“Yes!” Yan Fei assured her, then continued chopping the meat filling for dumplings.

“It’s all yours?”

“Yes!” He continued chopping.

“Bang, crash…” Xu Xiaoyan abruptly put her bowl on the floor, not sparing a glance when her chopsticks also fell.

She grabbed a small bundle of hundred-dollar bills and started counting.

“One hundred, two hundred, three hundred…”

“Chop chop chop…”

The sound of money counting and meat chopping mixed together, creating a unique harmony in the small kitchen.

…

“Eighteen thousand six hundred seventy?” After a long while, Xu Xiaoyan’s trembling voice echoed in the kitchen.

“Yan Xiaofei, how come you have so much money?

You won’t get executed, will you?”

“What does my hard-earned money have to do with execution?

There’s definitely something wrong with your brain today – you should get it checked!” Yan Fei replied exasperatedly.

“You earned it all, no laws broken?” Xu Xiaoyan sounded half convinced.

“Relax, the money is all legit.”

“That’s good.

So it’s eighteen thousand six hundred seventy?

I didn’t miscount, did I?” Yan Fei’s assured tone gave her confidence, and she quickly became concerned about the exact amount.

“No, you didn’t count the small change, right?

There are quite a few hundreds in that too!” Yan Fei teased her on purpose.

“Right, I haven’t finished counting.” Xu Xiaoyan was thoroughly defeated by the sight of so many banknotes that she forgot to contradict him.

“One, two, three…”

“Chop chop chop…”

And so the sounds of counting money and chopping meat resumed.

…

“One hundred thirty-five…

Yan Xiaofei, you have so much money, you don’t need to ask your parents for anything, it’s even enough to pay the bride price to my family, isn’t it?”

“Chop chop chop…

Indeed!” Yan Fei contained his laughter.

“After paying the bride price, there’s so much left.

Is it enough to open a restaurant?”

“Chop chop…

Indeed, plus there will still be some left for some house renovations!”

“Yeah!

Oh…

What was I counting up to, two hundred four, right?

Renovating the house probably wouldn’t use it all up.

If I was still in school, it could be enough to cover my university fees for a year.”

“Indeed, indeed!”

“Oh…

how great it would be if I was still studying, but marrying someone like you, who has ten thousand to spare, wouldn’t be too bad either.

Hehe…

two hundred forty-nine, two hundred fifty…” The naive girl still hasn’t realized what’s happening, and kept counting!

“…” Yan Fei was thoroughly defeated by the girl’s naivety.

“Wait a minute, Yan Xiaofei, with so much money, I could go to college, couldn’t I?” Counting the money, Xu Xiaofei finally realized the crux of the issue.

Seeing Yan Fei’s shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter while chopping the meat, she suddenly understood.

“Nice one!

Yan Xiaofei, you were teasing me, weren’t you…” The girl threw the money back into the box, stood up, and started to tickle him in retaliation.

“You were having fun teasing me, weren’t you?

I’ll show you what’s funny, I’ll make you regret…”

“Hahaha…

Stop…

Haha, I’m holding a knife!” Yan Fei quickly put down his knife, trying to fend off the girl’s ticklish attacks.

“Nope, I have to tickle you to death.

To pay you back for teasing me.

Why is your shirt so thick?

Stop moving…”

“Don’t pull my shirt!

You’ve been eating for quite a while now, but your hands are still so cold, freezing me…”

“Then freeze, freeze to death…

Hmm, you seem to be quite fit?

Nice muscles…” Suddenly, she realized how odd her comment sounded.

Looking at Yan Fei, who was laughing uncontrollably, her face turned beet red.

She rushed to pull her hand out from under his shirt, turned around to grab more money from the box to count.

“Let me count again to see how much is there!”

“Go ahead, count away!” Yan Fei didn’t feel that there was anything wrong.

After all, he and this girl had been running around together since they were little.

Normally, he didn’t think too much about it.

He just considered her his future wife – someone to spend the rest of his life with – without any other thoughts.

It wasn’t clear whether the girl had finally finished counting or not.

Anyway, she was crouching on the floor, rummaging through the box of money.

After a long pause, she finally spoke, “Yan Xiaofei, did you earn all this money yourself?

Or was it left to you by your grandfather?”

“Of course, I earned it all myself, both from selling rabbits and from working in the city.”

“It’s all legal?”

“Rest assured!”

“Can you decide how to use this money on your own?

If your parents find out, they’ll surely confiscate it.

Will they let you fund my education with it?”

