The doorbell rang softly as it was opened, as if playing a melody to welcome them back.
The light in the house was soft, and the old woman sitting in the corner looked up and saw the three people.
A smile from the heart instantly bloomed on her originally tired face.
"Kids, you're finally back!"
She said excitedly, her tone full of anticipation.
Wu Lingyang bent down slightly and handed the kitten to the old woman.
"Look, it's back."
"Oh, my little darling!"
The old woman's voice was gentle. She carefully took the kitten and held it in her arms.
The kitten seemed to recognize the person opposite it. It yawned lazily, then rubbed the old woman's hand with peace of mind.
"Thank you so much, I've been worried about this child."
The old woman said gratefully, with tears in her eyes.
She raised her head and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to the three people, "You are truly the kindest people I have ever met in my life."
Shengzhen smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "This is what we should do. We are also very happy to see you and the kitten reunited."
"Yes, as long as we can help you, we will be satisfied."
Wu Lingyang echoed.
Gangen Xingguo nodded at the side, "Old lady, you have to take care of yourself too. After all, you still have to rely on us for such a small matter!"
Hearing everyone talking, the old woman smiled helplessly, and that smile seemed to be able to melt the gradually cool night outside.
The kitten curled up comfortably on the old woman's lap, purring softly, as if infected by the wonderful atmosphere.
The three of them and the old woman talked like this until the sunset. Warm lights spread around them, making the house even more cozy.
The sky gradually darkened, and the evening breeze outside gently brushed the curtains of the Wanshiwu, bringing a cool breeze of early autumn.
The old woman raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her eyes full of gratitude towards the three young people.
She placed the kitten on her lap, slowly took out a small yellow envelope from her pocket, and handed it to Wu Lingyang.
25. Celebration after the commission is completed (ask for flowers)
"This is the commission fee I promised to give you before."
The old woman's tone revealed some reluctance, "Although you all look like children, your kindness and courage make us still look forward to this world."
Wu Lingyang waved his hand, his tone a little nervous: "Grandma, no need, it's our honor to help you. Let's leave this money to you and the kitten, maybe it will be useful in the future."
Shengzhen and Gangen Xingguo also echoed, and Shengzhen showed a hearty smile on his face: "Yes, you usually have a lot of expenses to take care of the kittens. We can't accept this kind of kindness."
The old woman smiled and shook her head. She insisted on putting the envelope into Wu Lingyang's hand. "It is precisely because you are kind-hearted that I insist on doing this. You also have to make a living. You can't always sacrifice for others like this. Take it. Maybe one day in the future, this money can help you do more good things."
Wu Lingyang looked at Shengzhen and Gangen Xingguo helplessly, and finally accepted it, "Okay, then we will accept it. But, mother-in-law, you must remember that no matter what happens, our Wanshiwu will always be there."
The old woman nodded, and the wrinkles on her face turned into a blooming chrysanthemum. "I understand, kids, thank you too. I hope your business will get better and better."
Then the old woman slowly stood up, packed up the small package she had brought, and held the kitten tightly in her arms.
The three of them walked her to the door and watched her figure gradually fade away in the twilight until she completely disappeared around the corner of the street.
Gangen Xingguo was the first to break the silence: "It's great, seeing her happy face, I feel that all my tiredness today has disappeared."
Shengzhen leaned gently against the door frame, looking at the street lights still flickering in the distance, and sighed slightly: "Yes, moments like this really make life meaningful."
Wu Lingyang was still holding the letter, with a warm feeling in his heart: "I really hope we can help more elderly people like her. No matter how small the matter is, as long as it can make others happy, it is worth it."
The three of them smiled at each other, with beautiful expectations for the future in their eyes.
The lights in the Wanshiwu are still warm, as if they have invisibly woven a solid harbor, waiting for more people in need.
"Let's go, tomorrow will be better."
Shengzhen waved his hand, turned around and walked back into the house.
Wu Lingyang and Gangen Xingguo followed closely behind, keeping this warmth and hope deep in their hearts.
