Chapter 297: Chapter 298: Don’t Be Kind (Part 2, Update 1)

Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely, each one leaving with a belly full to the brim.

At the entrance of Qingfeng Building, Nan Feng made an excuse to Nan Quanyou: "Dad, Brother Ye and I will see Feng Gu home. You can go ahead with Aunt Yun and Brother Fu. I have some things to handle at the shop and might be back a bit late."

Nan Quanyou knew Nan Feng was busy and nodded, "If you have things to take care of, go ahead. But be careful. If it gets too late, you can stay the night with Feng Gu and come home the next day."

Due to her recent study preparations, Nan Feng had been sharing a room with Feng Gu for a few days.

"Okay, Dad, I understand. It’s not late yet, you guys should go."

Nan Quanyou and the others headed home first. Nan Feng stood at the entrance of Qingfeng Building, watching the figures of Nan Quanyou, Lin Qiaoyun, and Brother Fu, thinking they looked like a family taking a stroll.

Nan Quanyou’s legs had fully healed. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t be able to tell he used to be lame. Even Brother Ye couldn’t help but comment to Nan Feng: "Uncle Nan looks much younger than before, now that his leg has healed."

Nan Feng blinked and asked, "My dad is in his forties, of course he’s not old. By the way, what do you think of Aunt Yun?"

"From our brief interaction at dinner, I believe she seems like a kind person," Brother Ye answered earnestly.

Nan Feng looked at Brother Ye with delight, "You chose to use ’kind’ instead of ’virtuous’. Do you know how much I appreciate that?"

"Oh? Why is that?" In these times, a woman’s worth is often judged by her virtue.

Nan Feng responded, "Because I am not a virtuous person. I am different from many women. I believe the term ’virtuous’ represents a woman’s humility and tolerance in front of men, but subconsciously, I believe in gender equality. I think women should live with their own style and personality, without relying or demanding anything from others."

Brother Ye looked at Nan Feng with admiration, for he always liked girls with their own opinions.

However, Feng Gu, standing beside them, kept tugging Nan Feng’s clothes, "Sister Nan Feng, what are you saying? Since ancient times, men have been superior to women. Women should be virtuous and dutiful, treating men like heaven and earth. After marriage, women must follow the ’Three Obediences and Four Virtues’. Aren’t you afraid that Brother Ye won’t like you for saying such things?"

Nan Feng glanced at Feng Gu, feeling helpless. Well, this is the difference between ancient and modern times. Nan Feng asked, "Feng Gu, when your mother taught you to read, did she make you read books like ’Biographies of Notable Women’ and ’Instructions for Women’?"

"Yes, Sister Nan Feng. Haven’t you read them?"

Nan Feng gently tapped Feng Gu’s shoulder and smiled, "Neither in my past life, nor in this one, have I read those."

"Wait... your past life?" Feng Gu wondered who would remember things from their previous life.

"Alright, time’s getting late. I’ll take you back to Spikenard Square first," said Nan Feng.

...

By the small river.

With a lantern in hand, Nan Feng asked Brother Ye, "Is this the place you mentioned to release the floating lanterns?"

Brother Ye replied, "Yes, this is it."

The moon that night was just a sliver, but the sky was filled with twinkling stars that reflected off the river’s surface, casting a soft glow, which further enhanced the vibrancy of Nan Feng’s delicate face. Brother Ye couldn’t help but give Nan Feng a few extra glances.

That night, a gentle breeze stirred, emitting a pleasant coolness. The wind ruffled Nan Feng’s clothes, giving her a soothing sensation. She opened her arms and took a deep breath, "This place is wonderful."
