Wilderness Romance!

"You...you bastard."

Su Man's expression changed slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and her tone carried an invisible anger.

"I thought you were the miracle doctor they were talking about, but it turns out you're just a shameless scoundrel. How could you say something like that? You're really shameless."

"What? Is there a conflict between being a miracle doctor and doing *that*?" Lu Pingchuan laughed angrily. "Don't the doctors and nurses in your hospital have sex lives? Tsk tsk tsk, how repressed must they be?"

"You...you...you you you..."

Su Man was speechless after being rebuked, and her pretty face, which was originally flushed, turned bright red in an instant.

"What do you mean 'you'? If you don't want to, then get out of here. I don't have time to waste with you guys."

In reality, he just didn't want Bai Xue and Su Man to pester him with questions, so he made a condition that the other party could never agree to.

"Mr. Lu, wait a moment."

Bai Xue caught up again, her pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Lu Pingchuan.

"Mr. Lu," her voice was very soft, almost inaudible, "if you're willing to tell me how you did that, I... I can go to the hotel with you, just the two of us."

She bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with shyness, nervousness, and embarrassment, but beneath all that shyness lay something even stronger.

A near-obsessive desire to pay any price for knowledge, for truth, for that silver needle she could never understand.

She is a doctor who thinks she has seen everything.

But today, a young man dressed in cheap clothes used a silver needle, barely thicker than a hair, to perform a rescue right before her eyes that she could never comprehend in her entire life.

She studied for four years and worked for two, but she couldn't even understand how others did it. That sense of frustration was like a dull knife, cutting away at her proud professional dignity.

What's more, there's something buried deep in her heart that she can never let go of, and it's still pricking her.

She needs to know the answer.

At any cost.

Lu Pingchuan was stunned.

If the other party was after money, that would be understandable. But the other party did this simply to understand the principle behind the treatment he had just given Lin Jianguo. He really couldn't understand whether it was worth it.

"Xiaoxue, are you crazy?"

Su Man caught up and grabbed Bai Xue's arm. Her expression was as if she had seen a ghost, and she looked at Bai Xue as if she were a complete stranger.

"Do you know what you're saying? Going to a hotel with a strange man? Are you crazy?"

"Xiaoman, I understand what you mean, but I need to get to the bottom of this. You know what happened to me a year ago. If back then..."

Bai Xue's voice stopped abruptly, her eyes reddened slightly, and tears welled up in them.

Su Man opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

Lu Pingchuan looked at the two of them with suspicion, and from their words, it seemed that something had happened to Bai Xue.

However, he didn't have time to continue arguing with them. He was carrying 50,000 yuan in his pocket, and what if he lost it? He had to get back to the village as soon as possible.

Moreover, he had just smashed Luo Sanpao's sand washing machine yesterday, and the other party could come knocking on his door at any time. He didn't want to see his family members implicated by him again.

"Dr. Bai Xue, although I am a womanizer, I don't like things that are too casual. Alright, go do what you need to do. I have things to do, so don't follow me."

As soon as Lu Pingchuan turned around, Su Man's cursing voice came from behind him: "You bastard, surnamed Lu, who are you calling promiscuous? My Xiaoxue has never even had a boyfriend, how can she be promiscuous?"

"You're a shameless scoundrel. I curse you to never find a girlfriend or a wife in your entire life."

Bai Xue stared intently at Lu Pingchuan's retreating figure, murmuring softly, "Red Flag Village, Lu Pingchuan..."

Before returning to the village, Lu Pingchuan went to the farmers' market and bought some ingredients such as fish, shrimp, and meat.

Yesterday at dinner, he even had to pass the buck over a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Now that he's been released from prison, he will definitely not let his family live that kind of hard life again.

Inside the courtyard, Nie Xiaoyu was washing potatoes, preparing to cook a meal.

Lu Pingchuan parked his bicycle and quickly ran to Nie Xiaoyu.

"Sister Xiaoyu, look what this is!" He picked up the bag in his hand: "I bought pork ribs, fish, and shrimp. We'll have this for lunch today."

Nie Xiaoyu glanced at what Lu Pingchuan was holding, and her pretty face instantly darkened.

After Lu Pingsheng left, she worked hard to manage the household, take care of the two elderly people, and lived frugally, thinking that when Lu Pingchuan returned, she would hand them over to him in good condition, which would be a way of repaying Lu Pingsheng for saving her life.

I thought that after Lu Pingchuan came back, he could make money and one day cure my parents' illness. I didn't expect that he would spend money recklessly as soon as he came back, and he didn't care about my parents' illness at all, nor did he think about treating them.

She was a little angry and a little disappointed.

However, considering that he would be leaving in two days, he did not react.

He reached out and took the things, asking, "Have you bought the medicine for the two elders?"

"No, why would I buy medicine? My parents don't need any medicine at all," Lu Pingchuan replied truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoyu could no longer contain his anger. He threw his things on the ground and roared furiously.

"Lu Pingchuan, do you have any humanity left?"

"This family has become like this because of you. And what do you do? You come back and instead of thinking about getting treatment for your parents, you're here eating and drinking like crazy. How can you face them? How can you face your brother?"

Lu Pingchuan was slightly taken aback. Although he had been scolded, he felt a warmth in his heart. He could tell that Nie Xiaoyu was genuinely concerned about her parents.

"Sister Xiaoyu, it's not what you think," Lu Pingchuan explained. "I'm more heartbroken than anyone else that our family has become like this, but what's done is done, and we can only face it."

"I can cure my parents' illnesses; they really don't need to take medicine."

"Can you cure it?"

Nie Xiaoyu laughed in anger. She knew that Lu Pingchuan had attended medical school before, but he was arrested in less than two years and never graduated. How could he possibly cure the two elders' illness?

"Alright, Lu Pingchuan, you don't need to argue here. I'm leaving in two days, so do whatever you want with me."

"Take your things away. You can eat this with a clear conscience, but I can't."
