Chapter 117 Yun Che Arrives

After returning home with Bai and the others, Li Xiaoxiao went to her room. She opened the cabinet and took out a wooden box with a lock on it. People who didn't know would think that it must contain something very valuable.

Li Xiaoxiao took out a key from her body and opened the lock on the wooden box. What caught her eye was a stack of letters, probably more than a dozen of them, each of which was written with the words "Li Xiaoxiao's Dear Guest". Li Xiaoxiao gently stroked these letters. These letters were all sent to her by Yun Che during this period of time. She read each letter carefully, her eyes full of longing for him.

Suddenly, Bai's voice came from outside the window, "Yun Che, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's cold outside!"

Li Xiaoxiao was overjoyed. She didn't expect Yun Che to arrive so soon. She hurriedly put the letter away and carefully placed it back in the cabinet.

Li Xiaoxiao quickly ran out of the room and ran to the yard, where she saw Yun Che and Bai Shi standing there. Yun Che saw Li Xiaoxiao running out and a doting smile appeared on his face. He walked quickly towards Li Xiaoxiao and held her hand tightly.

"Xiaoxiao, I miss you so much." Yun Che said affectionately.

"I miss you too." Li Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly.

The two smiled at each other, their words saying everything. "Alright, Xiaoxiao, let Yun Che and the others in. They must be tired after such a long journey," Bai reminded with a smile.

Li Xiaoxiao brought Yun Che into the house. Bai served them hot tea, and they chatted. Yun Che recounted his experiences on the road, and Li Xiaoxiao and the others listened with great interest.

Suddenly, Yun Che changed the subject and looked at Li Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, I came here this time to discuss something with you. I plan to build a house here. After you get married, we can come back and live here when we have time. What do you think?"

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned. She had never thought Yun Che would have such thoughts. She looked at Yun Che, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that Yun Che made this decision for her.

On the other hand, upon hearing Yun Che's words, Mrs. Bai started to scold him, "Why build a house? You're not staying home with me when you come back, but you need to build another house to live in. That's so inconvenient. Listen to me, there's no need to build a new house. Whenever you want to come back, you can just stay at home. That's so much better."

"Yes, sister, brother-in-law, please live with us when you come back. We want to live with you." Li Linlin on the side also spoke.

“But…” Yun Che wanted to say something else.

"Alright, it's settled." Bai interrupted Yun Che, "Yun Che, you've been traveling for such a long time, you must be very tired. Take a good rest first. We can talk about other things later."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing with her mother. She took Yun Che's hand and said gently, "Just listen to me. We can live together as a family, and it's lively and cheerful, isn't it?"

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao also say so, Yun Che stopped insisting. He smiled and said to Bai Shi, "Then I'll listen to mother."

After Yun Che finished speaking, he ordered Yun Yi to go to the carriage and bring in the gifts he had brought from the capital. Yun Yi responded and went to the courtyard. When he returned, his hands were full of various boxes.

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai started to scold again, "Yun Che, you just come when you want to, why do you always bring so many things? What a waste..." Yun Che was not unhappy after hearing what Mrs. Bai said, but felt warm in his heart. He knew that Mrs. Bai really treated him like her own child, and he could feel the long-lost motherly love from Mrs. Bai.

"Mother, these are gifts I brought from the capital for you. How can I let them go to waste?" Yun Che handed several boxes to Bai Shi. "Mother, these contain some nourishing foods. You must remember to eat them regularly."

Bai reached out to take the gift. Although she said words of reproach, the smile that was about to overflow from the corner of her mouth could not deceive Li Xiaoxiao and the others. Bai was happy in her heart.

Yun Che handed two smaller boxes to Li Linlin, "Linlin, this is the dowry your brother-in-law prepared for you in advance. You must keep it well!"

After hearing Yun Che's words, even Li Xiaoxiao laughed, and Li Linlin felt even more embarrassed. "Brother-in-law, I'm still so young, why should I prepare a dowry..." Li Linlin pouted and accepted the gift.

"Just take it, your brother-in-law gave it to you." Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile, touching Li Linlin's head.

Yun Che pulled out a set of brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone, and handed them to Li Fang, who was standing beside him. Li Fang was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He loved writing and painting, and this set of four treasures was exactly what he had always dreamed of.

“Thank you, brother-in-law!” Li Fang looked at Yun Che gratefully.

"That's good. Study hard. Your sister and brother-in-law will be waiting for you in the capital." Yun Che smiled and patted Li Fang's shoulder.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, Fang'er will study hard." Li Fang clenched his fist and promised.

Seeing that Li Fang was so sensible, Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi felt very comforted.

Yun Che took out a small box from the side and opened it to show Bai Shi and Li Xiaoxiao, "Mom, this is something I'm going to give to Grandma. I don't know if she will like it."

"Don't worry, as long as it's a gift from you, your grandma will definitely be very happy." Bai smiled and praised Yun Che for his thoughtfulness. Li Xiaoxiao also felt Yun Che's respect for his family.

“Yun Che, let me take you to meet your grandma. She hasn’t seen you in a long time.” Li Xiaoxiao said at the right time.

"Xiaoxiao, you guys go ahead. Mom will prepare lunch at home and bring your grandma over to eat together later." After saying that, Bai turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"Mom, we're here to help you." Li Fang and Li Linlin also ran out.

Seeing this, Yun Che ordered Yun Yi to help the Bai family as well, and he took Li Xiaoxiao's hand and walked out of the door, heading towards his uncle Bai Dong's house.

Not long after walking, they arrived at Bai Dong's house. Li Xiaoxiao stood outside the door and shouted, "Grandma, are you home?"

Wang, who was embroidering by the fire in the main room, heard Li Xiaoxiao's voice and quickly put down her work to greet her. "Oh, my dear granddaughter, why are you here again? Come in, come in, it's cold outside." Wang said as she led the two of them inside. "Your uncle and aunt took their two children back to visit relatives, leaving me, an old woman, to look after the house."

Li Xiaoxiao smiled when she heard that. "Grandma, if you feel bored, you can come to us anytime. We are all at home."

After Yun Che also greeted Wang, he handed her the white jade bracelet and said, "Grandma, this is a gift I brought from the capital for you."

Wang smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. "Good boy, you are so thoughtful. Come over here and warm yourself by the fire." As she spoke, she pulled Yun Che towards the stove.

The three of them sat around the fire, chatting about family matters. Yun Che told Wang about his life in the capital, the local customs and practices, and the local people. He also said he would take her to visit the capital when he had the chance. Wang was overjoyed, and the more she saw Yun Che, the more she liked him.

After a while, Yun Yi came over to call them, saying that lunch was ready. So, Yun Che helped Wang Shi and Li Xiaoxiao back to the Li family. The family had a lively lunch together.

After the meal, Li Xiaoxiao helped Bai clean up the dishes, while Yun Che chatted with Wang in the main hall.
