Mu Sen looked at the time. Today was Friday, and it was almost six o'clock when she got off work. She hadn't visited her for three days. It shouldn't be too obvious if she went to see her now.
Mu Sen calculated the time and hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't resist missing her. He didn't care whether she could see his thoughts or not, so he bought some vegetables, took some daily necessities, and drove to the edge of City A.
There are rural areas here with children from poor families. They don’t have money to attend schools in the city, so they can only study in the village.
I am tired and I am teaching here.
After leaving Si Youli, she went to the place where her mother and her father lived, in a very remote place. At that time, they were not rich, but just a young couple.
Although life is poor, the days are very warm.
Yu Yan walked the path they had walked, felt the scenery they had seen, and suddenly understood what stability was. What was love? Strong love could not support life, but mutual support could last a lifetime. A simple and ordinary life was true, and it was also happiness.
She will live her life as her parents wish, not seeking wealth or fame, but just wanting to live a peaceful and stable life.
So she came here. She earned a few thousand yuan a month, had free accommodation, and the villagers were simple and honest. They treated her with sincerity. The children here were eager for books, and seeing them eager for knowledge, gathering around her to ask about the outside world, gave her a sense of accomplishment. It turned out that others needed her. It felt good to be needed.
Yu Yan, as usual, bought some groceries after work and went home to cook. When she reached the door, she suddenly noticed that the light was on inside the house. She sighed and knew that he had come again. Since they met, he had often come to bring her things in the past six months. The things he brought were not expensive, but daily necessities that could not be bought here.
At first, he came once a month, then half a month, then once a week. The last time he came was 3 days ago, and the time he came was getting longer and longer, and the intervals between visits were getting shorter and shorter.
They were just acquaintances. She truly felt unworthy of his kindness, and she couldn't offer anything in return. All she could do seemed to be a simple thank you, but in today's society, thank you was meaningless; it was merely a lip service. She'd told him not to send her anything more, not to come over again, but he persisted.
After saying it several times, she had no choice but to agree.
He sighed slightly, then opened the door and walked in.
After all, this is in the village, and the house given is not very good. There is a simple bed, and then a kitchen and bathroom. It is very small. This is still the best house in the village. However, Yu Yan cleaned it very cleanly and decorated it very warmly, giving it a homey feeling.
When Yu Yan opened the door, he saw Mu Sen wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen.
On the table were two dishes he had prepared and a soup.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Sen turned around and smiled shyly, "Well, you're back. I thought you would be back soon, so I prepared dinner in advance, and you just happened to make it. Go wash your hands first. You can eat after my dish is ready."
Mu Sen spoke to her in a relaxed and natural manner, without any of the nervousness he had at the beginning. This was also a process that they had gradually become familiar with each other over the past six months. At the beginning, when he faced her, he was very stiff, not knowing what to say or what to do.
Even in her presence, he would blush and become nervous. He had always known she was deeply insecure. If she discovered his feelings, she would run as far away as possible. So, when he couldn't control himself, he would turn away. Hide for a while. But now, as they spent more and more time together, they seemed to have developed a tacit understanding. She gave him the key to the house, allowing him into her private territory.
She also slowly accepted what she brought to him.
Things between them seemed to be getting better and better.
Yu Yan heard Mu Sen's words, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll wash my hands and come back soon."
Mu Sen looked at her, smiled, and said nothing, just concentrating on the dish in his hand.
Yu Yan was indeed very fast. When he came out after washing his hands, Mu Sen’s dish was just out of the pot.
Mu Sen pulled out a stool and waited for Yu Yan to sit down before sitting across from her. While helping her with the rice, he said, "This is a new dish I've learned these days. Try it and see if it tastes good. I'll make it a few more times, and it might get better. If you like it, I'll make it for you often in the future."
Yu Yan took a bite and said, "It's delicious. You can make it yourself. After all, you're very busy at the police station. It takes a lot of time to keep running to my place. It wouldn't be good if it delayed your work."
It takes five hours to drive from the city. A round trip would take ten hours, making it unrealistic to come and go the same day. But there's only one bed in the house, and it's not convenient for them, a single man and a single woman, to live together.
