Ling Zhenfei knew that this would be very beneficial for Chunyu's progress. If one practiced cultivation alone, it would be akin to sitting in a well and observing the sky. But now, having someone to spar with would let her improve rapidly.

Ling Zhenfei returned home as quickly as possible, and after a while, Chunyu came back as well.

Zhou Yun had already gotten up to cook and soon prepared the meal. The three of them sat together to eat, but each with their own thoughts, eating silently.

Zhou Yun and Ling Zhenfei were thinking about last night's events, while Chunyu was thinking about how to defeat Bai Mei, so no one spoke.

Zhou Yun then said, "Zhenfei, we're planning to move into the new house in the next few days."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Alright, but I have to go back to the city today. I might not have time to help with the move. You can have Zhou Jian bring some people to help you."

Zhou Yun glanced at Ling Zhenfei, and their eyes met with a hint of awkwardness.

"Actually, there's not much to move. The new house already has all the furniture, thanks to President Chen. I'm just reminding you not to go to the wrong place when you come back."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "I've lived here for over twenty years. It's possible I might go to the wrong place. I don't know why, but I feel a bit reluctant."

"What are you reluctant about, this home or the memories here?" Zhou Yun smiled faintly, clearly implying something else.

Ling Zhenfei said, "A bit of both, I suppose. But people always have to move forward. We can't stop just because we can't let go."

"But even if we leave this place, can we really forget everything?" Zhou Yun's expression seemed to dive into memories, showing a faint pain.

"Even if we can't forget, it's better than staying here."

What they were saying might only make sense to the two of them. Chunyu, who was eating beside them, was puzzled, not understanding what they were talking about. Wasn't it just moving houses? Why did it have to be so profound?

"Brother, Sister-in-law, what are you two talking about? I don't get it."

Zhenfei and Zhou Yun both snapped out of it and said nothing more.

"It's nothing. We were just discussing moving houses. You'll have a new home soon." Zhenfei quickly explained.

"Oh, I think this house is pretty good." Chunyu said unexpectedly.

The three of them continued eating in silence. Zhenfei and Zhou Yun exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with unspoken words. Perhaps Zhou Yun wanted to leave this house to entirely let go of the burdens in her heart.

"By the way, Chunyu, have you eaten all the Heart-Talk Fruits we picked last time? Don't forget to take the seeds with you and plant them in our new yard. Maybe they will grow into new Heart-Talk Fruit trees soon."

"Got it, Brother."

After finishing the meal, Zhenfei drove to pick up He Lingxiu. He Lingxiu had already prepared.

But her outfit left Ling Zhenfei somewhat stunned. As expected of a rural girl, her clothing was excessively rustic, almost hard to look at. Zhenfei didn't say anything.

He Lingxiu had rarely left the village and had never seen the outside world. She was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so there was no need to make a big deal out of it. She would need time to adapt.

Zhenfei then picked up Bai Lin and Xue Fei before heading to the city.

Ling Zhenfei had previously arranged a place for learning Western cuisine and left Bai Lin and Xue Fei there to study. They had a week to learn because Xi Shan Restaurant would open in ten days, and there wasn't much time.

It was just to give them a basic understanding of Western cuisine. Zhenfei still needed to hire a professional Western chef, so he didn't expect Bai Lin and Xue Fei to know much about it.

After dropping off Bai Lin and Xue Fei, Ling Zhenfei took He Lingxiu to Binyang Hospital. He had informed Chen Dafu that he would be bringing a girl for an internship.

Chen Dafu, eager to have Zhenfei's apprentice intern at their hospital, expressed his gratitude and arranged to meet at the hospital.

Zhenfei didn't head directly to Binyang Hospital but took He Lingxiu to a large department store instead.

He Lingxiu rarely visited such high-end places, feeling curious.

"Brother Afei, why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Zhenfei smiled and said, "Of course, to buy you some new clothes. Look at yours, they've been worn for years. Your jeans are practically worn out. Today, you can pick anything you like."

He Lingxiu glanced around and said, "Brother Afei, these stores are so upscale. They must be expensive. I don't need such costly clothes; we can just buy from the street markets."

Zhenfei said, "Don't worry. Your Brother Afei has money now, not like the old days when I was dead broke. My money is your money; why be so polite?"

"Besides, this mall has several floors. We're on the second floor, which sells branded clothes but not the expensive ones. Just several hundred yuan each. The expensive ones are on the third and fourth floors."

He Lingxiu finally felt at ease and started to wander around the mall. To be honest, Zhenfei wasn't very experienced in shopping with girls, so he wasn't very good at it.

They visited several stores, and He Lingxiu hesitated, buying nothing.

Zhenfei felt a bit anxious. Given his character, he would have just bought a few good-looking items in one store and been done with it.

"Hey, Ling Zhenfei!"

At that moment, someone suddenly called Zhenfei's name. Both he and He Lingxiu turned around in surprise.

Zhenfei recognized the voice as a girl's. Looking back, he saw that the person calling him was Jiu Jiu.

Jiu Jiu was dressed in a light green long coat with a white top and black skirt underneath, white tights, and long boots.

At that moment, Jiu Jiu looked at Zhenfei with a joyful expression, but seeing He Lingxiu beside him, her joy turned to surprise.

"Who's this, your girlfriend? Am I interrupting?"

Zhenfei smiled slightly and said, "No, it's just a coincidence. This is my sister, He Lingxiu."

He introduced He Lingxiu and Jiu Jiu to each other, explaining that He Lingxiu was his sister and Jiu Jiu was a friend.

"What do you know about buying clothes, being a man? Lingxiu is so pretty. Any clothes can make her look stunning."

Jiu Jiu glanced at He Lingxiu. Despite her ordinary clothes, He Lingxiu's appearance and figure were undeniably striking. Even as the village belle of Qinghe Village, she held her own in the city.

Jiu Jiu was very beautiful, of course, and her figure was unparalleled.
