Wuan County Town is just a small city that gradually quiets down after nightfall. The only places still lively are the street food stalls, which often remain brightly lit until three or four in the morning. Young people who enjoy staying out late tend to come here for a bite to eat.
"Boss, I'll have a plate of wet stir-fried rice noodles."
After leaving Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse, Ancient Sorcerer found a nearby food stall and sat down, feeling a bit hungry after a busy night.
"Sure thing!"
The boss replied, quickly stir-frying in a large wok, and soon a steaming plate of wet stir-fried rice noodles was placed in front of Ancient Sorcerer.
"Ancient Sorcerer?"
Just as he picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat, a surprised voice came from behind him. Turning around, Ancient Sorcerer was taken aback—Feng Leyao was standing less than two meters away, looking at him.
"What... how come you're here?"
Back when they were classmates at Wuan County No. 1 High School, Ancient Sorcerer and Feng Leyao had spent three years together in the same class. Both of them had excellent academic performance and often competed with each other at first, but gradually they began to appreciate each other, leading to a budding romance.
At the graduation party in their senior year, after drinking a few beers to muster his courage, he invited Feng Leyao to dance and even kissed her on the forehead.
"Why can't I be here?"
Feng Leyao had come out to grab something to eat and didn't expect to run into Ancient Sorcerer.
As she sat down across from him, Ancient Sorcerer's gaze involuntarily flickered. Even under the dim yellow light, her slightly tilted face radiated a snow-like whiteness. Not to mention her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, clear eyes like a spring, straight nose, cherry lips, and smooth jade-like cheeks. Her short hair looked quite charming, and her simple T-shirt and jeans accentuated her slender figure.
She was as beautiful as ever, reminiscent of their school days, momentarily captivating Ancient Sorcerer.
"What are you doing?"
Noticing Ancient Sorcerer's gaze on her, Feng Leyao's face flushed red as she shot him a glare.
"Oh... it's been a while. How have you been?"
Ancient Sorcerer finally came to his senses. The beauty remained as exquisite as jade, but neither of them was the youthful boy or girl from years ago.
"Why haven't you contacted me?"
Feng Leyao did not answer Ancient Sorcerer's question but instead began to reproach him.
"Well... after I went to college, I joined the army, and then... it's a complicated story."
Ancient Sorcerer sighed inwardly. After the college entrance examination, they ended up at different schools; he went to Guanghai University, while Feng Leyao was admitted to Capital University. With them being so far apart, it was difficult to stay in touch. Moreover, after joining the army, he entered a special forces unit, where discipline made it inconvenient to communicate with the outside world. After being "cleared" from the military and subsequently expelled from university, his situation worsened, making it even less likely for him to contact Feng Leyao.
Looking at Ancient Sorcerer before her, Feng Leyao realized that the innocent little boy from her memories had vanished. In his place stood a man with sharp features and captivating eyes. His tightly pressed lips revealed immense strength and confidence. With a strong physique and tall stature, he stood like an unyielding mountain, akin to a leopard.
"You've become more masculine."
Feng Leyao's face gradually flushed.
"Hmph, that doesn't mean you can ignore me."
Ancient Sorcerer shrugged. "You're right; this is all my fault. Why are you back?"
"Work."
"Work?"
Ancient Sorcerer looked at Feng Leyao in surprise. She had been admitted to the renowned Capital University, majoring in Chinese literature. How could she possibly have "fallen" to working in a small county back home?
"I'm currently working at RM Daily as a reporter. I'm back for some work-related matters."
"Well, that suits your abilities."
Founded over sixty years ago, RM Daily is one of the largest newspapers, primarily serving to disseminate and introduce important national policies and guidelines to the world, its significance is self-evident.
Feng Leyao being able to enter such a Newspaper is enough to prove her abilities.
As for what the matter was, Ancient Sorcerer did not ask further. The reporters from RM Daily are capable of reaching the heavens with their ears; her involvement naturally indicates that it is no small matter. It might even lead to someone losing their head, so it's better not to inquire too much about such things.
"Why are you back again?"
"Someone wants to contract the Mountainous Area behind the village, so I came back to take a look."
As soon as Ancient Sorcerer finished speaking, Feng Leyao immediately exclaimed, "That piece of land has someone interested?"
Feng Leyao had been to Ancient Sorcerer's village before and knew it was a "barren land." Coupled with the poor transportation, how could anyone possibly want to contract that land?
"This matter is related to the Six Ghosts in the county town. The one who truly wants that land is an islander named Ono Ken Saburo."
Feng Leyao frowned slightly; this situation seemed a bit complicated.
"So how do you plan to handle it?"
Putting down his chopsticks, Ancient Sorcerer smiled and said, "I will have Six Ghosts notify Ono Ken Saburo. If he wants that land, he should come find me in the village tomorrow."
"Oh?"
Feng Leyao looked at Ancient Sorcerer in confusion, unsure of what his intentions were.
"I want to expose the true nature of this Ono Ken Saburo in front of the villagers and see what he really wants that land for."
"That... seems impossible, right? How would he admit it?"
Ancient Sorcerer chuckled. If it were before, he indeed wouldn't have had such capability. However, after receiving the inheritance of sorcery, he now has many ways to accomplish this!
"You can come and see tomorrow."
Faced with the invitation from the Ancient Sorcerer, Feng Leyao would never refuse. She immediately agreed.
"I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the village together."
After finishing their late-night snack, the Ancient Sorcerer escorted Feng Leyao to her home.
"Alright, see you tomorrow."
…
Feng Leyao stood by the window, her slightly damp hair adding a touch of allure. The neckline of her pink robe was a bit loose, revealing a patch of fair skin, hinting at a gentle curve beneath.
In the darkness, Feng Leyao let out a soft sigh. After years without contact, she thought she had forgotten the Ancient Sorcerer, but she didn't expect that upon their reunion, her heart would still race, even more so than before.
Looking out the window, Wuan County Town was quiet; only a few scattered lights were visible, while most places were shrouded in darkness.
Feng Leyao recalled those countless afternoons when she and the Ancient Sorcerer would sneak around Muwan City after tiring from studying. They would buy snacks from street vendors or slip into various shops to browse clothes… They felt as free as two little birds.
But now everything had changed; both of them had grown and transformed.
Feng Leyao initially thought that taking a shower would calm her heart, but she found it had no effect at all. All past memories surged back uncontrollably.
First love, regardless of its outcome, is equally unforgettable.
