After cooking the rabbit meat and preparing the rice, Fang Yuan stretched his hand out and picked some fruits from the steel ball world. After washing them, he arranged them nicely on a plate and walked out of the kitchen.
Wang Yuanyuan, noticing Fang Yuan coming out, quickly turned her head to pretend she was seriously watching TV, her face slightly flushed.
Fang Yuan smiled and placed the plate of fruit on the coffee table. "Yuanyuan, eat some fruit. I just picked it."
"Huh, is there lychee too?" Wang Yuanyuan suddenly looked at the lychees in the fruit bowl, surprised. "Isn't it past the season for lychees? By the way, when did you pick them? Didn't you just stay in the kitchen?"
As she spoke, Wang Yuanyuan casually picked one lychee and happily started eating, clearly fond of lychees.
"I picked them yesterday and left them in the kitchen without washing them. These lychees are off-season," Fang Yuan explained.
"Oh," Wang Yuanyuan nodded.
"You really like lychees? Then eat more, there's plenty," Fang Yuan said.
"Alright, I won't be polite then." Wang Yuanyuan smiled happily, but then fell silent again.
Fang Yuan didn't know how to start a conversation, so they both quietly watched TV, and the atmosphere felt a bit awkward.
Only when Fang Yuan went back into the kitchen to bring out the rabbit meat did Wang Yuanyuan get up. "Fang Yuan, I'm leaving now, goodbye."
"Don't rush, have some food before you go. The meal is ready…"
"No need, I had breakfast already, I'm not hungry," Wang Yuanyuan said, then quickly ran out. Her electric scooter was outside.
Fang Yuan watched Wang Yuanyuan ride away and shook his head with a bitter smile, unsure of what was going on with her.
However, after Wang Yuanyuan's visit, Fang Yuan felt much more relaxed. She was a young and beautiful girl, and having some scenery around the house wasn't a bad thing.
After eating, Fang Yuan checked the steel ball world and discovered that the two veterans had gotten into a fight with the inhabitants of the steel ball world.
By reversing time, Fang Yuan saw that the two veterans had mistaken the people from the steel ball world for his 'subordinates' and thought they were there to torture them.
In addition, Tan Wei had been causing trouble. He realized the two veterans were also 'transmigrators' and worried they might expose him or even take his position. So, he incited the people of the steel ball world to capture them, claiming that the 'Gods' had factions, and those dressed in certain clothes were from the evil faction.
The people in the primitive society were simple and easily manipulated, so the two veterans were often hunted down.
Fang Yuan was speechless. "Are the people in the primitive society idiots? If they really are Gods, is it that easy to kill them?"
Of course, it's also possible that the people thought the Gods had no abilities other than knowing more than them.
"I hope Tan Wei doesn't cause any trouble, or else I'll have to find another transmigrator," Fang Yuan murmured.
In the afternoon, Wang Lili called and asked Fang Yuan to go to Qingcha Mountain, where her good friend Chen Xiyun was waiting.
"She's wearing white clothes. I'll send you a photo so you won't get it wrong. Remember to at least bring a flower," Wang Lili said before hanging up.
Fang Yuan smiled bitterly. "Is this a blind date?"
Soon after, Wang Lili sent a photo. It was a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, who looked quite pretty, on par with Wang Lili, with a good figure. She had long hair flowing behind her and a gentle smile, giving off a very soft and graceful aura.
"She's Chen Xiyun. Good luck! Take her away!" Wang Lili added a message.
Fang Yuan smiled and thought that since Wang Lili had gone to such lengths to arrange this, he couldn't let her down. So, he drove out towards Qingcha Mountain.
Qingcha Mountain was on the outskirts of Dan County, not far from the county town. Due to its beautiful scenery and high elevation, many people liked to visit there, especially in the evenings when various green lights illuminated the tea forests, giving off a dreamlike glow. Often, couples would sneak into the tea forests to do some exercises.
Fang Yuan parked his car at the entrance of Qingcha Mountain and, after thinking for a moment, picked a beautiful wild flower from the steel ball world, then got out of the car and headed up the steps to the mountain.
