"Really?"

Only after losing something do you know its real value!

Qu Linger had lost her healthy mom before, so now, hearing Hu Xiaobei say he could bring her healthy mom back, she was extremely excited and happy.

Because for her, this news was the happiest news she could hear at this stage.

"Of course it's true! I might lie to anyone, but I'd never lie to you. I've mentioned this to you before!"

Seeing Qu Linger so excited, Hu Xiaobei's lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke softly.

"Mm!"

Qu Linger spoke shyly, and at the same time, she recalled the ambiguous conversation she had with Hu Xiaobei before...

It was at that time that she and Hu Xiaobei expressed their feelings to each other...

While thinking this, a light teasing voice reached Qu Linger's ears.

"Hey, Teacher Linger, shouldn't we leave now!"

"Exactly! Staying here longer feels like being a third wheel!"

"Absolutely right!"

Upon hearing this teasing whisper, the blushing Qu Linger looked up to see Han Yueyue and the others smiling at her.

Knowing they were clearly teasing her, Qu Linger angrily whispered, "You little bastards, what are you up to? Have you not got enough homework? Fine, each of you, go practice your basic skills for two hours over there."

...

"Teacher, we're wrong!"

"Yes, we're wrong, please don't punish us!"

"Really, we won't dare anymore!"

Upon hearing Qu Linger announce the punishment, they blinked quickly and softened.

They knew that if they really practiced basic skills for two hours, they wouldn't get anything done today.

Seeing them surrender so quickly, Qu Linger's lips curled into a smug smile.

"You still have a lot to learn before you can compete with me!"

After finishing with pride, Qu Linger turned to look at Hu Xiaobei, and in that instant, her proud expression turned into a gentle shyness...

"You're quick to switch!"

Watching her transition, Hu Xiaobei softly praised...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei looked at Qu Linger's mom...

Seeing her giving him a slightly playful look, Hu Xiaobei coughed, "Auntie, how are you feeling now?"

"Wonderful!"

"Alright! Let me check your pulse again, just to make sure!"

"Okay!"

Responding softly, she quickly extended her hand...

Hu Xiaobei felt her decisiveness, chuckled softly, and sat down again...

Everyone crowded around once more at that moment.

This time, they weren't very nervous because they fully understood Hu Xiaobei's capabilities.

...

"Auntie, in the coming week, I'll come by every day to help with treatment. After a week, your health should completely recover!"

After checking her pulse again, Hu Xiaobei spoke gently...

"Alright!"

She nodded happily...

Previously, she had felt a noticeable improvement in her health.

This change had led her to trust Hu Xiaobei to an incredibly high degree.

In this situation, she naturally wouldn't disagree.

"Alright, Auntie, go back inside and rest well. Remember, in the next few days, try not to let your emotions fluctuate drastically."

"Okay, I'll try to keep it in check."

"Mm!"

Nodding again, Hu Xiaobei watched Qu Lei help her into the main room of the small courtyard.

Knowing this was finished, Hu Xiaobei clapped his hands lightly and said, "Alright, let's not stay here anymore!"

Alright, let's not stay here anymore!

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, they all nodded along...

...

Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei, Han Yueyue, and Qu Linger arrived at the small river behind the village.

Facing the gentle breeze, none of the three spoke...

Feeling the atmosphere getting awkward, Hu Xiaobei coughed and said, "Hey, take a good look around. How's the environment in our Xiaohe Village? Isn't it particularly nice?"

Holding their thoughts, upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's slightly awkward question, they carefully glanced around and shared a shy look!

Soon, they said in unison, "It's very nice, really very nice!"

Hearing them speak up, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and pointed to the little boat ahead, "Our Xiaohe Village plans to develop a river boating project, but it hasn't started yet. How about we try it out today?"

"Sure!"

Agreeing, they turned to look at the little wooden boat floating along the lake water.

They knew sitting on it while rocking on the river should be quite nice...

"Alright, let's head out then!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei took the lead and walked forward.

A minute later, Hu Xiaobei jumped onto the wooden boat by the riverbank.

After trying out the boat, confirming there were no issues, Hu Xiaobei quickly looked at them.

Only then did Hu Xiaobei notice their nervousness.

With a subtle twitch of his lips, Hu Xiaobei spoke, "What's wrong with you? Are you worried about my skills or afraid you'll fall into the water?"

"Yes!"

They exchanged glances and quickly nodded...

This left Hu Xiaobei feeling embarrassed...

His lips twitched a few times, and Hu Xiaobei mumbled in frustration, "Do you have to be so straightforward? This is making me really embarrassed!"

"We're just joking!"

"Exactly! We might not trust anyone else, but of course we trust you!"

Explaining this, they stepped towards Hu Xiaobei's location.

With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei extended his hand, and soon he pulled them onto the small boat.

After taking the new life vests, Hu Xiaobei handed them over.

They smiled and quickly put them on...

After putting them on, they reached out to scoop up the cool river water, saying, "Alright, let's set off!"

"Mm!"

...

This river originally wasn't very clean...

But now, it's well-cleaned; after swiftly rowing to the center of the river, Hu Xiaobei slowed down.

"How's the environment here?"

"It's wonderful!"

As they responded, they turned to observe the surroundings...

They found the place truly beautiful!

It's really like the Immortal Realm...

From here, looking over Xiaohe Village, it's enveloped in mist...

Beautiful!

Exceptionally beautiful!

Upon hearing such amazed expressions, Hu Xiaobei smiled lightly and said, "In the future, I plan to grow a large field of lotus here, then, we can boat amidst the lotus and pick them!"

"Xiaobei, I'm really curious what's in your mind that you can come up with so many great ideas!"

"Exactly!"

Upon hearing their amazed remarks, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and whispered, "You guys are just flattering me. Ideas of this level should be easy for anyone to come up with."

With a light smile, they exchanged glances and softly replied, "Anyway, we just think you're amazing!"

"Absolutely!"

"I..."

Hu Xiaobei chuckled awkwardly, not really knowing what to say next...

...

"Xiaobei, really, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, my mom might have stayed depressed!"

After a while, Qu Linger earnestly looked at Hu Xiaobei and spoke quite seriously...

Upon hearing such a serious remark, Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brow and said, "Linger, didn't I tell you before? Don't be so polite with me, okay? What's this? Not listening now? Or do you want me to spank your bottom?"
