Chapter 29
There is a seat on the balcony. Ming Yunle sits here drinking calming tea and enjoying the night breeze. He feels really relaxed and happy.
Xia Chen also came over and sat with him, leaving Ruan Yan and Qin Bai alone in the room.
One of them was working seriously, and the other was watching seriously, and neither of them noticed what was happening on the balcony.
They drank freshly poured tea on the balcony, and Xia Chen asked, "Are you happy today? Although your smile is not obvious, from what I know about you, you must be very happy."
Ming Yunle: "Very happy."
Xia Chen said, "Ruan Yan is amazing. You didn't see it. I was stunned when he made the cake. How could he make a cake, and make it so well! With his consent, I took a picture of him trying so hard to make the cake for you. I was having so much fun just now that I forgot to send it to you. I'll send it to you later."
Ming Yunle took out the photos on his phone and said, "I also took a photo of the cake as a souvenir."
Xia Chen recounted what happened this morning: "Even Gu Jing didn't know when Ruan Yan became so good at making cakes. We watched for a long time, but he found it too noisy and kicked us out."
When Ming Yunle thought of that scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Xia Chen continued, "I haven't cooked for a while, but I'm still pretty good at it."
Thinking of Xia Chen's craftsmanship, Ming Yunle nodded in agreement.
"My cooking has come to an end, and my photography studies have also come to an end. I will pick up a new hobby when the time comes."
Ming Yunle asked: "Don't you have any new hobbies now?"
"No, I'm still searching. It's not easy to find something you particularly enjoy doing at one time."
Yun Le was deeply touched after hearing his explanation.
Especially for someone like Xia Chen who likes new things, it is even more difficult to find, because Xia Chen has tried quite a lot of things since he was a child.
"What do you think of archery?" Ming Yunle suggested.
"Archery?" Xia Chen thought for a moment and said, "It seems really good. I can give it a try."
They sat there for a while to enjoy the breeze, then felt a little cold. Just as they were about to go back, they saw someone not far away.
Xia Chen looked over and saw that it was Gu Jing who was taking a walk outside.
Xia Chen was hesitating whether to go for a walk together when he received Gu Jing's invitation. He replied to Gu Jing's message and Gu Jing walked towards him.
Gu Jing saw Xia Chen and Ming Yunle sitting on the terrace waving at him, so he waved back.
"I'll go down first." Xia Chen said this and left.
Ming Yunle also returned to the room. Qin Bai had finished his work, and Ruan Yan had put down the book.
Instead of going back to bed, they went to the rec room to play board games.
"Are you sleepy?"
Seeing Ming Yunle yawn, Ruan Yan looked at the time and it was indeed time for Ming Yunle to go to bed.
Ming Yunle took a quick shower and blew her hair dry. After getting ready, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
Ming Yunle has a very good sleep quality. He never woke up and slept until dawn.

It’s a sunny day today, but Ming Yunle didn’t go home.
He first went to find the book he had not read, then took the book to the room he had been to last night to read.
After Ming Yunle put the book down, he didn't rush to read it. He first went to the bar to make himself a cup of coffee, and then sat in the seat where Qin Bai sat yesterday.
He read for a while, and when he got tired he went to the terrace to look at the flowers, plants and sky outside.
The spring air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. He heard birds singing and looked towards the sound. He saw several birds perched on the trees, whose names he couldn't remember.
He watched the birds singing in the trees, watched them fly here and there, and lost track of time.
Ming Yunle walked out of the room, found a camera, and sat back down.
I pointed the camera at the bird in the tree and pressed the shutter.
Although the learning time was short, at least it was not in vain.
Ming Yunle's photography skills have improved so much compared to before. He took a lot of photos, picked out a few of his favorites to have printed, and then went out for a meal.
After dinner, Ming Yunle returned to that position and opened the book.
This is a travelogue, one of Ming Yunle's favorite types of books.
Ming Yunle imagined the scenes in the book and couldn't help but feel fascinated.
The last time I traveled to an unfamiliar city was around this time last year. Although I went to City K later, it was not an unfamiliar city after all.
Where are you going next time?
Ming Yunle didn't think about it anymore. He planned to think about it in detail after finishing reading the book.
It would be best if everyone could go together, but if not, it would also be a good experience for him to walk around outside alone.
Ming Yunle turned another page of the book.
He was a little sleepy in the afternoon, so he found a suitable position and slept for twenty minutes. He didn't sleep too long, otherwise it would affect the quality of his sleep at night.
Ming Yunle woke up and continued reading.
Time passed quickly today. Ming Yunle looked outside again and it was almost dusk.
The book I read today was very thin, and Ming Yunle finished it in less than a day.
After he finished reading, he went to the room where the books were kept.
He planned to continue like this recently and finish reading all the books he had set his eyes on last night.
It's nice to be able to set aside some time to read books.
Ming Yunle put the book back, then took out all the books that interested him and walked into the room with them.
