With a loud crash, the sky began to pour down rain.

Lin Ziyan and Pang Niu had just returned home when the sky darkened instantly due to the rain.

"Fortunately, Aunt Wang left in a hurry, otherwise she would definitely have been trapped in the fishing village."

The chubby girl muttered something to herself, pulled up a wicker chair, and sat under the eaves, watching the rain.

The heavy rain swept through, and the flowers in the yard were battered and swayed precariously.

The earthy smell in the air was washed away by the rain and became fresh.

"Go sit in the inner room so you don't get wet," Lin Ziyan said, turning back to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Now she spends more time at home, and she does most of the cooking.

My second sister steams rice as soon as she gets home from school, and no one can persuade her otherwise.

"Sister, Grandma Lan is stuck at our house because of the rain. Grandma said she'll cook an extra dish so Grandma Lan can stay and eat at our house."

As soon as Lin Ziyan stepped into the kitchen, her second sister Xiaoxiao said something.

"Okay," Lin Ziyan replied casually.

Xiaoxiao kept looking at her, feeling that her sister had changed a lot.

When Grandma Lan used to come, my sister would always cling to her and stay by her side.

Now that they hear Grandma Lan is here, they don't seem to have much of a reaction...

Lin Ziyan was unaware of her thoughts; she was currently preoccupied with the shrimp farm, trying to multitask.

An hour later, Lin Ziyan brought the last dish to the table before taking off her apron.

A dish of braised prawns in oil,

Seaweed soup with egg drop soup

Stir-fried sweet potato leaves,

There's also braised pork.

Grandma Lan looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes brightening slightly.

The food at the Lin family's house is even better than when she was in Beijing.

Moreover, it looks delicious and looks appealing, and the white plate makes it even more appetizing.

"Ayan, did you make all of this?" Grandma Lan looked at Lin Ziyan, who was walking in with a bowl, her gaze intense.

"Grandma Lan, Ayan's cooking is especially delicious!" The chubby girl snatched the bowl from Lin Ziyan's hand and helped serve the rice.

Grandma Lin glanced at Grandma Lan and said in a low voice, "It's too late to regret it now."

Grandma Lan, "..."

She coughed lightly twice and continued, "Ayan, where did you buy this plate for serving the food? It's very elegant."

"Outside the market." Lin Ziyan smiled faintly and arranged the served rice.

She recalled the meaningful look in Fang Jie's eyes when she took out the plate.

Nowadays, people don't like using plates like these; they prefer large bowls for serving vegetables and meat.

"I'll go take a look sometime," Grandma Lan said, her eyes flickering as she looked at the plate.

She had studied abroad and knew that these plates were popular with foreigners.

The group chatted and ate their meal, with Jiaojiao occasionally giggling out.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, thunder rumbled loudly, and half the sky was instantly brightened and then darkened again.

After finishing her meal, Grandma Lan held up her umbrella and said she wanted to go home.

Lin Atai looked at the rain outside and called out, "Ayan, take Grandma Lan home."

It was dark and the road was slippery; she was afraid something might really happen.

"No need, it's just a short walk away," Grandma Lan hurriedly refused, but Grandma Lin held her back, not letting her go.

Bang...

Thunder roared again, as if it were about to pierce the sky.

Lin Ziyan took the biggest umbrella in the house and helped Grandma Lan out.

The umbrella she held was big enough to cover both of them.

Lin Ziyan was taller than Grandma Lan, so she put her arm around her shoulder and slowly walked towards her house.

Amidst thunder and rain, Grandma Lan took a flashlight and lit it on the road.

The murky rainwater, mixed with red mud, surged towards the low-lying areas.

The two of them didn't speak a word the whole way.

Lin Ziyan kept a close eye on the road, afraid that she might accidentally step into a pothole.

Grandma Lan observed her the whole way, sighing inwardly, "What a wonderful granddaughter-in-law, it's a pity my grandson didn't choose her."

The two arrived at Grandma Lan's house, where Old Man He was holding an umbrella and preparing to come out to greet her.

"Grandpa He," Lin Ziyan called out, and only after delivering the person did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She was about to leave.

Grandma Lan grabbed her wrist and called into the inner room, "Yun Shen, come out for a moment."

Lin Ziyan looked at her in surprise, trying to pull her hand back, but she couldn't.

"Grandma Lan, I can go back by myself." As soon as Lin Ziyan finished speaking, a dark shadow loomed down.

"Yun Shen, take Ayan back." After saying that, Grandma Lan pulled Old Man He into the inner room.

Lu Yunshen glanced at the stunned Lin Ziyan, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

"I can go back by myself." Lin Ziyan came to her senses, opened her umbrella, and stepped into the rain.

Lu Yun Shen followed, holding an umbrella, and the two walked one after the other.

The rain gradually subsided, and Lin Ziyan walked at a leisurely pace, sometimes deliberately stepping into puddles as if she were playing.

She had long forgotten about Lu Yunshen following behind her.

Following behind her, Lu Yun Shen's eyes shone brightly, his gaze never leaving her.

Lin Ziyan stepped on something and slid forward.

Lu Yunshen's brow twitched, and he quickly stepped forward to support her.

Lin Ziyan had already closed her eyes, thinking that if she fell, it would definitely hurt a lot.

But she fell into a warm embrace, and a faint fragrance wafted into her nose.

Lin Ziyan looked up and saw a pair of dark eyes that sparkled like stars.

She quickly stood up straight. "Thank you."

Lu Yun Shen's back tensed up, the soft touch momentarily causing him to lose his composure.

After thanking her, Lin Ziyan continued walking forward, holding up her umbrella.

She wondered to herself, "Why is Lu Yun Shen still here? She even deliberately stepped in the puddle just now, how stupid..."

Lu Yunshen watched her walk into the courtyard before turning to leave.

This wasn't the first time he'd hugged a woman; in the past, when female students threw themselves into his arms, he'd only gently support them before letting go.

But I didn't feel anything; it was similar to helping a teammate.
