In the past, when Old Master Ji was still alive, he would always make a bowl of fragrant noodles for the Ji siblings to taste.

Thinking of her grandfather who had passed away from illness, Ji Zhao felt a little nostalgic.

“Sister, the fire is lit.” Ji Chen poked half of his face out of the stove and smiled faintly.

“Alright.” Ji Zhao returned a smile after coming back to her senses. Then, she grabbed the dough that had already risen and kneaded it evenly again. Then, she picked up the scissors and began to cut the dough into thin strips, like small fish.

She placed the cut noodle fish into the boiling soup along the side of the pot.

Ji Zhao couldn’t help but smile when she saw the soup in the pot bubbling non-stop.

She brought over two bowls and mixed some soup with eggs and soy sauce.

Then, she scooped up a spoonful of hot soup from the pot. Finally, she scooped the cooked noodle fish from the pot and filled the bowl. Finally, she drizzled a little sesame oil on it.

“Fragrant.”

Ji Chen took a sip of the noodle fish soup and his eyes immediately turned red.

“Sister, I miss Grandfather.”

How could Ji Zhao not miss that kind and benevolent old man?

However, the elder had already passed away!

“It’s getting late. Rest early.”

Returning to the narrow little room where she had once lived for sixteen years, Ji Zhao’s mind was very calm. Perhaps the word ‘happiness’ that could be seen everywhere had washed away the hatred in the depths of her heart.

Perhaps it was because the original owner of the body had already let it go?

Ji Zhao sighed softly and told herself not to let one’s imagination run wild.

Her gaze inadvertently fell on the faded wooden box in the corner. She slowly approached, opened the box, and took out an old rattle drum.

She remembered that Old Master Ji had bought this rattle drum for her to play with when he first brought her to the market.

“Ah Tao?”

Just as Ji Zhao was immersed in the memories of the past, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.

She subconsciously turned around and saw Shen Yao’s tall figure.

“You? Why are you here?’

“I miss you.”

Without another word, Shen Yao hugged her and buried his head in her neck, greedily breathing in the fragrance of the hibiscus flowers on her body.

“Didn’t Mother say that we can’t meet three days before the wedding?’ Ji Zhao smiled helplessly.

“That’s an unreasonable rule.

“Since we’re about to get married, we should be inseparable to each other to improve our relationship! Moreover, it feels like three years to me to not see Ah Tao for a day. If we can’t see each other for three days, it’s already been six years for me!”

“Nonsense!” Hearing his illogical rebuttal, Ji Zhao was caught between laughter and tears.

“I can’t sleep without Ah Tao at home,” Shen Yao said honestly as he stared at her face.

Although they had yet to consummate their marriage, they had been sleeping on the same bed ever since they expressed their feelings.

Now that Ah Tao was going back to Pomegranate Village to get married, Shen

Yao was really not used to it.

He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

In the end, he decided to follow his heart and brought White Snow to Pomegranate Village.

“If Mother finds out, she’ll definitely be angry! ” Ji Zhao looked at him helplessly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let Mother find out.” Shen Yao smiled and said gently, rush home before dawn.’

How could Ji Zhao resist Shen Yao’s shameless behavior?

Especially when she saw such a handsome face, she couldn’t convince herself to reject him.

“This rattle drum was Ah Tao’s childhood toy?”

Shen Yao asked softly when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the item in her hand.

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded slightly. “I remember that when I was six years old, my grandfather first brought me to the market to play. I fell in love with this rattle drum at a glance. At that time, there was an exquisite hibiscus flower painted on the drum.”

Unfortunately, the painting on this rattle drum had already faded. After the drum shattered, it could no longer make a crisp sound.

“The Ji family was poor, so I didn’t have many toys when I was young.” Ji Zhao slowly squatted down and flipped through the items in the box with a faint smile. “However, Grandfather has never treated me badly. Look, this grass woven grasshopper, isn’t it very realistic?’

“It’s very lifelike.”

“Grandfather woke this himself!” Ji Zhao’s tone was subconsciously tinged with pride.

“Grandfather’s hands are indeed very nimble.”

“Of course! ”

Shen Yao accompanied her to look through the items in the box. He listened gently to the interesting things that happened in her childhood. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, but his heart was still filled with heartache. “Eh?” Ji Zhao inadvertently found a sachet and raised her eyebrows in confusion. ‘Why don’t I have any impression of this sachet?”

It was a palm-sized blue sachet embroidered with a cloud pattern.

The fabric was very soft. The rarest thing was that the auspicious cloud pattern on it was actually outlined with silver thread?

“Is that the sachet you used to wear when you were a kid?”

Ji Zhao subconsciously shook his head. “I’m not too sure. I don’t remember this sachet.”

Shen Yao took the sachet from her hand and brought it to his nose to smell it carefully.

“There’s a faint fragrance, but it’s difficult to tell what it is.”

‘Why don’t you open it?”

Ji Zhao was extremely curious. She immediately opened the sachet.

However, other than a sachet, there was nothing else inside.

“Maybe this is just an ordinary sachet?” Ji Zhao shrugged helplessly.

“Ah Tao, can you give me this sachet?”

“Here, it’s for you,” Ji Zhao said with a smile.

“Thank you, wife.” Shen Yao took the sachet and did not forget to kiss her cheek.

Ji Zhao, who had been successfully ambushed, instantly blushed.

She puffed up her cheeks angrily and glared at him fiercely.

However, she did not realize how moving her expression was.

“Ahem, it’s getting late. Ah Tao, why don’t we rest early?’

Ji Zhao narrowed her eyes and pushed him out of the room without any explanation.

“The bed in my room is too small for two people.

“Then what about me?”

Shen Yao, who was standing outside the door, asked pitifully in the cold wind.

“Figure it out yourself! ”

Ji Zhao quickly locked the door and covered her mouth as she snickered.

Shen Yao could only look at Ji Chen, who was standing not far away, for help.

“Brother-in-law, there are some things a gentleman should do and some things he shouldn’t do.” Ji Chen’s face was tense as he said in a serious tone, “If Brother-in-law really wants to marry Sister, you should follow the rules.”

“I came here rashly tonight because I was too impulsive,” Shen Yao said with some shame. “I did this because I missed her too much. I’ll leave now.”

“Okay.” Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned around and went back to the room to close the door.

Shen Yao suddenly felt a little sour..
