【149】Morning Romance (Part Two)

"Qin Yun, where have you been these past few days? I've been calling you non-stop and you haven't answered. Do you know how worried your family is?" Qin Cai shouted into the phone, clearly very anxious.

"Oh, sister, I'm a grown woman, what's there to worry about? I just went out with friends for two days," Qin Yun said impatiently.

"Going out? With whom? A boy or a girl?" Qin Cai had always cared deeply for her younger sister, even though they were half-sisters, their relationship was almost as close as, if not deeper than, that of biological sisters. So, upon hearing that Qin Yun had gone out with a boy, Qin Cai immediately became suspicious.

"Of course it was a boy! Who would have fun with a guy these days?" Since Zhang Zilong had agreed to be her girlfriend, Qin Yun was in a very good mood today. Plus, she was naturally outspoken, and being her older sister, she spoke even more carefree. "A guy? What's your relationship with him? Did you two do anything?" Qin Cai didn't notice Qin Yun's tone. She was extremely nervous, afraid that this naive girl would get hurt by some guy, and asked anxiously.

"Oh, sis, don't be so old-fashioned, okay? You're so out of touch. A male friend is definitely a boyfriend. Even if you do something, it's something that should be done in a relationship. Is it necessary to be so nervous?" Qin Yun said discontentedly.

"What? Boyfriend? When did you get a boyfriend? Did you two do anything? Where is he from? Does he work? What's his character like? No, bring him here so I can meet him. I'm really worried that you'll get hurt. Men these days are all so bad." Qin Cai became more and more anxious.

"Oh, sis, I just have a boyfriend. Why are you so nervous? Let me tell you, my boyfriend is a very good person, and he's super handsome. You even know him." Qin Yun said with a laugh.

"I know him? Who is he?" Qin Cai asked suspiciously.

"Haha, you'll never guess, this is my secret. I'll tell you when the time comes. Okay, that's all for now, I have to go to class, sis, bye-bye!" Qin Yun hung up the phone after saying that.

Thinking about how surprised Qin Cai must be on the other end, Qin Yun felt very happy. Not for any particular reason, but because she could announce to her family that she had grown up, was in love, and was no longer the little girl they saw her as. She believed that every teenager had this thought. Qin Yun couldn't calm her excitement, happily touching her phone. Finally, after thinking for a moment, she picked up the phone again and dialed: "Hello, Mom, this is Yun'er."

"You brat, where have you been these past two days? I can't find you anywhere, and you're not answering your phone. What are you up to?" Like Qin Cai, Qin Yun's mother was also very anxious. It turned out that Qin Yun knew her family would call to check on her if she disappeared, so she cleverly kept her phone off the whole time. She thought that this wouldn't affect her mood with Zhang Zilong.

"Oh, Mom, why do you sound just like my sister? I only went out for two days!" Qin Yun pouted, dissatisfied.

"Really? That bastard asked you the same question. Didn't I tell you to stay away from that bastard? Look at the state you've become! You're acting crazy all the time, you've lost all the demeanor of a proper young lady. You learned all this from being with that bastard. You're not allowed to be with that bastard anymore!" The woman opposite her spoke in a very harsh tone.

"Mom, how can you say that about my sister? My sister has always been very good to me since we were little, and in my heart, she's perfect. If you say that about my sister again, don't blame me for turning against you!" Qin Yun knew that her mother would react this way whenever Qin Cai was mentioned. It had been like this for so many years. Qin Yun didn't know what the conflict was between her mother and Qin Cai, but she didn't care. She just needed to remember that Qin Cai was good to her.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about that bastard anymore. Just tell me honestly what you've been doing these past two days."

"Nothing much, just went out with a friend. I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'll tell you something, Mom, I have a boyfriend!" Qin Yun said happily.

"What? A boyfriend? Who gave you permission to have a boyfriend? Didn't I tell you? Mom has already found you a boy, the vice mayor's son. How could you just find a boyfriend like that? Tell me honestly, have you been with that so-called boy these past two days?" The voice on the other end suddenly became sharp, exuding an unyielding pressure.

"What? You found me a boyfriend? How come I didn't know?" Qin Yun originally wanted to share her joy with her mother, but she didn't expect this outcome.

"You don't need to know. Your father and I chose him for you. It happened a few days ago. You're not allowed to contact that guy anymore. The boy Mom found for you is very good. He's Vice Mayor Zhang's son. You two are a good match. You'll be very happy together." Her mother's tone suddenly rose when she mentioned Vice Mayor Zhang's son.

"What does Vice Mayor Zhang's son have to do with me? What gives you the right to make decisions for me? I've never even met him, so what makes you think I'll be happy with him?" Qin Yun's voice suddenly turned sharp, a defiant outburst of anger.

"Shut up! I am the one who should decide your marriage. I've seen more of life than you have. I know better than you what kind of man a woman should marry to be happy. What does it matter if I haven't met him? I haven't met that man either, but as long as he's Vice Mayor Zhang's son, that's enough. Think about it, his father is the vice mayor. No matter what he does, he'll definitely be a high achiever in the future, and he'll rise through the ranks. There's no reason you won't be happy with him," the woman opposite her said with great satisfaction.

"Stop talking, Mom. I never thought you were this kind of person. Just because he's the son of Vice Mayor Zhang, you're planning to marry me off to him without even meeting him. Happiness? What if he's missing an arm or a leg? Would I be happy then? I think what you value isn't his worthless son, but his father and the power he holds, right? I've never seen a mother like you, trading your daughter's lifelong happiness for your own political capital. Are you even a mother?" Qin Yun's tears fell as she spoke. She was beginning to completely lose faith in her mother.

