Chapter 263 - A Strange Feeling

As soon as Chen Yang’s words came out, the scene immediately erupted.

In fact, everyone’s heart was longing for the mushroom soup.

It’s just that others were too embarrassed to say it, and it was just that person who had said it earlier.

So when Chen Yang said there would be mushroom soup tonight, everyone was excitedly howling with joy.

“Folks, Yang Zi is so generous, we can’t be lazy either.

Let’s speed up the progress and clear the road!”

After a bout of excitement, someone immediately started setting the pace.

With that, everyone got back to work with renewed passion.

While everyone was excitedly working, Uncle Niu sidled up to Chen Yang with a hoe on his shoulder.

“Yang Zi, I understand that you’re paying for the meals out of your own pocket, but you don’t need to be so kind!

That mushroom soup is precious!

Aren’t you losing too much by doing this?”

Uncle Niu was somewhat worried for Chen Yang.

He felt that the road was being opened up for the whole area, not just for Chen Yang alone.

Logically speaking, Chen Yang shouldn’t be responsible for providing meals at all; everyone could just eat at home.

But Chen Yang was not only providing meals but also making them so good.

He was worried that Chen Yang would lose too much.

But this was what Chen Yang was thinking.

Although the road benefited everyone, in reality, Chen Yang stood to gain the most.

If the road remained blocked for a month, Chen Yang would lose at least several hundred thousand.

But with everyone coming to clear the road, it could all be done in just two or three days.

Compared to that, the cost of feeding everyone each day, including some wild mushrooms, wasn’t actually that high.

Plus, wild mushrooms would mature in batches every day.

With the road blocked, they couldn’t be transported out, and stockpiling them for a few days would surely affect their freshness.

Better to use them to feed everyone than to let them go to waste.

That was what Chen Yang was thinking.

“Uncle Niu, don’t worry about it.

I have it all figured out.

Everyone just eat without concern; it’s not going to break the bank,”

Chen Yang replied with a smile to Uncle Niu, then immediately went to move the stainless-steel barrel filled with mushroom soup this noon onto the truck.

“You guys keep working.

I’ll go ahead and start preparing the meal.

Tonight, we’ll have a good feast at the head of the village,”

Before leaving, Chen Yang shouted to everyone still working.

“Alright!

Yang Zi’s a stand-up guy!”

In the crowd, Heipi heard this and immediately gave Chen Yang a thumbs up, thinking him generous and righteous.

The rest felt similarly, believing that Chen Yang was a truly good man.

In just one day, Chen Yang had established a positive image in the hearts of the men from all over the area.

Everyone admired Chen Yang and were grateful for his goodness.

After leaving the landslide site, Chen Yang rode his electric tricycle back to Liuhe Village with the stainless-steel barrel.

At this time, Auntie Zhang was leading a group of Aunties in cleaning kitchenware and washing dishes.

Chen Yang unloaded the stainless-steel barrel from the vehicle.

“Auntie Zhang, could you please help wash this too?”

Chen Yang said.

Auntie Zhang looked up at Chen Yang, nodded with a smile, “Alright, just put it here, I’ll wash it for you right away.”

After saying that, Auntie Zhang resumed her bustling work.

Chen Yang didn’t idle either.

He went to the wild chicken farm, caught several large wild chickens, then picked some wild mushrooms from the greenhouse and handed them over to Auntie Zhang and the others.

Auntie Zhang and company didn’t hesitate; they immediately started boiling water to butcher the chickens as soon as they received them from Chen Yang.

They were incredibly fast.

Chen Yang stood at the head of the village watching Auntie Zhang and the others busy themselves for a while, and then, feeling that there was nothing for him to do there, he left.

“Auntie Zhang, let me know when you’re done.

I’ll come back later to make the mushroom soup for everyone,”

“Forget it!

Yang Zi, you get on with what you need to do; the Aunties will take care of things here,”

Auntie Zhang said cheerfully, nodding her head.

Afterward, Chen Yang went back home.

