After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 14 Four Joys Courtyard

Watching ants move house?
Biological laws?

Most people really can't come up with such a sophisticated reason.

“That’s impressive,” Meng Weiyuan said.

Yustia: "..."

She felt the other person was being sarcastic, but she had no evidence.

"What kind of place is this Sixi Courtyard?" In order not to dwell too much on the "ants moving house" question, You Sijia took the initiative to change the subject.

Meng Weiyuan: "Our wedding room."

Yuska felt the man's gaze fall on her as he spoke.

She unexpectedly met someone's gaze. Whether it was because the words "wedding room" carried a special meaning, or because Meng Weiyuan's eyes seemed tangible and gave her a sense of pressure, her ears turned red uncontrollably.

“…Oh.” Yustia looked away, pretending nothing had happened. “I think the calligraphy on the plaque hanging outside the courtyard is quite nice.”

"You like it?" Meng Weiyuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

“Hmm.” Yuska nodded. “It seems to have the same words on the plum garden and peach garden I visited before.”

All are vigorous and powerful, with strokes that flow like dragons and snakes.

Meng Weiyuan nodded slightly, "Understood, I will write the invitations myself."

Yustia: "? Huh?"

Meng Weiyuan turned to look at her. "Didn't you say you liked me?"

Yu Sijia met Meng Weiyuan's deep eyes, paused for a moment, then blinked, "You wrote this?"

Meng Weiyuan nodded.

This wasn't something that needed to be highlighted, but Yustya just happened to notice these unremarkable plaques.

Yustia: "..."

That's not what she meant. Who writes invitations by hand these days? Everyone prints them electronically.

Moreover, even though her wedding preparations were all handled by specialists and she didn't have to worry about much, Yuska could imagine how many guests would be invited, given the social standing of their two families.

If everything had to be written by hand, even just writing down the names of the invited guests would be a daunting task.

“That’s not what I meant either…” Yusya muttered softly.

Meng Weiyuan had already pushed open the door to the main hall of the courtyard. Upon hearing this, he said, "It's alright, as long as you like it."

Yustia: "..."

It felt a little awkward to come with my fiancé to see the bedroom where they would be living together in the future.

Especially when Yuska saw the large bed, more than two meters wide, in the center of the room, for a moment, she almost didn't know where to look.

The room's furnishings followed the style of the several gardens we had passed by before, with the same simple and elegant design.

The sofas and other furniture with a strong sense of design are cleverly integrated into the entire new Chinese-style architecture without feeling out of place at all.

The room is bright from two sides, and from the front, it looks like a miniature pond with an arched bridge over it.

Flowers are planted around the pond, and they bloom in profusion during the height of summer.

Looking behind, there is a small garden, and next to the path paved with bluestone slabs, there is a swing made of solid wood.

The bedroom was large, but Yusjia was a little hesitant to look around. "Do you need anything added? Is there anything you're not satisfied with?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

He came today without having the housekeeper accompany Yuska, because he thought Yuska might be embarrassed to make a request in front of outsiders.

Yuska shook her head. "Everything is fine."

Meng Weiyuan frowned. "Really?" He remembered that when he was chatting with his future father-in-law, the latter mentioned his eldest daughter, saying that she was very picky and spoiled, and that most people might not be able to stand her personality.

But now, in Meng Weiyuan's eyes, the young girl in front of him doesn't seem so picky or difficult to please.

“Really, really, of course it’s true,” Yuska said quickly. She was the first to walk out of the bedroom with a huge double bed, without even having a chance to look at the clothes rack and bathroom that connected the two sides of the bedroom. She stepped out the door as if she were escaping.

Meng Weiyuan had no choice but to follow her out. He walked behind You Sijia, looking at the back of her figure that seemed to be fleeing in panic, and smiled slightly.

It's getting late, so Meng Weiyuan plans to take You Sijia out for dinner first.

"Is it a restaurant nearby?" After leaving Sixi Courtyard, You Sijia finally felt her face cool down a bit. She asked when she heard Meng Weiyuan say that they should go eat first.

"Hmm, a Cantonese restaurant." Meng Weiyuan was worried that You Sijia wouldn't be used to northern cuisine, so he specifically chose a Cantonese restaurant with a good reputation nearby.

Yu Sijia checked the place Meng Weiyuan mentioned; it was less than 800 meters from the alley, very close, within walking distance.

She was just about to take a walk along the path outside the alley. "Can I walk over there?" she asked.

Meng Weiyuan was taken aback. "You want to take a walk and see?"

Yuska: "If I'm going to live here in the future, I'd like to walk around a bit, just to familiarize myself with the routes in advance."

She has a slight problem with directions and can't quite distinguish between east, west, south, and north.

Meng Weiyuan remained silent for a moment.

"Is that not allowed?" Yustya asked.

“Okay.” Meng Weiyuan nodded in agreement with her suggestion, “but you might need to be mentally prepared.”

Just as Yusjia was about to ask what kind of mental preparation she should make, she had already walked to the main entrance and reached out to press the switch of the electronic door on the wall.

The door slowly opened, and at the same time, Yusya heard several exclamations in her ear.

She subconsciously looked in the direction the sound came from, and her gaze met that of several young people standing at the door, who were looking on in surprise.

Standing closest to the gate were two young, stylishly dressed girls, and a little further ahead, a young man was holding a camera.

Yuska was also stunned.

In a daze, she seemed to understand why Meng Weiyuan had been silent for a moment.

Yusjia couldn't help but turn her head, her gaze trying to find that familiar figure.

Meng Weiyuan had already walked to her side. He seemed quite calm, his gaze not lingering on the people taking photos at the entrance, but only on You Sijia. "Are you still walking?"

Yustia: "..."

Walking through the alley, the lush, vibrant leaves of the plane trees overhead almost completely block out the sunlight, so it doesn't feel too hot.

"Why didn't you remind me just now?" Yusijia looked down and stepped on Meng Weiyuan's shadow, unable to help but complain in a low voice.

She never expected that tourists would be taking photos right outside her door; it was a completely different feeling from living in Nancheng Manor.

Meng Weiyuan: "...It wasn't in time."

When Yusijia suggested walking to the restaurant, Meng Weiyuan was about to say that the front door of most houses is not usually open, and this area is considered a tourist area with many pedestrians and tourists coming and going at the entrance every day.