"Shut up! Look at how you're talking to that bastard, you're starting to sound more and more like him. You have no manners at all. What do you mean by 'missing an arm or a leg'? The Deputy Mayor Zhang's son is in the army, he's an officer, how could he be missing an arm or a leg? Listen to your mother, I'm doing this for your own good, you'll definitely be happy. Come home this weekend, Deputy Mayor Zhang will be coming to our house. Dress up nicely, and especially don't speak without any manners or respect, understand?"

"No way! What do you take me for? What do you think I am? Are you trying to use me for money or power? Let me tell you, I have a boyfriend, he's very good to me, I love him very much, I won't marry anyone but him!" After saying that, she slammed down the phone, squatted down and cried bitterly. She had only known since childhood that her mother was a bit mean, always cold and harsh to the servants and Qin Cai, but she always thought it was just a personality issue. But she never expected that her mother was this kind of person, using her daughter's happiness as capital to exchange for profit. She was heartbroken and cried alone on the seat.

On the other end of the phone, Qin Yun's mother, Wang Qianlian, was also furious, almost slamming the phone down. She cursed, "This girl is really too outrageous now, daring to talk back to me! She must have learned it from that bastard!"

"How can you talk like that? After all these years, you're still the same! Qin Cai hasn't done anything to you! Why are you so petty? Tell me, what's wrong? Did Yun'er make you angry again?" Qin Wanghua, sitting to the side reading the newspaper, frowned slightly at his wife's insults, asking what had happened.

"Fine, fine, I won't say. You two are the father and daughter; we're all outsiders. Have you ever cared about Yun'er? You don't even know your own daughter has a boyfriend? Are you even a father? All you care about is that bastard daughter!" Wang Qianlian was a shrew, and when she got angry, she truly became unreasonable.

"She has a boyfriend? Whose son is he?" Wang Qianlian's words caught Qin Wanghua's attention, and he put down his newspaper to ask her.

"How would I know whose son he is? It won't do no matter whose son he is. Didn't we just go through so much trouble to get engaged to Vice Mayor Zhang? If she really finds a boyfriend on her own and the two of them are having an affair, how are we going to explain this to Vice Mayor Zhang? If we offend Vice Mayor Zhang, who is about to become mayor and has real power, our Qin family will really have a hard time maintaining its position in T City," Wang Qianlian said anxiously.

"You didn't tell Yun'er about the engagement beforehand?" Qin Wanghua looked at Wang Qianlian and asked.

“What’s the point of talking to her? This is a decision we adults made. Does a little kid like her need to know? This brat actually went out and found a man without consulting us. When she comes back, I’m going to teach her a lesson. She even dared to talk back to me, saying what kind of mother I am, treating her like an outsider. Tell me, is that something a human being would say? I did all this for her own good, didn’t I? The Deputy Mayor Zhang’s son has power and influence; he’s better than us in every way.” Wang Qianlian felt incredibly wronged and kept pouring out her grievances to Qin Wanghua.

“How could you do this? You should have told Yun’er beforehand. If you had, this wouldn’t have happened.” For so many years, Qin Wanghua had always been a man who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He appeared decisive and efficient on the outside, but at home, he was truly henpecked. Just like now, even though he was dissatisfied, he didn’t dare to express his dissatisfaction.

"What are you doing, telling me all this? What's the point? Let's think about how to solve this problem. If this girl really gets together with that guy and they end up sleeping together, how are we going to explain this to Deputy Mayor Zhang? Wouldn't that be like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead? Yes, we must break them up. I'll get Ah Feng to find someone to kill that guy for me. Let's see how they can get back together then," Wang Qianlian said viciously.

"What? You should figure out the situation first. Once this is done, there's no going back. Yun'er will definitely know it was you who did it, and she'll hate us to death," Qin Wanghua was startled by Wang Qianlian's decision.

"Then what do you suggest?" Wang Qianlian looked at Qin Wanghua.

"You can talk to that guy first. At most, you'll have to give him some money and make a little threat. I guess our Qin family's reputation can still scare some people," Qin Wanghua was an old hand at this, and his words and actions were much more mature than those of the woman Wang Qianlian.

[150] Morning Affair (Part 3)

Early the next morning, Zhang Zilong took Liu Fang in his Audi and embarked on the journey back to Liu Fang's hometown. Liu Fang's hometown is Hengyang City in H Province. Zhang Zilong looked at the map and saw that it would take about five or six hours to drive there. Zhang Zilong bought a lot of things at the supermarket to give to Liu Fang's parents. This time, Zhang Zilong went as a standard son-in-law, so it was impossible for him to go empty-handed.

Zhang Zilong knew a little about Hengyang. Legend has it that the wild geese in the north, fearing the fierce cold winds of the border region, migrate south in flocks. They fly over thousands of mountains and rivers to this place with a mild climate and beautiful scenery, where they set up camp and rest. This place is the historical and cultural city of Hengyang.

The two were affectionate and chatty all the way, and time passed quickly. They arrived in Hengyang city in the afternoon. Although Hengyang couldn't compare to an international metropolis like T city, it was still considered above average in China. Aside from the streets not being as clean as expected, it had everything one would expect, just without the towering buildings. Since it was already close to evening, and Liu Fang mentioned that it was quite a distance from the city center to her home, Zhang Zilong didn't linger in the city and headed straight for Liu Fang's hometown.

