After provoking the holy maiden of Miao territory, she was infected with a love curse.

Spring Festival.

The atmosphere of celebrating the Chinese New Year is more intense in the countryside than in the city.

The whole way was filled with the crackling of firecrackers. Yin Huaixi was worried that Sang Che wouldn't be able to adapt, so she didn't even turn on her phone during the bumpy ride.

She rested her head on Sang Che's shoulder and kept talking to her.

"Cheche, you brought too many gifts."

Xiang Yuzhen wasn't unhappy that Sang Che valued her daughter so much, buying her a whole truckload of things every time. What worried her was that her in-laws would hinder Sang Che and Yin Huaixi's relationship.

We'll smash all these good things then.

Yin Zhengming had been a teacher before, so this wasn't the first time he'd heard of such things; he had some experience with them.

He struggled with his thoughts for a few days before letting it go; he understood that he had gone too far in correcting his mistakes.

Back then, their school was pushed to the limit, and several children even made a pact to jump off a building. This incident caused a huge uproar at the school, and Yin Zhengming was afraid that Yin Huaixi would eventually do the same to him.

He and his wife both hope for a better future for their daughter.

But these country folk have never seen anything like this before. Even if there are some who are open-minded, they are a minority.

The couple discussed it and decided that since they had brought Sang Che back, they should at least let him celebrate the New Year.

We cannot let their good intentions go to waste.

The couple hadn't originally planned to bring Sang Che to meet their elders so soon, but they heard from Yin Huaixi that there was no one left in Sang Che's family.

Staying in the city would mean spending the holiday alone, which I couldn't bear to do.

So they brought her back.

They deliberately came back close to the end of the year, so that even if their family objected during the New Year, the argument wouldn't be so awkward.

They've driven away good fortune and wealth.

When Sang Che heard Xiang Yuzhen say this, she shook her head: "Auntie, this is not much."

If one seeks to marry a Han woman, one should follow Han customs, including a ten-mile-long red bridal procession.

Sang Che could never forget the grand spectacle she witnessed when Han Chinese women got married.

From furniture to bridal sedan chairs, from phoenix coronet and embroidered robes to gold and jade artifacts, from everyday calligraphy to land deeds and property deeds.

Lanterns, red silk, gongs and drums, suona.

Finally, the coffin was placed as the final piece.

Her beloved Huai Xi deserves these things, and should have them.

There aren't many of these things.

Not one can be missing.

Hearing Sang Che's arrogant tone, Xiang Yuzhen was still stunned, while Yin Huaixi seemed unfazed and used to it.

She laughed and reached out to pinch Sang Che's soft cheek, whispering in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "A-Che, just keep losing."

Yin Huaixi could indeed be supported by Sang Che for the rest of her life, but she still planned to submit a resume after graduating from university.

Knowing that she was trying to distract and comfort her, Sang Che leaned closer and whispered in Yin Huaixi's ear, "I can't finish it all by myself, Huaixi, you should come with me."

"It's a case of two people losing."

Yin Huaixi: "!!!"

Who says there aren't the most beautiful love words in the world!

Because her elders were still in the car, Yin Huaixi didn't flirt with Sang Che too much.

The two of them were somewhat more restrained, unlike their lawless behavior in the villa.

The car arrived at Grandpa and Grandma's house quickly.

When Yin Huaixi got out of the car, she was still telling Sang Che to be careful of the gravel on the road.

Sang Che did not comment on this.

This wasn't her first time visiting the countryside. Back in the Miao village, she often ventured deep into the mountains to catch poisonous insects and dig for medicinal herbs.

The main road built in the countryside was far too wide for Sang Che.

Where can you fall down?

However, since his wife wanted to help him, he went with her.

Sang Che was completely obedient and didn't expose Yin Huaixi's true intentions.

As he got out of the car, Sang Che casually grabbed Yin Huaixi's slender fingers, and she held on tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

Firecrackers went off in front of Grandpa and Grandma's house, and several children rushed out, peering curiously at Yin Huaixi's family who had just returned.

Yin Zhengming moved to the city a long time ago, which shows that the Yin family is quite successful. He originally planned to bring his elders to live in the city.

However, the two elderly people disagreed and insisted on living in the countryside to retire.

They say this place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the vegetables and rice they grow themselves are safe to eat.

Why go to the city to suffer?

Yin Huaixi only goes back to the countryside during holidays and is not very familiar with her grandparents.

The last time she came back here was last year. Her dad would occasionally go back when he had time off.

Her mother was also going back to her parents' home.

Yin Huaixi was having a wonderful time at home all by herself, completely forgetting about home.

The two were holding hands in a very ambiguous manner, which was extremely eye-catching in the crowd, especially since Sang Che was wearing a black tight-fitting turtleneck sweater with a long trench coat.

She was tall, and people in the courtyard could spot her at a glance.

"Yuzhen, who is this?"

An elderly woman with white hair was holding a red envelope, intending to give it to Yin Huaixi.

She saw that Yin Huaixi was accompanied by tall classmates, whose appearances were hard to ignore.

Xiang Yuzhen hesitated to speak, but then Yin Zhengming interjected, "Mom, she's Huaixi... a very good... friend."

"There's no one home, he's all alone."

"So we let her come back with us."

Not wanting to upset his elderly mother on New Year's Eve, Yin Zhengming and his wife discussed it and decided to wait until after the New Year to discuss the matter.

But the old lady wasn't one to be trifled with; she could tell at a glance that the relationship between Yin Huaixi and Sang Che was "abnormal."

How can classmates be this close?

But since it was Chinese New Year, she couldn't press her son and granddaughter for answers, so she could only invite them in.

"Hey bro, you got a new car?"

"This Land Rover is so impressive!"

As the car drove into the courtyard, the people sitting together all looked at Yin Zhengming with envy.

Feeling embarrassed by the stares, Yin Zhengming could only scratch his head and say, "Oh, stop praising me, this car isn't mine."

"It belongs to Huaixi."

This sentence immediately drew everyone's attention to Sang Che. She looked to be only in her early twenties, yet she could afford a Land Rover.

They must be rich!

Sang Che's eyes were like water. She smiled at everyone and said to Yin Zhengming, "Uncle, please take out the gift I brought."

...

A crowd outside was making a racket, marveling at what Sang Che had brought back.

Yin Huaixi led Sang Che back to their bedroom.

"I lived here when I was little, and it hasn't changed much. Ah Che, you'll sleep with me tonight." As Yin Huaixi opened her suitcase and pulled out a nightgown, she was stunned to find something that Sang Che had secretly stuffed inside when she wasn't looking.

Helpless, she clutched her pajamas and turned to Sang Che, warning, "Don't try anything funny!"

Sang Che: "..."

She chuckled softly and walked towards Yin Huaixi.

"Huaixi, I'm not that inconsiderate of the situation, am I? I know very well what I should and shouldn't do."

Her body was embraced, and Yin Huaixi remained motionless: "Don't I know you?"

"You think you can just do whatever you want? That's too casual."

"I can usually agree to your request, but I really can't today, Ah Che. Everything has its limits."

Sang Che buried her head deeply in Yin Huaixi's neck, nuzzled against her, and said in a rather dejected tone, "Huaixi, can I ask for a red envelope?"

"I won't make a fuss anymore."

Sang Che wasn't asking for red envelopes because she was greedy; she just wanted to do it this way.

Perhaps she really could become Yin Huaixi's family.
