After riding for a while, when they reached a place far from the village, He Chen'an put his feet on the ground and stopped the bicycle. His long legs held the bicycle and himself firmly in place.
"What's wrong?" Wen Xi turned to look at He Chen'an, puzzled.
Wen Xi has a pair of very beautiful eyes, with dark pupils and thick eyelashes like a small brush, which make people's hearts flutter.
He Chen'an wrapped his arms around Wen Xi's waist, pulling her close to his chest, and gazed at her intently. He truly, truly loved her.
"Chen'an, what's wrong?" Wen Xi, who was hugging He Chen'an, patted He Chen'an's back and asked worriedly.
"Xiaoxi, it's so good to have met you." He Chen'an shook his head, then buried his head in Wenxi's neck. A faint fragrance made him feel incredibly refreshed on this early summer morning.
Wen Xi chuckled, then hugged He Chen'an's waist, finding it quite pleasant.
She has never experienced happiness, so she doesn't know if happiness is like this, but right now she really feels very happy and wonderful.
After embracing for a while, He Chen'an took a step back and looked at Wen Xi with deep affection. Wen Xi felt very embarrassed by his gaze, and a blush rose on her cheeks.
He Chen'an felt a warm, throbbing sensation in his heart. His missing piece of heart was filled from the moment she appeared.
Wen Xi smiled and nudged He Chen'an's arm. "Shouldn't we be heading out soon? Everyone'll be up soon. What if someone goes to town and sees us when they pass by?"
He Chen'an put his arm around Wen Xi, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke up, "Xiao Xi, there's something I want to ask you to confirm, because I don't want there to be any misunderstanding between us."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow curiously. "What is it?"
A hint of unease flashed across He Chen'an's face. "When we went on our last date, I remember you bought three sets of men's clothing, but you only gave me two. Who did you give the other one to?"
It wasn't that he didn't trust her; it was that he wouldn't feel at ease until he understood the situation. He loved her so much, and he was afraid that another man would take her away from him.
To others, she might just be a woman, but to him, it wasn't like that. He had long regarded Wenxi as the most important person in his life, not just an ordinary woman.
That feeling was like spiritual nourishment, a spiritual sustenance. Once he lost it, he felt that he might lose the will and strength to keep living.
“My brother is in Northeast China. I asked him to help me find some local villagers to exchange for some ginseng. But I was afraid that if I sent the money directly, it would get lost, so I bought him a set of clothes, sewed pockets on them, and put the money in them to send to him,” Wen Xi explained.
Although Jin Changfeng is not her biological brother, they have already had a family reunion meal witnessed by everyone, so from now on, Jin Changfeng is her biological brother.
Moreover, she never had any romantic feelings for Jin Changfeng from the beginning; she only admired, loved, and respected him because he was a soldier who protected the country, and it was because of them that everyone could have a peaceful life.
As for how she and Jin Changfeng became siblings, Wen Xi decided not to tell He Chen'an, lest he overthink it and assume that she and Jin Changfeng had some kind of relationship.
If she liked Jin Changfeng, she would have accepted him when he confessed. How could He Chen'an possibly have had a chance?
"So that's how it is." He Chen'an smiled happily, as if the dark clouds had dispersed, revealing a clear and transparent sky.
Wen Xi reached out and touched He Chen'an's hair. With such excellent qualities, he didn't feel secure at all. She had nothing, but she wasn't worried at all. Maybe it was because she was rich and had a strong financial foundation!
After their day date ended, He Chen'an looked like he hadn't had enough. One day really wasn't enough. He wished they could be together every day.
But jobs in the city are really hard to find. There are so many openings, and he's asked around but hasn't heard anything good.
If Wenxi could marry him now, it wouldn't matter if she didn't have a job. They could buy a house near the hospital and live there together. His salary was high enough to support a family and cover her expenses. However, she had clearly stated before that she wouldn't get married too early, which means that this path is not feasible. The two of them can only live apart temporarily.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Wen Xi asked, amused.
"I didn't expect the day to pass so quickly." He Chen'an said with a displeased look. Eating, watching a movie, taking a walk in the park, and the day was over just like that.
Wen Xi looked at He Chen'an with amusement, feeling that she had had a very fulfilling day.
"How about next time I have a day off, I'll switch shifts with a colleague and have two days off in a row. I'll take you to the provincial capital for fun, what do you say?" He Chen'an's eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs, full of hope.
Wen Xi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm afraid it won't work. The wheat harvest will be soon, and it's a very important thing. I can't rest. After the wheat is harvested, we have to plant corn, then transplant rice seedlings, and soon we'll have to do the double harvest. So I probably won't have the chance for the next two or three months."
Although she really wanted to visit the provincial capital, the situation simply didn't allow it!
Wen Xi held He Chen'an's hand and said, "We'll definitely have a chance to go to the provincial capital."
It wasn't until after 10 p.m. that the two reluctantly parted ways. This time, He Chen'an escorted Wen Xi directly to the big jujube tree, and only turned and left when darkness completely swallowed Wen Xi's figure.
After that, whenever He Chen'an had a break, the two of them would go out on dates.
Time passed day by day, and soon it was May. Although May Day was designated as Labor Day decades ago, there is no holiday at this time, and everyone goes to work as usual.
That day, when the postman came to deliver the mail to Wenxi, he also brought a large package. Wenxi quickly handed the letter she wanted to send to the postman and signed for it. Seeing that the address on it was from Northeast China, Wenxi was overjoyed.
After closing the courtyard gate and entering the kitchen, Wenxi excitedly used scissors to open the package. Jin Changfeng had indeed replaced the ginseng for her. Inside were four hundred-year-old ginseng roots, six ginseng roots around fifty years old, and twenty ginseng roots under fifty years old, ranging from ten to forty years old.
Wen Xi hadn't expected that a thousand yuan could buy so much ginseng. She even wanted Jin Changfeng to help her exchange it again. After all, ginseng was a valuable commodity. Even if she didn't need it herself, it was good to stock up on more if she had the means.
The package also contained a large bag of dried mushrooms and dried wild vegetables...
