After lunch, Xia Zhi and Bai Shu sat together and talked about medicine.
The Great Tree King sat beside him, listening with great interest.
What discoveries has Mr. Bai Zhu made so far?
"I observed many things, different parts of plants, different parts of animals, and found that their body structures are very similar, all consisting of tiny squares..."
"Cells..."
"Cells? So Mr. Xia already had them named?"
"Actually, I didn't name it, but that's not important, please continue..."
“I discovered that those small squares, which Mr. Xia called cells, contain many things inside. To better compare them, I drew several pictures.”
"That's a good idea."
"However, I haven't figured out the patterns or their functions yet."
"Yes, take your time."
"I also collected hair and blood from some seriously ill patients who came to Bubulu for treatment, and observed them, and discovered some strange problems..."
Bai Zhu had many questions, and Xia Zhi patiently discussed them with him. He didn't directly tell Bai Zhu the answers to those questions, but only gave him directions and solutions.
After chatting for a long time, Bai Zhu, having gained much from the conversation, took his leave.
The Great Tree King watched Bai Shu's figure disappear into the street, then turned around and asked in a strange tone, "Was it fun?"
Xia Zhi looked at her with a serious expression: "What's so fun about it? I'm doing something of great significance that will benefit future generations."
The Great Tree King tilted its head, its little girl-like posture quite adorable: "Want me to play with you?"
Xia Zhi waved his hand: "No need for that, you can just focus on your book."
The Great Tree King looked at him for a while, then said, "Next time you do something fun, remember to take me with you."
"……Row."
The Great Tree King nodded, then took out another book on economics and continued reading.

evening.
Baiwen followed behind Ningguang, feeling a little nervous.
I wonder what Bai Shi said to Lady Ning Guang...
Just now, Lady Ningguang suddenly called her over, saying that she wanted to come with her to the Summer Little Shop for a massage.
How can I pretend to be a regular at a massage parlor on my first visit?
Is that essential oil really that effective?
Can it remove the scar on that part of my body?
Is Mr. Xia's massage really as comfortable as Bai Shi described?
As the Summer Shop drew closer, Baiwen felt his heart beat a little faster.
Following Ningguang into the store, we heard her greet everyone with a smile.
"It's time to get off work."
"Miss Ningguang is here."
"You're really punctual. Is Yuehaiting that free?"
Who is it? How dare they speak to Lady Ningguang like that? The voice sounds rather familiar...
Baiwen turned his head to look over.
Huh? Why is it Ying'er?
That's fine.
Ningguang glanced at Ying'er, too lazy to chat with her, and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Xia."
"Well, come in."
Baiwen watched as Lady Ningguang walked into the back hall, and then heard strange sounds coming from inside that made her blush and her heart race.
Lady Ningguang can actually make such a sound?
So what kind of massage is it?
Baiwen stood there somewhat awkwardly.
Zhu Zi smiled at her and said, "Miss Baiwen, please sit down! Our shop is closed for the day, and we won't be having any more customers. Please feel free to sit anywhere."
"okay."
Baiwen seemed to have found a way out, so he sat down on the chair next to him.
Why didn't Miss Baishi come today?
"She...she had something to do, so I came instead."
"I see. Miss Baiwen hasn't come to our shop for juice for quite a few days."
"I'm quite busy too."
"Are you busy with the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion?"
"Yes, even without the Qunyu Pavilion incident, we have a lot of things to do every day and we're very busy."
"It must be really tough. It seems like you all have a lot to do at Yuehaiting, and Miss Ganyu is especially busy too."
“Miss Gan Yu… she’s the busiest, we wouldn’t dare compare ourselves to her…”
"is it?"
“Last time, when Miss Gan Yu went out, there was no one to do her work, so Lady Ningguang transferred the three of us to help deal with the backlog of documents. We thought it would be an easy task, but the three of us stayed up all night and still couldn’t finish it…”
"Miss Gan Yu is so amazing?"
"Ah."
As they chatted, Baiwen relaxed and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Until Lady Ningguang's voice came from inside.
"Baiwen, come in too. Please have Mr. Xia give you a massage as well."
Baiwen's body stiffened slightly, and he subconsciously refused.
"I... I don't need it..."
"No need for that. You've been running around these past few days and you must be tired. You should get a good massage to relax. Come in quickly."
"Oh……"
Baiwen entered the back hall and saw Lady Ningguang tidying her slightly disheveled clothes. Her face was flushed and she looked very beautiful.
Ningguang glanced at Baiwen, her tone languid.
"I'm going to take a shower first. You can have a good massage, and then take a shower too. I'll leave you a clean set of clothes in the bathroom."
"Ok."
Ningguang left, and Xia Zhi smiled, pointing to the small bed and saying, "Miss Baiwen, please lie down here."
"Ah."
Baiwen glanced at the clean little bed and obediently lay down on it.
"Miss Baiwen, would you like some essential oil?"
"Go ahead."
"Okay, then please take off your clothes."
"it is good."
Baiwen nervously unbuttoned his clothes.
The temperature is a bit low for this season, but for some reason, when Baiwen took off his clothes in this room, he didn't feel cold at all; on the contrary, he felt very warm.
Xia Zhi took out a bottle and poured out the essential oil.
Bai Wen immediately smelled a very pleasant fragrance.
Is this your first massage?
"Yes."
"Don't be nervous, massage is a very comfortable thing."
"Oh."
"If you're really nervous, you can close your eyes."
"Ok."
