Reading the book of cla.s.sic scripture helped wash away the hubbub of the Beijing trip .

As w.a.n.g Yao settled himself down, he once again thought about Su Xiaoxue's condition which he had put aside . Time pa.s.sed 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 w.a.n.g Yao's maternal grandmother's place . They were going to sleep there for the night . w.a.n.g Yao's mother decided that she would follow along .

After dinner, w.a.n.g 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," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"Okay, then go quickly . "

Originally, w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g 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 . w.a.n.g Yao's aunt drove over to his grandmother's place, and w.a.n.g Yao too drove his own car over . They sat there talking for a little while before w.a.n.g Yao returned to Nanshan Hill . After parking the car, he climbed the hill .

"The night sky here is still the best after all!"

w.a.n.g 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, s.h.i.+ning its rays across the skies and lighting up the earth .

On the outcrop, w.a.n.g Yao's body seemed to be lit up in a golden glow .

After a round of martial arts practice, w.a.n.g 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!

w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g 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 att.i.tudes towards w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yao had made previously .

"It seems that work has been tiring for you?" w.a.n.g Yao asked, concerned .

"Yeah, recently the company has been pretty busy," Tong Wei replied, smiling . Her voice sounded somewhat hoa.r.s.e .

"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," w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yao didn't particularly like crowded places .

"How about watching a movie?"

"Sure!" w.a.n.g 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," w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g Yao .

"Then go and take a look . "

The two of them spoke softly while watching the movie, just like another couple near them . Time pa.s.sed 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?"

w.a.n.g 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 . "

w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g Yao received a call . It was w.a.n.g Mingbao, and the person looking for him was Wei Hai . It turns out that Mr . Wei was being paranoid again and wanted w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g Yao then drove over to Wei Hai's place .

"My apologies, Doctor w.a.n.g . " After seeing w.a.n.g 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!" w.a.n.g 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 w.a.n.g 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, w.a.n.g Mingbao turned up .

"Hmm, there's tea again?"

"Come, try some," Wei Hai said .

…

The tea was temporarily put aside, and w.a.n.g 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," w.a.n.g Yao replied .

"Okay, great!" Wei Hai said happily . He was just waiting for w.a.n.g Yao to say this .

. . . . Reading the book of cla.s.sic scripture helped wash away the hubbub of the Beijing trip .
