My Lord, my wife said she doesn't have time to talk to you.

Yue Xing, who practiced martial arts, naturally noticed the displeased look, but chose to ignore it and continued working.

"What's wrong?" Fu Shiyan walked up to Huaying and asked. "No problem, are you done upstairs?" Huaying raised her eyes and their gazes met his.

"When I'm done, I'll take you to dinner." Fu Shiyan wanted to hold Huaying's hand, but realized that holding her hand in public would damage her reputation, so he put his hand back.

Fu Yi felt a little anxious as he watched the two people walking away. He didn't know what Fu Shiyan's intention was for sticking to the young lady every day, and the young lady didn't seem to be on guard at all.

The two went to a wonton stand they often went to. The proprietress looked at the couple with a smile, asked them to sit down, and started cooking wontons according to their usual preferences.

"Huaying." Fu Shiyan called out to the woman sitting opposite him. Huaying was a little surprised. This was the first time Fu Shiyan called her by her name. Usually, she liked to call him by his full name.

Her eyes met his again, and Huaying found her own small figure reflected in his eyes.

Huaying looked away somewhat awkwardly and hummed softly.

"Let's take a walk together after dinner." Fu Shiyan said while staring at her quietly. Huaying's face felt a little hot when he looked at her. Just then, the proprietress brought the wontons over, and Huaying hurriedly lowered her head to eat the wontons.

Before she even took a bite, she was overwhelmed by the heat and started coughing. Fu Shiyan quickly stood up and patted her back gently.

Hua Ying's face flushed, and she felt as uneasy as a deer running wildly in her heart. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Oh my God! This is so embarrassing, she is so ashamed. Fu Shiyan on the side laughed softly.

After dinner, they strolled leisurely on the street. The setting sun gradually sank to the west, stretching their shadows very long.

The two walked side by side, taking slow steps and enjoying the comfort of the moment. After walking for a while, Huaying hesitated for a while before finally saying, "My family came to look for me, but I don't remember them. They are like strangers to me." As Huaying said this, her mood gradually sank with the setting sun.

She missed home and had so many things to say to him, but she didn't know where to start.

When Fu Shiyan heard her words, he felt no joy in his heart. He asked himself, "Isn't this what I expected to be trusted by her?" Why did he feel so painful in his heart?

"But you have to go back, right?" Fu Shiyan's tone was also a little heavy. He was used to her company, and he really didn't want Huaying to leave.

Huaying nodded lightly and continued, "I want to see the new store make a profit, and for you to continue your studies." Huaying's nose was sore and she thought of the clingy Xiao Dongxue, Shi Nuan, Yue Niang, Aunt Zhang and others.

They were the people who came into this world to give her warmth. They were simple in character and soft in heart, and made her feel like family.

"Huaying, can you trust me?" Fu Shiyan stopped and turned around to look at Huaying seriously.

Immersed in the emotion of parting, Huaying's eyes gradually filled with moisture. With moist eyes and a hint of nasal tone, she asked, "What did you say? I didn't hear clearly."

"Can you trust me to pass the imperial examination and enter the capital?" Fu Shiyan asked, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes as he stared at her.

Huaying naturally believed it. She had seen Fu Shiyan's knowledge and it was really impressive, so she nodded at Fu Shiyan.

After receiving Huaying's affirmation of his abilities, Fu Shiyan's expression became a little unnatural and a blush appeared on the tips of his ears.

He wanted to ask Huaying if she would wait for him, but he didn't ask in the end.

Huaying tilted her head, wondering if Fu Shiyan meant that he would go to the capital in the future, and then they would continue to do business together?

Yes, why didn't she think of that? Wasn't he studying to get into the capital? He once said that he wanted to work for the welfare of the people. Thinking of this, Huaying felt much happier.

Fu Shiyan saw that Huaying's expression had eased a little and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, so he knew that Huaying understood what he meant.

