The second brother is at the age where he can date and get married.

But before that, Tian Xiang hopes he can seriously think about the path his future should take. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Tian Chenhui: "You know my grades were bad before, and I feel like my current job is pretty good, so I want to settle there."

It seems this person doesn’t have any aspirations for the college entrance exam.

Tian Xiang glanced at his forehead, side character 22, becoming more marginalized.

A bit sad, but this is also the life of ordinary people.

Tian Xiang: "Alright then, work well at your job, don’t cause any troubles. If you find a girl you like, tell mom, don’t do sneaky things and be irresponsible to her."

"Got it."

...

The May Day holiday quickly arrived.

Tian Xiang took a red packet wrapped nicely and those two soap boxes, checked the time, and headed out.

Wearing a dress today made it inconvenient to bike, so she took the bus.

When the bus arrived, she squinted to see, realizing her mistake—the bus was too crowded and with this blazing sunshine, it wasn’t a pleasant ride.

But oh well, it was like this, so she braved her way onto it.

After a shaky half-hour ride, Tian Xiang got off near the entrance to the Mechanical Factory.

She didn’t rush to leave, first finding a shady spot to wipe the sweat off her face, took out a mirror to check herself repeatedly, confirming her hair was not messed up, and she looked as beautiful and confident as ever.

Tian Xiang straightened her chest and sucked in her stomach, took a deep breath, ready to put away the mirror and head into the factory, when suddenly a familiar face appeared in the mirror.

Tian Xiang was startled, nearly throwing the mirror away, she clutched her chest and whispered, "Hallucination, hallucination, I miss him too much, now I’m hallucinating in broad daylight."

This is really...

Tian Xiang sighed and lifted the mirror again.

Even if it’s a hallucination, she still wanted to take another look!

She hoped in her heart, and then Meng Cheng’an’s face appeared again, getting closer, his chin slowly resting on her shoulder.

Tian Xiang couldn’t hold back, let out an "ah" and jumped, turning around.

Behind her, Meng Cheng’an was startled by her jump and retreated half a step, laughing and asking, "What are you doing?"

He has the nerve to ask what she’s doing.

Tian Xiang: "You, you, when did you come back?"

Came back without a word, is that really him?

Tian Xiang had some doubts, eyeing him from head to toe.

He seemed a bit different, slightly having dark circles which looked like he hadn’t rested well last night, but his complexion was good, eyebrows and eyes smiling confidently, wearing his favorite white shirt, he appeared to be glowing.

Ah, really handsome!

Indeed, no matter how many times she looked, he’s always the most handsome young lad on Red Fifth Street.

Tian Xiang grinned and pinched his arm.

True, true, he really came back.

Tian Xiang felt real now, her excitement soaring, she playfully punched his chest, "You, why didn’t you say a word about coming back?"

Pulled a surprise check, scared her half to death!

Meng Cheng’an watched her face transition from shock to expectation, now becoming excited and joyous, feeling sweet and soft inside, he held her little hand on his chest, softly said, "Wanted to give you a surprise."

Tian Xiang: "Turned into a scare."

Meng Cheng’an: "I don’t think so."

Tch, starting to argue now.

Tian Xiang noticed quite a few people looking over, glanced at him reproachfully, blushed and withdrew her hand, "Alright, let’s go."

Since he’s back now, let’s attend Chen Yong’s wedding together.

Tian Xiang noted he’s still pushing a bicycle, asked him when he arrived?

"I arrived this morning, took a nearly ten-hour train ride, first went to the Military and Political Institute to change clothes. Wanted to pick you up but saw I was short on time, so I came here to wait."

Although Mr. Meng and Meng Cheng’an had left, the house at the Military and Political Institute was kept and occasionally someone cleaned it.

Meng Cheng’an initially thought she would ride a bike here, hence waited at the factory entrance, didn’t expect her to take the bus.

Also, she was uniquely special, the only color in his eyes, he saw her as soon as she got off, otherwise she wouldn’t have been startled.

Tian Xiang: "How long are you staying this time? Not just today, right?"

The May Day holiday is only one day, with the weekend adding just two days.

Meng Cheng’an: "I took leave, can stay for a week."

"Really?"

Tian Xiang looked at him joyfully, then worriedly said, "Won’t it affect your studies?"

Meng Cheng’an: "It won’t."

Alright then, since he’s back, stay a few more days.

"But I have to go to work the day after tomorrow."

Meng Cheng’an: "I’ll go with you."

Fine, as long as he’s happy.

The two of them entered the factory gates, Meng Cheng’an greeted the security guard grandpa.

The grandpa saw him, chuckling, "Back to see Tian Xiang?"

Meng Cheng’an nodded.

Security guard grandpa, "Is your grandpa doing well?"

"Pretty well."

"That’s good then..."

Finally, things are looking up.

The two went to the factory cafeteria, since they arrived a bit later, quite a few people were already sitting inside.

Upon seeing them enter, the previously noisy cafeteria quieted for a moment, everyone looked towards the entrance at the golden boy and jade girl, realizing it was Meng Cheng’an, then started whispering again.

No wonder he was standing with Tian Xiang, turns out he’s from the Meng Family.

He looks so proper.

He’s a college student now, it’s different...

Tian Xiang first went to deliver the red packet and small gifts.

Meng Cheng’an saw someone specifically recording these, softly said to Tian Xiang, "I didn’t prepare anything."

He had never attended anyone’s wedding before, didn’t know about this.

Tian Xiang: "It’s alright, we’ll count it as one gift."

"Alright."

The two quickly found a spot to sit down.

The bride and groom hadn’t arrived yet, banquet hadn’t started, everyone was chatting at tables.

However, once Tian Xiang and Meng Cheng’an arrived, they undoubtedly became the focus.

Shortly after sitting down, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl shyly approached Meng Cheng’an and asked, "Are you Meng Cheng’an?"

Meng Cheng’an looked at her with curiosity, nodded.

The girl was thrilled, extended her hand, "Hello comrade Meng, I’m Luo Qian, a new propaganda clerk from the publicity department, taking over your previous job."

Meng Cheng’an "Oh" softly, shook hands with her lightly, "Hello."

Luo Qian saw Meng Cheng’an wasn’t as reserved as rumors had, immediately started chatting beside him, she admired his penmanship so much.

This Luo Qian, really seemed outgoing.

Initially Tian Xiang didn’t mind, but later she was a bit jealous.

Rarely does he come back, yet he’s chatting with someone else.

Meng Cheng’an didn’t want to ignore her, soon pulled Tian Xiang’s hand over, holding and squeezing it.

Luo Qian wasn’t oblivious, awkwardly laughed a couple of times, greeted them and left.

Tian Xiang withdrew her hand, glanced at the person next to her, "Nice, starting to become popular, is it the same way at school? How are the female classmates in your class, are they good-looking?"

Meng Cheng’an didn’t reply, just looked at her and chuckled softly.

Tian Xiang: "..."

Talking serious matters, what’s so funny.
