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

"Come in."

Lu Luozhi smiled and waved at him, "Don't you think little Rou looks beautiful in this dress?"

Lu Mingshi then walked in lazily, looking Ying Sangrou up and down.

She seemed to sense his gaze, and kept her face down shyly, a blush rising at the base of her ears.

"Oh my, Ying Xiaomei, I never expected you to be like this..."

His words were hesitant and left the audience in suspense.

Ying Sangrou looked up at him uneasily, "Doesn't it look good?"

He grinned and said, "Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. She's as pretty as a fairy from heaven."

Upon hearing this, Lu Luozhi and Ying Sangrou both broke into even wider smiles.

"I told you, how could our little Rou not be pretty?"

She gave him a look, "Hey blondie, remember to keep an eye on our little Rou when you're at school, don't let those boys get too close to her, it's not good if they scare her."

"Okay, okay."

When Lu Ming called out, he waved his hand and said, "You've said that many times."

At this moment, Ying Yuchuan walked to the window and saw the three of them in the room. He then noticed his younger sister's dress and asked, "Trying on a dress?"

"Yes. But it's already been tried on. Do you think Xiaorou looks good?"

Lu Luozhi asked him with a smile.

"nice."

Ying Yuchuan responded and then called to her, "Let's go back to our room."

Lu Luozhi didn't go through the door; she climbed out the window and jumped out.

This made Ying Yuchuan frown deeply again.

"Why did you have to come out in such an unusual way?"

Afraid she would fall, he reached out and caught her the moment she landed.

"Hehe, this is so convenient. It's such a hassle to go through all that trouble by going through the door."

She smiled and took his arm. "Come on, let's go back. You two chat, Little Rou and Yellow Hair. We're leaving now."

She turned back and waved to the two little ones in the room before she and Ying Yuchuan walked into the dark night.

Now that there were only the two of them in the room, Ying Sangrou realized this and felt even more uncomfortable.

"I...I'll go change out of my dress."

She hurriedly went into the dressing room, changed out of her long dress, and came out wearing a set of pure cotton pajamas.

When she went inside the room, she did not see Lu Ming.

She panicked and rushed out of the room, only to find him sitting on the steps outside the courtyard, his hands supporting his knees.

His silhouette conveyed loneliness.

"Why are you sitting here? You'll be cold."

She sat silently in the empty space beside him.

It's December, and the winter chill has already enveloped the world. A minor cold front arrived yesterday, and the entire southern part of the city is still cold.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the time when my older sister and I first came here."

Lu Ming smiled, his eyes gazing ahead in a daze.

"I remember when we first arrived, it was just as cold as it is now. My older sister and I were dressed in shabby clothes when we came out of the train station, and I never expected..."

He sighed, "Ten months have passed, and I never imagined things could change so much. It seems like everything is different now."

He turned to look at her and said, "Do you remember that day when I was lying under the pavilion, and you walked by and kicked me?"

I feel a little embarrassed whenever I think about it.

Ying Sangrou never expected him to be lying there.

"It's kind of funny now that I think about it."

He withdrew his gaze, then looked into the distance, his face full of smiles, and called out:

"Little Sister Ying".

"Um?"

"Nice to meet you."

She gazed at his profile with a smile in her eyes.

"Nice to meet you too."
