Start with a blacksmith shop.

The person who was still sitting astride the car taking pictures was about to say something...

There was no question of first come, first served, but the words were swallowed back in the next second.

There was a group of people gathered around the car, and they saw him turn the key and the dashboard backlight came on.

The crowd began to whisper among themselves, and the way they had been looking at him changed.

At this moment, they stopped crowding and all turned their attention to him.

The man, still sitting in the car, with a flushed face, sheepishly got out of the car.

"Thank you!" he said politely, and only after the person had moved away did he straddle the seat.

The roar of the engine caused the people surrounding the area to voluntarily make way for it.

The hotel where he stayed was not far from the residential area where Li Yun lived, and the car quickly arrived at the entrance of the residential area under his control.

As he rode over, Li Yun's brows indeed furrowed.

Looking at the messages that hadn't been replied to for a long time, she felt a sudden surge of irritation for no reason.

I waited and waited, but still no information came.

Lying on the bed, staring at her unresponsive phone, her beautiful legs were kicking restlessly.

The little feet kicked against the blanket on the bed.

Just as she was getting anxious, she suddenly felt her phone vibrate.

He hurriedly sat up in bed and held his phone in front of him.

Guess where I am?

Nearly twenty minutes later, his message came again.

However, this reply left Li Yun somewhat puzzled. The other party did not give a clear answer to the question, but instead asked her to guess.

Li Yun is a very intelligent woman. For Li Zhenhua to ask her this question at this time, there must be something fishy going on.

But there were too many answers, and he had no answer, so he could only give a conventional response.

"Where else could you be? I bet you just finished a run in the mountains and are taking a shower at home right now!"

Having already parked his car, he listened to the voice message from Li Yun and immediately had an idea, replying to her.

"Haha, you guessed wrong. How about we make a bet?"

If you guess where I am, I'll grant you one request.

But if you guess wrong, then promise me one thing.

So, are you in or not?

Li Yun is a very smart woman, unaware that she is gradually falling into a trap set by the other party.

"Okay, I promise you."

I'm guessing you're in Beiping, with Guo Shugui.

Either you're at Liu Xiaodong's house, or you're in the factory.

Aside from these few places, I really can't think of any other place you could appear!

These are the only ones. If you still can't guess them,

"It's just a favor I promised you, right? No problem!"

Li Yun answered several questions, but after looking them over, she couldn't find a single correct answer.

Yes, that's normal; no one would expect that.

Someone who is more than friends but not quite lovers will silently show up at her apartment building.

Continuing to tease her at this point might have some negative effects, so he replied to Li Yun.

"Can you see the gate from your position? If so, look towards the entrance of the complex!"

Seeing Li Zhenhua's reply, she suddenly felt a flutter in her heart.

What does this mean? Telling her to go look at the entrance to the residential area—what can she possibly see there?

With these questions in mind and a little uneasy, I went to the living room window, which had a view of the entrance to the residential complex.

Li Yun's parents were watching TV in the living room when they saw their only beloved daughter.

They actually came out of the room, and once they did, they went straight to the window with a clear purpose.

Li Yun's father first noticed the little girl's condition, and nudged his wife with his elbow.

Li Yun walked to the window and looked towards the entrance of the residential area.

At the entrance of the residential area, she saw a car and a figure that she recognized very well.

Now she finally understood what Li Zhenhua meant when he said that.

So he came to his own city. When did he know where his home was?

A little touched, a little excited, and a little bewildered.

When she turned around, she concealed everything and walked back to her room as if nothing had happened.

Mr. Li said to Mrs. Li somewhat nervously, "Our daughter is having an affair!"

After Li Yun entered the room, the elderly couple started chatting away.

After seeing that familiar figure at the entrance of the residential complex, Li Yun returned to her room and opened her wardrobe.

After browsing through the clothes, I finally picked out an outfit that I felt looked nice, and then replied on my phone.

Wait for me where I am!

At this point, more than ten minutes had passed since Li Yun saw Li Zhenhua.

After changing her clothes, Li Yun left the room and said something to the elderly couple in the living room.

"Mom and Dad, don't wait up for me for dinner tonight."

I'm going out to meet a friend; we'll have dinner together, and then I'll go home!

Before the two could respond, Li Yun hurriedly opened the door.

As soon as Li Yun stepped out the door, the elderly couple went to the window and looked outside.

"See? I told you there was something going on. Look, here it is!"

It seems Xiaoyun really meant it when she said she had a boyfriend, and she wasn't just making it up to us!

Chestnut's mother also looked outside curiously. "Alright, you're very observant! Look, Xiaoyun is downstairs!"

Leaving aside the elderly couple upstairs, Li Yun hurriedly headed towards the entrance of the residential complex as soon as she left her house.

Li Zhenhua wasn't in a hurry; he waited quietly at the entrance of the residential area.

After waiting another five or six minutes, a figure appeared in his field of vision.

Li Yun quickened her pace, stood opposite him, and asked somewhat nervously.

"How did you end up at my doorstep? When did you find out where I live?"

I only remember telling you that I lived in Haizhou, but I didn't give you my address!

Looking at Li Yun in front of me, I noticed a slight blush on her face from running.

He didn't answer Li Yun's question, but instead took an ear warmer out of the back box of his motorcycle and put it on her ears.

After removing the ear warmers, he chuckled and said, "Do you remember how you got back to Shenzhen last time?"

High-speed rail, right? I bought the ticket for you.

Haha, of course I saw your ID card when I bought the ticket.

How did I find out about your family?!

Upon hearing the explanation, Li Yun's face turned even redder, and she said jokingly, "It seems you've been planning this for a long time?"

"Hehehe, it's almost New Year's, and as you know, I live alone."

Instead of spending the Lunar New Year alone at home, it's better to spend it with a friend.

That's why I came to find you!

The more she listened to the explanation, the redder her face became. And she was a girl, after all.

Relatively speaking, it would be more suitable for him to go to Liu Xiaodong or Guo Shugui than to her.

But the other party just came straight at her like that, which made Li Yun a little overwhelmed, and she obviously thought of something.

In a voice barely louder than a mosquito's buzz, she asked Li Zhenhua, "Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to go to Fatty's or Guoba's place than to come find me?"

Before Li Zhenhua could answer his question, Li Yun's phone rang.
