37: I feel even more guilty. She really deserves to die.

Three hours later.

Chen Fang walked on the dirt road in the village, accompanied by a slightly plump woman.

The woman, dressed in a grey cloth shirt and carrying a medicine box on her shoulder, smiled kindly, “Your production team really found the right person with me.

Doctors from outside the mountains might have superb medical skills, but they don’t necessarily know the ailments encountered in these mountains better than I do.”

This was Uncle Liu’s wife, Dr. Liu.

She walked with Chen Fang along the village’s dirt road towards the guesthouse.

“Teacher Chen, you might not be used to eating mountain food.

Keep the lamb chops for yourself; don’t be polite with us, Uncle and Auntie.

Just tell us if you need anything.”

“Uncle Liu accompanied me climbing the mountain all morning; he’s already taken great care of me.

Please don’t be so polite,” Chen Fang said with a smile, holding the insulated box.

The production team gave him 800 grams of lamb chops.

He asked the chef to cook 300 grams, leaving one catty of lamb chops for Uncle Liu to thank him for lunch.

He didn’t give all of it to Uncle Liu for two reasons.

Firstly, Uncle Liu was thin-skinned; if he specifically gave him 800 grams of lamb chops, he was afraid Uncle Liu would be tossing and turning all night, wondering how to return the favor.

When would the cycle of repaying meals end?

So he said that the production team gave 800 grams and he was sharing a portion with Uncle Liu, which felt more down-to-earth and human.

Secondly, he was still short eight thousand negative emotion points, and there was a ready-made experience monster.

Why not farm a wave?

He kept 300 grams and ate it with the window open; someone would surely smell it and feel resentment out of envy.

The logistics supervisor, knowing he was familiar with Uncle Liu and was going to his house anyway, asked him to help bring Dr. Liu to Zhao Jin.

The benefit was extra food for him at night.

Chen Fang led Dr. Liu to Zhao Jin’s door and knocked, “Are you there?”

“Yes.” Soon, the sound of someone hopping on one leg came from inside the room.

Just then, Dr. Liu’s nose suddenly felt a bit itchy.

She walked two steps to the side, covered her mouth, and quietly sneezed.

Zhao Jin opened the door, her hand on the doorframe, balancing on her right foot like a golden rooster.

“What’s wrong?”

Chen Fang, thinking Dr. Liu was still behind him, said, “To apply medicine for you.”

Zhao Jin blinked, looking at the doorway where only Chen Fang stood.

Apply medicine?

You, you, you want to apply medicine for me?

I consider you a friend, you, you, you… What the heck?!

“Thank you, but no!”

After saying that, she slammed the door shut with a bang.

Zhao Jin’s negative emotion points + 666!

Chen Fang was slightly stunned, looking at the closed door, a bit bewildered.

He was just bringing Dr. Liu to see her; why was she so agitated?

Didn’t Pan Pengpeng say she also wanted Dr. Liu to take a look?

What was going on?

Chen Fang looked down at himself, his gaze falling on the insulated box with lamb chops in his hand.

Ah?

Did she smell the lamb chops and misunderstand (discover) that he wanted to be a jerk by using roasted lamb chops?

No way?

Does she have a dog’s nose?

But… 666 negative emotion points from just one sentence.

Don’t leave yet; talk to her a few more times, and he’ll be able to draw a prize tonight, right?

Chen Fang cleared his throat, “The local uncles and aunties all say that with local herbal medicine applied, it recovers quickly.”

“No need!” Zhao Jin’s resolute voice came from inside the door.

Zhao Jin’s negative emotion points + 666!

That’s strange; she won’t apply medicine just because she smells something?

Or is her foot not hurting anymore?

Forget it, who knows what she’s thinking.

Chen Fang turned around and said, “Dr. Liu, let’s forget it then.

I’m sorry to have bothered you with the trip.”

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard an electronic sound prompt in his mind:

Zhao Jin’s negative emotion points + 666!

Immediately after, the door slowly opened, and Zhao Jin poked her head out, her eyes darting around, “Um…”

Chen Fang was a bit confused.

What’s happening?

Where did the 666 negative emotion points come from?

