Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Whitening ointment?"

On the way back, Lin Xi signaled Chen Lan and the others to go first, while she stayed behind and started talking to Chen Caiqing.

"Yes, Sister Xiaoyun heard that your aunt works at the health center, and since you've been in the sun for so many days just like us, yet your skin is still so white, she asked me to ask you."

Lin Xi nodded and explained the whole story in a concise and concise manner.

Chen Caiqing frowned when he heard this and subconsciously looked at his arm.

Under the rolled-up cuffs, one could see a forearm that was dazzlingly white and incredibly delicate. If one only looked at this arm, no one would have guessed that this was the skin of an educated youth who had worked in the countryside for a long time. Rather, it was the skin that could only be cultivated by a pampered young lady.

Chen Caiqing's heart tightened, and he subconsciously reached out, pulled down his sleeves, and covered his arms.

She had been rolling around in the fields a few days ago, and not only did she feel dizzy and dizzy from the sun, but her skin was also peeling, so she exchanged for sunscreen in the system.

But products produced by the system must be high-quality. The sunscreen not only protects against the sun, but also has a very significant whitening effect. Unfortunately, she has been so busy with various farm work these days that she has not noticed the changes in herself at all.

After hearing what Lin Xi said, she suddenly reacted. Thinking of how she was executed by Li Weihua in her previous life because of these things that shouldn't appear in this era, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Chen Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?" Perhaps noticing that something was wrong with Chen Caiqing's expression, Lin Xi couldn't help but speak with some concern.

"It's okay." Chen Caiqing realized that he had overreacted and hurriedly shook his head, suppressing the emotions surging in his chest. He forced a smile and smiled at Lin Xi.

"I do have some ointment. My aunt sent it to me a while ago, but I just used it up two days ago. If Zhao Zhiqing wants it, please ask my aunt if she still has it when I write to her next time."

"Ah - so that's how it is. Then let me thank you on behalf of Sister Xiaoyun." After hearing her say this, Lin Xi waved her hands embarrassedly.

"It's nothing, just something I mentioned casually." Chen Caiqing shook her head nonchalantly, but then added, "But that ointment is a bit expensive. A small bottle costs 100 yuan, and it may not be available all the time. I need to make this clear to Zhao Zhiqing in advance."

"Hiss--" After hearing this, Lin Xi couldn't help but take a breath, as if she was shocked by the price.

Seeing this, Chen Caiqing couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. In this era when ordinary workers only earned a few dozen yuan a month, it was naturally impossible for a small bottle of ointment to be sold at a sky-high price of 100 yuan. She said this just to dispel Zhao Xiaoyun's idea. After all, the fewer people who had seen the things in her system, the safer she would be.

"Then I'll go back and ask Sister Xiaoyun first. If she still wants it, you can write to your aunt and ask her next time." Lin Xi thought about it and added.

"Okay." Looking at Lin Xi's conflicted expression, Chen Caiqing knew that his goal had been achieved, so he relaxed and nodded.

"By the way, I've been busy these days and haven't thanked you properly yet. The sunburn ointment you gave me last time was very useful. My cousin's wound healed quickly after applying it, and it hasn't recurred in recent days." After completing the task of asking for help on behalf of Zhao Xiaoyun, Lin Xi thanked Chen Caiqing for what she had done last time.

"What's the big deal? Later, you sent me some pickled vegetables from your hometown. Mr. Song has also helped me several times these days. We went to the countryside together, so it's only natural for us to help each other. There's no need to keep thanking me."

Chen Caiqing waved her hand indifferently. After observing for these days, she was completely sure that Lin Xi was still the same Lin Xi as before, and was not reborn like her. Therefore, she gradually gave up the idea of testing her.

Because Lin Xi has a simple personality, Chen Caiqing wants to use her to build a good relationship with Song Guanwen, who will soar to a high position in the future. Therefore, with her deliberate approach, her relationship with Lin Xi is not as good as that of Chen Lan and others who live in the same house with Lin Xi, but it is still pretty good.

The two were walking and chatting when they suddenly heard a clear bell sound coming from behind them. Lin Xi was stunned at first, then his face lit up with joy. He quickly turned his head and looked behind him.

Sure enough, in the afterglow of the setting sun, three docile yellow cows were walking slowly and leisurely behind them, and behind the last cow was a familiar tall figure.

"Cousin!" Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and she jumped and waved to Song Guanwen who was not far away.

Song Guanwen had already seen the two figures in front of him, so he quietly drove the cattle faster and caught up with the two people. Now that he saw Lin Xi had noticed him, his expression softened and he nodded at her.

Seeing the actions of the two, Chen Caiqing, who had long seen through the secret between them, glanced at Lin Xi, who was heartless and smiling innocently beside him. A hint of teasing flashed in his eyes. He nodded at Song Guanwen who was not far away, and then said to Lin Xi beside him, "I'll go back first", and left very tactfully.

Lin Xi didn't notice the eye contact between the two. Seeing that Chen Caiqing had left first, she trotted to Song Guanwen, smiled and looked up at him.

"Why are you leaving so late today?"

Watching Lin Xi jumping and skipping towards him like a little rabbit, looking at him with her face full of curved eyebrows and eyes, Song Guanwen twisted his slightly hot fingertips, and then he barely resisted the urge to reach out and touch her face which was a little red from the sun.

"We drove the cattle a little far away today. What were you talking about just now? You looked so happy?" As he spoke, Song Guanwen reached into his pocket, took out a bag of green stuff and handed it to Lin Xi.

"What is this?" Lin Xi took it with some curiosity, opened the layers of carefully wrapped leaves, and after seeing what was inside, she couldn't help but let out a low cry of surprise.

I saw dozens of shiny black mulberries lying quietly among the green mulberry leaves. In addition, there were several pink and white wild strawberries, which were emitting a faint sweet fragrance.

"Where did you pick this?" Lin Xi held the fruit and looked at Song Guanwen with bright eyes.

"I picked it up on the roadside." Seeing her happy expression, Song Guanwen couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Mulberries and wild berries are not rare things in the countryside, but there are many wild fruits and many children in the village. Many fruits have been picked up by the impatient children before they are ripe.

Therefore, although Song Guanwen said it lightly, in fact, he had specially driven the cattle to the edge of the forest today and wandered around in the forest for a long time before finding these wild fruits. He was even pricked by wild thorns several times on his hands and feet.

"Where did you pick them? Why haven't I seen them before? The mulberry tree at the entrance of the village was clearly full of fruits the day before, but the next day, it was completely picked clean. Even many of the branches were broken."

Lin Xi shook her head regretfully, picked up a mulberry from her palm and threw it into her mouth. She was immediately so sweet that her eyes curved in smile. Then she picked up another one and handed it to Song Guanwen, "It's so sweet, cousin, you have one too."

She thought Song Guanwen would reach out to take it, but the next moment, she saw the man in front of her suddenly lean over and quickly snatch the juicy fruit from her fingertips.

His movements were light and quick, like a bird stealing food. His thin lips just brushed the slender stalk of the mulberry without touching her fingertips.

But Lin Xi was still startled by his sudden action and her fingers trembled. She subconsciously looked up at him.

Song Guanwen was seen holding a fruit in his mouth, with a purple-red mark of juice on his lips, which was particularly eye-catching against his light-colored lips.

Song Guanwen looked at Lin Xi, his Adam's apple moved as he swallowed the fruit, his eyelashes trembling violently, but he pretended to be nonchalant and pursed his lips, "What's wrong?"
