Chapter 381 - 378: Regarded as a Flood Beast
For Qin Liuxi, Jing Xiaosi’s refusal was entirely within her expectations; she wasn’t upset because she truly did intend to repay the kindness of hitching a ride. If he didn’t want it, that was his choice, and she would not impose herself.
Moreover, she had a hunch that they would meet again.
Sure enough, on the second day, around noon at a tea stall on the official road to Xiangnan where they had stopped for a rest, she encountered their group once more.
"Brother Xiong, what a coincidence." Qin Liuxi helped Si Lengyue off the cart, waving cheerfully at Xiong Er.
Upon seeing them, the pancake in Xiong Er’s hand dropped, and he stared at them dumbfounded: "How come you’re here, and where are you heading?"
"Oh, we’re also heading to Xiangnan," Qin Liuxi said with a chuckle, pointing to the horse carriage. "Finally hired a carriage, no need to hitch rides anymore."
Heading to Xiangnan as well?
Without thinking, Xiong Er glanced towards Jing Xiaosi, and sure enough, the latter’s face was as dark as ink, his eyes somewhat shadowy.
"Well, that is quite a coincidence," Xiong Er forced a smile.
Jing Xiaosi slammed his chopsticks on the table with a snap, stood up, and flung his sleeves: "I’ve lost my appetite, let’s hit the road."
Xiong Er felt even more embarrassed but could only tell Qin Liuxi and her companion: "Well, ladies, until we meet again."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "Take care, Brother Xiong."