"Zilong, why don't you find a hotel in the city and I'll take a bus home myself? I'll pick up my parents tomorrow morning, and then we'll go back to T city together," Liu Fang said hesitantly to Zhang Zilong.

"What's wrong? Fang'er, why won't you let me go? Uncle is injured and it's inconvenient for him to come by himself," Zhang Zilong asked疑惑地问道.

“Zilong, my hometown is so poor. We don't even have a decent bed, let alone a washing machine. I'm afraid you won't be used to it,” Liu Fang said hesitantly, revealing her true feelings. Her biggest fear was that Zhang Zilong would feel disgusted with her when he saw her hometown, treating her like a country bumpkin. Although she knew deep down that Zhang Zilong wasn't like that, subconsciously, no one wants to expose their most private secrets to others.

“You're silly. What’s there to be uncomfortable about? What? You really think you’re a country bumpkin and I’m a city person? Actually, I’d rather be a country person. There’s no ugliness or treachery in the city. Breathing fresh air every day, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, carefree—how charming that would be! Liu Fang, you really shouldn’t be ashamed. You should be proud. Your experience of poverty has tempered you. At least you don’t have the spoiled and unruly air of those rich girls. That’s your most valuable quality.” "I'm not rich either. I've endured all kinds of hardship in my life. I've eaten wild grass and slept in cowsheds. You haven't experienced any of that, have you? So, strictly speaking, I should be the one feeling inferior next to you, silly girl." Zhang Zilong gently stroked Liu Fang's head. How could Zhang Zilong not see what Liu Fang was thinking? Actually, these hardships were nothing to Zhang Zilong. He had spent half a year on the Loess Plateau, where there hadn't been a drop of rain for five consecutive years, and the land was so dry that not even a single blade of grass could be eaten. He knew that even if this place was poor, it couldn't be poorer than that place.

Zhang Zilong's gentle words completely dispelled Liu Fang's unease. She curled up in the passenger seat like a docile kitten, looking at Zhang Zilong with tender affection, tears of emotion welling in her eyes. She said to Zhang Zilong, "Zilong, you're so good to me."

"Silly girl, what's this talk of being good or bad? We're husband and wife. It's only right that we're good to each other, you know?" Zhang Zilong was deeply moved by Liu Fang's expression. This girl was truly easily satisfied.

"Mmm," Liu Fang nodded in satisfaction.

The car continued driving in the direction Liu Fang pointed out. Gradually, it got dark outside, and Zhang Zilong turned on the headlights. The wide, flat road turned into a bumpy, muddy road. Fortunately, Zhang Zilong was a skilled driver and could drive this Audi like a Hummer.

The houses outside the window gradually became fewer and fewer, until there were no lights in sight for several minutes at a time. The bumpy mud road gradually turned into a mountain road. Even with Zhang Zilong's driving skills, he was sweating profusely. He was joking; one wrong move and he could fall off the mountain. He didn't want to imagine the consequences.

After bumping and jolting for more than three hours, around eight o'clock in the evening, the car finally arrived at a small village. As Liu Fang had said, this was her hometown.

"Zilong, we're here! We're finally here!" Liu Fang shouted excitedly upon seeing her hometown. Zhang Zilong looked around and was completely stunned. Apart from a few brick houses, the rest were all thatched huts. He had imagined what poverty would look like, but he never imagined it would be this poor. Looking at Liu Fang, Zhang Zilong was filled with emotion. He couldn't imagine the hardships this girl had endured in her life. However, Zhang Zilong never expected that a woman of Liu Fang's character could appear in a place like this.

Following Liu Fang's directions, Zhang Zilong carefully drove to the house Liu Fang had mentioned. Unsurprisingly, Liu Fang's house was also a thatched cottage, and it looked far more dilapidated than the others. The entire house appeared precarious, as if it might collapse at any moment. Zhang Zilong thought to himself, while the entire Chinese people had solved their basic needs and were on the road to a moderately prosperous society, such impoverished areas still existed in the south and central parts of China. No wonder newspapers reported on the vast wealth gap in China. Although Zhang Zilong had experienced this before, it wasn't profound; today, he truly understood it.

There were no lights in the room. Zhang Zilong guessed that Liu Fang's parents were already asleep. Unlike city dwellers, rural people didn't have such a vibrant nightlife, so decadent and varied. They didn't have the inclination or leisure for that. So, in the countryside, most people went to bed at sunset. Zhang Zilong thought that in the city, this would probably be the busiest and most lively time.

"Dad, Mom," Liu Fang called out in Hengyang dialect, knocking a few times on the simple wooden door. Zhang Zilong could clearly feel dust falling from the roof as she knocked.

"Who is it?" a deep, middle-aged man's voice came from inside. (To make it more relatable, all future entries in Hengyang dialect will be presented in the local dialect with explanations. Please take a look, as a dialect represents a culture. I'm a native of Hengyang, so I have a deep affection for the city and want to promote my hometown's culture. I should mention that Hengyang is actually a very nice city, not as poor as depicted in my writing. I only wrote it that way for the sake of the plot. If you don't like it, you can skip to the explanations below. If you do like it, you can try learning it. Recording dialect in writing is a new experience for me, so please forgive any shortcomings.)

"It's me, Fang'er!" Liu Fang was so excited upon hearing her father's voice that tears welled up in her eyes, and she responded loudly.

