The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Wang's father's eyelids twitched, and he only looked away after the figure on the bicycle disappeared from sight.

He turned to his daughter, his face stern, and asked, "Xiaofang, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"father!!"

Wang Fang stepped forward and hugged her father's arm, trying to get away with a little coquetry, but she gave in when she met her father's uncompromising gaze.

"Okay, I'll tell you and Mom when we get home, is that alright?"

She actually wanted to spend more time with Zhou Zhiming before bringing it up with her family, once their relationship was more stable.

Without saying anything more, Wang's father turned and walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and Wang Fang slowly followed him.

Neither the father nor the daughter spoke for a moment. After crossing the front yard, they went straight into their main house.

Inside the main room, the Queen Mother was sitting at the Eight Immortals Table.

She noticed the silent father and daughter and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you two? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Daughter-in-law, you should ask your good daughter. She's found a boyfriend without saying a word." Mr. Wang sat down at the table, picked up his enamel mug, and took a sip of water.

"Is your daughter dating someone?"

The mother's eyes lit up, and she began to ask, "Xiao Fang, what does that young man do? How old is he? What does his family do?"

"Mom, you're asking so many questions, how am I supposed to answer them all?" Wang Fang sat down opposite her mother, looking a little awkward.

"You're not unable to answer, you just didn't intend to tell your family, right?"

Mr. Wang snorted and added sarcastically, "That young man looks very young; he probably doesn't even have a proper job."

"Honey, could you please say less?"

The mother rolled her eyes at her husband, then turned and said softly, "Xiao Fang, your father is just worried that you, a young lady, will be taken advantage of. Why don't you introduce him to me first?"

Wang Fang bit her lip and hesitated for a while before speaking:

"Mom, my boyfriend's name is Zhou Zhiming. He's a driver at the transport station. He just turned eighteen this year. He's an only child. I don't know what his parents do."

"The driver, he's one of the eight key officials!"

The Queen Mother looked somewhat surprised. "Eighteen is a bit young, though, three years younger than you."

Wang's father, who was standing to the side, felt much more relaxed at this point, but his face was still stiff: "Only one? Then the burden of supporting his parents in the future will be very heavy."

When he said those things, Mr. Wang was afraid that his daughter would be seduced by some street thugs.

"Father, you don't need to worry about that."

Wang Fang replied with a hint of pride, "His salary and benefits combined are over sixty yuan, which is much higher than yours."

"How much?" Father Wang paused, his eyes widening as he held the enamel mug.

"It cost over sixty yuan, otherwise how would they have gotten their bicycles?"

"He bought the bicycle himself?" Mr. Wang was somewhat incredulous; he had initially thought he had borrowed it from someone.

"Of course!"

Wang Fang got more and more excited as she spoke, "I even took a day off today to go see where he works. Dad, don't underestimate him just because he's young; he already has apprentices."

Wang's father was completely speechless, his eyes filled with shock.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't stop smiling: "Good, good! Our daughter has such a sharp eye; she picked out such a handsome and wealthy husband right away."

Wang Fang blushed and then pleaded with her mother, "Mom, I'm going on a date with him tomorrow morning, so please don't stop me!"

"Don't worry, we definitely won't stop such a good young man."

The Queen Mother patted her daughter's head, then leaned closer and lowered her voice:

"But Xiaofang, when you're with him, don't rush into things. At least wait until you're engaged, understand?"

"Mother, I know!" Wang Fang lowered her head shyly.

On the other side, in courtyard number 93, as soon as Li Kaixin got home, he told his parents about the holiday and the two long-distance trips he had taken.

However, since he had already driven many long distances, the two of them didn't say anything.

After dinner, Qin Xiuli, the mother, began preparing the things her eldest son needed to bring.

"Mom, I can do these myself, no need to trouble you." Li Kaixin quickly went up to her mother and wanted to take over the work.

"Kaixin, are you starting to look down on your mother? You don't even want her to worry about this little thing for you?"

The mother, Qin Xiuli, pretended to be aggrieved, but her hands didn't stop moving.

Li Kaixin was both amused and exasperated: "Mom, when did you learn this trick?"

"Alright, if you're happy, then let your mother clean up after you!"

The father, Li Mingde, put down his newspaper and explained with a smile:

"You'll be gone for almost half a month this time. She must be worried about you at home. Preparing things for you now will make her feel better."

What could Li Kaixin say after hearing this? He could only stand obediently to the side and let his mother do as she pleased.

.......

The next morning, just as dawn broke, a car pulled up in front of the courtyard of No. 94.

Immediately afterwards, five or six people got out of the car, and the one in the lead was Liu Jianming.

"Brother Liu, are you sure this guy is reliable?" A young policeman looked around and expressed his doubts.

What kind of hunting expert could be found in an ordinary courtyard house? You might as well go to the countryside to look for one.

"Don't worry, Chen Kun, when have I ever been unreliable?"

Liu Jianming patted him on the shoulder and strode into the courtyard: "And you know this person too, he's Comrade Li Kaixin who saved me before."

"What?!" Chen Kun stopped in his tracks, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "Comrade Kaixin can hunt?"

After that, the only girl among them spoke up: "Captain Liu, Chen Kun, who exactly are you two talking about?"

"Anran, all you need to know is that this person is very capable," Liu Jianming replied with a smile.

Seeing this, Chen Kun quickly chimed in:

"Comrade Zhou, you've only been transferred to our institute for a short time, so you may not have heard of him. This Comrade Kaixin is not only a good person, but his medical skills are also highly praised by doctors in hospitals."

As Zhou Anran listened to the two of them talking back and forth, she couldn't help but feel a little curious about Li Kaixin.
