Wen Yixing didn't stay with Shen Jingshao for long. After the company's employees went on holiday, Wen Yixing planned to take Fang Jingyao back to his hometown for the Chinese New Year.

Shen Jingshao is, after all, a member of the Shen family, and must return to the Shen family's old house for the New Year.

Shen Jingshao's mother had suggested several times that Shen Jingshao take Wen Yixing back home for the New Year.

But Shen Jingshao refused, and didn't even tell Wen Yixing about it.

He knew that Wen Yixing had finally returned to China, and she definitely wanted to go back to her own home and see her parents.

On the day they were to go home, Shen Jingshao took them to the airport.

Winters in Beijing are also very cold. Wen Yixing was wearing a thick coat and a dark green scarf that Shen Jingshao had given her.

Fang Jingyao also had the same style around his neck.

Wen Yixing didn't know how to knit scarves, so she picked out a suitable brown scarf online and gave it to Shen Jingshao.

Shen Jingshao wasn't particularly afraid of the cold, and he carefully put the scarf away.

Once they arrived at the airport, Wen Yixing smiled and looked up at Shen Jingshao: "I'm about to board the plane. See you in a few days."

Shen Jingshao: "Remember to message me when you get home."

Wen Yixing smiled and said, "I know."

Not long after Wen Yixing got off the plane, it started snowing in her hometown. This time, Wen Yichen came to pick them up in his car.

After a year of retaking the college entrance exam, Wen Yichen successfully got into university, and a very good one at that. Wen Jianguo was overjoyed and even threw a banquet to celebrate his admission.

Unfortunately, Wen Yixing was too busy at that time and had no time to come back.

Upon returning this time, Wen Yixing also prepared a large red envelope for Wen Yichen.

Because of frequent training, Wen Yichen has become much darker and more muscular than before.

Besides Wen Yichen, Wen Jianguo and Li Hongmei also came to the airport. As soon as Fang Jingyao saw his maternal grandparents, he happily rushed over to them: "Grandpa and Grandma!"

With their son successfully passing his college entrance exams and their daughter getting into a doctoral program, their business has been doing quite well these past two years.

Wen Jianguo and Li Hongmei were doing well in everything, and they started to dress up nicely, looking much younger than before.

"Yixing has become so beautiful!" Li Hongmei held Wen Yixing's hand, unable to resist smiling as she looked her over. This girl was perfect in every way! She just kept getting better and better the more she looked at her!

Perhaps because she had lived abroad for two years, Wen Yixing's appearance had changed slightly. Her hair was permed into soft waves, and she dressed fashionably and beautifully, clearly a girl who had returned from the city.

Many people are going back to their hometowns for the Spring Festival, and there are many more cars parked on the roadside than in previous years.

The streets were bustling with people, and every household was busy hanging red lanterns and pasting Spring Festival couplets.

The town hasn't changed much, except the government has repaired the roads, making them much easier to travel on than before.

It started snowing shortly after I got home.

Fang Jingyao liked playing in the snow, so he went to the yard to hang lanterns with his uncle.

The house was warm and cozy with the heating on, and Li Hongmei was preparing to make dumplings for Wen Yixing.

During the past two years of studying away from home, Wen Yixing has hardly been able to eat dumplings from her hometown. She is also too busy to cook, and most of the time the family chef cooks for her.

Having not cooked for a long time, Wen Yixing felt that her cooking skills had become a bit rusty.

Fortunately, her skill was still there. Wen Yixing made two dumplings, and the feeling returned.

In the past, she was the one who made dumplings for the Fang family during the Chinese New Year. Since the Fang family didn't know how to make them, and the family's cook had gone home for the New Year, Wen Yixing would make dumplings for them herself.

She did everything herself, from kneading the dough to cooking the dumplings.

While making dumplings at home, Wen Yixing couldn't help but think of Shen Jingshao.

Last year, she did not return to China; she spent the New Year in France.

On New Year's Day, she was still working on her thesis in her study. When she came out, steaming dumplings were already cooked on the table.

It tasted great. Wen Yixing initially thought it was made by her family's chef, but later found out it was made by Shen Jingshao.

Since her divorce, she has rarely cooked, and Shen Jingshao has never tasted the dumplings she makes.

After finishing making dumplings, Wen Yixing washed her hands and went to her room to call Shen Jingshao.

There was a noticeable commotion on Shen Jingshao's end, but his voice still carried a hint of amusement as he softly asked her, "What's wrong? Have you eaten?"

"We'll get ready to eat soon." Wen Yixing paused. "What are you doing?"

Shen Jingshao: "At the Shen family's house, and where are you?"

Wen Yixing: "Just finished making dumplings... Actually, nothing much happened, I just missed you."

Shen Jingshao paused for two seconds, then said, "I miss you too. Are you coming back the day after tomorrow?"

Wen Yixing: "Okay, let's go back."

After thinking for a moment, Wen Yixing called out again, "Chen Jingshao."

Shen Jingshao: "Hmm?"

Wen Yixing said softly, "When we get back, I'll make dumplings for you too."

Shen Jingshao laughed: "No need, it's too tiring. If you don't like cooking, I'll do it."

Wen Yixing's voice was a little muffled: "I wanted to wrap it for you."

Shen Jingshao noticed that her mood was a little off, so he immediately changed his words and said, "It must be delicious."

Wen Yixing: "You've eaten it?"

Actually, Shen Jingshao had eaten these dumplings once a long time ago. Fang Shiyan had eaten out and didn't want them anymore. His assistant was about to throw them away when Shen Jingshao and Lu Xing happened to pass by and asked for them.

The dumplings were still piping hot and tasted delicious; he remembered them for a long time.

Shen Jingshao didn't want to lie to her, so he smiled and said softly, "I ate it once and I've remembered it for a long time."

After all, Shen Jingshao's relationship with Fang Jingyao used to be quite good. It must have been when he occasionally came to Fang Jingyao's house for dinner. Shen Jingshao didn't come to Fang Jingyao's house often before, and it had been a long time since then. Wen Yixing couldn't remember what Shen Jingshao ate back then. She didn't think much about it. She just looked at Shen Jingshao in the video and said, "I'll make you a lot of dumplings in the future. I'll make dumplings with many different kinds of fillings. You can try them all."
