Lu Sisi was originally quite curious about this countryside wild temple, but after truly walking around it, she saw it wasn't very big and looked quite dilapidated. After a while, the initial sense of novelty was gone.
Chen Yan simply took her to stroll around the vegetable garden and the woods at the back, then returned to the courtyard, pointed to the citrus tree in the courtyard, and told Lu Sisi the story of how he used to steal oranges from the temple with the village kids when he was little.
Lu Sisi listened very attentively, always smiling, quietly watching Chen Yan.
"So, were the oranges on this tree very sweet?"
Chen Yan sighed, "The wild citrus trees on the mountain, never grafted, never properly cultivated, how could they be sweet? But the strange thing is, after growing up and living in the city, I've had many good quality oranges, but thinking back, I always feel that the few wild oranges I stole here as a child, were the sweetest I've ever had..."
