Due to various reasons, Sun Cheng finally drove their car to pick everyone up one by one. According to his route plan, Chen Qian was the last passenger on this trip.

After Chen Qian put his suitcase in the car, he sent a message to Chi Mu, telling him that he had already left. Chi Mu was unable to see Chen Qian off because he had to go to work. In the morning, before going to work, he grumbled beside him and cried out that it was a pity.

Sun Cheng was driving, while Lin Xixi sat in the passenger seat. She had automatically activated the navigation system, saying she wanted to be the navigator for this trip. She typed in the address Yu Wangxi had just given her and repeated it aloud, "The address is... 66 Changchun Road, Dawen Village, Lian County, right?"

"Yes." Yu Wangxi looked at the location Qi Yu had just sent and helped her confirm the information. After confirming the address, she clicked on her Moments and began to look through the pictures Qi Yu had shared in recent days. "It feels like it will be someplace with beautiful mountains and rivers. But they are quite leisurely and elegant, actually going to such a remote place to spend their summer vacation."

"Did they go hiking a few days ago? They seem to be living such healthy lives." Chen Qian came over to look at two photos together. The screen was full of green trees, grass and blooming flowers, and occasionally there were one or two photos of the two of them together.

Because the location was a bit remote, the journey took quite a while. They left at around nine in the morning and didn't arrive until two or three in the afternoon. They even had lunch at the service area. When they were almost there, Yu Wangxi called Ke Wu, who told him that they would be waiting at the banyan tree at the entrance of the village. They asked him to pay close attention and not miss them, otherwise they would have to wander around the village.

Obviously, the function of six eyes was more than enough for them to find two boys with the same road signs. When they reached the intersection in front of the village, they could already see the person standing under a big tree not far away.

The car stopped in front of the people, and after a simple greeting, Qi Yu and Ke Wu drove them slowly in the village.

The village roads weren't very wide, sometimes barely more than alleys, narrow enough for just one car to pass. Ke Wu and Qi Yu's Yadi electric scooters led the way, followed by Sun Cheng's black Volkswagen. Occasionally, they'd pass fields, vast expanses of lush green. Later, while strolling past, Ke Wu explained that they were wheat fields.

Not long after driving, Qi Yu steered the electric bike into a yard. Sun Cheng followed and stopped in a corner of the yard.

"Wow, this is a super luxurious European-style country villa. I always see it online, but I never thought I could live in it." Lin Xixi got out of the car with her bag. She couldn't see the whole picture because of the glass in the car. Now she got out of the car, she could see the whole picture clearly.

"This is... my dad's hobby. Even though we don't live there, we still want to build a beautiful one back home. However, we only come back for New Year and other festivals when we need to pay our respects." Qi Yu parked the car and came over to help with the luggage. "There's a market and a small supermarket outside. I'll take you there later to see what you like to eat and we can cook it together tonight."

"Then I'll take care of cooking and washing dishes first." Chen Qian raised his empty hand. He couldn't even cut vegetables well, so he didn't want to join in the hustle and bustle in the kitchen.

"Okay, okay, okay. That's what I wanted." Yu Wangxi responded quickly.

"We can go for a walk after dinner. It's not that hot here and it's very comfortable at night." Ke Wu took a box from the trunk and led everyone inside.

……

Although it was already late, the market was still bustling with people, and from time to time, the sounds of hawking and bargaining could be heard from the stalls. Most of the vendors were elderly, with bamboo baskets or snakeskin cloths in front of them, with vegetables piled up in piles.

"The market here has a wide variety of things." Sun Cheng picked up a tomato, turned it around, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it into the bag in his hand.

"Chef Sun, I want to eat braised pork ribs." Yu Wangxi saw a meat stall not far away, grabbed the back of Sun Cheng's clothes, and his eyes lit up.

