"After breakfast, I'll take you to get some glasses. I'm really sorry about your face." Li Xia still wanted to apologize for her older brother's behavior.
Su Yuan, holding his chopsticks, chuckled and said, "It's alright, my face will be fine in a few days. I can manage my own affairs. You go to work."
Today is not Sunday, so Li Xia should still be at work.
Li Xia then said, "If you can manage on your own, then I won't bother with you anymore."
Thinking about how he looked just now, and how he couldn't see the road clearly, Li Xia was still a little worried.
These glasses are broken; it will probably take several days to get new ones.
As she spoke, Li Xia took out some money from her pocket and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the money and receipt for buying glasses. I've prepared everything for you."
Since their own brother hit someone, the family should be the ones to pay for it.
Su Yuan stared at the money and the ticket for a long while, then said, "No need, I actually..."
"I'll go with you," Li Xia said directly.
She was still a little worried, saying, "I can't even see the road clearly. I don't know what might happen if I bump into someone."
Su Yuan actually wanted to say that he had a spare pair of glasses.
He just wondered if it would take him a while to get his glasses, so he could stay at Li Xia's house.
"Okay, then I can pay you the wages for the leave you took." Su Yuan thought that she took leave to take care of him, so he should return the money to her in cash.
Upon hearing the word "money," Li Xia's expression became somewhat subtle. She then said, "Since you're staying at my house and using my things, shouldn't you pay me too? It must be at least several thousand yuan. You should pay me for that too! I used to bring you food for two years, didn't you pay me for that too?"
"How much do you want? I'll give you..." Su Yuan seemed to realize that Li Xia's mood was not right, so he stopped talking and silently lowered his head to eat his noodles.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Xia's expression slowly returned to normal.
We continued eating breakfast in silence.
No one said anything. After breakfast, they went to get their glasses fitted together.
Liu Yuanzhu and Duan Yueman checked out of the guesthouse together and headed to the train station with their luggage.
They didn't tell anyone the exact time they left; only the two of them and Xia knew.
Li Xia had to go to work and didn't have time to see him off, so they planned to leave quietly like this.
Upon arriving at the train station, Duan Yueman still took one last, reluctant look at the place.
"Let's go, we'll have a chance to come back and visit again when we have time," Liu Yuanzhu said, patting Duan Yueman's shoulder gently to comfort her.
Duan Yueman could only offer comfort at the time, because they knew that once they left, they might never come back.
"let's go."
Duan Yueman said to Liu Yuanzhu.
The two had purchased deluxe sleeper berths and were staying in the same room.
Duan Yueman helped Liu Yuanzhu sit down and then put his luggage away.
It takes a day and a night to get to Xicheng from here, and I estimate we'll arrive around 9 p.m. on the second night.
Fortunately, I managed to get a premium sleeper berth, so it wasn't too noisy or tiring.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Yuanzhu thought about what he had done for her. She seemed fine, but a night had passed, and he wondered if she was feeling better.
Duan Yueman nodded, blushing, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
It must have been tough for them; it was their first time experiencing this.
Moreover, Liu Yuanzhu really didn't understand anything, and after fiddling around nervously and anxiously for a long time, he finally found it.
Liu Yuanzhu was not satisfied at all. Duan Yueman had started to refuse earlier, constantly saying that she was uncomfortable.
He couldn't accept it, so he finished the task while trying to comfort him.
After only two visits, Duan Yueman begged him to stop exercising, worried about his injuries and thinking about their upcoming marriage registration, so they didn't continue.
In retrospect, she really shouldn't have agreed to it under such a hasty circumstances.
"Lie down for a while. I've prepared food and hot water. I'll stay by your side." Liu Yuanzhu's body has basically recovered, and he doesn't actually need Duan Yueman's care.
Duan Yueman was still very tired, but she didn't refuse. She just lay down to rest face to face with him.
Liu Yuanzhu looked at Duan Yueman, his eyes overflowing with love.
It's unbelievable that he married the person he'd loved for so many years.
Duan Yueman turned to face Liu Yuanzhu and said, "Brother Liu, when we get to Xicheng, we'll write home and tell them we're married, okay?"
"Yes, that's fine." Liu Yuanzhu was fine with either way.
Duan Yueman didn't say anything more, pulled the covers over her head, and closed her eyes.
So this is what it's like to be with someone you like.
Recalling the scene of Liu Yuanzhu kissing her, both beautiful and absurd, she could never help but suppress her smile.
When they arrived in Xicheng, Wei Yuelan drove to the train station to pick them up and take them back to the Wei family home.
They were first arranged to live in the Wei family's old house. This house had been allocated to others as dormitories during a special period, but it has now been returned to them.
The room has also been renovated.
"Come in, the rooms here have been renovated. My workplace is quite far from here, so I don't usually stay here." Wei Yuelan carried their small bags and luggage in. "I live in the West District and won't be staying here, but you can stay here."
“We applied for a house, and it should be ready soon. This is your family’s ancestral home, and it’s not appropriate for us to live here for a long time.” Wei Yuelan is her aunt’s daughter. Her aunt and uncle passed away early, leaving her and her grandfather to depend on each other. They haven’t helped her at all over the years.
"It's alright, whatever you want. I've always been easygoing and don't like to say fancy things. But this place is quite close to where my cousin and Duan's workplaces are." Wei Yuelan knew that her cousin was just like that.
She didn't insist on keeping her.
"Here are the keys. The room is ready. I'm going back now. My factory is opening tomorrow, and I'm very busy."
After tossing the keys to Liu Yuanzhu, he glanced at them and said, "Well, the ingredients are ready, you can cook your own meals."
"Sister Wei, be careful on the road."
“Now it’s my turn to call you sister-in-law,” Wei Yuelan reminded her with a sip of her drink.
Duan Yueman glanced shyly at Liu Yuanzhu, then they watched Wei Yuelan leave together.
"Let us make you a bowl of noodles." Liu Yuanzhu thought that she must be very tired after sitting on the train for a day and a night.
Duan Yueman did not stop her, and then said, "Then I will go and prepare to make the bed."
Liu Yuanzhu was overjoyed. They were husband and wife now, so they should be living together.
The division of labor was clear: one person was cooking, and the other was taking care of the bed.
Soon it will be time to eat noodles. Liu Yuanzhu cooked two eggs for Duan Yueman. He hadn't had a good rest these days because he was taking care of her.
She will be going to work in a few days, while he can wait until after the Lunar New Year to report for duty due to health reasons.
After finishing their noodles, the two of them took a shower and rested without chatting for long.
