Hua Kai listened to Ye Yifan's nonchalant words and said, "Being rich is different. Buying a shop is like buying cabbage. It's incomparable." She used to want to be the richest person and wanted to make the man across the street rich. In the end, it was more like he was making her rich.

Ye Yifan looked at the blooming flowers and said, "You'll be rich in the future too. Besides, if you want to do something and need money, just tell me. You're not short of money."

Hua Kai shook her head: "That's different. I can't keep fleecing the same sheep, can I?"

Ye Yifan frowned: "So you want to find another sheep to fleece?"

Hua Kai laughed: "What? I just want to work harder myself. I can't just take everything for granted."

Ye Yifan's brows relaxed upon hearing this: "The places where you can spend money are basically all about making money. Why would I be afraid to invest with you?"

Hua Kai looked at Ye Yifan and said, "You are indeed smart. No wonder you are rich and have good taste."

At this moment, the waiter came in to take our order.

After ordering, Hua Kai remembered that Ye Yifan had mentioned his grandfather's health wasn't very good, so she asked, "How is your grandfather's health lately?"

Ye Yifan said, "It's alright. As long as he keeps taking the medicine, it's good that his neighbors are all his old comrades and friends. They often come to his house to talk and play chess with him, so he's in a good mood."

Hua Kai said, "That's good. As people get older, they are afraid of being lonely."

Ye Yifan laughed: "That's true. And as I get older, I like to meddle in things. Last month, I helped my old comrade's grandson find a match, and these past few days I've been helping a friend with his suburban resort. Everything else is done, but we can't find a good landscape designer. I came back late to help him find someone to design it. It's just that my friend is abroad right now and won't be back until next month, so we'll have to wait."

Hua Kai listened to Ye Yifan's words and her eyes lit up. Her major in her previous life was environmental art design, and she was proficient in landscape architecture. She also started her own business in this field. As for what this major is called in this era, she has not yet taken the exam. In this life, she plans to study architectural design and then take environmental art design in college so that she can be proficient in both majors. However, she is very confident in her ability to work in landscape architecture.

She looked at Ye Yifan with a smile: "Why don't you beg me? I might be able to help you."

Ye Yifan never believed that Hua Kai would make such a joke or talk big. His eyes were filled with doubt: "You're so young. I believe you've read books on interior design, but landscape design isn't something you can learn just by reading books. It requires a lot of professional knowledge."

Hua Kai knew it was too difficult to lie to Ye Yifan, but she really didn't want to hide too much and wanted to help Ye Yifan: "I said I have a secret, but I can't tell you now. It's not that I don't trust you, but I really can't tell you. But I have nothing to hide from you, I didn't lie to you."

Ye Yifan looked at the blooming flowers and said, "I've always wanted to respect your privacy, but I have to admit I'm curious. But don't worry, I won't force you to tell me what you don't want to say."

"Thank you, Ye Yifan."

"I think one day you'll be willing to tell me."

"I'm not sure, because I'm confused about this myself."

"Then let's not talk about it. But are you sure you can really complete the design independently?"

Hua Kai said confidently, "Absolutely no problem, but I need a floor plan of the resort."

Ye Yifan said, "The blueprints are in my car. I'll get them for you in a bit."

Hua Kai nodded and said, "Okay, I can only tell you the specific time needed after I see the area. I can design, but I don't have the qualifications, so after I finish the drawings, you will need to go to the relevant department of the design institute to complete the procedures. I don't quite understand the current procedures, so you will have to ask them yourself."

Ye Yifan listened to Hua Kai's words and wondered what era's procedures she knew if she didn't understand the current procedures.

But she has already been as open as possible with me, so I shouldn't ask her anymore.

He said, "I'll take care of the rest. My friend is coming back next month, and he can help out then."

Hua Kai said, "That's good. Don't worry, I'll make the old man happy."

Ye Yifan smiled: "I believe you."

The waiter came in to serve the food, and Hua Kai stopped talking about that and started talking about going home. Anyway, she always had so much to say to Ye Yifan. Apart from the fact that she couldn't talk about her time travel, she really didn't think there was anything else she couldn't say.

Listening to Hua Kai talk about her family, Ye Yifan showed no impatience whatsoever. He even discussed it with her, and when Hua Kai got angry, Ye Yifan would complain along with her.

Hua Kai looked up and met Ye Yifan's eyes. Her heart suddenly raced, as if she had been electrocuted.

Her face turned bright red, and she quickly lowered her head. Sometimes, Hua Kai wondered if she had fallen in love with Ye Yifan, a doubt she couldn't deny.

Ye Yifan looked at the blooming flowers and asked, "Why is your face so red? Did the wind blow on you? Are you feeling dizzy?"

Hua Kai quickly shook her head: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a bit. I'll just have some water."

After that, Hua Kai didn't talk as much as before, and kept wondering if she had really fallen in love with Ye Yifan.

After dinner, Ye Yifan noticed that Hua Kai's face was still flushed: "Do you want me to take you back to your brother's place to lie down for a while?"

"No need, I'll just go back to school."

"Then I'll take you back."

Hua Kai didn't know what to say, and followed Ye Yifan towards the school.

When she arrived at school, Hua Kai forgot to bring the blueprints and went straight into the school.

Ye Yifan was worried. After watching Hua Kai enter the school, he thought for a moment and went in as well. He found Gu Xiaoxue and asked her to keep an eye on Hua Kai and ask her to ask for leave for her if she was feeling unwell.

Gu Xiaoxue agreed, then remembered, "Brother Fan, you came at noon, why didn't you invite me to lunch?"

Ye Yifan said, "I didn't expect to come back. I just happened to see Hua Kai."

Gu Xiaoxue was skeptical: "Really?"

Ye Yifan felt that Gu Xiaoxue needed a girlfriend, and Hua Kai's suggestion could be put into practice.

He said, "Yes, really. I'm still at work, so I'll go now. I'll come over tonight and we can have dinner together."

Gu Xiaoxue smiled with satisfaction when Ye Yifan said he would come over for dinner that evening: "Don't worry, Huakai is also my friend. I'll go see him more this afternoon."

After seeing Ye Yifan off, Gu Xiaoxue began to look at the lesson plans on the table.

Hua Kai returned to the classroom, looked out the window, calmed herself down, and thought it over. She felt that she was still young and needed to suppress this matter. In any case, she would think about it again after she successfully skipped a grade next year. She was already very tired from doing business and studying, and she couldn't afford to be distracted again.

But does Ye Yifan have feelings for me? He probably does. Perhaps he's just as unsure of his own feelings as I am? Or maybe he's considering practical things, like the significant age difference between us? Or something else?

What if Ye Yifan suddenly gets a girlfriend? No, if he really does get a girlfriend, it proves he doesn't like me. If he doesn't like me, why should I force him?

Then give yourself and him some time. It's not too late to think about these things when everything is more stable next year. For now, let's just be friends, like before.
