Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

My second uncle took a stack of bathhouse vouchers, his eyes wide with surprise.

"I'm telling you, you need to control yourself! You should really get a girlfriend!"

Ye Chen said irritably, "These are also what I won in the dice game, I won them especially for you!"

Upon hearing this, my second uncle said, "Oh, for me? That's alright then. I haven't spoiled you for nothing. But, are there any expiration dates for all of these?"

"Heh, someone just told me to be more restrained, but what about you?" Ye Chen chuckled.

"We just drank ginseng chicken soup, we need to maintain a balance of yin and yang, otherwise it's easy to get internal heat!" Second Uncle shamelessly said.

......

Upon arriving at Duoyi, Ye Chen put on a mask and arranged two meals for his second uncle!

Second Uncle just assumed Ye Chen was shy and didn't think much of it. It seems he hasn't been coming around enough. What's there to be shy about!

Ye Chen did not wash his feet. After settling his second uncle in, he went to the shooting range.

While we can't own firearms, it's never a bad thing to practice!

Although he had hit the target very accurately the previous time, marksmanship still requires a certain feel for the shot.

Anyway, I'll practice whenever I have time; it won't cost much.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen finished shooting. He looked at the time and realized it was still early. His second uncle would probably need at least two hours.

So he went to the archery range and shot for half an hour, and also bought two heavy composite bows and some arrows.

This thing can be legally owned, and it's okay to play with it. I'll let Dongzi and Along practice with it later.

About half an hour later, the second uncle sent Ye Chen a message asking where he was.

Knowing that his second uncle had finished, Ye Chen went directly to find him.

As luck would have it, they bumped into Ye Ziqing at the entrance of the bathhouse.

Ye Chen was about to brush past him when someone called out, "Ye Chen?!"

Ye Chen touched his face, only then realizing that he had taken off his mask and forgotten to put it back on when he was shooting.

Uh... isn't this awkward?

The last person he wanted to see in this place was Ye Ziqing. After all, meeting a fellow villager, especially a blind date, in a place like this always felt strange.

He also wanted to save face for both sides.

However, since the other party had recognized him, Ye Chen wasn't the kind of person who was easily embarrassed.

He glanced at Ye Ziqing without changing his expression, then feigned surprise: "Hello!"

"Fine, Ye Chen, it really is you! Why didn't you answer my calls or reply to my messages?" Ye Ziqing questioned Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked puzzled. Oh! Then he must have been blocked!

Ye Chen had long forgotten about it!

"Oh, um!" Ye Chen nodded, preparing to walk inside.

The meaning behind not answering the phone or replying to messages is quite clear; everyone understands it.

So there's no need to pretend, and Ye Chen is too lazy to pretend anymore.

"Wait, what do you mean? Are you so impatient even when you're talking to me? What's wrong with me?!" Ye Ziqing stepped forward and stopped Ye Chen, demanding an explanation.

"Oh, right!" Ye Chen replied dismissively, trying to get around her.

Ye Ziqing was furious: "Ye Chen, you've gone too far! Is this how you're raised?!"

"Hmm! You can move aside now!" Ye Chen said calmly.

Ye Ziqing was grinding her teeth, probably wanting to bite Ye Chen.

"What are you doing in a place like this? Coming to a bathhouse at such a young age? Humph! Men are all the same!"

"Yes!" Ye Chen walked around it.

He ultimately didn't ask her why she was there, as a way of preserving her dignity.

Some things don't need to be said so bluntly.

"Stop right there and remove me from the blacklist, or I'll tell everyone in the village that you came to a place like this! Then everyone in the village will know!" Ye Ziqing shouted, her voice laced with threat.

At this moment, Ye Chen's second uncle came out from inside and met with the two of them.

Ye Chen and Ye Ziqing were both taken aback.

"Qingqing, why haven't you left yet? Didn't you say you were going to the hospital?" Second Uncle asked, puzzled.

Ye Ziqing's expression clearly panicked for a moment: "I, I'll leave right now!"

"Xiao Chen, do you know each other?" Second Uncle asked casually.

Ye Chen shook his head: "I don't know him!"

Ye Chen glanced at Ye Ziqing and said calmly, "We're not from the same world. Let's save some face for each other!"

Ye Ziqing's expression was quite interesting, constantly changing between light and dark; probably only she herself knew what she was feeling right now.

Ye Chen actually knows this guest? They seem quite familiar with each other!

It's over, it's all over!

It can't be hidden anymore!

How could this happen? Why?

She really didn't want to miss out on such a great guy she had finally met.

But now it seems we've missed our chance.

Ye Ziqing turned and left, too ashamed to stay.

She then understood why Ye Chen didn't seem surprised. Did Ye Chen know she was working here a long time ago?

Ye Ziqing thought of many things in an instant, recalling the scene of Ye Chen and his second uncle selecting people for the first time.

Could it be him when I saw that familiar figure last time? Yes, it must be him.

The two of them came together last time!

No wonder Ye Chen treated her this way; it turns out he recognized her a long time ago.

Damn it, that scumbag is probably despising her a thousand times over right now.

......

The second uncle looked at Ye Chen suspiciously and asked, "You two know each other? You wouldn't have chosen her too, would you?"

Ye Chen wasn't really bothered by it at first, but after his second uncle said that, the thought of that scene made his hair stand on end!

"Huh, what are you thinking about? It's just that girl wants to add me as a friend and wants to pursue me!" Ye Chen ultimately didn't mention that Ye Ziqing was from his village.

After all, it's not exactly something to be proud of.

"Oh, I see. Xiao Chen, let me tell you, you can say anything in a place like this, but you can't believe anything you say, understand? It's just an act, so don't take it seriously!" Second Uncle advised him from his own experience.

Ye Chen said irritably, "Don't worry, with my looks and qualities, I can find any woman I want. I'm not so desperate as to be indiscriminate!"

Second Uncle was relieved after hearing Ye Chen say that.

He stretched his back and loosened his muscles: "Let's go home and sleep!"

Second Uncle went back to Longjin Residential Area with Ye Chen to sleep, and nothing happened that night!

The next day, Ye Chen woke up his second uncle early in the morning, not for any other reason than that he couldn't stand seeing others sleeping in late.

Uncle Er got up, cursing, and joined Ye Chen's fitness group.

Ye Chen took the opportunity to teach his second uncle the method of breathing exercises.

After all, you have to exercise to keep your body in good shape after washing your feet every day, otherwise how can you manage? At least you have to use up all your bath coupons!

At first, my second uncle didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just ordinary health-preserving qigong. After all, he had practiced hard qigong for a period of time before.

So it's quite easy to get started!

However, after the spiritual energy that had been held for several tens of seconds entered his body, the second uncle was instantly energized!

It's a wonderful feeling! Although I can't quite describe it, I feel refreshed and incredibly comfortable!

The effects of breathing exercises are immediate, but they only last for a short while before disappearing!

My second uncle looked like he still wanted more!

"What was that feeling Xiaochen just had?"
