Stunning Check-in: A Carefree Life Begins in the Countryside

Xia An went to smoke first, then, remembering something, turned around and found Luo Shutong.

"Third Uncle, is there a carpenter in our village? I'd like to get a set of furniture made."

"I forgot to ask before, but Ye Zhiqing and the others should also need it, and the quantity should be quite large."

"In addition, we also need water tanks and buckets for carrying water. I wonder if that's possible?"

Luo Shutong pondered for a moment, "Kong Deming and Xie Liting are two carpenters in our village who specialize in making furniture. They can both do it."

"The craftsmanship is about the same, but there shouldn't be many readily available. You can ask Ye Zhiqing and the others how many they need first."

"If combining the two isn't enough, let them process some more."

"Alright!" Xia An nodded.

"Third Uncle, you two go ahead with your work."

"I saw that An, the educated youth, was also at the educated youth settlement, so I went over to check on Ye, the educated youth."

"Okay!" Uncle Luo nodded. "Actually, it's just a medical appointment, there's no need to be so careful."

Xia An smiled helplessly, lowering her voice slightly.

"Last time I drove someone home, I almost got reported. That bastard really scared me."

Uncle Luo shook his head. "That's true. You should go now."

"Um."

Xia An agreed and carried Bai Ling to the educated youth settlement.

Seeing him enter, Ye Wan'er glanced at An Lan, her voice somewhat timid.

"Sister Anlan, it's fine for you to stay outside. I'm afraid I'll feel a little embarrassed."

An Lan raised an eyebrow slightly. Ye Wan'er had already told her the acupuncture points.

Although she didn't think it was a big deal, Ye Wan'er was shy, so she didn't stay with her.

"Alright, you can go in now."

As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Ling in Xia An's arms, her eyes brightening slightly.

"Xia Zhiqing, let me hold you for you."

Xia An glanced down at Bai Ling, hesitated slightly, and said, "This little one is a bit shy around strangers, I wonder..."

He had barely finished speaking when he saw An Lan successfully take Bai Ling from him.

Bai Ling also appeared very well-behaved, lying quietly in her arms.

Xia An was slightly surprised. "Luo Yunshu and Xie Ling'er wouldn't let you hug them before, but you actually let them. It seems you like them quite a bit."

Hearing this, An Lan's eyes crinkled into a smile, seemingly quite pleased.

She glanced at Xia An, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Perhaps it feels there's something about me that it recognizes?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly lost in thought. "Perhaps it really is possible!"

Was it the depleted spiritual spring water, or his aura?

He really couldn't guess that!

He shook his head. "Then I'll have to trouble An Zhiqing to keep an eye on things for me."

"No trouble at all," An Lan smiled, "You guys go in quickly."

Xia An nodded and followed Ye Wan'er into the women's quarters.

He took out silver needles and disinfectant spring water, then sat down on the kang (heated brick bed).

Ye Wan'er glanced at him secretly, bit her lower lip lightly, and explained in a low voice:

"Xia, I didn't..."

"I know," Xia An smiled, looking at her gently.

"You're just too nervous, don't worry about it. Besides, I feel fine."

Ye Wan'er blushed, turned her head away shyly, her heart pounding like a deer.

What did Xia, the educated youth, say? It's so embarrassing!

Ye Wan'er cried out inwardly.

But then Xia An's voice came through, "Let's not talk about that anymore, let's begin today's treatment."

"Okay, okay."

Ye Wan'er snapped out of her daze and nodded quickly.

But she hesitated for a moment, then unbuttoned one more button and used a little more force.

Xia An smiled and did not refuse the blessing.

He began to perform acupuncture on Ye Wan'er, and Ye Wan'er started to pay attention to his expression.

In the women's quarters,

Everything seemed more harmonious, but the atmosphere was also a bit more ambiguous.

The first two times could be attributed to nervousness and carelessness, but what about this time?

Xia An recalled Li Yuxue's words and vaguely understood Ye Wan'er's intention.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Xia An withdrew the silver needle, hesitated slightly, and then bowed her head to complete an intimate check-in.

Ye Wan'er's pupils dilated, and seeing that Xia An was about to get up, she unconsciously pulled him back with both hands.

Xia An's eyes were smiling...

A short while later

Ye Wan'er straightened her disheveled clothes, her voice timid as she spoke.

"Xia, what do you think of me?"

"Good!"

Xia An smiled slightly. Before obtaining the Heart-to-Heart Seal skill last night, he didn't know what An Lan was thinking, so he tested her.

Now that he knows Ye Wan'er's thoughts, he naturally responds accordingly.

The rest is a matter for later.

Ye Wan'er's face flushed slightly. She glanced outside and spoke in a low voice.

"I don't dislike you. If you like me, we can talk."

Upon hearing this, Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly and whispered in her ear, "Wan'er, I can be responsible in matters of the heart, but I can't refuse. You should think it over carefully."

The scorching heat made Ye Wan'er a little flustered, and she didn't quite hear what Xia An said.

She nodded slightly. "I will consider it, and I also ask Xia Zhiqing to consider me."

Xia An smiled slightly, "Don't worry, if you don't mind, I won't refuse."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "That's enough for today. We can have another acupuncture session tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ye Wan'er slightly raised her eyes and smiled shyly.

"Can I have more acupuncture sessions?"

Xia An raised an eyebrow slightly, instantly understanding her thoughts, and couldn't help but smile.

"Can!"

After saying that, he patted her head and turned to leave the women's dormitory.

When An Lan saw him come out, she looked at him with a half-smile, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Wan'er is quite lovely!"

Xia An was slightly taken aback. As she took Bai Ling, she patted her imperceptibly.

An Lan glared at him, her face slightly flushed, but she didn't say anything more.

Seeing Ye Wan'er come out, and remembering her previous decision, she quickly spoke up:

"Xia, didn't you say you had an extra room?"

"The educated youth settlement is a bit crowded. Wan'er and I would like to rent a place for you to live, is that alright?"

Xia An was slightly taken aback, turned to look at Ye Wan'er, and looked somewhat puzzled.

Aren't you afraid of being talked about?

He had intended to let An Lan move in, but he was afraid of gossip about the two of them.

So I didn't make that suggestion, but I didn't expect An Lan to bring it up first.

An Lan shook her head and smiled, "If I were alone, I would indeed be a little scared, but isn't Wan'er with me?"

"If people still gossip about the two of us together, then there's really nothing more to say."

Xia An glanced at Ye Wan'er and saw that she was keeping her head down and not saying a word, seemingly a little nervous.
