Chapter 26 Such a great figure, so... oh my god!

Xia Zhi looked at Lu Beiting, whose face was flushed from coughing, put down the chicken coop in her hand, and quickly walked inside.

I picked up the kettle next to me, poured some hot water, and handed it to him.

Lu Beiting took the water vat from her hand, his gaze passing through Xia Zhi as he coldly looked at Xu Rufeng not far away.

Xu Rufeng's face stiffened for a moment, then he turned and said to Xia Zhi, "Xia Zhi, I'm going back now. You can call me anytime if you need any help."

Then he carried his things upstairs to the second floor.

"Oh dear." She hadn't properly thanked them yet.

When Xia Zhi turned around, Xu Rufeng was already gone.

Lu Beiting lowered his head and drank his water, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Did she care that much about Xu Rufeng?
No, why would he care about these things?

"I'll come back to give you the acupuncture later." With that, she went out again to settle the chicken down first.

After observing the open space, she had no choice but to put the chickens in a corner for now and bring back some wood tomorrow to build something.

I didn't go to the mountains today, so I don't know how the two little ones are doing.

Lu Beiting arrived at the door, looked at Xia Zhi who was busy outside, and after watching for a while, he turned his wheelchair over and said, "Go and pick up some usable sticks nearby, I'll help you."

Xia Zhi stared at him for a while, wondering what this man was up to.

Lu Beiting looked up at her with a cold expression. "What's wrong?"

Xia Zhi met the man's long, deep eyes and immediately turned and walked outside.

She picked up some trees of all shapes and sizes nearby, first to build a simple chicken coop, and then to fence off a vegetable garden with the rest. Tomorrow she would go up the mountain to find a few thicker ones.

Lu Beiting stared blankly at the chickens in the coop for a while, only snapping back to reality when he heard a noise behind him.

Xia Zhi put down a pile of things, then looked at him.

After finding a good spot, Lu Beiting picked up a stone and forcefully hammered it into the ground.

Xia Zhi watched from the side, and then curiously stepped forward to push it, only to find it was quite sturdy.

Lu Beiting skillfully set it up, then turned to look at her and gestured for her to put the chicken inside.

Xia Zhi picked up the chicken coop next to her, put the whole family inside, and then took out some vegetable leaves that someone had given her and threw them in.

The mother hen and her chicks came to peck at the vegetable leaves, and Xia Zhi smiled as she watched this.

Then, fearing it might fall over, I pushed it a few times, but it remained as steady as a mountain. Only then did I feel relieved and couldn't help but marvel at the man's strength.

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. It's not that windy against the wall. We can just put up some plastic sheets during the rainy season."

Xia Zhi turned to look at him and asked curiously, "Do you often help the villagers?"

"Just passing by, nothing more."

In the past, when there were landslides or other disasters around the area on rainy days, I would help set up shelters when I went there. As long as no one was hurt, it wasn't a big deal.

"Let's go back inside." Xia Zhi walked behind him and pushed him into the house, then took out her acupuncture kit and went over to give him acupuncture.

Lu Beiting glanced down at Xia Zhi, who was focused on her work; she was completely different when she was serious.

However, he soon lost his attention to Xia Zhi. The pain in his leg was even more intense than last time, and soon his forehead was covered in sweat.

Xia Zhi picked up a handkerchief from the side and handed it to him, "I'll go get something to eat."

When Xia Zhi arrived at the cafeteria, Chen Yan immediately smiled when she saw her. "Xia's here! Go ahead, you're free right now."

"Thank you, aunt."

Xia Zhi prepared something nutritious this time, adding some minced meat, and left the remaining half for Chen Yan before leaving.

"Oh, this child, you're too kind. It's no big deal, such a big piece of meat." Chen Yan said, but still accepted it. She would add some more for the children's extra meal tomorrow. When Xia Zhi returned, she saw Lu Beiting's white vest was soaked with sweat as soon as she reached the door. His upper body was taut, revealing smooth muscle lines, and his abdominal muscles were faintly visible as he breathed, rising and falling.

Add to that Lu Beiting's face, overflowing with hormones yet carrying a hint of asceticism, and Xia Zhi swallowed hard, completely losing her composure.

Lu Beiting tilted his head back uncomfortably, revealing his sexy Adam's apple.

Xia Zhi froze in place, her steps faltering, staring intently at the man like a wolf. This man was just too much.

Lu Beiting squinted and looked at her from the side. Xia Zhi gasped and shuddered. She then placed the pot on the table, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She then patted her cheeks with her little hands before stepping forward to stand next to Lu Beiting, and even reached out to pinch his leg.

"How about it?"

Lu Beiting shook his head.

Xia Zhi gritted her teeth, pinched his firm thigh muscles, and then twisted them forcefully.

Lu Beiting's eyes lit up with joy, and he looked up at her, "I have a feeling for you."

After Xia Zhi removed the needles, she massaged his legs.

Although Lu Beiting didn't feel anything, he still felt a little awkward, so he turned his head away from her.

Xia Zhi could see his ripe ear tips hidden under his hair with just a glance up.

After massaging for a while, Xia Zhi shook her hand because it was sore. "Let's eat first."

She brought over the cooked medicinal porridge and handed it to him.

Lu Beiting accepted the bowl, thanked her, and was about to eat when he was stunned when he saw the bowl in Xia Zhi's hand, which was as big as her palm.

In comparison, this can hardly be called a bowl; it's more like a basin.

"Can you get full eating so little?" He then frowned and prepared to scoop some more food into her bowl.

"Hey, hey, that's enough, I can't eat this much." Xia Zhi put the bowl behind her with one hand and quickly stopped him with the other.

Lu Beiting frowned, then put down his bowl and began to eat, a sense of doubt creeping into his mind.

Is it because he ate too much?

After Xia Zhi finished eating and drinking, a satisfied look appeared on her face. After clearing away the dishes, she went to tidy up her own things.

"and many more."

Xia Zhi turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression. He couldn't possibly ask her to stay overnight, could he?

Lu Beiting pulled out a wad of cash from under his pillow and handed it to her. "Take all of this and spend it. Buy something nice. Don't go hungry."

Xia Zhi was shocked to see so many large bills in his hand. How could this person have so much money? Didn't his parents ask him for money?

"How do you have so much money?" Xia Zhi didn't take the money; she was just curious that such an odd family could save up so much.

“The military will reimburse my food, clothing, and other expenses, so I won’t need much money.” Lu Beiting’s thin lips pressed into a straight line when he saw that she didn’t take the money.

Is this too little?
"Oh, no need, I have money." Xia Zhi nodded and then refused. The money she got from the Gu family was enough for her to use for a long time.

"Here, take it. I can't just eat your food for free." Lu Beiting said, stuffing it into her arms.

"Oh dear, I already said no." He's a hero in every sense of the word, and it's nothing for her to do her little bit, especially since she's also gotten something out of him.

Xia Zhi reached out and pushed him, but she stumbled and fell forward.

Both of them froze.
