"If couples who are in love come to worship in front of the old peach tree, they may receive peach blossoms and peaches, but of course not everyone can get them."

"This is information I can find online. I heard the most precious one is the peach branch from Haihui Temple." Wang Cancan waved his arms. "It's said that only couples with deep love and loyalty can obtain a peach branch. The last couple to receive a peach branch was a couple who had been married for over fifty years."

"Of course, that's what I know."

Wang Cancan said with a smile: "What did the old monk say to you?"

Xie Jing thought of the old monk's words and couldn't help but smile: "Extreme affection and true nature."

"That's great," Wang Cancan said, crossing her arms and resting them on her chin in envy. "As expected, love is sweeter when you watch others fall in love."

Cheng Shuying caressed Xie Jing's hair lovingly, and her eyes softened when she looked at Zhou Jiyun again. "Love and affection—that's a truly high evaluation." Xie Jing had found her ideal life partner, so she was naturally happy for her.

Even Yun Lan was staring at the peach branch in a daze. After a long moment, Yun Lan said angrily, "We have a very good relationship and often come to worship, so why don't you give us a peach branch?"

Cheng Shuying: "Your father is jealous."

Xie Jing shook her head. "Let's take the peach branches and graft them when we get back. We'll then transplant them to the garden of Bishui Jiayuan. Then we can enjoy the blossoms, eat peaches, and brew peach blossom wine."

Cheng Shuying would not object: "Okay, such a precious peach branch should be taken good care of."

Yun Lan was indeed jealous. He believed that his love for Cheng Shuying was deep and loyal, and that they had been together through thick and thin for over twenty years. He came to Haihui Temple every year to burn incense and pray, and donated a lot of money. How could his and Cheng Shuying's love for each other over twenty years not compare to the love that Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing had shared for just six months?

Zhou Jiyun said nothing. How could he not know that Yun Lan was feeling unbalanced? But what could he do? He and Xie Jing had suffered so much in their previous life, and now, after two lives as human beings, they had finally gotten what they wanted. The old monk's words about true love and true nature being weathered by hardships were not wrong.

Whatever, let my father-in-law be jealous. We are family after all, what else can we do?

Yunxu's friends were truly enlightened. The key point was that no one had expected that a legendary item like the peach branch could actually be obtained by someone.

Although I had heard rumors before, I had never seen it with my own eyes, nor was it someone close to me, so I just heard about it. But now that someone I know has actually received the peach branch, it is almost like the seal of the marriage tree has been finalized, and everyone's mood is naturally different.

But what is this subtle emotion? After much deliberation, the final word is envy.

Yes, I am envious.

Seeing Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing snuggling together and talking, and looking at each other from time to time, many people felt sour in their hearts. Many people verbally disdain love, but deep down, does he really not want to find a close partner?

Obviously not, it's just that love takes time and effort to cultivate, but the pace of society is too fast and people's hearts are too impetuous, so it's difficult for anyone to calm down and seriously cultivate a relationship. Most people are just pushed forward with the flow.

Cheng Shuying patted Xie Jing's hand and said, "It's getting late, shall we go home? There shouldn't be any guests at home by now."

Xie Jing naturally agreed: "Okay."

She shook the peach branch and said, "I want to plant it as soon as I get home."

Cheng Shuying couldn't help but reveal a faint smile: "Okay, your grandfather also likes to grow flowers after retirement. He has a lot of flower pots over there. I'll find the best one for you when I get home."

Yun Lan snorted, clearly still feeling depressed. He felt like he had lost to Zhou Jiyun. Yun Lan, who had always been strong, could he allow himself to lose to his son-in-law?

Cheng Shuying also noticed Yun Lan's expression. She winked at Xie Jing and then walked over to Yun Lan. Yun Lan glanced at her and suddenly whispered, "Shall we go and worship too?"

Cheng Shuying smiled helplessly and said, "There are thousands of kinds of emotions in this world. You can't just put yourself in someone else's shoes when you see them. We always go to worship, and it's true that we didn't get any peach branches, but can you say that there is no love between us?"

"Don't get too attached to it."

Yun Lan was discouraged: "I feel like I've lost."

"No way," Cheng Shuying suddenly raised the corners of her mouth: "You just didn't get the peach branch, but in my heart, you are the best and the strongest."

"Without your support along the way, I don't believe I could have lasted all these years."

Yun Lan's eyes also reddened: "You are the best too. You are right. I shouldn't be too obsessed with appearances. Our feelings don't need external evidence."

Wang Cancan, who had overheard something, had sparkling eyes. She was a fan of couples regardless of age, as couples of every age had their sweet moments. Now Wang Cancan knew where the sweet moments of Yunlan and Cheng Shuying lay. Wasn't this better than those middle-aged idol dramas?

Cheng Shuying was quite pleased with the first few sentences, but she felt a little helpless when she heard the last one. Although the meaning was that, it still felt like sour grapes.

Everyone was very excited when they came here, but they were very silent when they left. The key point was Yunxu's friends. To be honest, seeing such a beautiful relationship, everyone would naturally yearn for it.

Perhaps it was time for them to start a relationship? Just like Xie Jing had said, they should work hard to maintain their relationship?

Xie Jing wanted to send Wang Cancan back home. After all, she was her classmate. If she ignored her, it would not be a good way to entertain guests. Wang Cancan also had her own thoughts: "Your parents are here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to send me off alone?"

Xie Jing: "It's not inconvenient, it just means you'll be home a little late. We're classmates, so it's my duty to take you home."

Wang Cancan was about to say something else when Xiao Bo suddenly spoke up: "Let me take her home. Her father and I are colleagues, so her father will feel at ease if I take her home, and it won't worry you guys."

Wang Cancan waved her hand: "No, no, I can just take the bus at the subway station..."

Xiao Bo lowered his eyes to look at Wang Cancan. Wang Cancan paused and suddenly smiled very sweetly: "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Xiao. Jingjing, we'll leave first."

Xie Jing raised her eyebrows and suddenly smiled: "Okay, send me a message when you get home."

Wang Cancan waved at everyone: "No problem, Brother Xiao and I will leave first! Goodbye everyone! Happy New Year!"

Yun Xu was stunned for a long moment before exclaiming, "When did Xiao Bo become so enthusiastic? He even offered to take a girl home?"

Xie Jing: "He and Cancan's father are colleagues. I met him this morning. Maybe that's the reason."

As for the real guess, Xie Jing would not say it out loud. The little seed of love that had just sprouted should be carefully nurtured.
