Nan Hua had nothing more to say, given the situation.
He could only turn and tell the two brothers behind him, "Yun Yi, you and Sheng Yi can go back first."
The two didn't say much either, "Okay!"
After saying goodbye to everyone, they left the place of work.
Zhao Huasheng stood at the doorway, looking around. "If there's nothing else, we'll be going too?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xi turned to look at Nan Hua. "Ah Hua?"
"Let's go, there's nothing else," he replied.
"Mhm~"
On the way back, Qiu Xi didn't forget to share the good news about the script passing with Ni Xue and Shen Yan.
...
S City -
Shen Yan looked at the message Qiu Xi had sent, confirming it several times.
"!!!"
"Little Snow Flower! We actually... we really passed!"
This feeling!
It was too blissful!
Shen Yan grabbed Ni Xue and started spinning around the room...
"Stop!"
After several rounds, Ni Xue felt like she couldn't move at all.
Wobbling, like a roly-poly toy, neither falling nor staying upright.
"What's wrong?"
"Little Snow Flower~ Aren't you happy?"
"..."
Ni Xue, who felt slightly steadier by leaning on the table, looked at the overjoyed Shen Yan. "I am happy!"
"But being spun around by you, even my happiness is bouncing out of my head..."
"Uh..."
Shen Yan reached out and smoothed her slightly furrowed brow.
Too happy!
She had forgotten about this.
Ni Xue watched quietly. Only after Shen Yan calmed down did she continue,
"Now we should discuss what to do next."
With school about to start, they wouldn't be able to stay together and discuss like this anymore.
Shen Yan understood. "Mhm..."
"..."
The two thought and thought, but couldn't come up with any good ideas.
In the end, they felt they should just buckle down and, following Nan Hua and the others' game plan, finalize the script outline first.
Then, they would divide the work according to this outline and revise each other's drafts.
...
"Yaoyao~"
"I'm here~"
Everyone thought, "..."
I don't know this person!
Song Daiyao, who was taking an exception to rest due to Xiao Xi's absence, watched as Zhao Huasheng, who came in and immediately lunged at her, leaving her mind blank.
Why was this guy here?
He hadn't even told her!
But before she could finish thinking, Song Daiyao instinctively raised her hand.
Zhao Huasheng was stopped in his tracks and blinked in surprise.
He then instinctively blinked and looked at Song Daiyao. "Yaoyao!"
"Don't you miss me?"
They were so close, yet they couldn't meet often, which had made him uncomfortable for a long time.
Today, he was able to come along thanks to Sister Xi...
Song Daiyao shivered. "Stand properly and speak nicely!"
This silly guy!
Where did he learn this stuff!
He used to be a bit simple!
Now he was... simple and pretending to be a pretty boy?
"..."
It wasn't just Song Daiyao; the other three, Qiu Xi included, who followed in and saw the scene, couldn't help but shiver.
This child!
He was truly... adaptable!
"Xiao Xi!"
"You're back~"
Zhao Huasheng looked at his girlfriend, who immediately ran to greet Sister Xi upon seeing her, and was a bit taken aback.
So, was this... love transferring?
She hadn't even acknowledged him yet.
And she had already run off...
It was just like how he had rushed towards her earlier!
"Daiyao..."
Before Qiu Xi could even speak to Song Daiyao, she was called by her younger brother, who had just come downstairs.
"Sister, you're back. Mom wants you to handle those big packages of yours!"
"..."
As expected!
Being too popular wasn't necessarily a good thing.
After Qiu Xi had her thoughts, she replied, "Okay, I know."
She then turned to the others and said, "You all sit down first, I'll go and sort out the packages."
She was supposed to sort them after lunch, but her cousin had arrived then, and she was in a hurry to take him out.
She had forgotten about the packages she had finally retrieved.
"Xiao Xi, I'll help you."
"Mhm."
Watching the two girls leave, Nan Hua and Zhao Huasheng paused for a moment before following suit one after another.
In the living room, only Qiu Ge and Xu Xuanming were left, looking at each other.
"..."
As for the young couples' affairs, they... would just stay out of it.
They wouldn't go join the fun!
...
Meanwhile, Nan Hua and Zhao Huasheng, who were preparing to help unpack, were a bit surprised to suddenly see such large boxes.
These two large items made the smaller ones beside them seem insignificant.
"Xiao Xi, are these all from Uncle Shen?"
In the morning, they had only seen the two largest boxes, and Song Daiyao hadn't noticed the scattered smaller ones.
"Mhm, mostly."
Qiu Xi turned around in a corner, unsure where to start.
"Give me the knife."
Seeing the girl's eyes scanning everywhere, Nan Hua sighed and reached out to take the small knife.
Qiu Xi glanced, then handed him the item.
"Then you two handle these two big ones, and Daiyao and I will look at these smaller ones."
Nan Hua took the knife and nodded. "Mhm."
With the division of labor, the four of them packed up quite quickly.
After Qiu Xi unpacked the smaller packages, she realized that many of them were bought by her mother, miscellaneous items.
As for what Uncle Shen had sent, there were only one or two.
It was Shen Yan who had repacked and sent them herself, for fear she wouldn't know who they were from!
Setting aside the handicraft she was holding, Qiu Xi then turned to look at the two large boxes Nan Hua and the others were handling.
"..."
Looking at this pile of things – local specialties, smoked meats, fruits… all food items.
Anyone seeing this would think she was some kind of wholesale dealer, buying a bunch of things to test the quality herself.
The other box looked more normal.
It contained all her bottles and jars, just a bit more of them.
To ensure safe transport, they were packed quite securely, with plenty of filler to prevent damage, which was why the box was a bit larger.
Qiu Xi roughly counted them; there were quite a few, enough for her to distribute to several families with some left over.
It seemed Uncle Shen had really spared no expense this time!
After her musings, Qiu Xi took a newly unpacked box and started to repackage the items.
Since Nan Hua was here today, and everyone was present, she decided to let them take their portions home themselves.
"Ah Hua, these are for Grandpa Nan and Aunt Chu. Don't forget to take them back with you after dinner."
After speaking to Nan Hua, Qiu Xi then chided Zhao Huasheng, "And this one is for you. Take it back for your mother to try."
Zhao Huasheng wasn't originally on Qiu Xi's list. These items were actually just enough for her own family, plus her master and Nan family members. But since Zhao Huasheng happened to be there today!
It could only be said that luck arrived, and it couldn't be stopped!
Zhao Huasheng directly grinned and moved the small box Qiu Xi pointed to.
"Thank you, Sister Xi~"
Now he wouldn't have to listen to his mother nag when he went home!
Ever since Aunt Chu met Sister Xi, she had been subtly showing off to his mother from time to time.
Aunt Chu was happy, but his own mother wasn't.
She would nag him a few words now and then...
Now, it was fine, he could report back!
This trip was truly worth it!
Not only did he get to see his dear little darling, but he also received a big treasure to present to his dear old mother!
