Xunxun had also chosen England as the destination for the academy's tour. The destination was a place called Candy Town. The town produced sugarcane, so it was famous for making all kinds of candies. While they were taking the academy's chartered plane to England, Xin Qing and Wangwang were also on the private jet. Their destination was a town called Saka, which was only about 200 kilometers away from Candy Town. The workshop for "For You" was located in this town. Xin Qing had found a house online in advance and decided to stay here for two months.
It was past five o 'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the town. Dusk had dyed the cotton fields a golden yellow. Curious, Xin Qing approached the field and studied the cotton. It was said that this was the world's best and softest cotton. Following the map, she found the house on the north side of the town. Xin Qing was very satisfied when she saw the house. It looked just like the picture. It had dark blue furniture, light beige floral bedsheets, curtains, and a sofa. An ancient, natural, and refreshing scent greeted her.
"Welcome to my house!" The owner of the house helped her carry her luggage upstairs. Her name was Yuna, a woman in her fifties. She had fair skin and looked very kind. Obviously, she was also very satisfied with Xin Qing. "Is there anything you don't want to eat? Tell me in advance. "
The owner of the house was responsible for three meals a day and cleaning the house. "I can't eat anything too spicy," Xin Qing said politely. "I'm fine with anything else!"
Yuna smiled and caressed Wangwang's face. "Okay. As for this little guy, don't worry. I'll prepare whole-wheat bread and milk for him. I'll also prepare my ancestral secret broth!"
Xin Qing put Wangwang on the bed and started packing. A few fireflies were floating in the sky above the garden outside. Wangwang was very curious. Xin Qing picked him up. "Let's go eat first, then I'll take you to catch some!"
The town was not very big. The next day, Xin Qing went to find the workshop for "For You". It only took her about 20 minutes to walk from the north to the south. She did not bring Wangwang with her. Yuna had taken the little guy to milk a cow.
Xin Qing was still a little surprised when she found the workshop. It was much bigger than she had imagined, and the wooden workshop looked very grand. There were exquisite patterns everywhere, and the windows were decorated with their own curtains.
Part of the place was open to tourists. Xin Qing was like an ordinary tourist. She followed a few tourists around the place. Then, she was taken to buy all kinds of bedsheets and fabrics made on the spot. Only then did she leave quietly and go deeper.
"Don't you see the sign that says no tourists?" A foreign man suddenly stuck his head out from upstairs and shouted at her.
Xin Qing raised her head and looked into his eyes. A touch of surprise flashed through the man's eyes, and then he ran downstairs. "Oriental?"
"I'm from China!" Xin Qing apologized sheepishly. "I saw the sign. I'm looking for TED!"
The foreign man looked at her for a long time and reached out his hand. "I'm his son. My name is Tiger. I'll take you to find him. You'll get lost if you go alone!"
"Thank you!" Xin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The man seemed very friendly, and she knew that it probably had something to do with her good looks. In Zhang Mi's words, beauty was also a natural resource. Of course, she had to make good use of it!
Xin Qing had done her research on TED. He was an old man in his sixties. When she met him in person, she found that he was tall and muscular, like a western cowboy.
"Beautiful Oriental doll! Why didn't you come to me 30 years earlier? That way, I would have had a chance to pursue you! "Ted gave Xin Qing a playful hug. Xin Qing laughed and said," You're not that old now! You don't look much older than me. "
Ted laughed and invited Xin Qing to sit down. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Well, it's nothing, actually. I just wanted to see what kind of person still insists on doing manual work and can make such wonderful things!"
Xin Qing changed her mind and decided not to mention the collaboration. So, Ted personally showed her around the other parts of the workshop and invited her to attend their cotton harvest ceremony in a few days.
Xin Qing agreed. When she returned, Ted found out that she had been staying at Yuna's place, as if it was some big deal. He even took out a few beautiful towels and gave them to her. When she returned home that night, Xin Qing noticed that many of the decorative patterns in Yuna's house were exactly the same as those in Ted's workshop.
"Auntie Yuna, do you know Ted from 'For You' Workshop?" Xin Qing asked as she curled up on the sofa and sipped cold chocolate milk.
Yuna, who was preparing the stuffing for tomorrow's pie, paused and said, "I've heard of him."
Xin Qing glanced at Wangwang, who was playing with fireflies next to her, and reminded him not to put any into his mouth. "That's right. This town is only so big. You must know him."
Yuna seemed hesitant, but she still said, "You're not here for a vacation, are you?"
"Yes. I want the distribution rights for 'For You.'" Xin Qing did not hide her purpose. When she said this, she happened to look at Yuna. When she saw the change in Yuna's expression, she understood something. Ted and Yuna must know each other, and their relationship was not ordinary.
For the next month, Xin Qing went to the workshop every day. Her relationship with Ted was getting better and better. One day, when she was about to leave, Ted suddenly said, "I know who you are.
