Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant

Chapter 598: Chapter 598: Could It Be Contagious?

Zheng Xuewen and Qiao Wenyu also followed suit, got up to fetch two cups, and handed them to their respective partners.

Wei Zijia and Ye Wenhui exchanged a glance and both burst into laughter.

They thought alike: Not bad, it seems we’ll have to come to Yunyi’s place more often, especially when Comrade Huo is here.

Qiao Wenyu took a sip of tea and his eyes instantly lit up: ”This tea is incredible. My grandfather loves tea, and I’ve had plenty from him, but this tea is way better than what he has.”

Huo Jingrui gave Qiao Wenyu a look that said: Consider yourself knowledgeable.

Thinking to himself: This tea is grown in Yunyi’s space, and not even the tea used in a state banquet could compare.

After finishing a pot of tea, all four felt relaxed in body and mind, but no one thought much of it, attributing it to good moods.

Ye Wenhui finished her tea and looked at Yunyi: ”Zhang Wenjuan suffered quite a loss today. With her temperament, she probably won’t let it go easily. Don’t get complacent just because you’re skilled.”

Yunyi nodded: ”Got it.”

Ye Wenhui saw she understood, noticed it was getting late, and since the questions had been answered, she didn’t want to linger and be a nuisance: ”Alright, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be leaving.”

Qiao Wenyu then spoke up: ”Yunyi, could you help Zijia take a look at what’s going on with her rashes?”

Yunyi heard Qiao Wenyu’s words and stood up: ”Why didn’t you mention it earlier.”

She gestured for Wei Zijia to follow her into the house.

But Wei Zijia hesitated, not daring to get too close to Yunyi, she suggested in a low voice from a distance: ”How about going to the woodshed in the back.”

Yunyi didn’t understand for a moment: ”Why go to the woodshed?”

Wei Zijia was visibly tense, but it was Qiao Wenyu who got up to explain quietly to Yunyi.

After listening to him, Yunyi laughed: ”If there’s really a problem, I’ll disinfect it later. It’s not a big deal.”

Wei Zijia then followed Yunyi into the house.

Upon seeing the large rash on her waist, Yunyi frowned and asked: ”When did this start happening?”

Wei Zijia replied softly: ”It started a few days ago. Initially, Yan Xingyan, who lives next to me, said she was bitten by bugs. But in this weather, there shouldn’t be mosquitoes. People in the dorm even joked she’s a lucky one.

Later, some of us also started experiencing the same thing.”

Yunyi examined the rashes carefully: ”Besides your waist, are there any elsewhere?”

Wei Zijia, slightly embarrassed, said: ”There are some on my thigh too, seems like the bugs bite where the skin is tender.”

Yunyi thought for a moment: ”I might need to visit your dorm to check it out.”

Wei Zijia, feeling nervous, asked: ”Yunyi, could this be contagious?”

After all, everyone in their dorm has these rashes now, and they’re too embarrassed to visit the clinic fearing bad rumors might spread.

Terrified, it was Qiao Wenyu who noticed something was off with her, which led to her revealing the issue.

Qiao Wenyu listened, then brought her to find Yunyi.

Yunyi thought for a moment: ”No, I have some insect repellent powder I mixed myself. You can take some back, and I’ll come by tomorrow when the light is better to see if I can figure something out.”

She took a bottle from the cabinet behind her, found a piece of paper, opened the cap, and poured out some powder: ”It’s not that I’m unwilling to give you more, the powder is quite potent. Go home, poke a few holes in this paper wrap with a needle, and place it under your mattress. You should be able to sleep soundly tonight.”

Wei Zijia looked grateful: ”Thank you so much. How much should I pay you?”

Although they were friends, she didn’t want to take advantage of Yunyi.

Yunyi didn’t decline. After all, gratitude over small acts could turn into resentment over bigger ones. Besides, the ingredients for this powder came entirely from the space. If her assumption is correct, it should work instantly: ”Just give one yuan.”

She wasn’t being greedy, given that some ingredients in this powder are quite precious.

Wei Zijia accepted the package and pulled out one yuan from her pocket: ”You have no idea how worried I’ve been these past few days, fearing it was a contagious disease. Now, I can finally relax.”
