Chapter 105: The Carnival Begin

Two days before the carnival began, Ma Yu Xi's brother, Ma Wei returned to D Town to help out with the preparation.

In the past few days, Su Ruan has been busy helping everyone around to set up their orchard's booth. It was the first time that Su Ruan had joined such activities and she was excited about it.

On the day of the carnival, the members of the Ma family woke up early in the morning to prepare their booth. Su Ruan took Ma Yu Xi's pickup truck and the two headed to the town center with boxes of their orchard cherries.

When they arrived at the center, the atmosphere around them was very lively as there were a lot of people coming to set up their booth.

As Ma Yu Xi parked her pickup truck at the side, her brother, Ma Wei came over with a little trolley to carry the boxes. He peeked into the trunk and raised a brow at his sister. "Is this all?"

Ma Yu Xi nodded. "This is all that left. I think it would be enough."

Ma Wei nodded. He transferred the boxes onto the trolley and pushed them over to their booth. As the three cousins walked along the street, there were a few of the townspeople stopping by to greet them.

Previously, they have heard that Old Man Ma's granddaughter was visiting the town. Now that they finally get the chance to see her face to face, the townspeople could not help but to shoot a few glances at her.

"Sister Ruan, I think you are quite popular today," Ma Yu Xi said as she poked Su Ruan on her waist.

Su Ruan chuckled. "What popular? They were only curious because most of them have never seen me before."

Ma Wei glanced at Su Ruan and spoke, "Su Ruan, I think it would be better if you stand at the counter today. If anyone tries to chat up with you, you can ask them to buy our products."

Su Ruan laughed upon hearing her cousin's words. "Cousin brother, are you trying to take advantage of me?"

"Why not?" Ma Wei shrugged. "Perhaps, with you around, we might be able to sell everything we bring along."

Ma Yu Xi rolled her eyes. "Brother, just admit it... You are only lazy to carry those boxes back to the orchard."

Su Ruan watched as the siblings exchanged their banter and laughed.

The smell of baked goods wafted in the air as they reached the bakery's booth. Su Ruan glanced at Ma Yu Xi and smiled when the girl had suddenly turned silent.

From the corner of her eyes, Su Ruan could see how Ma Yu Xi was glancing at her crush, Sun Cheng.

Ma Yu Xi was usually very talkative but in front of the person she liked, the girl suddenly turned very quiet. Su Ruan could not help but think that this side of Ma Yu Xi was very cute as well.

"Cousin brother, are you hungry?" Su Ruan asked. "I'm going to buy some bread. Would you like one?"

Ma Wei glanced at the bakery's booth and nodded. "Sure. Just grab anything for me. I'm not picky."

Su Ruan grabbed Ma Yu Xi's arms and the smile on her face widened. "Then, you go ahead first. We'll come over soon."

"Sister Ruan, what are you trying to do?" Ma Yu Xi looked at her with her eyes wide. She could guess what Su Ruan was planning to do and it was making her anxious.

"I'm only going to buy some bread, why are you so anxious?" Su Ruan shot her an innocent look. Before Ma Yu Xi could escape, Su Ruan had already dragged her over to the booth.

Coincidentally, Sun Cheng was arranging the bread from the cafe on the table. He looked up and was surprised to see the familiar faces in front of him. Sun Cheng quickly recovered and flashed a smile at Ma Yu Xi. "Good morning."

"Good morning," Ma Yu Xi held Su Ruan's hand tighter as she tried to calm down. "Brother Sun Cheng, I thought you were supposed to be in the bakery today?"

"I only dropped by to deliver some fresh goods. Afterward, I still have to return to the bakery and continue to work on the dough," Sun Cheng said. "Would you like some bread? We are selling them at a slightly cheaper price today."

Ma Yu Xi poked at Su Ruan's waist. "Sister Ruan, quickly pick which one you like."

"I haven't seen you up in the mountain for a while," Sun Cheng said. "You're not going up the mountain anymore?"

"Mmm... After the discovery of that giant snake, I think it's better to stop going up the mountain for a while."

"It seemed that people had stopped climbing up the mountain after that. But I think it's very safe up there."

At the side, Su Ruan watched as the two chatted while choosing the bread slowly. Seeing that Ma Yu Xi was shooting her a look, Su Ruan finally handed her tray to the cashier.

After paying for the bread, the cousin left the booth.

"Why are you so shy? Last time we were on the mountain, I did not see you this shy." Su Ruan poked at cousin's arm.

Ma Yu Xi heaved a sigh. "Sister Ruan, I was not prepared to meet him today. I needed at least a few minutes to prepare myself mentally before I can face the person I like."

Su Ruan shook her head. She could not understand what was going on in Ma Yu Xi's mind.

"Sister Ruan, you laughed at me now. Later, when Young Master Long came to find you at the booth, let's see how you will react," Ma Yu Xi whispered.

Hearing her reminder, Su Ruan began to panic. She had agreed that she was going to meet up with Long Fei at the festival, but now, Su Ruan was worried about this meeting.

Long Fei was considered a big celebrity in this town. If people saw them together, they would definitely talk about it.

At this time, other than Ma Yu Xi, no one knew that she was close to Long Fei.. Su Ruan did not know how she should explain her relationship with the man to her family.
