Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

"Su Yang, who is that person?" Lin Anlan asked as the two hurried along the way.

"I don't know. I didn't sense him in the city, but after we left the city gate, this person has been following us." Su Yang also sensed his presence through the detection radar, so he deliberately changed direction and walked into the woods. He quickly changed direction and rushed back after losing him.

“However, I suspect it might be related to the casino,” Su Yang added.

"The casino? That's outrageous! They even sent people to follow us. They probably want to find where we're staying so they can ambush us." Lin Anlan agreed with Su Yang's guess. After all, the two of them didn't have any enemies in the royal city. If they had to say they had a grudge, it would definitely be against the casino's owner. Therefore, the casino was the most suspicious.

The man who had been following Su Yang and his companion walked through the woods for a long time without seeing them. Only then did he realize that he had lost them and had no choice but to return to the capital to report back.

Su Yang and Lin Anlan returned safely to Luoyin Farm. They had been running around all day, carrying a lot of things out and back. Su Yang was exhausted. He put the basket on the ground and collapsed onto the sofa without moving. Lin Anlan knew he was tired, so she gently walked behind him and put her hands on his shoulders to massage them and help him relax. But as soon as she put her hands on his shoulders, Su Yang stood up as if by reflex and stammered, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook."

"It's not even dark yet, are we going to cook already?" Lin Anlan's hand froze in mid-air. She turned to look out the window and saw that the sun hadn't set yet, and the sky was ablaze with red clouds.

Su Yang turned to look out the window, then chuckled awkwardly, "Hehe, I think it's almost time outside. I'll go get ready. Could you please help me organize the things I bought?" With that, Su Yang headed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

As the sun set, the temperature dropped even lower. Even though the room was covered with a layer of cotton for insulation, it was still cold. After dinner, Su Yang took the meat outside, put it in a basket, and hung it under the eaves, waiting for the nighttime temperature to freeze the meat before putting it in the cellar.

Back inside, it felt much warmer than outside, but still a bit cold. They stuffed a lot of wood into the fireplace, lit it, and then Su Yang and Lin Anlan gathered around it to warm themselves, drinking hot tea and chatting.

"Su Yang, tell me more about your world. What other interesting things are there?" Ever since Su Yang talked to her about the Spring Festival, Lin Anlan has been full of curiosity about Su Yang's world.

"Something interesting? What aspects do you want to know?" Su Yang asked, holding a cup of hot tea, wisps of steam rising from it.

"Hmm... I'd like to know how many countries there are in the world where you are?" Lin Anlan thought for a moment and decided to start by asking about countries and then gradually narrow down the scope.

"I don't really know the number of countries, but there must be at least a hundred." Su Yang thought for a moment and concluded that there should be at least a hundred.

"One hundred?! That's so many! Does that mean all these countries are very small?"

"Some countries are quite small, but some countries are very large."

"How big is it?" Lin Anlan pressed.

"Let me put it this way. For example, in my country, it would probably take five or six hours to fly from the northernmost point to the southernmost point, and the speed of that flight would be faster than my flight speed," Su Yang said with a hint of pride.

Wow! Your country is really big. Are there wars there?

"It happened a few decades earlier, but I have lived in peaceful times since I was born."

"Do you have orcs and demons where you live?"

"No, there are only people with different skin colors, unlike the Dragon Continent which has many different races," Su Yang answered truthfully.

The two chatted for a long time, from race to hometown, from daily life to clothing, food, housing and transportation. As Lin Anlan listened to Su Yang's story, she became more and more eager to explore Su Yang's world.

"If I have the chance, I really want to go and see it!" Lin Anlan leaned back in her chair, holding the little stone flower in her arms, and sighed.

"There should be a chance, right?" Su Yang said uncertainly, patting the little orange cat perched on his head.

"Really? If there's a way back, you'd choose to go back, right?" Lin Anlan asked, looking into Su Yang's eyes.

"Hmm... If there's a way back, I think I'd go back. After all, that's where I was born. We believe in returning to one's roots, and there probably aren't many like Senior Gu Wushuang who would be willing to stay in this world until the end." Su Yang thought carefully and answered definitively.

"Oh, I see..." Lin Anlan seemed a little disappointed, but quickly added cheerfully, "Then you'll have to take me with you then."

"Okay, I definitely will."

