The wind was blowing on the hill constantly . Without the noise and heat like Beijing—it was very peaceful in Nanshan hill .
San Xian ran down from his doghouse and wagged his tail happily as he heard Wang Yao’s footsteps .
“Hi, San Xian, you seem to have put on weight in the last few days,” joked Wang Yao .
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Wang Yao found his father was listening to the radio and smoking a cigarette near the herbal field, very relaxed .
“Hi, Dad,” said Wang Yao .
“Hi, Yao, when did you come back? How was everything going in Beijing?” asked Wang Fenghua after turning off the radio .
“I just came back last night . Everything went well in Beijing, but I have to go there again after several weeks,” said Wang Yao . “Would you like to go home?”
“Okay, I can go to sleep early,” said Wang Fenghua .
“Hey, San Xian, walk Dad home,” Wang Yao instructed San Xian who was still wagging his tail .
“I can walk home by myself,” said Wang Fenghua .
Wang Yao insisted that San Xian should follow Wang Fenghua all the way home . He also walked his dad to the foot of Nanshan hill .
“Go back to your cottage . I’m fine . It’s not far for me to walk from here,” said Wang Fenghua .
“Okay, take care,” said Wang Yao .
He returned to his cottage . The wind at night was nice and cool .
Wang Yao sat in front of his cottage and looked at the sky . It was very quiet on the hill .
It is much nicer to be here! So peaceful!
Although life in Beijing was busy and colorful, Wang Yao didn’t think the lifestyle in Beijing suited him .
San Xian came back to the cottage 20 minutes later .
“Is my dad home?” asked Wang Yao .
Woof! Woof! San Xian barked twice, then laid down next to Wang Yao .
Wang Yao slept well every night because he was home . It made him feel comfortable and secure .
Wang Yao got up very early the next morning . He went up to the top of Nanshan hill and started to practice Tai Chi on a big rock .
The wind was blowing, and the water was dancing . The wind was still blowing, but the water hadn’t risen .
After Wang Yao had finished practicing Tai Chi, he returned to the herbal field . He walked around his field to take a closer look at the herbs . The licorice roots were growing very well . The Detoxing grass, Moonlight grass, Polygonum stem and iron plum flower were all growing very well . The newly planted common herbs were all sprouting . They grew even faster than the licorice roots .
Very good .
A black spot was moving in the sky; it was Da Xia inspecting his territory . San Xian was staring at the hills in the distance in his dog house and thinking about the meaning of a dog’s life .
Well, it’s time to get back to the story .
Wang Yao spent the whole morning summarizing what had happened in Beijing and his thoughts in his cottage .
He had a lot to do in the near future .
His mother cooked a banquet for lunch to welcome him home .
“Wow, you cooked a banquet!” exclaimed Wang Yao .
“They are all your favorite dishes . Eat as much as you can,” said Zhang Xiuying .
“Okay,” said Wang Yao with a smile .
Although he had tried Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine in Beijing, for Wang Yao, the dishes cooked by Zhang Xiuying were the best in the world . They were cooked with love and care by his mother .
“The Dragon Boat Festival is tomorrow . Is Tong Wei going to come back?” asked Zhang Xiuying while having lunch . She cared more about her future daughter-in-law .
“Yes . I’ve called her . I will pick her up at Dao City in the afternoon,” said Wang Yao .
“Good,” said Zhang Xiuying .
Before coming back to the village, Wang Yao had called Tong Wei when he was still in Beijing . He promised to bring her home for the Dragon Boat Festival .
He drove to Dao City right away after lunch .
Dao City was over 200 kilometers away from Lianshan . It would take over three hours for Wang Yao to arrive at Dao City .
Meanwhile, Tong Wei was in a boutique office at Dao City .
A young man in a formal suit came to the office rented to a certain company with a big bunch of flowers . He was smiling and looked confident .
“Wow, this is the ninth time he came with flowers, right?” asked one of the employees in the office .
“Is Tong Wei going to turn him down again?” said the receptionist .
“I’m not sure what she’s thinking,” said the employee .
“She’s just pretentious,” said a young woman .
“I heard she’s got a boyfriend already,” said the receptionist .
“So what? This is Mr . Song! Don’t tell me you don’t know who his father is! A billionaire!” said the young woman .
“Do you think everyone is as material as you?” said the receptionist .
“Tong Wei, someone’s here for you!” said one of Tong Wei’s colleagues .
Tong Wei, who was professionally dressed, lifted her head .
“Not again!” complained Tong Wei .
“Don’t turn him down . He is really into you and so rich! Where can you find such a good man!” said a young girl sitting next to Tong Wei . She wore light makeup and had a hot figure .
