The early morning of summer came quickly.
It was still dim when I got out of bed, and after washing my face for over ten minutes, the sky had turned quite white.
The sun at the horizon was also about to rise.
The four of them emptied their minds and quietly sat on the grass, enjoying the sunrise.
Afterward, after sorting out breakfast and eating, the three women looked at Chen Yang.
“What should we do next, continue into the mountain, or just hang around this area?”
The three women asked Chen Yang.
Chen Yang thought for a moment and decided to wander around the area in the morning and head straight home in the afternoon.
“Mmhm, okay, we’ll do as you say.”
Li Han nodded her head in agreement with Chen Yang’s idea.
Afterward, taking advantage of the cooler morning temperatures, Chen Yang continued to lead the three women around the forest.
This area could be considered deep in the mountains, surrounded by towering ancient trees and dense shrubs.
However, the mood of the three women was still very good as they moved through it.
Because they would occasionally see a few small animals.
Squirrels, monkeys, weasels, and so on.
It felt like visiting a wild zoo, and they found it very interesting.
Chen Yang led the way, watching the “zoo” around him while also scanning all the bushes they passed by.
He hoped to encounter some rare herbs.
However, after wandering around, although they saw many common herbs, they did not come across any rare ones.
Their luck was pretty bad.
After wandering in the forest for a few hours, and seeing that it was almost noon, Chen Yang led the three women back the way they came.
They returned near the tent.
It was quite hot at noon, and nobody felt like cooking a big meal, so they quickly ate four instant noodles after preparing them, packed up their things, and began to descend the mountain.
On the way down, the group’s spirits were still quite high, chatting and talking as they made their way out of the mountain.
The four of them had left at noon, and it was almost evening by the time they got back to Liuhe Village.
Upon returning to the village, they rested briefly and unloaded everything they had carried.
Just as Chen Yang was about to head to the kitchen to fuss over dinner, Li Han suddenly announced that she needed to return to the city.
“Why so suddenly?
Why not leave tomorrow morning?” Chen Yang asked in surprise.
Li Han shook her head seriously, “No, I must go back today.
My dad is still waiting at home, and the Gu Family’s project urgently needs the design drawings.
We need to sort this out quickly, and you’re good as a contractor.”
Towards the end, Li Han joked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi and Wu Kexin couldn’t help but cover their mouths and snicker at Chen Yang.
This made Chen Yang a bit embarrassed.
“That makes sense, the Gu Family’s matter is urgent and does need to be settled early.”
Chen Yang nodded awkwardly and then looked up at Li Han, “Then let me drive you guys, since it’s so late and inconvenient.”
As he said this, Chen Yang took out his keys.
Li Han gave Chen Yang a speechless glare, “I didn’t drive here, are you expecting me to walk back?”
“Oh, right, I forgot you didn’t drive here.”
Chen Yang slapped his forehead, clearly embarrassed.
Afterward, after some more small talk, Chen Yang drove Li Han and Yang Ruoxi.
Li Han was going back, though Yang Ruoxi initially did not want to go back.
However, Li Han insisted on taking Yang Ruoxi back with her because she knew that Yang Tiancheng might be paying attention to them.
It was okay for them to stay at Chen Yang’s place as a group, but if Yang Ruoxi stayed alone at Chen Yang’s house, surely Yang Tiancheng would come to take her away.
Thus, Yang Ruoxi grudgingly got into the car with Li Han.
“Bye, Kexin.
Remember to miss me,” Yang Ruoxi said as she rolled down the car window and waved goodbye to Wu Kexin.
Wu Kexin smiled sweetly, “I definitely will, don’t worry.”
“Yeah, I’ll miss you too!
If you really miss me and sis, you can always come to the county town to hang out with us.
We’ll make sure to treat you well!”
Yang Ruoxi said excitedly.
Wu Kexin smiled, “Sure, I’ll definitely go with Chen Yang when I have the time.”
After a brief goodbye, Chen Yang started the car and drove toward the county town.
Driving at night, Chen Yang was extra cautious.
Usually, it took half an hour to reach the county town, but this time it took him almost an hour.
This didn’t even include the distance to Li Han’s house after entering the county town.
By the time they reached Li Han’s house, it was already an hour later.
“Ruoxi, Li Han, we’re here.”
After arriving outside Li Han’s villa, Chen Yang turned and spoke to the two of them.
The two hadn’t realized they were home yet.
Upon hearing Chen Yang’s reminder, they finally reacted.
“That was fast?”
Li Han said, puzzled, then pulled Yang Ruoxi out of the car.
“Fast?
It’s been over an hour,” Chen Yang laughed.
Li Han looked at his wristwatch, and indeed it had been over an hour.
“Haha, I got lost in thought in the car and forgot the time.”
Li Han said with a light smile, then extended an invite, “Chen Yang, why not come in and sit for a bit?
Have a cup of tea before you go?”
Chen Yang shook his head, “I’d rather not have tea, I still have some things to do later.
You guys go ahead.”
Chen Yang didn’t want to stay, and Li Han didn’t insist.
“Alright then, Ruoxi and I will head in.
Drive slowly on your way back, I’ll contact you tomorrow about the project,”
Li Han said.
“Okay.”
Chen Yang nodded, then after saying goodbye to Yang Ruoxi again, he turned the car around and left Li Han’s villa complex.
Leaving Li Han’s house, Chen Yang didn’t hurry home but headed directly to Night Snack Street.
Since the awkward incident with Xiaocui last time, Chen Yang hadn’t been back to the snack shop.
He wondered how Night Snack Street was doing lately, especially his lobsters.
Having nothing else to do and already being there, he thought it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.
Chen Yang drove all the way to the snack shop.
The old man was overjoyed to see Chen Yang arrive.
“Yo!
Boss Chen, you’re here!”
The old man’s face brimmed with surprise.
Xiaocui at the front desk was also visibly thrilled, but she didn’t speak up to greet Chen Yang.
Perhaps she was shy.
Chen Yang glanced at Xiaocui from afar, then nodded, “Yes, I’m here.”
“What brings you this time?
Looking for Xiaocui?” the old man asked with a laugh.
The old man spoke so directly that Chen Yang felt somewhat at a loss.
“Uh…
no, I was just in town dropping someone off and thought I’d stop by, grab a quick meal, and support your business,” Chen Yang laughed.
That’s what Chen Yang said, but the old man didn’t really listen.
In his eyes, Chen Yang was there for Xiaocui.
“Grabbing a quick meal?
Sure thing, sure thing, come on in.
I’ll go to the kitchen and get them to make something special,” the old man said enthusiastically, pulling Chen Yang inside, eventually leading him into the private room where they’d dined last time.
“Boss Chen, you take a seat.
I’ll go order something special from the kitchen,” the old man said as he arranged for Chen Yang to sit, then turned and left.
The old man was very enthusiastic, and Chen Yang didn’t hesitate.
After all, he was there to spend money, not to dine and dash.
What was there to feel embarrassed about?
Chen Yang sat comfortably, pouring himself a cup of tea.
