Reading the book of classic scripture helped wash away the hubbub of the Beijing trip .
As Wang Yao settled himself down, he once again thought about Su Xiaoxue's condition which he had put aside . Time passed quickly, and the sun was soon setting, going down over the mountains .
When he returned home from the mountains, he found that his second aunt's family had also come to visit . His sister had also returned .
His second aunt's schedule was packed completely on this trip back home . They planned to visit every relative who was available, especially their sick grandmother .
After dinner, they were still planning to go over to Wang Yao's maternal grandmother's place . They were going to sleep there for the night . Wang Yao's mother decided that she would follow along .
After dinner, Wang Yao received a call from Tong Wei . They arranged to meet the next day .
"Who was that? Was it Tong Wei?" His mom asked . Her hearing was very sharp .
"Yeap, she has returned . I'm going to meet her tomorrow," Wang Yao replied .
"Okay, then go quickly . "
Originally, Wang Yao was planning to go to the island to pick her up . However, because of the trip to Beijing, he was delayed and could not make it . Still, he made it a point to tell Tong Wei about it before going .
"Tong Wei? Yao's girlfriend?" His second aunt asked .
"Yes, I have a photo, you know," his mother said . The two ladies then looked at Tong Wei's photo .
"Wow, she's pretty!" Zhang Xiufang praised .
"I've met her . She's not only pretty but also very polite . "
Hearing this, Wang Yao rubbed his forehead . It seemed to him that the most important decision of his life was going to be simply decided by his mother at this moment .
It was almost 8 pm when the family finished eating dinner . Wang Yao's aunt drove over to his grandmother's place, and Wang Yao too drove his own car over . They sat there talking for a little while before Wang Yao returned to Nanshan Hill . After parking the car, he climbed the hill .
"The night sky here is still the best after all!"
Wang Yao sat outside his cottage gazing at the sky . Although nights in Beijing were bustling and exciting, the starry sky was hazy, and the air was not as clean . It definitely could not compare to here, where just gazing at the stars made one's emotions calm down very well .

He lulled outside for a long while before turning in for the night .
The next day, as the sky just started to brighten, he woke up and went to the outcrop on the hill .
His movements were twisting and turning, guided along by his heart and his instincts . Along with the movements came the sound of air exploding .
Far in the distant horizon, the sun creeped out over the side, shining its rays across the skies and lighting up the earth .
On the outcrop, Wang Yao's body seemed to be lit up in a golden glow .
After a round of martial arts practice, Wang Yao went down the hill to tend to his herb fields .
"San Xian, I'm going down the hill . Help me look after this place . "
Woof Woof Woof!
Wang Yao moved a few pieces of stone, and all of a sudden, around the herbal fields, the trees seemingly grew dense . There didn't seem to be a route out .
After going down the hill, Wang Yao returned home for a meal . He then talked to his dad before driving into Lianshan county . He bought some items from the supermarket before heading to Tong Wei's house . After not seeing each other for many days, Tong Wei was still as beautiful as ever . She had however lost some weight, and she looked somewhat more tired .
This time, her parent's attitudes towards Wang Yao was remarkably better . They were smiling as they poured him water and served him fruits . Tong Wei's mother's complexion was also much better compared to the last time he came . Clearly, this was the effects of the medicinal soup that Wang Yao had made previously .
"It seems that work has been tiring for you?" Wang Yao asked, concerned .
"Yeah, recently the company has been pretty busy," Tong Wei replied, smiling . Her voice sounded somewhat hoarse .
"Work is important, but health is even more important! Don't overwork yourself . "
"I won't . It's just for this period, after that it'll be fine . "
After spending some time at Tong Wei's house, they decided to go out to walk around .
Lianshan County was a very small county, and in all honesty, there was no place particularly worth going to . If they were in Beijing, there would be many more places for them to go to . Just gardens and parks alone, there were already a variety to choose from . There were even more choices of places for going on a date .
"Where are we headed?"

