Lying in bed, I don't know what time it was before I finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Chen Shi'an woke up, smacked his lips, and had to admit that being young is a good thing.

For no apparent reason, the image of Sister Hui's surging waves came to mind.

They were from the same village. Sister Hui was a few years older than him, but I heard she was divorced.

When he was in junior high school, Sister Hui had already gone out to work. She eventually married a man from the next village. Back then, she was always dressed beautifully when she came back from outside.

It had a significant impact on Chen Shi'an.

However, he hasn't been home for the past few years, and all he's heard about is that they got divorced, but he doesn't know the specific reasons.

She returned with her child and runs a small breakfast shop.

Chen Shi'an suddenly felt a little fortunate that he and Lin Qingxue didn't have a child. If they did, it would be a complete disaster.

Judging from how timid that little girl was last night, you can tell she's from a single-parent family! She's bound to be a bit timid in personality.

Get up and take a shower.

Early in the morning, Chen Shi'an carried a basin of cold water, shirtless. It has to be said, the body-strengthening technique really works. Chen Shi'an used to have a bit of a belly, but now he has a perfect eight-pack, the ideal body that women drool over and men dream of.

Putting her face aside, her figure alone would make any rich woman swoon.

Unfortunately, I have no intention of living off a woman in this lifetime.

The icy water splashed on my face and everywhere; the lightness and exhilaration were truly refreshing.

Footsteps sounded, and Chen Shi'an looked up to see Sister Hui's figure.

Wearing jeans, a pink short-sleeved shirt, her hair tied up, and light makeup, she vaguely resembled the person she used to be.

The short sleeves, stretched taut, accentuated her slender waist.

That figure is unmatched.

Shang Jiahui blushed as she looked at Chen Shi'an, especially since Chen Shi'an was shirtless and his muscles bulged with every movement of his arms.

She felt weak and powerless.

Her pretty face became even more radiant.

He secretly berated himself for being so spineless, but his eyes couldn't bear to look away.

Chen Shi'an picked up a towel, dried his hair, and said, "Sister Hui is here. Please sit down."

"Is the girl alright now?" Chen Shi'an asked with a smile!

"Yes, I was in too much of a rush last night and didn't have time to thank you."

"These are steamed buns that my sister made herself."

"Try it. If you like it, I'll make it for you every day from now on," Shang Jiahui said to Chen Shi'an with a smile.

Upon opening the bag, I found a food box containing steaming, golden-brown millet porridge with a fragrant aroma, four white meat buns, and a small dish of pickled vegetables.

"Alright, I'll try Sister Hui's cooking." Chen Shi'an didn't stand on ceremony and grabbed a meat bun, taking a bite.

"Delicious! Sister Hui's cooking skills are unmatched." Chen Shi'an gave a thumbs up.

"I'm glad you like it. If you do, I'll make it for you every day," Shang Jiahui said softly.

"No way, that's too much trouble," Chen Shi'an said, waving his hand.

"You saved the girl's life, which is the same as saving my life. What are a few steamed buns worth?" Shang Jiahui said softly.

"That won't do either, wouldn't that make me look like I'm repaying a debt of gratitude!"

"But these buns are really delicious. Sister Hui is beautiful and her cooking skills are amazing."

"How about this? You can cook from now on, and I'll pay you every day. Otherwise, I'll have to go home to eat every day, which is a hassle," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.

But Shang Jiahui's face was flushed red.

"Shi An, how could you be so naughty?" Shang Jiahui said, blushing.

After saying that, she didn't dare to look Chen Shi'an in the eye.

Chen Shi'an looked bewildered. Honestly, he was simply expressing his liking for her; he had no other intentions.

Do mature women always have so many thoughts?

"Ahem." Chen Shi'an coughed lightly and lowered his head to eat.

Shang Jiahui glanced at Chen Shi'an secretly, her eyes filled with shyness, and a bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"Shi'an, you're still young. Sister Hui has a child to take care of!"

"If you really like it, I'll come quietly when it's late at night," Shang Jiahui said softly.

This?

Chen Shi'an looked at Shang Jiahui, "So direct?"

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise.

"Sister Hui, you may have really misunderstood. I didn't mean anything by it." Chen Shi'an coughed lightly.

Shang Jiahui grew bolder and bolder, grabbing Chen Shi'an's hand.

"Sister Hui hasn't looked for anyone all these years, nor does she want to."

"Shi An, don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Shang Jiahui said softly.

When she finished speaking, her face was already as red as blood.

Chen Shi'an could tell that he was now a seasoned traditional Chinese medicine doctor, and what Shang Jiahui said was absolutely true.

Is it really that fast?

The scene from last night inexplicably came to mind, and my gaze involuntarily shifted downwards.

"Shi An, it's evening, not now."

"I like you." After saying that, Shang Jiahui glanced at Chen Shi'an longingly, then turned and left in a hurry.

Chen Shi'an watched Shang Jiahui's departing figure, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Sure enough, if you're too handsome, you're more likely to be pursued."

Thinking of Sister Hui's mature charm, Chen Shi'an suddenly felt a strange sense of anticipation for the evening.

He has kept himself pure and virtuous all these years with Lin Qingxue. In fact, he is not a frivolous person at heart. Of course, it's also because he has been eating too well these past few years.

Putting everything else aside, Lin Qingxue is undeniably beautiful, and she has a great figure too.

"Hey, what's a divorced man afraid of?" Chen Shi'an sighed inexplicably.

Sister Hui is pretty and clean-cut; she seems quite nice.

I can't let this young and energetic body down every day!

Waking up and standing up every morning isn't a pleasant experience either.

After finishing four steamed buns and a bowl of millet porridge, Chen Shi'an was about half full.

After improving my physical fitness, I can really eat a lot.

After getting dressed, I sat down at the table, picked up my phone, and started scrolling through short videos out of boredom.

As for medical books, there's no need to read them.

There's a saying that if you advise someone to study medicine, you'll be struck by lightning—and that's certainly true.

Traditional Chinese medicine! It's difficult to get started, and even more difficult to master it. The knowledge within is vast and boundless. I'm afraid that even if you spend your whole life studying it, you might not be able to achieve anything.

However, he didn't have that concern; he had the system.

No need to learn, the system will provide it.

The day began in utter boredom. At ten o'clock in the morning, someone finally came in—an aunt from the east end of the village. Chen Shi'an forgot her name.

However, at this age, he should be a member of the village's intelligence station.

"Shi'an is here." The woman smiled at Chen Shi'an.

"Sit down, are you feeling unwell?" Chen Shi'an asked with a smile.

"My stomach has been hurting for the past two days. I've taken medicine, but it's not getting better," the woman said softly after sitting down.

Chen Shi'an gestured for the woman to place her hand on the pulse-taking pillow.

Place your fingers on your pulse.

"The pulse is like a taut string." Chen Shi'an's expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely surprised.

Looking at the other person's expression, Chen Shi'an said softly, "Stick out your tongue!"

"Does your breath taste strange?" Chen Shi'an asked.

"Hmm!" The woman nodded, her expression showing a hint of nervousness.

"Shi'an, is this a good illness?" the woman asked, looking at Chen Shi'an.

His tone was unusually urgent and tense.

"It's nothing, just poor blood circulation and catching a chill. I'll prescribe some medicine for you," Chen Shi'an said with a smile.
