Immersive Travel in Film and Television

The day after agreeing to Xiao Ai, Shen Liang took some time out to rent the yard next door.

Afterwards, he went out of the city to help Xiao Ai move.

Taking advantage of this move to the city, Xiao Ai quit her job as a night-blower, as she really couldn't stand dealing with the daily grind of things.

After quitting that job, she temporarily planned to do some embroidery to earn money to support herself.

The truth is that the money she has left is not enough to live on, so she can only rely on herself to make a living.

The initial accumulation can only rely on embroidering small pieces, and later on you can embroider large items such as screens.

By then, you can maintain a good life by embroidering a finished product every few months.

As long as the embroidery skills are good, there is no problem in selling it. Xiao Ai is still very confident in her embroidery skills.

Before starting to embroider, Xiao Ai made a set of clothes for Shen Liang according to the clothing sizes written down in the diary.

That day, when she was mending Shen Liang's clothes, she found that his cuffs and collar were worn out. So she thought of making a set of clothes for Shen Liang to express her gratitude.

Shen Liang was deeply touched when he received the clothes Xiao Ai made for him. Because of his status, he did not marry.

Therefore, apart from the uniform issued by the government, no one thought of buying him clothes. The only two plain clothes he had were made by his wife.

Shen Liang touched the clothes with fine stitching in his hands, and felt moved. He asked Xiao Ai if she needed his help.

"Xiao Ai, you've moved here for a few days. Is there anything you need my help with? Just let me know. As long as I can help, I will never refuse!"

Seeing Shen Liang asking this, Xiao Ai asked him: "Brother Shen, can I learn some self-defense skills from you? I'm really afraid..."

She pretended to be frightened by what happened that day and her body trembled twice.

Shen Liang thought that she had a psychological trauma after what happened that day, so she wanted to learn some skills to protect herself, so he readily agreed.

"It's a good idea for you. It's just a piece of cake for me. Come to my house and teach you when I'm off duty every day!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Shen. I will definitely study hard!"

Xiao Ai happily agreed. Now that her skills had Shen Liang's endorsement, she finally found a reasonable source.

At first, Shen Liang thought it was too late for Xiao Ai to learn martial arts, so he only planned to teach her some simple sword moves.

However, when he was teaching Xiao Ai, he found that she was very talented and could understand things quickly, so he taught her all his sword skills.

During this period, Shen Liang also discovered that Xiao Ai was not illiterate, but had a good memory, so he simply taught her how to read and swordsmanship at the same time.

Xiao Ai and Shen Liang, who already had this knowledge, made rapid progress in their studies.

Shen Liang couldn't help but look at the clever Xiao Ai with new eyes, and put more effort into her teaching.

Xiao Ai kept Shen Liang's careful teaching in mind, and only wanted to repay him when she had the chance in the future.

When Shen Liang was teaching Xiao Ai calligraphy and sword practice, some physical contact was inevitable in the early stages.

These encounters left many marks in Shen Liang's heart. He had always been wary of outsiders for his own reasons before, and this was the first time he had partially opened his heart to someone.

To him, Xiao Ai is the special one.

During the time they spent together, Shen Liang's attention was gradually attracted to the intelligent and studious Xiao Ai, and he unknowingly developed a liking for her.

When he discovered his inner feelings, he was very conflicted. He was torn between his own emotions and the mission he was carrying.

Xiao Ai had already noticed Shen Liang's psychological changes. She knew without thinking who the person was who kept looking at her with burning eyes after he left.

Of course, Shen Liang didn't break the window paper, so Xiao Ai pretended to know nothing.

After Shen Liang discovered that he had developed feelings for Xiao Ai, in order to think carefully about how to face her in the future, Shen Liang took a mission to go to the countryside and left for a few days.

During these few days, several groups of matchmakers came to propose marriage to Xiao Ai.

At first, Xiao Ai was very confused about how these matchmakers came to her house. Later, she learned from the matchmakers that she could earn dozens of taels of silver by embroidering a screen, and the news was accidentally leaked by the owner of the embroidery studio.

Now Xiao Ai has become a popular candidate for a good daughter-in-law in people's eyes.

No one mentioned her identity as a wolf girl that people avoided as much as possible anymore, and her shortcoming of having both her parents dead turned into an advantage.

This way she doesn't need to support her parents' family after marriage, and the money she earns can basically be used in her own small family. If the family is not divided, Xiao Ai will have to hand over part of the money she earns.

Xiao Ai was fully aware of these people's plans and even sneered at them. She started daydreaming before it even got dark.

Xiao Ai rejected all the matchmakers who came to her house. She was living a good life now, and she didn't want to marry into an unfamiliar family to serve her parents-in-law, do housework, and be a qualified cash cow.

Isn't that Chunchun asking for trouble?

Xiao Ai was annoyed by the nagging of these matchmakers and was carefully considering whether to leave Luzhou City when Mrs. Bao came to her door.

Mrs. Bao also came here to act as a matchmaker for a distant nephew. In order to avoid trouble, Xiao Ai had to say that she already had someone in her heart.

Mrs. Bao's eyes lit up, and she thought carefully about the people who had come into contact with Xiao Ai. She found that only Shen Liang and Xiao Ai were close. They were also neighbors. She thought that it was because they were together every day that they developed feelings for each other.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bao expressed her guess.

"The person in your heart is not Shen Liang, right?"

Xiao Ai lowered her head and did not answer yes or no.

But in Mrs. Bao's eyes, this was tacit consent.

Thinking about how Shen Liang, who had been under her nose for so many years, was still a single man, and the only woman he usually came into contact with was Xiao Ai, Mrs. Bao didn't believe that she had no feelings for Xiao Ai.

Shen Liang never mentioned any other woman in front of her except Xiao Ai.

Ever since Xiao Ai moved in, Shen Liang never asked her to sew clothes for him again. Before, she even told Shen Liang not to be polite with her and to bring him any clothes that needed mending.

What did Shen Liang answer at that time? It seemed that Xiao Ai had repaired all his clothes for him, and not only that, Xiao Ai also made him several new clothes.

The fact that Shen Liang did not reject Xiao Ai's efforts actually showed that Shen Liang was interested in Xiao Ai.

It was a pity that no one advocated for peace, which was why the two of them were delayed for so long.

Mrs. Bao, who wanted to bring them together, went to see Shen Liang after he came back from an outing.

"Shen Liang, I see that you have been alone for so many years. Don't you have any plans to start a family?"

When Shen Liang heard what Mrs. Bao said, he couldn't help but glance at the wall next door. Thinking of Xiao Ai next door, he said no.

"Mrs. Bao, Shen Liang has nothing, why would he want to burden a girl from a good family? There's nothing wrong with living alone."

Mrs. Bao sighed when she heard this, "Alas, what a pity. Since you have no plans to get married, I will go to Xiao Ai and speak well of my distant nephew..."

"Wait, Mrs. Bao, who are you talking about?"

Shen Liang confirmed with some disbelief.
