Especially Zhou Yun, who had long considered He Lingxiu to be Ling Zhenfei's girlfriend, so she treated He Lingxiu very well.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's perfect that you're here. If you hadn't co, I would've called you."
"Is there sothing going on, Brother Afei?" He Lingxiu asked.
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's not anything special. Tomorrow morning, I'm taking you to Binyang to take over our hospital."
He Lingxiu replied, "I ca for that reason as well. Is there anything else I should prepare?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "What else do you need to prepare? You're very mature now and can handle things on your own. If I lack ti in the future, you will be the one to rely on for this hospital."
He Lingxiu said solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Afei, I will definitely do a good job."
At this mont, Zhou Yun called for He Lingxiu to serve the dishes, and soon the food was on the table.
The four of them ate together, chatting and laughing, feeling very happy.
After the al, they sat for a little while; then He Lingxiu was ready to go back, and Zhou Yun asked Ling Zhenfei to escort He Lingxiu.
Nowadays, Qinghe Village is not the sa as before; there are street lamps along the roads, but Zhou Yun still asked Ling Zhenfei to accompany He Lingxiu, so Ling Zhenfei went to see her off.
They walked together on the road by the beautiful Fairy Lake, the breeze was a bit chilly.
But now the wind was a spring breeze, carrying a hint of winter chill as well as a touch of spring warmth.
He Lingxiu was very happy and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Ti flies so fast; we used to catch fish at Fairy Lake, and now we've grown up."
Ling Zhenfei looked at He Lingxiu, once a little girl following him around, now she had beco gracefully mature.
He Lingxiu had seen many changes during her ti traveling and healing, and she was indeed quite different from before.
In the past, He Lingxiu was too simple; now she had changed, at least in terms of temperant.
She possessed the pure innocence of a rural girl and the fashion-forward style of a modern girl.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Indeed, the world changes quickly, and people slowly grow up."
He Lingxiu asked, "Brother Afei, don't you feel you're really busy nowadays?"
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback and asked, "Am I?"
He Lingxiu said, "Of course, I have been following you all along, and it feels like I haven't seen you in a long ti. I feel you should spend more ti with your wife; managing such a big company on her own is really tiring."
Suddenly, Ling Zhenfei realized why Zhou Yun had changed this ti; maybe it was because she felt too lonely in the village.
Ling Zhenfei thought that perhaps he should spend more ti with Zhou Yun and not run around everywhere.
The roads in Qinghe Village were very smooth and bright, but when they reached the village, the street lamps weren't as bright as in Xishan Manor. Ling Zhenfei had paved the roads in the village, but they still weren't bright enough.
Ling Zhenfei held He Lingxiu's hand, fearing she might trip.
They chatted while walking back, and He Lingxiu seed very happy. Ling Zhenfei also felt very comfortable, realizing he hadn't felt such comfort in a long ti.
In truth, life is very simple; walking hand in hand with soone you like on a rural path, sharing laughter and smiles, might be the most beautiful thing.
Soon they reached He Lingxiu's doorstep, both lingering as if reluctant to part.
He Lingxiu looked at Ling Zhenfei, hesitated a little, and then said, "Brother Afei, can you kiss ?"
Ling Zhenfei felt like laughing after hearing her; although He Lingxiu had seen so of the world, she was still a rural girl at heart, shy about such things.
But Ling Zhenfei was different. He pulled He Lingxiu into his embrace and gave her a long, deep kiss.
After a long while, they heard footsteps, and Ling Zhenfei let He Lingxiu go.
He Lingxiu gasped, saying bashfully, "Brother Afei, you suffocated ."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "Did you like it?"
He Lingxiu nodded bashfully.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Glad you liked it."
At this point, they heard voices coming from the yard.
He Lingxiu said, "Brother Afei, my father is calling . I'll head inside."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Go ahead, I'll co to get you tomorrow."
They parted ways, with Ling Zhenfei heading to his own ho.
On the way back, while reminiscing about the pleasant monts earlier, Ling Zhenfei suddenly noticed sothing moving on a rooftop not far away.
Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped a beat, wondering what a thief was doing here at this hour. But regardless, he imdiately gave chase.
It's unclear if the person knew he was being pursued, but suddenly his speed increased, leaping and bounding in an impressive manner.
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; could thieves nowadays be this skilled?
But Ling Zhenfei's speed was even quicker, deploying the Blooming Step Technique and, inford by his knowledge of the village's layout, quickly caught up to the person.
Then he was surprised to see this person suddenly make a loop and head back, arriving at Ling Zhenfei's old house.
Ling Zhenfei quietly followed, intending not to be detected, hidden in the shadows to see what the person was up to.
This person arrived at Ling Zhenfei's old ho and looked around, seemingly searching for sothing.
Just then, another figure appeared from the distance, swiftly approaching.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, realizing they were a gang, though still unsure what they intended.
This figure reached the first one, and the two figures gathered together.
"Did anyone see you?"
"No, I drifted around several tis and lost anyone who might have seen ."
One person pointed to the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree in the yard and asked, "Is it this tree?"
The other person nodded, "Judging by how it's grown, it should be right."
Ling Zhenfei's heart skipped; he hadn't expected these two to covet his Heart-Talk Fruit Tree.
In the outside world, the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree is considered incredibly valuable, and they say Xishan Manor has special protection for this tree, with guards living in Ling Zhenfei's old house.
But these guards could only respond once soone tried to harm the tree; they weren't equipped to deal with high-level thieves like these.
Ling Zhenfei was curious about what these thieves were aiming to do, and at this ti, there were no fruits on the Heart-Talk Fruit Tree.
Then one of them said, "Alright, let's get started."
"Hold on, there's soone inside the house. Let put them to sleep first."
He then climbed into the yard, with Ling Zhenfei knowing the guards inside were unaware.
After a while, he returned and said to the other, "All set, let's start."
Ling Zhenfei was confused about their intentions, observing them from the rooftop, then watched them fetch a shovel and hamr from the yard.
