"Lin Bai." Gu Yanzhu called out Lin Bai's name in a cold voice as she watched this scene.

"Ah! Yes." Lin Bai shuddered, answered, and then turned away from Gu Yanzhu.

At this point, he decided to stay away from Gu, otherwise he would definitely be finished.

Knowing his place perfectly, Lin Bai swiftly moved and stood next to Wang Yuejiao in the blink of an eye, even offering a few words of agreement.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yanzhu laughed instead of getting angry.

"By the way, when are we leaving? I really want to see what Kyoto is like!" Wang Yuejiao's face showed a hint of longing when she mentioned Kyoto.

The farthest she had ever been in her life was a county town; she had only ever heard about places like Kyoto from others.

She longed for bustling cities because they could broaden her horizons and increase her knowledge.

"Hmm... three days from now! I'll take these two days to tidy up at home so I won't be in a rush then." Gu Yanzhu thought for a moment and then slowly spoke.

Three days is enough time to handle things at the brigade level.

"So fast? I thought it was going to be a clandestine operation!" Wang Yuejiao said in surprise.

"It's alright, Jiaojiao. If you need anything, I'll stay with you. Let Ayan and the others go first." Lin Bai looked at Wang Yuejiao, and Weiwei thought for a moment.

He guessed that Wang Yuejiao was reluctant to leave her parents and wanted to spend more time with them.

Jiang Anxia simply stood aside and watched quietly, without saying a word. She wouldn't get involved.

In her opinion, three days was still a bit long, and if possible, she really wanted to leave tomorrow.

"No need, I want to go with Xiaxia." Wang Yuejiao shook her head, refusing Lin Bai's suggestion.

She was still very willing to be with Xiaxia; if Lin Bai were alone, the journey would definitely be much more boring.

"Fine!" Lin Bai shrugged, having no choice but to compromise.

Jiang Anxia chuckled, "Jiaojiao, remember to tell your aunt when you get home!"

"Yes, I will." Wang Yuejiao nodded affirmatively.

Wang Yuejiao silently vowed to herself that she would. She also planned to spend more time with her elderly mother these next few days.

After all, once she leaves, she can only come back during holidays.

"Come on, have some snacks." Lin Bai ran into the house at some point and brought out a basket of snacks.

"Why are there so many? I remember you guys don't eat this much." Wang Yuejiao looked at the basket of snacks with some surprise.

If her memory serves her right, these two don't seem to be people who like to eat snacks!

“We don’t like to eat it, but you guys do!” Lin Bai grinned, his voice clear and bright.

"Sit down and eat quietly! I'll go pack my things." Gu Yanzhu pressed the little girl down into a chair and gently rubbed her head.

"Mmm." Jiang Anxia nodded, giving Gu Yanzhu a soft and sweet smile.

"Then I'll go too, you can eat slowly." Lin Bai left reluctantly.

He and Wang Yuejiao already had very little time together, and now that they were finally together, they still had to do other things. Just thinking about it made Lin Bai want to vomit.

Forget it, he decided not to think about it anymore; the more he thought about it, the sadder he became. To make himself feel better, he decided not to think about anything at all.

"Xiaxia, where will we stay in Kyoto? I never imagined I would go to Kyoto!" Wang Yuejiao looked at Jiang Anxia with a mixture of worry and anticipation.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here! Do you think I'd leave you homeless?" Jiang Anxia chuckled, her voice filled with comfort.

"I'm just a little worried," Wang Yuejiao sighed softly.

She didn't know why, but she would have random thoughts in her mind, making herself anxious.

"Okay, stop thinking like that. We're here for you!" Jiang Anxia leaned down slightly and gently stroked Wang Yuejiao's hair with her right hand.

"Mm." Wang Yuejiao nodded. After saying what she had been holding in her heart, she immediately felt relieved.

"Here, try this, it's quite delicious." Jiang Anxia held a peach shortbread in her hand and looked at Wang Yuejiao with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaxia." Wang Yuejiao smiled and reached out to take it.

On a quiet morning, in a small courtyard, two little girls sat chatting happily, while inside the house, two grown men were tidying up their belongings.

Gu Yanzhu looked at the canned fruit in her hand and sighed softly.

He bought this canned food a month ago and put it in the closet. He had completely forgotten about it. If he hadn't found it while tidying up today, he doesn't know how long it would have been sitting there.

"Hmm, that's almost done." Lin Bai stretched and swayed as he walked into Gu Yanzhu's room.

"All done?" Gu Yanzhu didn't even turn her head, continuing what she was doing.

He wasn't as leisurely as Lin Bai. After packing his own things, he still had to go to town to pack for the little girl.

"Oh dear! There's still time! We can make it." Lin Bai muttered under his breath, pouting.

Hearing this, Gu Yanzhu finally turned around and glanced at Lin Bai, but he didn't say anything.

"Xiaxia, what do you want to eat for lunch?" Gu Yanzhu glanced at his watch and saw that it was almost noon. He then walked out.

"Anything is fine, I'll eat whatever's available." Jiang Anxia propped her head up with her right hand, thinking to herself.

She didn't seem to have any particular appetite, mainly because Gu Yanzhu's cooking was delicious, and she could always eat a lot of it.

"Alright, I'll see. And what about Comrade Wang?" Gu Yanzhu nodded slightly when she heard the girl say that.

"Me, I'm the same as Xiaxia." Wang Yuejiao was shocked; this was the first time Gu Yanzhu had asked her what she wanted to eat.

"Okay, you can play a little longer, but you can't eat snacks, otherwise you won't be able to eat your meal later." Hearing Wang Yuejiao's answer, Gu Yanzhu gave a soft "hmm" and then began to instruct the little girl.

"I know! I'm not a child anymore," Jiang Anxia pouted, retorting with dissatisfaction.

Seriously, Ayan treats her like a child!

"I know, she's not a little kid. I'll go cook now." Gu Yanzhu smiled, reached out and patted the little girl's head before slowly leaving.

…………

"Sure enough, I'm still better off lying down," Jiang Anxia muttered softly as she lay on the bed.

It turned out that not long after lunch, Jiang Anxia told Gu Yanzhu and the others, and rode her bicycle home.

With her mind blank, Jiang Anxia fell asleep in no time.

When Jiang Anxia woke up again, she looked out the window.

There was only a sliver of light left outside. I looked up at my wrist and saw that it was already past seven o'clock.

Touching her stomach, Jiang Anxia sighed helplessly, "I'm hungry!"

After lingering for a few more minutes, Jiang Anxia resigned herself to getting up and going to cook.
