"Qiaoqiao, I'm still a little confused looking at you now. Have you really come back? Are you staying in the village?" Wu Jing stood up with her knees supported, and sat down on a stool that had been dried just yesterday. She glanced sideways at Lily Lian who was busy planting flowers in the corner, then looked at the beautiful farmyard in front of her, and a smile crept up her cheeks.

A month ago, this was a small courtyard with mud houses, which is common in rural areas. Now it has been renovated into a courtyard with white walls and red tiles. Outside the house, a row of dense trees stretch from a distance, surrounding the courtyard. The green, yellow, cherry-red fruits are dotted among the green leaves. Most of the branches extend into the courtyard, like a big hand, casting a large shadow. In the courtyard, a variety of small flowers are planted along the wall, like elves jumping on the white wall. On the fence of the courtyard, there are large groups of hydrangeas and many flowers that cannot be named, making the small white house very colorful.

Lily Lian told Wu Jing more than a month ago that she wanted to go back to her hometown to retire and renovate her grandparents' house to turn it into a B&B. Wu Jing thought she was joking. After all, her best friend graduated from a 985 university and won gold medals in various venture capital competitions while in school. Her startup company was acquired and made a lot of money. Before graduation, many venture capital companies offered her olive branches, which were opportunities that others would not want. She thought Lily Lian would have a future that everyone envied, but she went back to her hometown just like that.

Lily Lian wore a sun hat and buried his head in digging the soil to plant flowers. Without even raising his head, he said, "The city is full of tricks. I want to go back to the countryside."

Wu Jing chuckled, and acted like a village official. She straightened her back, put her hands on her H!ps and said, "You're right. We need people like you in rural construction." Before Lily Lian could speak, her eyes lit up and she said, "To be honest, you might as well be a village official with me instead of running a B&B."

"That's enough," Lily Lian turned to look at her, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "I asked you to help, not to turn me against me." Then he pushed her leg and urged: "Hurry up, after these flowers are planted, we can officially open."

I'm only in my early twenties, but I want to cultivate my character in a place surrounded by mountains and rivers, enjoy rural life, and live with the temperament of a sixty-year-old. I'm afraid Lily Lian is the only one who can do it.

Wu Jing snorted, moved down from the stool, waved her hand and said, "I won't try to persuade you to rebel. You can just be a salted fish. But I really want you to come back and accompany me. Look, there are only old people and children left in this village. There are no young people. I don't even have anyone to talk to." As she spoke, she hugged Lily Lian and rubbed her shoulders.

"Hey, let me go!" Lily Lian was almost squeezed to the ground by her. He pushed her away with force, glanced at her sideways, wiped the broken hair on his forehead, and smiled weirdly: "Nonsense, Zheng Yuan is not a human being?"

As if he had hit the nail on the head, Wu Jing suddenly blushed and became shy. Her voice softened as she said, "Zheng Yuan said we'll celebrate the opening of your B&B at his place tonight."

Lily Lian looked at her like that, holding back her laughter, lowered her head, nudged her with her elbow, and said, "Why don't you hurry up!"

"Okay, Miss!" Wu Jing immediately returned to normal and buried her head in planting flowers. She couldn't stop, and asked while digging the soil: "Will the person who booked the room arrive tomorrow?"
 
Lily Lian said "hmm" but didn't stop working.

Originally, her B&B was not going to open so soon. First, her grandparents had gone to her father's house and had not come back yet, so there was no one to cook. Second, she wanted to leave it empty for a few days after the renovation to get rid of the smell. But a few days ago, when she was tinkering with the B&B online, she accidentally clicked the publish button, and in just a few seconds, someone placed an order. She couldn't ask them to cancel it. For a B&B that had just been launched and had a few people booking, it was a great thing. She had to speed up the project and rush to finish it ahead of schedule.

Lily Lian and Wu Jing were busy until about six o'clock, and after they had basically finished the work, they went to Zheng Yuan's orchard.

Zheng Yuan was standing at the orchard gate. He saw them from a distance and came over to them. He grinned and said, "The food is ready. Let's eat in the orchard."

"In the orchard?" Lily Lian looked at Zheng Yuan in surprise. Before Zheng Yuan could speak, she looked forward, paused, and ran over with her eyes shining. She exclaimed, "Hey, Brother Yuan, you are so good!"

Zheng Yuan looked at her, lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.

There was an open tent in front of the orchard. A circle of small colored lights hung on the gray tent, which was shining against the setting sun. Behind it was a green orchard with fruits hanging on the branches. There was a low table and three folding chairs in the tent. There was a candlestick on the table with the wick swaying slightly. There were also fruits, beer, snacks, salads, and pasta.

It has quite a flavor.

