"Alright, there are coffee beans on the cabinet, and a roasting machine." Fang Xin said busily as he put in fragrant rice and started cooking. This took very little time, just ten minutes to cook.

  Wu Dandan stepped forward, unwrapping the packaging of the coffee beans. This brand had never appeared at home before. At home, they always used instant coffee powder packets. When her parents were busy with work, they would often drink it after dissolving it in hot water.

  Although there is relief food for those who don't work, in order to make life better for this family and for Wu Dandan's future, they have to work hard, she has always known that.

  The split coffee beans had a deep brown color, which was the most ideal color. Wu Jiayu looked at the manual and adjusted the machine to the automatic deep roasting and grinding position. After hearing a light hum, the machine started operating.

  Deep roasting requires more time, but can make the natural volatile oil burst out, emitting a refreshing fragrance. Through the transparent lid, you can see the coffee beans bursting open, swelling to twice their original size, and then finely ground into powder.

  "Whoosh!" The machine automatically injects hot water, generates pressure to cook, and the high pressure will fully emulsify the fat in the coffee and dissolve it into the water.

  While doing this, Fang Xin also accomplished many things. First, he opened the packaging bag, inside which was a roasted chicken. He put it in the microwave for a spin and immediately, the aroma wafted up to his nose. This was indeed a high-quality product from natural farming.

  Open another package of vegetables, which have been washed and divided, just waiting to be cooked. Fang Xin actually didn't have high expectations in this aspect, so he just stir-fried one, satisfying his requirement for vegetarian food.

  Open another package of soup base and add water according to the amount, that's it.

  Having lunch, went up to the balcony on the second floor, set a small table, Wu Dandan brought up these two dishes, one soup, one rice and one coffee.

  The rice is fragrant, the coffee is not bad, and it feels like drinking velvet. The aroma lingers in the mouth, and the dishes are passable.

  "Is it delicious?"

  "Delicious!" Wu Dandan said seriously.

  "Then eat more, it's very cold outside, and when it cools down, it won't taste good." Fang Xin said, sitting there leisurely.

  The second floor balcony, built with white carved round pillars, looks down from above, and below is the garden. Although most of the flowers in the garden are now withered, a few plum blossoms are blooming beautifully, and they were designed just right. When the trees and flowers wither, these few plum blossoms dot the scenery, not far or near, not sparse or dense.

  Further away, there are fake mountains and lakes, of course, as well as walkways and other villas.

  Although Wu Dandan was only twelve years old, she liked the atmosphere of having meals on the balcony in the sunlight. The noon sun shone on her face, with fragmented lights and a smile together.

  "Have you finished eating? Do you want to eat a bit more?" Fang Xin had finished his meal and was sipping his coffee, asking as he looked at Wu Dandan's small face in the sunlight, already showing signs of beauty despite being only twelve years old.

  Little lily just reveals its pointed corner!

  Fang Xin's expression was faint, and when she shook her head, he casually asked: "Wu Dandan, didn't you graduate from the basic subjects this year? Which school are you going to?"

  "Mom has already chosen Huamei Private Middle School." Wu Dandan replied.

  "How beautiful! Isn't that a girls' middle school? Why, Wu Dandan will grow up soon and can have a boyfriend, but if she goes to an all-girls school, won't she miss this opportunity?" Fang Xin said.

  Wu Dandan was amused by this and said, "Mom hopes I focus on studying, finish primary school and junior high school as soon as possible, then go to senior high school and work hard to be a top student."

  Foundational subjects are primary school, first and second stages refer to junior and senior high schools, while third stage refers to specialized subjects in college.

  "I have to tell your mom, Wu Dandan, you've worked hard enough, now it's time to have some fun and enjoy your youth. It's a pity to waste these golden years like this!" These words are the right way of the world, trying hard to skip classes is the law of the earth.

  Wu Dandan smiled but didn't answer.

  "I knew it, what else did Wu Dandan learn?"

