The Moment He Knew

"Let him speak," Xiao Ning asks Yan Cheng. Shutang looked towards Yan Cheng in hope so that she could marry Yang Jin.

He keeps his chop sticks aside and tells his family in a serious tone "I want to marry Zhi Yi" and looks towards his parents.

They were actually fearing he might reject her after looking at his serious expression but immediately broke with laughter and felt happy after hearing his response.

"But Yan Brother, haven't you always seen her as a sister? Why did you suddenly change your mind to get married to her?" Shu Tang asks him, feeling disappointed.

"Yes, I have always treated her like my little sister since we are young"

"How could i fall for her" as the thoughts run in his mind, he remembered their past.

Zhiyi had always tagged along with Yan Cheng showing her towards him, favouring him over her own brother.

In Childhood,

Jiang Jing bought Red Bean cakes on Zhiyi's eleventh birthday as they are her favourite and Zhiyi didn't even share them with Yang Jin but she gave half of the cakes with Yan cheng which is the way of displaying her love for a 11 year old child.

She smiled at him and felt shy as he accepted her gift, while Yang Jin quarreled with her over not sharing the present with him. She has always shown her feelings towards him and made him more important in her life.

Yan Cheng feels shy to tell in front of his parents as he recollected those memories but responds "I started to like her from the moment I saw her today and I want to make her my wife"

His face lit brightly as he responded to his parents as if he was telling the truth.His parents were very happy to know and they continued to eat joyously.

"Eat more" his mother added a few more dishes on his plate with happiness. 

Shu Tang has a smile on her face but deep down it buried her disappointment of not getting the chance to marry Yang Jin.

The next day, Yan Cheng also accompanied his parents to the farm where Zhiyi and her family were already present. Both of them felt shy seeing each other while their families thought they might be awkward since they are engaged. 

They all started to do the farm work and both of them secretly stole a few glances without each other's knowledge. They saw the younger versions of themselves in each other, and for a moment, the years between them melted into memory.

While they were returning back to home, Yan Cheng's mother asked Zhiyi and Yang Jin to accompany Yan Cheng and Shu Tang to the market in a nearby town to buy some things for his exams and also to buy some new clothes and snacks for all of them.

"But Aunt Ning, there is no occasion to buy new clothes" Yang Jin asks her.

"Just but some when i said so" she smiles and Yang Jin understood that she wanted to drive them away so that they could discuss marriage.

Yang Jin is excited and understands that Yan Cheng is ready to marry his sister, he then grabs Yan Cheng with his arm around his neck. As they all walk towards the town, he whispers in Yan Cheng's ears "You are truly shameless, Have you accepted my sister's hand in marriage?"

Yan Cheng was in a shock and turned towards him and this confirmed his question. He then smiles and starts to tease him. "Have you fallen for my sister after seeing her?" Yan Cheng avoids his question and Yang Jin continues to tease him.

While Zhiyi and Shutang are walking while holding hands, both admire their love. But Shutang feels a bit disappointed that it's still not her turn. She just feels happy in others happiness.

Though Shutang loves Yang jin from childhood, she never dared to confess her feelings as there are many suitors for Yang Jin unlike Yan cheng. Though Yan cheng is more handsome, he is always reserved and focused more on his studies which makes him out of reach for other girls.

 On the other hand Yang Jin has a carefree and lively nature which attracts more girls in their village. Many have confessed their feelings but he never accepted anyone's confession. So this makes Shutang even more cautious as she doesn't want to be turned down by him.

They all reach the town and they buy paper and ink for Yan Cheng and then they enter a clothing store to buy clothes for everyone. They both tried on some clothes and both Yan Cheng and Yang jin were left in awe. Yan Cheng couldn't believe himself that the ordinary looking zhiyi now looks like a noble lady in these new clothes. She stuns everyone in her new dress.

Yan Cheng couldn't shift his soft gaze away from zhiyi, zhiyi returned back inside turning red. Her face lit up with joy after knowing how her lover sees her. 

Shutang is also very happy to know that after seeing her in these clothes Yang Jin will never treat her like a sister. She then goes out and appears in front of Yang Jin, this arouses suspicion in Yan Cheng.

"You look very good Tang Tang" Yang Jin then taps on her head and Shutang smiles in high spirits. Just then Li Yanning arrives in the store and criticizes Shutang "Hey Shutang You look very good now, but you couldn't surpass me with just a new dress. You will need good looks which nobody in our village have"

She continues "Don't worry. Once I marry Brother Yan, I'll make sure you shine just as brightly — I'll help you with everything, even your looks." she smirks proudly with arrogance.

"Yan Brother, how do I look?" She comes in front of Yan Cheng and clings to him. Yan CHeng was about to remove her hand and confront her. Zhiyi couldn't help but feel jealous and about to come out.

"Who are you to give your opinion on Tang Tang" Yang Jin defends her.

"Yan Brother, I didn't want to offend your sister. I am just telling the truth. Don't you think I look the most beautiful in our village" She then holds Yan Cheng's hand and puts on an innocent face and tries to get close to him but clinging onto him.

"Get your hands away from him" Zhiyi comes out in her new dress and removes her hand from Yan Cheng.

"How dare you confront me, just look at the mirror and tell if I am wrong..." Yining fumes in anger but immediately stutters as soon as she sees zhiyi in a new dress looking very beautiful.

She couldn't believe herself that the ordinary looking girl from her village had turned into a beautiful lady. Yan Cheng defends her and says "I don't think anyone here is as beautiful as zhiyi"

His words made Yining speechless and she left in anger. Zhiyi feels happy on how Yan Cheng defended her. "No need — my sister-in-law's got it covered. You can stop worrying about my looks". Shu Tang stood up for herself after Yang Jin and others stood up for her and smiled looking at Yang Jin.

"Stop looking at him. You are looking as if you are about to devour him" Yang Jin embarrasses her. She then feels embarrassed leaving the store with tears in her eyes and an embarrassed face.

Then Yan Cheng and Yang Jin tried new clothes and Zhiyi and Shutang couldn't help but admire their handsome faces.

Yan Cheng and Zhiyi leave first to buy snacks and Yang jin enters the changing room to change back his clothes. As he is changing his clothes, Shutang enters the room bringing another set of clothes for him to try.

As she entered the room, Yang jin already removed his robe without any clothes on his chest. Shutang froze in silence, she was secretly watching him dress up. Yang jin has a strong back with a good build up. He then turns around and sees Shutang.

"Tang Tang, What are you doing here?" he turns towards her and Shutang peeks at his chest and abdominal muscles.

"Yang Brother, I brought you another pair to try. Please try it" She immediately leaves, handing him over the clothes.

Yang Jin feels a bit shy about a girl looking him half naked. Yet he tries on the clothes brought by her and goes out to show her.

Shutang is melted by his looks, she couldn't help but say "Yang Brother, you look so handsome". she immediately feels shy and goes out.

As soon as Yang jin went to settle the bill. The owner tells him that the girl already paid for his second dress. Yang Jin couldn't help but think that Shutang likes him but ignores his thoughts.

While Yan Cheng and Zhiyi were out buying some snacks , Zhiyi sees a hairpin but leaves as it costs more than they could afford.

Yan Cheng and Zhiyi already bought some snacks and all of them were on their way to their village.

As they all reached the Xiao House, both families gathered together waiting for them for dinner. As they are having their dinner Xiao jiang Huia and Jiang Jing announces that they are planning to have their wedding in the next full moon which is almost 3 weeks away.
