"Qinghe, you're finally awake! You slept all day! You scared me to death!"
Are you hungry? We saved some food for you tonight, it's keeping it warm in the pot, I'll bring it to you!
"Uh... okay."
Wen Qinghe had plenty of food in her space, but she couldn't very well say she wasn't hungry in front of so many people.
Upon hearing this, Tang Lingling went to the kitchen.
After she left, Wen Qinghe looked at the unfamiliar old man in the room.
"And you are?"
Before Li Huaqing could speak, Yan Xiao answered for him.
“He is Li Huaqing, a doctor. I brought him here, and I will only tell others that he is your relative.”
Wen Qinghe understood immediately; they probably brought a doctor because she had been sleeping for too long and couldn't be woken up.
"I'm fine, I was just too tired, that's why I slept for so long. I'm sorry for the trouble!"
Looking at the girl who had just woken up with bright, sparkling eyes that seemed to hold a thousand stars, Li Huaqing couldn't help but sigh, "This brat has good taste!"
"Girl, do you feel any lighter?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Qinghe sensed that the previous oppressive feeling had lessened considerably.
She had just woken up and thought she wasn't feeling anything because she had just arrived...
"It's much better now; the pressure in my chest has eased a bit."
Li Huaqing stroked his beard, "It seems my acupuncture skills haven't deteriorated yet; it's been a long time since I've touched a needle..."
Wen Qinghe looked surprised and uneasy: "You...you didn't give me acupuncture, did you???"
She's afraid of needles; who knows how terrifying it is to get a needle prick!
As if sensing her fear, Yan Xiao gently comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, his acupuncture will help your condition. It will be once every three days, it won't be long. I'll be here for you from now on."
Wen Qinghe was surprised. Modern medical technology was nearly fifty years ahead of this place. Could it be that someone could now treat heart disease?
"Can it really be cured?"
If that's the case, it's not something she can't tolerate.
"Of course! With me here, as long as you don't suffer too much of a shock, I can guarantee you a peaceful life for twenty years."
Seeing that the girl had woken up, he couldn't stay any longer and was about to drag that brat out.
Yan Xiao stared at the girl with wide eyes, as if he might lose her at any moment.
Sigh, this kid has a long way to go!
He got up to give the two young people some space.
"I'm getting old and can't take it anymore, so I'll head back now. I'll come back in three days to give you acupuncture."
"Okay, thank you for your help~"
Wen Qinghe hurriedly got up to see him off, but Yan Xiao quickly pressed her shoulder down.
"You get some rest, I'll take you!"
The burning heat from the man's large hand made her tremble.
Even after the man had walked quite a distance away, the warmth on her shoulder seemed to linger.
Tang Lingling brought over the food and glanced around the room; no one was there anymore.
"Your relative has left?"
Wen Qinghe couldn't think of any relatives for a moment, like her aunt.
She didn't come!
Seeing her blank expression, Tang Lingling reminded her, "It's that old man!"
"Oh, he had to go back, but he'll come to see me again in a couple of days."
Tang Lingling thought of Yan Xiao, and then looked at the beautiful face in front of her. One was a country bumpkin, and the other was a delicate city girl.
She wanted to bring up everything that man had done during this time, but when facing this girl who was the same age as her younger sister, she couldn't help but feel more tenderness towards her.
He didn't want to push her into the tiger's den, and besides, the two of them seemed to be from two different worlds.
That man likes to make sacrifices quietly, so let him do it. Fortunately, Wen Qinghe isn't the one who'll suffer, since she's not going to be the one to help him.
...
"You little rascal, instead of spending time cultivating your relationship with your sweetheart, what are you doing following me around?"
Yan Xiao: You think I wanted this? It's just that he saw the young lady was about to get up and see her off.
"It's getting late, why don't you stay at my place?"
"That won't do! I'm not like you, all alone. My wife is waiting for me!"
This smug and boastful tone sounds like it came from an elderly doctor with high medical ethics.
Yan Xiao: ...
He regretted it and didn't want to deliver it anymore! Can he go back?
Looking at the sky, he went to Uncle Erniu's house to borrow an oxcart to take him back to town.
…
By the time Yan Xiao returned from town, it was already past ten o'clock. He first returned the oxcart, then looked in the direction of the educated youth settlement; the lights were already off.
I wonder if the little girl is asleep...
I haven't even had a few words with her tonight, and I really want to see her now.
…
Wen Qinghe slept for a long time after dinner and couldn't fall back asleep.
He then wanted to check her supplies in the space.
It turned out that the countdown had started again, with the same large hourglass as last time.
She looked excited; did this mean she still had a chance to go back?
Thinking back to her two time-travel experiences.
Does that mean she can go back every full moon night?
If that's the case, that would be wonderful!
…
Looking at the enormous bathtub in the supplies area.
This body hasn't had a proper, comfortable bath since it was sent to the countryside.
Water is scarce here, so she only does a quick wipe each time.
Fortunately, this little world belongs to her, so she doesn't have to worry about privacy issues.
…
Ten minutes later, she was happily taking a bath in the tub.
After soaking for half an hour, she got up, dried herself off, applied body lotion, and then changed into a brand new slip dress before leaving the room.
I wanted to sleep on the princess bed in the space, but then I realized that I couldn't see outside from inside the space.
