The two didn't shop for long before leaving their purchases at the service desk and leaving.

Madam Jiang waited at the door, and only after she saw the two of them clearly did she tell the driver to drive back.

Lin Ziyan was pulled by Lu Yunshen towards the photo studio.

There's still half an hour before the movie starts.

There happened to be a photo studio next to the movie theater, and Lu Yunshen said he wanted to take a group photo there.

"Come closer..."

The uncle at the photo studio laughed and waved his hand.

Lu Yunshen put his arm around her shoulder.

"one two three…"

The man had barely finished speaking when a flash of light froze the image.

After Lu Yunshen paid the money and left his mailing address, the two of them walked out of the photo studio.

Lin Ziyan turned around and glanced at the photo studio of this era, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Family photos, pictures of babies sitting down, photos of couples standing side by side, etc., are mostly in black and white.

In the era before her rebirth, people could take photos simply by picking up a mobile phone, and photo studios gradually transformed into wedding photography, artistic photography, and so on.

Upon entering the movie theater, a not-too-large white screen is placed in the center.

The pale yellow light shone on everyone's faces, as if they were coated with a halo, creating a hazy beauty.

Not long after the two sat down, all the lights went out, and the only light source was a beam of light shining directly onto the white curtain from above.

Dust swirled around the light source, making the dust dizzy and disoriented.

The actor's name popped up on the screen, and the male lead turned out to be Song Yi, Fang Jie's husband.

Lin Ziyan looked at the black and white image, initially finding it novel, but then lost interest.

The story begins with a young intellectual sent to the countryside searching for his relatives, and the female protagonist remarries after giving birth to a son.

Lin Ziyan guessed the ending right from the beginning.

She rested her chin on her hand and turned to look at Lu Yun Shen beside her.

He sat up straight, looking intently without glancing to the side.

The outline of her high, straight nose was faintly visible in the dim light.

Her jawline was delicate and smooth, and her lips were slightly pursed...

Looking at him this way, Lin Ziyan suddenly felt that his features were comparable to those of male celebrities.

A cool, fragrant scent suddenly wafted into my nostrils.

"Am I more attractive than a movie?" A deep voice sounded from above.

Lin Ziyan's ears turned red instantly; this wasn't the first time she'd been caught.

In dark environments, the senses are more sensitive.

She heard soft panting from the back row. She turned her head to look, but Lu Yun Shen covered her eyes. "Don't look, they're kissing."

Lin Ziyan thought to herself, "I never thought there would be anyone so bold as to kiss in a movie theater in this day and age."

"Then we should definitely watch it, since we don't have much experience..." she murmured.

Lu Yunshen's back stiffened, as if an electric current surged into his palm and then exploded through his nerves.

My throat is unbearably itchy and numb, yearning for something…

He always felt that the girl in front of him was hard to understand, often saying surprising things and looking at him with unrestrained arrogance.

“No need to look, you can practice…” Lu Yun Shen’s deep voice rang in my ears.

Lin Ziyan took his hand away; her heart was pounding in her throat.

The two left the movie theater, went straight to the Friendship Store to pick up their items, and then walked towards their parking spot.

Neither of them spoke the entire time, but Lu Yun Shen held her hand tightly, as if afraid she would run away.

The car drove onto the main road and then turned into a bamboo forest.

The rustling of the leaves sounded like applause, and the swaying branches seemed to be nodding and bowing.

Lin Ziyan had forgotten how she got into the back seat. The back door opened, and a blast of cold air hit her, bringing her back to her senses.

Her heart was pounding, her palms were sweating, and she couldn't help but swallow.

Cool fingertips cupped the back of her neck, and a faint, cool fragrance drew near.

His thin lips covered hers, starting with a light, fleeting kiss that gradually grew passionate and lingering...

Her tongue lightly traced the shape of her lips, gently sucking...

Lin Ziyan placed her hand on his chest and felt the tension in his body; he was clearly very nervous.

Her expression was dreamy and intoxicated, with a hint of allure hidden in her eyes, radiating a captivating light.

Lu Yun Shen released her, his eyes blazing with excitement as he stared intently at her expression, afraid that she might show the slightest resistance.

"Can I hug you?" he asked in a low voice.

Lin Ziyan was stunned for a few seconds, her mind went blank, and she felt her fingers go limp.

She leaned forward slightly, and Lu Yun Shen pulled her directly into his arms.

The warm breath he exhaled filled my ears, swirling around me.

Meanwhile, in Beijing, the Lu family...

Grandma Lu was completely stunned after receiving the call.

The old housekeeper called her several times, but she didn't respond.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Grandma Lu came to her senses and said, "It's nothing."

She then slapped her thigh and immediately dialed the number to the fishing village.

She wanted to find out for sure whether her grandson was really dating someone.

He found a country girl? And dropped out of school?

Grandma Lu thought about it more and more and it seemed impossible.

How could her proud grandson be captivated by a village girl?

The call went unanswered.

Grandma Lu was extremely anxious and stood up, pacing back and forth in the living room.

It wasn't until He Qingyu returned that she hurriedly asked, "Yun Shenchu ​​has a boyfriend, did you know?"

He Qingyu looked bewildered, subconsciously shaking his head before pausing.

A girl's smiling face appeared in her mind.

…

Lin Ziyan returned to town and took a box out of her bag, handing it to Lu Yunshen.

"I'll open it when I get home," she said, and then got out of the car.

Now, it only takes about ten minutes to ride a bicycle back from town, and you'll be at the village entrance in no time.

As evening fell, the sunset painted half the sky, making the sky resemble a shy, blushing maiden, with thin clouds covering half of it as if to help conceal her.

Lu Yun Shen picked up the box and glanced at it. It was still wrapped in paper, so he couldn't tell what it contained.

He remembered that when he took the items to the service desk for storage, Lin Ziyan seemed to have bought something again...

The two returned to the village one after the other, and no one knew that they had gone to the city together.

As soon as Lin Ziyan entered the courtyard, she saw Aunt Chen and several other women there, and her face was full of doubt.

"Ayan, the inspectors came today. They said our paperwork is incomplete and we can't get a business license." Aunt Chen hurriedly went to greet them.

Lin Ziyan stopped in her tracks, thinking that it probably wasn't the ice factory manager causing trouble, but perhaps...

She thought of that old Mrs. Jiang, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.

"Ah Yan, a staff member secretly told me that we've offended someone higher up," Aunt Chen said in a low voice.

Lin Ziyan nodded, "Aunties, go back first. I'll make a phone call later."

People in the courtyard left one after another, glancing back several times with concern.

The shrimp paste factory is about to open, but if it closes down because they can't get the business license, then these workers will lose their jobs...

"Ayan, let me know if anything happens to you. Don't try to handle everything on your own."

"If all else fails, we'll go find the old Party Secretary. He knows a few people in the county," Aunt Chen said, her expression full of worry.

Today they changed into matching clothes, and the factory was very clean; there was nothing wrong with it.

Unexpectedly, the final result was not satisfactory...

"Hmm, it should be fine," Lin Ziyan said with a faint smile.

She was determined to come to the shrimp paste factory; she wouldn't stop just because someone had poured cold water on her plans.
