The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and fell on Gu Fan's face.
He frowned, slowly turned around, reached for his phone on the bedside table, squinted at the time, and saw it was already past nine o'clock.
As his consciousness gradually returned, Gu Fan suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly.
Looking around, the room was quiet, with only a few birds chirping outside the window.
Remembering what happened yesterday, he stretched, then got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked out of the room.
The living room was empty; his gaze fell on the balcony, where clothes fluttered in the sunlight.
He walked to Jiang Yumeng's room and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door to the room opened, and a slightly haggard face appeared in front of Gu Fan.
Good morning, senior!
Jiang Yumeng gave a cute smile.
Gu Fan smiled slightly in response, then asked, "How are you feeling?"
Jiang Yumeng nodded: "I'm much better now, thank you for your concern, senior."
Gu Fan nodded, and then said, "You probably haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I'll go buy you some."
"Thank you, senior!"
Half an hour later, the two sat at the dining table.
Gu Fan bought fried dough sticks, bread, soy milk, and also boiled eggs and porridge, which looked like a very generous meal.
However, the two of them were somewhat hesitant to look at each other, as they recalled what had happened last night, something that seemed a little embarrassing to talk about.
At this moment, Gu Fan suddenly broke the silence and said, "By the way, I've already washed the clothes in the bathroom for you. You can bring them back tonight."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yumeng paused, and then a blush gradually crept up her cheeks.
"Did...did my senior wash that? I thought it was...your auntie..."
Gu Fan was taken aback, then he coughed a little awkwardly: "Well, I only washed the pants."
He wasn't very good at lying, and after saying that, he became a little flustered.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Jiang Yumeng chuckled: "Okay, I was just saying, but thank you so much, senior! I'm really sorry to have caused you all so much trouble by visiting your home."
Gu Fan shook his head: "It's not much trouble."
Jiang Yumeng's period came a few days early, and she wasn't prepared enough. After breakfast, Gu Fan took her out.
The sun at ten o'clock was quite scorching. Even though Gu Fan was holding an umbrella for the girl, he could still feel a wave of heat.
There is a market not far from their community, just a few minutes' walk away. The market is very lively, mostly frequented by elderly people.
At this time of day during the holiday, young people are probably still asleep.
Gu Fan led Jiang Yumeng into the market, and the handsome man and beautiful woman immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Handsome guy/beautiful lady, want some pork? It was just slaughtered this morning, absolutely fresh!"
"Hey beautiful, isn't this rabbit adorable? Why don't you buy one? It's not only cute, it's delicious too!"
"Hey handsome, your girlfriend is so pretty, why don't you buy her a fish?"
"Today's cabbage is incredibly cheap, only 50 cents a pound!"
"..."
For Jiang Yumeng, who came from a wealthy family, she had never seen such a lively, bustling, and...tacky scene.
Upon hearing these shouts, her little mouth opened into an "O" shape, and she grabbed Gu Fan's arm, yelling incoherently all the way.
"Senior! Is that cabbage really only 50 cents?"
"Senior, these bunnies are so cute, are they really tasty?"
"Senior, this lady is so pretty! She's wearing black stockings and selling things at her stall!"
...
Gu Fan's lips twitched as he looked at Jiang Yumeng, who was acting like a curious child, and he was both amused and exasperated.
The more I got to know her, the more I realized that this girl didn't seem to have much knowledge.
This also tells Gu Fan how terrifying Jiang Yumeng's identity is—well, terrifyingly wealthy.
Thinking about this, he inexplicably felt a sense of pressure.
Finally, Gu Fan led Jiang Yumeng into a convenience store, bought some hygiene products, and then bought groceries for lunch.
Because of Jiang Yumeng's menstrual period, Gu Fan specially bought pork ribs to make soup, as well as rabbit...
When she got home, Jiang Yumeng looked at the rabbit with its legs tied, examining it closely with her big eyes full of curiosity and joy.
Are bunnies really that cute?
After Gu Fan finished preparing the ribs in the kitchen, he came out with a knife.
He watched this scene expressionlessly and asked, "Aren't the rabbits cute?"
Jiang Yumeng nodded innocently, "Yeah, senior, I heard that rabbits can be raised to be half a person's height, is that true?"
Gu Fan nodded: "That depends on the breed of rabbit. Meat rabbits are theoretically possible."
He paused, then added, "But this one in front of us is impossible."
"Why?"
Gu Fan picked up the rabbit and walked into the kitchen under Jiang Yumeng's gaze.
Half an hour later.
"It smells so good!"
Jiang Yumeng's appetite was whetted by the aroma wafting from the kitchen. She stared longingly at the kitchen and involuntarily walked over.
"Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
Gu Fan smiled slightly as he looked at her greedy expression: "Can you help me take the dishes out?"
Jiang Yumeng nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Leave it to me!"
To avoid burning her hands, Gu Fan handed her two tissues to use as pads.
Jiang Yumeng placed the fragrant rabbit meat on the table, secretly glancing at the kitchen. Seeing that Gu Fan wasn't looking this way, she picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in her mouth.
It smells so good! (▽)
Finally, she licked her fair fingers, her eyes crinkling into a smile.
At noon, Gu Fan and Jiang Yumeng were alone because Gu Fan's parents were not home for lunch.
"What are your plans for the holidays, senior?" Jiang Yumeng asked while enjoying the food Gu Fan had prepared.
Gu Fan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know where to go. It's so hot, I don't want to go far."
Jiang Yumeng thought about it and agreed.
"Where would you like to go? There are plenty of fun places in Jade City. If you'd like, I can show you around," Gu Fan asked.
It would be a real shame if the girl traveled all the way to Yucheng and didn't get a proper look around.
"Really?" Jiang Yumeng's big eyes lit up, filled with anticipation.
Gu Fan originally planned to visit his grandfather during the seven-day National Day holiday, hoping to earn some calligraphy and make a little money. However, since Jiang Yumeng came, he naturally chose to accompany the girl.
As evening fell and the sun set, the two, having had a good night's sleep, went out.
Gu Fan sent a message to his mother, telling her that he had taken Jiang Yumeng out and that she didn't need to cook for them.
"Senior, isn't this the garage?" Jiang Yumeng asked curiously from a dark corner.
Gu Fan nodded: "Yes, it's a bit far, we'll take a car there."
Jiang Yumeng was somewhat surprised: "Did you take your driving test, senior?"
Gu Fan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have a D license."
"ah?"
Gu Fan came to a corner where a dark figure was covered by a black cloth.