The fire in the fireplace gradually dimmed, and the few remaining sparks slowly died out. Both of them had returned to their rooms to rest. Su Yang lay on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, and thought to himself, "Is there really a way back? If there is, even someone as powerful as Gu Wushuang couldn't find it in his entire life. How could I possibly find it?"

The next day at dawn, Su Yang sat up in bed, yawned, threw off the covers and shivered as he dressed. He went downstairs to relight the fireplace and sat for a while before warming up. Then he went to the kitchen to start working. Lin Anlan came downstairs after Su Yang had finished breakfast, still looking sleepy.

After exchanging greetings, Su Yang gestured for Lin Anlan to have breakfast, while he went outside, took down the basket hanging under the eaves, and touched it. The meat he had bought yesterday was completely frozen. The freezing effect was even better than a refrigerator. No wonder people in the north used to put vegetables directly in the cellar during winter. It seems to be comparable to a refrigerator.

Thinking this, Su Yang took the meat to the cellar, felt the temperature inside, which was very cold, and checked the vegetables that had been stored there before. There were no signs of spoilage, so he put the meat in there with peace of mind.

After climbing out of the cellar, Su Yang prepared to make a calligraphy brush. He went to the place where the three Icewing Dogs were sleeping. Without even looking carefully, he could see a lot of their shed fur. He collected a handful, went to the stream, broke the ice, washed the fur with water, and took a piece of wood and a machete. He then went to the wooden platform by the stream and began to make his own calligraphy brush.

After slowly shaving the wood into a suitable size, he drilled a hole at one end and carefully stuffed a handful of washed animal hair into it. He managed to stuff it in, but he couldn't secure it, and there was no glue to use. After thinking for a moment, Su Yang came up with a solution. He put down the half-finished pen in his hand and went back into the house.

When he came out again after a while, he had a bowl in his hand, filled with a white substance. It turned out that he had mixed flour with water to make a paste-like substance. After adjusting it to the right consistency, he dripped it into the hole, stuffed the animal hair inside, and waited for it to dry. He only used it once a year, as long as it could be used to write.

Then Su Yang picked up a hoe and carried a basket to the farmland, where he loosened the soil and removed weeds while harvesting vegetables. As the sun rose higher, Lin Anlan came outside and sat on the wooden platform to bask in the sun. Su Yang was carrying a basket of vegetables back when he heard a loud knocking on the farm gate, followed by a soft knocking.

The sudden noise shattered the peaceful beauty of the winter morning. Especially after hearing such a rough knocking, Lin Anlan got up and went to open the door in a bad mood, about to start cursing. As soon as the door opened, she saw Lena standing in front of her, smiling and greeting her. Behind her stood Bo'an Xiu.

Bo An was also surprised to see Lin Anlan. He didn't expect that the person who had caused such a ruckus at his casino yesterday would be living here and even know Lena. Su Yang also came over at this time. He was quite happy to see Lena, but when he saw Bo An, he was also a little surprised. For a moment, he even wondered if Lena had brought him here to cause trouble.

But standing there like that wasn't a solution, so Su Yang and Lin Anlan invited Lena and the others in and asked them to sit down. After they were seated, Lena introduced them and they learned that the owner of the casino yesterday was the man in front of them named Bo An Xiu, and they understood why Bo An had come with Lena.

Earlier, Bo'an had given Lena a concert ticket, intending to invite her to go with him. The date was today, so Bo'an went to the Duke of Litt's mansion early this morning to confirm Lena's wishes again. Unexpectedly, Lena agreed immediately and even told the Duke of Litt about it, which made Bo'an very happy. The Duke of Litt also agreed to let Lena go out today.

Unexpectedly, after leaving the house, Lena said that she had to visit a friend and might not be able to attend the concert that evening. This hurt Bo'an deeply. In order to get Lena to go with him, he shamelessly insisted on taking her home so that he would have another chance to invite her. Lena couldn't refuse, which led to the scene that happened this morning.

Bo'an followed her to the farm gate. Looking at the somewhat shabby farm, he thought that Lena could not possibly have such poor friends. It must be just a coincidence that she knew someone. He wanted to show off in front of Lena, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door rudely. However, Lena angrily stopped him and accused him of being too rude to her friend. Only then did Lena knock on the door politely.

