“Qianqian!” It was still the boy from before.

Mo Qian pouted and stomped her feet. “It’s just sharing a table. Stingy!”

Then, she shouted to the boss in the shop, “Boss, arrange a table for us. For three people!”

The boy nodded at Zhao Linlin embarrassedly, “I’m sorry.”

The other boy, who had been silent the whole time, frowned deeply and glanced at the boy. The boy also smiled apologetically at him, “I’m sorry, Brother. I didn’t know… Sigh, I said that I wanted to bring you here to experience nature’s beauty and find inspiration. I didn’t expect…”

The boy glanced at Mo Qian, who was calling the boss to order. “Your girlfriend?”

“Is that your taste?”

The boy touched his nose. “S-she’s not my girlfriend yet. I didn’t get her to agree yet.”

He received a disdainful look.

It was as if he was saying that it was already bad enough that he liked such a girl, and he actually couldn’t get her to agree to be his girlfriend…

The boy was embarrassed.

“Were you two close in the past?” Chu Xiaohuan asked Zhao Linlin casually during the meal.

She was asking about her relationship with Mo Qian.

Zhao Linlin shook her head. “I didn’t recognize her at all just now.”

“Won’t her parents be unhappy that she brought the two boys home like this?” Qin Xuan was curious. Because she had interacted with Zhao Linlin the most, she knew that the elders in Zhao Linlin’s hometown were more conservative.

It was fine to bring a few male and female classmates home. However, if it was just boys, the parents would usually find it difficult to accept.

“Her parents seem to be out working. Her grandmother is alone at home.”

Not only Qin Xuan and Chu Xiaohuan, but even Yan Jinyu was slightly surprised.

“Isn’t it even worse to bring two boys home like this? Won’t the neighbors gossip?” She might have never experienced it herself, but she had definitely heard of it before.

This was the first time Chu Xiaohuan had come to such a remote place, but that did not mean that she did not know the ways of the world.

Especially in such a conservative village.

“I don’t know.” Zhao Linlin shook her head.

“Don’t bother about her. Let’s quickly eat and go catch the bus. We haven’t bought the tickets yet. We really have to stay here for the night when we can’t even buy the tickets.”

“Didn’t you buy the bus tickets?” Qin Xuan was puzzled. She thought that she had already bought them.

She was in charge of the plane tickets and Zhao Linlin was in charge of the bus tickets.

“It’s fine. Our traffic is small here. We usually buy tickets at the bus stop and get onto the bus immediately. We usually will have tickets. At most, we’ll just reach home slightly later.”

“Alright.”

Qin Xuan wanted to say that even if they couldn’t get onto the bus, as long as they wanted to go back, they could get a car.

On second thought, Zhao Linlin said that she was responsible for the bus fees, so she didn’t say that out loud.

At first, Zhao Linlin said that she would be responsible for the plane tickets too. It was Qin Xuan who used the excuse that her account could get discounts and said that she would buy it. That was why Zhao Linlin didn’t insist.

The few of them did not eat too quickly or too slowly. They finished eating in about 40 minutes.

Zhao Linlin asked, “How do you find the taste?”

Yan Jinyu sat opposite her and Zhao Linlin asked as she looked at Yan Jinyu.

“Not bad.” Yan Jinyu took the tissue Chu Xiaohuan handed over and thanked her.

Chu Xiaohuan continued, “The taste is indeed good. That driver is very good. He didn’t randomly recommend us.”

“That’s good. I was worried that you wouldn’t be used to it,” Zhao Linlin said calmly.

Zhao Linlin knew very well who they were. They also roughly knew Zhao Linlin’s personality and wouldn’t think too much about her words.

Qin Xuan glanced at her. “What’s there to get used to? We’re very easy to take care of.”

Zhao Linlin smiled. They were indeed easy to take care of. They didn’t put on any airs at all.

Following them around, she had also seen what high society was like, especially Yan Jinyu’s engagement party. That was the most luxurious banquet she had ever attended. Most of the people who attended the banquet were figures that could only be seen in the financial newspapers and magazines and on television.

However, they did not have any spoiled attitude, nor would they look down on people who came from lower families than them.

If she wasn’t familiar with them, she would at most think that their family background was better and wouldn’t think of the top-notch wealthy families at all.

They were real socialites.

“Then let’s go.”

As soon as they stood up, Mo Qian shouted, “Linlin, are you leaving? Wait for us. We want to go back too. We can take the same bus back!”

Zhao Linlin couldn’t really reject that. She could only say, “It’s too hot in the shop. We’ll wait for you at the bus station first.” action

Although she said she would wait, it didn’t matter if she didn’t later.

Mo Qian wanted to shout again, but the boy’s face fell a little. He seemed to be a little unhappy, so she stopped herself. “Alright, you guys go over first. We’ll come over after dinner.”

Zhao Linlin nodded with a fake smile and dragged her luggage out of the restaurant with the three of them.

It was a 10-minute walk with a suitcase. It was not far and they could digest their food.

However, the sun was too scorching. Other than Yan Jinyu, the other three people took out their parasols to shield themselves from the sun.

Chu Xiaohuan took a step forward and covered the top of their heads with the umbrella. “Jinyu, didn’t you bring an umbrella?”

“I did. It’s in my bag. I’m not hot and it’s not far, so I won’t take it out. You can cover yourself.”

Chu Xiaohuan took a look at her. There wasn’t even a drop of sweat on her face, and her skin wasn’t red from the sun. Only then did she know that she wasn’t lying. “Jinyu, your physique is too special. It’s such a hot day, but you actually didn’t sweat at all. Your face isn’t red from the sun either.”