"Do you really think I'm a restaurant? I've even lit the lights. If you want to eat anything else, tell me now." Sun Cheng handed the bag of tomatoes in his hand to the stall owner to weigh, without caring about his clothes or looking back.

"Then I also want hot and sour tomato and egg soup." Yu Wangxi looked at the red basket of fruits and suddenly got inspired.

"Hey, why does that guy in black look weird? Didn't we see him at the entrance of the supermarket just now?" Lin Xixi was wandering around, but after bumping into someone in front of a stall, she came back with a look of doubt on her face.

"Which one?" Chen Qian didn't pay attention to what was happening next to him. He was not picky about food and couldn't name any dishes, so he just focused on chatting with Chi Mu.

"The one in front of the fish stall." Lin Xixi said in a low voice, pointing in a certain direction vaguely in front of her.

Chen Qian noticed her movements and glanced in that direction. There was a man in a black shirt looking at Xiao Baicai. "Oh, what a coincidence, are you here to play like us?"

"Really? I always feel like something is not right." Lin Xixi still frowned and looked at the man again anxiously.

"I told you that you've read too many horror stories. You were still reading them in the car just now. You're too sensitive now, and everything seems like an enemy." Chen Qian was a little helpless. He pulled her forward a little and blocked the direction of the horror. "Don't you have anything you want to eat? I heard that Master Yu has already ordered five dishes. He really knows how to eat."

"I can eat anything. Master Yu and I like to eat almost the same thing. I just need to prepare my stomach. But I think, even if Master Yu asks for fifteen, Chef Sun will only say to him in a servile manner - hey." Lin Xixi whispered the second half of the sentence, and deliberately tilted her head to lean in Chen Qian's ear and said.

"The two at the back, go home after you finish your shopping and stop sneaking around there." Yu Wangxi called them from a distance.

"coming!"

"Okay."

The table was overflowing. Chen Qian placed the last dish in the newly vacated spot and returned to his own seat. He then pulled out his phone, took a few photos, both horizontally and vertically, and sent them out. Lin Xixi circled the table with her chopsticks, sending them out, while Yu Wangxi followed behind her with a bowl. Their repetitive movements and highly overlapping angles made them look like two butler robots.

"I didn't expect that Chef Sun's cooking skills are better than my aunt's." Yu Wangxi held his small bowl and stuffed mouthful after mouthful into his mouth, with a bulge on each side of his cheeks, like a hamster.

"No matter how good it is, you should eat slowly and take small bites. Drink some soup first to smooth things over..." Sun Cheng was sitting on his right. He didn't look happy at the praise, but rather looked quite nervous. He was really afraid that Yu Wangxi would eat so much that he would accidentally choke.

"You don't have to pick food for me. You eat first." Ke Wu looked at the mountain of food in his bowl, his heart sank. Seeing the chopsticks holding a shrimp ball reaching out again, he had to block his bowl and persuade Qi Yu helplessly.

"You eat slowly, I'm just worried that you won't get enough to eat. Look at how delicious Senior Xi's meal is. If you can be like him, I won't worry about you." Qi Yu saw that the bowl was covered by Ke Wu's hand, but he didn't plan to give up. He turned his hand and sent the shrimp ball to Ke Wu's mouth and poked it twice. Only when he saw Ke Wu open his mouth to take it did he eat his own contentedly.

"It's better not to act like that. He's not even eating." Sun Cheng heard Qi Yu's words, turned around and looked at Yu Wangxi who was still stuffing his food. He sighed and filled his bowl again. "But that's okay. Maybe you'll grow taller if you eat more."

"What do you mean? Am I short? I'm at least 1.8 meters tall, okay?" Yu Wangxi had just swallowed the food in his mouth and sat up straight when he heard this.

"You rounded up 176 too?" Sun Cheng laughed and revealed Yu Wangxi's secret.

Yu Wangxi slapped him under the table and said angrily, "I will never go to a physical examination with you again. 186cm is amazing, we are only ten centimeters apart!"
