The wind was blowing on the hill constantly. Without the noise and heat like Beijing—it was very peaceful in Nanshan hill.

San Xian ran down from his doghouse and wagged his tail happily as he heard Wang Yao’s footsteps.

“Hi, San Xian, you seem to have put on weight in the last few days,” joked Wang Yao.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

Wang Yao found his father was listening to the radio and smoking a cigarette near the herbal field, very relaxed.

“Hi, Dad,” said Wang Yao.

“Hi, Yao, when did you come back? How was everything going in Beijing?” asked Wang Fenghua after turning off the radio.

“I just came back last night. Everything went well in Beijing, but I have to go there again after several weeks,” said Wang Yao. “Would you like to go home?”

“Okay, I can go to sleep early,” said Wang Fenghua.

“Hey, San Xian, walk Dad home,” Wang Yao instructed San Xian who was still wagging his tail.

“I can walk home by myself,” said Wang Fenghua.

Wang Yao insisted that San Xian should follow Wang Fenghua all the way home. He also walked his dad to the foot of Nanshan hill.

“Go back to your cottage. I’m fine. It’s not far for me to walk from here,” said Wang Fenghua.

“Okay, take care,” said Wang Yao.

He returned to his cottage. The wind at night was nice and cool.

Wang Yao sat in front of his cottage and looked at the sky. It was very quiet on the hill.

It is much nicer to be here! So peaceful!

Although life in Beijing was busy and colorful, Wang Yao didn’t think the lifestyle in Beijing suited him.

San Xian came back to the cottage 20 minutes later.

“Is my dad home?” asked Wang Yao.

Woof! Woof! San Xian barked twice, then laid down next to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao slept well every night because he was home. It made him feel comfortable and secure.

Wang Yao got up very early the next morning. He went up to the top of Nanshan hill and started to practice Tai Chi on a big rock.

The wind was blowing, and the water was dancing. The wind was still blowing, but the water hadn’t risen.

After Wang Yao had finished practicing Tai Chi, he returned to the herbal field. He walked around his field to take a closer look at the herbs. The licorice roots were growing very well. The Detoxing grass, Moonlight grass, Polygonum stem and iron plum flower were all growing very well. The newly planted common herbs were all sprouting. They grew even faster than the licorice roots.

Very good.

A black spot was moving in the sky; it was Da Xia inspecting his territory. San Xian was staring at the hills in the distance in his dog house and thinking about the meaning of a dog’s life.

Well, it’s time to get back to the story.

Wang Yao spent the whole morning summarizing what had happened in Beijing and his thoughts in his cottage.

He had a lot to do in the near future.

His mother cooked a banquet for lunch to welcome him home.

“Wow, you cooked a banquet!” exclaimed Wang Yao.

“They are all your favorite dishes. Eat as much as you can,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

Although he had tried Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine in Beijing, for Wang Yao, the dishes cooked by Zhang Xiuying were the best in the world. They were cooked with love and care by his mother.

“The Dragon Boat Festival is tomorrow. Is Tong Wei going to come back?” asked Zhang Xiuying while having lunch. She cared more about her future daughter-in-law.

“Yes. I’ve called her. I will pick her up at Dao City in the afternoon,” said Wang Yao.

“Good,” said Zhang Xiuying.

Before coming back to the village, Wang Yao had called Tong Wei when he was still in Beijing. He promised to bring her home for the Dragon Boat Festival.

He drove to Dao City right away after lunch.

Dao City was over 200 kilometers away from Lianshan. It would take over three hours for Wang Yao to arrive at Dao City.

Meanwhile, Tong Wei was in a boutique office at Dao City.

A young man in a formal suit came to the office rented to a certain company with a big bunch of flowers. He was smiling and looked confident.

“Wow, this is the ninth time he came with flowers, right?” asked one of the employees in the office.

“Is Tong Wei going to turn him down again?” said the receptionist.

“I’m not sure what she’s thinking,” said the employee.

“She’s just pretentious,” said a young woman.

“I heard she’s got a boyfriend already,” said the receptionist.

“So what? This is Mr. Song! Don’t tell me you don’t know who his father is! A billionaire!” said the young woman.

“Do you think everyone is as material as you?” said the receptionist.

“Tong Wei, someone’s here for you!” said one of Tong Wei’s colleagues.

Tong Wei, who was professionally dressed, lifted her head.

“Not again!” complained Tong Wei.

“Don’t turn him down. He is really into you and so rich! Where can you find such a good man!” said a young girl sitting next to Tong Wei. She wore light makeup and had a hot figure.