Qin Xuan and Zhao Linlin looked at each other.

Qin Xuan smiled and said, “You only know that now? I realized it long ago during the military training. Jinyu’s stamina isn’t something we can compare to at all. Not only does Jinyu have good stamina and doesn’t complain about being tired during the military training, but her skin is also much better than ours. After the military training, we couldn’t avoid being tanned after using all kinds of sunblock. Only Jinyu’s skin is about the same as before the military training.”

“Her physique is really enviable,” Zhao Linlin said.

Yan Jinyu chuckled. How was her physique special?

She was clearly used to training. In addition to her killer’s self-cultivation and special made sunblock, no matter how she trained, it would not affect her appearance. That was why she was not tanned.

Yan Jinyu didn’t want to shield herself from the sun, so Chu Xiaohuan shielded herself alone. They were both dragging their luggage, so it wasn’t convenient for the two of them to share an umbrella.

As they chatted, they arrived at the bus station.

She handed her identity card to Zhao Linlin so that she could go buy the bus tickets.

The tickets they bought were for the bus that departed in 20 minutes. It was just nice.

The few of them passed the security check and got onto the bus.

As soon as they put their luggage on the bus, Mo Qian and the two boys got onto the same bus with them.

“I thought you guys had left.” Mo Qian acted familiarly as soon as she got onto the bus.

However, Yan Jinyu and the other two ignored her.

They didn’t even look at her.

Holding her phone, Yan Jinyu and Qin Xuan, who was sitting beside her, were playing games. Chu Xiaohuan, who was sitting with Zhao Linlin, was texting to settle the Chu Corporation’s work.

Mo Qian then turned to Zhao Linlin with a stiff expression. “Linlin, did you call home? Who’s coming to pick you up? If no one is coming, come with us. I can call my cousin to pick you up.”

“No, thank you. My father is coming to pick us up.”

“I see…”

Zhao Linlin sat down. The boy who was chasing her wanted to sit with the other boy, but Mo Qian patted the seat beside her. “Yang Jun, sit here.”

The boy looked at the other boy for help. The boy ignored him.

He could only bite the bullet and sit down beside Mo Qian.

To be honest, if it was in the past, he would definitely be overjoyed that Mo Qian was so warm to him, but today…

He only realized today that Mo Qian’s true self was like this.

In the past, he didn’t know if it was because Mo Qian disguised herself too well or because he thought that she was good in every aspect as he liked her.

Yang Jun sat down and he happened to be sitting back behind Zhao Linlin. He stuck his head out. “Um, Schoolmate Zhao, my name is Yang Jun. The one in front is my roommate. His name is Jiang Xianyou. He also studies jewelry design, but he’s a second-year sophomore. He’ll be promoted to third year next semester.”

“We’re mainly here to experience nature and find inspiration. Our school has a design competition next semester. It’s especially important to students in our major. We’ll be in your village for a few days. Please take care of us.”

“You’re being too polite, Schoolmate Yang.” She was polite but very distant.

Yang Jun couldn’t continue on like this.

He did introduce himself because he was indeed thinking that there was no harm in getting to know them as he would be looking for inspiration in her village for the next few days. He might need their help at any time. He did not expect her to be so cold.

It was a little awkward.

After that, no one spoke again.

Along the way, the few of them either closed their eyes to rest, played games with their phones, or like Yan Jinyu, who played games first and then took out the tablet in her backpack and put on her earphones to watch a drama series with Qin Xuan when she was tired.

Anyway, it was quite relaxing.

However, the four-hour drive and the bumpy road made them rather uncomfortable.

They finally arrived at their destination and got down from the bus. Even Yan Jinyu felt a little sore, let alone the others.

Mo Qian looked at Jiang Xianyou, who had just gotten off the bus and was frowning not far away, and asked Yang Jun, “Yang Jun, is your buddy alright?”

“It’s fine. I guess he has never been on such a bumpy bus before and it was a long journey, he can’t get used to it for a while. As you know, my buddy is a rich kid.”

Of course, she knew that not only was he a rich young master, but Jiang Xianyou was also their straight-A student.

He was very popular in school.

She was on good terms with Yang Jun because Yang Jun and Jiang Xianyou had a good relationship and she wanted to get to know Jiang Xianyou through Yang Jun. That was why she led Yang Jun on and didn’t agree to his pursuit.

“The conditions at my house are indeed not good. It’s very difficult for me to come back usually. It’s normal for you guys to not be used to it.”

“Don’t say that.” Yang Jun frowned slightly. “Alright, where’s the person who is supposed to pick us up? It’ll be dark soon if he doesn’t come.”

“Oh, I’ll make a call.”

While Mo Qian was calling to urge the person who was supposed to come fetch them, Zhao Linlin had already received a call from her father. He said that he had been waiting for them outside the bus station for almost half an hour and wanted them to go over quickly.

The few of them dragged their luggage out of the bus station excitedly. They didn’t seem to be that tired anymore.

On the other side, Mo Qian’s call connected. The other party said something and her expression changed. “What did you say? You can’t come? Second Brother, what’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you call me earlier if you can’t come? I could have gotten someone else to pick me up!”

“My classmate came to my house as a guest. We rushed over from Water City early in the morning. We took a plane and then a bus. You suddenly said that you weren’t coming to pick us up. How do you want me to answer to my schoolmates? It’s almost dark! There’s not even a decent hotel in our town. What do you want me to do?”
