Returning to my senior year of high school before college, I became addicted to dating.

On September 14th, the sky in Beijing was so blue it looked like it had been washed, but there were no clouds in sight.

Lin Feng was woken up by Liu Chengcheng kicking him. This girl doesn't sleep well; she had somehow put her leg on his stomach.

Song Yan and Liu Jiaqi were still asleep. Song Yan hugged his left arm, buried her face in the crook of his shoulder, and breathed softly and evenly.

Liu Jiaqi rested her head on his right shoulder, her eyelashes curled up, and a slight smile on her lips. She must have been dreaming of something wonderful.

Lin Feng lay in the middle, his left arm numb from being pressed down, and his right arm was also numb from being pressed down, so he couldn't move.

He stared at the ceiling, thinking to himself that even turning over a new leaf required a report.

He tried to pull his arm away, and Song Yan hummed in response, hugging him even tighter.

He tried pulling on the other side, and Liu Jiaqi frowned and snuggled into his shoulder.

Lin Feng gave up struggling and decided to wait for them to wake up naturally. He really couldn't bear to wake these little cuties.

About ten minutes later, footsteps were heard in the yard.

"Old Lin, do you think the children are up yet?" Guo Yan's voice was neither loud nor soft.

Lin Haiyang said, "How would I know? I'm not an alarm clock."

Go knock on the door.

Why aren't you going?

"I'm cooking!"

"That's not a good idea! What if we run into something?"

What could you possibly run into so early in the morning?

"Haven't you ever been young? When we were young, it didn't matter whether it was early or late."

"Get lost! You old lecher!" Guo Yan cursed in a low voice, followed by the crisp sound of a slap on the arm.

Liu Chengcheng suddenly sat up in bed, her hair standing on end like a lion's mane, and mumbled a groggy shout:

"Auntie, we're up!"

The courtyard fell silent. After two seconds, Guo Yan's voice came:

"Okay, alright, breakfast is ready, get ready and come eat!"

Song Yan and Liu Jiaqi were woken up by Liu Chengcheng's shout. They sat up groggily, their eyes barely open.

Song Yan rubbed her eyes: "What time is it?"

Raymond Lam said, "It's almost eight o'clock."

Song Yan said "Oh" and lay down again.

Liu Chengcheng had already gotten out of bed, shuffling out in her slippers, tucking her hair behind her ears as she went.

Raymond Lam shouted, "Why don't you change out of your pajamas!"

Liu Chengcheng waved her hand: "It's not like we're naked. We're all family, what's there to be afraid of?"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "These people really don't consider themselves outsiders."

Breakfast was laid out on the stone table in the courtyard.

Millet porridge, boiled eggs, steamed buns, cucumber salad, salted duck eggs, fermented bean curd, and a plate of leftover braised beef from yesterday.

Guo Yan served the porridge, one bowl at a time, while Lin Haiyang peeled eggs and put them into Guo Yan's bowl.

When Lin Feng came out with the three girls, Guo Yan glanced at them, her lips twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Lin Haiyang greeted them, "Are you all up? Come on, eat while it's hot."

After eating half of their meal, Guo Yan and Lin Haiyang exchanged a glance. Guo Yan put down her chopsticks.

"Um... son, your dad and I have discussed it, and we're going to stay in the West Fourth Ring Road area tonight."

Raymond Lam looked up: "Why?"

Guo Yan said, "You young people have your own things to do. It's not convenient for you to stay here, as we are staying here."

Liu Chengcheng stopped, still swallowing the steamed bun in her mouth: "Auntie, don't be shy, we're quite comfortable."

Guo Yan smiled, stood up, patted her pants, and said, "We've already discussed it; we'll leave after we finish eating. You guys go shopping today; you have school tomorrow."

Lin Feng knew the old couple's temperament; whatever they said was law, and there was no stopping them, so he didn't try to persuade them further.

After finishing his meal, Lin Haiyang rode a Qianjiang Balance King motorcycle.

