Understanding Xiaobei's words, the Treasure-hunting Rabbit lying on Xiaobei's shoulder looked at him with a very aggrieved expression...

Soon, it started to shake its chubby little paws continuously at Xiaobei...

Before long, Xiaobei realized what this creature was trying to express.

It turned out that it meant it had been working too hard, so its diet had improved a little recently.

That's why it had gained just a little bit of weight.

Hearing it mention "a little bit," Xiaobei's corner of the mouth twitched unconsciously...

Honestly, Xiaobei really wanted to make some snide remarks at this moment...

But Xiaobei gave up...

Because Xiaobei knew this creature had incredibly thick skin...

Abandoning the idea of making snide remarks, Xiaobei gently stroked its furry little head...

After chatting with it for a while longer, Xiaobei left...

Seeing Xiaobei leave, this creature happily ran to the front of the wooden cabin...

Soon, it lazily basked in the sun...

Xiaobei didn't realize this creature had resumed its carefree lifestyle; if he did, he might really have a few words to say...

Returning to the village, Xiaobei saw Hei and Xiaobai!

He was ready to go check on them, but Xiaobei gave up!

Because at that moment, Xiaobei saw a lot of young girls gathered around them, all there to take photos!

"Looks like I'd be interrupting them if I went over now, better let it be!"

Mumbling this, Xiaobei turned his head and continued towards the village!

At the same time, Xiaobei looked around...

Although this time away wasn't long, returning to the village, Xiaobei still felt the whole atmosphere had changed.

The village now seemed truly invigorated!

Before, the village youth went to the city to work because of poverty.

Consequently, the village was always filled with a dreary atmosphere!

Now, thanks to him, the village's situation improved, so everyone found their motivation again...

Especially the young ones, who were as energized as if on a sugar rush.

"Honestly, this is how the village should be!"

Expressing this excitement, Xiaobei heard someone talking to him.

Turning his head, Xiaobei found several elderly villagers sitting over by the house playing chess!

"Hello, grandpas!"

Xiaobei quickly glanced at them and greeted them warmly...

Hearing Xiaobei's affectionate greeting, they laughed...

Soon, they waved him over!

"Come on, Xiaobei, come chat with us!"

"That's right! You're always so busy, it's rare to see you! Now that we have the chance, let's have a good talk!"

"Yes, yes, indeed!"

They watched Xiaobei grow up, so they're especially fond of him...

Earlier, because Xiaobei was busy, they rarely had the chance to see him...

Now that they've finally seen him, of course, they want to have a good chat with Xiaobei...

Feeling their warm invitation, Xiaobei felt a warmth in his heart!

Taking a deep breath, Xiaobei awkwardly rubbed his nose!

Xiaobei knew that they were right!

He really has been quite busy for a while now...

So honestly, he hasn't had much time to sit and talk with them.

It's nice to have a chance to talk with them now!

Thinking this, Xiaobei awkwardly said, "Grandpas, I'm sorry! I've been too busy before, so I didn't have time to check on you!"

Hearing Xiaobei's apologetic words, they laughed!

"Haha, Xiaobei, don't worry, we're just saying it casually!"

"Exactly! You young ones should be busy, we're getting old, taking it easy is fine!"

"That's right! Just keep busy, that's all!"

Hearing them speak again, Xiaobei smiled...

Without saying more, Xiaobei sat directly in front of them!

Seeing Xiaobei sit down, all of them smiled warmly, sizing him up.

When Xiaobei was a child, their first impression of him was mischievous!

Every day, Xiaobei either climbed trees to catch birds or went to the river to catch fish...

Later, Xiaobei gradually changed...

Meanwhile, Xiaobei also gradually changed Xiaohe Village...

They saw it all with their own eyes, so they're truly grateful to Xiaobei.

They've lived in Xiaohe Village for many years, so their feelings for Xiaohe Village are genuinely profound.

This is why they always hoped Xiaohe Village would prosper.

But it was truly difficult...

Now, seeing Xiaohe Village turn around thanks to Xiaobei, they're really happy!

Honestly, when they were young, mentioning Xiaohe Village, everyone's first impression was poverty!

But now, mentioning Xiaohe Village, everyone first thinks of Paradise.

This change is naturally all because of Xiaobei, so they look at Xiaobei and feel more and more pleased!

Being watched like this, Xiaobei felt a bit awkward!

Sitting with others, Xiaobei could project his aura to hold them at bay!

But with them, Xiaobei couldn't do that!

Because Xiaobei knows they watched him grow up...

Thinking this, Xiaobei turned to look at the chess game...

Seeing Xiaobei's interest, they curiously spoke up!

"Xiaobei, do you know how to play chess?"

Hearing this, Xiaobei nodded and said, "I know a little, but... not very proficient!"

When Xiaobei was young, he learned chess but wasn't particularly skilled...

So he could only be considered at an amateur level...

Hearing Xiaobei's response, their eyes lit up!

Soon, they all proposed in unison, "Since that's the case, let's play a game!"

"Sure!"

Seeing their eagerness, Xiaobei didn't refuse!

Thus, Xiaobei sat on one side, while they naturally settled on the other side!

The chess game began quickly!

At first, Xiaobei didn't have any particular feeling!

But as time went on, Xiaobei felt something strange!

They didn't seem to want to play chess with him but rather use the opportunity to talk about matchmaking!

"Xiaobei! You're not young anymore, so is it time you find a partner?"

"That's right, we know you have high standards, but you need to choose quickly!"

"Exactly! If you don't hurry, all the good girls will be taken!"

With a bitter smile, Xiaobei said, "Grandpas, I... I know, I'll do my best! But... but fate is unpredictable, so we can't force it too much!"

Xiaobei quickly brushed them off...

Xiaobei knew he really couldn't go on any more blind dates since he already had too many close female friends around him!

So adding one more would be overwhelming...

Perhaps knowing Xiaobei would respond this way, after hearing his words, they promptly pulled out photos they had prepared beforehand!

"Xiaobei, this is my granddaughter; you didn't meet her when she was young! She's working out of town now, single, you two could meet and talk."

"Xiaobei, this is my granddaughter, she..."

"Xiaobei, this is my granddaughter..."

After the first introduction, the others quickly spoke up too...

Xiaobei was stunned...

He knew he couldn't keep sitting there any longer!

Because this wasn't a chat session but a matchmaking event.

Having made sense of this, Xiaobei prepared to find an excuse to leave...

Just as he thought about what excuse to use...

Xiaobei suddenly saw Guo Meiyu standing in the distance...

Seeing her instantly, Xiaobei's eyes lit up...

The next second, Xiaobei quickly shouted, "Sis, don't leave yet, wait for me, I need to talk to you!"

Upon hearing Xiaobei's loud shout, they all turned, and in that instant, they also saw Guo Meiyu...

Seeing them all look at Guo Meiyu, Xiaobei quickly spoke up!

"Grandpas, I have some business to attend to now, let's talk about matchmaking later, later!"

Having said this, Xiaobei didn't wait for their response and dashed away in true embarrassment!

Seeing Xiaobei's embarrassed demeanor, they all laughed!

Earlier, their eagerness for Xiaobei to go on a blind date...

Wasn't necessarily to make him marry their granddaughters...

But simply because they genuinely wanted him to settle down, as he really wasn't young anymore...

Although Xiaobei was aware of their thoughtful intentions, he still couldn't meet someone new because he knew he already owed a lot of emotional debts...
