Gu Qishen and Han Yixian were also sitting in the courtyard, playing chess.
Gu Qishen smelled the fragrance in the air and said, "It smells so good. I also contributed to this."
Han Yixian noticed that since Gu Qishen left his original job and came to Beili Village, he seemed to have let loose. The once calm and aloof person had become much more cheerful. It was as if his mentality had become younger.
