Fan Jian cheerfully brought Luo Ye and Su Baizhou back home.
Today's lunch was made by Su Baizhou and Luo Ye.
Su Baizhou did the cooking, while Luo Ye cut vegetables and assisted.
Dishes of delicious food were brought out from the kitchen by Luo Ye.
Seeing this scene, Fan Xinya and Fan Jian felt that such days were truly wonderful.
After placing a dish on the table, Luo Ye said, "Auntie, Uncle, you can eat if you're hungry. I'm going to the kitchen to help Senior Sister."
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ye."
Fan Xinya found him more and more pleasing to the eye, feeling that this young man was very satisfactory.
After Luo Ye returned to the kitchen, Fan Xinya sighed, "This child, his eyes are full of affection for our Fanfan."
"I can see that."
Fan Jian suddenly fell silent and whispered, "Sister, do you know about his family?"
Fan Xinya looked at him and shook her head, "When has our Fan family ever cared about the family background when marrying off a daughter? Brother, if the other party is wealthy, our Fanfan is excellent enough to be worthy of them. If the other party is poor, our Fanfan wouldn't look down on him."
"No, Sister."
Fan Jian whispered some secrets into Fan Xinya's ear.
The latter's expression changed slightly, revealing a look of surprise.
What followed was deep regret.
"So that's how it is..."
When Luo Ye came out of the kitchen again, Fan Xinya looked at him with even more tenderness, as if Luo Ye were her own son.
Just then, the phone rang.
Fan Xinya picked up her phone and frowned upon seeing the caller ID.
Fan Jian even snatched the phone, answered it, and angrily said, "What face do you have to call my sister?"
From the phone came the voice of Su Baizhou's father, Su Changqing.
"Xinya, is Zhouzhou with you?"
"Fanfan is my niece, what business is it of yours whether she's here or not?" Fan Jian was furious.
Before Fan Jian could continue arguing, Su Baizhou walked out, still wearing an apron. She snatched the phone and said sternly, "If you divorce my mother, I'll go with my mother."
Then, she hung up the phone and calmly returned to the kitchen.
Fan Jian and Fan Xinya stared blankly at their seats, then exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
Not long after, Luo Ye brought dish after dish to the table.
This was the result of his and Fairy Senior Sister's efforts. Although he hadn't helped much, looking at the abundant lunch, he felt very satisfied.
After lunch, a neighbor needed help harvesting corn, so they asked Fan Jian to assist.
With his warm and helpful nature, the latter readily agreed, and even brought Luo Ye along.
For Luo Ye, this was a magical experience, allowing him to feel the hardships of the farmers.
October, though at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, had not yet cooled down.
The sun hung high in the sky, causing Luo Ye's sweat to pour down.
For the past two days, he had been in the fields harvesting corn. His simple and honest nature had also won him the affection of the neighbors.
In the end, he received a reward of two hundred yuan.
Compared to his monthly manuscript fees of nearly tens of thousands of yuan, these two hundred yuan in cash felt even more precious to him.
With two red bills in his pocket, Luo Ye rode his small three-wheeled vehicle, taking Fan Jian home.
Over these few days, he had completely bonded with everyone else, even becoming the king of the village children.
Especially his gaming skills in "Eating Chicken" and "Honor of Kings" instantly conquered the primary school students within a few kilometers.
The ranks of "Invincible War God" and "Honor of Kings" were legendary among primary schoolers.
Moreover, Luo Ye had spent money on his "Eating Chicken" account.
The golden Maserati car skin made all the primary school students envious.
However, happy times always come to an end.
The seven-day holiday had already reached its fifth day.
Su Baizhou and Luo Ye had to return to Jiangcheng.
At the village entrance, the two sat in Fan Jian's electric tricycle.
A large group of children followed behind the vehicle. One little chubby boy cried, "King of Ultraman, I'll wait for you to come back."
Hearing this, Su Baizhou subconsciously glanced at the young man beside her.
Luo Ye showed an embarrassed expression.
"Father of Ultraman is also waiting for you to come back."
"Tiga is also waiting for you!"
The other children said one after another, their eyes seeming to hold a light.
A girl shouted, "Brother Luo Ye, I want to marry you when I grow up."
Upon hearing this, Su Baizhou's expression darkened.
Luo Ye trembled, feeling as if a murderous aura had appeared beside him, making him restless.
When he looked towards the source of the killing intent, he saw Su Baizhou staring blankly at something else, as if nothing had happened.
Fan Xinya said with a smile, "Fanfan, it's getting colder soon, buy a few more clothes so you don't catch a cold."
"Okay, Mom, you take care of yourself too."
Perhaps the care from parents is always simple.
They can't help with their children's studies or careers, so they can only remind them to not catch a cold and to eat well.
"Mom, divorce him. I'll stand by you," Su Baizhou said seriously.
"I know. After I rest at home for a while, I'll go back and talk to him about it."
After the mother and daughter chatted for a while, Fan Jian sat in the front of the car and looked back, saying, "Sister, don't worry, these two children are very sensible. Our Fanfan has Xiao Ye to look after her."
As soon as he said this, a group of elementary school students covered their mouths and let out gasps of surprise, looking at Luo Ye and Su Baizhou with mischievous smiles.
Su Baizhou glared fiercely at Fan Jian, who rubbed his head, gave a sheepish smile, and then started the power for the three-wheeled vehicle.
"Let's go!"
The three-wheeled vehicle was still as exaggerated as ever. Although it was electric, it gave off the feeling of spewing exhaust fumes, leaving a layer of kicked-up dust in its wake.
Upon arriving at the station, the two boarded the train back to Jiangcheng. Su Baizhou and Luo Ye seemed to have returned to how they were at school.
They sat in their respective seats, neither of them speaking.
Luo Ye looked at Su Baizhou and comforted her, "Senior Sister, don't be sad. When one door closes, another opens."
"I'm not sad."
In fact, Su Baizhou wasn't sad at all.
In her heart, her mother should have divorced that man long ago.
So now, she was only happy for her mother.
"Then why is Senior Sister looking so glum?" Luo Ye asked curiously.
Hearing this, Su Baizhou glanced at Luo Ye and said calmly, "Haven't I always been like this..."
It was just that she had been acting like a good daughter in front of her mother these past few days, so Luo Ye was a little unaccustomed to her returning to her old ways.
The Senior Sister's expression was cold. Luo Ye stared at her profile, lost in thought...
At first, Su Baizhou could pretend not to see, but as Luo Ye kept staring, she felt her heart rate begin to become irregular.
As soon as she turned her head, wanting to question Luo Ye about why he was staring at her, she suddenly froze.
The moment she turned her head, her eyes met Luo Ye's.
Luo Ye's eyes were beautiful, possessing a clear and pure aura.
Those eyes seemed unpolluted by the mundane world, and through them, one could see the thoughts of their owner.
Luo Ye was like this; he didn't hide anything from Fairy Senior Sister.
Luo Ye then said softly, "Senior Sister, you don't have to be so tired in front of me."
