This time, he felt his heart pounding...

…

the next day,

Rain was still dripping from the eaves, and a faint floral fragrance filled the courtyard.

Lin Ziyan walked out of the room with dark circles under her eyes.

She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

If she hadn't had to go to the city today, she would definitely have slept in.

There's no need to worry about the shrimp farm; all they have to do is feed the shrimp in the small pond in the morning, and then Fatty and her friends can relax.

Lin Ziyan had been wanting to visit the shrimp fry market in the city, so she made an appointment with Fatty yesterday.

"Ayan!"

Lin Ziyan had just finished breakfast and came out of the house when she heard the fat girl's voice.

"Wait for me." She turned and went back into her room, then came out with a beige cloth bag on her back.

Lin Ziyan braided two fishtail braids today and also clipped ribbons she bought from Sister Fang into them.

As soon as she stepped out of the yard, the chubby girl froze.

"Ayan, your braids look good!" the chubby girl blinked.

"Thank you." Lin Ziyan smiled and handed her a cloth mask. "I had my grandmother draw a design for it. It's for dust and sun protection."

The chubby girl waved her hand, "I don't need it, I'll suffocate..."

The mask was made of thin gauze with a thin inner layer of fabric, and Grandma also made small holes for ventilation.

Lin Ziyan wore a mask and then a cloth hat.

At first glance, all you can see are her bright, clear black eyes.

"Ayan, now I finally know why you're so fair-skinned. In this heat, you don't show any skin at all, how could you not be fair-skinned?" The chubby girl hugged her arm and whispered.

The two walked out of the village and planned to take the village's oxcart to the town to catch a bus to the city.
