Time flies, and it is the day for Lu Jinyan and the others to leave. Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong went to Lu Jinyan's house together to see them off.

Su Ruoli handed over the clothes she had made for Lu Jinyan, "This is a wedding gift for you, in case you can't go."

Zhang Sitong also handed over the package she had prepared, "It's for you."

"Thank you. I've accepted the gifts. I'll write to you when a date is set. You must come." Lu Jinyan said.

"We'll try our best." Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong looked at each other and said in unison.

"I want to praise you two for having such a good understanding." Lu Jinyan said.

The three of them smiled at each other and sat on the bed chatting.

At this time, Liu Kaifan came over and said, "We have to go. If we are any later, we will miss the bus."

Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong stood up when they saw Liu Kaifan coming in.

"I've packed my things too, let's go now." Lu Jinyan said. Lu Jinyan and Liu Kaifan walked out of the house with their luggage, and Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong followed behind to see them off.

Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong accompanied Liu Kaifan and Lu Jinyan all the way to the village entrance and saw them get on the ox cart.

Liu Kaifan had hired the ox cart the day before.

"Have a safe journey." Su Ruoli said softly.

"Remember to write to me when you get there." Zhang Sitong said.

Lu Jinyan smiled and waved goodbye to them, "I'm leaving, don't miss me."

"Narcissistic, who would want to think of you?" Su Ruoli said with a smile.

"Yes, Sister Ruoli just needs to miss my brother, why would she miss me?" Lu Jinyan joked.

"You little girl, be careful on the road. We'll talk next time we meet. Hurry up, or you'll miss the bus." Su Ruoli tapped Lu Jinyan's head.

After the ox cart had gone far away, Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong walked towards home while chatting.

When they got home, they both went back to their rooms.

Su Ruoli locked the door, entered the space, sat on the mat beside the spiritual spring, and began to read the martial arts secret book that Lu Chen had read.

I would demonstrate it to myself from time to time, and the days passed one by one.

Half a month has passed since Lu Jinyan returned to Beijing, and the Chinese New Year is getting closer.

Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong did not receive a letter from Lu Jinyan, but received a letter from Lu Chen.

That day, Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong were sitting in the kitchen eating dinner. When they heard a knock on the door, Zhang Sitong put down her bowl and went to open the door.

"Lu Chen?" Zhang Sitong exclaimed in surprise.

"Sitong, where is Xiaolier?" Lu Chen asked with some urgency in his tone.

"Is she eating in the kitchen? I'm done eating anyway, you can go find her." After saying that, Zhang Sitong went back to her room.

"Okay, thank you!" Lu Chen thanked him and walked towards the kitchen with his long legs.

Lu Chen stood quietly at the kitchen door, staring at Su Ruoli's slender back.

The afterglow of dusk shines through the window, gently caressing her hair, outlining a peaceful and beautiful picture.

The sunlight seemed to cover Su Ruoli with a layer of golden gauze, making her figure appear particularly soft and warm. Lu Chen could not help but be attracted by the scene before him.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Come over for dinner. Who's knocking on the door?" Su Ruoli asked.

"I knocked." Lu Chen's low voice came from behind.

Su Ruoli turned her head suddenly, a look of joy on her face, "Lu Chen, why are you here?"

Lu Chen walked over to Su Ruoli and sat down. "I missed you, so I came here."

"I'm fine. Have you eaten? I'll get you some rice." Su Ruoli stood up and found a bowl to serve him a bowl of rice without waiting for Lu Chen to answer.

Lu Chen took the bowl and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li'er."

Su Ruoli smiled and said, "I only served one bowl of rice, you've worked so hard, eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."

Su Ruoli supported her chin with both hands and stared at Lu Chen.

"Would you like to eat something?" Lu Chen asked.

"I'm full, you eat quickly." Su Ruoli shook her head.

Lu Chen finished the rice in the bowl in a few bites. After the meal, Lu Chen cleaned the kitchen and followed Su Ruoli into the room.

After locking the door, the two of them slipped into the space. "How do you have time to come?" Su Ruoli asked as soon as they entered the space.

"My work has been arranged. I came here to ask you when we will return to Beijing." Lu Chen pulled Su Ruoli over and held her in his arms.

"It's done so quickly, it's quite efficient." Su Ruoli said with a smile.

"Don't I just want to be with you as soon as possible? Of course it has to be quick." Lu Chen rested his chin on Su Ruoli's head.

"Speaking of going back to Beijing, Jinyan and the others have been back for so long, have you set the wedding date?" Su Ruoli looked up at Lu Chen.

"Okay, grandpa called me." Lu Chen said.

Su Ruoli withdrew from Lu Chen's arms, took Lu Chen's hand and went to the mat beside the spiritual spring. The two sat face to face in front of the small table.

Su Ruoli asked: "When? Why didn't you tell us?"

Lu Chen replied, "The twenty-second day of the twelfth lunar month."

"It's the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and today is already the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month. There are only a few days left. When are you going back?" Su Ruoli said.

"I'll go back whenever you do," Lu Chen said.

"Yes, yes, yes. Tell Sitong tomorrow and see if she will come back." Su Ruoli said excitedly.

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly, leaned over the table, and blocked Su Ruoli's chattering mouth with his mouth.

Su Ruoli blushed and pushed Lu Chen away, "Hate it, let's talk business."

Lu Chen looked at her shy appearance and felt more and more impatient. He was not in a hurry, because she would be his sooner or later anyway.

"Let's go back and get our wedding done together." Lu Chen said.

Su Ruoli lowered her head, patted her blushing face, and said softly, "Yeah."

Lu Chen took Su Ruoli's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk."

The two of them walked hand in hand in the space. Everything here was so quiet and peaceful, making people feel happy.

"We can take walks like this often in the future," said Lu Chen.

Su Ruoli nodded, "Okay, let's take walks together often in the future."

"Can we go back to Beijing the day after tomorrow?" Lu Chen turned and looked at Su Ruoli.

"Sure, it's okay now anyway. The captain should let them go." Su Ruoli said, "Then let's go see grandma and the others tomorrow."

"Yeah, he's going to marry someone's beloved granddaughter. I should go discuss the betrothal gifts and other things with grandma and her family." Lu Chen nodded seriously.

Su Ruoli laughed and pulled Lu Chen back and forth to every corner of the space.

Not until her mental strength was exhausted did Su Ruoli pull Lu Chen back to the spiritual spring. Lu Chen poured her a glass of spiritual spring water and handed it to her.

After drinking the spiritual spring water, the two of them lay on the mat hand in hand, looking at the sky in space.

The sky in space is always blue, without any clouds, just like the blue ocean, boundless.