Everything in front of her was enough to amaze Qian Lily Lian, but what was even more incredible to her was that there was a retro-styled Bluetooth speaker in the tent, playing country music.

Zheng Yuan walked over, one hand behind his back, the other scratching the back of his head, his cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "I don't know if you like it."

Lily Lian patted his shoulder, pulled out a chair and sat down, throwing a small tomato into her mouth. It was a little cold. She had a grim expression on her face for a moment and said, "I like it so much. I didn't expect Brother Yuan to be so romantic." Then she looked at Wu Jing and blinked.

Wu Jing blushed, responded with a shy smile, and walked towards the tent. When she passed Zheng Yuan, she paused and glanced at him casually, her eyes sparkling with joy. Then she walked past him and sat next to Lily Lian, patted the chair next to her, and said, "Come and sit down."

Zheng Yuan glanced at Lily Lian who was eating a cherry tomato, walked over, sat down, and said a little embarrassedly: "I learned it all from the Internet."

Lily Lian's cheeks were puffed with small tomatoes. She squinted her eyes and gave him a thumbs up.

Lily Lian and Wu Jing were high school classmates and best friends, and they didn’t separate until they went to college. After graduation, Wu Jing passed the exam to become a village official and was assigned to Lily Lian’s hometown. Zheng Yuan is from the same village, three years older than them, 25 years old. After graduating from college, he returned to his hometown to contract an orchard and started an e-commerce business. Although Lily Lian grew up in the city, she would go back to her hometown every winter and summer vacation when she was a child. At that time, she would follow Zheng Yuan around all day long, and the two were like brother and sister.

Now the three of them sat together and found it incredible.

"I really didn't expect you to return to the countryside." Zheng Yuan lowered his head, opened the pull ring of a bottle of beer, handed it to Lily Lian, raised it, and said, "Come, let's celebrate the opening of your homestay first."

Lily Lian took it, smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Yuan, you have said it many times, come and pinch me, I mean it." Then he stretched out his arm.

Zheng Yuan looked at her, pushed her away, opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Wu Jing, then opened another bottle for himself.

Lily Lian couldn't wait any longer. She bent her body slightly and nestled in a small chair, holding beer in both hands and stamping her feet. Her eyes curved into crescents of joy. After seeing that both of them were ready, she raised her beer and cheered, "Wish I can enter old age early!"

The three of them burst into laughter, and the other two said in unison: "Congratulations on the opening of Qiaoqiao B&B!" Then the three of them clinked their glasses, and the wine splashed out like fireworks. The three of them smiled at each other, raised their heads and drank in big gulps.

"Tomorrow the villagers will go out to have some fun, what are you preparing?" Zheng Yuan put down the wine jar and looked at Lily Lian. Wu Jing immediately looked at Lily Lian and nodded to ask.

Lily Lian was a little confused. She looked at Zheng Yuan with a puzzled look on her face and asked, "What are you preparing for?"

"You will open your business tomorrow, and the villagers will come to visit you." Zheng Yuan saw Lily Lian's puzzled expression, smiled, patted her shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, everyone will give you some eggs or something, don't worry, I'll come tomorrow."

"Everyone knows that I'm opening tomorrow?" Lily Lian didn't want to make a big fanfare for the opening. He just wanted to open the store in the morning like any other day.

Zheng Yuan looked at Lily Lian, who had a blank face, and nodded. Wu Jing smiled and said, "What secrets can there be in the village? If someone's dog is about to give birth, it will spread all over the village in a matter of minutes."

Lily Lian opened her eyes wide and asked, "And then?"

"Then go get the puppy." Wu Jing smiled, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Do you want one?"

Lily Lian: "Yes!"

The three of them ate and drank, laughed and talked about the orchard, life and the future. Later, they were a little drunk. Their rosy faces were vivid and colorful under the background of small colored lights. At this moment, Lily Lian's cell phone rang.

She picked it up and saw it was an unfamiliar number, so she answered it without thinking much.

"Hello," Lily Lian's voice was a little lazy after drinking. After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his voice: "Who are you?"

Zheng Yuan and Wu Jing seemed to sober up and looked at her with wide eyes.

Lily Lian, who was dazed, suddenly opened her eyes and checked her phone again and again: "Now?" Then she was silent for a few seconds, as if to calm herself down, and said: "I'll be there soon, please wait a moment." After she hung up the phone, she looked at Wu Jing and said: "The guest who was coming tomorrow said he is at the door now."

"Ah?" Wu Jing was still a little confused and stared at her in a daze.

"I'll go first. People are waiting for me." Lily Lian said as he stood up. Suddenly, his body swayed and he was supported by Zheng Yuan who stood up too.

"Let's go. I'll go back with you." Zheng Yuan said as he walked out.
 
