Ye Fan returned to the residence and rested for a night. The next day, around noon, he went to Shuang'Er's place.

When he arrived, he saw Shuang'Er cleaning the house.

Having not been here for ten days, the place had changed quite a bit.

As he entered the villa area, Ye Fan saw a gigantic ginkgo tree.

It was spring, and the ginkgo leaves were all green, standing over ten meters tall, visible from a distance.

"This is indeed a tree that was transplanted here."

Entering the courtyard, he smelled a fragrance of flowers.

There were many flowers planted in front of the house, in a riot of colors, many of which Ye Fan couldn't name.

Amidst the flowers, he saw Shuang'Er.

Today, Shuang'Er wore a white short-sleeved hoodie, black long pants, a pair of white leather boots usually worn while working, and a pink apron.

Her long, elegant hair was tied into a low ponytail draping down her back. The hoodie was a bit short, revealing a glimmering waist from the side, so slender it seemed it could barely be held in one hand.

She was holding a water hose, watering the flowers, plants, and trees.

Under the sunlight, her little face was rosy. Upon seeing Ye Fan arrive, she immediately beamed with a captivating smile.

"Chen Bufan, you're here!"

Ye Fan nodded, "Yes, it's been ten days, and there's such a big change here."

"Right? I've put a lot of effort into this place, does it look nice?"

"It's beautiful, with a rich natural vibe, life must be very comfortable."

"Hahaha! Exactly, I entrusted the Adventurer Squad to transplant this tree from the mountains. It's thriving well, but it's not at its most beautiful yet. Wait till autumn when the leaves turn golden, it'll be a sight to see."

Shuang'Er pulled Ye Fan over, showing off as if presenting treasures.

"Look at these flowers. Some bloom in summer, some in autumn, and even plum blossoms are yet to arrive. By winter, flowers will bloom in the courtyard, and seeing plum blossoms in the snow will surely be beautiful. I've never seen real heavy snow before. Will you build a snowman with me then?"

"Look at this path, paved with bluestone. The stones were too heavy for the workers to move, so I had to carry those big stones myself. It stunned them, hahaha!"

After a stroll around the courtyard, Shuang'Er guided Ye Fan inside.

The interior had also transformed, with new furniture, sofas, beds, home appliances, and many household items, all arranged beautifully and exquisitely, showing Shuang'Er's meticulous efforts.

"I saved the master bedroom for you, so you can rest here when you're tired. I live in the bedroom with a balcony on the second floor. I like it there."

Shuang'Er gave Ye Fan a tour of the whole house, then volunteered to cook for him.

"You wait here, I'll be back soon."

Ye Fan watched as Shuang'Er pinned her hair up with a hairpin, then took a small bamboo basket and went out.

About half an hour later, she returned with some meat and vegetables in the basket.

"The produce at the market wasn't very fresh today because I went a bit late. Luckily, Auntie Li next door told me there were river fish, and I got the last one. Today I'll steam the river fish for you, so you can taste my cooking."

Ye Fan saw her cheerful and bustling demeanor and felt that she truly had come to love this life.

Ye Fan picked up a tea box from the table, containing freshly picked wild mountain tea. Although it wasn't a prestigious tea, having fresh tea leaves at this time was quite nice.

He brewed himself a pot of tea and turned on the TV.

Currently, there were only two TV channels: Dawn TV Station and Oil City TV Station.

The TV programs mainly aired dramas. The dramas that used to require paid memberships were now all free.

Interestingly, the drama broadcasts even had ad intermissions, sponsored by some enterprises in Dawn City.

"This program is exclusively sponsored by Dongliang Company. Now, Dongliang Lamb Soup is recruiting agents for six branch locations. Join once, and be worry-free for life!"

"Shanluan Group kindly reminds you, with a Shanluan compound bow, even one person can fight zombies."

Ye Fan found it quite amusing, enjoying watching it alone.

After about another hour, Shuang'Er finished cooking.

"Come on, come on! See how my cooking is?"

Ye Fan came to the dining table and saw four dishes.

Steamed river fish, braised beef and lamb ribs, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a fruit can that seemed to not be past its expiration date.

There was also a plate of steamed buns, and Ye Fan noticed that Shuang'Er seemed to have made a lot of buns, way more than the two of them could eat, not knowing why she made so many.

Shuang'Er excitedly pulled out a box, and upon opening it, it was filled with white wine.

"Knowing you can drink, I've prepared this in advance."

Ye Fan nodded, "Great, let's taste Shuang'Er's cooking today, and drink to our fill."

Shuang'Er opened a bottle, poured for both herself and Ye Fan, and initiated a toast with him.

"Chen Bufan, I've never been so grateful to anyone before, but these days have been the happiest of my life. First and foremost, I thank you."

Ye Fan clinked glasses with Shuang'Er and drank it all in one go.

Ye Fan thought that since Shuang'Er first thanked him, there should be more to come, but there wasn't. After finishing the drink, Shuang'Er invited Ye Fan to start eating.

Ye Fan took a few bites, feeling that the best thing was the fruit can.
