Bai Shichen was working in the fields. He was tired and sweating, but he felt satisfied. He felt that everything was worth it when he thought about harvesting the fruits soon. He believed that everything should be obtained through hard work and he could gain solid confidence from it.

There were many farmers around helping him. After all, he couldn't finish it alone. He took a short rest and looked around, and saw a car coming on the road.

It was Li Rongsen’s car, and he walked over.

An Yan got out of the car and asked Bai Shichen, "Where's Xiaoji? Did he come to see you?"

"I came here alone today and was about to go home. He should be at home." Bai Shichen said as he took off his work jacket and got into his car.

An Yan went back to the car, and Li Rongsen started the car and followed behind Bai Shichen's car.

The three of them went home together.

Bai Shichen opened the door, motioned for An Yan and Li Rongsen to go into the yard first, and then said, "He probably hasn't come back, otherwise the door wouldn't be locked."

"It's already dinner time, why hasn't he come back? Where did he go?" An Yan asked.

"He is always busy outside during the day and comes back on time. He has been cooking for me these past few days." Bai Shichen felt a little embarrassed for asking a child to take care of him, but he was really too busy to get away.

"Then let's wait for him for a while, maybe he will be back soon." An Yan said and sat down in the yard.

"Okay, I'll bring you some fruit and tea." Bai Shichen said as he prepared to go back to the house to get something.

But An Yan signaled him not to bother, saying, "You should go take a shower. You are sweating after working in the fields. We are not thirsty."

Bai Shichen nodded, smiled at An Yan, and then said to Li Rongsen: "Rongsen, please help me prepare it. The fruits and tea are in the room. Go get them."

Li Rongsen was of course happy, and he immediately went into the house to get something.

An Yan was thinking about Xiao Ji's behavior. It was so strange. He seemed to have grown up suddenly, and even the way he looked at her just now had changed.

Li Rongsen not only brought out fruits and tea, but also some snacks. He said to An Yan, "Fill your stomach first, we'll go out for dinner later. I heard that a restaurant has invited a talented pianist. Shall we go over and enjoy it?"

An Yan blinked and nodded casually.

Li Rongsen said: "Xiaoji is still a child, not mature, maybe he doesn't even know the definition of love or what marriage means."

"He's not that young anymore, and he's capable of independent thinking." The person who said this was Bai Shichen. He had changed his clothes and came over. He sat in front of An Yan and Li Rongsen, put a letter on the table, and said, "Take a look at this letter. He left it in my room."

An Yan picked it up and opened it. On it was Xiao Ji expressing his gratitude to Bai Shichen for taking care of him during this period, and asking him to forgive him for leaving without saying goodbye. He thought a lot and felt that he should take responsibility so that he could provide more protection for their love.

The following text is Xiaoji's last words:

Anyan, we do have an age gap, but I don’t think it’s a problem.

I am alone now. I can make you happy for a while, but I cannot make you happy for a lifetime. This is the saddest thing for me, so after thinking for a long time, I decided to go home.

Please forgive me for not being able to tell you my full name for the time being. I just hope you can give me some time and I will make you the happiest bride in the world. I have the ability to do so and I promise that it will never change for the rest of my life.

Li Rongsen was sitting next to An Yan, so he naturally saw those words as well. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and an inexplicable fear occupied his mind. He no longer dared to say that Xiaoji was just a child.

Bai Shichen said: "He seems to really like you."

"I just saved his life, and he was grateful for it. Gratitude is different from love." An Yan always thought that Xiao Ji didn't see her heart clearly, and asked Bai Shichen again, "You are often together, but you don't have a deeper communication, so you didn't tell you about his situation?"

"Eight or nine out of ten sentences Xiaoji speaks are about you. He never talks about himself. Even if I want to talk to him, he always crosses the question. What's more, we meet less frequently during this period as he is always out." Bai Shichen was a little embarrassed. He really didn't know Xiaoji very well, but he knew he was a good boy.

"Where is his home?" Li Rongsen asked. He was still a little worried about Xiaoji's safety.

"I think she should go home to prepare for the wedding." Bai Shichen said uncertainly.

Li Rongsen took a breath and looked towards An Yan.

An Yan was neither surprised nor happy. She said, "I want to have a good talk with him. This little brat is too cranky. It's really worrying."

"What do you mean?"

"It's obvious that no one has any need for him, and he couldn't adapt all of a sudden." This is An Yan's understanding.

Li Rongsen frowned, thinking that it was normal for a man to fall in love with her. At the same time, he heard Bai Shichen's inner thoughts.

Bai Shichen was thinking: It seems that An Yan is an idiot in love. She doesn't understand other people's feelings towards her at all and is so dull when it comes to emotions.

Ah, Li Rongsen also agreed with Bai Shichen's opinion.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

An Yan didn't know what they were thinking. She looked at her watch and said, "Let's go eat first."

"Let me treat you. You are my guests today. I won't burn the stove at home. It will waste time. Let's find somewhere to go." Bai Shichen said as he stood up.

"We were just discussing going to a western restaurant for dinner. We heard there is a talented pianist there and we wanted to go and enjoy his performance." Li Rongsen told him.

"Okay, let's go together." Bai Shichen said, motioning for them to go out first while he locked the door.

The three of them went to the restaurant to have dinner, but unfortunately, they heard that the little piano genius who used to perform every day was no longer performing here and would not continue to perform in the future.

Li Rongsen felt it was a pity. He said, "You came a day late. You only missed one day's work."

"By the way, there is one thing I can't figure out." An Yan suddenly looked at Li Rongsen and Bai Shichen.

"What's the matter?" Bai Shichen asked.

"Where did Xiaoji get so much money to buy this expensive jewelry?" An Yan had been thinking about this question all the way, and asked Bai Shichen, "He looks like a wealthy man. Does he buy things on a regular basis?"

"No. I usually pay for the expenses." Bai Shichen replied.

"He is such a mysterious child." Li Rongsen frowned, and then said, "I'll ask Nissen to investigate. Whether he can find the answer or not, there will always be clues."

"I just want to know where he got the money to buy jewelry." An Yan was very interested in this question and opened the set of jewelry.

Bai Shichen said: "He has a really good vision."

Li Rongsen said: "He should be a kid from a wealthy family."

On the other side, Xiao Ji had already returned to his home. Everyone in the family was quite surprised. It was his sister Sima Yanhong who opened the door. She was very happy and said, "Ji Xuan, you are finally back. Do you know how worried we were about you?"

Sima Jiguang, who was sitting in the living room, stood up immediately. As expected, he was relieved and happy to see his youngest son coming back, but also even angrier. He said, "What's wrong with you? You always go against your family, and now you're even worse. You run away from home when you don't agree with them. What's your attitude?"

Sima Yanhong also said: "Look, because of your disturbance, even my wedding date will be delayed."
