On the Dragon Boat Festival, Su Zimo returned to the capital from a city thousands of miles away with only one purpose, which was to celebrate this traditional festival with Ye Wanqing.

When he got off the plane, the airport highway was lined with decorations in the shape of mugwort and rice dumplings, which filled him with a festive atmosphere. As the traffic slowly drove into the city, the atmosphere became even stronger.

Li Meng sat next to him, constantly reminding him to keep a low profile these days. The Dragon Boat Festival should be a day to relax and rest, and not to attract unnecessary attention.

Su Zimo hasn't returned to the capital for more than a month. He was in a good mood today as he could come back to celebrate the festival with Ye Wanqing, and he responded to all of Li Meng's reminders.

After a long forty-minute drive, they finally arrived at the front yard of the small villa in the suburbs.

"Sister Meng, I'm leaving first. You should go back and rest early." Su Zimo said as he prepared to get off the car.

Li Meng glared at him helplessly, with a hint of pampering in her tone: "You, just stop causing trouble for me!"

"Okay, okay, I got it!" Su Zimo responded with a smile, took his suitcase from the driver, and walked towards the gate of the villa.

Li Meng sat in the car, watching Su Zimo's back, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

She could clearly see Su Zimo's feelings for Ye Wanqing, and she also knew Ye Wanqing's attitude towards Su Zimo.

Li Meng felt that it would be best for her not to interfere too much in such emotional matters: "Uncle Zhang, let's go home too."

Although this small villa was a gift from Su Zimo to Ye Wanqing, the only key was always in Ye Wanqing's hands.

Su Zimo rang the doorbell and waited patiently outside. Before long, he saw Ye Wanqing walking through the well-tended garden, step by step towards the gate, and then opened the door.

As night fell, the last ray of afterglow in the sky gradually dissipated. Ye Wanqing could already make out Su Zimo's figure from a distance. He was standing outside the door in casual clothes. A flicker of emotion flashed in her eyes, and she walked forward and opened the door.

"Why didn't you let me know before you came back?"

She originally thought that Su Zimo would not be able to come back to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival due to his busy work, so she did not even prepare the festive rice dumplings and mugwort leaves in advance.

Su Zimo's eyes fell on her, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I just wanted to give you a surprise."

Ye Wanqing glanced at him lightly, raised the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's windy outside, come in quickly."

Su Zimo walked into the villa, looked around, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Sister Wanqing, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, shouldn't we hang some moxa leaves to add to the festive atmosphere? It seems a bit too deserted now."

Ye Wanqing handed him a glass of cold water: "It's too late today, let's go buy it tomorrow."

Su Zimo took the cup of water, walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door, and found that there were no special ingredients for the Dragon Boat Festival except a few bottles of drinks.

This was in stark contrast to the lively festive atmosphere outside.

Ye Wanqing didn't give him a chance to speak and asked directly: "Don't you need to participate in any activities for the Dragon Boat Festival this year?"

"Yes, I have to go to Beijing Satellite TV to participate in a program tomorrow." Su Zimo responded.

Ye Wanqing glanced at him and then asked, "What would you like to eat for dinner?"

She picked up her phone, opened the food delivery app, and handed it directly to Su Zimo: "Take a look at what you want to eat. I plan to make some of my specialty dumplings."

Su Zimo looked at Ye Wanqing, as if he wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Seeing that he didn't react, Ye Wanqing made the choice for him: "Then I'll just prepare some food. You go upstairs and take a shower first."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the kitchen. Su Zimo looked at her back, frowned slightly, picked up the suitcase helplessly, and walked up the stairs.

Ye Wanqing was busy in the kitchen, preparing four delicious dishes.

As there was little food left at home, she did not expect Su Zimo to return suddenly. She had originally planned to go to the market to buy some fresh food to celebrate on the Dragon Boat Festival. For her alone, there was not much special expectation for the Dragon Boat Festival.

After dinner, Su Zimo took out a carefully selected gift from his luggage and handed it to Ye Wanqing: "Sister Wanqing, come with me to the recording site of the Dragon Boat Festival special program tomorrow. I have a few tickets for the audience seats."

Ye Wanqing took the gift and chuckled, "Haven't you learned your lesson from the last time because of the trending search?"

Su Zimo smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. He just watched Ye Wanqing turn around and walk up the stairs.

The next morning, Ye Wanqing got up early and prepared to go to the market to buy ingredients needed for the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Sister Wanqing, good morning." Su Zimo also came down from upstairs after she prepared breakfast.

