"Yes." In response, Cheng Shubai continued to dig in the ground with his head lowered.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but sigh. She thought she would live in isolation for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect that she would still be unable to escape the conventional fate.

Su Xiaoxi didn't know how long this situation would last. She only felt that her future was full of confusion and unknown.

She didn't dare to expect to be with Cheng Shubai all the time. As long as she could see her every day, she was content.

"Are you... hungry?" As soon as Su Xiaoxi walked out of the kitchen, she met Cheng Shubai coming towards her.

"Um... I'm a little hungry."

Su Xiaoxi said with a guilty conscience.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shubai took Su Xiaoxi's hand and walked towards the dining room without saying a word.

Su Xiaoxi was led by Cheng Shubai in a daze, her footsteps moving unconsciously.

"You haven't had dinner so late?" Su Xiaoxi was a little surprised.

"Well, I was a little busy, so I forgot the time." As he said that, Cheng Shubai had already pulled Su Xiaoxi to the door of the dining room.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxi suddenly felt a little dazed.

Cheng Shubai's behavior was so warm and appropriate.

It seems that this situation of walking hand in hand has been practiced thousands of times in dreams, so it is so skillful to present it in reality.

Cheng Shubai did not enter the dining room, but stopped in the corner of the yard.

Su Xiaoxi looked along and saw that what Cheng Shubai was holding in his hand turned out to be a bouquet of wild flowers.

Cheng Shubai held wild flowers in his hand.

Su Xiaoxi blinked her eyes and looked at this scene, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Cheng Shubai held the wild flowers and slowly approached Su Xiaoxi. Su Xiaoxi stayed there stupidly, letting Cheng Shubai walk up to him.

"Give it to you."

Passing the flower in his hand to Su Xiaoxi, Cheng Shubai smiled brightly.

"Thank you." Su Xiaoxi responded with a smile, her eyes fell on Cheng Shubai's face, her heartbeat skipped a beat, and her cheeks were slightly red.

"Do you like it?" Cheng Shubai asked again.

"Like it!"

Seeing Cheng Shubai's expectant look, Su Xiaoxi couldn't bear to let him down, so she quickly answered in the affirmative.

Cheng Shubai seemed very happy, "Then... we can pick wild flowers every weekend from now on, and then grow them into beautiful flower buds and put them in bottles. How about that?"

"it is good!"

Su Xiaoxi happily agreed. In fact, she had already liked these little flowers.

However, Su Xiaoxi never thought that her wish would be fulfilled by Cheng Shubai.

"I'll go back to the house and change clothes first!"

After taking a look at her dirty clothes, Su Xiaoxi said to Cheng Shubai.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here!"

Cheng Shubai nodded and watched Su Xiaoxi's back fade away.

That night, Su Xiaoxi had a beautiful dream.

In the dream, she and Cheng Shubai were walking hand in hand on the hillside. Next to them was a large field of colorful wild chrysanthemums, and their fragrance filled the air.

She sat on the grass, and Cheng Shubai picked flowers for her behind her.

She closed her eyes and enjoyed the wind under the sunshine, and the sound of gurgling water came to her ears.

"very nice."

In her sleep, Su Xiaoxi moved her lips and whispered softly. This dream was so sweet that Su Xiaoxi was reluctant to wake up.

-

The next morning, Su Xiaoxi was awakened by the chirping of birds. When she opened her sleepy eyes, she saw a patch of verdant green and an old elm tree with lush branches.

Last night's dream flashed through her mind, and Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"Are you awake?" Su Xiaoxi turned to look at Cheng Shubai, only to see that Cheng Shubai had left the bed at some point, holding a plate of toiletries in his hand and placing it in front of the desk.

Su Xiaoxi rubbed her eyes and felt a little excited and a little guilty when she confirmed that Cheng Shubai was really in front of her.

I was actually immersed in the dream I had weaved.

"Go and brush your teeth quickly." Cheng Shubai said, and then got into the kitchen. Not long after, Su Xiaoxi had washed herself, changed her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

At this time, Cheng Shubai had already prepared breakfast and placed it on the table.

Looking at the steaming porridge and egg pancakes, Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but move her fingers.

"Try it and see if it tastes good." Cheng Shubai handed the chopsticks to Su Xiaoxi and motioned for Su Xiaoxi to eat first.

After the two of them finished eating, Su Xiaoxi began to study the prescription in her hand again.

I heard that during this period, the imperial court also sent down imperial doctors to treat everyone, but Su Xiaoxi was still extremely worried.

After all, when this plague breaks out, there is no distinction between men, women, old and young. Who can be spared?

"Cheng Shubai..."

Su Xiaoxi raised her head to call Cheng Shubai, but found that Cheng Shubai was staring thoughtfully at the prescription in her hand.

Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but frown, "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Shubai raised his eyes and looked at Su Xiaoxi. "It's okay. I know two of the herbs you wrote about. I'll help you grab a few pairs to try." Cheng Shubai said, handing the note to Su Xiaoxi.

"Oh!" Su Xiaoxi reached out and took it, lowering her head to carefully search for the herbs Cheng Shubai mentioned.

"One more thing..." After looking at Su Xiaoxi for a while, Cheng Shubai spoke again and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

"I know him too." Su Xiaoxi answered more firmly.

"Okay, I'll get you some medicine." Cheng Shubai packed the medicine box and prepared to go out.

Su Xiaoxi hurriedly stopped Cheng Shubai, "No need to trouble you, I'll get the medicine myself."

Cheng Shubai raised his head and said, "It's not troublesome. It's just idle time anyway."

"No, no," Su Xiaoxi insisted. She was afraid that Cheng Shubai would be exhausted.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Shubai asked.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Su Xiaoxi shook her head repeatedly, but she still couldn't stop Cheng Shubai's insistence.

In the end, unable to resist Cheng Shubai, Su Xiaoxi asked Cheng Shubai to go get the medicine with her.

Although Cheng Shubai's medical skills were not very good, they were more than enough to deal with common illnesses.

Because there were a lot of medicinal materials to grab, Su Xiaoxi had to go to the drugstore to buy them all in advance, while Cheng Shubai helped package them behind.

On the way back, Cheng Shubai's expression was a little strange, but Su Xiaoxi was focused on the medicinal materials and did not pay attention to Cheng Shubai.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Su Xiaoxi handed all the medicinal materials to Old Man Cheng and asked him to brew them according to the prescription written above.

Su Xiaoxi and Old Man Cheng said goodbye and left. When they returned to the inn, it was already dark. When they pushed the door open and entered, the guest room was pitch dark without any movement.

Su Xiaoxi frowned, could it be that he hasn't come back yet?

Just when he was hesitating whether to go out to look for Cheng Shubai, a sudden voice caught Su Xiaoxi's attention.

Looking through the sound, I saw Cheng Shubai squatting on the ground picking something up, his expression focused, and he even forgot that his face was stretched and distorted by the light.
