It happened that she had promised Ruan Yi not to control or interfere with Xu Siyan before, but Xu Siyan now paid even less attention to this marriage.
Xu Moyan asked more directly: "Si Yan still hasn't come home recently?"
Ruan Yi subconsciously wanted to cover for Xu Siyan, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Xu Moyan: "I know best what he looks like. Don't tell him any lies."
Ruan Yi couldn't say anything at this time: "It's not his fault. It's fine now. My parents are so good to me, and I'm very content."
Wan Liu: "We treat you well, that is the relationship between elders and juniors, which is different from the relationship between husband and wife."
Ruan Yi: "Yes, I understand, and I will work hard."
Xu Moyan: "How can you do this kind of thing alone if you work hard alone? Si Yan is just a stone in a pit. If we just ignore him, he will forget that he is married."
Wan Liu agreed: "That's right, Yiyi, we can't let him go like this. I'll have a good chat with him tonight."
"Mom, I'll do it myself -" Ruan Yi heard that Wan Liu was going to talk to Xu Siyan and quickly stopped her, "I'll talk to him later, and I'll just celebrate his birthday with him."
Wan Liu looked at Ruan Yi angrily, "You just have such a good temper, you can't let him go this time."
Ruan Yi: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ruan Yi could finally breathe a sigh of relief after temporarily quelling the dissatisfaction of Wan Liu and Xu Moyan.
The relationship between her and Xu Siyan has become so bad. If Wan Liu and Xu Moyan accuse Xu Siyan of her again at this time, Xu Siyan will be even more disgusted with her——
Although Ruan Yi never thought about making Xu Siyan fall in love with her, at least she couldn't be disgusted by him any more.
Otherwise, she didn't know how she could sustain herself.
Afraid that Wan Liu and Xu Moyan would talk about this topic again, Ruan Yi took the initiative to divert their attention: "By the way, what does Si Yan usually like? I want to give him a gift. My parents can help me come up with ideas."
The topic was successfully changed. For the next time, Wan Liu and Xu Moyan were chatting with Ruan Yi about Xu Siyan's hobbies.
During this period, many things about Xu Siyan's childhood were also mentioned.
Wan Liu said that Xu Siyan had been interested in various butterfly specimens since she was a child, and even took her to the collection room upstairs to see them.
Ruan Yi remembered that when he was in high school, he seemed to have heard about Xu Siyan and people from the biology club going to the mountains to catch butterflies.
"But now that he's busy with work, it's good to go there once or twice a year." Speaking of this, Wan Liu couldn't help feeling a little emotional, "When people grow up, they can't help themselves."
Ruan Yi listened to Wan Liu's words very carefully and asked curiously: "Where does he usually go to catch butterflies?"
Wan Liu: "Qingyan Mountain, or over there in the eastern suburbs."
Ruan Yi nodded thoughtfully.
That night, after returning to Qingjiang Garden from the Xu family, Ruan Yi began to collect information on Qingyan Mountain.
This search actually found a lot of people sharing their tips on catching butterflies there——
Ruan Yi began to take notes seriously and recorded all the tools and equipment needed one by one.
Xu Siyan had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child. Ruan Yi thought about it and felt that he had nothing to give as a gift. Xu Siyan probably wouldn't care about the things she could afford with her small salary.
Instead of racking your brain over this, give him something that interests him—at least, he'll remember the gift.
In the next two or three days, Ruan Yi was preparing to go to Qingyan Mountain to catch butterflies.
Fortunately, the weather has not turned cold yet in October, so there is still great hope for catching butterflies during this season.
Ruan Yi had no experience. Fortunately, he found the group on the forum in advance. The large group happened to be going there on the 10th, so Ruan Yi immediately paid the money to join.
——
When you go to the mountains to catch butterflies, you rarely succeed in one day. Basically, you have to go there a day in advance and camp there for one night.
After class on Friday, Ruan Yi went to the bus connection point to meet with the troops.
When the bus arrived at Qingyan Mountain, the sky had darkened, and Ruan Yi set up a tent with the rest of the army.
This was Ruan Yi's first time spending the night in the mountains, and he was surrounded by a group of strangers he met online.
Dinner was very simple, consisting of instant noodles, self-heating pots and other instant products.
While Ruan Yi was sitting on a stool waiting for instant noodles, someone suddenly handed her a box of biscuits.
Ruan Yi came to his senses and looked up. Opposite him was a man wearing a jacket, who looked to be in his early twenties.
Ruan Yi had some impression of him and had said a few words on the bus before.
"This is?"
"It's for you, try it." He was very familiar with it. After putting down the biscuits, he sat down next to her with instant noodles.
Ruan Yi: "Thank you."
"My name is Jiang Wan, just call me by my name." He introduced himself.
Ruan Yi: "Which king?"
Jiang Wang: "Arrogant Wang."
Ruan Yi: "..."
She looked up again. He raised his chin in an arrogant and proud manner, and he really deserved this name.
But Ruan Yi is not disgusted with Jiang Wang.
Maybe it's because she has been too repressed since she was a child and has never tried to express her emotions, so she envies Jiang Wan's unbridled temperament.
When Ruan Yi was distracted, Jiang Wan nuzzled at her: "Isn't it time for your instant noodles?"
Ruan Yi reacted suddenly and quickly opened the instant noodles and took a look.
Fortunately, there is no lump.
After a long journey, Ruan Yi was also hungry, so he picked up a fork and started eating noodles.
Jiang Wan: "I heard them say, is this your first time here?"
Ruan Yi: "Well, what about you?"
Jiang Wan: "I'm not a novice, but it's my first time to Qingyan Mountain."
Ruan Yi: "Then where do you usually go?"
Jiang Wan: "I'm from Nancheng and I haven't been to Beicheng a few times."
Ruan Yi: "That's right."
Jiang Wan stared at Ruan Yi's face for a while, then smiled narrowly, "But now I think Beicheng is quite interesting. I can come here more often."
Ruan Yi: "Yes, many historical buildings in Beicheng are worth visiting. You can come here often if you have time."
Jiang Wan: "..."
Was it because he wasn't obvious enough?
As long as you are a normal person, you can probably hear what he meant by what he said, right?
Ruan Yi: "Can I ask you something?"
Jiang Wan: "What do you want me to ask you?"
Ruan Yi: "If I want to catch twenty-seven butterflies, isn't it a bit unrealistic?"
Jiang Wan: "Why did you catch so many?"
Ruan Yi: "Giving it to someone, he is twenty-seven years old."
Jiang Wan put down the fork in his hand and looked at her with interest, "Who are you giving it to? It's so ceremonial... It can't be the person you have a crush on, right?"
"No." Ruan Yi denied subconsciously, "A friend."
Jiang Wan: "It's really unrealistic for you as a newbie, but I can help you."
Ruan Yi: "Sorry to trouble you, I'll pay you."
Jiang Wan: "The reward is waived. You can be my tour guide for two days."
Ruan Yi: "Okay."
After getting Jiang Wan's promise, Ruan Yi felt relieved a lot.
During the chat, she learned that Jiang Wan had been going into the mountains since he was in junior high school, and she felt like she had found someone who could tell the truth.
At least she could be sure she wouldn't leave empty-handed.
During the meal, Ruan Yi and Jiang Wang exchanged WeChat messages, and then went back to rest.
