How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Oh, I see."

Zhang San grinned, giving him a knowing look. He wasn't very familiar with the young mistress, but he had watched Young Master Hei Yang grow up, so he knew exactly what kind of person he was.

Well, of course, it's also possible that marriage helped Young Master Hei Yang grow and become more diligent.

Do you believe it?

Anyway, Old Zhang doesn't believe it, hehe.

"It's so deserted, isn't it mealtime?"

Hongli looked around curiously, finding the place deserted.

Has our restaurant become so deserted?

"Hey, we're not open for business yet."

Zhang San smiled and invited the two to sit down, explaining, "Since everyone is using the kitchen to help prepare the wedding banquet, there's no extra time to entertain guests."

"Ah, I see..."

Hei Yang paused for a moment, nodded, and suddenly revealed a mysterious expression, leaning closer to Zhang San and whispering something.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang, is there anything to eat here?"

"If they're busy, then don't bother them."

Hongli then adopted the demeanor of a well-mannered and obedient child, smiling shyly.

"We're fine eating anywhere, it doesn't matter."

"Hey, what are you saying?"

Zhang San waved his hand.

"Let alone this is our own restaurant, even outside, which restaurant would let its customers go out on an empty stomach?"

"Can't afford it, cough cough..."

Hongli instinctively wanted to argue, but halfway through, she suddenly realized what she was doing and stopped talking. Under Zhang San's questioning gaze, she chuckled awkwardly and said, "Uncle Zhang, you're too kind, hahaha."

"Hey, you two wait here, I'll go ask..."

Zhang San chuckled and turned to walk towards the kitchen, leaving Hei Yang Hong Li sitting there, staring at each other.

"Phew! That scared me to death."

Hongli let out a long breath, her face still showing lingering fear, and said, "I almost lost my image as a good wife."

"Huh? When did you start having this kind of persona?"

Hei Yang looked at Hong Li with suspicion: "Did you ever have that? How come I don't know?"

"Phew, look at you, I'm just trying to create the feeling of a gentle bride in advance!"

Hongli rested her chin on her hand on the table, tilting her head and looking at Heiyang with a smile on her lips.

"I know, I know. Those who know me well know what kind of person I am, but there are still those who don't know me!"

Why should we care about the opinions of people we don't know well?

Hei Yang shrugged and said nonchalantly, "They won't affect us at all."

“That won’t do. When you’re out in the world, you have to play your role well. At the very least, you can’t embarrass your parents.”

Hongli held up one finger and snorted, "It's okay to lose face at home, but as a girl, we should still be reserved in public!"

"Ah this..."

Hei Yang revealed his crescent-shaped eyes and chuckled, "Not bad, very powerful!"

"Hey, who do you think you are? Who do you think you are!"

Hong Li said with a displeased look, "You think I can't do it, right?"

"no no."

Hei Yang patted Hong Li's head and said with a smile, "I still stand by what I said: as long as you're by my side, nothing is a problem. There's no need to be too nervous about the wedding, is there?"

"Ha, come on, I know you, Black Sun, all too well."

Hongli looked at Heiyang with disdain: "Isn't it always the same? I'm always so nervous before something happens, but you look so indifferent and calm."

But when it actually happens, I'm not so nervous anymore. I feel like I'm calmly going to my execution, and that's when you start to panic.

I wanted to give you confidence and encouragement when things got better!

"Hey, I know."

Hei Yang rubbed Hong Li's head: "Let's encourage each other!"

"Humph."

Hong Li turned her head away, looking like she couldn't be bothered to pay any attention to Hei Yang.

"..."

Hong Li shifted her position and continued to offer her head to Hei Yang's palm: "Hmph!"

"hey-hey."

.........

"Come and take a look..."

Zhang San brought out the food: two glasses of fresh orange juice kindly provided by the Wood Department of the Five Elements Sect, two bowls of rice, a specialty of the Earth Department, and three plates of unidentified food covered with bowls.

"Ha, this is the real show!"

Hongli looked at the plate, then looked up at Heiyang: "May I open it?"

"uh-huh."

"please."

Zhang San smiled, served the food, and turned to leave with a flourish.

"Wow……"

The bowl lid was slowly lifted, revealing Hei Yang Hong Li with an expectant look in his eyes, which reflected a golden light.

"hiss!"

Hong Li covered it up again, looking at Hei Yang with a shocked expression: "Is this really something someone like me, who can survive on steamed buns and pickled vegetables, deserves to eat?"

"Without further ado..."

Hei Yang lifted another lid, his eyes gleaming: "Quickly taste this light-polluting food and see if it tastes like fluorescent powder!"

"Huh? What does fluorescent powder taste like?"

"Who knows."

"Tons, tons, tons..."

After finishing all the juice, Hei Yang Hongli lay back in the chair with a satisfied look on her face.

Ah, happiness!

Hei Yang Hong Li stayed until evening, having dinner there before leaving the restaurant.

The sun had not yet set; the two walked in the glow of the sunset, with dark shadows behind them.

Instead of heading towards Yang Li's house, they walked down a road they used to always travel together.

The wedding is in four days.

They should go home...

"To be honest, I'm a little full."

Hei Yang held Hong Li's hand: "Walk slowly, walk a little longer, and digest your food."

"Hmm, if we meet again next time..."

Hongli asked softly, "So you're married, Heiyang?"

"Ah."

Hei Yang nodded emphatically: "And then after that."

"After that..."

Hongli gripped his large hand tightly: "We'll never be apart again."

"Time flies so fast it makes you want to cry."

"The time will feel long after we're apart."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"That's great..." *2

.........

Time will settle the truest emotions. Storms will test the warmest companionship.
