"South Wind Knows My Heart" is undoubtedly the hottest TV series this summer, without a doubt. The script and the actors are both of high quality. Although the post-production editing is a little bit of a drag, it does not affect the fact that this drama has become the top hit drama right now.

Shortly after the new drama premiered, Xu Qian, as part of the "South Wind" cast, was invited to participate in the variety show "Happy Party" on Sanjiang TV, which can be considered as promotional work for the new drama, so he had to cooperate.

During this period, Xu Qian also filmed a 12-episode low-budget web series, starring in it. It was a self-produced series by Yimi Sunshine. In Ren Feifei's words, this was called making the best use of resources. Although Xu Qian's contract was about to expire, it hadn't expired yet!

In a sense, the development of China's entertainment industry is relatively green and healthy, much more harmonious than in the 21st century. This is partly due to policy guidance and partly due to the overall environment, and overall it is moving in a positive direction.

...

On the second day of summer vacation, Qin You went to the Luster Desert, accompanied by Xiao Qing, who had transformed into a male.

As the largest desert in China, Luster Desert has been developing an oasis project since the 1960s. To date, it has successfully restored nearly 1.7 million mu of green land. An 80-year oasis project has given the entire Luster Desert a brand-new look.

Of course, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.

An oasis turning into a desert doesn't happen overnight, and the same principle applies to a desert turning into an oasis.

Qin You spent the entire summer vacation eating sand in the Luster Desert. Although the days were a bit tough, the scenery was quite beautiful, with the view of the setting sun over the long river every evening.

"Time to eat—" Xiao Qing's voice came from afar. It was a male voice, a bit rough, definitely a tough guy.

Qin You exclaimed "Hey!", stood up from the sand dune, patted his bottom, and then stomped his feet and ran down.

Life in the desert is monotonous; all you see is the sky above and sand below. Only those with considerable perseverance can stay here.

After a simple dinner, Qin You realized that Xiao Qing was not in the house. He looked around and finally found him lying on the sand dune outside.

"How did you end up here?" Qin You asked, sitting down beside him.

"Let's look at the moon," Xiaoqing said in a very romantic way.

Qin You looked up at the sky. The moon hung there, and when he stretched out his hand, it seemed as if he could touch it.

“You couldn’t see a moon like this at Jingyue Lake before, you could only see a tiny bit of it.” Xiaoqing made a small ‘O’ sign.

"After all, it's the Hidden Moon Sect." Qin You was simply joking about their name.

Xiaoqing didn't respond again, her eyes seeming to recall something, perhaps the time at Jingyue Lake, or perhaps something else, like certain people.

For some reason, Xiaoqing suddenly turned to Qin You. It could be said that Xiaoqing has lived until now entirely for Chu Qingxia, so what about him? What is his purpose?

"For what...for what..."

Everyone says that longevity is good, but who can truly understand the torment involved...?

***

It's back-to-school season again, and Xu Qian's career as an actor has come to an end with the conclusion of "Four Seasons: Autumn".

Changaishan Fushui Town —

A shop called 'Xishanju' was cleaned up. To the left of the entrance was a well, with crabapple trees planted on both sides. To the right was a vine swing (which Xiaoqing insisted on having built).

The entire courtyard is filled with flowers and plants, a dazzling array that is very pleasing to the eye and can be considered a perfect place for retirement.

The shop is a three-story building, one floor more than originally planned. The upper two floors are for living, with one master bedroom, three secondary bedrooms, and one room used as a storeroom. The lower floor is a small restaurant, but there aren't many seats for customers. At first glance, it doesn't seem like a business that's genuinely interested in doing business.

The kitchen on the first floor also has a back door, which leads to a vegetable garden that has already been planted with radishes, cabbages, green peppers, and other vegetables, so you can use whatever you need.

From the outside, the entire 'Xishan Residence' is designed to be very pleasant, using flowers, plants, bamboo and wood as elements, and paired with warm lighting, creating a cozy and comfortable feeling.

Xu Qian decided to run the small restaurant under the guise of the Tang Clan, and also released the low-key, trouble-free pets from his backpack, especially the Ming Cult cats, who were all incredibly lazy. Unfortunately, A Bao was too conspicuous and couldn't be released openly (sigh).

The Meng brothers were the first guests at Xishanju when it opened.

Because Meng Liangchen had class the next morning, the two of them had to rush back to Weicheng overnight in the rain after finishing their meal.

"We won't drink any more wine. Today, let me show you this—" Xu Qian brought over two bowls of rock sugar pear soup, which were still warm.

Autumn is a dry season, and a bowl of warm, sweet rock sugar pear soup instantly moisturizes the whole body.

Before the Meng brothers could even speak after taking a sip, a bell suddenly rang.

"Hello... Do you still have food?" Two young men walked in, each carrying a wet umbrella and two large bags. They looked a little shy, as if they were wondering if they had gone to the wrong place and if this was really a restaurant.

"Someone's here, you can go about your business," Meng Ziqiu said hurriedly.

"Yes! Please have a seat!" Xiao Qing stepped forward to greet them. This time, he had transformed into a young man. He was only considered handsome, but his face was always smiling, which made him very approachable.

The two boys randomly found empty seats and sat down; because of the rain, they were mostly soaked.

Xu Qian took two new towels from the front desk and handed them to the two young men, saying, "Wipe yourselves off first, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Ah, thank you, boss," the two boys said hurriedly.

Xu Qian handed them the menu, which consisted of some home-style dishes at reasonable prices, just normal market prices.

The two ordered one meat dish and two vegetable dishes, but did not order soup.

Xu Qian sent two servings of loofah and egg soup separately as a gift for the first day of business.

After serving the dishes, Xu Qian didn't pay any more attention to the two people. Instead, he sat back down in his seat, as they hadn't eaten dinner yet.

He Jun and Zhou Bin are longtime friends. Both are freelance writers for a magazine. They came to Chang'ai Mountain on a budget trip to find some inspiration.

Before entering, the two had already prepared themselves to be ripped off, since the restaurant was nicely decorated and was one of the few small restaurants open in the area. However, the prices on the menu were surprisingly reasonable. So, they exchanged a glance and tacitly changed their order from one meat dish and one vegetable dish to one meat dish and two vegetable dishes.

When the dishes arrived, the two were even more surprised because the portion size was so generous. It would have been enough for two people, or even one more.

He Jun took the first bite of stir-fried green peppers and pork. The dish was half meat and half vegetables. The pork was very tender and coated with a garlic sauce. The green peppers were slightly spicy, making it a perfect dish to eat with rice.

Zhou Bin first tasted the stir-fried cabbage with vinegar. The sweet and sour flavors were just right, and the cabbage was very crisp, as if it had just been picked.

Stir-fried water bamboo shoots are also good; they're refreshing and fragrant, and there are some slices of meat in them. Although there aren't many, they're priced like vegetables.

In no time at all, the two of them had eaten half of their large bowls of rice.

Soon, the two devoured the three dishes and soup on the table in a flash, then leaned back in their chairs with their bellies up.

I can understand. These two are truly on a tight budget. If it hadn't rained heavily today and the rising river flooded their camping gear, they might still be eating instant noodles in the wild right now.

Therefore, when God closes a door, He opens a window.

The two young people arrived quickly and left quickly. When they paid the bill, they smiled and said they would come back to patronize the business again next time.

Xu Qian wasn't sure if he would ever see them again, but he was still very happy to hear this.
