“Did the doctor truly say that?” Ye Hao looked at her suspiciously. He thought that she sounded like she was making the whole thing up.
“Yes,” He Xiyan said with absolute certainty.
“What are roads in your village like?” The high-speed rail didn’t reach the village, so she would have to stop at Sha City. The most crucial part of the journey was the remaining 100 kilometers to her village. If the roads were bumpy, he wouldn’t give in no matter what she did.
“The roads are flat asphalt roads and are much better than the roads we have here at Ye City.”
“Hubby, let’s go together, shall we? Don’t you want to see the place I grew up in?”
Then, she cupped his face in her hands and kissed him deeply and passionately while he was distracted.
She didn’t give him a chance to reject her again.

They woke up early on the 3rd of April, which was the designated holiday. It finally didn’t rain heavily during this year’s Tomb-Sweeping Day and the weather was also very nice at He Xiyan’s hometown with clear skies across the horizons. It was a good day for tomb-sweeping.
They took the 8:30 AM high-speed rail train in the morning and sat in the first class business cabin. It was extremely comfortable and it wasn’t bumpy at all. Most importantly, they were the only two people in their cabin.
He Xiyan leaned into Ye Hao’s embrace throughout the whole journey as they chatted idly.
They talked about their childhood incidents, their dreams when they were young, and their plans and hopes for the future.
He Xiyan had never felt so contented and happy as she did today. Throughout the years, she had always traveled on the high-speed rail back to her hometown alone during each Tomb-sweeping Day. She would then go to her parents’ graves alone to pay respects, and cry and laugh there alone.
Although her parents were long deceased, she felt as though they still lived in her heart. She thought if there was a heaven, her parents would be very comforted and happy to know that she was doing well.
The train was moving from north to south and would pass by several provinces along the way. It moved from provinces with open plains to rolling hills to mountain ranges. The south wasn’t as cold as the northern part of the country and it was already warmer than 15 degrees here. Thanks to the clear skies, the weather was just perfect.
It was already dusk by the time they arrived at Liuyang, which was a small city. They had a meal outside, then headed toward her hometown.
It was only a small house that was less than 100 square meters and was built 13 years ago. It was a little worn and old but He Xiyan had neither sold nor rented this place out. She could drop the aunty who manned the shop downstairs a call every month to ask her to help clean the place. She even asked that aunty to wash the bedsheets and blankets in the closet.
She hadn’t been back in more than a year but the place was still very clean and could be occupied at any time.
“We’ll stay at my place tonight. It might not be as good as the places you’re used to but I hope you wouldn’t mind,” He Xyan asked Ye Hao after they disembarked.
She knew that he was used to eating and living well and was worried that he would find it uncomfortable here.
However, each time she came back, she would stay at her old home and not check-in at a hotel because it was only when she returned home that she felt as though she wasn’t an orphan, and that had once been a happy little girl.
Ye Hao smiled and said, “It’s okay.” He was curious to know how she lived back then as well.
Aunty Li from the shop quickly stopped whatever she was doing and walked over to greet them when she saw that He Xiyan had returned.
Aunty Li held her hand and said excitedly, “Child, you’re finally home.”
He Xiyan smiled happily as she asked, “Aunty, how have you been?”
