Mooncake

Shu Yunyi rubbed her eyes and sat up, asking groggily,

"What time is it?"

"Around eight or nine o'clock," Shen Yi replied, glancing at his phone screen.

Although there was nothing special to do today, they weren't at home, so it wasn't appropriate to stay in bed any longer.

There were also gradually people coming and going outside, and it was impossible to sleep soundly.

"Get dressed quickly and come out to wash up. Breakfast is being prepared," Shen Yi informed her and then zipped up the tent, leaving her inside to get dressed.

After a while, Shu Yunyi ducked out of the tent, putting on her shoes with one hand and covering her shawl with the other. It was still a bit chilly in the morning.

Shen Yi handed her the prepared toothbrush and cup, and Shu Yunyi took them and went to wash up on her own.

Then Shen Yi dished out the noodles. The timing was perfect; if he cooked them any longer, they would turn mushy.

Shu Yunyi finished brushing her teeth and carefully wiped her face with a wet wipe.

She walked over, picked up the coffee, took a sip, and said with great interest,

"When did you get the license plate for the car?"

Shen Yi followed her gaze and replied,

"Oh... I just got it changed the other day. You can't use the temporary license plate forever."

"Why this number?"

Shen Yi said indifferently,

"I just randomly selected it. They were all a bunch of messy numbers, and this one was the most pleasing to the eye."

"Come and have something to eat," Shen Yi said.

Shu Yunyi nodded, sat down at the table, picked up the bowl, and started eating.

The breakfast was simple, and they quickly finished it.

After that, Shu Yunyi began to tidy up the inside of the tent, while Shen Yi was in charge of the outside.

Working together, they packed up the small campsite.

Shu Yunyi collected all the garbage generated during the process in a bag and threw it into the special trash can in the scenic area, making sure the place was just as they found it when they left.

Shu Yunyi got into the car with her straw hat and sat in the passenger seat, starting to sort out the photos.

This was her old habit, and this time was no exception.

She had taken a lot of photos along the way, whether it was the scenery or the process of camping.

"What a pity..."

Shu Yunyi murmured as she looked at the photos.

Shen Yi was driving the car down the mountain and asked her upon hearing this,

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Shu Yunyi replied casually with a sigh.

"The moon was so beautiful last night, but I didn't take good pictures of it."

"Taking pictures with a phone is just too difficult. It seems like it didn't capture even one-tenth of the beauty of the real scene."

Compared with the professional cameras she used when she was doing self-media in her previous life, a phone was definitely inferior.

Shen Yi could only comfort her,

"It's just for the memory. Anyway, the best scenery has already been stored in your mind, right? You can buy better equipment later if you like."

Shu Yunyi nodded and said,

"That's the only thing I can do."

Then she carefully sorted and saved all the photos of the two of them, and then uploaded them to the cloud drive. She would also put them on a hard drive when she got back. Only then did she feel secure.

After finishing the sorting, Shu Yunyi was satisfied. She was really happy about this trip.

They drove down the mountain and out of the scenic area, and the car smoothly got on the highway.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Shen Yi asked Shu Yunyi on the way.

Shu Yunyi replied,

"No plans. Just drop me off at school."

After thinking for a while, she added,

"I might go to my mom's place tonight and have dinner with her."

Shen Yi nodded and said,

"That's right."

"Did your mom ask you why you didn't accompany her during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Shu Yunyi raised her eyebrows and said,

"Yes, she did. Why wouldn't she?"

"However, she knows that I didn't really want to go back there before, so she doesn't really care about it."

Shen Yi didn't say much after hearing this, but just said,

"Spend more time with her."

Shu's mother was getting old, and life was limited. One should spend as much time as possible with their parents while they were still young.

Shu Yunyi herself knew this and replied to him,

"I understand. I've been chatting with her often recently."

"Moreover, she was so happy to see me quit drinking voluntarily."

The two of them chatted casually. Since there were quite a few cars on the road, it was already past eleven o'clock when they arrived at the entrance of Jingyuan University.

