Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.

Wang Xiaohua finished processing the documents, then hurried back to the dormitory.

He saw Zhang Ruoshui had opened her laptop and was staring at it intently, while a little orange cat lay on the floor beside her.

"I'm back. What are you doing?"

Wang Xiaohua asked casually.

Zhang Ruoshui hurriedly stood up to greet him:

"I'm learning how to use that Jianying."

"Jianying?" Wang Xiaohua asked, puzzled.

Zhang Ruoshui answered:

"It's a video editing software. There's a lot of information online recommending it for editing videos. Didn't you tell me to learn these things in advance?"

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help but freeze for a moment, feeling a trace of surprise.

He hadn't expected that he had only mentioned it in passing, yet Zhang Ruoshui actually took it seriously and went to do it.

Only now did he understand why his eldest sister-in-law Du Xiaojuan had said that Zhang Ruoshui was a bit stupid, but her attitude toward doing things was extremely serious.

With an attitude like hers, she truly wasn't someone ordinary people could compare to.

And with such a serious attitude, even if she did things a bit slower, a bit more clumsily, in the end there was a very high probability she would still achieve a certain degree of success.

"Let's go eat dinner first. After we eat and come back, you can study properly."

Zhang Ruoshui nodded:

"Okay!"

So the two of them went outside to eat together.

Wang Xiaohua didn't take Zhang Ruoshui to eat any big feast, just the wonton shop next to the town government.

He frequented this place often.

He still remembered that before, he had also brought Liu Yumeng here to eat.

Liu Yumeng didn't say it out loud, but in her heart she looked down on this shabby place to some extent.

Zhang Ruoshui was different. She ordered a large bowl of wontons and started wolfing them down.

It might also be that the day's travel fatigue had made her truly too hungry.

So in the end, after finishing, she even drank a few mouthfuls of the wonton soup.

"If you're not full, order another bowl."

Seeing her like this, Wang Xiaohua said just that.

Zhang Ruoshui's face was full of embarrassment:

"No need, no need. Half-full is fine. My mom said you shouldn't eat too full at dinner."

Wang Xiaohua had also finished the wontons in his bowl. He took a tissue and handed it to Zhang Ruoshui, and took one himself to wipe his mouth:

"You came to find me, yet I brought you to this shabby wonton shop to eat. Won't you be very disappointed?"

"Huh? Why would I be disappointed?" Zhang Ruoshui looked puzzled.

She really didn't know why she would be disappointed.

Because she felt that being able to come here and see Wang Xiaohua, she was already very happy and very satisfied.

Wang Xiaohua said:

"Don't you feel I don't value you enough?"

Zhang Ruoshui hurriedly said:

"How could that be? You had to work today, and as soon as you got off work you came to accompany me to eat. That's already great. I'm not picky about food! By the way, where am I staying tonight?"

Wang Xiaohua said:

"On the way back later, I'll help you find a hotel."

"Oh!" Zhang Ruoshui was obviously a bit disappointed.

She couldn't hide the emotion on her face.

Wang Xiaohua could only pretend not to see her emotion.

The two came out of the wonton shop and went to a nearby hotel.

This town only had two hotels, one at the street entrance and one near the town government.

The one near the town government — as soon as the front desk heard that Zhang Ruoshui was bringing a little cat, they immediately refused to let her stay, afraid the cat would randomly shit and piss on the bed, and additionally if the cat had fleas, they'd bring fleas into the room, which would be very troublesome to deal with.

Wang Xiaohua brought Zhang Ruoshui out of the hotel, feeling quite depressed:

"Why were you so honest and told them you brought a cat?"

Zhang Ruoshui felt a bit wronged:

"But lying is wrong."

Wang Xiaohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry:

"I didn't tell you to lie. That little cat could just be kept in my dormitory. You go stay at the hotel by yourself — there's no need to bring the cat along at all, right?"

Zhang Ruoshui only then suddenly realized:

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

Wang Xiaohua looked at her, muttering in his heart, this girl, could it be she did it on purpose?

But then he thought again, probably not.

"Then what do we do now?"

Zhang Ruoshui asked at this time.

Wang Xiaohua looked at her aggrieved and self-blaming little expression, his lips moved, wanting to say there was still an inn at the street entrance, but for some reason, he just couldn't bring himself to say it.

At this time Zhang Ruoshui said weakly:

"How about I just sleep on the floor in your dormitory for the night?"

Wang Xiaohua was even more at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

"What are you thinking! Tonight stay at my home for a night!"

He didn't let Zhang Ruoshui go stay at the inn at the street entrance, but decided to bring Zhang Ruoshui back to his hometown to stay for a night.

Because in this small town, letting Zhang Ruoshui, a young girl, stay at an inn, and moreover at the street entrance, a place quite far from his dormitory, he still felt a bit uneasy.

"Your home?" Zhang Ruoshui was stunned.

"Just the hometown in Shanggou Village, you've already been there before, haven't you?"

So Wang Xiaohua rode a motorcycle, bringing Zhang Ruoshui toward Shanggou Village.

The sun set in the west, red clouds like fire.

On the winding mountain road, a motorcycle slowly drove along.

Zhang Ruoshui sat in the back seat, looking at the evening glow on the horizon, her mood very pleasant.

The road ahead suddenly became bumpy, she subconsciously hurriedly held onto Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua froze for a moment.

But didn't say anything.

Zhang Ruoshui went from holding on, it should be hugging.

Just like that hugging Wang Xiaohua from behind, pressing her face against his back.

She couldn't help but smile on her face.

Foolishly smiling.

"This sunset, truly beautiful."

There was a moment, she was very certain, this scene at this moment, this happiness at this moment, she would remember for a lifetime.

Wang Xiaohua carried Zhang Ruoshui to Shanggou Village.

Night had already fallen.

Fortunately the old home's house, Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law and them had just lived there not long ago, it was all already cleaned spotlessly, no need to tidy up much to move in.

Wang Xiaohua arranged a second floor room for Zhang Ruoshui, and told her where the second floor toilet and bathroom were, then he himself went down to the first floor to stay.

Tomorrow still had to get up early for work, so he went down to the first floor, then hurriedly went to shower, after showering read some political news, brushed some Study Strong Country, then looked at Toutiao to relax a bit, then it was time to sleep.

However, what he didn't expect was, showering halfway, the water actually stopped.

Also speechless.

But this is also normal, Shanggou Village's tap water is drawn down from the mountain.

In recent years, because the surrounding mountains planted quite a lot of fast-growing eucalyptus trees, and eucalyptus trees absorb water extremely powerfully, so the tap water drawn down from the mountain has become less and less.

By evening peak hours, some places with relatively higher terrain tend to have water outages.

Fortunately Wang Xiaohua had already washed his hair, so no water didn't matter, wiped dry his hair and body, put on clothes, making do for one night was fine.

At this time Wang Xiaohua suddenly froze, thinking to himself:

Zhang Ruoshui is on the second floor, could it be she also showered halfway and lost water?

Thinking this, he hurriedly went up to the second floor to check the situation.

Sure enough, arriving at the second floor side, Wang Xiaohua called out:

"Zhang Ruoshui!"

From the bathroom side, came Zhang Ruoshui's voice:

"Brother Xiaohua, I showered halfway and lost water, what do I do?"

Wang Xiaohua chuckled:

"What else can we do, can only be like this, you wipe your body and put on clothes and come out."

Zhang Ruoshui however said aggrievedly:

"But, my whole body is covered in baby body wash, I still need to get some water to rinse off..."
