After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

"Let's eat out."

Shen Ruo looked pitiful, her lips slightly pouting, "Even when we eat out, we can only get bland food, what good food is there..."

"Right now I want to eat hot pot, grilled fish, spicy hot pot, boiled sliced ​​pork..."

Qi Wenshen walked over and glanced down at her neck, which was covered with a layer of tiny blisters. "Light food tastes good too. I'm sure you'll like the place I took you to."

Shen Ruo looked at him with some doubt, but finally stood up.

Let him go; it's better than staying home and eating plain porridge.

Qi Wenshen drove out of the city and turned onto a country road. The fields on both sides of the road stretched into a gray-green wave in the twilight, and the air was filled with the smell of soil and grass.

Shen Ru rolled down the car window a crack, and the wind blew in and blew on her face, making her squint her eyes in comfort.

The car stopped in front of a farmhouse courtyard.

Agui Farm.

A middle-aged man wearing an apron was busy at the stove in the yard. Hearing the car, he looked up, nodded to Qi Wenshen, and said, "Dr. Qi is here? Come in and sit down."

Qi Wenshen went over and said a few words to the boss.

Shen Ruo only heard the words "light" and "stewed soup".

The owner glanced at Shen Ruo, nodded, and smiled憨厚ly, "Don't worry, I may not have much else here, but my vegetables are fresh and guaranteed to be delicious."

Shen Ruo sat down at the wooden table under the grape trellis. A yellow dog was lying on the ground next to her, wagging its tail. She reached out and touched the dog's head. The dog squinted its eyes and wagged its tail even more enthusiastically.

She suddenly realized that even if it's simple, the environment is worth it.

When the dishes were served, Shen Ruo was still amazed.

Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, stewed potatoes and eggplant, steamed chicken, plus a pot of chicken soup with poisonous bamboo fungus.

Shen Ruo picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth.

Their eyes lit up.

"It's delicious."

Qi Wenshen ate in a refined and polite manner.

"The vegetables here are all grown by the owner himself. They are not sprayed with pesticides or any random additives, so they are healthier to eat."

"The chickens over there are free-range, and the fish are caught fresh from the pond. Wait until your neck is healed before eating them; the fish will be especially fresh."

Shen Ruo looked up, suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you're about to give up?"

The owner happened to be passing by and, upon hearing this, smiled and chimed in, "Dr. Qi, if your girlfriend doesn't believe my food is good, take her to the farm after we finish eating. Let her see the vegetables I grow and the chickens, geese, and ducks I raise. I guarantee she'll want to come back next time."

Qi Wenshen nodded.

Shen Ruo shuddered.

Want to take a walk around the farm?

My neck isn't healed yet.

If she inflicts new wounds on her old ones, will she even want to live?

"No, no, no! What if I get bitten by bugs if I go?"

The boss was amused by her alarmed expression and waved his hand, "Alright, alright, come back when you're better."

It was almost nine o'clock when we got back to the city after dinner.

After finishing her main meal, Shen Ruo lay under the grape trellis, unwilling to leave. She decided to stay there and have dinner before returning.

The two entered the house one after the other. When Shen Ruo was changing her shoes, she paused for a moment. The tingling and itching sensation on the back of her neck surged up again, as if countless ants were marching in a line under her skin.

She reached out to scratch it, but just as her fingers lifted, Qi Wenshen's voice drifted from behind her, "Don't scratch."

Shen Ruo awkwardly lowered her hand.

"Go take a shower, and I'll apply the medicine afterward."

Shen Ruo nodded and walked towards her room. After taking a couple of steps, she suddenly turned back and said, "Um... I'll take a shower myself. You... you don't need to come in."

Qi Wenshen looked at her wary expression, his lips twitched slightly, and he said in a flat tone, "I'm not planning to help you wash tonight."

Shen Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.

"but……"

Shen Ruo's breath caught in her throat.

"Don't soak for too long. If you soak for too long, I'll go in and help you. You know how I help you."

Shen Ruo's pretty face flushed red instantly.

She strode into the room, closed the door, and clicked the lock shut.

Qi Wenshen's brow twitched when he heard the lock click.

Is it necessary to guard against this little woman so closely?

If he really wanted to do something to her, he would have done it last night. What can a door stop him from doing?

Shen Ruo went into the bathroom and quickly took a shower.

She didn't dare to soak in the water, so she wrapped her hair in a hair drying cap, picked up the showerhead and rinsed it for about ten minutes, carefully avoiding the back of her neck. Then, wrapped in a bath towel, she opened the closet door to find her pajamas.

Pleasant Goat's dress has a high collar, which will touch the wound, so she can't wear it.

Her hand circled the wardrobe before finally landing on the thin, lace camisole nightgown.

You can't go out naked, can you?

She gritted her teeth, tore off the nightgown, and put it on.

Shen Ruo slipped on her slippers and left the room.

In the corridor, Qi Wenshen had already taken a shower and was wearing a gray silk nightgown. His hair was half-dry, with a few strands hanging down his forehead, making him look very disheveled.

He was looking down at his phone when he heard footsteps and looked up.

Shen Ruo stood at the bedroom door, the dim yellow light shining from behind her, bathing her in a warm glow.

She was wearing a lace slip dress, her collarbone and shoulders completely exposed, her skin flushed with a light blush from just having showered.

With each breath, the crimson hue rose and fell slightly, partially concealed by the thin lace fabric.

She took a step forward, and a wave of dampness carrying the scent of peaches washed over her. Her hair swayed, and the edges of her lace were faintly visible.

Like a soft net, it enveloped him.

Qi Wenshen's throat tightened.

He watched as Shen Ruo walked up to him, the scent of peaches growing stronger, so strong that he felt he couldn't breathe properly.

He stood up, gripped his phone tightly for a moment, then released it.

This isn't the first time I've seen her wear this dress.

But the visual impact is different each time.

Shen Ruo whispered, "Cousin, I'm done rinsing. Wasn't that quick?"

Qi Wenshen hummed in agreement.

He took her hand and led her into his room.

Qi Wenshen's room, like himself, was simple and austere.

Qi Wenshen unscrewed the cap of the medicine bottle, dipped a cotton swab in the medicine, and gently applied it to the blistered skin on the back of her neck.

The moment the medicine touched the blister, Shen Ruo couldn't help but hiss, feeling a sharp pain in her neck.

She shrugged slightly, her voice softening involuntarily, drawn out like a long, thin strand of sugar, "Ouch, be gentle..."

The voice was like a small hook, burrowing into Qi Wenshen's ear. He paused for a moment as he applied the medicine, his gaze shifting from her neck to below her collarbone.

The area undulated violently due to the master's pain, and the lace trembled with each rise and fall.

I will try my best.

His voice was hoarse.

In fact, he didn't use any force at all.

Shen Ruo's exquisite face scrunched up in a frown.

The medicine stung and itched that patch of skin, making her feel so uncomfortable she wanted to curse.

Her beautiful little face scrunched up like a bun, her eyes reddening, "It itches...it hurts..."

"Ruoruo".

Qi Wenshen put down the cotton swab, his breath brushing against her ear. "If you keep yelling, I'll find another way to stop the itching."

Shen Ruo: "..."

That was terrifying; I almost fell into the pit again.
