Yu Yang patiently explained to Chen Hong, "Actually, I feel that Uncle Zhou is a very good person. He is even more patient with me than my father."

Besides, he's quite good-looking. It would be a great honor for you to bring him to my dad's house later.

At the very least, he's better than those old men that the grandmas and aunties in the village introduce to you, and besides, Uncle Zhou isn't after our house or money.

My main concern is that it would be a real shame if you missed out on Uncle Zhou.

You're always out fishing or buying houses in Beijing and Shanghai, how could you possibly have the chance to meet such a handsome and capable uncle?

"Since someone's offered this to you, why not give it a try!"

Upon hearing Yu Yang's words, Chen Hong's worldview was instantly shattered. How could this tone sound like something her six-year-old son would say, rather than something her own father would say!

Chen Hong: This might be something I heard from the children in kindergarten, or from the gossip of the women in the village.

The channels through which children in rural areas receive information are truly remarkable and cannot be underestimated! If we don't pay attention, these people might lead our children astray one day!

"You're such a little kid, yet you talk a lot of nonsense. You worry too much; aren't you afraid you won't grow tall? Stop listening to other people's nonsense."

Yu Yang stuck out his tongue, carried the sesame seed cake into the dining room, and Chen Hong, having finished setting the table, was about to urge Yu Yang to eat when she saw him pick up the phone in the living room.

"Hey, Uncle Zhou, are you coming back for breakfast? My mom has already made it. Okay, we'll wait for you."

Be careful on the road. Mom said to watch out under the trees; branches can easily break in the wind. Okay, okay.

Chen Hong held a half-eaten sesame seed cake in her hand, staring at her son in disbelief:

"When did you get Zhou Yi's phone number? He won't go hungry when he comes back; he can always get a meal at the hotel cafeteria in the front yard."

Yu Yang chuckled, "Mom, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass!"

Uncle Zhou is a guest, and he saved Grandpa Wang from our village, so we can't be impolite.

Uncle Zhou said he'll be back in twenty minutes. Let's wait for him to come back and have breakfast together.

However, he avoided discussing when he obtained Zhou Yi's phone number.

Chen Hong clutched her chest and sighed, "My dear son has been keeping a secret from his mother without my knowledge!"

Xiao Bao, tell me, what exactly about the Book of Changes resonates with you that makes you speak so favorably of him?

Yu Yang was a little embarrassed. "Mom, I just wanted to know that he's a soldier. If you're with him, no one will dare to bully us in the future."

If anything happens to you at sea, only he can help; even the village chief and the others can't."

Hearing her son's words, Chen Hong felt heartbroken and burst into tears: it turned out that her son had been trying so hard to bring her and Zhou Yi together because he was afraid that if something happened to her at sea, she would have nowhere to turn for help.

Every time she goes out to sea, her son is always worried and scared at home, fearing that his mother will suddenly disappear and he will never be able to find her again.

Chen Hong never expected that her well-behaved and sensible son harbored such a great fear of her going out to sea to fish, yet he never stopped her from going out to sea!

But she knew she was in a hidden space, so she was safe from any danger anywhere. This was something only she could know, and she dared not tell her son!

Since he felt at ease accepting Zhou Yi, the only thing Chen Hong could do now was to go along with her son's wishes, associate with Zhou Yi for a few years, and soothe her son's deep-seated fear.

At worst, she can try to minimize the number of times she uses the space when she's with Zhou Yi in the next few years.

When he grows up, he will gradually understand that his mother is not in danger at sea.

Chen Hong is now feeling very guilty. She loves the sea and especially loves fishing in the open ocean.

They always thought that entrusting Yu Yang to the care of the trustworthy village chief and his wife was the best arrangement, but they overlooked their son's inner fear.

My son has only gone out to sea with me once, and that was not far from the shore.

He had no idea how his mother fished in the open sea, and the unknown dangers made him even more fearful and uneasy.

Chen Hong decided to take her son on a boat trip at sea for a few days during his summer vacation, not for a bountiful catch, but simply to let her child know that his mother's daily fishing life is safe.

Zhou Yi drove back to the villa entrance, got out of the car, and was about to knock on the door when he looked down and saw that he was covered in dirt, his white shirt was filthy, and the sleeves and front were stained with blood.

Entering like this won't do. Chen Hong hasn't given him a definite answer yet, and appearing in front of her like this will definitely lower her opinion of him.

Without hesitation, Zhou Yi turned around and ran back to the hotel. He quickly stripped naked as soon as he entered, took a quick shower in the bathroom, and came out in three minutes.

He quickly changed his clothes, this time wearing a casual tracksuit, as he was going to help Chen Hong with chores today.

According to Yu Yang, his mother also likes to wear loose-fitting sportswear at home.

I hope she likes my blue and white outfit.

I quickly scrubbed the clothes I had changed out of several times. Fortunately, the bloodstains hadn't been there long and were relatively easy to wash off.

After quickly washing the clothes and hanging them on the balcony to dry, Zhou Yi prepared to go out.

I picked up my watch, glanced at it, and put it on. Hmm, it took fifteen minutes to shower, do laundry, and get dressed. The time was not too long!

Before leaving, he went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror again. Although his hair was still dripping wet, it made him look even more masculine!

Zhou Yi grinned at himself in the mirror. His teeth were quite white, and his smile was handsome. Not bad, that should earn him extra points!

He ran back to the villa after leaving the hotel, but when he got to the gate, he found Yu Yang looking around with his two big dogs, searching for him.
