In the Hu family.

“Zhi’er, you haven’t sleep yet, what are you doing here?” Hu Changlin woke up. He wanted to go to the restroom, but he saw lights in the kitchen.

Bai Zhi was rolling the dough into long strips. Then, she cut it into small pieces with a knife.

She raised her hand and wiped her sweat. She smiled and said: “Meng Nan and Jin Shiwei will leave. I want to give them some foods to eat on the road.”

Hu Changlin said: “Do you need help? I will make a fire for you.”

Bai Zhi waved her hand: “No need, I can do it alone. You can go back to sleep, I’m almost done.”

Hu Changlin didn’t insist, he nodded his head and turned around to go back inside the house.

Hu Feng, who was meditating in his room, slowly opened his eyes. After hearing the door next to his room closed, he opened his door.

The air in the house was filled with the aromatic scent. The night was deep and the moon is high, but the backyard was still brightly lit.

“Your cooking so many, can they finish it all?”

Hu Feng’s voice sounded abruptly, which scared Bai Zhi and almost cut her finger.

Bai Zhi put down the knife. She turned around and looked at Hu Feng, who was standing at the door. She said: “You, do you need to scare people in the middle of the night?” Why is this guy walking without a sound? Does he need to walk so lightly?

Hu Feng leisurely walked inside the kitchen and sat on the stool. He looked at the fire stove and throw two dry wood.

“You know that it’s already in the middle of the night? It’s just breakfast for two people. Do you really need to cook these many?” Hu Feng’s eyes swept towards the three-layer steamer, which was half full.

Bai Zhi replied: “Meng Nan is a noble son from the capital. Today he will return to capital. Aside from the people in the government, I’m sure his family will also send people to pick him up. It’s better to cook more than less.”

Bai Zhi continued to work, her eyes were focused on the dough in her hands, but her mouth didn’t stay idle: “Hu Feng, one day, you will recover your memory, you will change, you will become a rich man like Meng Nan. Do you think you will feel embarrassed about living like this?”

Hu Feng didn’t look at Bai Zhi, his eyes were staring at the flames flickering in the stone stove: “Why do you think I am a rich man? Maybe, I am just an ordinary person.”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “You can’t be an ordinary person.”

Hu Feng raised an eyebrow: “Oh? Why are you so sure?”

Bai Zhi stopped her movements, she put down the kitchen knife and pointed her finger to her head: “Intuition, my intuition is telling that you are an unusual person. You are not from Huangtou Village. You will leave here sooner or later.”

Hu Feng looked up and looked at Bai Zhi’s serious eyes. Her eyes were so beautiful, like the brightest star in the night sky. When he was helpless, she always gave him a glimmering light of hope.

“What about you? Are you from Huangtou Village?”

Bai Zhi’s hand that was cutting the dough stopped. Her eyes were covered with confusion about her unknown future. Her life seems to be getting better and better, but she knows this calm life will not last long.

Whether it is in this unknown world or another world she was familiar with. There was no tranquil and long-lasting peaceful life.

But, what about it? That’s life, isn’t it?

After losing herself for a moment, Bai Zhi smiled and looked at Hu Feng: “Of course, at the moment, you and I belong to Huangtou Village. As for the future, let’s leave it in the future. No one knows what will happen in the future.”
