Unlike her cool demeanor, Zhou Ruolan has a very cheerful and lively personality.
After a bit of conversation, Li Chuan found out that she was a volunteer teacher in Taohua Village, not only did she not ask for a salary, but she also planned to fund some struggling students herself.
Li Chuan didn't expect to meet such a kind-hearted beauty on just his second day of arriving.
"Teacher Zhou, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Come on, let's eat something together."
Li Chuan carried two big bowls filled with freshly cooked river seafood noodles to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.
"I didn't expect you, a university student, to be so good at cooking. I was still groggy from sleep when the aroma woke me up." Zhou Ruolan was absolutely full of praise for Li Chuan's culinary skills!
"Mm! Awesome! This is definitely the most delicious, flavorful breakfast I've had since coming to Taohua Village!"
Zhou Ruolan gave Li Chuan a thumbs-up after just one bite.
"What do you usually eat?" Li Chuan asked curiously.
"Sometimes parents of the students will give me buns or steamed bread, and if not, I just eat instant noodles." Zhou Ruolan laughed, "By the way, what is this white meat?"
Li Chuan: "Snake meat."
"What! Snake?" Zhou Ruolan looked incredulous, "Is snake meat really that delicious? No way, this isn't enough, give me all the snake meat from your bowl! This is the first time in my life I'm eating snake meat, I have to post this on social media!"
Saying this, Zhou Ruolan scooped all the snake meat from Li Chuan's bowl into hers and started taking photos with her phone.
Li Chuan was dumbfounded; for most girls, snakes are something to be feared and loathed.
But not for this Zhou Ruolan, who seemed not only unafraid but also incredibly excited.
"Where did you get this amazing stuff? Do you have more? Catch some more so we can eat it every day!" Zhou Ruolan quickly finished off the bowl of noodles, her face filled with longing.
Li Chuan: "..."
"Sis, I caught that in my room last night, there's only one."
"What? In your room?" Zhou Ruolan shivered in fright, "Seriously? I just got here a few days ago, if there are snakes, that would be terrible!"
She may have liked eating snake meat, but if there were live snakes, that was truly frightening!
Li Chuan took a sip of soup: "That's pretty normal in the countryside, right."
As the two of them were chatting, a man in his thirties knocked on the wooden door of the village committee.
Li Chuan went to open the door, the man peered inside and said politely, "Are you Chuan, the student? I heard you can treat illnesses, my throat has been sore these past few days... Are you having breakfast? Then I'll come back later."
Li Chuan: "You're already here, why leave? I still have a bowl of noodles in the pot, if you haven't had breakfast, come eat a bowl, maybe after eating your throat won't hurt."
"Is it that magical?" The middle-aged man caught the scent in the air, then chuckled, "Then I'll impose. Dr. Li, Teacher Zhou, you eat, I'll help myself."
With that, the middle-aged man went into the kitchen to serve himself some noodles.
Soon, he walked out with a big bowl of noodles: "Fragrant! So fragrant! This is definitely the tastiest, most flavorful bowl of noodles I've ever had, the soup is delicious too!"
Zhou Ruolan laughed: "This is snake noodle soup, with a whole mountain snake, how could it not be flavorful!"
The man was stunned: "Mountain snake?"
Could it be the snake he placed yesterday was cooked?
As he spoke, he saw the snake skin hanging on the tree in the yard!
Wasn't that his mountain snake?
This was his snake, even if it was burnt to ashes, he would recognize it!
Seeing this scene, Chen Du's mindset completely collapsed!
This was the ration he prepared for his little darling, and someone ate it first!
He got up early today not to see a doctor, but to check if Li Chuan had died!
But it turned out, not only did this guy not die, he even ate the mountain snake he worked so hard to catch!
Frustrated, Chen Du could only turn his grief into appetite and finished the noodle soup Li Chuan cooked!
Moreover, he snatched the noodles from Li Chuan and started eating!
Li Chuan: "..."
This guy, was he really that hungry?
Luckily, he'd already eaten a bowl, the fish, shrimp, and snake meat were all consumed, otherwise, he'd be at a loss!
After eating the noodles, Chen Du walked out of the courtyard looking distressed, leaving Li Chuan completely baffled.
What's this guy's deal?
"Chuan, I think this guy is just here to freeload breakfast, he's the village's bachelor, usually very lazy!" Zhou Ruolan analyzed.
After breakfast, Zhou Ruolan went to teach at the village school.
...
"Hey, how's it going? Did that kid get poisoned?" Chen Bao asked excitedly as Chen Du walked back.
Chen Du darkened his face, "He died!"
"Awesome! Way to go, old three!" Chen Bao was thrilled, "Hmph! Ruining my plans, deserves to be taken down!"
Chen Du: "It's my mountain snake, they killed it, not only killed it but made soup with it!"
Chen Bao: "..."
Chen Du: "That kid isn't even afraid of snakes! Really strange, aren't all urban students fragile? Why isn't he afraid of snakes?"
Chen Bao: "Maybe he found it beforehand and caught it, but don't you still have a little treasure? Let your little treasure handle it! It'll work for sure!"
...
"Is Dr. Li here?"
As Li Chuan was about to leave after breakfast to check out the village's medicinal garden, a young girl with a ponytail, a stunning figure, walked into the courtyard looking shy.
"Yes, that's me. What's up?" Li Chuan smiled.
"Dr. Li, my name is Chen Wanting." Chen Wanting said, her face turning a bit red, "Um, can you treat a girl's issues too?"
"Sure, who's sick?" Li Chuan asked.
"It's me..."
"You?"
Li Chuan was taken aback: "You don't seem sick to me, you look quite healthy and your complexion's good."
Chen Wanting glanced around, then walked to the gate, closed the wooden door, and said blushingly, "Dr. Li, could you... help make this a bit smaller?"
After speaking, Chen Wanting raised her finger, moving it in the air before pointing to her chest.
Li Chuan glanced at Chen Wanting's chest and immediately came to his senses.
To be honest, this young girl's figure was indeed quite stunning, combined with a waist like A4 paper in its slenderness, it made her upper body particularly prominent, but looking at it, it still seemed normal!
I wonder why this girl has such thoughts, city girls all wish to become bigger, but she wants to become smaller?
