Chapter 75 Return to Hometown
Tong Yao didn’t know what He Fang was thinking. After selling all her milk tea, she packed up and went home, dropped He Fang off at her house, then headed to the dormitory, only to run into He Fang’s husband. Aqiang seemed to recognize her, staring at her as they crossed paths.
Assuming that He Fang had already put away her supplies, she didn’t think much more of it. However, shortly after she began to walk, she bumped into Si Chen, who had come to pick her up.
Tong Yao felt a warm sense of appreciation. As an officially married couple with positive intentions towards each other, who would be foolish enough to reject such attention from a husband?
Having experienced their previous shopping trip together, Si Chen slowed his walking pace considerably this time, adjusting to Tong Yao’s rhythm and walking alongside her.
"My mother called today and asked us to visit her."
"Funnily enough, I have a couple of days off from selling milk tea. If you have time, let’s go. If you don’t have time, I can go by myself." Tong Yao agreed readily. If Lin Fengying asked them to come back, then there’s no harm in visiting. It wouldn’t cost them anything.
No matter how unrefined the countryside may be, it’s still Si Chen’s home. It’s completely normal to occasionally go back to one’s roots.
Si Chen looked at Tong Yao with surprise. "If you don’t want to go back, it’s fine."
Tong Yao was straightforward. "I don’t hate the countryside. It’s just inconvenient to take baths at home. During my previous stay there, I used to bathe in a basin at night, and Boyi had to help with heating the water and emptying the basin. It felt very awkward."
Whether it was her or the previous homeowner, neither had experienced this kind of life before. The reality of daily bathing with hot water in a basin was inconvenient, and not at all private.
