Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

After Penny left, Sean's eyelids fluttered slightly, then slowly opened.

He touched his forehead, and it seemed that the soft touch of Penny's lips and a faint fragrance were still lingering there, just like a poppy blooming in spring, beautiful and charming.

Recalling the opportunity just now, Sean's lips curled up into a smile and sympathy.

In fact, Sean had already woken up the moment Penny walked into the ward.

In a daze, he could feel Penny's breath and the sound of her low footsteps as she tiptoed into the ward.

When he was wondering whether to wake up at this moment, a thin hand as thin as boneless held his hand outside the quilt.

Those hands were as warm as jade, soft and delicate.

Sean could clearly feel the warmth and slight dampness of her palm, and the slightly hardened and rough feeling of her fingers from doing housework.

The nail of my index finger was being gently massaged by the hands that were responsible for the family's livelihood.

Then Sean heard Penny's inner voice, felt her deep affection for him, and heard about his experiences with Penny during his childhood.

"I didn't expect that my childhood actions would leave such a deep impression on her. What a girl who is easily satisfied." Sean held his breath, trying not to let his body temperature rise and his heartbeat speed up due to the ups and downs of emotions.

It's not time to wake up yet, he told himself.

He was afraid that his sudden awakening would scare this sensitive and fragile girl, causing her to hide back in her cave like a frightened little rabbit.

Sean lay straight and stiff like this, listening to Penny's confession and troubles like a tree hole.

He felt more and more pity and fondness for this gentle, intellectual, kind and strong woman.

Sean really wanted to wake up immediately and respond to Penny's feelings, tell her how amazing she was, taking care of her mother alone, working to support herself in her spare time, taking care of and teaching a group of lively and active children alone, and keeping everything in order.

She is simply an ideal wife!

But Sean understood Penny's situation and that childhood trauma would take time to heal.

Coming from a poor family, she wanted to protect her only remaining self-esteem and didn't want to owe anyone anything.

Behind the strong appearance lies fragility and sensitivity.

He knew that if he woke up now, Penny would most likely choose to escape. If he wanted to have further development with her at that time, he could only use a tough attitude to force her to admit her feelings.

The consequences of this were unpredictable. Therefore, Sean could only suppress the surging emotions in his heart and be a wooden man quietly.

It would be better to wait until we get to know each other better, gradually increase her self-confidence, and let her take the initiative to express her feelings, Sean thought.

The key now is how to solve the museum's operational problems without making a fuss. Penny said there should be a year's room for recovery. The time is neither long nor short. What should I do?

You don't have the money to rebuild a school? No, the farm is so big that it's more than enough to build a house.

No, this plan should be kept as a backup option and not be used unless it is absolutely necessary. For now, the focus should be on solving the museum’s problem. He fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Sean felt a warm breeze brushing against his cheek, and then a warm touch brushing against his forehead.

Time stops here!

"She kissed her forehead?" By the time Sean reacted, Penny had already left the room.

"You're awake, how do you feel?" Penny informed Harvey after she left, and Harvey walked in.

"Where is this? Why am I here? What happened? I remember I went out to do something this morning." Sean and Harvey were competing with each other in acting skills.

He learned from Malone that some people in the town knew about the existence of the Explorers Guild and would cooperate with them to complete the mission.

For example, Dr. Harvey and Mayor Lewis in front of him.

They only knew that the Explorers' Guild was a special unit similar to the National Security Bureau, but they didn't know what this organization actually did.

Harvey came over and took his temperature, then calmly said:

"You fainted on the road and were sent here. I've given you glucose. How do you feel now?" He touched his nose awkwardly, glanced out the window and continued,

"Sean, you have to take care of your rest and don't get too tired from managing the farm. Didn't I tell you to take more nutrition when you came for a checkup last time because of a headache?"

[Harvey, you thick-browed guy, I didn't expect you to be such a good actor! How can you be so serious and talk nonsense? If I wasn't unconscious, I would have believed it myself] Sean complained in his heart.

"Really? No wonder my headaches have been getting worse lately. There's so much work to do on the farm and it's spring now. Time waits for no one." But on the surface he still pretended to be weak.

"Thank you. By the way! Who sent me back? I have to thank him very much." Sean had to act out his role to the fullest. He asked Harvey about his non-existent benefactor to see how he would respond and whether he would tell on the people from the Explorers Guild.

You're probably going to break into a cold sweat, Harvey!

"It was the mayor, Lewis, who sent you here. You can go ask him later." Harvey passed the ball to another person who knew the situation, Lewis.

The two men acted out a rivalry across the air.

"By the way! Miss Penny just asked about your condition with a nervous look on her face. She stayed here to take care of you for a while while you were unconscious." Harvey showed a playful smile that every man understands and quickly changed the subject.

"You are so lucky, Penny is a good girl, you must cherish her! You make me jealous, when will I find true love?"

[I didn't expect that Dr. Harvey, who is in his thirties, is still single. With his conditions, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a partner, right? Forget it, I won't provoke him.]

"I will." Touching his forehead, Sean said firmly, both to Harvey and to himself.

"The temperature is good. You can be discharged from the hospital if there is no problem after observing for another half an hour." Harvey took the thermometer from Sean's armpit and played his role conscientiously.

"How much is the total?" Sean settled the bill with Jenny at the front desk.

"So shady!" Sean walked out of the clinic. As for Harvey charging him 50G for the consultation in order to avoid being caught, Sean could only swallow his anger and accept it!