The sound of lively conversation rang out again in the house, and as the night deepened, it became the warmest music in this house.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto the table in the Yorozuya room, and mottled light and shadows danced on the desktop.
Gangen Xingguo, who came into the room early, had already started preparing for today's plan. He was humming a little tune and packing documents nimbly with his hands.
Shengzhen sat aside, holding a paper bag full of snacks, with a lazy but satisfied smile on his face.
Wu Lingyang walked downstairs yawning and fastening the shirt he casually draped over his body: "Good morning, both of you. It looks like you both slept well last night."
Gangen Xingguo stopped what he was doing, looked up and smiled brightly: "Yeah, I think we all need such a relaxing morning. Besides, today is a big event - I mean, I'm going to treat everyone to dinner!"
Sheng Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You said you would treat us, you can't go back on your word."
There was a hint of mischief in her words.
Wu Lingyang laughed out loud: "Yes, Xingguo, you said it yesterday. Besides, we really have a reason to celebrate."
Gangen Xingguo nodded solemnly, "Of course, of course, I never regret it. After all, our commission was completed so smoothly, we should at least reward everyone."
The banter between them filled the atmosphere with a relaxed vibe, like a small celebration party.
The sunshine shines on everyone's face, warm and soothing.
Lunch time soon arrived and the three of them met at a small homely restaurant in the corner.
When he pushed the door and entered the store, the aroma that hit him aroused his strong appetite: "Wow, my favorite fried chicken! Xingguo, you really know how to choose a place."
Gangen Xingguo smiled proudly: "I know you will like it, come on, we won't leave until we are drunk today!"
After all the dishes were served, the three of them raised their glasses happily and toasted together: "I wish our Wanshiwu business will prosper and keep up the good work!"
At the moment of clinking glasses, Wu Lingyang felt a long-lost sense of intimacy and warmth.
The scene before him made him realize that not only the completion of the commission, but also the deepening friendship and trust between them were his most precious treasures.
Sheng Zhen's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Wu Lingyang, what are you daydreaming about? Try this, it tastes delicious."
She picked up a piece of golden and crispy fried chicken and put it into Wu Lingyang's bowl.
Wu Lingyang smiled from ear to ear and quickly lowered his head to enjoy it: "Mm, it's really delicious! Next time we will bring more friends over, what do you say, Xingguo?"
Gangen Xingguo nodded and agreed: "Of course, happiness is meant to be shared."
26. A rare holiday, an invitation from Miyin (asking for flowers)
In a laughing and happy atmosphere, they talked about the little things in life, future plans, and more people they wanted to help.
At this moment, they are no longer just colleagues in the Yorozuya Shop, but a family, walking together on the road to pursuing a better future.
Outside the window, the sun is shining brightly, shining on the table and reflecting spots of light.
The world outside the Wanshiwu is still noisy and busy, but in this small space, warmth, friendship and hope are closely intertwined and will never disperse.
After Wu Lingyang and Gangen said goodbye, he walked out of the restaurant. Today was a day off and he didn't have to go to work. The afternoon breeze gently brushed his cheeks. He took a deep breath, his heart filled with curiosity and anticipation for this city.
Although I have seen it several times before, the feeling is different every time.
Those strange yet familiar streets seemed to be telling him unknown stories.
"It's such a nice day today, perfect for a nice stroll!"
Wu Lingyang muttered to himself and walked slowly towards the city center.
His cell phone suddenly vibrated. It was a text message.
He took out his phone and saw that it was from Miyin: "Lingyang, do you want to go shopping together when you are free? I know a few good places that are perfect for this weather!"
Wu Lingyang's mouth corners slightly raised, thinking: It's just right, he also wants to get more familiar with this city. After all, he is a time traveler and has only been here for a short time, so he is not very familiar with this city.
So he quickly responded: "Okay, where shall we meet?"
Not long after, the two met in front of an old bookstore.
