The next day, before Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went out, Shen Yanming put the spices into a hollowed-out incense ball, lit it, and hung it on Bi Qiaoan's belt.

Bi Qiaoan touched the antique-style hollowed-out ball, feeling incredibly happy.

Seeing that Bi Qiaoan's joy was undisguised, Shen Yanming smiled and said, "There are plenty in the space. Wear whatever you like. Our ancestors left us a new one every day, and we could wear them all in a lifetime."

"Hehe, we can't be too flashy. This silver openwork incense ball is just right. The material is ordinary, the design is perfect, and the function is just right."

Shen Yanming smiled and put his arm around Bi Qiaoan as they left. This was their tenth day clearing the white chrysanthemums in Hucheng County, and they had already cleared two-thirds of them.

After arriving in Hucheng County, the two of them entered the Baixia Yellow Flower Forest without waiting for everyone else to join them. They quickly cleared a large area of ​​it.

Around noon, Shen Yanming called Bi Qiaoan aside and examined her carefully; no new red bumps had appeared.

Bi Qiaoan smiled and hugged Shen Yanming, "My husband is amazing. I didn't even feel any little bugs flying around me today."

Shen Yanming was relieved. "I don't know why, but when we were together, bugs always bit you. Now it's good, you won't have to worry about bug attacks anymore."

Bi Qiaoan nodded with sparkling eyes, "Yes, yes, I will definitely be the most beautiful sight this summer!"

After spending some time together, the two went back to have lunch with everyone. The aromatherapy ball around Bi Qiaoan's waist immediately caught the attention of the girls.

Qin Yiren looked at Bi Qiaoan and asked, "What is this? It's so beautiful!"

“Scented balls, you can buy them online!” Bi Qiaoan had already checked and found that there were many antique-style scented balls online that looked similar to the one she was wearing.

Bi Qiaoan thought that it was only because the space was so powerful that it looked brand new after so many years. Although the thing she was wearing was an antique, it didn't show any signs of age.

Qin Yiren leaned closer to Bi Qiaoan and sniffed, "Huh, you smell."

"Oh, it's just that I used spices, they say it's to repel mosquitoes, you can buy it online." Although the one online is definitely not this, "online" is a perfect excuse.

Qin Yiren nodded, picked up her phone and started searching for similar items. Ye Xiaoxiao and Xia Ran also joined in, asking Qin Yiren to place an order for them.

After finishing their meal, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan rested for a while before continuing their work.

For the next few days, Bi Qiaoan wore the aromatherapy ball every day, and the effect was indeed very good; Bi Qiaoan was never bitten again.

Qin Yiren and Ye Xiaoxiao also received the aromatherapy balls they ordered online, but after burning them for two or three days, the insects still bit them.

"Qiao An, which store did you buy the spices from? How come they work so well?"

Qin Yiren grabbed Bi Qiaoan's arm, looking at her with teary eyes, "Look at my face, there are more and more bumps on it, can you help me buy some things?"

Bi Qiaoan panicked a little and quickly looked at Shen Yanming. Seeing him nod slightly, she said, "The store I bought from has limited quantities, so I can only buy a little bit for you."

Qin Yiren excitedly hugged Bi Qiaoan, "Yes, yes, as long as I can get through these few days!"

That evening, Shen Yanming went into his space again to make spices. He had already given the ones he made before to Zhang Heping and the others, and he only kept enough for Qiao An to use for a year.

Bi Qiaoan touched the finished product made by Shen Yanming, looked at the time, and realized it was already late at night. She looked at Shen Yanming with heartache and said, "I'm afraid that if we start this, we'll inevitably have to make spices for everyone in the future."

Shen Yanming rubbed Bi Qiaoan's head. "Just this once, I plan to give the prescription to Zhang Chenjun."

"That's great! Handing it over to the Qinghe Alliance can be considered our contribution to the country!"

As Bi Qiaoan had predicted, in the following days, her colleagues at work all asked her to buy spices on their behalf.

Helpless, Bi Qiaoan was heartbroken, but on the surface, she smiled and presented everyone with a spice dish made by Shen Yanming.

However, the effect was quite obvious. Ever since everyone started using the spices, no one has been bitten by insects anymore.

In late April, the hundred acres of white chrysanthemums were finally cleared away, and Director Zhu specially gave everyone two days off to rest and relax.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan thought they could finally get some rest, but to their surprise, Bi Qiaoan's waist was both sore and itchy the next night.

Shen Yanming gently lifted Bi Qiaoan's pajamas and saw more than a dozen transparent bubbles on Bi Qiaoan's waist. "This is... an insect bite?"

"How could that be? I carry an aromatherapy ball with me every day."

"Perhaps it's the spices that are ineffective?"

Bi Qiaoan hugged Shen Yanming, her voice trembling with sobs, "It's not your fault. I feel unwell; it must be something wrong with my body."

Shen Yanming felt extremely distressed, but was powerless to help. "Sweetie, go to sleep first. We'll go find Zhang Heping first thing tomorrow morning."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, closed her eyes, and tried to sleep, but she couldn't get any rest all night.

Finally, dawn broke, and Shen Yanming cooked some congee with preserved egg and lean pork for Bi Qiaoan. After the two ate breakfast, they went to the hospital.

Zhang Heping immediately recognized it as shingles. "What did you do? You got infected with the virus. Have you been under a lot of stress lately?"

Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "It's just that the work is a bit tiring every day, but there's not much pressure."

"That means you didn't get enough rest, and your immunity dropped, which allowed the virus to take advantage of your weakness. I'll take you to get some medicine in a bit."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, but Zhang Heping thought about it and still took the two of them to see Grandpa Lin.

Grandpa Lin took Bi Qiaoan's pulse, glared at Shen Yanming, and then said, "It's been almost a year, and your wife still isn't pregnant. You can't do this!"

Shen Yanming...I respect you as a master of traditional Chinese medicine, so I won't hold it against you!

Looking at Shen Yanming's dark face, Old Master Lin laughed as if he had succeeded in playing a prank. "Young lady, have Heping take you to get some Western medicine later to treat this 'dragon's rib pain' more or less. Then come back to me and I'll treat you."

Bi Qiaoan smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Grandpa Lin!"

Then she took a metal box out of her bag and said, "This is a gift from my husband to you, Tieguanyin tea!"

Grandpa Lin opened the box and took a sniff. "Oh my, this tea is quite good! You know how to cater to our tastes! Hehe, since that's the case, then Grandpa will take good care of your health and try to get you two to become parents soon!"

Bi Qiaoan's cheeks flushed red, and she once again wished she could bury her head in the ground. She didn't know why the old man, who hadn't seen them for almost a year, was still thinking about them having a child...

After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got the medicine from the pharmacy, they were about to go home when they ran into Zhang Chenjun in the lobby.

"What are you doing here?" Zhang Chenjun asked with a smile.