“Stop it! Why don’t you go out with him?” said Tong Wei.

“I actually want to, but he’s not into me,” said the young girl.

“Tong Wei, just talk to him. You can’t leave him waiting outside. After all, he is one of our most important clients!” said the receptionist.

Tong Wei could do nothing but stand up and walk out.

“Good afternoon, my goddess.” The handsome young man walked towards Tong Wei with a big bunch of roses.

“I’ve told you that I’ve got a boyfriend,” said Tong Wei.

“As long as you are not married, I still have a chance,” said the young man with a smile.

“Please stop sending me flowers,” said Tong Wei.

“I fell in love with you since the first time I laid my eyes on you. You are the only girl I want to be with in this world,” said Mr. Song emotionally. His look was also sincere.

Most girls would probably be moved by those words, but Tong Wei was not interested.

“I need to get back to work. Goodbye,” said Tong Wei.

She turned around and walked into the office.

“I know you will accept me one day. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come out to see me. I won’t give up!” said Mr. Song softly.

“You are the only person in the world I want to be with. Wow, I’m so moved!” joked Tong Wei’s colleague.

“Stop it!” Tong Wei rolled her eyes.

“I heard he has a penthouse in Dao City with an ocean view. You can see the ocean from the balcony. That is so romantic! Just don’t turn him down completely,” said Tong Wei’s colleague.

“I think we should get back to work. My boyfriend is going to pick me up this afternoon,” said Tong Wei.

“Hey, let me take a look at who is our golden girl so attracted to. Let me see what he looks like,” said Tong Wei’s colleague.

The vehicle was traveling fast on the street.

We met on a long road.

Please cherish our valuable encounter.

You will have my blessing.

...

Wang Yao was listening to an old classic song.

A city appeared in front of Wang Yao’s eyes sometime later.

He drove straight to where Tong Wei worked and parked the vehicle in the underground parking garage.

It was not his first time visiting Tong Wei’s workplace. He came here last time, but he didn’t go upstairs to Tong Wei’s office.

He took out his phone and called Tong Wei’s, but the line was busy. Wang Yao waited for a while in his vehicle. After some time, he decided to get out of the vehicle to take a look at Tong Wei’s workplace.

“I’m serious this time. I’m not fooling around,”

“She works in the company I mentioned to you last time... yes... yes,”

“Her name is Tong Wei,” said a handsome young man.

What?! Wang Yao overheard Tong Wei’s name.

He stopped suddenly and tried to find out who was speaking. Then he saw a handsome young man talking on the phone in a white Porsche sports car.

“I’m chasing after her.”

“Hey, do you want to bet? Give me one month, and she will be my wife.”

“No! No! I mean it this time. I’ve told you that!” said the young man.

He’s talking about Tong Wei and the company she works in. It shouldn’t be a coincidence.

Ring! Wang Yao’s phone started to ring. He took a look and saw Tong Wei’s number.

“Hello, did you call me just now?” asked Tong Wei.

“Yes, I’ve arrived in Dao City,” said Wang Yao.

“Great! Do you want to wait for me at my unit?” asked Tong Wei.

“Actually I’m in the parking garage of your workplace. By the way, is there anyone else called Tong Wei in your company?” said Wang Yao.

“Of course not! Why do you ask me this?” asked Tong Wei curiously.

“Nothing, just curious,” said Wang Yao. He hung up the phone after talking to Tong Wei for a short while.

“So weird!” murmured Tong Wei after hanging up the phone.

“What? Your boyfriend called you?” asked Tong Wei’s colleague.

“Yes, he’s here already,” said Tong Wei with a smile. She seemed to really be in love.

“Look at you! You are really into him! Are you going to have a very romantic night with him?” said Tong Wei’s colleague.

“Hey, you should probably find a lover yourself!” said Tong Wei.

Meanwhile, Wang Yao walked slowly towards the young man making a phone call in the Porsche sports car.

The young man was wearing a formal suit and looked well-educated. He should be from a wealthy family as he drove a Porsche.

Wang Yao was not in a good mood. So the young man would probably be in trouble soon.

Ouch!

The young man suddenly squatted on the floor, as if he were attacked by an electric shock.

“Are you okay?” asked Wang Yao with a smile.

He was about one meter away from the young man.

“I’m... I’m fine,” said the young man.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist just now, as if he were stabbed by a thick needle. It was so painful that he kept sweating and almost screamed out.

“You don’t look well. You should go to the hospital if you are sick,” said Wang Yao.

“I’m fine, thank you,” said the young man.

“You are welcome,” said Wang Yao with a smile. He looked absolutely innocent.
