Upon arriving at the dormitory building, Ye Ling found Yu Huan’s room and knocked on the door. The girl who answered the door looked at Ye Ling in surprise for a moment.
“I am looking for Yu Huan,” Ye Ling politely stated.
The girl’s expression seemed complex as she glanced at Ye Ling and then called out loudly from inside the room, “Yu Huan, someone is looking for you!”
Ye Ling saw the look in the young woman’s 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,
“Since we are close, would people have any opinions about us?”
Ye Ling wasn’t concerned about others’ opinions herself, but she didn’t want to cause trouble for Yu Huan or attract gossip.
Yu Huan chuckled casually, “Don’t worry about that. I don’t usually interact much with them. We have a generation gap. I couldn’t care less about their opinions. Besides, they probably knew about my family’s situation and wouldn’t dare to offend me. Just relax.”
Ye Ling felt relieved. As Yu Huan was about to go back inside, she held his arm and inquired, “Do you usually not go out?”
Yu Huan nodded. “Can you tell that, Doctor Ye?”
Thinking about Yu Huan’s physical condition, Ye Ling kindly suggested, “I recommend that you exercise more when you have time.”
Yu Huan shook her head. “No, I don’t enjoy going out.”
“How 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?” Ye Ling recalled that the “Ye Family’s Medical Code” 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 “attending doctor”. She had to heed the doctor’s advice, or else her health might decline further in the future.
Yu Huan finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll learn. Let’s go to your room.”
As they reached Ye Ling’s room, Yu Huan commented, “Your room is quite hot. Being on the top floor, it’s uncomfortable in the summer. I suddenly think, maybe you shouldn’t come back. Just stay there. At least until summer is over.”
“How could that work? It’s not suitable,” Ye Ling said. She wasn’t 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.
“Well then, let’s learn quickly,” Ye Ling reminded. “I don’t want to see you faint from the heat in mv room.”
The movements of the health exercises weren’t complex. After teaching her twice, Yu Huan had pretty much learned them. Ye Ling instructed, “Since you’ve learned them, make sure to do them every day. If you stick with these exercises, your physique will improve. Don’t give up halfway.”
Yu Huan nodded. She knew Ye Ling was doing this for her good, so she didn’t mind Ye Ling’s thoroughness. Instead, she felt a warmth inside. “Don’t worry, Doctor Ye. I’ll keep at it.”
“Great, now you should head back. I’ll leave as well. Once I’m done reading these newspapers, I’ll return them to you.”
After leaving the dormitory building, Ye Ling retraced her steps. It was still early, so it wasn’t 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 “snake” crossed Ye Ling’s 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 hadn’t 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 didn’t have her small world, or if she wasn’t a doctor, it wouldn’t matter if she feared snakes. But now, her small world was her only trump card. Its most valuable function was producing various precious herbs..
