After seeing the two men off, Yan Jin felt delighted. The second guest room was finally occupied.
She planned to check whether the man they had rescued had awakened. Just as she reached the door, she heard rustling sounds of bedding moving inside.
Soon afterward came a series of coughs. When Yan Jin pushed the door open, she saw a figure on the bed struggling to sit up.
She set the dishes she had brought aside and quickly stepped forward to support him, saying softly, “Your wounds have not fully healed yet. Lie down and do not move.”
Yan Jin’s hand paused slightly. The blood on his body had already been cleaned away. It was the first time she had seen his true appearance. His skin was wheat colored, his eyebrows were dark, and his facial features were sharply defined. His slightly upturned phoenix eyes gave him a striking look.
The man spoke in a low voice, “Thank you for saving me.”
His voice was deep and clear, with a slight hoarseness from his unhealed injuries, which made it sound even more magnetic.
Yan Jin’s ears turned slightly red when she heard it.
“You…” Yan Jin suddenly did not know what to say, so she casually asked a question. “How did you end up… here?”
The man fell silent for a moment and looked at her with some surprise.
Then she saw him frown and shake his head. “I… forgot.”
Yan Jin: “…”
She paused for a moment and organized her thoughts. “Then… do you remember your name?”
“My name?” The man tilted his head slightly. “My surname is Ji.”
Yan Jin let out a sigh of relief. At least he had not forgotten everything.
She hurriedly asked, “Your surname is Ji? Then what is your full name?”
The man fell silent for a moment and shook his head.
“Do you remember who caused your injuries like this?”
The man gave her a faint smile and shook his head innocently.
Yan Jin’s expression became complicated. She had originally planned to get some information from him and find out what had attracted the wolf pack here. Unexpectedly, the person she had saved had actually lost his memory.
Could it be a side effect of the Shaping Essence Pill?
Yan Jin rubbed her forehead and asked, “Then what do you plan to do?”
“I do not know either,” the man replied calmly. “I will simply take things as they come.”
Yan Jin: “…”
What a calm attitude.
Just then she heard his stomach growl loudly.
“Eat something first.” She helped him lean against the bed, then brought the dishes she had carried in.
At that moment, Yan Jin added, “If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here while you recover. I cannot promise much else, but it is very safe here, and you will have three meals a day.”
“Sounds good.”
The man leaned against the edge of the bed and revealed a bright smile. Looking at Yan Jin, he said in a teasing tone, “You saved my life. I should repay you by devoting myself to you.”
Yan Jin froze for a moment, her cheeks warming slightly. Was she really being flirted with just like that?
After he finished eating, Yan Jin collected the bowls and chopsticks. The moment she turned to leave, the bright smile on the man’s face vanished completely.
His handsome face turned cold and stern, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
“Captain, go quickly…”
That sentence kept echoing in his mind. His fists slowly tightened.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Because Bai Ruozhu had been constantly watering and weeding the crops in the courtyard, a new batch of vegetables soon grew.
Yan Jin looked at the pile of vegetables before her. There were eggplants, chili peppers, potatoes, corn, and pumpkins. All kinds of dishes flashed through her mind.
After eating sweet potatoes for so many days in a row, she was finally tired of them.
[Ding. Planting space experience has reached the maximum. Would you like to upgrade?]
Yan Jin was momentarily stunned. The system had never told her anything about a planting space before, so why was it suddenly upgrading?
“What are the benefits of upgrading?” Yan Jin asked the system.
[It can expand the planting area and also shorten the growing time. It is very practical.]
“But the courtyard is only this big. Even if it upgrades, there will be no extra space.”
[Host, please rest assured. After upgrading, it will form a folded space and will not expand outward.]
Yan Jin breathed a sigh of relief. If that was the case, it would be similar to a spatial ability.
But that meant she would have to find more people to help with the work. Otherwise, with only the two of them, they would eventually collapse from exhaustion.
She pressed Confirm Upgrade. The entire upgrade process occurred silently.
Yan Jin hurried over to see what had changed after the upgrade. When she arrived, she saw that the newly expanded land was neatly arranged. There was also a small pool that had appeared, though it was completely empty.
[Ding. Detected that the host has upgraded the planting space to Level 2. Issuing upgrade reward.]
Yan Jin noticed a packet of seeds lying quietly in the system warehouse. The description read Random Seeds.
She could not help feeling uneasy, worried that something strange might grow from them.
[Products from the system are always of the highest quality. Please use them with confidence.]
“Yeah right. As if I would believe that,” Yan Jin complained.