Before they knew it, they came to a small and exquisite stone bridge. Clear streams flowed under the bridge, and the weeping willows on both sides looked particularly green under the illumination of the street lights.

I don’t know what festival it is today, but there are a lot of people on the steps beside the river, releasing lanterns by the river. The lanterns floating on the river are really beautiful.

The night breeze gently brushes the cheeks of pedestrians on the road, blowing away the dryness of the day and bringing a touch of coolness and comfort to people.

Huaying pulled a middle-aged woman passing by and asked, "Sister, what festival is today? I see so many people are lighting lanterns."

The woman smiled and said, "You must be from another place. Today is the Little Girls' Day here. The real Girls' Day is on the Qixi Festival. These are the wish lanterns that girls who haven't reached the age of marriage put up, praying to the Bodhisattva to bless them to make their wishes come true."

Huaying didn't know whether the original owner had reached adulthood or not. Looking at those wish lanterns, she remembered that in the real world these lanterns were used to express grief.

I don’t know if she is still alive in this world, and whether her friends will light a lantern for her. Huaying feels a little sad tonight.

Seeing an old man selling lanterns under the bridge, Fu Shiyan walked over and bought two. He looked at Huaying who was standing on the bridge staring at the lanterns on the river, wondering what she was thinking.

Fu Shiyan walked up to her, gently handed the pink lantern to Huaying, and said gently: "Let's go and make a wish too."

Hearing the voice, Huaying raised her black eyes and looked at him, only to see gentleness in his starry eyes.

Huaying felt touched, and she smiled sweetly and said thank you.

The two came to the steps where the lanterns were placed. Fu Shiyan lit the lanterns in his hands, and Huaying carefully dragged them onto the clear river. The lanterns floated back and forth with the waves of the river, and soon followed the surrounding lanterns and gradually faded away.

Huaying clasped her hands together and closed her eyes. "Thank God for letting me live again. Whether I can go back or not, I will live well here. I wish my friends in this world peace and health."

After making a wish, Fu Shiyan looked up at Huaying who was making a wish devoutly beside him, wondering if he was included in her wish.

Huaying opened her eyes and looked at the lanterns that were moving further and further away. Curiously, she asked Fu Shiyan beside her, "What wish did you make?"

Fu Shiyan raised the corner of his mouth and said, "What wish did you make?"

Seeing Fu Shiyan, who was usually cold and aloof, showing such a childish side, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, I asked you first, how are you?"

The smile on Fu Shiyan's lips gradually became more obvious, but he just looked at her without saying anything.

Yue Xing, who was hiding in the dark, looked at this dazzling scene and thought to herself, I wonder if the young master has received my letter. I hope to bring the young lady back home as soon as possible.

Huaying and Fu Shiyan returned to the shop again. The workers had already gone off work. Looking at the painted walls and the clean floor, Huaying walked towards the kitchen, which was the most important place. In the spacious room, there were several stoves of different sizes, with a table in the middle used for serving dishes.

The walls on the second and third floors are also painted very smoothly. I have to say that Master Yang's decoration team does their work very carefully.

Next, it's time to gradually put in the soft furnishings. Huaying calculated the date and estimated that it would be open in a month at most. During this period, there is still a lot of preparation to do. Right now, we need to hire a few chefs...

Fu Shiyan went upstairs and called Huaying to go home together. Huaying responded and followed him out.

The two chatted about recruiting again on the way. Fu Shiyan said, "I have two candidates for chefs. They will be here in a few days. We will recruit others later."

Huaying nodded, and they returned home. Huaying changed the water for the sprouts again, and after a simple wash, she prepared to go to bed. Suddenly she remembered something and went to the backyard to check on the peppers. Seeing that the peppers were growing well, she put them back into her stomach.

When she was about to go back to her room to rest, she suddenly heard some noise in the peach forest. She leaned forward in the moonlight and asked bravely, "Who's there?" The only sounds she heard were the wind and the chirping of insects.
