event?

Ye Yun didn't know what constituted a major event, whether it was starting his own business or becoming an official.

If he had to name what he had done, it was that he had written some online novels during his university years, which he considered mediocre and not a big deal.

“He would be very disappointed if he knew I was like this,” Ye Yun said.

"No, you're young, you've only just begun, you're just getting started," Lin Shuyue comforted her.

That makes sense; he's still young and has just graduated from university.

But for most recent graduates, this is both the beginning and the end. Because at this time, most people are confused and don't know what to do.

Some people are finished as soon as they begin.

Looking at his brother's grave, Ye Yun pondered in his heart how he should start and what he should do.

…………

On the downhill road, there were many wild jujubes by the roadside. These jujubes were about the size of a little finger and tasted sweet and sour.

Ye Yun picked some and handed a handful to Lin Shuyue. The two walked and ate sour dates as they went.

“When I was little, my brother and I often came here to pick wild jujubes. Later, my parents died, and my brother became the pillar of the family and had to work, so I started picking them myself and bringing them back for him to eat,” Ye Yun said.

“I know, he often told me that you were very naughty when you were a child and were the king of the village kids,” Lin Shuyue said with a smile.

"King of the kids! That was a long time ago. Now, what do you think of me?" Ye Yun asked.

Looking at Ye Yun's handsome face and tall figure, his glasses giving him an intellectual air, she couldn't help but blush when she thought about what she saw that morning—how manly he was after taking off his clothes.

"He's handsome, considerate, and gentle," Lin Shuyue commented.

Ye Yun was fairly satisfied with this; he had left a good impression on his sister-in-law, and she wasn't angry because he had seen her naked the night before.

"Your sister-in-law is wonderful too. She's beautiful and gentle. No wonder my brother praised you in his letter before," Ye Yun complimented.

"Me? Am I pretty?" Lin Shuyue blushed and shook her head, saying, "I don't even qualify! You've been in the city for so many years, you must have seen a lot of pretty girls. Compared to them, what am I?"

"There are indeed many beautiful women in the city, but most of them rely on cosmetics. My sister-in-law doesn't use cosmetics, and she's already so beautiful with her bare face. She must be even more beautiful with cosmetics, far surpassing those so-called celebrities."

Faced with Ye Yun's praise, Lin Shuyue blushed and her heart pounded. As a country girl, she already felt inferior in front of Ye Yun, a handsome young man who had returned from the city. After being showered with praise by him, she didn't know what to say.

"You...you stop joking. Your sister-in-law can't handle your praise. I might actually believe you if you say that."

"It's true! My brother is so lucky to have such a beautiful wife!" Ye Yun exclaimed.

The atmosphere fell silent after these words were spoken. Lin Shuyue said in a low voice, "But your brother died less than a year after I married him. The villagers all said that I was the one who killed him, that I was a jinx."

"What nemesis? That's all superstition. What does my brother's death have to do with you? If you really want to blame someone, blame the construction site. Don't listen to their nonsense," Ye Yun said.

“Xiaoyun…” Lin Shuyue looked at Ye Yun with red eyes. In the past six months, she had always been the subject of gossip and was worried that her uncle would blame her when he came back.

What moved her was that Ye Yun was so gentle and considerate, completely disregarding what the villagers said, and always thinking of her.

"Alright, stop overthinking. I'm different from them, so don't worry, sister-in-law!" Ye Yun stepped forward to wipe away her tears and comforted her.

Back home, Ye Yun walked around the house, checking the condition of the eaves. The house had been like this for years, never renovated, and was already in a terrible state. Although some parts had been patched up, it was useless and needed to be renovated completely.

"Xiaoyun, what are you looking at?" Lin Shuyue walked over and asked curiously.

"The house is too old, I want to renovate the whole place," Ye Yun said.

"Renovating? No rush, let's do it when you get married!"

"Get married?" Ye Yun chuckled and shook his head, saying, "It's a long way off. By the time I get married, this house probably won't be able to accommodate anyone."

"How could that be? You've been in college for four years. I've heard there are a lot of pretty girls there. Haven't you dated anyone?" Lin Shuyue asked curiously.

"No, I've been studying for the past four years, so I haven't had time to talk about it, and I'm too lazy to talk about it either."

"I'm too lazy to talk about it. Why?"

"It's exhausting. College romances are so complicated. You have to bring him breakfast, bring him dinner, and even tutor him. It's like being a slave. My roommate brought him breakfast for two years, and all they did was hold hands. When we graduated, she just got together with a rich guy and dumped him," Ye Yun said gloatingly.

"Oh no, that's really pitiful."

"That's why dating in college is such a waste of energy and money. Rich people with brains can date, but I'm broke and brainless, so I'd better do something worthwhile!" Ye Yun said.

“Alright! Since university isn’t an option, then let’s talk here. Don’t underestimate our rural area; there are plenty of pretty girls in the surrounding villages! And like you said, they’re all without makeup, so you can tell at a glance whether they’re pretty or not,” Lin Shuyue said enthusiastically.

"How good-looking are you? Are you as good-looking as my sister-in-law?" Ye Yun teased.

Lin Shuyue blushed and said coquettishly, "Stop being so cheeky. Who do you think I am? You're just teasing me."

"I'm not kidding you. I'm willing to date, but only if someone is as beautiful, gentle, and considerate as my sister-in-law."

Lin Shuyue rolled her eyes at him. "Don't worry, of course your sister-in-law will find you the best. You're so outstanding, we wouldn't even consider someone who's a little less than perfect, right?"

"Sister-in-law understands me best. My marriage is now in your hands. You'd better choose carefully!" Ye Yun said, patting Lin Shuyue on the shoulder.

"Of course, I'll leave this to you, sister-in-law." Lin Shuyue patted her chest confidently, causing a ripple.

Ye Yun suddenly felt a bit thirsty, pursed his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "Um... Sister-in-law, what are we having for lunch?"

"Oh, it's only a little past 10 o'clock, are you already hungry?" Lin Shuyue asked in surprise.

"No, I was just asking what you usually eat."

"Uh... I usually eat alone, so I just make do with whatever, like a bowl of noodles."

"Cooking noodles? That's too bland. How about rice instead? We can stir-fry some meat and vegetables," Ye Yun suggested.

"Rice? But we don't have any rice or meat at home. Should I go to town to buy some?"

"No need." Ye Yun pressed down on his sister-in-law's shoulder and said, "It would take you at least an hour to walk to town. I'll go."

How will you get there?

"Let's ride a motorcycle, borrow one from my third uncle."
