Three days later, Manager Zhang was summoned to the president's office, trembling with fear, and felt like crying.

"You mean you haven't gathered any information in these three days? What use are you to me?" Feng Yi glanced at Manager Zhang indifferently.

"These two people really seem to have appeared out of thin air; we can't find any information about them at all." He was also very desperate.

“We can’t find any information at all.” Feng Yi stopped what he was doing, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. This was one of the highest points in Linjiang City, and from here you could overlook the entire city.

If only a little bit of information is found, it's understandable. But if not a single bit of information is found, then there's definitely a problem. Someone is covering up Xiaoye's information.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave now!"

Manager Zhang was already quite satisfied that he wasn't sent to Africa to grow cacti. Before the boss changed his mind, he quickly and gracefully got out of there.

Feng Yi stood by the window for a long time, letting his thoughts immerse themselves in that beautiful past.

Xiaoye, do you still hate and resent me? Why did you come back but refuse to see me?

Feng Yi wasn't one to give up so easily. He quickly made a phone call. This was a power that belonged only to him, and he wouldn't normally use it unless it was absolutely necessary. But right now, for him, nothing was more important than finding Xiao Ye.

Ye Xiruo knew nothing of all this.

Ye Xiruo was now looking at the small courtyard with excitement. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and covered in dust, giving it a desolate and weathered feel. It was clear that no one had lived here for a long time.

Ye Xiruo suppressed the sadness in her heart: "Brother Xiuqi, this is the place."

Xiu Qiyu didn't say anything, but stepped forward and pushed open the door: "Let's go in."

Several villagers from Qingshui Village saw Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu loitering in front of the old house and went up to them.

"Young lady, who are you looking for? The owners of this place have all passed away, and the rooms have been empty for a long time."

Ye Xi recognized two of them. One was Zhang's eldest sister-in-law, whose scallion and egg pancakes were so delicious that you couldn't stop eating them. The other was Grandma Huang, whose embroidery skills were renowned throughout the village. They had both held her when she was a child.

"Sister-in-law Zhang, Grandma Huang, it's me, Xiao Ye, I'm back."

“Xiao Ye, it really is Xiao Ye.” Aunt Zhang held Ye Xiruo’s hand and looked her over several times. She did not doubt Ye Xiruo’s age. In her mind, Xiao Ye should look like this when she grew up.

"You've grown up, you've become a beautiful young woman." Aunt Zhang was very excited: "How have you been all these years? We've missed you terribly since you left."

"It's my fault. I haven't been able to come back to see Grandma and you all for so long. It's all my fault," Ye Xiruo said with great remorse.

"It's a pity that Granny Chen passed away early, otherwise she would have been so happy to see you like this now."

"I'm sorry to my grandparents."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Sister-in-law Zhang sighed, "This house is so old, I don't even know if it's still habitable. You've come all this way, you probably haven't eaten yet! Come on, let's go to my house for breakfast."

"Sister-in-law Zhang warmly took Ye Xiruo's hand."

"No, Sister-in-law Zhang, let's tidy up the yard first."

"You need to eat well to have the energy to work, right? Eating won't take too long. I'll have Erzhu help you clean up later."

As she spoke, she grabbed Ye Xiruo's hand and started to leave.

Ye Xiruo subconsciously looked at Xiu Qiyu: "Wait, sister-in-law, this is my friend. He came back with me this time."

"This young man is really handsome. Come on, let's go back and eat together," said Aunt Zhang warmly.

Zhang Dasao's house is not far from Ye Xiruo's house; it only takes three minutes to walk there.

"Xiaoye, you two sit down first, have some water, breakfast will be ready soon." After returning home, Aunt Zhang shooed Erzhu out of bed: "Xiaoye is back, go and talk to her."

Erzhu is Zhang Dasao's grandson. He had often heard his grandmother talk about the lovely little girl from Granny Chen's house at the edge of the village. She was incredibly beautiful and pretty, but unfortunately, she moved to the city and had only come back a few times over the years. Therefore, Erzhu was quite curious about this little girl, Xiaoye.

I glanced at her from afar, and wow, she's so beautiful! Grandma wasn't lying to me; she's much prettier than those female celebrities on TV. The man next to her is even more handsome. How can someone be so good-looking?

With Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu's skills, they naturally discovered Erzhu's spying behind the door long ago, but neither of them said anything.

"The people here are simple and honest. The older I get, the more I miss everything about this place."

Since arriving in Qingshui Village, Xiao Yezi has been in low spirits, and Xiu Qiyu doesn't know how to comfort Ye Xiruo.

Erzhu finally emerged shyly from behind the door and greeted Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu with "Good morning, brother and sister."

Good morning, sweetie.

Ye Xiruo pretended to take a box of Dove chocolates from her pocket, but actually took them out of her spatial ring.

"Consider this a small gift for our first meeting."

Erzhu nervously accepted the chocolate; he had seen it on TV and it looked delicious.

"Thank you, Brother Xiaoye."

Xiu Qiyu was now in an awkward position; he didn't know what to give as a gift.

“This is a blessing we obtained from Putuo Temple. Wear it to keep yourself safe.”

"Xiao Ye, what are you doing?" Aunt Zhang was still holding a rolling pin, which startled Er Zhu so much that he immediately hid behind Ye Xiruo.

"They're just little trinkets, Sister-in-law Zhang, don't worry about them."

"Erzhu, hurry up and thank your older brother and sister."

"Thank you, brothers and sisters. Erzhu is very happy. Erzhu will help you pull weeds in a little while."

This child is so young, yet so sensible. Unlike some of the little emperors and princesses in the city, who are seven or eight years old and still can't dress themselves, feed themselves, or cross the street by themselves.

Soon, a simple yet delicious-looking breakfast was served. There were golden-brown, fluffy fried dough sticks, fragrant scallion and egg pancakes, vegetable-filled pancakes, steamed buns, and mushroom and vegetable porridge—everything looked incredibly tempting.

"What are you all standing there for? Eat it while it's hot!" Aunt Zhang warmly greeted Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu.

Ye Xiruo and Xiu Qiyu simultaneously grabbed scallion and egg pancakes and began eating in unison. "Not as good as Xiao Yezi's," was Xiu Qiyu's assessment after finishing. "Indeed, better than mine," was Ye Xiruo's own opinion. Keep in mind, there were no spirit eggs here; everything was made with ordinary ingredients. To achieve such deliciousness was already quite remarkable.
