Ye Ling went to take a shower. Wan Hai leaned closer to Min Nan and said with a smile, “How are you playing chess? Those who don’t know better might think that the two of you are flirting.”

Min Nan glanced at Wan Hai indifferently and ignored him.

Ye Ling and Sun Li walked to the open space next to the vegetable field in the backyard. Sun Li had already set up two iron wires on the open space, with two pieces of gray-white cloth hanging from them. Sun Li said somewhat embarrassedly, “Lingling, the conditions in the village are a bit rough, so please bear with it for now. If you’re afraid of showering here, I’ll stand in front of you and accompany you.”

Ye Ling quickly waved her hand. “It’s alright, Auntie Sun. I’m not afraid. I think it’s quite nice and refreshing.”

Ye Ling signaled Sun Li to go about her business and not worry about her.

After Sun Li left, she found Min Nan in the front yard and said, “Take some time to build a small structure in the backyard. Lingling is a city girl, and it’s not appropriate to have her showering out in the open like this.”

Min Nan nodded. “Alright, I’ll go to the building materials store to get bricks and cement.”

Wan Hai’s gaze shifted back and forth between his mother and Min Nan. He had a sneaking suspicion that his mother had already accepted Ye Ling as a daughter-in-law!

Despite them, the brothers, having bathed outdoors for so many years, their mother had never shown them such care. Sigh, it was truly disheartening.

Ye Ling emerged from her shower with damp hair, clad in a thin, old pajama.

Min Nan saw that Ye Ling’s eyelashes were wet, and she looked like a little bun that had just come out of the oven. She was white and soft. An itch surged within Min Nan’s heart, reminding him of the feeling of resting his head on Ye Ling’s shoulder.

Ye Ling noticed Min Nan and said, “Big Brother Min Nan, there’s still hot water in the pot. You should take a shower.”

Min Nan nodded. “Then you go inside and sit for a while. I have a feeling it might rain again later.”

Ye Ling glanced at the dark, moonless sky outside. How did Min Nan know it was going to rain?

“Alright,” obediently said, drying her hair with a towel.

Min Nan carried a basin of hot water to the backyard. As expected, he saw two iron wires set up in front of the space, with two pieces of cloth hanging from them. Ye Ling must have showered there earlier.

Min Nan undressed his broad shoulders and slim waist exuding strength and vitality. His chest and abdominal muscles displayed defined and smooth lines as if each muscle had been meticulously sculpted.

Min Nan picked up a damp towel, about to dry himself when he hesitated. He then walked slowly to the two pieces of cloth hanging from the wires and gently pulled them apart.

As the breeze blew, Min Nan seemed to have caught a faint sweet fragrance. That fragrance lingered around his sense of smell, causing Min Nan’s heart to tremble uncontrollably. That sweet fragrance instantly reminded him of the pure girl bathing here.

Warm water cascaded over the girl’s fair skin, her long hair sticking to her body, and her thick eyelashes collecting a touch of moisture…

Min Nan abruptly dropped the curtain and steadied his slightly disheveled breath.

What was he doing?

In the living room, Ye Ling sat on a wooden chair, her gaze casually wandering over the furnishings. Suddenly, her attention was drawn to a few books. She approached and found that they were high school textbooks.

Ye Ling looked at them with keen interest, generating a stream of thoughts in her mind.

After her rebirth, Wu De’s plot failed, sparing her from being forever trapped in the countryside like her past life.

Currently, two main ideas occupied Ye Ling’s mind.

First, she wanted to study medicine diligently. After returning to the city, she wanted to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, gradually building a reputation and promoting the medical expertise of the Ye family.

The second idea was to prepare thoroughly before the country resumed the college entrance examination. When the time came, she intended to participate and strive to secure a spot in a reputable medical university for further studies.

The status of the first batch of university students after the resumption of the national college entrance examination was quite prestigious. Some universities not only covered full tuition but also provided job placement after graduation, relieving the graduates of employment concerns.

Opening a clinic was a definite plan. Since Ye Ling had inherited the Ye Family Medical Code, she had a duty to follow in the footsteps of her predecessors and employ the Ye family’s medical expertise to assist more people.

However, opening the clinic could happen at any time. Ye Ling’s current hesitation revolved around whether she should prepare for the college entrance examination. If she chose to do so, she would need to begin gathering study materials, reviewing the exam syllabus, and devising a study plan..
