Hu Feng pushed the pushcart over and saw the look on her face. He couldn’t help but ask: “What did you talk about?”

Bai Zhi sighed. “Li Bobo said that he has a 16-year-old grandson that looking for a marriage candidate. He thinks that I am suitable and want me to meet his grandson.”

Hu Feng raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Zhi from head to toe. He shook his head and said: “Village Chief really has bad eyes.”

Bai Zhi looked at him and touched her face: “What’s wrong with me? I have a natural beauty, right? I look thin and short, but that’s because I’m still young. My body will still develop.” She doesn’t believe that her body will always stay like this and will not grow up anymore.

Hu Feng looked at Bai Zhi’s confident face. Her eyes were bright like stars. Her nose and lips looked beautiful. Her face has a fair complexion. She looked more pleasing than when he first saw her. After all, her face was full of bruises at that time. He can’t see her actual look.

His impressions about women were not rich. He doesn’t know what words define beauty. But for now, Bai Zhi has the most beautiful face he had ever seen.

“So, did you agree?” He asked casually, but his eyes were fixated on her face, showing a trace of an inexplicable sense of urgency. Even his heartbeat accelerated.

Bai Zhi shrugged her shoulders: “What’s it got to do with you?” He wanted to know, but she won’t give an answer, who asks him to say that Village Chief Li has no good eyesight?

Hu Feng’s face became ugly, but he calmly said: “It’s time for you to give me needle treatment, don’t forget.”

If Hu Feng didn’t remind her, she will really forget. There were many things happening these past few days. She was not too worried about Hu Feng’s illness. Hu Feng’s illness will not be cured in just two or three days, so she was not that worried inside her heart.

“Right!” Bai Zhi was feeling guilty. Hu Feng must be very anxious. He must be so anxious to restore his memory, but she never really put his business to heart. If she remembered correctly, she only gives him needle treatment twice and gave him two cups of ready-made medicine. And when she got so busy, she leaves his business behind.

All the way back home, Hu Feng didn’t say a word. He went straight back to his room, with a face that looked like everyone owes him a big sum of money.

Hu Changlin helped Bai Zhi to unload the wooden barrels to the pushcart, then asked: “What happened to him? He seemed to have a long face.”

Bai Zhi laughed it out and said: “Nothing, doesn’t he always look like this?”

Hu Changlin didn’t ask another question, his son, Hu Feng does really looked like this when Bai Zhi and Zhao Lan first came. His face always looks like everyone owes him money. After the mother and daughter moved into their place, their family gradually became lively. He no longer has a cold face. He speaks more and more. He even occasionally smile. He gets along with people more easily. He completely changed. He became more friendly.

Today, Hu Feng obviously was not in his normal self: Did the two of them fight?

After unloading her things, Bai Zhi went to Hu Feng’s room with her silver needles. Hu Feng was sitting in front of his desk that was under the window as usual. He was holding a dilapidated book in his hand and reading it with full of concentration.

She doesn’t know if he was really concentrating. But, he really stared at that page for a long time without turning it.

In order to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere, Bai Zhi joked: “If you keep staring at the book like that, you will burn a hole in there.”

Hu Feng slightly swept his eyes at her. He closed the book in his hand and said: “What’s it got to do with you?”
