It was late at night. Zhang Xiaoxiao stood outside the courtyard, wrapping her coat tighter around herself, then sneezed.
"Zhang Xiaoxiao, you should go back, don't wait any longer," the system advised.
"I can't, I have to wait for Guangcai to come back," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head and said firmly.
"It's so late and he still hasn't returned; he probably won't come back tonight," the system said helplessly.
"That's not true, he said he would come back," Zhang Xiaoxiao insisted, shaking her head.
"How do you know he will come back? What if he's lying to you?" the system replied, speechless.
"He wouldn't lie to me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said confidently.
"Hmph, all men are liars!" the system snorted.
"Guangcai isn't," Zhang Xiaoxiao said lightly.
"Do you really know him?" the system asked.
"I..." Zhang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't know him well, but I believe in him."
"You believe in him? Ha! How long have you known him that you dare to trust him?" the system scoffed.
"Even though I haven't known him for long, I know he is someone worth believing in," Zhang Xiaoxiao said firmly.
"You are truly hopeless," the system shook its head.
"You don't understand," Zhang Xiaoxiao sighed.
"Yes, yes, I don't understand; I don't understand human emotions," the system pouted.
"It's better that way," Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled.
"What do you mean by that?" the system asked in confusion.
"Nothing much," Zhang Xiaoxiao replied with a smile.
"If you're not going to say anything, then forget it," the system huffed.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoxiao responded softly.
Seeing that she had fallen silent, the system also stopped talking and left.
Zhang Xiaoxiao stood alone outside the courtyard, gazing at the pitch-black night sky in a daze.
" Xiaoxiao, what are you doing standing here?" Suddenly, a voice came from the neighboring courtyard.
Zhang Xiaoxiao turned her head towards the sound. In the neighboring yard stood a middle-aged woman wearing a blue coat with short hair; she was slightly plump and had a kind face. This middle-aged woman was Mother Li.
"Auntie, hello," Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly greeted her politely.
" Xiaoxiao, you're still not resting?" Mother Li asked with a smile as she looked at her.
"I haven't yet," Zhang Xiaoxiao shook her head and said.
"Oh, are you waiting for Guangcai?" Mother Li asked with a smile.
"Yes," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded and replied.
"Guangcai is really good to you," Mother Li said with a smile.
"Uh..." Zhang Xiaoxiao was suddenly at a loss for words.
"That boy really likes you," Mother Li said cheerfully.
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaoxiao chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to respond.
Seeing her embarrassment, Mother Li smiled and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Guangcai will be back soon, so you should go inside."
"Okay, goodbye, Auntie," Zhang Xiaoxiao quickly bid her farewell.
"Goodbye," Mother Li waved her hand and said.
Zhang Xiaoxiao turned and walked into the yard, then entered the house.
"Sigh, where is Xiu Mei? Why hasn't she come back yet?" Mother Li frowned as she looked at the empty yard.
"Where on earth has that child gone?" Mother Li murmured to herself.
"I need to go out and look for her," Mother Li said, turning around and leaving the yard.
Zhang Xiaoxiao sat on a stone bench, bored, resting her chin on her hand as she gazed toward the yard's entrance, quietly waiting.
Time passed by slowly.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao stood up from the stone bench and quickly walked to the yard's entrance, opened the door, and stepped outside.
She walked along the path until she was outside the yard, waiting for Zhao Guangcai.
The night breeze gently blew, making her clothes rustle.
She rubbed her nose with her hand and continued to wait.
Finally, she heard the sound of a car engine and then saw a beam of light approaching from a distance.
It was Zhao Guangcai's car.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was filled with joy and waved her hand, shouting, "Guangcai! Guangcai!"
The car slowly stopped in front of her.
The car door opened, and Zhao Guangcai got out of the car.
"Guangcai!" Zhang Xiaoxiao hurried over and hugged him.
" Xiaoxiao, I'm back," Zhao Guangcai gently patted her back and said softly.
"Guangcai, why did you come back so late?" Zhang Xiaoxiao released him, pouting as she complained.
"I'm sorry for coming back late," Zhao Guangcai said apologetically.
"What happened to your face?" Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed the wound on Zhao Guangcai's face and nervously grabbed his arm, asking.
"It's nothing; I got scratched by a fox," Zhao Guangcai replied casually.
"What? A fox scratched you?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"Mm." Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"How did you get scratched by a fox?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked with concern.
"I encountered two little foxes on the mountain. I wanted to catch them, but they ended up scratching me instead," Zhao Guangcai said casually.
"Did they bite you?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked nervously.
"No," Zhao Guangcai shook his head and replied.
"Really? Don't lie to me," Zhang Xiaoxiao said, still worried.
"I'm really fine," Zhao Guangcai said, patting her head affectionately.
"Alright then," Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Okay, let's go home," Zhao Guangcai said with a smile.
"Mm." Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded.
The two of them held hands and returned to the yard together.
"Guangcai, do you want to go to the village doctor to check your wound?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.
"Maybe not," Zhao Guangcai hesitated.
"Still, you should get it checked. What if you catch rabies?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said worriedly.
"Rabies?" Zhao Guangcai was taken aback.
"Yes, foxes can carry the virus too," Zhang Xiaoxiao said seriously.
"I see." Zhao Guangcai nodded.
"So, please go get it checked," Zhang Xiaoxiao urged.
"Alright," Zhao Guangcai nodded in agreement.
"I'll go with you tomorrow morning," Zhang Xiaoxiao said.
"No need, I'll go by myself," Zhao Guangcai quickly waved his hand and replied.
"Okay then," Zhang Xiaoxiao reluctantly conceded.
Seeing her worried expression warmed Zhao Guangcai's heart.