“Don’t worry, they won’t know.

Even if they did, I decide what to do with it.

This is my cattle-rearing money, and there will only be more and more of it in the future.

The money needed for your tuition is a pittance!”

“Are you really planning to send me to college?”

“Yes!

When you’re done with college, I’ll have a college-educated wife.

Imagine how good it’d look, introducing you around.

And if you want to continue your studies after college, do it.

Go on to get a Ph.D., even to become an empress…”

“I…” Xu Xiaoyan laughed and cried at his outrageous speech.

“Can you speak seriously?

Have you really thought this through?

Attending university isn’t the same as attending a technical secondary school or a normal university, I’ll have to go to the provincial capital, which is five to six hundred kilometres away.

Once I go, I’ll be away for at least a semester!”

The poor girl had no idea that the person she was talking to could transform into a pterosaur; not to mention five to six hundred kilometers, Yan Fei could now fly a thousand km round trip in a night!

“That’s okay, go ahead and study.

After all, it’s my job as a man to earn money.” Yan Fei said nonchalantly.

Xu Xiaoyan wanted to laugh at first, but looking at Yan Fei’s growing size over the past few months and his still somewhat narrow shoulders, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

As she looked at him, she suddenly teared up, “Yan Xiaofei, you’re so wonderful!”

Without turning his head, Yan Xiaofei snorted, “Enough, Xu Xiaoyan.

I’m only ‘wonderful’ when it benefits you, weren’t you just planning on being someone else’s daughter-in-law?

You change your tune quick!”

Xu Xiaoyan suddenly jumped up, “So what if I say you’re ‘wonderful’?

What’s it to you…”

Before Yan Fei could react, she had hugged him from behind and kissed his cheek twice.

Catching on, he touched his face and was immediately outraged, “Xu Xiaoyan, are you trying to gross me out?

You’ve made my face all greasy!”

The girl, who had never been so audacious before, initially felt a little bold and turned redder than a ripe tomato.

But after hearing his exclamation, she was emboldened again and turned to kiss his other cheek twice more, “It serves you right!

What are you going to do about it?”

“Scram, scram, scram.

Aren’t you eating anymore?

I’m trying to work and you keep getting in the way!” Annoyed, Yan Fei tried unsuccessfully to shake her off.

“I won’t, I won’t, I just won’t!” Losing all sense of propriety, the girl hung onto Yan Fei’s neck and jumped up on him.

“I won’t go, I won’t let you work!”

From the kitchen continued the sounds of hustle and bustle, the rhythmic chopping of dumpling fillings punctuated by the occasional excited barks of the small dog.

Childhood sweethearts, in fact, aren’t necessarily about romance.

At night, Yan Fei started busying himself on the little island again.

Now, he wanted to grow vegetables and melons.

The former sweet potato field was now lying vacant, ready to be ploughed flat, to plant watermelons and vegetables.

This time, he wasn’t sowing haphazardly, but doing it very diligently.

Because it’s all money!

There was still time before spring, so even if he sowed some radish seeds now, he could earn money by selling the radish leaves later.

Currently, there was a shortage of all sorts of greens, so as long as something was green, like radishes, it could be eaten a month after planting and sold for a good price in the city.

Then there were green peppers, water spinach, tomatoes, long beans, and eggplants.

Although vegetables like tomatoes required trellising, these are all crops that can be harvested continuously once planted.

He just wasn’t sure whether his plants would sprout under these conditions.

Anyway, he didn’t plant a lot.

His main focus was on quick-growing radish leaves and watermelons.

After sowing a large plot of seeds, Yan Fei was no longer worried about not having time to catch rabbits and earn money.

With no worries at the back of his mind, he started his test-flights again around the island.

Not satisfied with just one round, he called out towards the cliff where the island’s pterosaurs perched.

Before they could react, he quickly descended to the center of the small island to eat stewed meat.

Poor pterosaurs were now numb to his provocations, even the one he had fought with.

Faced with provocation, they would at most fly up and circle around.

Anyway, they knew that if they flew over, the large pterosaur that just provoked them would vanish into thin air.

For the island pterosaurs, Yan Fei, the large pterosaur, was now like a fly, perpetually irritating you without being able to harm you.

Since winning that fight, he hadn’t fought with them again; dangerous tasks were left for when it was safer in the future.

He was about to start raising cattle and couldn’t afford to get injured.

He would just provoke them now and then, then do his own thing.

If the island pterosaurs could talk, who knows what they would have called him.