"It's Fang'er! Wait a moment, I'll call your mother to open the door." The voice inside was clearly very excited. Then Zhang Zilong heard a quiet conversation inside, "Shujin, get up quickly, Fang'er is back!"

"What? Fang'er is back? Are you asleep? I'll go open the door." A woman's voice came from inside. Zhang Zilong guessed it was Liu Fang's mother.

Then came the sound of footsteps, followed by a dim light, and then the sound of a door opening. A middle-aged woman's face appeared before Zhang Zilong. The woman didn't look like a typical rural woman; she was petite and delicate, with a frail appearance, much like Liu Fang. However, her skin was very dry and wrinkled, and many of her black hairs had turned gray. Zhang Zilong calculated that, based on Liu Fang's age, her mother could only be around forty at most. The woman's apparent age was significantly older than her actual age. Zhang Zilong couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it was all due to overwork. He thought to himself that if she hadn't been so overworked and prematurely exhausted, this woman would definitely be a beauty now.

"Mom, I'm back! You've aged so much!" Liu Fang threw herself into her mother's arms, and seeing her mother's aged appearance, tears streamed down her face.

“Fang’er, as long as I see you’re doing well, that’s enough for me. Are you doing well at school? Look at you, you’ve gotten so thin!” Liu Fang’s mother couldn’t hold back her tears, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Zhang Zilong thought to himself that Liu Fang probably didn’t tell her parents about dropping out of school, and she certainly wouldn’t tell them about selling herself to raise money for her father’s medical expenses, for fear of disappointing and blaming them. It seemed he had to cover up this lie for her.

After a long while, the woman looked up at Zhang Zilong and asked Liu Fang in confusion, “Who is this?”

“He’s my…” Liu Fang looked at Zhang Zilong and suddenly didn’t know how to introduce him, whether she should introduce him as her boyfriend.

Seeing Liu Fang’s hesitation, Zhang Zilong immediately took over and said, “Hello, Auntie, I’m Liu Fang’s boyfriend.”

"Boyfriend? Oh, hello, hello, you must be Mr. Zhang. Thank you so much for taking care of Fang'er, and thank you so much for your help, which enabled Fang'er's father to recover. You are truly a great benefactor to our family." When Liu Fang's mother heard the word "boyfriend," her expression froze for a moment, then she suddenly realized who it was, and then she looked at Zhang Zilong with utmost respect and gratitude. In Zhang Zilong's eyes, it was so sincere, without the slightest hint of pretense.

After hearing Liu Fang's mother's very standard Mandarin, Zhang Zilong was immediately stunned. He knew he couldn't speak such standard Mandarin. He hadn't expected that a village woman in this impoverished little mountain village could speak such fluent and standard Mandarin.

"Auntie, you're too kind. This is all I should do. You can just call me Zilong or A-Long, calling me Mr. Zhang makes me feel uncomfortable," Zhang Zilong said modestly, suppressing his doubts.

"Alright, alright, Auntie is just a country bumpkin, so I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll call you Zilong from now on. Look at me, I've been so busy nagging that I forgot to invite you in. Zilong, come in, my home is a bit simple, I hope you won't mind." Looking at Zhang Zilong's handsome, tall, and refined appearance, Liu Fang's mother was truly delighted and quickly invited him into the house.

"Auntie, what are you saying? Although it's a bit simple, it's warm everywhere," Zhang Zilong said softly.

[151] Morning Affair (Part 4) [

After hearing Zhang Zilong's words, Liu Fang felt warm inside. Ignoring her mother's presence, she intimately took Zhang Zilong's hand and walked into the house. There was no electric light in the house, only an old kerosene lamp, flickering and emitting a little bit of light.

"Mom, where's Dad?" Liu Fang asked her mother. "He's

in bed." When Liu Fang's father, Liu Zhenjun, was mentioned, Luo Shuzhen's eyes dimmed noticeably.

"Is Dad feeling any better?" Liu Fang asked with concern.

"Still the same. Although his leg has been set, hospital care is too expensive, far beyond our means. He can't get out of bed to walk yet. The doctor said that if we wait for the bone to heal slowly, it will get a little better, but he'll basically only be able to walk with crutches," Luo Shuzhen said, her eyes welling up with tears.

Zhang Zilong thought to himself that Liu Fang hadn't told the truth to avoid trouble. It wasn't that the care here was inadequate, but rather that her family simply couldn't afford it. After thinking for a moment, Zhang Zilong made up his mind and said, "Auntie, do you know roughly how much it will cost to completely heal Uncle's leg? I mean, the care fees."

"The doctor said it would probably cost between 80,000 and 100,000 yuan. Sigh, where would a family like ours find that kind of money? If it weren't for your help, we wouldn't have been able to afford to set that leg," Luo Shuzhen said helplessly.

“Auntie, I’ve come today as your son-in-law. If you approve of me as your son-in-law, please give me a chance to show my filial piety. Although I’m not rich, I can afford Uncle’s medical expenses. I want to bring you and Uncle to T City for treatment first, and then you can retire there. What do you think?” Zhang Zilong spoke his mind sincerely.

“No, no, Zilong, you’ve already helped our family so much. How can we trouble you again? We don’t even know when we can repay that debt from last time. We can’t trouble you again,” Luo Shuzhen refused immediately.

“So Auntie doesn’t approve of me as your son-in-law? What’s wrong with Zilong? Please point it out, and I will definitely change,” Zhang Zilong used his coercive tactics.

