The next day is the weekend, coinciding with the monthly break. The school generously gave everyone three days off.
Early in the morning, Luo Lanzhen, Yang Haiyan, and Gu Youlan from the dormitory packed their bags and went home. Jiang Tian initially planned to ride back to town with Nianyang, but Nianyang said she was going to the county to find Li Tingyan.
"Yangyang, you say you want to go alone to the county to find your fiancé? But isn’t Mr. Li out at sea?"
"He’s already returned from the sea, now he’s at the county’s port. I need to go see him."
Nianyang knew Li Tingyan was in the county, thanks to Tuanz’s address from Baidu Maps. Li Tingyan went to sea from the south, and the county’s port was the nearest. They would definitely stop there.
Rather than anxiously waiting, Nianyang found it more reassuring to go and see for herself.
"Alright then, you take care on the road. I’ll bring back some delicious food my mom made for you."
Jiang Tian knew once Nianyang decided on something, she wouldn’t change her mind. Although she was worried, she felt it was not her place to persuade her otherwise.
Nianyang didn’t pack much, heading straight to the town’s bus station. The county is quite far from the town, requiring about three hours by bus.
After a bumpy journey, by the time she reached the county, it was eleven o’clock.
The county’s port is in a relatively remote mountainous area, and Nianyang took another two hours’ bus ride to get there. The roads were bumpy, and the car shook all the way, causing Nianyang to throw up as she got off.
"Miss, are you okay?" Two gatekeepers saw a delicate and beautiful lady squatting and vomiting and instinctively approached to offer comfort.
Nianyang took out a tissue to wipe her mouth and smiled at them, "I’m fine. Gentlemen, may I ask if Li Tingyan is here?"
"..."
The two gatekeepers were mesmerized by Nianyang’s enchanting smile, unconsciously swallowing and unable to speak.
"Why aren’t you speaking? Is Li Tingyan not here?"
Nianyang couldn’t help but frown. After suffering so much to get here, if Li Tingyan wasn’t there, she would be devastated!
"Miss, are you talking about the Sea Merchant from Pingjing, that Li Yama, Li Tingyan who just returned from unloading cargo?"
Coming back to their senses, the bald-headed man was the first to ask.
Nianyang’s heart settled down.
It seemed Li Tingyan was indeed here.
"Let me tell you, this Li is my idol. He only took a dozen people to sea and captured three pirate ships, taking their food as well. Truly worthy of being called Cold Yama."
The bald man spoke with pride, truly admiring Li Tingyan. For everyone working at the port, it was their dream to become a hero like Li Tingyan.
"Miss, do you know Cold Yama?"
The other guard was full of curiosity and excitement.
Nianyang also felt pride and said in a clear voice, "Of course I know him, I am his fiancée. Can you tell me where he is and take me to see him?"
"What, you’re Cold Yama’s wife?"
The two gatekeepers were shocked, not expecting the cold and intimidating Yama to have such a delicate little wife.
"Miss... oh no, it should be Saozi. Li just returned three days ago and is likely in the medical room. I’ll take you there now, Saozi."
The bald-headed man spoke excitedly and, under the envious gaze of the other man, happily led Nianyang inside.
This is Cold Yama’s wife; he had to serve her well and could boast to his brothers later.