But this time he put the book down and left. He would continue reading tomorrow. Nothing should be rushed.
He spent three days here, and Xia Chen came with his new hobby.
"Guitar?"
Xia Chen said, "Yes. I saw someone playing guitar and thought it was a good hobby."
Ming Yunle asked in surprise, "Haven't you learned this before?"
Xia Chen was confused: "No."
Then he might have remembered it wrongly.
"If you're interested, I can introduce you to my previous teacher."
Xia Chen: "By the way, cousin, don't you know how to play the guitar?"
"Um."
Xia Chen: "But I haven't decided whether to learn it or not. Please wait for a while. I'll find you when I've made up my mind."

Ming Yunle finished reading the book and prepared to go home after spending a few pleasant days.
He was not going back to his parents' home, but to his own home in City A.
He lived very close to Ming Yunyuan, and he ran into Ming Yunyuan who was about to return home from a business trip.
Ming Yunyuan saw Ming Yunle and asked, "How did you know you were home?"
Ming Yunle was speechless. After all, it was his own home. Could it be that he would not come back?
Ming Yunyuan asked, "How many days will you stay this time?"
Hearing this question, Ming Yunle hesitated for a moment and said, "About four or five days."
Ming Yunyuan smiled, and he knew it.
Ming Yunle said, "Besides, I'm also worried about my flowers."
Ming Yunyuan shrugged: "Your flowers have a gardener."
"How can it be the same? Besides, I've been taking care of you for so long, wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't continue?"
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Ming Yunyuan happened to be away on his birthday this time.
However, on his birthday, Ming Yunyuan's gift and blessings arrived on time, so Ming Yunle was still very happy.
Ming Yunle patted his brother's shoulder and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"No."
"Brother will prepare delicious food for you to welcome you home."
"Then come to my house. You probably don't have any ingredients at home." Ming Yunyuan said, "I remember you haven't cooked recently. Do you remember how to cook?"
"Remember, remember. Don't worry."
Ming Yunyuan has negotiated another cooperation, so he has been in a good mood these two days.
After opening the door, he hung his coat on the hanger and said, "I'll go clean up first. The kitchen is over there."
"I know."
Ming Yunyuan's home is very similar to Ming Yunle's home, with a very minimalist feel.
Ming Yunle walked in, opened the refrigerator door, and saw that all the ingredients were available. Ming Yunle chose a recipe based on the ingredients.
When Ming Yunyuan passed by, he saw Ming Yunle busy in the kitchen and said, "It seems you haven't forgotten."
"How can you forget it just like that? After all, you've been studying for so long."
Having said that, Ming Yunle didn't do anything complicated.
It’s getting late now, and I heard that Ming Yunyuan hasn’t eaten yet, so we should focus on saving time.
Ming Yunyuan answered a phone call and changed into his home clothes. When he came back, he saw that Ming Yunle had already prepared a dish.
He raised an eyebrow: "Very impressive."
"I saw you were hungry, so I made a simple dish."
Ming Yunyuan sat on the sofa and watched Ming Yunle walking around in the kitchen and bringing out dishes one by one.
Seeing that he had cooked four dishes and was about to continue, Ming Yunyuan stopped him: "We can't eat that much, this is enough."
By this time the rice was cooked.
The meal was a little hot, so they didn't eat it right away. Instead, they sat on the sofa and chatted for a while.
Ming Yunle suggested, "How about going for a drive later?"
"Let's go in the evening."
Ming Yunle thought that his brother must be very tired after returning from a business trip, and it would be better for him to go back and have a good rest. It was his inconsiderateness.
Ming Yunle's thoughts were written all over his face. Ming Yunyuan said, "It's not because I'm tired. I've had a good rest these past two days. It's because I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I'll be free in the evening."
His younger brother worked so hard, he should have cooked two more dishes for him.
After dinner they went to the study to play chess.
Ming Yunyuan still couldn't beat Ming Yunle. After losing several times, the time was almost up. Ming Yunyuan was about to start a video conference, while Ming Yunle stayed in the living room watching a movie.
After the meeting, Ming Yunyuan read for a while and then the alarm clock rang.
Ming Yunle looked at the clock on his phone and thought that it was time for Ming Yunyuan to exercise.
Ming Yunle also worked out for a while. When he felt he had reached the required amount of exercise, he got off the machine and returned to the living room.
He looked at the picture album for a while, then thought of the travel notes he had read a few days ago, and wondered if he should plan a trip in the fall.
Although it wasn't even summer yet, he hadn't even decided on a destination, so it wasn't too early to plan.
Although Ming Yunle loves going out, he has not been to many cities, and the only one he visited was for field research.
When Ming Yunyuan came out, he saw Ming Yunle frowning. He thought he was in trouble. After asking, he found out that he was worried about where to travel in the fall.
Ming Yunyuan was speechless and said, "You can decide now, but you might change your mind in the fall. There are too many variables."