“Ah? I didn’t mean that. You’re a handsome young man, and you speak and act very properly. Moreover, I can tell you’re honest. Fang’er is lucky to be with you. How could Auntie not approve?” Luo Shuzhen quickly explained.

“Auntie, by saying that, you mean you agree to me being your son-in-law? Since you agree, then your son-in-law is also your son. It's only natural for a son to treat his parents' illnesses, so please don't refuse.” Zhang Zilong seized the opportunity.

“Shujinzhen, who's here?” Liu Zhenjun, inside the room, heard a man's voice outside and asked.

“It's Mr. Zhang,” Luo Shuzhen replied.

Zhang Zilong took Liu Fang's hand and said, “Let's go in and see Uncle.”

The two followed Luo Shuzhen into the room. There were no lights inside, and the muddy floor gave off a damp smell. Zhang Zilong thought to himself that living in such an environment, even if his legs recovered, he would likely get rheumatism again. This further strengthened Zhang Zilong's resolve to take the elderly couple away.

"Who is this?" Liu Zhenjun asked Luo Shuzhen in surprise, looking at Zhang Zilong.

"This is Mr. Zhang. He's the one who helped us with the money for our hospital visit last time," Luo Shuzhen introduced Zhang Zilong to Liu Zhenjun.

"Uncle, hello, my name is Zhang Zilong. You can call me Zilong or Xiao Zhang, it's fine. Please don't call what happened last time 'assistance.' I'm Fang'er's boyfriend, and this is what I should do," Zhang Zilong said modestly. As he spoke, Zhang Zilong carefully examined

the middle-aged man lying on the bed. The man was nearly 1.75 meters tall, of medium build. In Zhang Zilong's opinion, this was not a very tall man. If he stood up, Zhang Zilong was sure that he would be at least a head taller than him. But even with this height of about 1.75 meters, through his eyes, Zhang Zilong felt that he was as steady as a mountain. His eyes were not very sharp, but they were always full of a kind of righteousness. Unlike the depth of Zhang Zilong's eyes, Liu Zhenjun's eyes were clear. It was hard to imagine that this kind of eyes, which should only be seen in the eyes of a child, would appear in the eyes of this man who was nearly fifty years old.

"Boyfriend?" Liu Zhenjun spoke in Mandarin, and Zhang Zilong was initially shocked. However, after hearing Luo Shuzhen's Mandarin, Zhang Zilong wasn't too surprised, only thinking to himself that the two old people must have had a story when they were young.

When Liu Zhenjun heard Zhang Zilong say that he was Liu Fang's boyfriend, he was extremely surprised, staring blankly at Zhang Zilong. From shock to hatred, Zhang Zilong was surprised that Liu Zhenjun looked at him like that, but he also understood one thing: Liu Fang only told her mother, Luo Shuzhen, about her identity, and not Liu Zhenjun. Why didn't she tell him? Zhang Zilong must have his reasons.

After a long while, Liu Zhenjun suddenly looked at Zhang Zilong in a steady voice and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your help. We will do our best to repay your 200,000 yuan. We just hope that you can give us a little more time, considering my old man's physical disability. As for Fang'er, I don't think you two are suitable. We are just a poor country family, and we are not worthy of you."

Zhang Zilong never expected Liu Zhenjun to say such a thing. Even if he thought their families were too different and Liu Fang wouldn't be happy together, there was no need to look at him with hatred.

"Dad!" Liu Fang protested, also taken aback.

"Shut up! I'll talk to you later," Liu Zhenjun suddenly said angrily.

"Zhenjun, when will you ever calm down? I know what you're thinking, but let me tell you, Zilong isn't what you think. You're overthinking it," Luo Shuzhen also protested.

"Then what do you mean? Our Fang'er is just a poor college student, while he looks like a rich young man. How could he know her? I don't want to think about it. There's no Cinderella or Snow White in this world. I don't want to sell my daughter and ruin her life because of my legs. Mr. Zhang, we will repay your money no matter what," Liu Zhenjun said firmly.

"Dad, it's not what you think!" Liu Fang cried immediately, realizing her father had misunderstood.

“Uncle, to be honest, I admire you. Not for any particular reason, but just because of what you said. I admire you as a man. You have backbone and integrity. To put it bluntly, you are a bit old-fashioned. I am not the playboy you think I am. I am not rich now. Like Fang’er, I was born into poverty. I joined the army at the age of sixteen and served for eight years.” As he spoke, Zhang Zilong took off his suit jacket, revealing the scars that had surprised Liu Fang, Zhao Yazhi, Tang Feifei, and Qin Yun.

Zhang Zilong continued, “These are knife scars, bullet wounds, and every rib on my back is injured. I’m showing you this not to prove anything, but simply to tell you that everything I have is something I earned myself. I’ve faced life and death countless times, and it’s because of those experiences that I cherish everything I have now even more. Fang’er and I truly love each other. I’m not a prince charming, and she’s not Cinderella. In our hearts, the other is our happiness. I want you to know that I will treat Fang’er well, for all eternity.” Zhang Zilong’s voice was very calm, and his eyes were full of determination. Zhang Zilong was that kind of person; he didn’t make promises lightly, but once he did, he would fulfill them even at the cost of his life.

“Zilong!” Hearing Zhang Zilong’s words, Liu Fang was so moved that she ignored her parents standing beside her and threw herself into Zhang Zilong’s arms, bursting into tears.

“I can’t believe it, child, you must have suffered so much,” Luo Shuzhen said, looking at Zhang Zilong’s wounds, her heart aching.