At this time, Wu Kexin, who had previously been delirious, had also woken up.

Her entire face had returned to its normal color, with no traces of feverish redness.

However, upon seeing Chen Yang, her face still flushed with color.

She remembered how, just a short while ago, she had been undressed, pinning Chen Yang to the ground, trying to take off his clothes.

Just thinking about it made her cheeks uncontrollably heat up.

“Mayor, are you feeling better?

No more discomfort?”

Chen Yang, unfazed, naturally approached and asked about her condition.

Wu Kexin nodded, “Nothing peculiar, it’s just that the wound is a little sore.”

“That’s normal, no wound would be painless.”

Chen Yang chuckled, and then he stepped forward, “Lift the blanket.”

“Ah?”

Wu Kexin was startled.

“Why should I lift the blanket?”

“Exactly, Chen Yang, why lift the blanket?

Kexin hasn’t put anything on.”

Yang Ruoxi blurted out without thinking.

“Ruoxi!”

Wu Kexin immediately felt even more embarrassed.

It was then that Yang Ruoxi realized she had spoken without thinking.

She gave an awkward laugh, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“Lifting the blanket is obviously to remove the needles, with all three of you here, what else could I do?”

Chen Yang was a bit amused and exasperated.

These three women seemed to be very guarded against him now, afraid that he would take advantage of them.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang felt he was being unfairly accused.

He hadn’t done anything wrong.

Today, it was Wu Kexin who initiated things, and he was a victim too.

But the three women weren’t thinking that much.

They just felt that Chen Yang had taken advantage of the situation, so they were on guard against him.

However, as soon as they heard Chen Yang talking about removing the needles, Yang Ruoxi and Li Han stepped aside from the bedside.

“Removing the needles is fine, but you can’t be dishonest, or I’ll kick your butt.”

Yang Ruoxi stood to the side, threatening Chen Yang fiercely.

“Me too, if you dare to bully Kexin again, I’ll kick you too.”

Li Han also lifted her leg, striking a pose as if she was ready to kick at any moment.

Now, Chen Yang felt he was more wronged than Dou E herself!

Nevertheless, he didn’t bother to explain himself.

He shrugged his nose and lifted the sheet from Wu Kexin’s body.

Yang Ruoxi and Li Han were right there, and Chen Yang had intended to be serious and clear his name.

But as soon as he lifted the sheet, his eyes became fixed.

So big…

such a white pair!

Gazing at the white expanse, Chen Yang felt that primal urge to bite down on them!

“Stop staring!

Pull out the needles quickly!”

Noticing Chen Yang’s gaze, Yang Ruoxi immediately urged him on, annoyed.

Chen Yang quickly collected himself.

“Ahem, alright.”

Chen Yang cleared his throat and with a swift motion, he removed all the needles from Wu Kexin’s body.

Seeing that all the needles on her body had been removed, Wu Kexin quickly covered herself with the blanket again.

At this moment, Wu Kexin’s entire face was flushed red.

She had never experienced lying in front of a man without wearing anything, and with two other people watching, no less.

The feeling was very strange, indescribable.

And there was another particularly odd point.

Lying in front of Chen Yang without any clothes on, she surprisingly didn’t resist the idea at all.

If it had been anyone else, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed.

So, the feeling was really odd.

“Now that the needles are out, there should be no problems, just need to change the dressing every day.”

Chen Yang said as he tidied up the silver needles.

“So can Kexin get out of bed and move around?”

Yang Ruoxi asked curiously.

Chen Yang couldn’t help but glance at her, “Of course she can, the wound from the snakebite isn’t big, and it doesn’t affect the muscles or bones.”

Hearing that Wu Kexin could be active, a smile appeared on Yang Ruoxi’s face.

“It’s good that she can get out of bed and move around; it would be so boring without Kexin.”

Yang Ruoxi pouted her lips cutely as she spoke.

Hearing this, Chen Yang chuckled, and Wu Kexin who was lying in bed couldn’t help but laugh as well.
