Chapter 214: This Boyfriend Looks Really Handsome

She shut the Tablet all at once and stood up immediately.

Bai Wei's heart was beating too fast, and her face was flushed and burning.

Xiao Moting's words were just too affectionate, as if he really wanted to ask for her hand in marriage.

It made her unable to help feeling moved.

Bai Wei could no longer restrain herself; she hurried to take a bottle of iced Cola from the refrigerator, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp to calm her pounding heart.

Honestly...

She had only wanted Xiao Moting to film a casual clip to fool her mother, but she never expected him to be so solemn, making it seem as if it were all real.

Especially his pitch-black eyes; when he looked into the lens, it seemed as if he were looking into her heart.

Bai Wei transferred the video to her phone and sent it to her mother.

Not long after, she received a reply from Li Hong.

Li Hong sent a voice message, her tone sounding very pleasantly surprised.

"Oh my, Xiao Wei, this boyfriend of yours is truly handsome!"

"The staff at our supermarket all ran over to watch, and they all said he looks good."

"But why is he wearing ancient costume and speaking in such a pedantic way?"

Bai Wei hurriedly picked up her phone to explain.

"Mom, didn't I tell you? Xiao Moting is a stunt actor."

"He is currently filming an ancient drama abroad with the crew; he wears his costume on set, and it's inconvenient to change."

"As for him speaking pedantically, that's just the style of the lines for the ancient drama he's filming; he's used to it."

A few sentences finally dispelled Li Hong's doubts.

"Xiao Wei, this boyfriend of yours looks quite innocent, blushing like that while filming the video."

Bai Wei covered her mouth and giggled.

She had also seen Xiao Moting blush; even though he was perfectly serious, the blush could not be hidden.

Li Hong was very satisfied after watching Xiao Moting's video.

"Xiao Wei, when is he coming back? Call him to have a meal with Mom then."

Bai Wei hurriedly brushed it off, "It's still early; I don't know when this drama will finish filming. Mom, I have things to do, so I'll stop talking for now."

Putting down the phone, Bai Wei let out a long sigh.

The matter of the blind date had finally been glossed over with her mother.

She took paper and a pen from her pocket to write a note to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, thank you for your hard work this time!"

"My mom watched your video and kept praising how good-looking you are."

"I didn't expect your acting to be so amazing; you acted as if it were real! The lines you said almost moved me too."

The note she sent over landed in Xiao Moting's hands.

After reading it, a faint smile rose at the corners of Xiao Moting's lips.

Bai Wei thought he was acting.

But he was not acting; these words were all hidden in the depths of his heart, unable to be spoken to her.

To this day, Xiao Moting was clear about his own feelings, yet he could not say them, could not speak of them.

He and Bai Wei were people from two different dimensions.

Now the two could Teleport items to each other, but in the future, no one knew what might happen.

If there really came a day when Bai Wei disappeared and could no longer send him messages, Xiao Moting did not know if he could accept it.

He dared not think, and he dared not ask.

Because a world without her was, for him, a torment every single day.

A soldier came to report, "Prince, the Solar Power in the camp has been installed, and Supervisor Han also organized craftsmen to install the Electric Lamp."

"Good, I will go take a look right now."

Xiao Moting put down the note and walked out of the tent.

When he led troops to Shiya City, he had handed these matters over to Han Fang to handle.

He did not expect Han Fang's efficiency to be so fast; it was all installed in just half a month. No wonder the Goddess always let everyone learn knowledge; knowledge truly is the primary productive force.

Beside the farmland, dozens of brick-and-tile bungalows had already been built.

With blue bricks and black tiles, they were even fitted with bright glass windows. Inside were smooth cement floors, moisture-proof and damp-proof. Sunlight shone in through the glass windows, making the rooms exceptionally bright—completely incomparable to mud-brick houses.

Han Fang had already arranged for some of the farmers with the highest work points to move into the houses. Everyone who moved in was full of joy and praised them repeatedly.

The workers building houses in ancient times did not have the same construction speed as in the modern era, so only about a dozen brick-and-tile houses had been built so far.

The Northern Frontier Camp had once been a wasteland; the soldiers all lived in tents, cold in winter and hot in summer, and it was dark and damp.

Now that a dozen brick-and-tile houses were built, everyone was very envious, hoping that they too could move into a brick-and-tile house.

The craftsmen building the houses were working day and night to rush the construction.

Before long, the Northern Frontier Camp would be filled with brick-and-tile houses everywhere, completely leaving behind the days of living in tents.

The roofs of these dozen or so brick-and-tile houses were all covered with Solar Power panels and connected to wires.

Every ten meters or so, there was a street lamp, powered by solar energy, to be turned on at night.

But the electrical energy generated by solar power was limited, so the time for the lights to be on at night was only one hour; all remaining electrical energy was used to charge machinery that needed charging.

Xiao Dabao looked at the houses with eyes full of envy.

"These houses are exactly the same as the houses in the Goddess's world!"

"I really didn't expect that we would also be able to live in such beautiful houses." Qin Zhan was also beaming with joy and couldn't help but exclaim, "Our Northern Frontier Camp is truly becoming more and more like the Goddess's world."

Xiao Moting looked up and gazed into the distance.

This place was originally wasteland, but the Goddess sent over machinery for land reclamation, transforming it into over 1,500 mu of fields.

The fields before his eyes stretched as far as the eye could see; the rice had already been planted, and the wheat seedlings had grown an inch high, a vast expanse of green as far as he could see.

In the distance were cornfields and vegetable plots, with farmers standing in the fields in twos and threes, some spraying pesticides, some fertilizing, some weeding... a scene of thriving prosperity.

"Greetings, Prince!" Han Fang hurried over and bowed to Xiao Moting.

Xiao Moting nodded, "Supervisor Han, you have worked hard these past few days. You have made a great contribution to all of this, and I will certainly reward you handsomely later!"

Han Fang was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor and, not daring to claim the credit, quickly cupped his hands in a salute.

"Prince, all of this is the merit of Shennü Daren; we are merely acting according to the requirements of Shennü Daren."

"Without the machinery, chemical fertilizers, and seeds sent by the Goddess... we would not have been able to reclaim the wasteland or grow food."

Xiao Moting had no objection to these words.

If not for Bai Wei, the Northern Frontier Camp would have vanished long ago.

He looked up and gestured with his chin toward a vegetable plot nearby.

"What is that?"

The lush green vegetable plot drifted with the fresh fragrance of vegetable leaves.

Han Fang turned his head to look and could not help but smile.

"Reporting to Prince, these hundred-plus mu of fields are planted with the fast-growing bok choy seeds sent by Shennü Daren."

"The climate in Beijiang is bitterly cold and vegetables grow slowly, but Wu Da finished reading the instruction manual for the vegetable seeds, which stated that this type of bok choy grows very quickly, so we took advantage of the warming spring weather to plant them and try it out."

"Unexpectedly, this bok choy really did grow; after applying chemical fertilizer, it matured in just one month."

"Now, the soldiers of the Northern Frontier Camp are already eating bok choy, and today's lunch in the army includes a dish of stir-fried bok choy."

At this moment, a soldier walked over.

"Prince, a letter from General Zhang Zhao."

Xiao Moting reached out to take it, finished reading it quickly, and his sword-like brows furrowed slightly.

The letter written by Zhang Zhao stated that the provisions for the garrisoned troops were insufficient, everyone was clamoring about not having enough to eat, and he was requesting that the Northern Frontier Camp send more supplies.