“I’m not afraid of hardship, that’s all in the past. These are all scars from my time in the army. I have no regrets. On the contrary, I’m very grateful for these injuries. Don’t laugh at me, but if it weren’t for these injuries, I’d probably still be a street thug. These injuries have taught me many things, and they’ve given me the peaceful life I have today,” Zhang Zilong said with emotion.

“Child, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you,” Liu Zhenjun was also shocked by Zhang Zilong’s injuries. His eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He continued, “I’m just a country bumpkin, I don’t know how to talk about grand principles, but I want to tell you that Fang’er is my only daughter. All our hopes in this life are on her. Today, I’m entrusting her to you, not for any other reason than that I trust your eyes and I trust these scars on you. A man only becomes mature and responsible after experiencing hardship. I hope you will treat Fang’er well.”

“Uncle, don’t worry, I, Zhang Zilong, will keep my promise even if it costs me my life,” Zhang Zilong said firmly.

"What a good boy!" Even Liu Zhenjun couldn't help but praise Zhang Zilong.

"Look at you, you've made such a good child into such a mess. Zilong, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Auntie will get you some food." Luo Shuzhen was overjoyed that Liu Zhenjun agreed. In her mind, Liu Zhenjun was an extremely rigid and upright person. If it weren't for his personality, they wouldn't have ended up like this. However, it was precisely because of his personality that she chose to follow Liu Zhenjun.

"No, help me up. I'll cook myself today," Liu Zhenjun stopped Luo Shuzhen.

"Can you do it?" Luo Shuzhen asked in surprise, as did Liu Fang and Zhang Zilong. Zhang Zilong was surprised that Liu Zhenjun could actually cook.

"Why can't I? Bring me that cane. I haven't used it in a long time. I'll try my hand at it today. You go and start the fire." With that, Liu Zhenjun struggled to his feet and, supporting himself with the cane that Luo Shuzhen handed him, slowly made his way to the kitchen.

"What's wrong? Surprised?" Liu Fang smiled as she looked at Zhang Zilong's surprised expression.

"I am quite surprised. I didn't expect that Uncle and Aunt could speak such fluent Mandarin, and Uncle seems to be a pretty good cook." Zhang Zilong hugged Liu Fang and answered truthfully.

"Haha, my dad is a famous chef around here. No one dares to say his cooking is bad. Actually, neither my dad nor my mom are native to this area. My mom is a high achiever, and my dad used to be a chef. They're both from the city, but my mom says they used to come from a respectable family. By chance, my mom met my dad, and they fell in love instantly. My mom's family disapproved of their relationship, looking down on my dad as a low-class chef. But my mom was determined to be with him, and they were constantly fighting with their families. Finally, my mom's family couldn't take it anymore. After discovering my mom and dad meeting again..." Someone cruelly injured Dad's foot, almost breaking it. The reason Dad's foot was so badly injured this time was because of an old injury from more than 20 years ago. It's a stubborn ailment that's so difficult to cure. Since then, Mom has become disheartened with the family. But both Dad and Mom knew that their family was extremely powerful and they had no place to stand in the city. So the two of them secretly came to this poor mountain village. Dad is still a cook, and every family that holds a wedding will ask Dad to cook. Mom went to teach at the village primary school dozens of miles away. Because they were not born and raised here, they speak Mandarin so fluently." Liu Fang carefully introduced her parents' past to Zhang Zilong.

Zhang Zilong hadn't expected Liu Zhenjun and Luo Shuzhen to have such a past. They gave up everything—fame and fortune—for just a peaceful, quiet love, and resolutely came to this mountain village. This courage truly astonished Zhang Zilong. He sighed, "Ah, I really didn't expect Uncle and Aunt to have such a past. They must have suffered so much these past years, right?"

"Of course they suffered. Look at this place, so poor, practically destitute. But all of this was for me. If they hadn't insisted on giving me the best education, sending me to high school and then university, my family wouldn't be in this situation now. Zilong, promise me, don't tell them I dropped out of school. They spent their entire lives trying to send me to university; I'm their only hope. If I tell them this, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it," Liu Fang pleaded, looking at Zhang Zilong until he nodded, then she looked away with relief.

"I promise you, I won't tell Uncle and Aunt. I saw it in Uncle's eyes; I think I know he must have some regrets in his heart, you know?" Zhang Zilong suddenly remembered and said.

“Sigh, Dad is a chef, and a very talented one at that. He specializes in Hunan cuisine. Actually, before he and Mom came here, he was already a very famous chef in the area. He's always had a dream: to promote Hunan cuisine and let people all over China, even the world, know about it. This has been a source of worry for him all these years,” Liu Fang said with regret.

Hunan cuisine? An idea formed in Zhang Zilong's mind, but he wasn't sure of the specifics. He just thought for a moment and asked Liu Fang, “Do you know where your uncle and aunt are from?”

“I don't know. They never told me. I overheard them talking by chance. But I think since it's Hunan cuisine, they must be from Hunan,” Liu Fang shook her head. Zhang

Zilong nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.

“Come on, the food is ready. Sit down at the table. Fang’er, go set the table,” Luo Shuzhen said, bringing out several bowls of food and calling Liu Fang to set the table.

"Auntie, let me help," Zhang Zilong hurriedly went to help, and he really did put on a convincing act, truly befitting a son-in-law.

