”The roof looks even more beautiful. Do you want to go up and take a look?” Xiang Qicheng saw that Chu Yu was admiring and looking up at the stars in the sky, he pointed to the stairs in the backyard.

The old mansion was built up to the third floor, and the rear courtyard stairs could directly connect to the roof, making it convenient for Aunt Chen to dry his bedding and other things. Occasionally, he could also dry some carrot, dried sweet potatoes to dry his food.

Chu Yu shook his head. They would be leaving in a while, it would be a waste of time if he went up to the Heaven Stage.

Besides, the roof was dark. She was too timid to go.

Just as he was speaking, Aunt Chen walked out from the fields and closed the bamboo door behind him. He carried a gunny sack on his back.

”Aunt Chen, what are you doing in the fields at night? ”It's so dangerous.” Xiang Qicheng went forward and took the sack from her, his tone carrying worry.

The garden was big, and there might be some insects or something like that. He was afraid that the Aunt Chen would be bitten.

Chu Yu also went to Aunt Chen's side and took the small shovel and flashlight from her.

”I'll pick some pumpkin eggplants for you guys to take back. The ones in the city are not as fresh as the ones in my field …” ”Leave it here, I'll go get more eggs …” After entering the room, she pointed at an empty area and asked Xiang Qicheng to put down the gunny sack, then she quickly walked towards the direction of the kitchen.

Chu Yu laughed, his heart was filled with warmth, it was the first time that he had experienced this kind of love that was similar to that of a loved one.

Even before she was born, her grandfather had already passed away. She had only heard of her grandfather's deeds from some of her elders and knew that he was a respected doctor. But in the end, they had never met before, no matter how others might say Grandpa, this term was still just a vague term for Chu Yu.

Seeing that Aunt Chen went to the garden late at night just to pick fruits and vegetables for and himself, and was extremely busy just to settle them down, Chu Yu instantly experienced a feeling that he had never experienced before.

This was a love that contained both love and hope.

”Enough is enough for Aunt Chen, there's no need for so much, keep some for yourself. Chu Yu and I will come back next time.” Seeing Aunt Chen put the whole box of eggs wrapped in red paper into the gunny sack, Xiang Qicheng could not help but say.

”That's right Aunt Chen, next time you have to make us fermented eggplants.” The moment the words left his mouth, for some reason, Xiang Qicheng felt a sense of security and comfort in his heart, even though he knew that she was saying those words for Aunt Chen to hear.

After putting everything in the trunk, the two got on the car. The car door closed and the window rolled down slowly. Aunt Chen stood at the door and waved as he smiled at them.

”Young Master, you must bring Miss Chu here often …” While laughing, Aunt Chen laughed until he was crying. He used his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes, unwilling to part with her.

The old dwelling was left behind by the Xiang Family tens of years ago. Due to the good environment here, the Old Mistress Xiang had moved from his original nursing home to here. However, up till now, the eldest son of the Xiang Family had only been here three times.

Normally, Xiang Qicheng would come visit Old Mistress Xiang and Aunt Chen, but later on, he was busy for a long period of time and couldn't see anyone. Now that he was gone, and he didn't know when he would come again, Aunt Chen was naturally a little sad.

After driving out of the courtyard for a long distance, Chu Yu saw from the rearview mirror that Aunt Chen was still standing at the entrance, and her line of sight became further and further away until the old mansion became a small black dot. She retracted her gaze, and could not help but feel a little reluctant.

Returning to the Xiang Family from the old dwelling, the huge villa became spacious and empty. The living room was quiet, just like it had been when they left.
