When they got home, Ms. Yun and Mr. Cheng were both there.

"Are your grandparents alright?" Ms. Yun asked.

"It's great. Every day I still go to the big tree at the entrance of the village to play cards with the old men and women."

Ms. Yun then asked, "Is Su Ni adjusting well?"

"She's adapted quite well. My sister is a quiet person by nature, and she seems to really like this environment," Cheng Qicai said after thinking for a moment.

Just then, Grandpa Cheng called.

Cheng Qicai answered, "Hello, Grandpa."

"Seven Colors, are you home yet?"

"arrive."

Grandpa Cheng asked a couple of questions with concern, and then brought up something, "By the way, after you left, Rong Qi sent a lot of gifts over. Remember to thank them. That kid, why send gifts after you've left? He's being so polite."

When Grandpa Cheng mentioned gifts, Cheng Qicai was taken aback and asked, "You mean Gu Rongqi gave us a gift after we left?"

Grandpa Cheng kept rambling on, "Yes, someone delivered some this afternoon. We've had so much stuff at home this year. We're old, how can we possibly finish it all?"

Cheng Qicai also felt it was a difficult situation, and said to Grandpa Cheng, "It's okay, you guys eat slowly first, and we'll see how to handle it when we come back."

The two exchanged a few more words before Cheng Qicai hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Ms. Yun asked, seeing Cheng Qicai deep in thought.

Cheng Qicai and Ms. Yun explained the situation.

Ms. Yun frowned and said, "These things are so expensive. We need to tell your grandfather to keep them safe and not give them away casually. I think we can go back and visit your grandfather and the others this Labor Day. We'll see what to do then."

As she spoke, Ms. Yun dialed back again and gave Grandpa Cheng some instructions.

She stayed with Ms. Yun for two days, signed for the package sent from her hometown, and then returned to her rented apartment.

In order to catch her flight, Grandma Cheng sent Gu Rongqi's cured meat to her along with her own.

Cheng Qicai wanted to take advantage of this last day of holiday to deliver it to them.

Cheng Qicai sent them a message and learned that Gu Liji started his business in Gu Rong. She then bought some fruit from the boutique fruit shop downstairs in the community before taking a taxi to their home.

The person who came out to meet her was Gu Rongqi's butler. Cheng Qicai still remembered him. "Uncle Wang!"

Wang Ben led her into Gu Rongqi's villa, where the air conditioning and heating were on full blast. Wang Ben politely said, "Miss Cheng, you can take off your coat, and I'll put it away for you."

When Cheng Qicai came in, she felt that it was much warmer than outside. She took off her down jacket and handed it to him with both hands, saying, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Wang."

Gu Liji appeared out of nowhere, drifting over in his wheelchair and stopping steadily in front of Cheng Qicai. It seemed he was now quite adept at operating the wheelchair.

A small, colorful ball followed behind his wheelchair.

It almost couldn't brake in time and spun on the wheelchair wheels, rolling around on the ground. When it saw Cheng Qicai, it happily ran towards her again.

Her outfit was a bit odd.

Wearing a thick gold chain and a quirky guitar outfit, with a yellow afro on his head, he looked like a dandelion swaying in the air.

"Brother Gu!" Cheng Qicai called out, squatted down, touched Huang Jindou's afro, and asked him, "Did you do this?"

She doesn't think Gu Rongqi has this kind of aesthetic.

"Isn't it cool, rock 'n' roll puppy?" Gu Liji grinned, looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Gu Rongqi came down the stairs, and the golden bean quickly slipped from Cheng Qicai's hand to Gu Rongqi's feet.

Gu Rongqi frowned as he looked at Huang Jindou's outfit. "Gu Liji, don't dress it in these strange clothes."

“It’s so much fun,” Gu Liji said, looking at Cheng Qicai. “You agree, right, Qicai?”

"Uh...it's quite interesting." Cheng Qicai had to admit that she liked this kind of comedic style.

Gu Rongqi looked at Huang Jindou's bright red and green clothes but couldn't see anything interesting about them.

The only interesting thing might be that it looks rather festive?

Wang Ben washed the fruit that Cheng Qicai had brought and placed it on the table. He then said to Gu Rongqi, "This is the fruit that Miss Cheng brought. I put the cured meat that she brought earlier in the kitchen."

"No need to be so polite." Gu Rong sat up on the sofa and shifted his gaze from the fruit to Cheng Qicai.

"No, it's just a small token!" Cheng Qicai turned and smiled at him.

Remembering her purpose, she thanked him sincerely, "I heard from Grandpa that you sent them a lot of things. Thank you so much, but you're being too kind."

Compared to when she was at work, her cheeks looked rounder than before, and the light in her eyes seemed even brighter.

Today, she was wearing a grass-green sweater, which made her look very fair and youthful.

Gu Rongqi curled his fingers slightly. "A few small things. Thank you for your help during our stay."

Cheng Qicai felt a little ashamed; the things he had given her were enough to feed his family for several months.

"No, it's no trouble at all. Our family treats all friends equally and we're not that particular. You don't need to bring any gifts; it's just a few meals."

Gu Rongqi lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Really? Then why didn't you take my New Year's red envelope?"

"This..." Cheng Qicai didn't expect him to bring this up and was momentarily speechless. She had long forgotten about this matter.

She honestly said, "That's too much trouble. My friends and I usually just send each other greetings and that's it. Besides, you wouldn't accept it even if I sent it to you, would you?"

Finally, Cheng Qicai couldn't help but point out his problem.

Gu Rongqi remained silent.

Golden Bean ran over, and Cheng Qicai patted its head, trying to break the awkward atmosphere.

He stood up and immediately put his escape plan into action, saying, "It's about time, Gu Rongqi, I'll be going now."

"Stay and have some food before you leave. I'll call the driver to take you home later." Hearing Cheng Qicai say she was leaving, Gu Rongqi looked at her again, "There's a home theater and a game room upstairs. You can go up and watch a movie or play a game if you're bored."

How could you just make that decision for her like that?

She declined, saying, "No need, I'll go back first."

"Didn't you say there aren't so many formalities between friends?" Seeing Gu Rongqi use her words to shut her up, she hesitated for a moment and then chose the home theater.

Speaking of games, Cheng Qicai thought of the time she played games with Gu Liji. With him here, she didn't want to play at all.

Therefore, we should directly skip the game room option.
