This Four Seasons Courtyard has been around for ages, with houses featuring high eaves and ridged roofs. Even when the weather turns hot and the sun is scorching, the house can’t be completely sun-drenched.

The advantage is that while it’s sweltering outside, it’s actually not that hot inside the house.

In the mornings and evenings, there’s no need to even turn on the fan.

Only in the hottest part of the day does the fan need to be turned on.

Even on the lowest setting, it feels very refreshing.

This is the second summer Jiang Ran has experienced since coming to this world.

Last summer, she still felt a bit hot.

But now, she doesn’t feel hot at all.

With the house so cool and comfortable, why bother going outside?

After all, everything she needs to do can be done inside.

By the end of June, kindergarten also went on holiday.

Pei Jing didn’t need to go to school anymore, and the house became livelier.

Don’t be fooled, it’s just one more child over four years old, but he can create as much commotion as ten adults.

No matter which room you are in, you can hear Pei Jing’s cheerful laughter.

With Pei Jing around, Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan laughed even more every day.

Though they were quite happy before, they are clearly even happier now.

Of course, staying inside the house all the time is impossible.

In the late afternoon, as the sun is about to set, Jiang Ran and the family would go out for a stroll after dinner.

Many people share the same idea.

After dinner, it’s actually the liveliest time outside.

Every household takes their children out for a walk, filling the outside with laughter and joy.

Since their surroundings are all Four Seasons Courtyards, there aren’t actually that many residents.

Walking east, there’s a small open space with some flowers and grass, the road paved with stone slabs.

It’s not exactly a small park, but it serves as a resting and cooling place.

In the evening, this place becomes particularly lively.

Adults gather to chat, while children hop and play noisily nearby.

Pei Jing is not a shy child; on the contrary, he’s lively and extra confident, never timid around anyone.

Even with new playmates, if he wanted to play, he’d introduce himself.

It wouldn’t take long before he was playing with them.

Every time Jiang Ran witnessed such scenes, she couldn’t help but marvel, despite Pei Jing’s young age, he’s already a social expert.

This is actually quite good.

It bodes well for his future life, advantageous without any disadvantages.

Jiang Ran and Pei Shanshan sat together, chatting casually.

As they were talking, a voice full of surprise was heard.

"Is that you?"

The voice was close, right beside them.

It was obvious the voice was directed at the two of them.

Jiang Ran and Pei Shanshan turned their heads simultaneously to look at the speaker.

Only upon seeing did they realize with surprise.

The speaker was none other than Qin Chuan.

At the sight of Qin Chuan, Jiang Ran was genuinely surprised.

Beishi is so big, and yet they could still meet!

Last time it was at a park, and this time it was near home.

Unless Qin Chuan was deliberately looking for them, it could only mean one thing.

Qin Chuan also lives nearby.

While Jiang Ran was pondering this inwardly, Qin Chuan had already spoken, "Do you live here too?"
