Yang Ruoxi sat in front of the mirror with her hands propping up her chin and a smile on her face.
“I look pretty,” muttered Yang Ruoxi.
When Tiantian saw her, he would definitely pull her into a kiss. Yang Ruoxi fanned her face.
‘Shut up! What are you even thinking about? It’ll be embarrassing if a neighbor sees us! You should be more reserved, Yang Ruoxi!’ Yang Ruoxi chastised herself. ‘But… he’s so tall and handsome. What if he wants to take it further?
Stop! Stop!’
Yang Ruoxi was so shocked that Tiantian had flown to Yun City just to see her.
Tiantian folded his arms and leaned against the bus window. He had brought along a gift for her. His grandmother had given it to him to give to Yang Ruoxi.
It was a gold necklace. It wasn’t exquisitely beautiful, but it was pure gold. His great-grandmother had handed it down to his grandmother, and now she wanted him to give it to Yang Ruoxi.
After he had shown her a video of Yang Ruoxi, his grandmother seemed to like her. She told him that Yang Ruoxi reminded her of herself when she was younger.
The gold chain was very old-fashioned in design, but his grandmother really seemed to be attached to it. Tiantian respected her kind intentions. He also bought a bracelet along the way to give it to Yang Ruoxi.
In the evening, his grandmother called him when he landed in Yun City. He could see in the video call that the place was beautiful and cold. His grandmother was wrapped in a thick jacket. She had asked him if he had met Yang Ruoxi yet.
Tiantian couldn’t understand why his grandmother was so worried that he wouldn’t find a wife. He was a good man with a good background. He didn’t understand why his grandmother seemed to want him to get married immediately.
Yang Ruoxi was pulled back to reality from her daydreaming by Tiantian’s text.
He had arrived!
Yang Ruoxi got up so fast that she knocked a bottle of foundation from her table. Fortunately, the lid was tightly closed so it didn’t spill.
“Do you see the front gates and the wall?” texted Yang Ruoxi. “Follow the perimeter of the wall until you come to a window. My window is the one with the lights on.”
He finally found the window and walked hurriedly. He saw her at the window.
Tiantian was going to call out to her, but Yang Ruoxi placed a finger on her lips to signal him to be quiet.
Tiantian reached the window and stood on tiptoes to reach her. Yang Ruoxi stuck her head out and kissed him.
“Xixi, we can’t always meet like this.”
“Shh… my father is in the next room. If he hears us, we’re done!”
“Should I come in through the back door?” he asked. “I can take off my shoes, so it doesn’t make a sound.”
“No! I can’t let you in. The door is creaky, and my father is a very light sleeper. If someone sees us, they’ll think all sorts of things. I’ll come early in the morning to meet you at the hotel. Send me your room number after you check in, alright?’
Tiantian nodded, he didn’t want to leave, but he didn’t want to set a bad impression on the first meeting. He definitely didn’t want Yang Ruoxi’s father to see him like this.
The two of them held each other’s hands for a while before reluctantly separating.
Tiantian kept looking back at her with every step he took. The one he loved was right there. So close and yet so far away. He was sad to head back to the hotel.
After he left, Yang Ruoxi tried to go back to sleep. She tossed and turned on her bed and only fell asleep around 2 a.m.
The next morning, she texted Lin Wan. “Wanwan, I need your help. I told my father that I’m meeting you to go and buy some seafood, but I’m actually going to the hotel to meet Tiantian. Can you buy some seafood and tell everyone that you are meeting me? Please!”
Lin Wan woke up to a message from Yang Ruoxi. “Okay,” she replied.
Li Yanchen had woken up at six in the morning. He was sitting in the sun with Auntie Bao.
Mother Bao brought some raw peanuts over. ‘This year, the peanuts are small. But don’t be fooled by how they look. They’re delicious. Here, try some. Peanuts in the morning are good for the stomach.”
Li Yanchen took a handful and ate them. “It’s not bad! Do you usually like it raw or cooked?”
“Raw. I like the dry and shriveled ones. We, farmers, know that peanuts should be eaten like that. People in the city usually pick the plump ones, but the shriveled and dried ones are more flavorful.” Auntie Bao peeled some of them.
“These are delicious. Here, taste them.”
Li Yanchen thanked her and tasted some. Indeed, they tasted a bit different.
“The porridge must be ready. I’ll go and check. I even picked some fresh vegetables,” said Auntie Bao and rushed to the kitchen.
Li Yanchen felt as though he was with his own mother. He was about to get up and head to the kitchen to help her, but Auntie Bao told him to sit. “Sit and eat the peanuts. I’m fine. I don’t have much to do these days. If you don’t let me move around and do this at least, I’ll feel useless.”
Li Yanchen chuckled. “It is no wonder people say that a mother always treats her children as little kids. It’s great to have you around, Mother.”
Auntie Bao smiled. “Then, listen to me and sit here. I’ll make breakfast.
Wanwan is going to wake up soon too.”
Lin Wan got up and rushed out of the room without even washing up. “Mr. Li… Mama Bao…’
“Wanwan, everything okay?” Li Yanchen walked out of the sunroom when he heard her voice.
Auntie Bao came out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge in her hands.
“Good morning, Mama Bao,” said Lin Wan happily. “I knew I smelled sweet potatoes and carrots!”
Auntie Bao chuckled. “Come and have breakfast then. We even have steamed buns from last night.”
“I’m going to brush my teeth first.” Lin Wan briskly walked to the bathroom.
If it wasn’t for the live broadcast in the afternoon, Lin Wan would’ve liked to stay with Auntie Bao longer. The countryside was peaceful and there were fresh vegetables and fruits! She liked living here with Auntie Bao..