"Director Xin, I know who you are, and I know what you're up to. Please go back. I won't work with you."
Xin Qing was not surprised that he knew. She just asked helplessly, "Mr. Ted, can you give me a reason?"
"No reason. Anyway, you don't have to waste your time here." After that, he handed Xin Qing a bag. "Please take these to Yuna for me."
"Okay!" Xin Qing took the bag and glanced at him. Then she turned and left.
When she returned to Yuna's house, Xin Qing handed the bag to her. It was the curtains that she had just finished making. Yuna glanced at it and tossed it to her. "You can have it. I don't want it."
Xin Qing thought about it and decided that Yuna must be the key. If she could figure out the relationship between Yuna and Ted, Ted might help her. Otherwise, he would not have asked her to give the curtains to Yuna. He was obviously telling her that there was something going on between the two of them!
So the next day, Xin Qing did not go to the workshop. Instead, she helped Yuna with her work and chatted with her. A few days later, when she was about to go to bed, she suddenly heard some movement outside the window. She opened the window and saw Tiger waving at her from downstairs.
Xin Qing tucked Wangwang in and quietly ran downstairs.
"Why are you here?"
Tiger smiled. "I'm here to tell you something. Otherwise, you won't get anything out of Yuna."
"That was more than 30 years ago …"
After hearing that, Xin Qing felt that she and Ying Qingcang were not so pitiful. At least they were still young and entangled with each other. On the other hand, Yuna and Ted were already old. They had wasted their whole lives.
Back then, the two of them were a couple. But for some reason, Yuna suddenly disappeared a few days before they were to get married. Ted searched everywhere for her like a madman. In the end, half a year later, Yuna suddenly came back with a big belly.
At the time, Ted almost broke down. He forced Yuna to tell him who the father of the child was, but Yuna refused to tell him. During one of their arguments, Ted accidentally pushed Yuna, causing her to fall down the stairs and lose the child. From then on, the two of them became strangers.
"I was adopted by my father. He never married and has always loved Yuna." Tiger sighed. "If you can make Yuna forgive my father, he will agree to work with you."
Xin Qing felt that it was even more difficult …
Causing a woman to lose her child was a lifelong grudge. No woman would forgive someone like that. But at the same time, Xin Qing was even more curious about why Yuna had left all those years ago.
However, Xin Qing did not expect something even more shocking to happen the next day.
"Mom!" Wangwang ran into the house early in the morning. "There's an uncle outside who looks a lot like me!"
Xin Qing was shocked. She threw down the broom in her hand and ran out. In the end, she saw Ying Qingcang standing at the entrance of the yard, looking at her with calm eyes.
"You … Why are you here?" Xin Qing felt that she had been too stupid after asking that question. Sure enough, she saw a hint of contempt in Ying Qingcang's eyes.
Wangwang was still hugging her leg. "Look, doesn't he look a lot like Wangwang?" he asked.
"Be a good boy, Wangwang. Let's go in first, okay?" Xin Qing coaxed him. "Aunt Yuna is going to feed the lambs soon!"
"I want to go too!" Wangwang turned around and ran into the yard.
Xin Qing walked until she was about five steps away from Ying Qingcang. "I didn't expect you to be able to find this place. Impressive!"
"You can only compete with me if you get the distribution rights for 'For You.' Otherwise, you're bound to lose." Ying Qingcang sneered. "So, it's not hard to guess your whereabouts."
He paused for a moment and then said, "Do you want to hear something worse than seeing me?"
"What is it?" Xin Qing looked at him cautiously.
Ying Qingcang walked up to her and shrouded her in his shadow. "I know the secret between Yuna and Ted. If I solve the problem between them, do you think Ted will cooperate with me out of gratitude?"
"You …" Xin Qing panicked. She believed that Ying Qingcang was telling the truth. He really did know. Xin Qing took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then she raised her head and looked at him. "What do you want?" she asked.
Ying Qingcang suddenly smirked. Then he turned around and walked towards the back of the garden. Xin Qing followed him and shouted, "Stop right there! Don't go!"
Soon, Ying Qingcang passed through the garden and arrived at the back of a small hill. Panting, Xin Qing caught up with him and found that there was a fountain here. There was also a swing that looked quite old.
"Are you chasing me because you want to beg me?" Ying Qingcang stood beside the fountain and looked at the half-filled lake. Xin Qing could see his reflection in the water. It was obvious that he was being sarcastic.
She walked over and stood side by side with him. "Can we talk?"
"Sure!" Ying Qingcang suddenly turned his head and smiled at her. "If … you beg me."
Xin Qing gritted her teeth. "I beg you."
Then she saw Ying Qingcang raise his hand and push her forward.
"Splash!" Xin Qing fell into the fountain. Before she could even open her mouth to scream, a pair of arms wrapped around her.
