Cheng Xiaofan arranged for Sakai Kyoko to stay at Luo Yang's house because the house was spacious, Luo Yang was honest, and Qian Shulan and his sister Luo Qingzhi were kind and enthusiastic.
Sakai Kyoko had a high level of education, while Luo Yang had not even finished junior high school.
However, after interacting with Sakai Kyoko the previous night, Cheng Xiaofan realized she genuinely did not want to return to the Land of Cherry Blossoms and was determined to stay in Zhuxi Village.
As a successor to Shen Nong, Cheng Xiaofan possessed exceptionally sharp eyes and was a good judge of character.
Whether Sakai Kyoko and Luo Yang would end up together in the future would depend on their compatibility.
Luo Yang was not foolish; he knew Cheng Xiaofan was trying to set him up. He was both ecstatic and terrified by this prospect.
After all, she was a talented woman from the Land of Cherry Blossoms, and he was just a small farmer from the countryside. They were hardly a match.
"Xiaofan, this is putting too much pressure on me!" Luo Yang said nervously.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and replied, "How will you know if you don't try?"
"I'm arranging for her to stay at your house for now. Treat her like a sister. If there's a spark between you two, it will happen naturally!"
"That's right, I think Xiaofan is making sense. Luo Yang, listen to Xiaofan!" To secure a daughter-in-law, Qian Shulan was willing to go all out and encouraged her son.
Luo Yang gritted his teeth, adopted a determined look, and said eagerly, "Alright then, Xiaofan, I'll go to the town police station to pick up Sakai Kyoko right away."
"Mom, cook a few more dishes. I want to have a good drink with Xiaofan!"
Qian Shulan nodded repeatedly and said to her son, "Hurry and go pick up that Kyoko person. Be careful on the road!"
"Alright, I know!"
Luo Yang left, hopped on his motorcycle, and sped away.
Afterward, Cheng Xiaofan called Dao Dahai and informed him about sending Luo Yang to pick up Sakai Kyoko.
Next, he sent a text message to Sakai Kyoko, explaining the arrangement for her to temporarily stay with a friend in the village. This was to prevent her original purpose for coming to Zhuxi Village from being revealed.
Only then would she be easily accepted by everyone in Zhuxi Village.
"Xiaofan, invite Madam Bai over. When Kyoko arrives, they can chat together!" Qian Shulan suggested.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back home and come back with her in a moment!"
Leaving Luo Yang's house, Cheng Xiaofan rode his motorcycle and quickly returned home.
At home, the dishes were already on the table, and they were about to start eating.
Bai Yiling saw him and smiled, "Xiaofan, didn't you say you had something to discuss with Luo Yang and would eat at his place? Why did you come back?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Luo Yang's mom wants to ask you to keep a young lady company. I came back to get you!"
Miao Xiuhua overheard and immediately asked, "Did Luo Yang find a girlfriend?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "You could say that!"
Miao Xiuhua happily smiled, "I watched Luo Yang grow up; he's a good kid. Since Watermelon and Du Xiaojuan are married, he should have a girlfriend too!"
"Xiaofan, do you know which village his girlfriend is from?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "His girlfriend isn't from any village here. She crossed the ocean from the Land of Cherry Blossoms to be with us!"
"What? From the Land of Cherry Blossoms!"
Miao Xiuhua, Bai Yiling, and Cheng Fugui looked stunned.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "This girl's name is Sakai Kyoko. When you meet her, you can just call her Kyoko."
"Kyoko saw my live stream video and was captivated by the scenery of our Zhuxi Village, so she came here wanting to settle down permanently!"
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Miao Xiuhua's expression darkened as she listened. "Xiaofan, since Kyoko came because of your live stream, shouldn't she be looking for you? Why is she looking for Luo Yang?"
"I must warn you, I recognize Yiling. If you mess around, my mom and dad will skin you alive!"
Cheng Xiaofan slammed the table and exclaimed, "Xiaofan, what exactly is going on? Tell me clearly!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan noticed that even Bai Yiling's gaze towards him held a hint of suspicion.
It seemed he had to be completely honest in front of his family.
Cheng Xiaofan sighed helplessly and said to Miao Xiuhua and Cheng Fugui, "I'll lay it all out for you. Sakai Kyoko did indeed come because of me."
"And it's not just her. There was another beautiful woman named Matsuki Chiyoko, but I sent her away from Zhuxi Village overnight."
"I can tell you everything, but for the sake of this Sakai Kyoko, I hope Mom and Dad won't leak what I'm about to say!"
"You are in no position to set conditions now. After you've told us everything, we'll consider it," Miao Xiuhua said with a grim face.
Cheng Fugui added sternly, "Son, if you dare do anything to betray Yiling, I'll break your legs and kick you out of Zhuxi Village!"
"Speak!" Miao Xiuhua and Cheng Fugui shouted in unison.
Cheng Xiaofan's face was immediately filled with dark lines!
Why was this turning into an interrogation?
Was he even their biological son?
Didn't they have any idea of their son's character?
It was a good thing he didn't live at home, or he might have to endure his parents' verbal abuse over trivial matters.
"This all started when I attended the World Famous Wine Auction..." Thus, Cheng Xiaofan recounted the entire incident.
Of course, he omitted some details that were unfavorable to Sakai Kyoko.
After all, if he was willing to let Sakai Kyoko stay in Zhuxi Village, he had to create an environment conducive to her settling in.
When he finished speaking, he noticed a smile in Bai Yiling's beautiful eyes, her expression very clear.
*My man, I trust him!*
Miao Xiuhua and Cheng Fugui stared at their son, utterly bewildered.
"Mom, Dad, what's wrong?" Cheng Xiaofan waved his hand in front of their eyes and asked.
The elders snapped back to reality. Miao Xiuhua said angrily, "That Sakai Kazuo is too wicked! He actually tried to kidnap my son to the Land of Cherry Blossoms! It makes me so angry!"
"Xiaofan, this Kyoko girl is too pitiful. Her mother died young, and her father is useless. You were right to save her. If she and Luo Yang can end up together, you'll have done a great deed!"
Cheng Xiaofan reiterated, "Please don't spread what I told you. It would be bad for Kyoko!"
"Don't worry, your mother and I won't say anything," Cheng Fugui immediately replied.
Just then, Luo Yang called Cheng Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, I've brought Miss Kyoko home. You and Madam Bai should come over quickly!"
Judging by Luo Yang's tone, he was clearly very excited, indicating he had taken an instant liking to Sakai Kyoko.
"Okay, we're coming right over!"
Cheng Xiaofan hung up the phone, smiled at Bai Yiling, and said, "Yiling, let's go. Luo Yang is calling us!"
As they stepped out, his phone chimed with a notification.
Cheng Xiaofan opened it to see that Liu Xinyue's payment of two million one hundred eighty thousand had arrived.
Clearly, two million was for the lobsters, and the remaining eighteen thousand was for the deep-sea fish.
