Lin Yuan chuckled. Although he didn't understand what "street rioting" meant, he knew that Zhao Huanhuan was referring to the way people looked at them when they were walking down the street.

"Lin Yuan, why did people keep staring at us just now?" Zhao Huanhuan finally felt much more at ease and asked Lin Yuan.

"Maybe it's because we're both good-looking?" Lin Yuan said with a light laugh.

"Hehehe!" Zhao Huanhuan was amused by his unexpected remark, and her mood immediately improved.

"Where do we go next?" Zhao Huanhuan looked around and asked Lin Yuan.

She didn't want to go shopping, and there was nowhere else she wanted to go.

"Would you like to go for a walk around the neighborhood? Shall we go back and ride our bikes?" Lin Yuan asked her.

He remembered that the scenery on the mountain west of Yuancheng seemed quite nice.

"Walk!"

Zhao Huanhuan was immediately delighted.

The two of them went back, rode their bicycles, and headed out of town.

My parents don't usually ride bikes to work because it's close to home, unless they have a task to do in the surrounding area.

After locking the bicycle at the foot of the mountain, Lin Yuan reached out and took Zhao Huanhuan's hand, and the two slowly walked up the mountain.

"Even though it's winter, the air still feels so fresh in the countryside," Zhao Huanhuan said softly, looking around.

The air quality at that time was much better than it would be decades later; it smelled fresh, probably because there weren't as many cars on the road!

“Yes, our camp is also in the mountains. The air there is very fresh. We do our field training all year round in the mountains,” Lin Yuan said softly.

Zhao Huanhuan nodded. Having always lived in the city, she loved to take a trip to places with mountains and rivers during her vacations, spending a few days there. She always felt that such places were the best for relaxing the mind and body and relieving stress.

I've been in this world for more than half a year, and the only time I've gone was after Lin Yuan came back, when I accompanied her for a run in the mountains on New Year's Day.

"Are you tired?" Lin Yuan asked Zhao Huanhuan softly after climbing halfway up the mountain.

"Not tired at all. For the past six months, we've been doing radio calisthenics with the kids every day at school," Zhao Huanhuan said with a light laugh.

At night when she's at home, she'll do some yoga on the kang (a heated brick bed) before going to sleep.

"Lin Yuan, how did you come up with the idea of ​​leaving me so many letters, and even having Mom deliver them for you?" Zhao Huanhuan glanced at Lin Yuan, who was walking ahead of her and holding her tightly, and asked softly.

Lin Yuan blushed at the question, coughed lightly, and then turned around to ask, "When did you figure out that Mom sent it to you?"

Zhao Huanhuan met his gaze with a faint smile. "In your eyes, am I stupid?"

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then quickly chuckled and said softly, "Of course not, I just guessed that receiving the letter for the first time might make you think that I've come back!"

Zhao Huanhuan recalled the scene when she received her first letter.

That day, she and Yan Yan came back from school. They had been exhausted for several days, and she also had her period that day, so she was in a lot of pain and didn't eat much for dinner.

When her mother-in-law learned that she was having menstrual cramps, she quickly made her some brown sugar water and filled a thermos with it, and told her to go home and rest more.

After drinking the brown sugar water, she returned to the room, washed her face, and went to bed. However, she found a letter on her pillow.

She recognized the handwriting on the envelope; it was Lin Yuan's.

She was overjoyed and quickly got out of bed. She went outside for a walk and, after confirming that it wasn't Lin Yuan who had really returned, she assumed it was a letter from Lin Yuan.

In her happiness, she forgot about the pain in her stomach and didn't even notice that the envelope had no stamp or return address, only the sender, Lin Yuan.

After reading the letter, she understood that it was written before he left home. He didn't mention what it was like over there, but only that the time he spent back home was the happiest holiday of his life because he met her and married her!

Seeing that Zhao Huanhuan was just silently lost in thought, her steps following his lead up the mountain, Lin Yuan pursed his lips and sighed inwardly.

Upon reaching the mountaintop, and seeing the former city now appear as a low-lying residential area in their eyes, Lin Yuan turned to face Zhao Huanhuan and pulled her into his arms.

Zhao Huanhuan hugged his waist back, leaned against his chest, and gently closed her eyes.

"The day I received the first letter, we were busy tidying up the school. We had been working hard for several days in a row. I was a little tired, and on the other hand, I had my period that day. The pain in my stomach was also tormenting me, making me very vulnerable that day."

"Mom probably noticed I wasn't feeling well, so she made me some brown sugar water and packed a thermos for me to lie down and hug. But as soon as I lay down, I saw a letter next to my pillow..."

Zhao Huanhuan spoke softly the whole time, and Lin Yuan listened quietly. Towards the end, Lin Yuan's eyes became a little sore, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Zhao Huanhuan's hand, holding her even tighter!

"So, I didn't notice anything unusual about the letter at the time. It was only after reading it several times that I realized it didn't seem like something you wrote after returning to your unit. Then, looking at the envelope, I discovered there was no stamp and no return address..."

Zhao Huanhuan looked up at him and said shyly, but the rest of her words were cut off by Lin Yuan's urgent kiss.

The letters he left for Huanhuan were actually written in the style of love letters.

...

When their parents returned home in the evening, the young couple had already prepared dinner and were waiting for them.

After dinner, the family sat together, eating sunflower seeds and chatting until ten o'clock before going to rest.
