A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

Jiang Yi said this very calmly, unlike her usual self. Chi Ruiche was stunned. Since he proposed breaking up that night, the two of them had not spoken again. He hadn't even given her a reason. Now, what right did he have to make arrangements for her?

"Big brother, I'm fine. We've been out for a long time. Your girlfriend will be jealous if we don't go in." Jiang Yi walked away without looking back. Chi Ruiche watched her back, so stubborn.

As soon as Jiang Yi entered, Chi Ruiche changed his expression. "Grandpa, everything's arranged. Your favorite play will be at the Qiufeng Theater at 3 PM." Chi Ruiche had made the arrangements long ago, fulfilling one of his grandfather's wishes. The Qiufeng Theater is a Peking Opera theater. Nowadays, young people prefer movies, forcing many theaters to close. The Qiufeng Theater, however, is a gem in the process of modernization, hosting three performances a week, all of which are sold out. Box seats are extremely difficult to book, and Chi Ruiche had reserved a box with a stunning view.

"Haha, Xiao Che really understands me. Is it that 'Changbanpo'?" Both Grandpa Chi and Grandpa Jiang are Peking Opera fans, especially those from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Chi Ruiche remained silent and sat next to Jiang Yi. His grandfather had indeed been right; it just so happened that they were performing this play today.

Zheng Zihan glanced at Jiang Yi, then at Chi Ruiche. Everyone said the two had a very good relationship, and Chi Ruiche doted on Jiang Yi, but in these two encounters, the two hadn't spoken at all.

Because of Peking Opera, Grandpa Chi once again opened up and talked endlessly about Peking Opera, saying that there was a master who had this play as his specialty, and that his fight scenes were exceptional. Chi Xinghua immediately remembered and asked if it was the year he had seen it. The back and forth became more and more excited, and he almost started to demonstrate, completely disregarding the fact that there were people present.

Chi's mother finished eating quickly and took Zheng Zihan to her room, saying she had something for Zheng Zihan to take to her mother. Zheng Zihan said hello before leaving the table.

The three of them were left sitting awkwardly. Jiang Yang picked up a piece of rice cake for Jiang Yi, who took a bite and put it in her bowl. Chi Ruiche naturally picked it up from his bowl and ate it. Jiang Yi glared at him but didn't say anything.

"You kids go find some entertainment first. We still have a good chat. Don't worry about us, just don't forget to go to the theater." Grandpa Jiang's face was flushed from drinking a little. He was the only one of the three elders who still remembered the younger generation.

"Okay. Please enjoy your meal." Jiang Yang and the others stood up, arranged the chairs neatly, and left. "Xiao Yi, you go back first. Come pick up Grandpa later."

Chi Ruiche saw them out the door. Youjun had already driven over to pick them up. "Grandpa hasn't left yet. Take Xiao Yi home first and then come over. I'll stay here."

Grandpa Jiang's bodyguard, Youjun, stood by the car the whole time. Following Jiang Yang's instructions, he opened the car door, and Jiang Yi got in without saying when. Youjun nodded and drove away from the Chi family.

"Xiao Che, let's talk." Jiang Yang saw that there was still time and Zheng Zihan wouldn't be coming for a while, so the two sat on the rattan chairs in the yard, and Chi Ruiche took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Looking at his expression, Jiang Yang could tell he was reluctant to part with Jiang Yi. "Is there something you're struggling with?"

Chi Ruiche exhaled smoke. "I didn't think this through. Since that's the case, we have to stop now. I'm sorry to her."

"You think you can solve this with just 'I didn't think it through'? Look at her, she's been listless these past few days. You shouldn't have given her hope only to shatter it yourself." Jiang Yang felt indignant on Jiang Yi's behalf. That silly girl was so stubborn. Time heals all wounds for others, but for her, it was like wine that only got heavier with age. "I can see you can't bear to part with her. If that's the case, what can't you overcome? You're Chi Ruiche, there's nothing you can't do. Why are you so confused about this?"