Shu Yunyi got out of the car, turned around, and smiled,

"Since it's already noon, come in and have something to eat with me."

Shen Yi was a bit surprised upon hearing this and then said,

"You mean the school cafeteria? Is it appropriate for me to go?"

Shu Yunyi waved her hand indifferently and said,

"What's inappropriate? Let's go. We'll pay for the food anyway."

Hearing this, Shen Yi parked the car and accompanied her into the school. Anyway, it was the same whether he ate at home or here.

The two of them walked side by side slowly to the school cafeteria.

Since it was a holiday, there weren't many people, and the cafeteria looked rather deserted.

Shen Yi randomly ordered some dishes and accompanied Shu Yunyi to have lunch in the cafeteria.

After lunch, he sent Shu Yunyi to her apartment and then got in the car and left.

When he got home, Shen Yi carried the tent from the trunk upstairs. It would take up space if he left it in the car.

As soon as he reached the corridor, Shen Yi saw something hanging on the doorknob from afar.

He walked closer and saw that it was a paper bag. He took it off.

When he opened the paper bag, there was a box of mooncakes inside. There was no brand or production date on it, and there were twelve mooncakes neatly arranged inside.

'She sent this...'

Shen Yi didn't need to guess to know that this was sent by Cheng Jun last night.

He carried the paper bag into the house and put the tent in the corner.

He couldn't ignore Cheng Jun's kindness. He opened the box and took out a mooncake to taste.

It was a lotus seed paste filling, and the taste was sweet but not too greasy.

Dear reader, there is more to this chapter. Please click the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

The mooncakes were not very uniform in size. They weren't made with a mold.

It was probably like the cookies she baked last time. She probably learned how to make them on the spot.

Shen Yi ate three mooncakes in a row, and each one had a different flavor. There was red bean paste, five - kernel, and the lotus seed paste he just ate. It was obvious that she had really put a lot of effort into it.

He put the remaining mooncakes away and took out his phone to send a message to Cheng Jun.

"The mooncakes have been received. They taste great. Thank you."

After sending the message, Shen Yi went to pour a glass of water. When he came back, Cheng Jun's reply had already arrived.

It was very simple, just a shy emoji of a face covered with hands.

Shen Yi stared at the screen and smiled.

He couldn't waste the afternoon. He still hadn't used his simulation times for today, so he quickly started the matching process.

When he woke up again, it was almost four o'clock.

Shen Yi didn't care about the settlement evaluation. He quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom to wash his face.

After coming out, he changed into a new set of clothes while taking out his phone to send a message to Fu Nanzhi.

Fortunately, he had asked in advance. Fu Nanzhi and Ji Shulan had gone to her father - in - law's place for the reunion yesterday, and they weren't in Jianyuan District now.

Shen Yi had to go to Shangyang District, where her parents lived, to pick up Fu Nanzhi.

Fortunately, he often went to this place in the simulations, so he was quite familiar with it now.

He went downstairs, started the car, and drove out of the community.

Leaving Jianyuan District, he came to Shangyang. Although he had been active in Jingyuan since graduation, he really didn't come to this place often.

Fu's parents lived in a place called 'Bojingyuan'. It was an old community. The first - phase buildings had already been renovated.

Their place was in the second - phase, which was a villa area.

When he drove to the entrance, Shen Yi lowered his head and sent a message to Fu Nanzhi.

After a while, a beautiful figure came running towards him.

She was wearing a light green knitted cardigan over a white inner lining, paired with a pair of form - fitting jeans and a pair of white sneakers. Her overall image exuded a bright and natural aura.

It was Fu Nanzhi.

Suddenly, deviating from her usual urban - stylish dressing style and returning to everyday clothing, she looked stunning in Shen Yi's eyes.

She was like a childhood sweetheart he had accompanied for years, and also like a long - lost neighbor girl.

She came towards him like a spring breeze, so fresh and elegant.
