Wang Nianqing actually had no intention of chasing a woman in the middle of the night. After all, he was actually on vacation now, a vacation he had finally earned, and he was really too lazy to move. "So, do you want to send someone to pick up your wife?"
Wang Yanzhou replied, "Not yet, let's see how the situation develops."
Upon hearing this, Wang Nianqing said, "Okay, then I'll have Zhong Qin secretly send someone to protect her."
"Don't let her notice."
Wang Nianqing smiled. Wasn't what he said just nonsense? Who was Hei Ya, and who was Xihe? Was it possible that they didn't notice? "You overestimate our people. It's impossible for me not to notice two masters like that around Tang Chen."
"Whatever."
...After a good night's sleep, when Tang Chen woke up, Xihe was still sleeping soundly with her head covered. Tang Chen saw the sunlight coming in from outside, and thought it was not too early, so he gently shook Xihe and said softly, "Xihe, get up."
Xihe turned over and replied tiredly with her eyes closed: "Get up, I still want to sleep for a while."
Tang Chen sat on the bed and thought for a moment, then lay down again: "Okay, I'll reluctantly sleep with you for a while."
After the black crows called several times, the two girls, urged by physiological factors, slowly got up. Tang Chen cleaned himself up first, helped Xihe wash her face, picked up a comb and started his day's work.
Xihe couldn't see her own appearance, nor did she know what she was like in Tang Chen's eyes. Because she couldn't see, she didn't have much feeling for appearance. But ever since she met Hei Ya, she had been pondering a serious question. If she didn't ask it this time, she was afraid she would never get the answer in her life: "A Chen, do you think Xin Zhai likes you more, or me more?"
Xihe's sudden question startled Tang Chen: "You're talking nonsense, of course it's you!"
Xihe took Tang Chen's hand as he combed her hair, sighed slightly, and frowned as she said, "But I always feel like it's a little different from what we thought."
Tang Chen's eye twitched. Did Black Crow go out to flirt with the young lady again, and was discovered by Xihe? "What's the difference?"
Xihe shook her head slightly and slowly let go of Tang Chen: "It's hard to explain the difference..."
Tang Chen gently tapped Xihe's forehead with a comb and said, "No wonder you can't get up. What have you been thinking about all day long?"
Xihe said somewhat disappointedly: "I always feel that he likes you more, and to me, he is more of a responsibility."
Xihe's sudden seriousness left Tang Chen unresponsive for a moment. When did this little fairy start to bother with these things? This wasn't right. "What did you just say? Did I hear it wrong?"
Xihe said: "Nothing, let's go shopping later, okay?"
"Going to the drugstore? Sure!"
As the sun set, Black Crow Boss, feeling suffocated by the weight of the mountain of things in his hands, threw everything he had in the ladies' room and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my god, what are you buying when you go out? Other girls buy clothes, jewelry, and makeup, but here, all you have is food and medicine, nothing else but medicine."
Tang Chen said with a smile: "We are different!"
Black Crow rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are so talented, why don't you sing it out loud?"
Tang Chen stretched out his foot and pretended to kick him: "You know I'm tone-deaf, don't even think about affecting my glorious image in Xihe's heart!"
Black Crow looked at Tang Chen's appearance with disdain and said, "You? Come on, if you still have an appearance, you're out of shape. Well, I won't clean up with you guys anymore. I'll go order the food. You guys can come down at your own time. I'm exhausted from this trip."
"I know, I know."
In the few days after this big purchase, Tang Chen and Xihe stayed in the room of the inn all day long to study the bottles and jars. Hei Ya was also happy to have some free time. Every day she would ask them to eat, or go to help Tang Chen buy flowers and change the water in the vases.
In just a few days, the raw materials bought from the herbal medicine shop and the flower shop were ground into powder and made into pills in Xihe's hands.
After using up the last bit of medicinal herbs, Xihe stood up and stretched his muscles: "Mission accomplished!"
Seeing this, Tang Chen asked excitedly, "Oh my, so what have we been busy with these days?"
Tang Chen asked a good question. Now, it was time for the fairy Xihe to start her sales pitch. Xihe casually picked up a small porcelain bottle from the table, poured out the contents, sniffed it, and explained, "Take one pill every month when you have a stomachache. Take twelve pills for a year straight, and you'll basically be pain-free. But remember, avoid spicy food for seven days before and after taking this medicine!"
Tang Chen's hands were almost shaking as he excitedly took the small bottle of pills. While making notes on the bottle, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, a miracle drug! By the way, what about this!"
After feeling the powder for a moment, Xihe explained, "It's the same scented powder I usually use. I put some indigo and orange powder in it. You can rub it on when you get pimples. It should be quite effective. I saw the recipe in a medical book. I've never had pimples, so I don't know how effective it is."
Tang Chen touched his chin, forehead, and the pimples on his eyebrows that had appeared from his recent excessive eating. Then he looked at Xihe's skin, which had always been as perfect as a peeled egg, and shook his head. "I don't know why, but when I heard you say that, I really want to hit you!"
Just as Tang Chen gnashed his teeth and threatened to hit someone, Xihe had already found the one she wanted from among the numerous bottles and jars: "I want to solemnly introduce this next one to you."
"Wow, the highlight, will the medicine you used to hurt yourself have the effect of bringing people back to life?" If Tang Chen remembered correctly, the thing in this small red porcelain bottle seemed to be mixed with Xihe's blood.
Xihe introduced it very seriously and in shock: "This thing is a laxative."
Tang Chen was stunned: "What the hell?"
Xihe knew Tang Chen wouldn't understand, so she tried to explain it in a simpler way. The drug had a similar effect to a laxative, though laxatives weren't as strong as this one. "Although it's a laxative, it's not just any laxative. If you take this, you'll die within three days."
"Oh my god, this is so dangerous!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen hurriedly and carefully marked the bottle and placed it somewhere far away from him to avoid accidental ingestion or contact.
Xihe said with a smile: "This is for your self-defense. As for how to use it, just add water or vegetables. It's all fine. Just do what you like."
Tang Chen swallowed his saliva and accepted the gift with great respect: "Um, thank you!"
“And this!”
