A sweet 1V1 romance story that feels empowering and down-to-earth, set in a rural era setting.
An architect named Hua Kai wakes up in a diary and finds herself transported back to the early 1...
Hua Kai watched Ye Yifan's retreating figure. What's wrong with this guy? What nonsense is he spouting? She scratched her head and went back to her room to sleep.
The next day, Hua Kai thought she would get up early, since she had slept for several hours. However, when she opened her eyes, it was already past eight o'clock. She quickly got up and left her room.
Ye Yifan was already dressed and had bought breakfast.
Hua Kai said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to sleep so soundly."
Ye Yifan said, "It's good to sleep more after you're drunk. Hurry up and wash up and eat."
After Hua Kai washed up and changed her clothes, she had breakfast with Ye Yifan.
The morning sun shone into the house, making it warm and cozy. The two of them ate breakfast facing each other without saying a word, but the feeling was very peaceful and happy.
Ye Yifan looked at the blooming flowers and felt very content. This was the home she had imagined many times, a place where she could talk to someone before going to bed at night and have breakfast with her loved one in the morning.
Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan, who was bathed in sunlight. His handsome face was truly striking. In her past life, she had longed for a home of her own, a lover who shared her ideals, and to have breakfast together in the morning. But she could never imagine what that man would be like. Now, looking at Ye Yifan, her mind went blank. She quickly shook her head. What was she thinking? She hadn't developed feelings for him in her past life, and in this life, she wasn't even an adult yet. Thinking about this was too early.
Ye Yifan smiled as he looked at Hua Kai's expressive face: "Eat your food properly. After you finish eating, we'll go to the department store."
Hua Kai heard the department store owner look up: "What do you want to buy?"
"Just buy something casually."
"Don't rush, come back and buy it later. I'll show you around then."
"I'm buying this for your family; I can't go empty-handed, can I?"
"You're helping me out. Besides, you've already given me so many things before. Do you know how many days my parents have been nagging about those things? They're probably still nagging about them now."
“Last time is last time, and this time is this time. Judging by the time, it will probably be lunchtime when we get back to your house, right? Buy some groceries and drinks so that your aunt won’t have to go through the trouble of preparing them.”
"You're going to have dinner at my house?"
"You're not welcoming me?"
Hua Kai quickly waved her hand: "No, no, I was a little surprised. My parents have said many times that they want you to come to their house for dinner. They would be so happy if you came, but they were afraid you would refuse."
"I don't have that many problems. Let's eat, and then we'll hurry up and go," Ye Yifan said.
Hua Kai agreed and quickly ate her meal.
After dinner, the two went to the department store. Hua Kai thought they were just going to buy some food and wine, but Ye Yifan ended up buying tea, candy, pastries, and fruit. If Hua Kai hadn't stopped him, they probably would have bought some health supplements too.
When I was handling the factory registration, the entire file was already in the car, so I didn't need to go back to get it; I could just go back directly.
Ye Yifan drove very steadily. The two talked about the factory. Hua Kai had many ideas and mentioned them whenever they came to mind, so as not to forget to say anything later.
They entered the village shortly afterward, and the two went to Li Jing's house first.
Li Jing was waiting at the door. When she saw Hua Kai and Ye Yifan, she happily went up to them and said, "Hua Kai, did you really bring Captain Ye?"
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Of course, I always keep my word. Has Feng Ying arrived?"
"They're here, but my older brother isn't. He always avoids talking about my sister-in-law and my mom. Sigh, never mind him. Huakai, you're not having any trouble, are you? If you are, then don't go in. I've already thought it through. If it doesn't work out, then..."
Before Li Jing could finish speaking, Hua Kai pulled her aside and said, "No, it won't work. Don't worry, Ye Yifan is capable. What you've done doesn't count for him."
Li Jing looked at Ye Yifan and said, "Captain Ye, I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Ye Yifan said, "You are Huakai's friend, so you are my friend too. It's only right."
At this moment, Feng Ying also came out: "Hua Kai, I thought you didn't dare to come."
Hua Kai smiled and said, "What wouldn't I dare to come?" With that, she and Ye Yifan walked into the house together.
When Feng Ying saw Ye Yifan, she was already half-defeated in terms of confidence. She didn't expect Ye Yifan to actually care about the flowers.
However, she came prepared. When she entered the house, she introduced a middle-aged man to Huakai: "This is my uncle. He works as an accountant in the township government. He has seen a lot of receipts. If you try to cheat, I might expose you. Even Captain Ye will lose face. But Captain Ye is not from our village, so he is not afraid. But Huakai, your parents are in the village. Aren't you afraid they will lose face?"
Ye Yifan took the documents out of the file folder and handed them to the man: "Take a look, but let me remind you, stay out of your niece's business, or she'll cause you trouble later."
After reading two pages, the man knew it was real. He was a worldly man; Feng Ying had told him before that she was there to expose Ye Yifan's fake contract and had even prepared two packs of cigarettes for him.
But now that he'd read the contract, he knew this wasn't a simple matter. A factory, occupying a larger area than the township government, and the acquisition price was six figures. He understood what all this meant. Now he had to distance himself from Feng Ying to avoid getting implicated.
He handed the contract back to Ye Yifan with both hands: "Captain Ye, I was also tricked into coming here by Feng Ying. If I had known it was you, I would never have come to play the villain. Captain Ye, why don't you come to my house for a simple meal as an apology to you?"
Ye Yifan was fairly satisfied with the other party's attitude, and without saying much, simply refused, "No need."
At this point, Feng Ying realized she had lost the match. Seeing her uncle's attitude, she became a little scared.
She was the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. At this moment, she smiled and said to Hua Kai, "Hua Kai, it was all a misunderstanding before. I was just out of my mind that day and got carried away with you. It's all in the past now, so don't take it to heart. No matter what, I'm still Li Jing's sister-in-law, aren't I?"
Hua Kai looked down on Feng Ying, who was an opportunist: "I have nothing to say to you. Don't get involved in Li Jing's marriage in the future."
After saying that, she turned to Jiang Lanfeng and said, "Aunt Feng, the rest is your family matter, I won't get involved."
Jiang Lanfeng nodded: "Huakai, thank you so much, Captain Ye, for your help this time." She couldn't say too much in front of her daughter-in-law, so she could only express her gratitude.
Hua Kai smiled and said, "Then I'll go back."
Jiang Lanfeng and Li Jing saw Hua Kai and Ye Yifan off as they left the courtyard, thanking Ye Yifan several times along the way.
Hua Kai and Ye Yifan got into the car and went straight home.
When they arrived at the door, Hua Qingyang was home. Hearing the car, he ran out and saw that Ye Yifan had also arrived. He happily went over to greet him: "Captain Ye is here. Come in quickly."
Ye Yifan liked his future brother-in-law very much. They were very close. He said to Hua Qingyang, "Qingyang, come and help me with my things."
