The village beauty and me!

Upon hearing Lin Hu's words, Chen Huan frowned immediately. "What do you mean? Are you implying something to me?"

"What kind of flower is this? What kind of master are you? You've taken a fancy to that girl too?"

Lin Hu looked uneasy. "At my age, would I even consider something like that?"

"To tell you the truth, Lin Wan'er is engaged to someone."

"And the other party is no ordinary person."

"There are some ideas you'd better completely get rid of, to avoid causing trouble for yourself."

Chen Huan hadn't expected such a thing to happen.

She felt a little annoyed, but her expression remained nonchalant. "Having an engagement doesn't mean we're married."

"What era are we living in? Freedom, don't you understand?"

Lin Hu sighed. "I'm not trying to upset you or scare you."

"I just wanted to give you a heads-up."

  

"As for your choice, that's your own business, young man. Think carefully about it."

After saying that, he stopped rambling and turned back into the courtyard.

"How are you feeling? Feeling down?"

"I didn't expect he was already engaged. This unrequited love has turned into heartbreak." Zhao Liping didn't miss any opportunity to mock and belittle Chen Huan.

Chen Huan was completely speechless.

Zhao Yaru stood aside, simply watching the spectacle.

On the drive back, Zhao Yaru was still complaining, "I came all this way, got threatened and scolded, and didn't earn a single penny. All I got was the girl's contact information."

"Chen Huan, you're so aloof."

"If everyone acts like you from now on, will we ever have anything to eat?"

Chen Huan clicked his tongue. "Money can be earned anytime, but some things don't happen often."

"If you want to make money, don't go out and about for the time being."

"Take good care of Miss Zhao, and she will definitely reward you handsomely."

After learning that Zhao Yaru was a wealthy heiress in the city, Zhao Liping's attitude immediately improved considerably.

She directly expressed her willingness to follow Chen Huan's arrangements and assist him in treating Zhao Yaru.

I got home just in time for dinner.

As the house became more and more lively, from just the two of them, Chen Huan, to one man and three women, couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

They say three women make a drama, and there's some truth to that old saying.

Who knows what kind of trouble will arise in this courtyard in the future?

After finishing his meal, Chen Huan immediately began sorting through the medicinal herbs he had picked.

Chen Huan did not deceive Zhao Yaru regarding the selection of medicinal materials.

Each one is practical and useful; there are just as many as there are.

The thoughtful Li Chunlan quickly prepared hot water and a large wooden tub for bathing. Chen Huan crushed the medicines one by one by hand and sprinkled them into the hot water.

A moment later, the air was filled with a very unique medicinal fragrance.

At first, Zhao Yaru was somewhat resistant.

It feels like the medicine was just casually put in, and the mixed taste would definitely make me feel very uncomfortable.

But after getting closer and taking a couple of sniffs, I was surprised to find that I actually really liked the smell of these medicines.

It feels like every breath I take in infuses my body with a new vitality.

"Is it really that amazing?" Zhao Yaru murmured involuntarily.

"Stop reminiscing, hurry up and take off your clothes, go in and soak."

"These drugs have a limited time to exert their effects, so don't waste this golden opportunity," Chen Huan said coldly from behind him.

"Then can you please not look?" Zhao Yaru asked, her face flushed.

Chen Huan shrugged and then turned his back.

Then I heard the rustling sound of clothes being removed.

Next, Zhao Liping helped Zhao Yaru into the wooden tub.

The entire body was submerged, leaving only the head and face above the neck exposed.

At that moment, Zhao Yaru breathed a sigh of relief.

This treatment method doesn't feel as awkward as I imagined; at least Chen Huan didn't take advantage of me.

With Zhao Liping helping out now, a lot of awkwardness has been avoided.

But the next second, they discovered that Chen Huan was also taking off his clothes.

"What are you going to do?"

"You're not coming in to soak too, are you?" Zhao Yaru was terrified, and in her excitement, she stammered.

Chen Huan rolled her eyes. "Dream on! Who wants to hang out with you?"

"Then why are you taking off your clothes?" Zhao Yaru subconsciously pressed her legs together to protect her chest, her expression still wary and tense.

"I'm going to give you a massage. By massaging acupoints, I can help you better absorb the effects of the medicine and improve your health."

"Stop flattering yourself, okay? Nobody's trying to take advantage of you," Chen Huan said sarcastically.

Seeing that he had only taken off his shirt, Zhao Yaru breathed a sigh of relief again.

But before he could completely relax, Chen Huan reached his hand directly into the medicinal soup from behind him.

It accurately grasped two key points.

"Hmm...where are you going to grab me?" Zhao Yaru was almost at her breaking point.

Didn't we agree not to take advantage of each other? Is it a proper massage to grab that spot directly?

"Acupoints, are you going to treat them or not?" Chen Huan asked seriously, but also with a hint of impatience.

Zhao Yaru bit her lip tightly; now she had no choice but to go all out.

Who told me I wanted to live?

Perhaps Chen Huan really does have his reasons.

She kept trying to comfort herself and build up her mental strength.

However, they failed to notice the subtle hint of treachery and lewdness that flashed across Chen Huan's otherwise righteous expression.

The claim that true qi helps in absorbing the medicinal effects is indeed true.

The more difficult and complex the disease, the more beneficial it is to the tempering of the body's vital energy and the widening of the meridians during treatment.

Chen Huan quickly let go and moved to another place to clear his mind.

He placed his hand on Zhao Yaru's shoulder and slowly channeled his inner energy into her meridians through his fingertips.

This true energy was like giving Chen Huan vision, allowing him to observe in detail all the conditions inside Zhao Yaru's body.

In this way, the medication can be absorbed in a targeted and proactive manner, and the amount and intensity of the medication can be adjusted.

Standing to the side, Zhao Liping was surprised to find that the liquid, which was originally dark green due to the large amount of medicinal herbs, was actually lightening in color over time.

After half an incense stick's time, the whole thing turned into clear water.

At the same time, an awkward scene unfolded.

Because of the absorption of the medicinal effects after treatment, coupled with the entry of true qi into the body, one feels extremely happy both physically and mentally.

So Zhao Yaru felt much more relaxed.

He leaned back slightly against the side of the wooden tub, his shoulders exposed.

Immediately afterwards, two white blobs floated to the surface.

"They've all floated up?" Zhao Liping couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

I really feel that being young is a great thing.

Zhao Yaru overheard these words and immediately blushed.

I wanted to reach out and press down, but I didn't dare to move, since the treatment was still in progress.

Fortunately, Chen Huan quickly released his hand and said to Zhao Liping, "Start from the beginning, continue massaging these acupoints and meridians I just massaged for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"This treatment is now complete."

Zhao Liping nodded, immediately rolled up her sleeves, and took over Chen Huan's work.

He reached out and pressed down on Zhao Yaru's shoulder.

Zhao Yaru asked in confusion, "Shouldn't we start from that place first...?"
