The Lin family's carriage arrived before Old Lady Ren and her group left, bringing some farewell gifts for her family.
After seeing off the Ren family's carriage, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin were taken to the Lin family.
Ren Shijia was very happy about the arrival of his two nieces and personally took them to see where to live.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin lived in the west wing of Ren Shijia's courtyard. The rooms on both sides of the three wing rooms were their bedrooms, and the middle one was shared as a living room.
Although Ren Shijia's surname is also Ren, she is a very easy-going person, and sometimes she is a bit childish which is totally inconsistent with her age.
The other members of the Lin family also expressed their welcome to Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin. Old Madam Lin invited the two sisters to her place for dinner, and Madam Lin came over to ask if they needed anything. Lin Baoling and another illegitimate sister of the Lin family took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin on two tours of the entire Lin family mansion.
However, after Ren Shijia left the key in the yard, she came to find them specially and told them to stay in the yard when they had nothing to do and not to have too much contact with the Lin family. If they had to go, they must tell her first and report to her immediately after returning.
When Ren Shijia said this, her face was filled with worry and uneasiness that she tried hard to hide.
Seeing Ren Shijia like this, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin both agreed very obediently. Seeing them like this, Ren Shijia smiled comfortingly and said, "It's okay. Auntie knows you are always well-behaved. I'm just worried that you might suffer some harm in this unfamiliar place. I don't mean any other harm. When I have free time in a few days, Auntie will take you to visit various places in Yunyang City."
After Ren Shijia left, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoyin sat in the living room for a while, each sipping their tea in silence. It was unclear what they were thinking. It wasn't until the maid arrived to announce that the hot water was ready and invited them to bathe that the two sisters politely and amicably said their goodbyes and left.
Although Yunyang City also faces a river, it's not nestled in the mountains or by the water like Baihe Town. It's a major town in northern Yan, equivalent to a state capital, and has a dense population. Therefore, after nightfall, Yunyang City isn't as cool as Baihe Town.
Back in Baihe Town, even in the height of summer, the Ren family rarely used ice, and they still needed a thin blanket at night. But when they arrived in Yunyang City, Ren Yaoqi was woken by the heat in the middle of the night. It wasn't so hot that he couldn't sleep, and he didn't even sweat very much. But he would wake up once or twice in the middle of the night, and this was also the case when he stayed at the Ren family's villa.
The Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, and the really hottest time of the year has not yet arrived.
Ren Yaoqi sat with his eyes closed, leaning against the head of the bed. The flowered gauze curtain was lifted and hung on the curtain hook. Sang Zhen, who was on duty at night, sat on the edge of the bed and fanned Ren Yaoqi gently.
Just as Ren Yaoqi was gradually falling asleep again, a rustling sound was heard outside. Sang Zhen fanned herself while glancing towards the window. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi had opened her eyes, she whispered, "Miss, it seems to be raining."
As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of lightning struck the window covered with white gauze, and the sound of rain became louder and louder.
After a while, Ren Yaoqi heard a noise from the other side of the reception room. It seemed to come from the room where Ren Yaoyin lived, and soon there were footsteps coming this way.
"Fifth sister, are you asleep?" Ren Yaoyin's gentle voice sounded outside through the curtain.
Their bedroom and the living room in the middle were connected, making it very convenient for Ren Yaoyin to come over.
"No." Ren Yaoqi responded.
Then the curtain was lifted. Ren Yaoyin walked in. She must have woken up in the middle of the night, and she was wearing a thin red cloak. The maid behind her was holding a candlestick.
The candlelight in the room was originally quite dim, and Ren Yaoyin's face was facing away from the light, leaving only a vague shadow that made it difficult to see clearly. However, Ren Yaoqi felt that this face seemed to fit Ren Yaoyin better, without any sense of disobedience, just like the feeling she gave her.
