"Ruan Ruan, you rest for a bit, I'll go get you some hot water," Huo Haocheng said, taking a kettle out of his bag. Then he turned to Gu Jinghe and said, "You stay here and protect Ruan Ruan, I'll be right back."

"No, I'll go instead. You... stay here." Gu Jinghe took the water bottle from Huo Haocheng's hand, took his own water bottle from his bag, turned around and walked out. From the moment he got into the car, Ruan Ruan's gaze towards him was strange, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. He guessed that nothing good was going on, and he didn't want to be alone with her.

After Gu Jinghe left, Huo Haocheng sat down next to Ruan Ruan and asked, "Is there anything you want to say to him?" He had also noticed Ruan Ruan's expression, which was why he said he was going to fetch water to give the siblings some space.

"I just wanted to ask him how things are going with that girl." It wasn't anything much, really; they were going to be on a train for three days and three nights, and Ruan Ruan wanted something to do. The only thing the three of them could talk about was Gu Jinghe, and that girl was all they could talk about with him.

"You're very interested in her?" This was the question Ruan Ruan wanted to ask, not the one Huo Haocheng had actually asked.

"I'm just bored, we have to talk about something, but we can't talk about us, so we can only talk about him. And of all the people I'm curious about about him, it's this girl."

"So, you're just using him for amusement?" Huo Haocheng hadn't expected Ruan Ruan to give such an answer.

"It's not just for fun. I mainly want to learn more. I've heard that there are many ethnic minorities in Yuncheng, and I'm worried that if we meet, I might not understand them and offend their taboos, which would be bad."

I'd heard a lot about things to be careful about when traveling in Yunnan, especially that you shouldn't sit on the stools next to Dai girls, because if you do, you'll be kept as a son-in-law. I wonder if that's true? I really want to see it for myself!

"There are many ethnic minorities in Yuncheng, and each ethnic group has its own unique culture. If you see a child's head, don't touch it. If they invite you to their home, you can't go into the bedroom; you can only stay in the living room or the yard."

You also can't talk about beating or killing dogs in front of them, and you absolutely can't eat dog meat. Some people don't eat pork either. There are all sorts of taboos, but you don't need to worry about any of that. Once you get there, just follow your own habits. We'll just avoid contact with people who are too troublesome.”

"Actually, I'm quite interested in them, especially their clothing, like the dress you brought back, it's so beautiful."

"If you like it, I'll take you to see the old lady to make it later."

"good"

Next, Huo Haocheng told Ruan Ruan about the fun things to do and the delicious food to eat in Yuncheng.

"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Gu Jinghe went out to fetch water and returned more than ten minutes later. As soon as he came back, he heard them laughing happily.

"Are you talking about you and that girl? How's it going? Are you going to propose when you get back?" Ruan Ruan's gossipy nature is really...

"She told me to go back and pursue her properly for two days." Gu Jinghe handed the water bottle to Huo Haocheng, then plopped down on the bed opposite him, somewhat confused.

"Tell me, I've already told her I like her, so why does she still want me to pursue her?" Gu Jinghe asked.

"Why do you care so much? Just go for it! Stop talking nonsense!" At this moment, Ruan Ruan admired the young lady. She dared to love and hate and knew exactly what she wanted. Gu Jinghe, this little white rabbit in love, could not escape the palm of her big bad wolf.

"When you get back, give her the gift you brought, then go on a date, watch a movie, and repeat how that girl pursued you before." Ruan Ruan was looking forward to meeting her in person.

Listening to Ruan Ruan's words, Gu Jinghe felt that she had said something, but also felt that she hadn't. Confused, he shifted his gaze to Huo Haocheng.

"Why are you looking at me? Just do what I tell you to do. A good man should listen to his wife." Huo Haocheng didn't know how to pursue her, but he just acted on his instincts to be nice to Ruan Ruan.

"How did you two get together?" When someone in the family area started introducing Huo Haocheng, he said that he had a fiancée in his hometown and sent his salary back home on time every month. Occasionally, he would also send back some little girl's things. At first, they all thought that Huo Haocheng might have gotten married and had children in his hometown, since many people in the countryside get married early.

"That's how we got together!" Ruan Ruan spread her hands as if it were a matter of course, as if to say, Huo Haocheng was always mine!

Huo Haocheng looked at Ruan Ruan's expression and nodded indulgently.

"Our experiences aren't right for you. You should just pursue your wife slowly, according to her requirements!"

Why is it inappropriate?

"Do you understand the concept of raising a child?" Ruan Ruan looked at Gu Jinghe's bewildered expression and was too lazy to explain to him. Anyway, he couldn't raise a wife from childhood, but he could start raising her now.

"Give all your money to your wife so she can buy whatever she likes, eat whatever she wants, and wear whatever she wants. She doesn't need to envy others because you've made sure she has everything they have," Ruan Ruan said confidently to Gu Jinghe.

"I understand. I used to keep my salary with my mom. I'll take it all and give it to her when I go back."
