Chapter 144. Gratitude
Walking along, they asked at several places, but either there were no rooms left, or only one was available.
If it were just their family, squeezing into one room might be manageable, after all, Hua Jin was still quite young.
But Qin Shu needed at least two rooms; he couldn’t just bring someone along and then ignore them. That wasn’t something he, as a parent, could do.
So they had to keep asking. Fortunately, the North Street was quite large, likely because it was close to the examination institute, there were indeed many inns, big and small.
After asking at several inns and returning disappointed, they once again walked into a fairly large looking inn.
The inn’s grand facade alone would intimidate most people from entering, as going in meant spending money.
However, Hua Chengtian let out a sigh of relief. With an inn this big, there might be some hope.
Standing at the inn’s entrance, Qin Shu hesitated. Though his parents gave him some silver when he left, such a nice inn surely required a lot of silver coin for just one night, and touching the money pouch in his bosom, he thought of how hard-earned every penny was at home, rendering him unable to move his foot.
"Qin Shu," realizing his friend hadn’t followed him in, Hua Yunao turned back out.
"Yun Ao, this inn..." Qin Shu revealed a trace of embarrassment in his expression.