"Uhm, I haven't thought about it . "
"Take your time deciding," Wang Yao said as he slowly cruised his car along the road .
Lianshan County's more famous landmark was Jiulian hill . However, it was labor day today, and the people going there were bound to be plentiful . It would definitely be crowded, and Wang Yao didn't particularly like crowded places .
"How about watching a movie?"
"Sure!" Wang Yao replied after hearing that .
A foreign romance movie was being shown at the cinema that day . Most of the people visiting the cinema were young couples, and the two of them quickly found a corner to sit down in to watch the movie and talk .
"Are you done with the business in Beijing?"
"Not yet, I've got to return to Beijing in a while," Wang Yao replied softly .
"In a few days, I've got to go out for a while too . "
"Out? Out of the country? Where to?"
"France . "
"France? Why?"
"My company's headquarters is based in France . They will periodically send employees over there for training . This time, I've also been included in the training list . "
"How long will you be gone?"
"About a month . "
"Do you want to go?"
"I would like to take a look," Tong Wei replied, turning to look at Wang Yao .
"Then go and take a look . "
The two of them spoke softly while watching the movie, just like another couple near them . Time passed like this .

At noon, they selected a restaurant near the cinema for lunch .
"Where are we going in the afternoon?"
"How about just walking around?"
Wang Yao drove along the recently built riverside road . After driving for a bit, he turned and headed for a more distant place .
There was really nothing to see along this road .
"Hey, there's a strawberry garden over there . Should we take a look?" Tong Wei suddenly pointed, spotting a sign by the side of the road .
"Sure . "
Wang Yao turned into the shop . Its driveway was relatively big .
In the strawberry garden, there were quite a few people . These days, whenever it came to the holidays, there would surely be a crowd at any fun locations you could think of . Even a small famous bend along the road would likely be crowded by people . This was a result of raising the standard of living . People would start to spend more readily, and they would also begin to travel around more regularly .
Think about it, was there anything delicious about these strawberries? What about plucking them? People who came here came just to have some fun and relaxation .
Tong Wei evidently liked it very much . She was happily plucking the strawberries, clearly enjoying herself .
They spent about an hour in the strawberry garden before heading back .
"Wow, we picked quite a bit . Bring some back for your mom and dad to try," Tong Wei said .
"Okay . "
That night, they had arranged to eat dinner at Tong Wei's house . Along the way, Wang Yao received a call . It was Wang Mingbao, and the person looking for him was Wei Hai . It turns out that Mr . Wei was being paranoid again and wanted Wang Yao to check on him .
"Okay, I got it . Tell him I'll be there soon . "
"What's wrong?"
"Something popped up . I need to see a patient . Should I send you home first?"
"Okay, go ahead," Tong Wei replied, smiling .
After sending Tong Wei back, Wang Yao then drove over to Wei Hai's place .
"My apologies, Doctor Wang . " After seeing Wang Yao, Wei Hai was exhilarated . He had been waiting at the shop for quite some time already .
"Master Wei, you seem to be doing fine!" Wang Yao said .
"Hey, why is it that after not seeing me for a few days you're now calling me something different? Just call me by my name," Wei Hai said .
"How could I!"
"Quick, come in . I have some Huangshan Maofeng for you to try . " Upon entering Weihai's teashop, Weihai began to prepare a pot of tea for Wang Yao . Watching him, it was evident that he was very familiar with the art of tea preparation, and it was clear that he had a lot of practice .
"Wow, this tea is great!"
"Haha, recently I've not had much trouble . I've stopped drinking and smoking; now I've changed to drinking tea!"
"That's good to hear! When drunken correctly, tea benefits the body . You should drink less alcohol, and as for smoking, there's also no need for it . "
Not long later, Wang Mingbao turned up .
"Hmm, there's tea again?"
"Come, try some," Wei Hai said .
…
The tea was temporarily put aside, and Wang Yao placed his hand on Wei Hai's arm, three inches above his wrist .
"The disease has not worsened, in fact, it has reduced . Do you still have more medicine?"
"I've used it all," Wei Hai replied . If it wasn't for that, he would not be so anxious . He was afraid that the illness that he had spent so much time recovering from would take a bad turn if he missed a few doses of the medicine .
"Okay, then, tomorrow I'll give you a few more doses of the medicine," Wang Yao replied .
"Okay, great!" Wei Hai said happily . He was just waiting for Wang Yao to say this .
