With a chuckle, Gu's mother burst out laughing, nudged Gu's father with her elbow, and said angrily, "He must be from ancient times; he's never even seen modern makeup techniques."

They were also amazed by their daughter's beauty; as parents, they must be quite proud.

Gu Xixi smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just take it as a compliment."

Shen Qingyan became wooden, nodding blankly, not daring to look at her again.

Unaware of anything amiss, Gu Xixi led Shen Qingyan forward and introduced everyone one by one, "These are my friends, whom I called to help. These two are my parents, one is my dad... also known as my father, Gu Yinian, and the other is my mother, my mother, named Chen Anna."

Shen Qingyan, dressed in blue, immediately bowed to greet his friends, then solemnly turned to Mr. and Mrs. Gu, bowing with his right fist inside and his left hand outside.

"So you are Miss Gu, my senior. I am Shen Qingyan, greetings!"

After studying for some time, Gu Xixi has gained some understanding of ancient etiquette, and that parallel world probably has some similarities with the ancient times of this world.

For example, the cupped-hand salute originated before the Zhou Dynasty and is suitable for blessing, saying goodbye and greeting. The left hand is considered the most honorable in the cupped-hand salute, and when the left hand is on the outside, it means sincerity and respect. It is generally used to see off or welcome guests, elders, and to worship gods.

If the right hand is on the outside, it is the correct posture for bowing at a funeral.

Gu's father instinctively reached out to shake hands, but Gu Xixi explained, "Here, we greet each other with a handshake. Just extend the opposite hand to the other person."

Shen Qingyan understood immediately and extended her right hand, readily accepting advice and demonstrating excellent learning ability.

"I've heard my daughter Xixi mention you before. You are indeed a handsome and elegant man. I owe a lot to you for the medicine this time. It helped suppress my attack in time."

"Xixi, you two chat first. We'll help with unloading and loading. Lord Shen, there's no need to rush." ​​Chu Feng could tell that the Gu family needed time, so he directed everyone to help, trying to save Shen Qingyan's time as much as possible.

It's better to talk about this life-saving matter a little longer.

Gu Xixi gave her a grateful look.

Shen Qingyan glanced at Gu Xixi first. Wasn't he supposed to be a friend? Turns out he's her father.

He then turned back, led Gu's father to sit down at the stone table, and pulled up the sleeve of the other hand with one hand, speaking sincerely.

“Uncle, you flatter me. It’s good that it works. Miss Gu said that you were not here before, so she couldn’t take your pulse and could only prescribe medicine based on your symptoms. I was afraid that there might be some inaccuracies in the diagnosis. I have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. If you don’t mind, may I take your pulse to check your condition? This will also make it easier for me to inform a good doctor and then modify the prescription.”

"Of course, Lord Shen, you're too kind." Father Gu hurriedly extended his hand. As expected of a top scholar, his conversation with him was truly like a gentle breeze.

He admired scholars most of all, especially those of high moral character and gentlemanly demeanor.

Shen Qingyan smiled and then began to take Gu's father's pulse. Gu's mother and Gu Xixi watched nervously. After about two minutes, Shen Qingyan got up.

"Uncle, you can rest assured. Your pulse is strong. Although there are some shortcomings, there may be opportunities. We, the juniors and the good doctors, will do our best."

Gu Xixi remembered the results of the herbal medicine test and quickly explained the current situation of taking the medicine. She took out her records and said, "Shen Qingyan, my father has already taken the first dose of that medicine. When he has an attack, the pain is quickly suppressed... By the way, are the herbs you prescribed for my father herbs from your world?"

The trace elements are all different.

“Of course, young lady, you said your friend’s father’s illness cannot be cured in your world, so I took it upon myself to make a prescription using herbs from our world, thinking it might have a different effect. Since this prescription has already been effective, there’s no need to drink the remaining two doses. I will bring you the improved prescription and herbs tomorrow.”

Shen Qingyan explained everything without asking about his friend becoming his father. Gu Xixi wanted to explain, but before she could utter a single word, Shen Qingyan smiled and said, "Miss, you don't need to explain further. I understand."

By this time, both large carts had been unloaded and loaded with new goods. The staff of the Supernatural Phenomena Management Bureau pushed the carts into the fog to test whether other people could pass through.

But when they reached the gate of the courtyard, the car could pass through, but the people could not take another step.

[System, is it true that no one else can travel to another world besides me and the other chosen ones?] Gu Xixi saw this and hurriedly asked. If that's the case, then in the future, she will be the only one going to another world.

It's strange and frightening.

[The first time you travel through the world, you will travel alone. For each new tradable dimension that appears, you can bring one more person. I will also travel with you in a virtual form. I will take care of everything for you.] The system's voice was calm. Gu Xixi exclaimed in surprise; it could even create a virtual form!

Why didn't you put on makeup and put one out to keep me company before?

The system remained silent, whether it didn't want to answer or couldn't answer. Gu Xixi was already used to it. She pouted and started helping Shen Qingyan move supplies.

Although it took some time, many hands make light work, and it only took half an hour to get twice the supplies. With the last ten minutes left, he leisurely ate his meal in front of everyone.

He also chatted with Chu Feng for a few minutes, sharing the different situations in the two worlds. Shen Qingyan was very interested. After the chat, he looked at Gu Xixi immediately, but looked away as soon as his gaze met her eyes.

Gu Xixi was completely unaware that Zhao Jing was smiling like an aunt, gesturing for Xu Yi to look as well. She wanted to speak in a low voice, but because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't control her voice and spoke very loudly.

"Look, Lord Shen's ears are red. People in ancient times were so easily embarrassed."

After she finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Zhao Jing was so embarrassed that she immediately covered her face. Everyone looked at Shen Qingyan's earlobe in surprise, then at Zhao Jing, feeling embarrassed for her.

Shen Qingyan's neck turned red this time. He hurriedly bowed and couldn't help but look at Gu Xixi with a timid yet affectionate gaze that made Gu Xixi's scalp tingle.

That look in your eyes is so strange.

"Gu... I'll be leaving now. Thank you all for your help." Shen Qingyan pulled the last batch of goods into the mist, and his usually calm and composed demeanor finally showed a hint of panic.

Everyone behind Gu Xixi couldn't help but laugh. Gu Xixi was confused and pointed to herself, asking, "Do I look very different with makeup on?"

As for such a strong reaction...

It looks really fun though. Next time she'll put on makeup and tease him properly. That's right, i people are their natural toys, hehe.

The boys didn't dare to offer any opinions on her question. Gu's parents just shook their heads, smiled, sighed, and left. "This child is so simple-minded."

Zhao Jing sighed, "You, there's not much difference, really not much. I'm going now, I need to go check in."

There's not much to say to a straight-laced woman.

I don't even understand what it feels like to be moved. Being moved is just a fleeting moment, requiring only a trigger, and you can't control it.

Besides, they live in two different worlds and aren't compatible, so what could she say?

Gu Xixi: ...

……

In the Great Huang Dynasty, in Xilan County, in Shen Qingyan's study.

Supplies were coming and going again, and the people in the county government were busy. Shen Qingyan composed herself and walked out of the study.

The constable came to report, "Sir, the statue that the people have made for Miss Gu Xixi is finished. Would you like to go and take a look?"