Entering Qingcha Mountain, Fang Yuan suddenly remembered that Wang Lili hadn't mentioned where exactly Chen Xiyun would be. Qingcha Mountain wasn't small, so how long would it take to find her if he just searched around?
But just then, a girl who was playing on her phone raised her head and, upon seeing Fang Yuan, froze for a moment.
Fang Yuan also looked at the girl, and the gentle breeze lifted her hair, making her look incredibly beautiful under the afternoon sun.
Without thinking, Fang Yuan instinctively took out his phone and snapped a picture, capturing this beautiful moment.
"Hey, why are you randomly taking pictures? Don't you know how to respect others?" The girl, slightly displeased, walked over. "Are you the Fang Yuan that Lili mentioned?"
Indeed, this girl was Chen Xiyun, dressed in white clothes, looking fresh and clean.
Fang Yuan smiled. "Chen Xiyun, hello. My name is Fang Yuan. You're really beautiful, even more so than I imagined."
"Come on, Lili must have taught you to say that, right?" Chen Xiyun rolled her eyes.
"Look." Fang Yuan didn't answer. Instead, he showed her the photo on his phone. "You really are beautiful."
Chen Xiyun lowered her head to look, and her eyes brightened. "Huh, you were so quick with the timing. I didn't realize your photography skills were this good."
Chen Xiyun seemed to like it more and more, clearly not expecting herself to look so beautiful in the photo. The breeze lifting her hair, and the sunlight enveloping her, gave off a dreamlike beauty.
"Quick, send me that photo. Hmm, add me on WeChat too," she said.
"That's why I said you're really beautiful. My eyes are top-notch," Fang Yuan laughed, adding Chen Xiyun on WeChat and sending her the photo.
Chen Xiyun was overjoyed and kept looking at the photo, then set it as her phone wallpaper. "Alright, let's get to the main topic. I won't beat around the bush. Although I trust Lili, I still want to hear it from you."
"Uh? Me? What do you want me to say?" Fang Yuan was a little confused.
"Of course, tell me your strengths. For example, if we end up together, how would you support me?" Chen Xiyun asked.
"Well, to be honest, I'm currently unemployed. I was planning to build a plane and become an internet celebrity, but that didn't work out," Fang Yuan said awkwardly.
"Then? How much wealth do you have? Do you have connections?" Chen Xiyun continued asking without changing her expression. "Of course, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say."
"Is this how blind dates are nowadays? I've seen online blind dates where people first check if they're compatible, and then…" Fang Yuan scratched his nose.
"I'm in a hurry. Lili is already married, and I'm being left behind. I can't let that happen," Chen Xiyun said frankly.
Fang Yuan was surprised. "Just to keep up with the competition?"
"You can understand it that way," Chen Xiyun thought for a moment, then continued, "Let me tell you my situation too. If it's not suitable, we can part ways amicably. I had a boyfriend in high school, my first love, so I'm not…"
Chen Xiyun gazed at the distant white clouds and said in a calm tone, "I broke up with him after high school. I haven't been in a relationship since then."
"My family owns a pet shop, with an asset of around eight million, but that's my parents' wealth, not mine. I won't ask for it. My family isn't as wealthy as Lili's, so if you're looking for someone who can give you a luxurious life, you can forget it."
Fang Yuan scratched his nose. He didn't have a superiority complex, but still felt a little regretful. Chen Xiyun was pretty much in line with his aesthetic standards.
"Actually, it's not really about competing with Lili. She's married now, and her husband has assets worth over a hundred million," Chen Xiyun smiled, then continued, "I'm already fourteen, and my parents are urging me to get married. I want to have my own family. As long as I have a man who treats me well, we can live a simple life together. That's all I want. Well, that's all from me."
The two of them stood quietly at the top of Qingcha Mountain, watching the sun slowly set in the distance. The sunset bathed their shadows, stretching them long.
After a long silence, Chen Xiyun thought Fang Yuan wasn't going to speak, so she said, "Well, that's it…"
"Wait, I'm checking something…" Fang Yuan hurriedly said.
