Chapter 37: Welcome To D Town

After the festivity period ended, Su Ruan packed her bag and headed to D Town. Her flight landed on time and Su Ruan walked to the arrival hall only to find a petit girl, holding a placard with her name written on it.

The girl was dressed yellow dress and blue cropped jacket matched with black sneakers. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, giving her a little height.

The moment their gazes met, the girl's eyes lit up. She walked over to Su Ruan with a smile and spoke, "Cousin Su Ruan?"

Su Ruan gave the girl a look over and nodded.

"It's me. Ma Yu Xi." She tilted her head to one side and smiled brightly. "Don't you remember me?"

Her eyes narrowed. Su Ruan looked at the girl's smile again and realized that she seemed a little familiar. "It's you? God! You've grown up and taller! Back then, you were only as high as my arms. Now you're at my ears."

"Sister Ruan, it has been five years since the last time we saw each other. Of course, I grew taller." Ma Yu Xi giggled happily.

The two of them were three years apart and Ma Yu Xi would always address Su Ruan as Sister Ruan. They rarely saw each other but whenever they met, Ma Yu Xi liked to stay close to Su Ruan.

"I'm glad that you still remember me," Ma Yu Xi said.

Su Ruan looked around and her gaze went back to Ma Yu Xi. "Did you come here alone?"

"Uh-huh." Ma Yu Xi nodded. "Grandpa send me over to pick you up. Initially, it was my dad who was supposed to come. However, a buyer decided to stop by and they were discussing some business. I'm the only one who is available."

The Ma family had lived in D Town for years and they had a large fruit orchard. As her grandpa was older, it was Ma Yu Xi's father, who was usually in charge of the orchard. The Ma family was big but most of its members lived in a bigger city in pursuit of a better life.

Su Ruan looked at her cousin suspiciously. If she was not mistaken, five years ago, this girl was still in high school. How old was this girl again?

"Don't look at me like that." Ma Yu Xi chuckled. "I promise you that I will bring you back to Grandpa's orchard safely."

"You can drive?"

Ma Yu Xi let out a dramatic sigh. "I have had my license for two years already!"

Su Ruan was doubting her answer and was considering checking on the girl's identification card. However, that doesn't sound very appropriate.

Although Ma Yu Xi is her cousin, Su Ruan was not very familiar with her.

"Do you need me to drive?" Su Ruan suggested.

Ma Yu Xi flashed her a mysterious smile. "Don't worry, I got this." She grabbed the trolley from Su Ruan and waved her hand. "Come on. I'm sure that everyone is excited to see you."

With no other choice, Su Ruan followed her cousin and headed to the parking lot together. The moment she saw the large pickup truck in front of her, Su Ruan began to doubt whether she should climb up the vehicle or not.

As she was still contemplating this problem, Ma Yu Xi had already put her luggage in the car. She helped Su Ruan with the door and laughed. "Come in."

Should she trust this girl with her life?

He gave her cousin another look and almost could not believe that she would be able to drive this pickup truck. However, if Ma Yu Xi had asked her to drive, Su Ruan too did not know if she could do it. She had never driven a pickup truck before.

Even if she wanted to give it a try, Su Ruan was unfamiliar with the road.

Taking a deep breath, Su Ruan finally climbed up the truck. The moment Ma Yu Xi started to drive off and leave the airport, Su Ruan could not help but pray for her life.

Surprisingly, Ma Yu Xi could drive very well. This girl… would even drive with one hand in such a languid manner.

In the beginning, Su Ruan was afraid to ride with this cousin. However, after a while, Su Ruan began to look up to Ma Yu Xi's driving skills.

As Ma Yu Xi drive the pickup truck to D Town, the cousins continued to chat and catch up with their life.

Ma Yu Xi had now finished college and was now helping her father in the orchard while looking for a job. However, their orchard was doing very well and Ma Yu Xi was considering staying and helping to expand their business.

After an hour of driving, they finally left the city and entered a slightly smaller road. Su Ruan watched as Ma Yu Xi took over a few long trucks and thought that she would probably lose a few years of her life due to fear.

Then, they finally entered an area surrounded by tall green trees on their left and right.

Ma Yu Xi rolled down the windows slightly and drove a little slower to let Su Ruan enjoy the scenery.

The wind blew to her face and the air was very clean and refreshing. Su Ruan took a deep breath and thought as if her whole body was energized.

"Sister Ruan." Ma Yu Xi flashed her a smile. "Welcome to D Town."

Su Ruan laughed happily at her words. Somehow, she had this feeling that coming back to D Town was a good move. Perhaps, she could really relax and heal her broken heart. Perhaps, she would be able to figure out what she wanted to do after this.

Something glittering from far away blinded her eyes. Su Run narrowed her eyes to adjust the light and finally saw the lake. The water was so blue and clear. It was the most beautiful lake she had ever seen.

Her breath stuck in her chest. She had often heard her Grandpa mention this lake but Su Ruan did not think that the view would be this breathtaking.

"How is it? Beautiful, right?"

Su Ruan nodded enthusiastically.

"In a few days, I will bring you around the lake and play around," Ma Yu Xi said.. "I'll take you to our town and let you enjoy your stay here."
