Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

A large room where sunlight can stream in.

A large room with a big balcony.

There is a large bed in the middle.

The wardrobe is full of clothes I bought for him.

Back at the villa, in his own bedroom, Lu Mingshi was so happy that he rolled and twisted on the bed like a maggot.

Even the four-piece bedding set smells wonderful.

Ah... he's so happy.

His old two-story house back home leaked when it rained, and sometimes there were cockroaches and rats. He never imagined that he would have such a big, clean, bright room that could get sunlight.

There's also a large desk and an ergonomic study chair.

He's so lucky...

Lying in bed, he grinned from ear to ear, showing off his big teeth.

Lu Luozhi and Ying Yuchuan stood at the doorway, not disturbing him.

Seeing his silly grin, they exchanged a knowing glance.

Then they gently closed the door and went downstairs with quiet footsteps.

Lu Luozhi smiled and pulled Ying Yuchuan downstairs.

"Let's go back to work."

Let him stay home and have some fun.

Today is a day to be happy about.

Sheng Shuang came to the school to pick up Sang Rou after school.

As soon as Ying Sangrou got in the car, she said to her mother, "Mom, when we go to the snack shop in the mall to buy snacks to see Lu Ming, I'll also bring today's homework to him."

Sheng Shuang told her apologetically, "Sang Rou, I'm sorry I didn't tell you this morning. Lu Mingshi was already picked up from the hospital by your older brother and sister-in-law this morning."

Originally looking forward to seeing Lu Ming soon, Ying Sangrou was stunned when she heard her mother's words.

My mood quickly plummeted.

"You've been discharged from the hospital?"

She lowered her eyes, muttering to herself in disbelief.

"Yes, it's because Mom didn't tell you sooner. I'm sorry."

Sheng Shuang apologized again, "You looked so listless this morning, and you had a slight fever. I didn't want you to have too many emotional problems, so I kept it from you for a while..."

Originally, she didn't want her to come to class and wanted her to rest at home, but she said she wanted to go to class, she wanted to take notes, and she wanted to tutor Lu Mingshi.

Sigh... It seems she's trying to make up for the guilt she felt when she came to Luming in her own way.

"Yes, your older brother and sister-in-law have already taken him back to the villa. As for when he will go back to school, it's uncertain."

She went back to the villa, so she doesn't know when she can come back to them, right?

Sheng Shuang glanced at her worriedly, "Sang Rou..."

Ying Sangrou did not respond to her, and she remained silent until Sheng Shuang drove back to the Ying family mansion.

When we got back, it was almost dinnertime.

Mr. and Mrs. Ying were waiting for their return in the living room.

Ying Huayu has a business dinner tonight and won't be home for dinner.

Lost and disoriented, Ying Sangrou didn't notice them there and walked straight toward the dining room.

Even when Old Madam Ying called her several times from behind, she didn't hear her.

This displeased Madam Ying.

"What's wrong with this girl? Didn't she even call out to the two old men here?"

She snorted, "She must have been corrupted by that blond guy. Our Sang Rou wasn't like this before."

She then shifted the blame onto Lu Mingshi, who wasn't even there.

"Before those two siblings came to our house, the Ying family was always harmonious. But ever since they arrived? Ha, they've caused chaos. I think those two are just incompatible with the Ying family. We shouldn't have let them in in the first place..."

Ying Sangrou suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The old lady's curses reached her ears word by word.

She slowly raised her lowered face.

Hearing her mother-in-law say the same thing again, Sheng Shuang, who was following behind her, patiently advised her:

"Mom, don't say these things in front of Sang Rou. You know she hasn't recovered from that incident yet. She's a sensitive person to begin with, what if you say these things and make her overthink things?"

Madam Ying pursed her lips, which had been curving downwards. "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"What I said wasn't wrong. I think those two siblings surnamed Lu are a jinx. If it weren't for them, Sang Rou wouldn't have suffered like this..."

Her words were so harsh that even Old Master Ying couldn't bear to listen anymore.

"Old woman!"

He snapped, "Can you shut your mouth and stop talking? Sang Rou is still here. What are you going to make her think of what you're saying?"

"You blame others for making a mess of the house, but I think you're the one who's making a mess of it! You're always complaining and criticizing, but look at yourself now, what kind of person are you?"

He spoke of himself like that, and Madam Ying was not about to be offended.

"Oh, so now it's all my fault? Who was it that recruited that guy surnamed Lu in the first place...?"

Ying Sangrou couldn't listen anymore. She pursed her lips and quickly left the place that made her feel like she was suffocating.

"Sangrou."

Sheng Shuang followed behind her anxiously.

Ying Sangrou rushed back to her room in one breath and locked it.

"Mom, I need some peace and quiet."

Even though Sheng Shuang was anxious, she could only hold back her emotions outside the room.

"Okay, be quiet for a bit, Mom will bring your food over in a bit."

A short while later, Ying Sangrou in the room heard her footsteps as she left.

She sat crouching behind the door, her knees bent, her eyes red.

She dislikes her current grandmother more and more.

I also dislike the harsh things she said.

Wiping away her tears, she made a bold decision.

She pulled out her prepared suitcase, stuffed some textbooks into the backpack she was carrying, and then, when no one was paying attention to her, she pulled her suitcase and carried her backpack, and secretly walked out of the Ying family mansion.

She took a taxi to the villa where her older brother, Ying Yuchuan, and his family were currently living.

……

"Boom—"

A silvery thunderclap streaked across the dark horizon in springtime.

Large raindrops pattered against the windowpane, making a pitter-patter sound.

Lu Mingshi was taking an online class at his desk.

He now wants to catch up on his first year of high school as quickly as possible.

"Young Master Mingshi..."

Old Chen, the villa's butler, knocked on the door and then quickly walked over to him.

Someone downstairs said they're looking for you.

Old Chen said quickly, "It was a girl. She was soaking wet. I asked her to come in first, but she refused, saying she wanted to find you."

Lu Mingshi was puzzled upon hearing this.

A girl is looking for him?

A figure vaguely appeared in my mind.

Could it be her?

No way?

This is a long way.

Despite his doubts, he didn't hesitate at all, taking three steps at a time to go downstairs and arrive at the entrance of the villa.

He looked out, and the rain poured down in the night, but he didn't see any girls.

Until someone tugged at his trouser leg.

He then quickly looked down.

Ying Sangrou was squatting by the wall by the door. She looked a bit disheveled, with wet hair and a wet school uniform. Her fair and beautiful face was tilted up, and she had a pair of big eyes. A few strands of wet hair clung to her cheeks, covered with raindrops, and there was a pale and fearful look on her face, worried that she was not welcome.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Ying Sangrou quickly took out her clothes and the notebook, which wasn't wet at all, and held it up to him with both hands. She lowered her face, and in the sound of the rain, Lu Mingshi heard her say to herself in a flustered voice:

"I've come to bring you today's notes."