Miyin was wearing a light blue dress with her hair draped lightly over her shoulders. When she saw Wu Lingyang, she greeted him enthusiastically: "Hi, Lingyang! The bookstore here is very interesting. Not only does it have many precious old books, but it also has a very eccentric owner."
Wu Lingyang smiled. He sensed a hint of mischief in Miyin's tone.
The two of them pushed the door open together. The wooden floor of the store creaked slightly as it had not been repaired for a long time, and the air was filled with the faint scent of paper and ink.
Walking in the long and narrow aisle of the bookstore, Wu Lingyang suddenly thought of something between the old bookshelves, "Miyin, are you familiar with this city?"
"I guess so. I've been here a few times, but I always find something new every time."
Miyin reached out and pulled out a novel with a worn cover from the shelf, with a mysterious smile on her lips, "You know what? This city has a strange attraction that always makes people want to explore more."
"I also feel that way."
Wu Lingyang nodded, and several fleeting fragments of memory flashed through his mind, as if they were vaguely present deep in his mind.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any special recommendations?"
Miyin's eyes lit up and she replied playfully, "Of course! Follow me, I won't let you down!"
The two left the bookstore and strolled on the sun-drenched streets. Miyin took Wu Lingyang past one small landmark after another hidden in the hustle and bustle of the city.
They first visited a small antique shop owned by a talkative old man who was happy to share the rare treasures he collected during his travels; then they went to a hidden back alley full of colorful graffiti, each painting telling a different story.
As time went by, Wu Lingyang felt his unfamiliarity with this city gradually fade away, and a sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
Miyin's playfulness and attentiveness also made him feel comfortable.
As the sun was setting and the night sky of the city was gradually rising, Wu Lingyang said with emotion: "Miyin, thank you so much for taking me to so many places. It seems that these places are no longer unfamiliar to me."
Miyin smiled slightly and said softly: "Being with you makes me feel fresh. Perhaps, any city is like this. As long as you are willing to explore it in depth, you can discover its uniqueness and charm."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were enveloped in each other's resonance, and a long-lost warmth surged in their hearts.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the street red, illuminating the figures of two people walking one in front and one behind. Everything was so harmonious and beautiful.
As night falls, the neon lights on the streets begin to flicker, and there seems to be a hint of relaxation in the air.
Mi Yin and Wu Lingyang's footsteps slowly adjusted to the rhythm of the city. They strolled along the street, and the sky above their heads gradually became deeper.
"so,"
Miyin smiled and tilted her head, with a sly look in her eyes, "Do you think there is anything unexpected about this city?"
Wu Lingyang raised his eyebrows, trying to figure out Miyin's question.
He glanced to the side and saw the warm light in the window of a small cafe, which was crowded with people and full of laughter.
"Honestly, I never thought I'd have the chance to walk through these hidden places at dusk."
Wu Lingyang said frankly, with genuine surprise in his tone.
Miyin sneered and said casually, "You mean, you were too busy wandering around in the steel and concrete before and didn't have time to look at these 'gadgets'?"
Hearing this, Wu Lingyang shook his head helplessly and asked with a smile: "Should I rearrange my life plans now?"
Miyin smiled, stood on tiptoe and pointed forward, "I think it might be time to find some spice in life."
27. Favorability is full! Heart-beating Miyin (asking for flowers)
They passed several street stalls, and the vendors' cries livened up the atmosphere of the night market.
Wu Lingyang couldn't help but stop and look at a stall selling handicrafts, and his eyes turned to an exquisite wooden carved kitten.
"this is not bad!"
Miyin came closer, her eyes flickering between the kitten and Wu Lingyang, "It looks a lot like you."
Wu Lingyang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Like me? Miyin, I never thought I had any cat qualities."
"Of course,"
Miyin crossed her arms proudly, "Look, she is so cautious, carefully exploring the unfamiliar environment, and yet she reveals a hint of incredible charm."
At this moment, Wu Lingyang felt warm in his heart, and his originally restrained mood became relaxed with Miyin's teasing.
He stared at the handmade kitten and thought he could actually see some kind of reflection in it.
