Hey, Daed here. Sorry for the late update, it's back-to-school season hahaha….If you happen to read any of my other translation projects, updates for those should be coming out soon (hopefully). Let me know if there's any mistakes in the discord or in the comments.

Under the television crew’s dumbfounded gaze, Zhou Zekai carried Tang Bingyu down the mountain. Just returning took almost an hour. Zhou Zekai had worked out before at home, so he didn’t feel any pressure carrying a girl. However, Tang Bingyu who was on his back felt embarrassed.

She peeked at Zhou Zekai's side profile, noticing that his forehead was covered in sweat. With her body pressed up against his, she could feel his body heat. This made Tang Bingyu’s heart beat faster. Before, in school, she had never thought of any boy as super attractive. But at this moment, she felt that Zhou Zekai who was carrying her was so handsome!

As she thought about how they had been discussing how to make a ruckus on the bus like children, then looked at Zhou Zekai’s dependable appearance as he carried her now, Tang Bingyu was somewhat suspicious if Zhou Zekai had actually been playing along with her on the bus back then.

When they finally reached the house, the cameramen were exhausted. Yet when they saw how sweaty Zhou Zekai was, they all thought that this was a hard-working child. He piggybacked Tang Bingyu for the whole trek back, and didn’t say a word about being tired.

After placing Tang Bingyu on the bed, Zhou Zekai went to dig through the television crew’s first aid kit. He found the Yun Nan Bai Yao and safflower oil. He thought about it and decided to just spray the Yun Nan Bai Yao for Tang Bingyu. The safflower oil required a more professional massage method, he couldn’t randomly reveal what he could do.

After obtaining the Yun Nan Bai Yao, he saw that Tang Bingyu had already removed her shoes. Zhou Zekai sat down on the other side of the bed, pulled Tang Bingyu’s injured leg over and carefully placed it on his lap. Then he started to probe her ankle, trying to see if the injury was serious or not.

It was the first time that a boy touched her foot. This made Tang Bingyu feel kind of awkward. She wanted to retract her foot, but as she looked at how Zhou Zekai was entirely focused on the task at hand, she decided that it would be even more awkward if she did. As she took another look at Zhou Zekai’s clean-nailed, milky white hand gently caressing her ankle, for some reason Tang Bingyu felt like her heart felt ticklish—just like her foot.

“Fortunately it’s only a light sprain. It’s a bit swollen, but it shouldn’t be a big problem. It’ll get better after resting for two days. I’ll spray some Yun Nan Bai Yao for you. It won’t hurt as much with this, and it will heal fast.”

If it had been more serious, then they would have to use safflower oil to rub the ankle and get the blood moving. Zhou Zekai saw that Tang Bingyu’s foot didn’t seem to have any other problems and started to spray the medicine. At this time, the doctor hadn’t arrived yet, and it was the first time for the television crew to not have a doctor on standby while they filmed this program so they naturally heeded Zhou Zekai’s words. They watched as Zhou Zekai helped the little girl spray the Yun Nan Bai Yao, then gently massaged Tang Bingyu’s ankle to help her relax.

Somehow, when Zhou Zekai’s hands worked on her foot, Tang Bingyu couldn’t feel any pain at all. She only thought that the feeling that those warm hands on her foot gave her was indescribable.

After a while, the doctor finally arrived. They were filming a show, after all. If anything happened to the guests on this show, then it would really be serious, okay? So when the doctor rushed over, he immediately checked on Tang Bingyu’s foot. He also confirmed that Tang Bingyu’s injury wasn't very serious.

“She did indeed sprain her ankle, but it’s not very serious. It will be swollen for two days but recover. There’s no need to eat any medicine, it’ll be all good two days after spraying this Yun Nan Bai Yao. However, there might be some pain because of the swelling. And you should refrain from exerting yourself, understand?”

Seeing that this little girl from the city was fine, the doctor was relieved. The television crew was also relieved.

After a while, they sent the doctor off. Zhou Zekai and the others sat in the room keeping Tang Bingyu company and engaging her in conversation. After all, she was injured. If they left her alone by herself, she might be sad and lonely.

Zhou Zekai took the time while Yang Susu was talking to Tang Bingyu to take out the ginseng plant that he had dug up and take care of it. Luckily, he had brought a small wooden chest over to put his clothes in. He hastily moved it out and cleaned it.

Then he asked Yang Susu for some clean cotton. He placed the cotton into the chest and added the art paper that he had brought over. After he carefully set the ginseng plant into the box, he covered it again with cotton. When he was done, he suddenly realized that even if he stored it properly, there probably was no freezer in this rural village so the wild ginseng still couldn’t be kept in these conditions for too long.

“Can I borrow a phone for a bit? I plan to let my grandfather come over and take this ginseng plant away. I’m also thinking of selling it and using the money to fix the roads for the village.”

Zhou Zekai knew that this ginseng was definitely able to sell for the astronomical price of five million (5,000,000). It was more than enough to fix the roads in this village, and he wanted to hand this ginseng over to his grandfather. His grandfather was getting on in age. If they had this ginseng, it would also be good for his grandfather’s body.

Although the television crew was curious just how old this ginseng plant was, they weren’t specialists in this field. Not to mention that this ginseng plant was dug up by Zhou Zekai himself, it wasn't something that they could take a share of. In the end, after discussing it over, they agreed to lend Zhou Zekaii a phone.

After Zhou Zekai received the phone, he called his grandfather. He relayed the news that he had found a ginseng plant, and it was quite aged. Therefore, he hoped that his grandfather could come over with his father to check it out. It would be best to bring Uncle Feng along and let Uncle Feng appraise this ginseng while he was at it. At the end, Zhou Zekai stressed that this ginseng wasn’t really very well preserved with the resources available where he was, so he hoped that they could carry along something to store the ginseng. It would be best if the car had a portable freezer.

Zhou Zekai’s grandfather favored him the most. As soon as he heard his eldest grandson’s words, especially that the ginseng was meant to be a filial gift for him, he immediately agreed. Grandfather Zhou expressed that he will fly over tonight, and arrive there tomorrow afternoon. He agreed without any hesitation.

When he hung up, the television crew took the phone and inquired, "How did you know it was a ginseng? Have you seen it before?"

Since his family was rich, it was definitely not strange that his family possessed ginseng. However, the television crew really hadn’t expected Zhou Zekai’s luck to be this good! By the time they released this news, everyone would probably be dumbfounded by this kid’s good luck!

“The only ginseng that we have at home are those that are already soaked in a jar. 1 I’ve seen them a couple times. However, it’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of raw ginseng. In the past when I flipped through my grandpa’s medicinal book, I saw some introductions on ginseng. I thought it was interesting so I took note of it.”

Zhou Zekai answered without any pressure. Meanwhile, Tang Bingyu snuck glances at Zhou Zekai’s confident appearance and suddenly felt like Zhou Zekai was different than she had thought……

1. Something like this, I guess. This is from a google search and it's apparently ginseng root:
