I, holding the script, kidnapped the male protagonist's benefactor

Most of the houses in this village are one or two-story bungalows or tiled houses. A three-story building like this one standing here seems out of place with the surroundings.

"We're here." Ji Yu could hardly wait to get off the car.

It’s not that he has any homesickness for Qingxi Town. He has only been living here for a few months since he came here.

It’s just because I’ve been sitting in the car for so long that I feel sore all over and uncomfortable everywhere.

The air in Qingxi Town is particularly good, filled with the fragrance of soil and the fresh scent of flowers, plants and trees.

Unlike the steel-like big cities, this place is as quiet as a beautiful mountain village painting.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually fell on the top of the mountain. The golden sunlight was like ink splashed on the horizon, and the sky seemed like a gorgeous gem washed out by the world.

"The air here is so good." The driver couldn't help but exclaimed after getting off the car.

All the fatigue in my body disappeared instantly as I breathed the air here.

"The air is really good." Yuan Shenghe walked to Ji Yu's side, scanned the surroundings, and then his eyes fell on the building in front of him.

"This is your home?"

"Don't you think it doesn't look like the original? It looks a bit more fashionable compared to this village?" Ji Yu seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

Yuan Shenghe hummed, "It really doesn't look like it. Was this built by your parents later?"

"My parents were among the first people in the town to become wealthy. This three-story house was built a long time ago, but we usually lived in the city and only came back on weekends or holidays. Later, my parents passed away, and I haven't been back for several years."

Ji Yu walked forward and took out a key from his pocket. Because it had never been used, there was some rust on it, and the same was true for the lock on the door.

He opened the lock, pushed aside the spider silk, and pulled the wrench on the door.

As he exerted force, the already rusty iron door made some sharp and harsh creaking sounds.

Inside the gate was a large courtyard with a cement path in the middle and dirt on both sides.

In the past, the original owner's parents would grow vegetables and trees in the yard, but now there is only a tree left in the corner. After several years, it is still growing vigorously, adding a bit of green to this abandoned house.

Ji Yu opened the door of the house again. It hadn't been cleaned for several years, and the disturbed dust rushed out.

"How about we stay in a hotel?"

Ji Yu said to Yuan Shenghe who was following behind him.

"Is there a hotel nearby?" Yuan Shenghe glanced inside and it was obvious that the room had never been cleaned. A thick layer of dust was visible on the table.

"There should be. Before the government wanted to develop tourism here, many city dwellers came here every year to play, especially in the summer. Rich people came here in droves because this is a natural summer resort."

"Don't worry about me. If you want to live here, we can pay someone to come back and clean it."

Ji Yu thought about it and shook his head.

He is not the original owner and has no attachment to this place.

And now it is going to be demolished, and this house will not stay there, so there is no point in missing it.

"There's no need to waste money. The house will be demolished sooner or later."

"Who are you? What are you doing in someone else's house?" A woman's voice came from outside the yard.

Ji Yu and Yuan Shenghe walked out and saw the woman, and immediately felt that she looked familiar.

"Are you Aunt Zhang? I'm Ji Yu."

Aunt Zhang took a closer look and immediately recognized Ji Yu. She was surprised and said, "Ji Yu, why are you back? I haven't seen you for several years. You have become more and more handsome. Aunt Zhang almost couldn't recognize you!"

"It's been a long time since we last met. You look as young as before." Ji Yu said with a smile.

Aunt Zhang smiled brightly upon hearing this. "You're still as sweet as before. Why did you suddenly come back today?"

"I have to come here to deal with the demolition issue and find two better cemetery plots for my parents."

When mentioning Ji Yu's parents, Aunt Zhang sighed.

"You have finally come to the end of your suffering. If your parents are still alive, they will definitely feel relieved.

Ji Yu remembered something, opened the trunk of the car, and took out a bag.

"Aunt Zhang, this is a little gift I bought. Thank you for running around after my parents got into trouble and for lending me money."

"It's good enough that you're back. Why did you bring gifts?" Aunt Zhang waved her hand immediately. "Besides, you've already paid back the money I borrowed from you, and even paid a lot of interest."

Ji Yu directly stuffed the bag into her hands and said, "I've already bought it. If you don't want it, I can't use it myself. Just take it. It's not something particularly expensive."

"Okay." Aunt Zhang had no choice but to accept it. "Who are these two?"

She had noticed Yuan Shenghe a long time ago. The man was tall and handsome, and had a very imposing aura, so she didn't dare to look at him randomly, as she always felt like she was meeting her leader.

"They are my friends. They came with me to deal with the demolition. His surname is Yuan and the other one is Zhao."

Ji Yu didn't plan to give a detailed introduction. They wouldn't stay here for too long and they might not meet again in the future.

This time he came here just to say goodbye to the original owner's past.

"Hello." Yuan Shenghe nodded.

"Hello, hello." Aunt Zhang also nodded, "Are you planning to live here now? This house has not been cleaned up yet, it may not be easy to live in."

"Yes, so we plan to stay in a hotel for a few days. I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know what the situation here is like. Aunt Zhang, do you know if there is a good hotel nearby?"

"Then you've asked the right person. No one in Qingxi Town knows better than me. There is a resort hotel in our town. I'll take you there."

"Okay, then please Aunt Zhang show us the way."

Ji Yu locked the house again.

The resort hotel was built with funds raised by the Qingxi Town government for the purpose of accommodating tourists visiting the town.

Summer is the busiest time of year for customers, but Aunt Zhang said it was a good thing they came in winter.

Because there will be no vacant rooms for a whole month in summer, they are basically fully booked.

We drove only two miles before we saw the resort hotel.

After getting off the car, Ji Yu first thanked Aunt Zhang, and then asked the driver to take Aunt Zhang back.

He and Yuan Shenghe went in to complete the registration procedures for the hotel and finally settled down in Qingxi Town.

We had dinner at the hotel. Unlike the delicacies from land and sea in the city, the ingredients used here were all mountain products with a pure natural taste.

After dinner, Yuan Shenghe walked around the hotel twice and then returned to his room.

He still had a lot of official business to deal with, and the day's work was basically piled up until the evening.

Today is relatively good, as he has time to handle some work in the car. But he may not have time tomorrow, so he has to finish the more urgent work for tomorrow in advance.

Time flies and it is the next morning.

A faint dawn light gradually appeared on the horizon, and the rising sun illuminated the flowers, trees and villages that had been sleeping all night.

There is no hustle and bustle of the city here, and the air is filled with tranquility and natural atmosphere.

Ji Yu pulled open the curtains on the balcony window, and the towering green mountains in the distance came into view.

He stretched lazily. If he could see such beautiful scenery every day when he opened his eyes, he would be in a good mood all day long. No wonder rich people like to come here for vacation.

When he walked out, he saw Yuan Shenghe handling official business.

It's pitiful that he has to work in such a vacation place.