Bo An was also somewhat uneasy. The two men in front of him had caused trouble in his casino just yesterday. Running a private casino was not allowed in the royal city, especially by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led by Duke Litt. Since casinos neither paid taxes nor were legal, the Ministry of Internal Affairs wanted to destroy them as much as possible. If these two men exposed this, it would be a minor matter whether he was punished or not. If it had a negative impact on Duke Litt and Lena, he would basically have no chance with Lena. Therefore, he was very polite when chatting with Su Yang and the others.

Su Yang was also somewhat wary of Bo An. It seemed that he had a good relationship with Lena and was probably a nobleman who also ran a casino. He could be said to have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. Su Yang had probably angered him yesterday, and now that Bo An had accidentally found out where he lived, he didn't know how Bo An would deal with him in the future. Therefore, Su Yang was being careful with his words.

The scene was filled with joy and laughter, as if old friends had not seen each other for many years, chatting intimately yet somewhat distantly.

Bo'an felt much relieved to see that Su Yang didn't mention yesterday's events at all. However, Su Yang felt uneasy when Bo'an didn't bring up yesterday's events. If he had just spoken up and apologized, he would have felt more at ease. But if he didn't mention it at all now, he was afraid that he would face even fiercer retaliation in the future.

Lena was completely oblivious to the two men's inner thoughts, chatting happily to herself, sometimes covering her mouth with a smile, sometimes patting Su Yang's shoulder, appearing very close. All of this was observed by Bo'an, and his jealousy instantly flared up. When Lena was with him, she was always polite and distant, so why was she laughing and joking around with this commoner? Yet, he still maintained a polite smile on his face.

After chatting for a while, Lena suggested having lunch there and praised Su Yang to Bo An, saying, "Su Yang's cooking skills are simply amazing. And yesterday when he came to my house, he brought me some homemade jerky. I tried some last night, and it really has a unique flavor."

"Hehehe, Miss Lena, you flatter me." Su Yang said somewhat awkwardly, but inwardly he was thinking, "My dear lady, it's no wonder you don't know. He's obviously interested in you, and you're praising me like this in front of him. Aren't you just pushing me into a pit?"

“I’m telling the truth. Then I’ll stay here for lunch and let you prove your cooking skills.” After hearing Su Yang’s words, Lena thought he thought she was praising him, so she immediately retorted and demanded that Su Yang prove his cooking skills.

Su Yang could only remain silent in embarrassment. Lin Anlan then spoke up, "It's no problem for you two to stay for dinner, but is there anything else you need?" As she spoke, she looked at Bo An.

Bo'an immediately chimed in, "Yes, Lena, let's not bother others. Why don't we go back to the city? I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Corina seemed to have gotten angry and stubbornly said, "Nothing's wrong. I came here today because of the food Su Yang made. I'm not only going to eat here for lunch, but I'm also going to stay here tonight. Thank you so much, Su Yang and An Lan~", and then patted Su Yang on the shoulder.

When Bo An heard Lena say that she would not only eat lunch here, but also stay here that night, and that this place was quite a distance from the royal city, it was obvious that she was refusing to go to the concert with him that night. His face gradually darkened, and he thought to himself, "It's one thing for you to cause a scene in my casino, but now you've even made my Lena have feelings for you. Even if Sigrid suspects that you are a sixth-tier elementalist, even if you really are a sixth-tier elementalist, I can still make sure you die a horrible death in the royal city!"

Lena got up and went to the door. She waved to the door, and the servants who were with her immediately came over. Lena instructed, "Go back first. Don't tell Father that I'm not going back tonight. If Father asks, just say that I went to Count Ottilia's house to spend the night."

Lena's words reached Bo'an's ears without missing a beat. Seeing that Lena had made up her mind to spend the night in this dilapidated farm, Bo'an's anger was almost uncontrollable. Since Lena was still there, he could only force himself to restrain himself, but he didn't want to stay a moment longer. After Lena sat down, he immediately stood up and said, "Lena, I think I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Lena, however, seemed completely unconcerned, simply saying, "Oh, alright, then you can go ahead and get busy, Master Xiu."

After hearing this, Bo'an bowed to Lena, glared fiercely at Su Yang, and immediately turned to leave. Reaching the farm gate, he glanced back at the wooden sign above it that read "Luoyin Farm," and said with a menacing look in his eyes:

"Just wait, I'll make sure you and your farm are wiped out in no time!"
