The appointment with Grandma Yang was at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the location was not far from home. After lunch, Zhong Suhan still had nearly three hours to prepare. She was lying on the sofa reading a novel, and a messy soap opera was playing on TV. The plot had now progressed to the point where the male and female protagonists went to outer space and started fighting with the second male lead who was resurrected as the second alien prince, and the second female lead was still fighting for the custody of the child.

Yan Yixiu said he was going out to get something. Zhong Suran was still on a business trip. The freshly washed dishes were placed on the kitchen drain rack. Water droplets were dripping down. The electric fan was squeaking and the cool breeze felt very comfortable on the body.

The noise outside is also blocked by the windows, and only faint sounds are transmitted into the house, forming a white noise that makes people feel very comfortable.

Zhong Suhan yawned, rubbed her eyes, put the novel on her chest, listened to the sound from the TV, and fell asleep in a daze. In a half-awake state, she saw Wen Yubai.

It seemed to be a scorching summer day over there in the Emperor's place. He was not wearing much and was standing in the waterside pavilion in the Imperial Garden, watching the lotus flowers swaying in the wind. I was standing behind him and could not see his expression, but could only hear his voice.

"Did you return to him?"

She instinctively felt that the other party was asking her whether she had returned to Asi, so she nodded her head. But then she felt that the other party was facing away from her and he couldn't see her nodding, so she wanted to open her mouth to speak, but was awakened by a strong strange fragrance.

The first thing Zhong Suhan did after waking up was to breathe heavily. Yan Yizheng was sitting beside him, looking at him with a smile on his face. He immediately understood where the suffocation in the dream came from. The other party pinched his nose! He angrily threw a book at him.

"Could you please not pinch my nose and wake me up next time?"

"But if you don't do this, you won't wake up at all." Yan Yixiu was not angry even though he was hit by a book. He handed her the clothes he had taken back. "You don't have any formal clothes in your closet. I went home and got you one that your sister hasn't worn. See if it fits you."

He brought out a sleeveless, dark green, heavily embroidered dress that reached to the knees. There were large, gorgeous peonies embroidered on the lower left corner. The material was of great texture and the waistline was well-fitted. It didn't make her look old-fashioned when she wore it. Instead, it made her skin look whiter than snow and her temperament was excellent.

Zhong Suhan thought for a while, took out an ice-type bracelet without a trace of green or impurities from the jewelry box, put it on his hand, turned around in front of the dressing mirror, and suddenly remembered the last words Wen Yubai said in his dream just now.

"It's good that you're back. Live a good life over there. You're so heartless. You only came to see me once in all these years. But I'm satisfied."

She had a premonition that she would never see Wen Yubai again.

"Su Han, are you okay?"

Yan Yixiu was urging her outside the door. Zhong Suhan gathered her emotions and opened the door. She saw surprise in the other person's eyes. "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Yeah, she's very beautiful, as beautiful as a goddess." Yan Yixiu said with a smile, reaching out to touch her loose hair. "So, did you dream about something bad at noon? You're so sad."

Zhong Suhan didn't say anything. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to want an answer. She reached over and took a small hair accessory from the jewelry box, pinned it on her head, and then took advantage of her waist and said, "Let's go out!"

"Just go out, who gave you the right to touch me?" Zhong Suhan stepped on his shoe without thinking, and went to the entrance to change his shoes.

She stepped hard, and Yan Yixiu gritted his teeth for a long time before he limped to catch up with her.

Considering Grandma Yang’s age, Yan Yixiu decided to hold the meeting in a teahouse.

This teahouse has a history of one hundred years. It was destroyed once during the war. After the war, the owner spent a lot of money to rebuild it and found the employees and masters who had been separated that year one by one. For those who could not be found, they were given money to help with their lives or hired as new employees and masters according to the wishes of their descendants.

Zhong Suhan followed Yan Yixiu through street after street, through alley after alley, and finally stopped in front of an ancient gate.

There were two stone lions placed at the gate, and the word "Tea Garden" was inscribed on a plaque. Yan Yixiu handed the location card to the doorman, indicating that he had reserved a seat in the tea garden today. The doorman carefully read the card before inviting them in.

After the doorman led them into the gate, a beautiful lady in cheongsam continued to lead them inside, through the garden, and when they reached the room, another lady who was dressed more exquisitely continued to lead the way.

Zhong Suhan followed all the way, recalling the time when she entered the palace to find Wen Yubai. It was the same at that time. After walking a certain distance, someone would take over to lead her. She still hasn't figured out the meaning of this, and even feels that it's a bit of a waste of manpower.

The lady brought them to a private room on the second floor, and then skillfully lit a stick of incense in the corner. The faint fragrance mixed with the strange scent on Guaidian's body. Zhong Suhan felt like he was going to suffocate, so he stepped forward and pinched out the incense stick with his bare hands.

"I don't like it, don't order it."

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" The lady apologized quickly and opened the window to ventilate the room. The wind quickly dispersed the fragrance in the room, but relatively speaking, it also blew away the cold air in the room. "You have reserved seats for three people, and there is still Ms. Yang who has not arrived. Would you like to serve the refreshments now or later?"

"I'm hungry. Can I come up now?" Zhong Suhan lay flat on the mahogany table, counting the wood grain on the table out of boredom.

"Come on now." Yan Yixiu sat down next to her, rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his beautifully shaped arms. He picked out a candy from the candy plate on the table that he thought Zhong Suhan would like, peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed it into her mouth.

The candy is sweet, even too sweet, but in this era, it is still the most precious dessert.

"Too sweet." Zhong Suhan did not spit it out in disgust. Instead, she muttered like a spoiled child and pushed the candy in her mouth. Just when she didn't know what to do, the person who wanted to see her arrived, and tea and snacks also arrived.

The first time Grandma Yang saw Zhong Suhan, she felt that this girl was extraordinary. She had the same calmness as Nong Xuxian and the others, the kind of calmness that came from having survived mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