“Stop it! Why don’t you go out with him?” said Tong Wei .
“I actually want to, but he’s not into me,” said the young girl .
“Tong Wei, just talk to him . You can’t leave him waiting outside . After all, he is one of our most important clients!” said the receptionist .
Tong Wei could do nothing but stand up and walk out .
“Good afternoon, my goddess . ” The handsome young man walked towards Tong Wei with a big bunch of roses .
“I’ve told you that I’ve got a boyfriend,” said Tong Wei .
“As long as you are not married, I still have a chance,” said the young man with a smile .
“Please stop sending me flowers,” said Tong Wei .
“I fell in love with you since the first time I laid my eyes on you . You are the only girl I want to be with in this world,” said Mr . Song emotionally . His look was also sincere .
Most girls would probably be moved by those words, but Tong Wei was not interested .
“I need to get back to work . Goodbye,” said Tong Wei .
She turned around and walked into the office .
“I know you will accept me one day . Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come out to see me . I won’t give up!” said Mr . Song softly .
“You are the only person in the world I want to be with . Wow, I’m so moved!” joked Tong Wei’s colleague .
“Stop it!” Tong Wei rolled her eyes .
“I heard he has a penthouse in Dao City with an ocean view . You can see the ocean from the balcony . That is so romantic! Just don’t turn him down completely,” said Tong Wei’s colleague .
“I think we should get back to work . My boyfriend is going to pick me up this afternoon,” said Tong Wei .
“Hey, let me take a look at who is our golden girl so attracted to . Let me see what he looks like,” said Tong Wei’s colleague .
The vehicle was traveling fast on the street .
We met on a long road .
Please cherish our valuable encounter .
You will have my blessing .
Wang Yao was listening to an old classic song .
A city appeared in front of Wang Yao’s eyes sometime later .
He drove straight to where Tong Wei worked and parked the vehicle in the underground parking garage .
It was not his first time visiting Tong Wei’s workplace . He came here last time, but he didn’t go upstairs to Tong Wei’s office .
He took out his phone and called Tong Wei’s, but the line was busy . Wang Yao waited for a while in his vehicle . After some time, he decided to get out of the vehicle to take a look at Tong Wei’s workplace .
“I’m serious this time . I’m not fooling around,”
“She works in the company I mentioned to you last time… yes… yes,”
“Her name is Tong Wei,” said a handsome young man .
What?! Wang Yao overheard Tong Wei’s name .
He stopped suddenly and tried to find out who was speaking . Then he saw a handsome young man talking on the phone in a white Porsche sports car .
“I’m chasing after her . ”
“Hey, do you want to bet? Give me one month, and she will be my wife . ”
“No! No! I mean it this time . I’ve told you that!” said the young man .
He’s talking about Tong Wei and the company she works in . It shouldn’t be a coincidence .
Ring! Wang Yao’s phone started to ring . He took a look and saw Tong Wei’s number .
“Hello, did you call me just now?” asked Tong Wei .
“Yes, I’ve arrived in Dao City,” said Wang Yao .
“Great! Do you want to wait for me at my unit?” asked Tong Wei .
“Actually I’m in the parking garage of your workplace . By the way, is there anyone else called Tong Wei in your company?” said Wang Yao .
“Of course not! Why do you ask me this?” asked Tong Wei curiously .
“Nothing, just curious,” said Wang Yao . He hung up the phone after talking to Tong Wei for a short while .
“So weird!” murmured Tong Wei after hanging up the phone .
“What? Your boyfriend called you?” asked Tong Wei’s colleague .
“Yes, he’s here already,” said Tong Wei with a smile . She seemed to really be in love .
“Look at you! You are really into him! Are you going to have a very romantic night with him?” said Tong Wei’s colleague .
“Hey, you should probably find a lover yourself!” said Tong Wei .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao walked slowly towards the young man making a phone call in the Porsche sports car .
The young man was wearing a formal suit and looked well-educated . He should be from a wealthy family as he drove a Porsche .
Wang Yao was not in a good mood . So the young man would probably be in trouble soon .
Ouch!
The young man suddenly squatted on the floor, as if he were attacked by an electric shock .
“Are you okay?” asked Wang Yao with a smile .
He was about one meter away from the young man .
“I’m… I’m fine,” said the young man .
He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist just now, as if he were stabbed by a thick needle . It was so painful that he kept sweating and almost screamed out .
“You don’t look well . You should go to the hospital if you are sick,” said Wang Yao .
“I’m fine, thank you,” said the young man .
“You are welcome,” said Wang Yao with a smile . He looked absolutely innocent .
