"Welcome home!"

A bus passed by the health clinic, and Cao Lei, who had been away for several days, finally returned.

"Zhao..."

Tears instantly welled up in Cao Lei's eyes, making her look even more haggard and tugging at people's heartstrings.

"There, there, it's good to be back, no need to think too much!"

"I specially prepared a table full of good food for you today, to welcome you back."

"All the bad luck will disperse, and good fortune will naturally come."

Zhao Tienan plucked a sprig from the willow tree at the entrance and gently brushed it over Cao Lei.

This is a custom of Fengshan Village!

Whenever someone returns from a government institution, whether detention or prison, they need to have the bad luck brushed off.

"Thank you, Zhao."

"I know you've been working hard for me during this time, otherwise, there's no way I could have returned so quickly."

"I feel really lucky to have met you..."

Cao Lei pursed her lips, looking like a pitiful flower, her beauty captivating Zhao Tienan's eyes.

"Isn't it only right?"

"Since you followed me, how could I just stand by and watch you get wronged?"

"Come on, let's go home, we can chat over dinner."

Zhao Tienan grabbed Cao Lei's hand and led her inside.

By this time, Xie Xin was busy in the kitchen, bringing out the food Zhao Tienan had prepared.

Her slim, enchanting figure paired with a small apron made her look like a maid stepped out of an anime, making one's mouth water.

"Lei, you're finally back, we've been worried sick about you."

"I specially brewed some wild grape wine to calm your nerves, you must drink plenty today."

Calming wine is also a tradition in Fengshan Village, similar to using willow branches to brush off bad luck.

After drinking three cups, all the anxiety from being wronged would vanish.

"Hmm, thank you..."

Cao Lei, known for her drinking capacity, just smiled sweetly and drank three cups in a row, unfazed.

"Wild grape wine?"

"This is a delicacy, pour me some too, let me have a taste."

Zhao Tienan glanced over, and his craving immediately awoke.

"No way, today's pot of wild grape wine is all for Lei."

"Yours is over here, today you can only drink this."

Xie Xin flicked her chic short hair and casually placed a big jar in front of Zhao Tienan.

"This is..."

Zhao Tienan looked at the large jar, eyes widening as he asked.

"This is your tonic!"

"Lei has been away for so many days and cooped up in such a high-pressure environment, she definitely needs some comfort."

"So tonight, you better step up, don't just make do!"

Xie Xin nudged her good friend playfully, her words directed at Zhao Tienan but teasing Cao Lei.

"I, I..."

A lovely pink flushed across Cao Lei's cheeks.

But she fumbled for words and couldn't express anything.

There was no doubt Xie Xin was right; Cao Lei had long been overwhelmed with longing, and tonight she surely needed to find some solace in Zhao Tienan's embrace...

"Uh, well, alright then, since you said so, give me another jar. You don't have to leave tonight; after all, whether it's one sheep or two, they all roam!"

Zhao Tienan suddenly chimed in.
