"Okay, we'll be going now."

Grandma Xiao kept watching the two of them until they were completely out of sight before she turned and walked back with her cane.

"Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? I grew up here and have a close relationship with my grandma and uncle, so they're bound to be more attentive to you. If you're not used to it, I'll go talk to them about it."

After all, she was the girl he liked, and Xiao Yuheng was really afraid that Gu An'an would dump him if she got upset.

"I know, I'm actually quite envious of you, having such a loving family."

Unlike her, whether in her past life or now, she has very little kinship.

Hearing her words, Xiao Yuheng recalled what had happened that time, and his heart ached slightly. "It's okay. Don't think about those unworthy people anymore. My family will be your family too, and they will treat you just as well."

Xiao Yuheng was so focused on comforting Gu An'an that he didn't notice the stone in the middle of the road. By the time he realized it, it was too late to turn around, and he could only exclaim, "Hold on tight!"

Gu An'an also felt the swaying and immediately reached out to hug Xiao Yuheng's waist.

The warmth of his arm seeped through the thin fabric to Xiao Yuheng's heart, instantly turning his face and ears bright red, and the car, which had finally managed to stabilize, swayed again.

Fortunately, he was tall and had long legs, so he reacted immediately and managed to steady the bicycle again.

Are you alright?

"No, it's nothing."

Feeling the man's stiff body, Gu An'an could guess what Xiao Yuheng's expression was like at that moment, and found it very cute, so her hands began to wander.

Of course, there was nothing inappropriate for children; it was just that my fingers moved slightly.

These two actions were enough to make the innocent young man Xiao Yuheng unable to bear it.

"An'an, don't move."

Gu An'an raised an eyebrow, "Don't you like it?"

Xiao Yuheng quickly shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't like it; he liked it too much and was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.

Gu An'an was just teasing him; she didn't really intend to do anything outdoors.

In later generations, if someone were to film them seeking thrills in the wild, it would definitely become a trending topic. Let alone now, who knows what would happen to the two of them.

Gu An'an not only didn't move, but also grabbed the back seat cushion again.

As the warmth around his waist left, Xiao Yuheng felt a pang of loss once again.

Upon arriving at the commune, the two went straight to the photo studio.

"Master, could you please take a few photos?"

Inside the photo studio sat an elderly photographer in his forties, wearing glasses and organizing photos ordered by customers. Upon hearing this, he looked up and saw them, his eyes lighting up.

Both of them are perfect in terms of looks and physique, and it's not that they're picky; who doesn't like to be photogenic?

"Okay, what kind of film do you want to shoot?"

Xiao Yuheng quickly said, "Let's take a group photo."

After saying that, he looked at Gu An'an again and added, "Take a few more solo photos of her."

His mother loves taking photos. In her words, she wants to take as many beautiful photos as possible while she's young so that she can look back on them and brag about them when she's old.

Not to mention that An An is so beautiful, it would be a waste not to take a picture as a memento.

"Okay, come over here."

After taking a few pictures indoors, Gu An'an noticed the scenery in the courtyard and asked her master to take a few more pictures of them from outside.

"You little girl, you really know how to pose. That's it, good."

Then, looking at Master Xiao Yuheng, who was as still as a wooden stake, he shook his head. Luckily, he was handsome, otherwise, standing next to the young girl would have been a disaster.

It's an eyesore.

"Boys, come closer, don't freeze up, smile, yes, that's it."

The photo shoot only took about half an hour, since photo studios these days don't offer makeup or costume changes.

"Master, can I pick it up tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? That'll have to be expedited."

Upon hearing that he could get it, Xiao Yuheng immediately pulled out a few bills from his pocket. "Then please expedite it for us, Master. I'll come to pick it up tomorrow afternoon."

The experienced craftsman glanced at the money on the table; how could he possibly be unwilling?

"Okay, we close at five o'clock sharp. Remember to come early."

After taking the photos, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where Gu An'an immediately took a liking to a women's bicycle.

Although it was a women's bicycle, it was only slightly lighter than a men's 28-inch bicycle, and in terms of appearance, it certainly couldn't compare to bicycles of later generations.

"You want this one?"

Xiao Yuheng immediately noticed Gu An'an's gaze. Before Gu An'an could speak, the saleswoman next to her had already started introducing the products.

"Young lady, you have great taste. We only brought this one women's bicycle this time. It will definitely be a head-turner when you ride it."

"And look at this height, it's much more convenient and safer to ride than a men's bicycle."

What she said was true; if this car were released in a big city, there would definitely be a lot of people vying for it.

In their area, young women and wives do like it quite a bit, but when it comes to actually buying one, they still choose the men's 28-inch model.

The reason is simple: anyone can ride a men's bike, but it doesn't look quite right for the men in the house to ride a women's bike.

And so, the women's bicycle remained unsold for over a month.

These two people in front of me, judging from their clothes and demeanor, don't seem to be short of money. Why not take this opportunity to sell the bicycle?

"How about this one? How much?"

"Bicycle tickets are an extra 180 yuan."

Gu An'an took out the bicycle ticket, and Xiao Yuheng took out 180 yuan and put them on the counter together. The saleswoman was delighted by their quick and decisive actions.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll issue you the invoice."

Finally, the car was sold. The saleswoman was in a good mood, and her words were naturally sweet. "Would you like to buy anything else? This young lady is so pretty, you can't treat her badly. You should get her the three turns and one sound."

Knowing what his elder sister had misunderstood, Xiao Yuheng quickly interrupted, "Elder sister, we're not ready to do anything yet."

Buying a car without doing anything, wow, how generous!

Why didn't she meet such a rich man before? He's such a good catch for that pig at home that can't even eat fine food.

"Oh, that's a misunderstanding, eldest sister. But the young lady is so beautiful, I wonder how many people are eyeing her. We must hurry up and marry her before we can feel at ease."

These words resonated with Xiao Yuheng, but since they had only just started dating, he dared not be presumptuous and could only nod with a smile.

"Big sister, let's look around some more, and we'll come back to get the tickets later."

"Alright, you can go ahead."

The two started browsing other counters, and Xiao Yuheng wanted to buy Gu An'an anything good.

Just then, a woman's voice reached my ears.

"Brother Xiao, when did you get back?"
