Chapter 1051: Lantern Festival (6)
She actually had this intention; otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken a whole goldfish bowl with just one yuan. That would be downright unreasonable.
When Jiaojiao and the others left with the bucket, the shopkeeper’s previously sour expression was replaced with joy. Ecstatic, he followed them for a short stretch before turning back to clean up his stall.
The group wandered through many other places after that, until the time grew late and everyone gathered at the designated spot to say their goodbyes.
Yu Rou, knowing Jiaojiao and her group were leaving soon, felt reluctant to part with her new friend. The two young girls stood together chatting for quite a while. They exchanged phone numbers and mailing addresses before finally, reluctantly separating.
Jiang Bin and the others watched as Jiaojiao’s group boarded their car, only then getting into theirs.
Jiang Bin drove, with Jiang Xun and Yu Rou seated in the back.
The two cousins had always been rather silent around each other, so much like on their way to the outing, they sat on opposite sides of the backseat, gazing at the street outside blanketed with lanterns.
Nearly wordless along the entire ride back to the Jiang Family’s residence, when they stepped out of the car, Jiang Xun suddenly called out to Yu Rou, who was walking ahead: "Yu Rou."
"What is it, cousin?" Yu Rou frowned as she turned back, her tone showing some dissatisfaction with him calling her by her full name.
Jiang Xun seemed hesitant, staring at her for a long while without saying anything. Just as Yu Rou ran out of patience, he extended his hand toward her: "Jiaojiao’s phone number—lend it to me to copy."
