Yu Songyu found a secluded spot and stored everything away in her space. She wanted to take a stroll alone in this familiar city. Under the neon lights, her shadow stretched long and thin.
Passing by a candied hawthorn shop, she decided to buy a skewer. She remembered that this shop had been around since she was little; back then, on her way home from school, the three of them would often stop by for a skewer each, laughing and chatting all the way home.
However, time had changed everything. Who could have imagined that they would end up like this? With that thought, Yu Songyu lost her appetite for the candied hawthorn and stored it away in her space.
This time, she paid attention to the time; it was half past eleven at night, and her phone battery was low. Lying on the warm kang that Aunt Wang had prepared, Yu Songyu felt completely relaxed.
Aunt Wang's house didn’t have a clock, making it inconvenient to check the time; she noted to herself that she should buy one next time. Now that she had bought her things, she could wear the thermal clothing and Down Jacket Vest directly under her winter coat, but what about the gloves and scarf?
Many people knew that her belongings had been thrown out by that wicked woman, Wang Xiuli. She certainly couldn’t openly bring these items out now. It seemed she needed to find an excuse to go into town—perhaps say that her parents had sent her something; that way, it would seem more reasonable to take them out.
Parents? If she hadn’t thought of this today, she wouldn’t have remembered that she actually had parents. In her memory, they had treated her well. Besides her parents, she also had two older brothers in this era—her eldest brother Yu Qingsong and Yu Songbai—both serving in the military.
She hadn’t expected to have relatives who treated her well in this time.
As she drifted off to sleep, she didn’t know how long it was before someone knocked on the door. She struggled to wake up, but her body wouldn’t cooperate; after tossing and turning for a while with no success, she finally gave up and fell back into a deep sleep.
At breakfast, Aunt Wang told her that Yang Qinghe had come early in the morning and brought a wild rabbit for her to nourish herself.
For me?
Yu Songyu was puzzled. After all, one shouldn’t receive gifts without merit; why would he bring meat for her? Besides, he was still her creditor.
"Of course! He just saw you looking weak and wanted to help you regain your strength! That young man is quite thoughtful," Aunt Wang praised him generously. In her eyes, Yang Qinghe was just like a son—always good in every way.
Yu Songyu hadn’t considered that Yang Qinghe could be so attentive; however, she really didn’t want to owe him any favors.
She wanted to eat meat, and in the modern world, it would be easy to do so. However, she appreciated the kind gesture. She made a mental note to repay him in the future.
Yu Songyu attributed this to his role as the Production Leader and his concern for the new Zhiqing, not thinking too much about it.
On her way up the mountain, Yu Songyu had planned to thank Yang Qinghe in person when she encountered him. To her surprise, she saw Wang Xiuli walking closely beside Yang Qinghe, seemingly engaged in conversation.
Since that was the case, it would be inconvenient for her to approach and express her gratitude. She decided to keep her distance and follow behind them.
To be honest, she admired Wang Xiuli. Despite having embarrassed herself in front of everyone that day, she now appeared completely unfazed. Yu Songyu wondered why Wang Xiuli was so attached to Yang Qinghe, but it didn’t matter to her; she would just have to find another opportunity to thank him.
During lunch, after a busy morning, Yang Qinghe finally had a moment to rest. Yu Songyu quickly took out the lunchbox that Aunt Wang had prepared for him from her bag and walked over to hand it to Yang Qinghe.
"Captain Yang, thank you for the rabbit you sent! This is a special meal from Aunt Wang just for you!"
"No, you should eat it!"
