Rebirth: The Courtyard Bride Is Cool and Radiant novel Chapter 321

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Out of the Woods and into a New Village

Ning Junlan’s face lit up with excitement when she saw Yunyi approaching. "Comrade Chu, you’ve finished your tasks."

Yunyi nodded. "Let’s go have a look first."

Ning Junlan had already packed everything and was waiting. "Okay, let’s go now."

Ning Junlan’s home wasn’t far; it was a standalone house with its own courtyard.

Upon entering, Ning Junlan made a beeline for where the round fan was kept.

She carefully took it out and handed it to Yunyi, afraid Yunyi might say it was beyond repair.

Just then, Xiao Youyou, who had returned home early from another room, heard the commotion and came over. "Mom, you’re back."

Ning Junlan had no time for her daughter right now. She motioned for Xiao Youyou to be quiet, not daring to even blink as she asked Yunyi, "How is it? Can it be repaired?"

Yunyi nodded. "Do you have any embroidery thread here?"

Ning Junlan turned, opened a cabinet, and took out a small bundle. "It’s all in here. See if this is suitable. If you need something I don’t have, I’ll go buy it tomorrow."

The fan was made of natural silk fabric, which was very susceptible to snags.

Yunyi examined it carefully, then looked at the embroidery thread in the bundle. She now had a clear idea. "It can be done," she confirmed.

Ning Junlan finally let out a sigh of relief, though her heart remained heavy; she wouldn’t feel truly at ease until she saw the fan perfectly restored.

Yunyi asked her to find a piece of scrap fabric first. After testing her feel for the material, she then picked up the round fan and began to repair it.

Her skilled technique completely captivated Ning Junlan, and a surge of admiration warmed her heart.

The moment Yunyi snipped the final thread, Ning Junlan exclaimed with joy, "This is truly wonderful!"

Xiao Youyou, seeing her mother was preoccupied, picked up the repaired fan and examined it from all angles. This embroidery is exquisite! she thought. On one side of the damaged area, there’s a bee, and on the other, a small flower petal—both are so vividly lifelike!

She then left the ward and sat on a bench in the corridor.

What Yunyi didn’t know was that as soon as she left Ning Junlan’s home, Ning Junlan had bought a ticket for the earliest available train to Beijing, setting off overnight.

Meanwhile, on another train, the two people who had come to collect the fan found their journey had been for nothing.

Ning Junlan was simply too excited. The fan, rejuvenated by Yunyi’s touch, seemed even more vibrant and alive. She felt she absolutely had to deliver it in person.

Perhaps due to her constitution, or perhaps because her subconscious wished to avoid facing reality, Guo Shuiyu woke up quite late.

It was on Yunyi’s third visit to check on her that she finally stirred.

When Guo Shuiyu awoke, she looked utterly dejected. Seeing her in this state, Yunyi felt a pang of frustration—that familiar disappointment when someone doesn’t live up to expectations. "Are you feeling all right?" she asked.
