"Xiao Yu, you are an adult now."

When he said these words, Yan Ziyuan's eyes were shining. God knows how long he had been looking forward to this day.

When he was lying on his bed in the dormitory in the army, he hoped that when he woke up, the date on the calendar would change directly to April 1st.

"Well, I'm an adult."

"That..."

"Comrade Yan Ziyuan, let's be together!"

Before he could open his mouth, Song Fuyu said it directly and frankly.

Although she wanted to wait until today to admit it, she had actually already tacitly accepted her relationship with him in her heart.

She saw and remembered all the kindness he showed her.

It doesn't seem like a bad thing if I could live with someone in the future who speaks the same language as me, looks like what she likes, and treats me well.

When Yan Ziyuan heard her words, the smile on his face gradually grew bigger.

"Okay! Let's be together!"

He felt that he had never been so nervous as he was now. Although Xiaoyu had already agreed, he was even more excited than before.

I kept pulling at the seams of my trousers with my hands, and almost tore them apart. Fortunately, the trousers issued by the army were well-made.

Many of the words that he had prepared before seemed redundant at this moment, as Xiao Yu had already said what he wanted to say most in his heart.

"Xiao Yu, I..."

"I..."

"What's wrong? You're suddenly hesitant."

He usually likes to speak directly, and it is not like his usual style to be so embarrassed to say it out loud.

"Can I hug you?"

Yan Ziyuan made up his mind and said it directly.

"......"

How should she answer this?

Saying yes or saying no seems quite awkward.

However, Yan Ziyuan didn't wait for her to make a choice. After asking, he opened his arms and hugged her.

She is already his partner, so hugging her should not be considered as a lecherous act.

This wasn't actually the first time the two of them had hugged.

Earlier on the mountain, she almost fell when she stood up, and he reached out to help her up. She sprained her foot, and he carried her down the mountain like a princess.

But the feeling this time is obviously different.

Song Fuyu could feel his strong heartbeat through his thin coat, and his hands unconsciously went around his waist.

This person is really not afraid of the cold.

In the middle of winter, I only wear a thin coat. If I'm not mistaken, I must be wearing a short-sleeved shirt underneath.

Two people were hugging each other in the room, and outside, at the foot of the wall, two sneaky people were squatting, breathing and rubbing their hands. From time to time, their heads popped up and looked in the direction of the light in the room.

"Jin Zhiqing, do you think they are done hugging each other? I'm still preparing to wash the dishes."

These two people were Tong Youyou and Jin Kai who had just split up to deliver the cake.

Originally, the two wanted to walk straight in, but the sharp-eyed Jin Kai saw two figures hugging each other tightly through the door that Song Fuyu had not closed, and hurriedly pulled Tong Youyou back.

"We should probably hold each other for a while, how about we go around from your side to the kitchen?"

"What's the point of going around? The bowl is still on Sister Fu Yu's table."

While the two were discussing whether to go over directly, Yan Ziyuan ended the hug and walked out.

“Ahem~~”

He coughed twice awkwardly.

"Stop squatting and come in."

Yan Ziyuan saw it as early as when they came in.

But he really didn't want to let go of the girl who had finally become his object, so he hugged her for a while longer and asked them to wait outside.

"Brother Yan, it's getting dark. Why don't you come home with me? We can come back tomorrow."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go back to sleep."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight~"

"Be careful or I'll sew your talkative mouth shut at night while you're sleeping."

After saying that, he turned around and glanced at Song Fuyu's room, and saw that she and Tong Youyou were cleaning the table and not looking at this side. So he grabbed Jin Kai's collar and went back to the next room.

But it is indeed as Jin Kai said.

That night, Yan Ziyuan lay in bed, his mind full of the scene of him hugging Song Fuyu after dinner.

It is deeply engraved in my mind and cannot be erased.

It was not until two or three o'clock in the morning that he fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning at 5:30, I got out of bed on time again.

He had made an appointment with Xiaoyu yesterday, and the two of them were going to the city to play today.

He deliberately chose an outfit that he thought looked the most energetic from the clothes she gave him yesterday, and it took him more than a minute to adjust the collar alone.

Before going out, he even took a comb and combed his hair, which didn't need any maintenance at all.

When they reached the gate of the next courtyard, Song Fuyu saw him coming, and hurriedly put on the small bag she had sewn herself and went out.

"Here, this is breakfast for you."

She handed over two loaves of bread wrapped in oil paper.

When she and Tong Youyou had nothing to do, they baked twenty or thirty of them, which were perfect for breakfast.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Yan Ziyuan took it and didn't eat it directly, but asked her first.

"I've eaten~"

"Did you only eat half of it?"

He still had some understanding of her appetite.

"No way, take out the small words, I ate half of it, okay?"

"Then eat half of it."

He broke it in half and gave it back.

If I give her one, there is no doubt that she will not agree.

"I really can't eat any more. I'll throw up if I eat any more."

Song Fuyu wanted to refuse, but the other party was obviously serious and ignored her protest.

"Don't worry about eating it now. Wrap it up and put it in your bag. It will take more than three hours to get to the city from here. You can eat it when you are hungry later."

Seeing her put the bread into her bag, he quickly finished the remaining one and a half.

Today is a working day, and Song Fuyu took a day off.

They arrived early and there was no one on the ox cart yet.

Yan Ziyuan lent a hand and let her get in the car first, then he got in and sat next to her.

When Uncle Lin saw how comfortable the two were getting along with each other, he knew they were a success and was happy for them from the bottom of his heart.

"Yan boy, Song Zhiqing is a good girl praised by everyone in our village, you have to be nice to her."

"Uncle Lin, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiao Yu as if he were my own eye."

"Haha, good boy."

"Thinking back to the days when your aunt was still alive, I tried my best to satisfy her every wish, except for the stars in the sky. After all, a wife should be spoiled by herself..."

Uncle Lin recalled the time he spent with his wife, and the happiness on his face was self-evident.

He now lives on the good memories of the past.

"Uncle Lin, Auntie must be very capable, right?"

Listening to Uncle Lin's words, Song Fuyu envied Aunt Lin very much.

Although she is gone, there is still someone who thinks about her day and night and remembers every detail of their past interactions in his heart. She thinks Uncle Lin and his wife must be very much in love.

"Haha, she used to be someone who could even burn rice."

"When she was at home, she was spoiled by her brothers and sisters, and she never had to do housework. Marrying me made her suffer..."

"Compared to the hard work, I think Aunt Lin would definitely prefer to live with you."

“That’s what she told me at the time…”

Soon, several more villagers got on the ox cart, and they also stopped talking to Uncle Lin.
