Upon arriving at the dormitory building, Ye Ling found Yu Huanâs room and knocked on the door. The girl who answered the door looked at Ye Ling in surprise for a moment.
âI am looking for Yu Huan,â Ye Ling politely stated.
The girlâs expression seemed complex as she glanced at Ye Ling and then called out loudly from inside the room, âYu Huan, someone is looking for you!â
Ye Ling saw the look in the young womanâs eyes and knew that she might have misunderstood her.
When Yu Huan came out, he handed a shoulder bag made of blue cloth to Ye Ling. There was a stack of newspapers in the shoulder bag.
After expressing her gratitude, Ye Ling hesitated for a moment and asked,
âSince we are close, would people have any opinions about us?â
Ye Ling wasnât concerned about othersâ opinions herself, but she didnât want to cause trouble for Yu Huan or attract gossip.
Yu Huan chuckled casually, âDonât worry about that. I donât usually interact much with them. We have a generation gap. I couldnât care less about their opinions. Besides, they probably knew about my familyâs situation and wouldnât dare to offend me. Just relax.â
Ye Ling felt relieved. As Yu Huan was about to go back inside, she held his arm and inquired, âDo you usually not go out?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yu Huan nodded. âCan you tell that, Doctor Ye?â
Thinking about Yu Huanâs physical condition, Ye Ling kindly suggested, âI recommend that you exercise more when you have time.â
Yu Huan shook her head. âNo, I donât enjoy going out.â
âHow about this? I can teach you a set of health exercises. You can do them in the dormitory, and they will also offer some fitness benefits. Would you like to learn?â Ye Ling recalled that the âYe Familyâs Medical Codeâ included several sets of health exercises suitable for different body types, so she made the suggestion.
Yu Huan hesitated for a moment. As someone quite lethargic, even eating was a bit of a hassle, let alone doing health exercises.
However, Yu Huan considered that Ye Ling was now her âattending doctorâ. She had to heed the doctorâs advice, or else her health might decline further in the future.
Yu Huan finally nodded. âAlright, Iâll learn. Letâs go to your room.â
As they reached Ye Lingâs room, Yu Huan commented, âYour room is quite hot. Being on the top floor, itâs uncomfortable in the summer. I suddenly think, maybe you shouldnât come back. Just stay there. At least until summer is over.â
âHow could that work? Itâs not suitable,â Ye Ling said. She wasnât bothered by the heat. After enduring so much in her previous life, she was no longer the delicate girl who had just arrived from the city to the countryside. Rebirth had altered her mindset. To her, environmental hardships were trivial matters.
âWell then, letâs learn quickly,â Ye Ling reminded. âI donât want to see you faint from the heat in mv room.â
The movements of the health exercises werenât complex. After teaching her twice, Yu Huan had pretty much learned them. Ye Ling instructed, âSince youâve learned them, make sure to do them every day. If you stick with these exercises, your physique will improve. Donât give up halfway.â
Yu Huan nodded. She knew Ye Ling was doing this for her good, so she didnât mind Ye Lingâs thoroughness. Instead, she felt a warmth inside. âDonât worry, Doctor Ye. Iâll keep at it.â
âGreat, now you should head back. Iâll leave as well. Once Iâm done reading these newspapers, Iâll return them to you.â
After leaving the dormitory building, Ye Ling retraced her steps. It was still early, so it wasnât time for dinner yet. Ye Ling walked leisurely.
On a ridge, Ye Ling suddenly noticed a slightly thin rural woman not too far away. She felt the woman looked familiar. After recalling for a moment, she remembered that she was Auntie Tan, the single mother who earned a living by catching snakes.
Was she about to go catch a snake?
The moment the word âsnakeâ crossed Ye Lingâs mind, she felt a shiver run down her spine. Numerous terrifying images flashed through her mind.
Just as she was about to leave, she unexpectedly paused.
Ye Ling realized that she hadnât gone up the mountain to find new herbs for a long time. She had been avoiding this task due to her fear of encountering snakes.
But did she want to live in fear forever?
If Ye Ling didnât have her small world, or if she wasnât a doctor, it wouldnât matter if she feared snakes. But now, her small world was her only trump card. Its most valuable function was producing various precious herbs..
