox from He Chen'an. Afraid of disturbing He Chen'an's rest, she put the lunchbox in and turned to leave.

Everyone wants to take advantage of their time to rest during holidays, but she disturbed He Chen'an's peaceful sleep, which is truly a sin.

"Comrade Wen..." He Chen'an could only watch Wen Xi leave helplessly. Only after Wen Xi's figure disappeared at the stairwell did He Chen'an turn around and go back to his dormitory.

Looking at the small burlap sack in his hand, which was clearly cut and sewn, He Chen'an curiously opened it. He was quite surprised to see what was inside. He didn't expect there to be three large fish. He didn't know what kind of fish they were, but he could tell at a glance that they weighed at least a pound. There was also a bag of dried mushrooms and a bag of salted dried fish.

Thinking that it wasn't easy for her, a former educated youth sent to the countryside, to obtain these things, He Chen'an felt a pang of pity. She was completely different from those female comrades who wanted to get close to him.

When Wenxi went downstairs, she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and directly put the lunchbox in the system warehouse without even thinking about checking if there was anything inside.

Now that she's got her lunchbox back, the next step is to go to Yan Zheng's house. If she doesn't go today, she won't go for a while either, because there will definitely be a lot of people going to Yan Zheng's house before and after the New Year, and she doesn't want to run into anyone, lest they think she's trying to curry favor with the Yan family.

Her goal was simple: to get Yan Zheng to go to the countryside so that he would have someone back her up and prevent anyone from plotting against her again. She had no intention of using Yan Zheng or the Yan family.

Arriving at Yan Zheng's courtyard gate, Wen Xi knocked on the door. Soon, footsteps were heard, and then the gate opened. Yan's mother saw Wen Xi standing outside and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, you're here! That's so good! Lili talks about Xiao Xi all the time!"

"Aunt Yan," Wen Xi greeted her with a smile.

"Xiaoxi, come in quickly," Mother Yan greeted warmly.

Hearing the sound, Yan Lili put down her toys and ran out of the house. She then reached out and hugged Wen Xi's leg, looked up at her, and said happily, "Sister Xiaoxi, you're finally here! I asked Grandma to take me to the village to find Sister Xiaoxi, but Grandma just wouldn't take me."

Wen Xi reached out and touched Yan Lili's hair, saying gently, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and everyone is busy with New Year's preparations, so of course we don't have time. Lili, don't blame Grandma, okay? Your sister Xiaoxi is here to see you. Look what your sister Xiaoxi brought you."

Wenxi put down her basket, lifted the old cloth covering it, and Yan Lili exclaimed when she saw the big fish inside, "Wow, what a big fish! Sister Wenxi, how did you get such a big fish?"

I never expected children to be so curious; they actually asked where the fish came from.

Wenxi said with a smile, "This fish was exchanged by Sister Xiaoxi from someone in the village." Then she looked up at Mother Yan and said, "Aunt Yan, this fish was specially exchanged for Lili. I'll have to trouble you to cook it for Lili."

Wenxi was afraid that someone else would benefit from it, so she specifically explained that it was for Lili. Otherwise, Yan's mother might keep it to entertain guests. Yan's guests had nothing to do with her, so why should she satisfy everyone's appetite?
