Free Web NovelChapter 21: Chapter 21: Living Together in the Same Room
But soon, Xia Xue regained her composure, pushed Wang Hao away, and urged him to hurry.
Five minutes later, they arrived at the warehouse, which also served as Xia Xue’s home.
To save on expenses, she had sectioned off a room in the warehouse to live in.
The room was small, and there weren’t many household items, but it was overall tidy.
"The equipment is all here."
Xia Xue led Wang Hao to a corner of the warehouse and pointed to the equipment on the ground, all of which were still in their packaging.
Wang Hao casually browsed through them, noting that they were brand new and unopened. He thought to himself that getting such suitable items for such a low price was his good fortune.
Plus, he now had a long-term technical consultant. This deal was not bad at all.
"No problem, please arrange to have them delivered to the village as soon as possible. I’ll send you the address."
As he spoke, Wang Hao took out his phone and sent Xia Xue the address.
"Also, there’s no rush with starting the job. Arrange your own affairs and come by whenever you can."
Wang Hao was clear about business matters. After all, she was in a difficult situation, and one had to be considerate where it was due.
"Okay, I really thank you so much this time!"
Xia Xue thanked him repeatedly, for she was a reasonable person.
Since Wang Hao trusted her so much, then she too had to bring out her true capability to help Wang Hao.
"Alright then, I’ll head back now."
Having completed his main mission in the city, Wang Hao straightforwardly suggested going back home and turned toward the doorway.
"Um... it seems like the rain outside is getting heavier."
No sooner had Xia Xue spoken than a flash of lightning tore across the sky, followed by the "rumble" of thunder, making the rain pour down even harder.
"Er, then I’ll wait for the rain to ease up before leaving."
Wang Hao scratched his head foolishly.
Xia Xue noticed his clothes were soaked through and splattered with mud, figuring it must have been from protecting her.
She then said, "Your clothes are drenched, why don’t you take a shower here? Don’t catch a cold. Once you’re done, you can wear my dad’s clothes."
Wang Hao was taken aback and realized he was indeed covered in mud and emitting a foul odor.
He wasn’t one to fuss, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I’ll do as you say."
So, Xia Xue went into the room and brought him a new towel and her father’s homewear.
Wang Hao saw that Xia Xue’s clothes were also half-wet and her hair damp; worried, he asked, "Your clothes are wet, too. Be careful not to catch a cold. Why don’t you shower first?"
Wang Hao scanned Xia Xue from head to toe, noticing her prominent silhouette and couldn’t help swallowing hard.
Xia Xue, sensing Wang Hao’s gaze, blushed instantly, "Just take the shower if I told you to, why all the nonsense!"
Helplessly, Wang Hao went to take a shower first.
When he opened the door after finishing, he found that Xia Xue had been waiting right outside the door all along.
He couldn’t help but laugh and said, "I’m done now, you go ahead and shower."
Xia Xue looked up and immediately saw that Wang Hao had come out shirtless.
Her pretty face turned crimson, as if she was about to bleed.
Not only did Wang Hao look sunny, but his skin seemed finer than a woman’s.
Especially those firm eight-pack abs, exuding a strong sense of security.
The more she thought about it, the more flustered Xia Xue became and quickly dispersed the thoughts as she stepped into the bathroom.
But the moment she closed the door, she couldn’t help but sneak another glance at his robust figure through the crack.
"You... why did you come out without wearing clothes!"
"Oh, sorry, I’m just used to it at home," Wang Hao said with a sheepish grin, realizing it wasn’t home.
Girls in the city have thinner skins; nobody in the village would care about such things.
Wang Hao obediently put on his shirt.
Xia Xue hurriedly turned on the shower and let the water soak her all over, slowly soothing her emotions.
While Xia Xue was showering, Wang Hao wasn’t idle either; he was browsing news on his phone. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Greenhouse planting has now become widely popular.
Everyone is using constant temperature greenhouses to grow off-season vegetables and fruits, or to breed aquatic products.
Thanks to technological development, people can enjoy fresh vegetables and fruits all year round.
But it seems that no one has proposed using greenhouses to plant Chinese herbal medicine.
When he thought about being the first to plant Chinese herbs, possibly even becoming a leading figure in the future, his heart couldn’t help but pound with excitement.
Moreover, he heard from his former teachers that universities had added traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) disciplines, and the whole country was praising TCM.
In the future, many TCM hospitals and clinics would be established.
If that day really came, Chinese herbal medicine would definitely have a big advantage in the future medical market!
He could start growing them now and, once he scaled up, even try his hand at making medicine...
The more Wang Hao thought about it, the more excited he became, seeing a bright future ahead.
With the Jiwen Dragon on him, he was even more confident!
However, at this moment, the sound of water flowing from the bathroom broke into his daydream.
Through the dimly lit room, the half-transparent glass door of the bathroom cast a shadow of a graceful figure.
Gazing at this alluring silhouette, Wang Hao’s mind began to fill with seductive scenes, making low down discomfort flare up within him.
"What are you looking at?"
After an unknown period, Xia Xue emerged from the bathroom, her face flushed as she coquettishly reprimanded him.
"No... Nothing, just a bit hungry, looking for something to eat," Wang Hao hastily diverted his gaze and excused himself offhandedly.
Right at that moment, his stomach cooperated with a growling sound.
Xia Xue couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Wang Hao’s embarrassed look.
Wang Hao didn’t know why Xia Xue was laughing, but her smile really was beautiful.
Her adorable face was slightly flushed, her lips a captivating red, tempting one to take a bite. fгeewebnovёl.com
Xia Xue felt self-conscious under his intense gaze and turned to look toward the kitchen.
"Have you looked enough? Aren’t you hungry? I’ll go make something for you to eat."
Watching Xia Xue bustling about in the kitchen, Wang Hao couldn’t help but be reminded of Sister Cailian.
Though their styles were vastly different, both had their own charm.
Before long, Xia Xue brought out two dishes and a soup, the aroma wafting through the air.
Who would have thought that a lady who looked like she wouldn’t touch the spring water with her ten fingers could cook such delicious food.
"You’ll have to excuse me, there isn’t much food at home, just make do with it," she said.
Originally, since Wang Hao had helped her a great deal today, she should have treated him to a meal at a restaurant.
But the rain outside was too heavy, making it impossible to move around, so she’d have to take him out next time.
"Don’t say that, what you’ve made is really tasty!"
Wang Hao was really hungry, and the food did taste quite good, so he quickly polished off two large bowls.
"Eh? Why aren’t you eating?" he asked with concern, noting that Xia Xue’s bowl was barely touched.
"I don’t have much of an appetite; don’t feel like eating."
"There’s nothing so serious that it should stop you from eating. Your health is your capital for the revolution, try to eat a little at least," he urged.
Wang Hao knew that Xia Xue was preoccupied, but not eating wouldn’t help her endure it.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine," she said with a slight smile, turning to look out the window.
"With such heavy rain outside, you can’t leave. Just put up with it tonight and stay over at my place," she offered.
After hearing this, Wang Hao’s chopsticks paused mid-air.
Stay here for the night? Could it be that she...
Not sure what he was thinking, Wang Hao felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, an eager stirring began...
