Large flower markets were generally located in the more remote parts of the city. Early this morning, Xia Feng and Yu Dong drove through the city, all the way to a suburban place full of greenery.

Yu Dong opened her window, letting the wind blow her long hair, her face full of joy and eyes bright.

"Let's park over there." Yu Dong pointed towards a small parking lot nearby.

Xia Feng looked towards the lot and was puzzled: "The flower market is still a while away though."

"We can walk." Yu Dong smiled. "The weather is really good today."

At this Xia Feng nodded and lowered the car's speed, stopping on a shaded spot.

A sunny and bright spring day would always make a person happy, even if they just sit outside in a daze, it would still be enjoyable.

Xia Feng held Yu Dong's hand as they walked through the shade of a swaying tree, the sunlight peeking through the gaps of the verdant leaves, enhancing Yu Dong's lovely smile.

"It's been a long while since I came out like this." The weather was wonderful, the wife was happy, Xia Feng felt like he was flying.

"Did you miss the beautiful scenery?" Yu Dong laughed.

"Yeah. Even without flowers, the gorgeous greenery can make people feel refreshed and happy." Xia Feng lamented.

"I visited the Imperial Capital once, when it was poplar season." Yu Dong recalled. "I would ride my bike and go through the streets and alleys, the poplars tall and proud as far as the eye can see."

(T/N I'm unsure about Imperial Capital (帝都), but that's what the dictionary said. Poplar is a kind of tree. Those tall teardrop shaped ones.

Xia Feng could imagine this, and suddenly thought that it was regrettable that Shanghai didn't have many of these tall poplar trees.

"Did you think about what kind of plants you wanted?" Xia Feng asked.

"Well~~ I thought that I'd buy some hanging orchids, some green radish, a few brightly colored flowers." Yu Dong said, excited. "When I traveled around Europe, I saw a lot of beautiful flowers on people's balconies. We can put some tables and chairs on ours and sunbathe together, or read books, drink tea, that would be nice.

"Do you like to travel?" Xia Feng could tell that Yu Dong had been to many places and seen many things.

"Un." Before her rebirth, Yu Dong would give herself a vacation every year. Even if she ended up alone, she had wanted to travel to every single beautiful corner of the world.

"When work dies down a little we should go together." Xia Feng suggested, realizing that he had never traveled with Yu Dong.

Yu Dong smiled and asked: "When has the hospital not been busy?"

Xia Feng was stunned, it seemed that the hospital really was constantly busy. Even today's day off needed to be specially approved by Director Zhong.

Touching his nose, Xia Feng awkwardly said: "We can always make time."

Although his words weren't well thought out, Yu Dong was still pleased with Xia Feng's proposal.

Yu Dong wasn't really a young girl in her twenties. She was someone who was used to do things alone, someone who was independent and a strong personality. Yu Dong had the mature and gentle soul of a 30-year-old woman.

"There's a lot of places I want to go to, but there's only one place I will always want to come back to." Because they were walking quite close to each other, Yu Dong needed to look up to lock eyes with Xia Feng.