Guo Yan sat in the back seat, with one arm around Lin Haiyang's waist and the other carrying a large cloth bag.

"Son, study hard at school and don't cause trouble," Guo Yan said.

"Okay, don't worry."

"Don't waste money, earning money isn't easy."

"understood."

"Um..." Guo Yan glanced at the three girls, hesitated, and finally managed to say, "Take care of yourselves."

The three women nodded in response.

The motorcycle hummed as it exited the alley.

Lin Haiyang rode very fast, and Guo Yan shouted from behind, "You little rascal, slow down!"

Lin Haiyang's voice was carried back by the wind: "I can't slow down, if I slow down there's no wind, and I'm fucking hot!"

Watching the motorcycle disappear into the distance, Liu Chengcheng exclaimed, "The uncle and aunt have such a good relationship."

Raymond Lam said, "That's right, we've been arguing for twenty years and haven't broken up."

Song Yan said, "True love is the kind that can't be broken up by arguments."

Around nine o'clock, the four people went out.

Lin Feng drove, Song Yan sat in the passenger seat, and Liu Jiaqi and Liu Chengcheng sat in the back, heading straight for Xidan.

The hottest business district in Beijing during this period.

Mingzhu Shopping Mall is next to Zhongyou Department Store. It has five floors and is full of clothing and shoes, attracting many young people.

Lin Feng parked the car in the underground parking lot, and the four of them came up from underground. Liu Chengcheng was stunned as soon as she came out.

Wow... there are even more people than at the market in Huanan County!

"This is Beijing," Lin Feng said.

"I know this is Beijing, but this is so crowded!"

Song Yan pulled her inside: "Don't just stand there, let's go in and take a look."

Buying school supplies is a serious matter for the three girls.

Song Yan wanted to buy a financial calculator, which was sold at the Xidan Bookstore. She went to the third floor and searched for quite a while before finding it.

TI BA II PLUS, made in the USA, costs over 400 yuan.

Liu Jiaqi bought markers and a sketchbook, a set of thirty-six colors, for a little over one hundred yuan.

She spent ages browsing at the counter, trying out each color one by one. Liu Chengcheng, waiting impatiently beside her, said, "Are you choosing a husband? You're being so meticulous."

Buying clothes is the main event.

The most popular brands during this period, such as Metersbonwe, Semir, Yishion, and Jeanswest, all have flagship stores in Xidan.

Song Yan entered a store and stood in front of the pink dress for a while.

Raymond Lam said, "If you like it, give it a try."

Song Yan took it down and went into the fitting room. When she came out, Liu Chengcheng blew a lewd whistle.

The skirt fell slightly above the knee, was fitted at the waist, and had a low neckline that revealed Song Yan's collarbone and her fair skin.

Lin Feng looked at it for two seconds, then said, "I bought it."

Song Yan grabbed him, "Aren't you going to look at the price? It's 380 yuan, that's too expensive."

Raymond Lam waved his hand: "It's not expensive, as long as it looks good."

Liu Jiaqi picked out a white cotton shirt with a clean cut. After putting it on, she stood in front of the mirror, tucked her hair behind her ears, and looked at herself from the side.

Raymond Lam, standing nearby, said, "She looks like a flight attendant, she's pretty, I'll buy her."

Liu Chengcheng tried on a pair of denim shorts, revealing her long, slender legs.

Lin Feng took out his bank card: "I bought it."

The three people each bought two sets of clothes, and the total cost was less than four thousand.

Lin Feng also bought two sets for himself, spending 1,200 yuan.

As Liu Chengcheng left the mall, carrying three bags, she exclaimed, "Damn! I've become your porter!"

Song Yan smiled and said, "You're strong, so you should do more."

Liu Chengcheng glanced at her: "Then why don't you find a laborer as your boyfriend?"

Song Yan glanced at Lin Feng and said something astonishing: "Isn't he strong enough? My whole body felt like it was going to break."
