Yu Mobai woke up the next morning.
He instinctively reached out to hug Yu Xinran, only to find that she was already empty beside him.
He picked up his phone and glanced at the time, also noticing several missed calls, all from Zheng Zhaoxia.

He silenced the sound early last night so he could set off fireworks.
However, judging from the results, last night was undoubtedly a success.
He got out of bed, opened the door, and smelled the aroma of breakfast. Following the smell, he walked to the kitchen and watched Yu Xinran's busy figure, and grinned foolishly.
"What are you laughing at? Go wash up now."
Yu Xinran clearly cooks at home often, and she even had an apron tied around her waist, which amplified her already gentle temperament.
At first glance, she gives the impression of a virtuous wife and loving mother.
After Yu Mobai finished washing up in the bathroom, he helped carry the breakfast. "Sister Ran, don't be angry if I ask you something."
"What's up?"
Is your face swollen?
Yu Xinran paused for several seconds before turning around, her face slightly flushed, and then said fiercely.
"You scumbag, can't even a meal shut you up?"
"Stop calling him a scumbag, a scumbag."
Yu Mobai frowned. "Why don't you call me Oppa instead?"
"You wish."
Yu Xinran snorted and sat down, crossing her legs. "It's good enough that I don't call you Boss Yu."
Yu Mobai chuckled and began praising Yu Xinran's cooking skills. Before long, the breakfast in front of him was completely devoured.
"Just put the bowls in the kitchen, I'll wash them in a bit."
Yu Xinran got up, wandered around the living room, and then went into the bathroom.
Yu Mobai secretly went to the cabinet in the living room and took a look; sure enough, the ointment for reducing swelling was gone.
A short while later, Yu Xinran came out of the bathroom. Yu Mobai chuckled, "Sister Ran..."
"Yu Mobai, have you always been this scoundrel?"
Yu Xinran glared at him, then sheepishly returned to her room, her languid voice drifting back, "Aren't you going home today?"
"Go back, or my mom will kill me."
Yu Mobai sighed, went into the room and cuddled with Yu Xinran for a while before leaving.
It was almost noon when we rushed back to our small county town from Shengjing.
Zheng Zhaoxia and Yu Jinsheng, the elderly couple, were not at home; they were probably visiting relatives again.
Yu Mobai had nothing to do, so he called Dong Yike, but she didn't answer.
He called Ji Mushu again, but she still didn't answer.
Feeling utterly bored, he simply ran over and knocked on the door. Ji Zhigang opened it, and upon seeing Yu Mobai, he was immediately enraged. "What are you doing here? Don't come here again unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Uncle Ji, you used to tell me to come here often."
Yu Mobai blocked the door crack with his foot.
"That was before, this is now."
After saying that, Ji Zhigang kicked Yu Mobai's foot out and closed the door.
"The old man has quite a temper."
Yu Mobai muttered to himself as he walked downstairs. Once home, he dared not go out to play again, otherwise Zheng Zhaoxia would probably beat him even harder if she didn't see him when she got home.
"Never mind, I was too tired last night, I'll just get some sleep."
Yu Mobai fell asleep immediately, and when he opened his eyes, he heard the television playing in the living room.
He quietly went out. The elderly couple were watching TV. After hearing the noise, Zheng Zhaoxia surprisingly didn't scold him. Instead, she calmly pointed to the table and said, "The food is covered up. Go and eat if you're hungry."
Yu Mobai nodded. He wasn't used to not being scolded, but when he saw the look Yu Jinsheng gave him, he immediately understood.
He ate his meal in silence, and after finishing, he wiped his mouth and prepared to leave.
"Hurry up and clean up the dishes before you go out."
Yu Mobai obediently responded.
As expected, the next few days unfolded exactly as he had anticipated, though there was one slight difference.
Starting from the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, many people came to visit Yu Mobai's home to offer their New Year's greetings. Some were people Yu Mobai knew, and some were not. He even saw a few familiar faces.
The stationery store owner, the home appliance store owner, and the owner of the affordable fast food restaurant behind the Mobai Supermarket.
As Mobai Supermarket expands, the number of members increases, leading to a continuous rise in daily customer traffic.
Therefore, this indirectly boosted the economy of this street.
Especially the stores closest to Mobai Supermarket.
In just over a year, these three business owners, if not made a fortune, certainly made more than they had in the previous two years combined.
As long as there are customers, there's money to be made.
This resulted in the previously deserted street having all its long-vacant shops rented out, forming a small commercial area centered around the Mobai Supermarket.
Sure enough, several business owners who had made money came over to offer New Year's greetings, bringing all sorts of expensive gifts.
"Wow, Mo Bai is still as handsome as ever."
The proprietress was generous with her praise, saying, "If I were ten years younger, I would definitely like your type."
Yu Mobai chuckled after hearing this. He later learned from Yu Jinsheng that Sister Wang was actually a young widow.
In her early thirties, she was still quite charming, exuding the aura of a mature woman. Plus, with the money she had made, her figure and skin were in excellent condition.
Yu Mobai thought to himself, "Sister Wang, you don't need to be so polite. If you like her, just go for it. Age is not a problem. I won't refuse."
