“This is… so exquisite,” Xiang Yang and Shi Xiu marveled as they crowded around the painting, not even daring to stretch out their hands to touch it.

Fang Xi knew about the painting beforehand. She smiled and sighed, “From sketch to embroidery, it took Yun Nan three years to complete this painting; she put her heart into every pencil stroke and stitch.”

Yun Nan smiled and hung the painting on the wall in the middle of the restaurant hall. Looking at it, she said, “This is the only thing I can do for them. They didn’t even have a decent photo together when they were alive.”

Shi Nian and Ye Kun walked around the restaurant. It used to be a small noodle shop. There were only six tables, and all the supplies and equipment were arranged neatly. Only there was a lot of dust.

Two female neighbors came over and greeted them in surprise, “Yun Nan, you’re back! We just heard that several people had come and were wondering if it was you.”

Yun Nan immediately ran over to hug them. “Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang! How are you guys?”

“Good, good. We’re all doing fine,” Aunt Zhang replied, smiling so widely her eyes were crescents.

The two women sized Yun Nan up, and Aunt Zhang commented, “You seem to have grown even taller, and you look so pretty!”

Aunt Wang chuckled, “Our Yun Nan has always been good-looking. She has always been a beauty since she was a kid!”

Aunt Zhang glanced at the others and lowered her voice to say, “You brought your friends home? Come over to my house for lunch; your kitchen appliances and tools haven’t been used for so long, it’s best not to cook here.”

Yun Nan called everyone over to introduce them to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m married now. This is my husband, Shi Nian.”

Shi Nian bowed slightly and greeted, “Hello, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Wang.”

The two aunties were dumbfounded. They shared a look and turned to walk out. Shi Nian was stunned at their reaction and looked back at his companions. Ye Kun seized the opportunity and mocked, “Well, Young Master Shi, looks like you scared them away.”

He’d barely finished speaking when he heard a loud shout from outside. “Everyone, come take a look! Our Yun Nan got married! Our Yun Nan has come home with our son-in-law! ”

“Yun Nan got married! Yun Nan’s married !”

Yun Nan buried her face in her hands, and Shi Nian looked like he’d blanked out. Xiang Yang, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu all burst into laughter.

“Okay…” Ye Kun remarked. “Seems like we’ve become the zoo attraction again!”

The entrance of the shop swiftly became packed with people. Everyone was talking and laughing as they looked at Shi Nian. Yun Nan introduced her friends to everyone and dragged Shi Nian over to greet the neighbors who had watched her grow up. It was an extremely lively scene.

Ye Kun also stopped fooling around and took out all the gifts that Shi Nian had prepared; only then did he understand why Shi Nian had prepared so many things—he’d probably expected such a scene. ‘Shi Nian has always been so smart, but would it kill him to tell me beforehand? I was so shocked by this huge crowd!’ Ye Kun inwardly grumbled.

“Wow! Yun Nan and her adoptive parents sure are popular in this area,” Ye Kun whispered to Fang Xi.

Fang Xi also lowered her voice and said, “Of course, her adoptive parents were popular; when they were alive, they would help out anyone if they had any problems. Later, when they passed away, the whole neighborhood took care of Yun Nan. She grew up here so when she heard that the town wanted her to help with some publicity, she agreed without another word. Think about it! At this juncture, you can imagine the kind of benefits and money we would get if we continued to promote our movie, but instead, we’re here doing pro bono work. It’s not surprising Yun Nan and her adoptive parents are so popular.”

Ye Kun nodded repeatedly and couldn’t help but admire Yun Nan a little more. He looked at Fang Xi and felt that Fang Xi was even more amazing. “It’s great that you two are such loyal and caring friends!” he told her.

Fang Xi smiled proudly. Ye Kun was filled with joy seeing Fang Xi like this. He was startled when Xiang Yang patted him unexpectedly.

Xiang Yang teased, “Ye Kun, your eyes have been glued to Fang Xi the entire time. Why don’t you take a look around? The scenery here is beautiful! Look at all the flowers, plants, and trees here.”

“Fang Xi is the only thing on his mind now,” Shi Xiu said before Ye Kun could reply. “The only flower he can see is Fang Xi.”

Ye Kun chuckled and nodded in agreement. Fang Xi playfully smacked him. “They’re making fun of you, but you’re still nodding along? Are you stupid or what?”

Ye Kun countered, “They’re right. No view is as beautiful as you.”

Xiang Yang and Shi Xiu covered their ears and ran away, complaining, “Geez, that’s so mushy I can’t take it anymore!”

Fang Xi rolled her eyes at Ye Kun, but her heart felt warm. It was really a joy to be liked. When a man’s heart and mind are filled by you, and he isn’t stingy in expressing it, you’ll feel a warm sense of security. Fang Xi had never experienced this before and let Ye Kun hold her hand and pull her along.

The whole town became lively. As the skies darkened and the lights came on, everyone had already set up long tables by the street. Every family brought out their own dishes and placed them on the tables; there was food to eat from the alley’s entrance to the end of the street. It was a scene even livelier than New
