The three of them went back together afterwards. Luckily, Wenxi had prepared two dishes in advance when she made breakfast in the morning, otherwise they would not have been able to cheat today.
After returning home, Wenxi started cooking lunch. She placed the two dishes she had prepared in the morning on the steamer and then on the rice cooker. She also stir-fried garlic leaves with cured pork and made a vegetable and egg soup. That solved lunch for the day.
After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest. Wenxi locked the door, took out the first-aid kit, and rummaged through it. Sure enough, she found medicines labeled "Yangxin Capsules" and "Danshen Tablets." She didn't know if they were medicines she could take, but she couldn't just take the medicines to He Chen'an. Otherwise, He Chen'an would definitely ask her how she got the medicines in such a short time. So she decided to wait a little longer.
It's likely that the county hospital doesn't have this kind of medicine, otherwise why would He Chen'an have offered to prescribe traditional Chinese medicine seasoning for her? So she can only wait for a while, and then say that her family in Beijing sent it to her.
Afterwards, Wen Xi flashed into the system warehouse and began preparing what to release next. With the New Year approaching, everything was in demand, but she couldn't release vegetables and fruits here, so she could only release other things.
This time, Wenxi decided to sell feed ducks, which were semi-processed feed ducks bought from the vegetable market in Qinmijia Town. These ducks are ready for market in a little over a month, and each one weighs about three or four pounds. They also packaged nearly five thousand pounds of them.
She later had Qin Mi take her to a duck farm to stock up on a batch, so she still has a lot of these feed ducks in her hands, and it's impossible for her to sell them all so easily.
As for the pigeons, pigeon eggs, free-range chickens, ducks, and geese that she had hoarded at high prices, Wenxi planned to keep them for herself. After all, a lifetime is several decades long, and it might not be enough for the whole family to eat together, so she wouldn't sell these things.
At night, when Wenxi lay down to rest, she felt uncomfortable no matter how she lay, as if there were thorns on her body, and she had to turn over every few seconds.
Later, Wen Xi stopped sleeping and instead went into the system kitchen to start cooking crayfish. She had bought all the crayfish from crayfish farmers near Qin Mi's house, so she had enough crayfish to process for a long time. Eels, on the other hand, had to be put on the waiting list.
However, Wenxi was still a little uneasy while processing the crayfish, so she finished processing one batch and came out. She put on her coat and went to the yard, looking up at the night sky. The winter night sky was full of stars, each one looking very big and bright, which was especially beautiful.
For some reason, it seemed as if some unseen force was pushing Wenxi, and so Wenxi inexplicably opened the courtyard gate, and then saw He Chen'an standing quietly outside the gate. He just stood there, like a straight pine tree.
"He Chen'an, why are you standing here so late at night instead of sleeping?" Wen Xi asked in a low voice.
Everyone was asleep at this time, and the whole world was quiet. But in the darkness, it seemed that sounds could travel very far. Wenxi was afraid that others would hear her, so she deliberately lowered her voice.
"Xiaoxi, I want to talk to you, is that okay?" He Chen'an looked at Wen Xi, his dark eyes filled with pity, which was really easy to soften one's heart.
However, it no longer affects Wenxi, because Wenxi no longer likes him.
However, if a man and a woman were to stand together and talk late at night, and others saw them, the whole village would be buzzing about it the next day. So Wenxi had no choice but to let He Chen'an in.
However, instead of taking He Chen'an to her room, she took him to the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen, Wen Xi brewed a cup of tea for He Chen'an and placed it in front of him before sitting down opposite him. "He Chen'an, what do you want to say to me?"
He Chen'an reached out and grabbed Wen Xi's hand, his voice pleading, "Xiao Xi, let's not break up, okay? You are really important to me. I can't live without you. I miss you so much. I really wanted to come to the countryside to see you during this time, but I was afraid of affecting your reputation and causing you to be pointed at and gossiped about. That's why I applied to come to the countryside to provide medical support. I'll do anything as long as I can see you."
Wen Xi struggled for a while, but couldn't break free from He Chen'an's grasp, so she stopped struggling. He Chen'an was a decent person, and he probably wouldn't be violent towards her.
The problem between them stemmed from He Chen'an's distrust, and nothing else.
“Xiaoxi, I care about you so much. I’m afraid of losing you, and I can’t bear to lose you. So when that aunt told me you had another man, I was terrified that someone else would take you away. But as soon as I said those words, I regretted it. I know you’re not that kind of person. It was because I was so scared that I made you feel insulted because of my worries and fears. I’m sorry.” He Chen’an held Wenxi’s hand and shook it. “Xiaoxi, let’s not break up, okay?”
“He Chen’an, you work in a hospital, surrounded by young, beautiful, capable, and high-earning doctors and nurses. You chat every day, and even eat together, but I’ve never distrusted you. I never imagined that you would doubt me based on just one sentence from someone else. Does that mean I can’t make friends? Can’t I have my own social circle? If being in a relationship means I can’t even have friends, and can only have one partner, then I’d rather not be in a relationship at all. I don’t like having my life interfered with at all,” Wen Xi said angrily.
If being in a relationship means you can't talk to other people or make friends, then she won't be in that relationship!
A romantic partner is not as useful as a friend!
"Xiaoxi, I won't interfere with anything you do in the future. Let's not break up, okay?" He Chen'an's eyes were fixed on Wenxi.
He cared about Wenxi more than he realized; he really couldn't live without her.
"But I don't want to be in a relationship right now." Being in a relationship is really annoying and troublesome. It's better to be free and easy like this.
He Chen'an didn't know what to say for a moment, but he kept holding Wen Xi's hand and refused to let go, because he was afraid that if he let go, he would never have the chance to hold her hand again.
Neither of them spoke, and time passed by in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, He Chen'an finally spoke again, "Xiao Xi, I've never told you about my family situation. Actually, I wish you would never know these things, and I don't want to take you to meet them."
Wen Xi raised her eyebrows in confusion.
He Chen'an continued, "My parents got married with the help of their elders, but they didn't really have any feelings for each other. After I was born, my dad never came home again."