She firmly refused, then he said he was leaving, and she got negative emotions and even opened the door?

Zhao Jin wasn’t the type of person who says “no” but secretly wants it, was she?

Besides, they weren’t in that kind of relationship.

Besides saying he was leaving, what else did he say?

He seemed to have only said, “Dr. Liu, then…”

Hey, wait, Dr. Liu?

A jolt of electricity ran through his mind, and Chen Fang’s eyes widened slightly.

Holy cow?

No way?

She didn’t see Dr. Liu?

He took a step back, “No, big sister, you thought I was going to apply medicine for you?

You think I’m a pervert?”

“Ah?” Zhao Jin’s gaze flickered, she glanced at him, then quickly looked away, “No, no, I just felt a bit unwell and wanted to be alone.

I couldn’t control my temper.

I’m sorry, I’m actually very grateful to you.”

Believe you, my foot.

Chen Fang narrowed his eyes, “Dr. Liu’s husband is the villager accompanying me.

I just went to find Uncle Liu and helped the production team bring Dr. Liu over.

I’m just a warm-hearted good young man!”

Zhao Jin scratched her head awkwardly.

It really seemed to be the case.

He swapped flashlights with Pan Pengpeng, saved Guo Congxin from a venomous snake, and even lent her an electric fly swatter yesterday.

Experience told her that Chen Fang treated everyone kindly, yet she had just subconsciously believed online rumors instead of her own experience.

She subconsciously thought he was the one applying the medicine and didn’t ask another question…

Ah, she felt even more guilty.

She truly deserved to die.

I’m sorry!

But she couldn’t possibly admit it, could she?

That would be too embarrassing.

Forget it, she really hoped he could feel her apology.

Zhao Jin’s negative emotion points + 333!

Chen Fang felt it.

Clearly, these 333 negative emotion points must be guilt, right?

In that case, don’t blame him for being impolite!

The next moment, Zhao Jin saw his handsome face, a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth, his smile tinged with sadness and helplessness.

He gently shook his head, “It’s okay, I’m used to being treated this way.

You don’t have to take it to heart.”

“Ah?” Zhao Jin was slightly stunned, feeling even more guilty, “Don’t overthink it.

I was just worried about how to participate in the show tomorrow, I didn’t mean anything else.”

Chen Fang looked up, as if relieved, and gave a warm smile, “Really?

I overthought it; I’m sorry.

Everyone thinks of me that way, I didn’t expect you all would actually be willing to believe me.”

His voice carried a hint of self-mockery, yet also immense gratitude, making Zhao Jin feel even worse.

Zhao Jin gripped the doorframe, her gaze darting around, “It’s nothing, we’re all friends.”

“Thank you all.” Chen Fang gave a warm smile and turned to Dr. Liu, “Dr. Liu, thank you for your trouble.”

It wasn’t that he was soft-hearted, but rather that notifications like “Zhao Jin’s negative emotion points + 555 + 166 + 266” kept popping up in his mind.

If this continued, he wouldn’t be able to hold back his laughter.

His face was truly suitable for doing bad things.

He could practically imagine how explosive the system data would be when he clarified things with his fans!

“It’s nothing,” Dr. Liu said with a kind smile, examining Zhao Jin’s ankle, “Teacher Zhao, let me help you sit inside.”

“Thank you, Dr. Liu.” Zhao Jin hopped inside with Dr. Liu’s support.

“I’ve brought the person.

I’ll leave first then.” Chen Fang turned, just about to pretend to admire the scenery and eat roasted lamb chops in the courtyard, when Zhao Jin’s voice came from behind him.

“Hey, um…”

Chen Fang turned back, seeing Zhao Jin’s troubled expression, stammering.

She was still feeling guilty, right?

As a friendly and united good young man, of course, he should comfort her now!

Chen Fang smiled brightly, “Do you want some roasted lamb leg?”

Saying that, he placed the insulated box on the windowsill and unscrewed the lid.

The aroma of roasted lamb chops spread through the air, the savory scent of lamb mixed with the spicy fragrance of cumin and chili powder, dancing in the air, stimulating the nasal passages.

Zhao Jin’s negative emotion points + 666!