Ye Wanqing looked at him in surprise: "Why did you get up so early today?"

"Of course I'm going to accompany you to buy ingredients for the Dragon Boat Festival!" Su Zimo answered excitedly.

Ye Wanqing smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly: "The gift you gave is very beautiful, I like it very much, thank you."

The gift Su Zimo gave her was a pair of moon-shaped earrings. The design was simple but very exquisite, and very suitable for matching with various outfits.

"As long as you like it," Su Zimo replied with satisfaction. The earrings weren't from a well-known brand, but a niche brand he'd stumbled upon during the shoot. He immediately felt they suited Ye Wanqing's style perfectly.

Ye Wanqing asked curiously, "When does the show start recording?"

"It starts around 1:00 p.m., and we need to rehearse before recording," Su Zimo explained.

Ye Wanqing nodded in agreement: "Then let's have breakfast quickly, and then we'll go to the market."

"Okay," Su Zimo replied. He wanted to invite Ye Wanqing to watch the show again, but seeing that she had already lowered her head to start eating, he didn't bring it up again.

Ye Wanqing's personality has always been like this. She seems easy-going on the surface, but once she makes a decision, few people can change her mind.

Just like when she decided to marry Lin Xuan, fortunately, she has now ended that marriage with Lin Xuan.

After breakfast, Ye Wanqing changed into an outfit suitable for going out.

Although it was mid-May, the early morning in Beijing was still a little chilly. She chose a pair of trousers, matched them with a light-colored sweater, and put on a hat and sunglasses, leaving only the corners of her smiling mouth exposed, looking both low-key and fashionable.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Su Zimo wore an outfit similar to Ye Wanqing's.

The two of them left home before eight o'clock and drove to the bustling market.

Today, Ye Wanqing was driving a black Mercedes-Benz, and the trunk was filled with all kinds of fresh food.

They returned from the market laden with goods, just in time for the supermarket to open. On the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a constant stream of people out shopping. Ye Wanqing folded her shopping list in half and gave half to Su Zimo, and the two decided to split up to increase efficiency.

Su Zimo was thinking about buying mugwort leaves and rice dumplings, so he went straight to the theme area as soon as he entered the mall.

By the time they finished shopping, it was almost ten o'clock. On the way home, they encountered a small traffic jam, which delayed them for about ten minutes.

Around eleven o'clock, Li Meng called, asking Ye Wanqing to help take Su Zimo to the TV station. After hanging up, the green light came on, and Ye Wanqing pointed to the road on the left: "Let's go this way."

Su Zimo was a little puzzled: "Sister Wanqing, do we need to buy anything else?"

"Li Meng just called and asked me to take you to the TV station right now." Ye Wanqing explained.

"It should still be early now. Doesn't the rehearsal start at one o'clock?" Su Zimo seemed a little reluctant, but finally followed Ye Wanqing's advice and turned left towards the TV station.

Arriving at the TV station's main entrance, the clock hands pointed to half past eleven. Ye Wanqing gently put her phone back into her pocket and turned to Su Zimo and said, "Okay, we're here. Li Meng should be waiting for you."

Su Zimo looked at Ye Wanqing, his eyes showing some anticipation: "Are you really not going to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with me?"

"Don't worry, I will watch your show at home through live TV." Ye Wanqing said as she pushed open the car door, got out of the car, then walked around the front of the car and stood next to the driver's seat waiting for Su Zimo.

Su Zimo sighed and had to get off the car. He worriedly reminded her, "Then be careful when you go home. Remember to eat a big meal at noon and make rice dumplings at night. I'll be home as soon as I finish the show!"

"I understand. Don't forget that I am your sister." Ye Wanqing replied with a hint of pampering in her tone.

Su Zimo came back specifically for this holiday, hoping to spend it with Ye Wanqing, but he didn't expect that she would have to stay at home alone in the end.

He felt a little apologetic in his heart, and while Ye Wanqing was not paying attention, he quickly gave her a hug: "Sister Wanqing, wait for me, I will be back as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly into the TV station's door.

Ye Wanqing looked at his back, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she thought to herself: He is still so young and always maintains this childishness.

After watching Su Zimo disappear at the entrance of the TV station, Ye Wanqing was about to return to the car, but suddenly felt someone was watching her.

She turned her head, and when her eyes fell on the familiar face, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

I actually met him here.