"No need, no need, just sit there," Luo Shuzhen quickly wiped the table clean and set the table. At this moment, Liu Zhenjun also came out from inside, leaning on his cane, and sat down at the table, saying to Luo Shuzhen, "Go and get me that medicinal rice wine that I've been collecting for decades. Zilong and I want to have a good drink."

"Oh, what's this? You're finally willing to drink today? You used to never let anyone drink," Luo Shuzhen said with a smile.

"Haha, today is different. Your son-in-law is here, go ahead," Liu Zhenjun also chuckled, though his teasing made Liu Fang, who was standing next to him, blush.

"Zilong, we didn't prepare much at home, just a few simple dishes, so I can only make these home-style dishes. Try them and see how they taste. I know you're not from Hunan, so I didn't put in much chili, in case you're not used to it," Liu Zhenjun continued to say to Zhang Zilong.

"Uncle, what are you saying? Actually, I quite like spicy food. It's because I like spicy food that I fell in love with Hunan cuisine. It's just that authentic Hunan cuisine is hard to find these days. I heard Fang'er say that you are a master of Hunan cuisine, so I'm planning to have a good meal." Zhang Zilong has one advantage: he likes to cater to people's interests. Just like now, even though he knows that Liu Zhenjun likes Hunan cuisine, he deliberately talks to him about Hunan cuisine. Actually, Zhang Zilong is not particularly hypocritical; he likes Hunan cuisine himself.

"Really? You really like Hunan cuisine? Haha, I'm not bragging, but of all the cuisines in China, Hunan cuisine is arguably the most refined. Hunan is located in the heart of south-central China, and has been a land of plenty since ancient times. Its abundant aquatic resources have allowed Hunan to gradually develop a complete culinary system. Hunan cuisine is a combination of three major regional flavors: the Xiangjiang River basin, the Dongting Lake area, and the western Hunan mountain region. The Xiangjiang River basin, centered around Changsha, Hengyang, and Xiangtan, represents Hunan cuisine. It is characterized by its meticulous preparation, wide range of ingredients, and numerous varieties. Its flavors are dry and spicy, emphasizing aroma, freshness, sourness, spiciness, and tenderness. Cooking methods include braising, stewing, steaming, and stir-frying. Hunan cuisine particularly emphasizes the absorption of flavor into the ingredients, highlighting the main flavor and the subtle nuances. Seasoning techniques vary depending on the texture of the ingredients. For example, the quick-cooking technique 'liu'..." Hunan cuisine employs various cooking methods, including slow-cooking ("simmering"), roasting (seasoning before cooking), and steaming (cooking while simultaneously infusing flavor). The nuances of flavor preparation in Hunan cuisine are meticulous, utilizing a wide variety of seasonings to create dishes with simple and complex flavors such as sour, sweet, salty, spicy, and bitter, greatly enhancing its appeal. A key characteristic of Hunan cuisine is its "sour and spicy" flavor profile, with spiciness as the dominant flavor and sourness as an underlying element. The "sourness" comes from pickled vegetables, which is more mellow and complex than vinegar. The spiciness is related to the region's geographical location. Much of Hunan is low-lying with a warm and humid climate, historically known as a "low-lying and damp land." Chili peppers have warming, appetite-stimulating, dampness-dispelling, and wind-dispelling effects, making them a favorite among the people of Hunan. Pickled peppers, through lactic acid fermentation, have appetite-stimulating and stomach-soothing properties. Besides its expertise in preparing various fish dishes, Hunan cuisine also features… Fish head dishes are particularly unique. Various fish head dishes, prepared using a combination of steaming, boiling, and sauce, are tender, smooth, and appealing to all tastes, with chopped chili fish head being the most popular. The fish head meat is tender and smooth, rich in various amino acids such as histidine and glutamic acid, as well as two unsaturated fatty acids, which are beneficial for cleaning and softening blood vessels, lowering blood lipids, improving brain function, and delaying aging. Chili peppers, in addition to being rich in vitamin C, also contain protein, calcium, iron, and capsaicin. Steamed with ginger, garlic, and other seasonings, the dishes are not only visually appealing, with tender fish meat and delicious flavor, but also have brain-boosting effects, making them very popular. Steaming is a common technique in Hunan cuisine, and among all Chinese cuisines, Hunan cuisine uses steaming the most frequently. This is because traditional Hunan cuisine uses many smoked, cured, and dried ingredients. Steaming is the best way to cook food while retaining its moisture. Steamed dishes, in particular, need to maintain their shape while remaining soft, tender, and flavorful; steaming is essential to achieving this. Steaming is one of the cooking methods that best preserves the nutrients and flavor of the ingredients. The extensive use of fish and steaming are also important guarantees of the nutritional value of Hunan cuisine…” Liu Zhenjun began to speak eloquently about Hunan cuisine. Zhang Zilong didn't know much about it, but he pretended to listen attentively, picking at the food in his bowl with his chopsticks. After one bite, Zhang Zilong exclaimed, “It’s truly amazing! The taste is incredibly good, much more authentic than any Hunan restaurant I’ve ever been to.” What Zhang Zilong remembered most was the bowl of hand-torn cabbage.

“Uncle, this bowl of hand-torn cabbage is really delicious! I’ve had it before, but none of them have tasted like yours. How can I describe it? It’s indescribable, it’s just so delicious!” Zhang Zilong exclaimed sincerely.

"Hand-torn cabbage is one of the most representative home-style dishes in Hunan cuisine. Making it requires a lot of skill. First, the cabbage shouldn't be overcooked, otherwise it will lose its sweet and crisp flavor. You can also blanch the cabbage to soften it before..."