  "This is just a casual matter, but Wu Dandan thought about it seriously and replied: 'I still have to learn fortune-telling and spiritual awareness from Aunt Zhang this afternoon.'"

  Fang Xin was shocked and almost spat out half of his coffee: "Zhang Ayi? Ah, yes, Zhang Meili, the medium? Can this aspect be trained too?"

  "Yes, Aunt Zhang said I have great potential." Wu Dandan replied seriously.

  Fang Xin swallowed a mouthful of water, then smiled and said: "Although society is good now, there are the rich and the poor, the lucky and the unlucky. There are also many people who like to take risks in investment and gambling, so they all like fortune tellers."

  Wu Dandan nodded.

  "But to make a name for oneself here, it's not easy!" Fang Xin said with a wry smile. This had nothing to do with his affairs, being a spiritual medium was also a pretty good profession, with some lucrative prospects, earning more than many company employees, although it was unlikely to bring great wealth and glory.

  After finishing her coffee, Wu Dandan reluctantly left the neighborhood. Fang Xin reminded her: "You have my access card, whenever you want to come, just let yourself in, it doesn't matter if I'm not home, we're good friends, come on, shake hands!"

  Wu Dandan smiled and nodded, shook hands seriously, and was sent out the door. After walking a few steps, she turned her head back to look at the white pillars on the balcony above, which remained vividly in her memory.

  In Wu Dandan's heart, Fang Xin was more than just a good friend.

  Fang Xin watched her leave, the villa was always quiet, and the higher-end ones were no exception. As he passed through the bookshelf, he saw his own bookshelf again, and suddenly decided to find some books to put on it as well. This could be a decoration, and when there's free time, he could also read them. A table, a chair, a book, and a cup of tea - many people's lifelong dreams on earth!

  As I walked onto the balcony, not far away, I saw my neighbor tidying up their yard, working very hard, perhaps preparing for spring. After all, creating a beautiful garden is something that many people enjoy.

  At this time, that person happened to turn his head and saw Fang Xin, also waving his hand. Fang Xin smiled and came back to his senses, retreating back into the room.

  The outside is sunny, and the inside is much darker.

  Fang Xing closed the door, sat down in a chair, and the entire hall suddenly became much quieter. Now the environment is elegant, the space is large, and even if there are often a lot of students studying here, it won't feel noisy.

  When a man becomes rich, his virtues grow; when he becomes poor, his vices increase. Although this is not true of every individual, it has the potential to be so.

  "Hey, Ah Bing." Fang Xin took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

  "Axin, how did you think of calling me?" There was some surprise in the phone call.

  "Back for a few days now, so I'm getting ready to make a call. Hmm, don't know if the materials I asked for last time are ready yet?"

  "You're that kind of person, indeed only looking for me when you need something, can't even find time to chat with me otherwise? Alright, everything will be done as per your wishes, here's the document, just take good care of it."

  "Alright, I understand, thank you!" Fang Xin said.

  "No need to thank me, let's just chat more. I feel like you've been away for a few years and have become somewhat of a stranger. It's better if we spend more time together, don't you think?"

  Fang Xin remained silent, and then chatted with her for a bit longer. After half an hour, he hung up, took off his clothes, and entered the nutrient warehouse. Today's ten matches were something Fang Xin had been looking forward to for a long time. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, he would go to Jing She to practice swordsmanship again; he still hadn't finished learning the Yue Men Sword Technique.

  A familiar scene emerges, music echoes in my ears, a vast expanse of light rain like the ocean's source, rushes towards me head-on. In the blink of an eye, it transforms into a dark world, where the sky is invisible above and the ground is invisible below, with dense blackness all around.

  Stars like the sea, floating on top of my head, as big as a dipper, dazzling. Then quickly downwards, passing through a cloud shadow, below the forest land, and in the blink of an eye, clusters of flowers and trees appear before my eyes.

  Falling to the ground, Fang Xin grasped the hilt of his sword and softly said: "Begin!"
