Traveling Through the Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Starting from Meeting You

Although Zhang Hanyan had told the village chief and Fatty in advance that Yuncai was not dead, they had not seen him with their own eyes and still found it hard to believe.

Now, Yuncai appeared vividly before their eyes. She was as innocent and smiling as ever.

"Dad? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

As Yuncai spoke, she raised her hand and touched her face, but she didn't touch anything after several attempts.

The village chief quickly lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes. When he looked up again, there was only joy on his face, and his heart was already filled with joy.

"No, there's nothing dirty. Dad just hasn't seen you for a long time, and I'm a little confused for a moment."

Yuncai raised the bag in his hand and handed it to the village chief with a smile on his face.

"I bought all of these, including the cakes and pastries you like, and some special snacks for Sister Hanyan and the others to try.

Dad, eat some cakes first, I'll go cook now and the food will be ready soon."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left. The fat man looked at her departing back and took a step without hesitation, following her closely.

"Fat brother, will you help me too?"

Yuncai looked at the fat man. From the time Yuncai entered the room until now, the fat man had a dazed look on his face, which looked inexplicably funny.

"Yes! I'll help you..."

He picked up the bowl on the shelf, walked to the rice jar to scoop rice, and then walked to the sink to wash the rice.

While stirring the rice in the bowl with his hands, he occasionally looked at Yuncai who was cutting vegetables beside him.

The pigtails hanging on both sides make her look playful and cute. The hair hanging down beside her ears is as fine as silk, and exudes a faint fragrance.

"The clouds..."

The fat man lowered his head and continued washing rice in his hands. The sound was as small as a mosquito. If the kitchen wasn't so quiet, even Yuncai might not have been able to hear it.

"What's wrong, Fatty?"

Yuncai stopped cutting vegetables and turned to look at him.

"If...if I said, I said I like you...what would you think?"

After the fat man finished speaking, he didn't dare look up at Yuncai's eyes at all. He was afraid that he would see Yuncai's disdain and disgust towards him.

This sudden confession made Yuncai stunned on the spot. Thousands of words surged in her heart, but she couldn't find a single word to express her feelings.

Her long silence slowly made the only hope in the fat man's heart sink.

He smiled at himself, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if all the snake bile in the world was churning in his stomach.

He clenched his hands tightly, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, raised his head and looked at the clouds, pretending to smile indifferently.

"It's okay... I just said that, just pretend you didn't hear it, don't take it to heart, really..."

Yuncai looked at him steadily, tilted her head, and smiled an extremely bright smile.

"But, Fatty Brother, I've already taken it to heart, what should I do?"

"That doesn't matter. You will forget it slowly... There is nothing in this world that cannot be forgotten. It's just a matter of time."

Yuncai took two steps forward, slowly approaching the fat man, and stopped one step away from him under his puzzled gaze.

"But I think... I may never forget it. After all... I think you are a very good person, and I just started to have a little bit of feelings for you...

Fat brother, tell me, do you really want me to forget it? If you want, then I can also..."

"In no mood!"

The fat man clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms. The pain seemed to wake him up, making him recall over and over again what Yuncai had just said.

She said that she liked me a little bit?

It doesn’t matter, it’s just a little bit and it doesn’t matter. As long as I work harder, there will definitely be more in the future, definitely!

He leaned forward slightly, looked into her watery eyes, and suddenly smiled, a smile as warm as the sunshine.

"Yuncai, don't forget what I just said, and... I will definitely work hard to make you like me even more."

His voice was low and gentle, softly expressing his innermost thoughts. Perhaps his eyes were too sincere, causing Yuncai's cheeks to turn red.

She hurriedly took a few steps back, picked up the kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables, trying hard to ignore the heat in her body.

The corners of the fat man's mouth slowly rose, he turned his head with a smile, and by the window, three familiar faces suddenly came into his sight.

Zhang Qiling was leaning against the window, while Zhang Hanyan and Wu Xie were squatting under the window, with only their heads showing.

The three of them all looked at him, not knowing when they had arrived.

When the fat man thought of what he had just said, even though he was usually thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush.

"When did you guys come?"

He stretched out his hand, pointed tremblingly at the people near the window, and yelled.

Zhang Hanyan and Wu Xie stood up, holding on to the window frame, both looking at him with smiles on their faces.

"I haven't been here for long. I just came here when you said, 'If I say I like you, what would you think?' Right, Hanyan?"

"Yeah, it just happened to coincide with your confession. It really hasn't been that long, right little brother?"

"Well... not long..."

The fat man's eyes moved between the three of them. It was okay for Zhang Hanyan and Wu Xie, but he didn't expect that even Zhang Qiling would start teasing him.

When Yuncai heard this, her face instantly turned red with shame. She stopped cooking and turned around and ran out.

"Hey! Clouds!"

After Yuncai's figure disappeared from the fat man's sight, he turned around and looked at the three people by the window, focusing on Zhang Qiling.

"Okay, little brother. I really didn't realize before that you are also a black sesame-filled glutinous rice dumpling!"

Zhang Qiling looked at the roaring fat man with a faint gaze, his eyes half smiling, revealing an imperceptible sense of gloating.

"Well, how about it?"

"You! You are simply pissing me off to death! Humph! Just wait and see how I, Fatty, will deal with you!"

The fat man searched for a while and found a rolling pin. He weighed it in his hand for a few times, then rushed out of the kitchen and ran towards them.

"Run, little bro!"

Zhang Hanyan grabbed Zhang Qiling's hand and ran. Wu Xie reacted quickly as well. Before Fatty rushed to them, the three of them disappeared from Fatty's sight.

"Humph, you guys are so fast! How dare you laugh at me? I won't cook your meals, I'll just starve you!"

The fat man looked in the direction they disappeared, took the rolling pin that was not used, walked into the kitchen with a smile, and started preparing dinner for the whole family.