Lily Lian stood firm and waved her hand: "No, no, you take Jingjing back, she's far away." She glanced at her phone and said: "It's almost time to go back, thank you Brother Yuan for today."

Zheng Yuan looked at Lily Lian, then at Wu Jing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, call us if you have anything." Wu Jing's dormitory was in the town, a little far away, and Lily Lian's homestay was less than ten minutes' walk back. He decided to send Wu Jing first, and then go to the homestay when he came back.

Lily Lian hummed twice, patted Wu Jing on the back, and ran away with his phone.

He said he would arrive tomorrow, but he didn't even tell her he was arriving early, and he didn't call her until he arrived at the door. He wasn't worried that she wouldn't have a room. This guest is really casual, Lily Lian thought as she walked back and kicked the pebbles on the ground. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a tall and slender man standing at the door of the B&B from afar. He stood under the porch light at the door with his head slightly lowered. The dim light brought out his well-proportioned facial features, as if they were carved, with perfect contours and impeccable.

Lily Lian paused unconsciously, and when she slowly raised her foot, a mess of thoughts flashed through her mind. She was so lucky, the first person to check in was a handsome guy, she was really lucky, she thought with a smile on her face, and quickened her pace.

"Hello, are you the one calling me?" Lily Lian walked up to the man, poked her head out and asked.

The man raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, which suddenly caught Lily Lian's eye. Lily Lian's eyes were hazy after drinking, and his slightly narrowed eyes were shining under the corridor lights. He was also stunned for a moment and said, "Yes."

Lily Lian smiled, took out the key, opened the door and said: "I'm sorry, you were supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I was just drinking with friends." As she spoke, the corners of her mouth almost curled up to the sky. From a distance, he looked like a handsome guy, and up close, he was even more amazing. He was so handsome that her heart was pounding. But the handsome guy seemed a little unhappy.

The man followed her, frowning slightly, thinking, drinking is not a good thing, there is no need to tell a stranger. He said "hmm" coldly, without wanting to explain why he came early, and did not apologize. He did not want to say anything more to the boss, he was just here to stay.

Lily Lian was secretly happy and didn't notice the other person's cold mood at all.

There was a wall lamp hanging on the wall of the yard. As soon as he entered the door, the wall lamp turned on, emitting a dim light, but it was just enough to illuminate the surroundings. The moonlight sprinkled down and fell on the flowers and plants in the yard. The man looked at the scene in front of him, paused, took a breath, and exhaled slowly, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression in his heart. He closed his eyes and followed Lily Lian's pace again.

The two entered the house. Lily Lian walked to the front desk and said while turning on the computer: "Your room is the east wing, the suite. Register and I'll take you there." She glanced at the man, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile: "Your ID card."

The man handed over something with a blank expression.

"You are not Chinese?" Lily Lian looked at the passport and then glanced at the man who clearly looked like an oriental man.

The man had a cold expression and smiled stiffly, too lazy to get close to her.

Lily Lian also smiled, still immersed in the fact that the guest was a handsome man. She lowered her head to check in. While entering the information, she muttered softly, her heart was filled with joy.

Just do it, what are you mumbling about? The man looked at her and frowned.

The name is Ying Lu, so he is Chinese, so he is Lucas Lu? Lily Lian smiled in her heart, and her hand that was typing the information suddenly stopped. Lucas Lu? Which Lucas Lu? Lily Lian restrained her smile, raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the man, but when she saw the man's impatient expression, she immediately withdrew her gaze, tilted her head, and was lost in thought with her passport.

Suddenly, a slender hand appeared in Lily Lian's sight and snatched the passport from her hand. Lily Lian leaned forward, then came to her senses and looked up at the man.

"Are you alright?"

"What do you do?"

They both spoke at the same time.

The man lowered his eyebrows, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by an irritable atmosphere. He ignored Lily Lian, looked at her coldly, and said impatiently: "When you are ready, take me to the room."

*In the darkness, candlelight is more useful than sunlight. However, when Yu Yang was eighteen years old, she extinguished her candle with her own hands.

1. When she was 18, everyone said that Yu Yang was "bad". She was bad because she always kept to herself and never got close to her classmates. She was bad because when her classmates got hurt, she only cared about her own unfinished homework. She was bad because when her classmates asked her for help with their homework, she ignored them coldly. Everyone said that her heart was "bad" and she was extremely selfish.

3. At the age of 28, Yu Yang finally realized her dream and became the most famous news investigation host of Jiangcheng TV Station, gaining both fame and fortune.

At this time, Li Xu stood in front of the TV, holding the unused wrench in his hand, staring at the TV screen, and suddenly laughed. A worker's voice came from the side: "Hey, Brother Xu is looking at his sweetheart again."
