Joe's Farming

The village, which had just experienced an epidemic, was filled with the smell of medicine and lime powder.

Everyone had cloths on their faces.

A temporary camp was set up outside the village, and the people sent by Gu Xi and Xie Changyu rested here for the next few days.

Gu Xi had just returned from seeing a doctor in the village when he saw a thin figure waiting outside the tent in the camp.

"Doctor Gu, this guy said he came to see you. I told him it was dangerous here, but he refused to listen."

An officer came forward and spoke to him with some embarrassment.

Gu Xi raised her hand to stop him from saying the next word, her voice full of joy: "It's okay, he is my friend. Go and do your thing."

When Bai Ming saw Gu Xi wearing a cloth scarf, he wanted to go up and say hello, but was stopped by Gu Xi.

"Wait a minute, I'll go change my clothes."

As he said this, he changed his clothes, washed his hands, and took out two clean towels.

"How did you come?"

The cloth with the smell of medicine covered Bai Ming's face. Bai Ming's ears turned red, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "I'll help you."

Gu Xi couldn't help but smile.

"It's too dangerous here. You should go back later."

Bai Ming turned around and looked at him steadily, his eyes clear: "I had it once, so I'm not afraid of being infected again."

"Who told you that? This isn't smallpox. If you get it once, it's terrible."

Bai Ming insisted: "My mother said so."

Gu Xi held his forehead with his hand: "You have just recovered from your illness. I would be distracted if you were here. Besides, the disease is under control now. There is nothing you can do to help me here."

Bai Ming walked straight into the tent and picked up the clothes that Gu Xi had just changed out of: "I'm going to do the laundry."

Gu Xi: ...

Why is this person so stubborn?

But what should I do when my heart is so sweet? I can't bear to persuade him to go back.

Forget it, the epidemic has been brought under control anyway, so just consider it a small reward to myself.

The camp is very busy. We have to start boiling medicine before dawn every day, then administer the medicine, conduct follow-up visits, and record the physical condition of each patient.

Those who are bedridden at home need to be visited at their homes. After being busy all day, they don’t even have time to eat.

After Bai Ming arrived, he took care of the camp's two meals a day and all of Gu Xi's clothes.

He originally planned to prepare three meals a day, but later found out that everyone really didn't have time to eat.

Gu Xi was very beautiful at the beginning, and she was happy to see Bai Ming every day.

After two days, I couldn't bear it anymore. Bai Ming had obviously lost weight. He was not fat to begin with, but now his chin was so pointed that it felt prickly.

"Bai Ming, you go back first. I'll be busy here for two more days and then I can hand the case over to the doctor at Chunhe Hall."

Gu Xi was telling the truth. He had already sorted out all the records and he could retire after completing his mission as long as he handed them over to the next person.

Bai Ming: "Then I'll wait for you."

"You have to repay me for taking care of me for a few days. It's enough. You should go back early, dear."

"What did you say?" Bai Ming's tone suddenly changed.

Gu Xi thought she had said something wrong and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else when I said good boy."

Bai Ming's tone was a little cold: "The previous sentence."

Gu Xi suddenly realized, can't I say repay the favor?

But if it wasn't to repay a favor, why would Bai Ming's attitude change so much and come running to help me?

The main reason was that Bai Ming had always been cold towards him, so when he suddenly treated him well, he couldn't believe that there were other emotions involved besides gratitude.

Seeing that he was silent, Bai Ming said nothing and turned away.

So I mustered up all my courage to come find him. In his opinion, was it just to repay a favor?

The more Bai Ming thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Could it be that I have been being too sentimental all along?

That's right, although Gu Xi was very good to him, he had never expressed any extra thoughts about him.

Just as Bai Ming was packing his things, Gu Xi stood silently behind him.

"Bai Ming."

Bai Ming paused and didn't want to turn around and look at him.

"Bai Ming, I think I need to make something clear to you."

Gu Xi said solemnly.

Bai Ming still had his back to him and said softly, "You go ahead."

Seeing that he didn't turn around, Gu Xi ran to the opposite side and looked at him.

"You're angry because I just said I was repaying a favor, right?"

Bai Ming didn't say anything.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent. Then should I understand that you didn't come here to repay your kindness, but for me?"

Bai Ming clutched the hem of his clothes tightly and still did not answer.

How could he say this? All his courage had been used up in making this decision, and now he just wanted to leave this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.

"Bai Ming, I like you, and you like me too, right?"

Gu Xi didn't care and just said what she thought.

Qiao Yu asked him to wait, so he held back and didn't dare to show it too obviously to Bai Ming, for fear of scaring him away.

But now, if he doesn't say anything, he might lose his popularity.

Bai Ming stood there in a daze.

"I... you really like me?"

Gu Xi said frankly: "Of course, I like you very much, but I thought you didn't like me before. You were very cold to me when we first met."

"I was..."

Bai Ming didn't know how to defend himself, so he just asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"I've been committed to other men before."

He used up almost all his strength to say this.

After saying this, he looked at Gu Xi calmly, waiting for his judgment on him.

Gu Xi blinked.

"so what?"

It was as if what the other person was talking about was a trivial and insignificant matter, like "I ate steamed buns in the morning", which is not worth mentioning.

Bai Ming opened his eyes slightly, trying to see clearly whether there would be an expression of contempt or disdain on Gu Xi's face.

But no, Gu Xi smiled at him, her smile was clean and bright.

"I like you. It has nothing to do with whether you have had someone else before. I just want you to like me now and in the future."

"You really don't mind?"

Gu Xi took a step forward. Neither of them was wearing a towel, and they could hear each other's breathing.

Bai Ming wanted to step back.

Gu Xi held her waist tightly, but she didn't dare to hold it too tightly for fear that Bai Ming would get nervous.

"Bai Ming, I always thought you were pretty smart, why are you so dumb when it comes to relationships?

I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind!

I will say the important thing three times.

Then let me ask you, I am a doctor, and I might touch other women and men when I treat patients in the future, do you mind?"

Bai Ming tried to tilt his head back and whispered, "That's different. You're treating me. Of course I... don't mind."

"So do you still like him now? Do you still think about him?"

Bai Ming felt a little nauseous when he thought of Xiao Shiye and shook his head with a grim expression.

"Don't mention him to me, it makes me sick."

Gu Xi quickly gave him a thumbs up: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it.

I only care about who the man in your heart is now, do you understand?"

Bai Ming is not a fool. Gu Xi has already said so much, and it would be hypocritical for him to continue to be nitpicking.

"Then you're still going to drive me away?"

Gu Xi couldn't help but hug the person tightly and rub him hard.

"Why are you leaving? Let's go back together in two days. When we get back, I'll go to your house to propose marriage!"
