Qin Mi reluctantly let go of her after that, and now there was no restraint or concealment in his eyes.
Wen Xi returned to her bed, lay down, covered herself with the blanket, and then turned to her side, her back to Qin Mi. She was too embarrassed to face Qin Mi, who was on the cot next to her.
Qin Mi, on the other hand, was facing Wen Xi, and he could see her back as soon as he opened his eyes. He was content.
The next morning, when Wenxi woke up, Qin Mi was no longer in the room. She saw a new watch next to her, picked it up and glanced at it. It was only six o'clock. Qin Mi probably left around five o'clock.
To avoid being late for work, I can leave earlier in the morning.
She told him that running back and forth like this was too tiring and that he shouldn't do it, but he insisted on doing it anyway. He's just as stubborn as Qin Mi in the mission world.
Wen Xi couldn't sleep or lie still, so she got up early. She went to the kitchen to boil water. As for breakfast, she didn't dare to make it. If she did, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue would nag her endlessly. Since she was a patient now, she might as well be a good patient!
After the water boiled, Wenxi first filled the thermos with water, then filled the three teacups with hot water, and then washed up. After washing up, she made herself a cup of milk and drank it.
Shen Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes as she came out of her room. Seeing Wen Xi sitting in the main room, she was somewhat surprised. "Xiao Xi, why are you up so early?"
"I went to bed early and woke up early. The morning air is fresh, so I got up to breathe in some fresh air." Wenxi pushed the teacup over. "This is for you."
Wenxi had brought out milk before, so she knew what it was at a glance. "Why are you making this for me? You can keep it for yourself!"
"We should share the good fortune, so just drink it if it's offered to you. Why all the nonsense?" Wen Xi smiled.
With her around, how could she possibly mistreat her best friend?
After drinking her milk, Shen Jiaojiao went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She simply cooked noodles and added a poached egg. While eating breakfast, Shen Jiaojiao said, "Xiaoxi, you should rest well at home and not touch anything. I will come back at nine o'clock to kill an old hen and make you some old hen soup for lunch."
"Okay, I promise I'll be good and let you take care of me for a while." She had originally planned to cheat using the system's kitchen, but she didn't expect Qin Mi to have already arranged everything for her, so she had no way to cheat.
After breakfast, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue finished their housework and then went to the watermelon field. It was already May, and the fields and hills were covered in green. Everywhere was lush and green, giving people a strong sense of vitality and anticipation for a bountiful harvest at the end of the year.
The watermelon field was lush and green, with watermelon vines almost covering the ground. Captain Qian was overjoyed to see this. Although the people responsible for growing watermelons didn't spend much time in the field, they had to admit that the watermelons were being taken very well.
The watermelons aren't ready to ripen yet. Right now, all that's needed is weeding and fertilizing, so Wenxi doesn't need to worry about anything. By the time the watermelons ripen, Wenxi will be much healthier, and then she can come to the watermelon field to share her experience with everyone.
As Wen Xi was reading on the bed, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. She put away her study materials and went out. "Who is it?"
"Sister Xiaoxi, it's me, Donghua." Donghua's voice came from outside.
Wenxi hurriedly opened the courtyard gate and saw Donghua standing alone outside. She was a little surprised. "Donghua, what brings you here today? Don't you have classes today?"
"Sister Xiaoxi, are you taking a break today?" Donghua said with a smile, then handed the basket in her hand to Wenxi, "Sister Xiaoxi, this is for you."
"What's this?" Wenxi looked curiously at the contents of the basket. It was fresh mushrooms, with ten eggs underneath them. The mushrooms were still covered in dew, showing that Donghua had gone up the mountain to pick them early in the morning.
"Donghua, thank you. You're still young, so you need to rest more, take good care of your health, and study hard to change your life through education. Xiaoxi is a grown-up, so she doesn't need to worry about you, understand?" Wenxi patted Donghua's head, invited her in, and made Donghua a cup of milk.
Wenxi hadn't expected that an eleven-year-old girl would care about her so much. However, considering that she had saved her and helped her afterward, she could understand why Donghua was dependent on her.
When Donghua returned, Wenxi packed her some dried persimmons, candied winter melon, and kiwi slices. Children love to eat snacks, and these snacks were homemade, clean, and hygienic, so she could eat them without worry.
Around nine o'clock, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue returned. They first soaked the dried mushrooms in warm water, and then the two of them worked together to slaughter one of the old hens that Qin Mi had brought back the night before. After processing it, they took it to the kitchen to start stewing the old hen soup.
Shen Jiaojiao was worried that Wen Xi was hungry, and asked if Wen Xi wanted to have a bowl of steamed egg custard first. Wen Xi shook her head and refused. Although she was a patient, she didn't need to be treated so specially.
After digging up the treasure, the large pit left behind was filled with soil by Qin Mi's people. Wen Xi saw that the soil was of good quality and felt that it should be quite nutritious, so she thought about planting some cucumbers, eggplants, green peppers, tomatoes, and green beans there.
Although it's a bit late to plant now, the later you plant, the later you eat. Once the first batch is finished, the second batch can be eaten too.
"Xiaoxi, what are you doing?" Shen Jiaojiao came out and saw Wenxi squatting on the ground planting vegetables. She hurriedly came over and pulled Wenxi up. "If there's anything you need, just tell us. Why do you, a patient, have to do it yourself?"
"Okay, then help me plant the vegetable seedlings I pulled up. I'm going back to my room to rest." Wenxi only wanted to do something because she felt she had nothing to do right now. If she felt unwell, she would definitely stop.
Fortunately, Wenxi usually takes care of the vegetable garden. Wenxi said that these seedlings were pulled over and they wouldn't have noticed. In fact, she took them from the system warehouse, and they were the seedlings she signed up for in the first year!
Wen Xi washed her hands and went back to her room. She took out her study materials and started reading again. She didn't want her family to worry about her returning to the city. She just wanted to return to the city openly and honestly through her own efforts.
With just over a year left until the college entrance examination, she needs to seize the time to review. She will also need to guide Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue in their studies, so time is very precious.
During lunch, Wenxi took a sip of chicken soup and gave a thumbs up, saying, "Jiaojiao, your cooking skills are really amazing."
Shen Jiaojiao smiled brightly, "Isn't that because you, my master, taught me so well? I couldn't have made such dishes before."
