Fortunately, although he was drunk, he was still conscious. He obediently drank a cup of warm honey water and then went to sleep peacefully.

Grandma Wang also told Yunshu to take a nap. She said there was a bunk bed in her room, which would be just right for the three of them to sleep in, and then Yunshu could go to Xiaoze's room to rest.

Yun Shu agreed, but still tidied up the table before going to sleep.

Fortunately, it wasn't difficult to handle. Just remove the trash from the table, cover up the uneaten food, and wash the used dishes with some hot water. That was all.

After finishing all that, seeing that Xie Yicheng was sleeping quite peacefully, Yun Shu went into Xiao Ze's room and lay down for a while. She was still half asleep and didn't feel like she was sleeping soundly, but when she opened her eyes, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

When I pushed open the door, everyone else was already awake. Xie Yicheng was drinking tea and playing chess with Director Li on the balcony, while Xiao Ze watched from the side.

In the living room, Wanwan's godmother was cutting fruit for her. When she heard Yunshu come out, she quickly greeted her.

"Hey Xiao Shu, come and eat an apple! These are apples from Shandong, they're sweet and crisp, they're delicious!"

"Yes, sister, come quick! It's so delicious~"

Yun Shu rubbed her eyes and walked over, hugging the cheerful little girl in her arms. She was fragrant, soft, and very sturdy.

Wang Min wielded a fruit knife and sliced ​​two large apples into small pieces with a few toothpicks stuck in them. Yun Shu and Xiao Wan'er happily ate together, taking turns eating. Before long, only one of the three men on the balcony remained—Director Li.

Xie Yicheng felt embarrassed to leave his boss, colleague, and godfather-in-law behind. Fortunately, Xiao Ze gave him a reason and excuse. Using the excuse that the head of the family (Ms. Wang Min) wanted him to eat apples, Xie Yicheng decisively abandoned Director Li, who was about to corner him, and ran to Yun Shu's side.

Director Li was left behind, watching the chessboard where victory was within reach, feeling extremely resentful. His goodwill towards Xie Yicheng, this sore loser and cheater, plummeted instantly. However, he dared not defy Ms. Wang Min's authority, so he could only reluctantly come over to eat fruit with her.

However, this shows that Xie Yicheng's chess skills are indeed not very good, because Yun Shu has heard Pei Wenyuan curse and complain more than once that Xie Yicheng cheats and has no sportsmanship.

……

After eating some fruit, it was getting late. Although the days get longer after the New Year, it still wouldn't last until six o'clock. Besides, Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng had a lot of things to take back with them.

Therefore, after Yun Shu fully regained her senses, the two of them went out to prepare to return to Fengsheng.

The little girl hadn't had enough time with her older sister and clung to Yun Shu's clothes, on the verge of tears, not wanting Yun Shu to leave. No one could persuade her otherwise. It wasn't until Yun Shu promised to bring her new toys and new hair ties that the little girl reluctantly let go and didn't cry on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

To avoid any further trouble, the two quickly ran away. The little girl leaned on the balcony and watched her sister leave, her eyes brimming with tears, which almost fell.

Behind them, Wang Min and her husband were also deeply moved, feeling that this goddaughter was indeed worthy of being the daughter of her best friend. She was so considerate and thoughtful, and her character was impeccable. Otherwise, their two children would not have liked this suddenly appearing older sister so much.

Moreover, they always bring them so many things during holidays. It seems the child has really grown up. I wonder if Huiwen from Beijing will be happy or disappointed when she finds out.

I'm happy that my daughter has grown up, but sad that I couldn't witness this moment in person, especially since I was so far away from her.

"Next time Huaiqian and Huiwen call, will you tell them about Xiao Xie?"

Director Li earnestly inquired about his wife's thoughts, after all, Yun Shu was Huai Qian and Hui Wen's daughter. It was precisely because the couple and Yun Shu's parents were extremely close friends who had shared a life-or-death bond that they felt comfortable leaving their daughter under their watchful eyes.

The girl is not even seventeen years old and she's already in a relationship. They've been dating for so long and haven't even exchanged letters with her. This is clearly not what friends should do.

Just thinking about it makes Director Li feel suffocated by the pressure. It's a feeling of betraying a friend, unfamiliar and complicated, that he finds hard to bear.

If Xie Yicheng hadn't been so outstanding, and hadn't been under his nose almost every day, he probably would have already lost his temper.

Wang Min knew what her husband was thinking, and to be honest, she felt the same way. However, after talking to Yun Shu, she felt less of that feeling.

As she got to know her, Yun Shu was not the kind of immature child she had imagined. On the contrary, this girl had her own way of dealing with people and situations.

Therefore, when she proposed a six-month probationary period, Wang Min hesitated for a moment but still agreed. Now, seeing her husband also struggling with the decision, she repeated what Yun Shu had told her before, which finally put Director Li at ease.

"So Xiao Shu plans to tell her parents herself?"

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have brought Xiao Xie here today."

“That works too. It’s better to say it sooner rather than later. Although many families can’t interfere with marriages and children, it’s different for Huaiqian and his wife.”

"Who knows, Huaiqian might suddenly show up one day? He dotes on his daughter even more than Huiwen does; he'll always want to personally check her out."

"It should."

……

The couple chatted for a few more minutes, then took their daughter, who was still perched on the windowsill, back to the living room.

Yun Shu and Xie Yicheng still couldn't get home before dark, so they could only ride their bicycles slowly with flashlights propped up on the handlebars.

Around six o'clock, they arrived at the educated youth settlement. Xie Yicheng helped Yunshu put her things away before returning home. The next day, after lunch, Yunshu delivered the gifts her godparents had brought to Xie Yicheng's family and then prepared to go to the county town to mail a letter to her parents.

Initially, Yun Shu thought that matters of dating couldn't be explained in a few words, and that letters might cause misunderstandings, so she decided to call. But the closer it got to today, the more timid Yun Shu became, after all, she didn't have a clear memory of her parents in this life.

There's no doubt that her parents and family care about and love her, but she's unsure what they think about her dating life.

If her parents get too emotional on the phone and she makes a mistake in her response, that would be bad. So it's better to write a letter first, be sincere and detailed, and also get a feel for her parents' attitude while saving on phone bills...

Yun Shu was a little embarrassed as she recounted her love story with Xie Yicheng in such detail.

But now is not the time to be shy or embarrassed. I watched helplessly as the post office staff sealed the letter, stamped it, sorted it, and put it into bags, ready to send it out tonight.

Yun Shu's heart felt like it had been put into a bag, unable to settle down anywhere, drifting away to who knows where.

Xie Yicheng, standing next to him, was no better off than him; in fact, she was even more nervous, and her gait was unsteady.

I wonder how much of a reaction this letter will cause.
