With the disappearance of his abdominal pain, all his allergic symptoms were gone.
Beitang Lie collapsed weakly on the brick bed as he looked at Pei Yao, who was sitting beside him.
Pei Yao held a bowl of porridge in her left hand and a small spoon in her right.
“Jiaojiao said that for the next two weeks, you can only eat plain food and must avoid meat.” As Pei Yao spoke, she scooped a spoonful of porridge and blew at it before bringing it to his lips.
Beitang Lie ate the porridge from her hand. A smile appeared on his pale and handsome face. “With you around, I can eat anything.”
Unable to bear his burning gaze, Pei Yao lowered her head with a flushed face. “Why are you still spouting nonsense at a time like this?”
“I’m telling the truth. Yaoyao, I like you,” Beitang Lie said frankly.
He had experienced so many trials with Pei Yao. He realized that the feelings he had for her were something he had never felt for other women before.
He had never thought of getting married to any of his previous girlfriends.
But he wanted to marry Pei Yao, have children with her, and spend the rest of his life with her.
He often fantasized about their future now.
This was the difference between Pei Yao and other women.
He was determined to have this woman.
His sudden confession stunned Pei Yao.
Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” Pei Yao placed the porridge on the side table by the brick bed. She quickly stood up and ran out of the room as if she was escaping.
Standing outside the door, Pei Yao’s heart was still beating very fast.
She covered her heart with her hand, her expression conflicted.
Did she like Beitang Lie?
She seemed to like him a little?
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so overjoyed by his confession.
But what was the point?
He must have professed his love to countless girls, but every single one of them had only been with him for a short period of time.
To her, in matters of love, it was all or nothing.
Therefore, it was impossible for her and Beitang Lie.
Pei Yao gave a long sigh.

Over the next two days, an endless stream of people came to Ah Ping’s house to look for Chi Jiao to treat their illnesses. The doorstep to Ah Ping’s house was nearly cracked by the stampede.
It was also during these two days that Quan Jue, Huo Chen, and Beitang Lie truly witnessed Chi Jiao’s superb medical skills.
No matter how complicated the other party’s illness was, it was not a problem for her.
As Chi Jiao treated the villagers’ illnesses, she also taught them some common medical knowledge, as well as how advanced and open the outside world was.
After seeing Chi Jiao, many villagers now had the urge to go out and take a look.
This was their last night in Feng Tong Village. Chi Jiao invited the village chief to Ah Ping’s house.
Ah Ping was already completely subdued by Chi Jiao. Of course, it was not because of her superb medical skills, but the fact that he was utterly frightened of her.
Chi Jiao asked Ah Ping to prepare a sumptuous meal for tonight, and he obediently cooked a table full of tasty dishes.
They moved the dining table into the courtyard. Chi Jiao, Quan Jue, Huo Chen, Pei Yao, Beitang Lie, and the village chief sat around the table.
“Miss Chi, what do you want to ask me? Go ahead and ask..” After some casual conversation as they ate, the village chief asked Chi Jiao directly as he gazed at her with admiration.
