“Okay.” Ni Yang nodded.
Shortly after, Mo Qishen pushed over a Phoenix branded bicycle.
“Yangyang, don’t look at me as Mo Baichuan’s uncle. Actually, in everyone’s eyes, I’m nothing but a wastrel who only knows indulgences, resented by all for being mediocre; every person in my family is more accomplished than me. Even my fiancee has broken off our engagement because of this. I don’t even have my own car at home. If you mind, I can drive one of the family’s cars.”
Ni Yang leaned to sit on the bike’s back seat, smiling, “It’s alright, a bicycle is pretty good.”
After her rebirth, she had cycled almost daily, yet had never tried the back seat.
“Yangyang,” Mo Qishen continued, “knowing that I’m a wastrel despised by everyone, would you still be willing to be friends with me?”
Ni Yang slightly smiled, responding, “Why wouldn’t I? I’m friends with you because of who you are, not your status.”
When she first met Mo Qishen, Ni Yang didn’t know about his status.
Status is not important.
All she needed to know was that Mo Qishen was a person worth trusting.
Hearing this, Mo Qishen’s mouth traced into a smile, “Then, let’s get going! Hold on tight, Yangyang.”
The moment he finished speaking, Mo Qishen pedaled forward, and the bicycle shot off like an arrow that left the bowstring.
Ni Yang never knew that a bicycle could be ridden so fast, and she was so frightened that she tightly clutched the corner of Mo Qishen’s clothes.
There was a gust of fresh wind carrying a mild scent of tobacco.
In a short while, they reached Jinghua Village.
The bike was going too fast; before the villagers could make out who was on the back seat, the bike had already disappeared from their sight.
“Wasn’t that Yangyang just now?”
“It looked a bit like her.”
“Could the guy pedaling the bike be Yangyang’s boyfriend? He looks rather handsome.”
“That lad does indeed seem spirited, but he was riding so fast, I didn’t get a good look.”
“I was thinking of introducing Yangyang to my nephew last time, but it looks like I won’t get the chance now.”
“I was planning to introduce Yangyang to my baby brother! Such a pity!”
Although the relationships between men and women at that time were not completely liberal, it was still acceptable for boyfriends and girlfriends to date normally, as long as they weren’t behaving indecently and kissing or cuddling in public places.
As they approached the Ni Family’s house, Mo Qishen stopped the bike, “Yangyang, you should hurry home.”
In response Ni Yang said, “Let’s ride over, and you can have a cup of tea before leaving.”
“Aren’t you scared your mom will misunderstand?” Mo Qishen looked at her surprisingly.
Happiness came so fast that he was a bit overwhelmed.
Ni Yang laughed, “If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. What’s so frightening about this?”
So Mo Qishen didn’t refuse any further and rode the bike in.
Ni Cuihua and Ni Chenggui were having a conversation in the courtyard. Seeing someone coming, they both looked in that direction.
Ni Chenggui’s first reaction was, my goodness, this lad is handsome!
He looked like an attractive actor fresh off the TV screens.
“Xiaomo.” Ni Cuihua looked surprised at Mo Qishen.
Although she had only met Mo Qishen once, she deeply remembered his face, because at that time, she had thought of taking Mo Qishen as her son-in-law.
“Hello, auntie.” Mo Qishen greeted politely.
Ni Yang hopped off the back seat of the bike, “Brother Mo, this is Auntie Ni.”
“Hello, Auntie Ni.”
Ni Chenggui smiled, “Hello.”
“Xiaomo, come on in and sit.” Ni Cuihua enthusiastically ushered Mo Qishen into the living room.
Ni Yang took out some snacks from her house to entertain Mo Qishen, “Brother Mo, don’t be shy; eat whatever you want.”
Looking at the table full of snacks, Mo Qishen was indeed not shy and immediately peeled a piece of candy.
Hmm.
It was quite sweet.
“Brother Mo, have some tea.” Ni Yang then handed over a hot cup of tea.
Mo Qishen stood up immediately, accepting the cup with both hands, “Yangyang, you don’t need to go through all the trouble, I’ll be leaving shortly.”
Ni Yang smiled, “It’s okay, it’s just a cup of tea.”
Mo Qishen took a cautious sip of the green tea.
The tea had a strong aroma, yet it was sweet; the taste was excellent.
Awhile later.
A “bang bang” sound came through the air.
Mo Qishen looked up in confusion, “What’s that noise?”
Ni Yang explained, “That’s my mom pounding aloe vera.”
“Pounding aloe vera?”
Ni Yang laughed, “Come on, Brother Mo, let me show you.”
Mo Qishen followed Ni Yang’s steps into the courtyard.
There, they saw Ni Cuihua holding a large mallet, pounding something in a stone mortar. Inside the mortar was a pale green transparent liquid, emitting a faint fragrance.