First, stir-fry the cabbage briefly in a pan to preserve its original flavor. Second, cabbage releases water when heated, so avoid adding water while stir-frying, as this will dilute the spicy and numbing flavor and make the cabbage less sweet. Third, there are green and red Sichuan peppercorns; green peppercorns have a stronger numbing flavor and a richer aroma, so it's recommended to use green peppercorns to stir-fry the cabbage, as this will enhance the aroma and numbing sensation. Fourth, for those who dislike eating peppercorns, you can first stir-fry the peppercorns in hot oil until fragrant, then remove and discard the peppercorns before adding the cabbage and stir-frying,” Liu Zhenjun said proudly.

And so, the two drank and talked about Hunan cuisine for over two hours. “It’s getting late, you should go to sleep. I’ve changed the sheets and pillows,” Luo Shuzhen said.

Zhang Zilong smiled and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Their house only had two bedrooms, and Luo Shuzhen hadn’t thought of that. She probably assumed Zhang Zilong and Liu Fang were already sleeping together, so she arranged for Zhang Zilong and Liu Fang to stay in Liu Fang’s bedroom. Once inside, Zhang Zilong hugged Liu Fang tightly, and the two fell onto the bed.

“Fang’er, I love you,” Zhang Zilong whispered, licking her ear.

"I love you too, Zilong," Liu Fang said, blushing.

Upon receiving the order, Zhang Zilong immediately pressed his lips tightly against hers, his tongue swirling wildly inside her mouth, making Liu Fang's heart race. His free hand then mischievously unzipped her pants and pulled them all down. Wow! Liu Fang's slender... Xi Xue's abdomen was perfectly toned, her alluring navel sparking the imagination. What truly aroused Zhang Zilong was that Liu Fang was wearing a white thong, which accentuated the fullness of her mons pubis. Because the thong was so tight, her thick, dark pubic hair peeked out from the edges, already dripping with vaginal fluid, soaking her crotch. Stimulated by the sight of Liu Fang's beautiful figure, Liu Fang weakly shook her head, trying to escape Zhang Zilong's kisses. But Zhang Zilong, like a hungry wolf, tore open Liu Fang's silk blouse and pulled off her bra... His mouth moved away from Liu Fang's soft lips and sucked on her firm breast. The unprecedented stimulation made Liu Fang cry out. Zhang Zilong quickly covered Liu Fang's mouth; her parents lived next door!

Zhang Zilong reached out and stripped Liu Fang completely naked, leaving only her black stiletto heels on her feet, which accentuated her beautiful and alluring figure.

Zhang Zilong straightened his upper body and removed his shirt, his chest pressing tightly against Liu Fang's elastic, snow-white breasts, his lower abdomen and thighs pressed intimately against hers. Oh! He felt Liu Fang's smooth... The delicate skin clung to Zhang Zilong's naked body, his aroused penis throbbing as if it were about to burst. As Zhang Zilong teased Liu Fang's already soaked and slippery petals with his rock-hard penis, he saw glistening tears welling up in Liu Fang's clear eyes. Through

her tears, Liu Fang said to Zhang Zilong, "Zilong, love me well."

Zhang Zilong thrust his lower body forcefully, plunging his penis deep into Liu Fang's vagina. A joyful cry rang out as Zhang Zilong's entire thick penis was inserted to the hilt into Liu Fang's tight passage.

"Ahhh… ahhh…" Liu Fang weakly twisted her slender, alluring waist, struggling. Zhang Zilong reached out and enveloped the naked Liu Fang in his arms, one hand tightly holding her beautiful, elastic buttocks, ensuring that Liu Fang and Zhang Zilong were pressed together perfectly, without any gap. Zhang Zilong continued thrusting, his penis pounding hard, and a wet, sticky liquid flowed out. Under Zhang Zilong's relentless thrusting, Liu Fang's vaginal fluids flowed profusely, soaking the blanket. Zhang Zilong continued to fuck Liu Fang for about twenty minutes. Liu Fang's supple waist began to sway gently, responding to Zhang Zilong's thrusts. Her arms, which had been pushing Zhang Zilong away in pain, now embraced his back, and her shapely, long legs lightly wrapped around his strong waist. Zhang Zilong thrust, enjoying the tight, gritty sensation of Liu Fang's vagina rubbing against his penis. Then, Zhang Zilong's lips gently pressed against Liu Fang's soft lips. Liu Fang parted her lips slightly, drawing Zhang Zilong's tongue into her mouth. Her soft tongue was slightly hesitant, nervously touching Zhang Zilong's tongue. Zhang Zilong knew Liu Fang was aroused. He began to gently thrust his penis in and out of her vagina, the sharp edges of his glans scraping against her soft, moist walls, causing slight spasms in her. The stimulation of their intercourse intensified Liu Fang's kiss with Zhang Zilong's lips, and she began to playfully intertwine her tongue with his, her mouth releasing sweet saliva. Zhang Zilong gently tasted and sucked it. Suddenly, Liu Fang's mouth felt hot, her desire rising, and her saliva gushed forth, which Zhang Zilong swallowed in large gulps. Liu Fang's beautiful legs tightened around Zhang Zilong's waist, her mons pubis pressing against his pubic bone. Involuntarily, she reached out her soft, delicate hands and pressed them against his buttocks. Her initial awkward thrusts, responding to Zhang Zilong's movements, culminated in frenzied screams.
