Su Huaiyue died suddenly from staying up late writing her thesis! Before she could even lament being a young genius envied by the heavens, she found herself transmigrated to a vast, boundless deser...
Madam Wei had a kind face and her eyes could not help but move back and forth between the two of them. "Che'er, it's a good thing for you and Zhiwan to go fishing. It's good for your health to go out with young people more often."
Wei Che looked around and only saw his third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law and Wei Yunrou, but no sign of Su Huaiyue.
"Huai..." He was about to speak, but realized that addressing her in front of his grandmother was a bit presumptuous. He was also afraid that his shameful thoughts would be exposed, so he asked instead, "Why are there only a few of you? Where's my second sister-in-law?"
Madam Wei smiled helplessly, "When did you start caring about Ni Feng?"
Wei Che was shocked, he almost forgot about this.
At this point, I can only lie, "I just saw that everyone was here, so I asked casually."
Madam Wei stopped teasing him and said, "Huaiyue took Nifeng out and said she would be back soon."
The Wei family's kitchen suddenly became lively, and the third and fourth sisters-in-law hurriedly prepared charcoal fire and seasonings.
Mrs. Wei was all smiles as she asked Jing Zhiwan to sit down. From time to time, she asked about the details of her and Wei Che's fishing trip, her words full of love for Jing Zhiwan.
Jing Zhiwan answered obediently, but her eyes looked at Wei Che from time to time, her eyes full of sweetness.
Wei Che sat aside, feeling a little annoyed.
He watched Jing Zhiwan and her grandmother chatting happily, and his already complicated mood became even heavier.
He thought about Su Huaiyue, wondering what she would feel when she saw this scene. He also thought about the matter of the shop and was filled with worry.
At this time, Su Huaiyue came back from outside with Wei Ersao. As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw this harmonious scene.
Su Huaiyue's smile froze on her face instantly. She didn't expect Jing Zhiwan to suddenly appear here and get along so well with the Wei family.
"You're back." Wei Che was the first to break the silence, with a hint of unnaturalness in his voice.
Su Huaiyue forced a smile: "Yeah, I just went to a few more shops, but didn't find anything. But Miss Jing came, but she didn't tell me in advance."
Jing Zhiwan stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Su, I'm sorry for being rude. I went fishing with Master Wei today and had a great catch, so I wanted to share this joy with everyone."
Madam Wei smiled and said, "Let's all have some fun together. Nifeng, go and help with the preparations."
After what happened last time, Mrs. Wei Er became much less talkative. Although she didn't like to work, she was much stronger than before.
Su Huaiyue also followed behind her: "Grandma, I will go to help too."
If she stayed at this time, wouldn't she be a bright bulb, and the atmosphere would be even more awkward. Obviously, it was quite harmonious when she didn't come in.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue's back, feeling mixed emotions. He wanted to follow her, but Jing Zhiwan stopped him: "Master Wei, tell me about that fun thing you saw at the market last time."
Wei Che had no choice but to sit down and speak perfunctorily, but his mind was not on this at all.
In the kitchen, Wei Yunrou came close to Su Huaiyue and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Don't you like Miss Jing coming?"
Su Huaiyue shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Jing is of noble status, it is our honor to have you here."
Wei San's wife also said: "Sister-in-law, I think Miss Jing seems to be interested in Wei Che, what do you think about this matter..."
Su Huaiyue paused for a moment, then returned to normal: "Wei Che will make the decision on his own, so we shouldn't interfere."
However, her heart was in turmoil, and she felt a little indescribable bitterness.
Soon, the fish was grilled and the aroma filled the entire yard.
Everyone sat together and began to enjoy this special dinner.
Jing Zhiwan kept picking up food for Wei Che, with a happy smile on her face. She felt that she was one step closer to Wei Che.
Wei Che just responded politely, occasionally looking at Su Huaiyue, but found that she always kept her head down, eating silently, as if deliberately avoiding his gaze.
After dinner, Su Huaiyue volunteered to clean up the dishes. She wanted to keep herself busy so that she could forget her worries.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue's busy figure and felt guilty. He wanted to help, but Jing Zhiwan pulled him aside to chat and he couldn't get away.
After cleaning up the dishes, it was already completely dark.
Jing Zhiwan stood up to say goodbye, and Wei Che offered to take her back out of politeness.
A cold voice suddenly rang out in Su Huaiyue's mind: [Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task. The system rewards 100 manual beauty devices. May your business be prosperous!]
Su Huaiyue sighed deeply. Finally, the mission was over.
She never wanted to do this kind of inhuman task again.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the road ahead for the two people.
Wei Che remained silent. Jing Zhiwan occasionally made a few witty remarks, trying to break the slightly dull atmosphere, but Wei Che's responses were always brief and perfunctory.
After sending Jing Zhiwan back to the governor's mansion, Wei Che hurried back to the Wei family.
He walked straight to Su Huaiyue's room, stood at the door, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly knocked on the door.
"Who?" Su Huaiyue's voice came from inside the house, with a hint of fatigue.
"It's me, Wei Che."
The door slowly opened, and Su Huaiyue saw that it was Wei Che. A complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's so late, what's the matter?"
Wei Che walked into the room and looked at Su Huaiyue. He had a thousand words in his heart, but he didn't know where to start.
In the end, he just asked softly, "How was the shop inspection today? Still nothing suitable?"
Su Huaiyue nodded slightly, "Well, maybe the rent is too expensive or the location is not ideal. But don't worry, you will find one eventually."
Her tone was forced to be relaxed, but her fatigue was hard to conceal.
Wei Che looked at Su Huaiyue, his heart full of heartache: "You have given so much to the Wei family, I..."
Su Huaiyue interrupted him: "This is what I should do."
Wei Che's eyes were full of disappointment: "Then you should have a good rest first. I'll go back first. If you need my help tomorrow, just tell me."
I felt really guilty today because I was out with Jing Zhiwan and couldn't do anything to help them.
Back in his room, Wei Che lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
The next morning, Su Huaiyue got up early, washed up simply, and prepared to go out again to look for a shop.
Wei Che also got up very early. Seeing Su Huaiyue's appearance, his heart ached, but he still suppressed his emotions and did not go forward to ask.
Su Huaiyue looked at one shop after another, but still couldn't find a suitable one.
High rent, remote location, poor layout...all kinds of problems make them feel very frustrated.
Just when he was about to despair, Su Huaiyue suddenly remembered an old craftsman he had met at the market before.
This old craftsman has extensive connections and might be able to help.
Su Huaiyue immediately took everyone to the old craftsman's residence.
When the old craftsman saw Su Huaiyue, he greeted her warmly.
Su Huaiyue told him about her search for a shop and sincerely asked for his help.
