As the sun set, the evening glow spread across the western sky like a magnificent ribbon. Su Wanqing rose to say goodbye: "Uncle, Aunt, it's getting late, I should go home. Thank you for your warm hospitality today, I had a very happy time."

Lin Wanqiu quickly said, "Miss Wanqing, please sit a little longer and have dinner before you leave."

"No, Auntie, my father is still waiting for me at home," Su Wanqing said with a smile. "I'll come to see you again next time I have the chance."

Shen Nian'an said, "Mother, I'll take Wanqing back."

"Okay, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety," Lin Wanqiu instructed, then turned to Su Wanqing and said, "Miss Wanqing, come visit often when you have time. This will always be your home."

"Thank you, Auntie, I will." Su Wanqing nodded, her eyes full of gratitude.

Shen Nian'an rode his bicycle, taking Su Wanqing with him on the way back. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, casting long, long shadows of the two of them.

"Thank you so much for taking me home to meet your parents and sister today," Su Wanqing said softly, her voice full of joy. "Your family is very kind, and I like them very much."

“I’m so happy that you get along so well with my family,” Shen Nian’an said with a smile, turning her head to look at Su Wanqing with tender eyes. “Wanqing, meeting you is the greatest luck of my life. I hope we can continue to be happy like this and build our own little family in the future.”

Su Wanqing's cheeks flushed as she leaned gently against Shen Nian'an's back, her voice tender yet firm: "Nian'an, me too. I'm willing to work with you to nurture our relationship and protect our family."

The bicycle moved slowly along the country road, its wheels crunching over fallen leaves, leaving a trail of happiness. In the distance, the rice paddies shimmered golden in the setting sun, like a golden sea. The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus and the rich aroma of grains, weaving together a hymn of happiness.

Feeling Su Wanqing's warm body behind him, Shen Nian'an's heart was filled with anticipation for the future. He knew this was just the beginning of happiness. In the days to come, he and Su Wanqing would support each other and work together, not only to nurture their relationship but also to contribute to the development of the food factory. His younger sister, Shen Nianxi, would also go further and further on her dance journey, realizing her dreams and bringing more glory and joy to their family.

As the sun gradually set and night slowly fell, Shen Nian'an escorted Su Wanqing back to her home in the provincial capital, bidding her a reluctant farewell. Standing under the streetlights, watching Su Wanqing's figure disappear into the stairwell, Shen Nian'an's heart was filled with sweetness and anticipation. He knew that their next meeting wouldn't be too far off, and that their happiness, like the fruits of autumn, would grow ever more abundant and sweeter.
