After dinner, Min Nan took the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Ye Ling was about to go back to her room to rest when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Ye Ling was about to open the door when Wan Hai, who was about to leave, opened the door.
Wan Hai looked at the petite girl with delicate features standing outside the door and was momentarily surprised. “Who are you looking for?”
Yu Huan didn’t look at Wan Hai. She tilted her head and looked into the courtyard. “I’m looking for Ye Ling.”
“Big Brother, this is Yu Huan, my friend,” Ye Ling walked over and introduced them.
Wan Hai smiled warmly and was about to extend his hand to greet Ye Ling’s friend when Yu Huan walked past him without even acknowledging him.
Wan Hai’s outstretched hand hung in the air. Ye Ling felt a bit awkward and quickly came up with an excuse for Yu Huan. “My friend is a bit reserved.”
“It’s fine. You guys chat, I need to head to work.” Wan Hai retracted his hand and smiled graciously.
After Wan Hai left, Ye Ling returned to the living room and poured a glass of water for Yu Huan. She asked, “What brought you here all of a sudden?”
Yu Huan grinned, revealing her neat, white teeth. “I found your health exercises effective! I used to have trouble sleeping at night, sometimes not falling asleep until the middle of the night. But after doing your health exercises, I’d fall asleep within minutes. It’s amazing!”
Ye Ling also took a seat and replied happily, “I’m glad they’re working. With the exercises and medication, your health should improve within a year.”
Yu Huan leaned closer, her hand grabbing Ye Ling’s arm. “You’re a lifesaver. Thank you so much!”
“It’s not that dramatic.” Ye Ling smiled. “You were just a bit physically weak before, not in any life-threatening danger.”
“I had such a weak constitution. If I hadn’t met you, I might have died in my thirties. Now that you’ve helped me improve my health, I can live many more years.” Yu Huan mischievously blinked her eyes.
After a moment, she shifted to the reason she came to see Ye Ling today. “By the way, I came to invite you for a meal. Do you have time?”
Treating someone to a meal was a common way of expressing gratitude in this era. Ye Ling understood that Yu Huan genuinely wanted to show her appreciation, so she didn’t intend to decline. She nodded and agreed, “Sure.”
“Great, let’s do it tomorrow. We’ll head to the nearby Chen County. I’ll cover the transportation costs, we’ll go in the morning and be back by night.”
Ye Ling hesitated for a moment upon hearing the destination. “Do we need to go so far?”
“The salted chicken in Chen County is delicious. Since I’m treating my benefactor, I can’t be stingy. Plus, Chen County has a famous fabric market. I can also get you a few clothes…” Yu Huan’s voice was cheerful.
Ye Ling quickly interrupted her, “Hold on, do you need to buy me clothes? I understand your gratitude, so clothes aren’t necessary. I agree to join you for a meal in Chen County. Let’s meet by the bridge tomorrow.”
After finalizing the plan, Yu Huan prepared to leave. Ye Ling walked her to the door. Yu Huan’s gaze fell upon Min Nan, who was organizing the kitchen cabinets, and she whispered to Ye Ling, “Be cautious around that guy. He was glancing at you several times, acting suspicious. He’s up to no good.”
Ye Ling was taken aback. Had Min Nan been looking at her? Why didn’t she notice it?
Even if Min Nan had been looking at her, was there anything wrong? After all, this was the first time Min Nan had seen her friend, so being surprised and curious was quite natural.
“You’re overthinking it. Big Brother Min Nan treats me very well.” Ye Ling
smiled, trying to reassure Yu Huan.
Yu Huan rolled her eyes. “You’re so attractive. Of course, guys would treat you well. But they usually have ulterior motives. Don’t let them deceive you!”
Ye Ling felt that Yu Huan had a negative view of all men, but she understood that Yu Huan was looking out for her. So, Ye Ling responded, “Alright, I understand. I’ll be careful. Thank you for the warning.”
Yu Huan nodded in satisfaction and said, “Okay, see you tomorrow. I’m heading out now.”
After Yu Huan left, Min Nan emerged from the kitchen. He looked at Ye Ling and asked, “Are you going out with your friend tomorrow?”
Min Nan didn’t hide the fact that he had overheard their conversation. The house wasn’t that big, so it was natural to overhear things..
