Chapter 197: Enthusiasm
Could it be that my imitation of my older female cousin was unsuccessful? Absolutely impossible! I am a top student! There’s no way it could fail! Wang Yongzhu declared her disbelief with conviction.
As she touched her face, Wang Yongzhu suddenly had an epiphany!
Indeed, this is a society that judges by appearance; with her current face, her physique.
Even if she were to imitate Xishi clutching her heart, the result would only be akin to Dongshi’s grimace.
Forget it, let’s not harbor any delusions—just honestly walk the path of mutual benefit!
The most important lesson her parents from the previous world had taught her was that the most solid relationships in this world are those based on mutual interest! Everything can be betrayed, but mutual benefits never betray!
Thinking back to that godforsaken love mission, the early stages of intimacy, confidants, and kindred spirits, all those achievements could be maintained through mutual interests, right? As for the ultimate goal of "love stronger than gold," that requires even more shared interests! Sneakily changing tactics should work, right? Wang Yongzhu pondered.
Below, at the bottom of the slope, the carts had been hauled up, and the escort team rearranged things, starting to prepare their meals.
In this desolate wilderness, this was the only place with an open space, and a small river nearby, which the team used as a resting spot.
Since they had to hit the road, nobody dared to waste time. All they did was fetch water from the river, boil a pot of water, cook some salted meat and selected mountain goods together, and distribute a few pieces of hard, cold cakes to each person to eat with the hot soup. That was already quite a treat.
Wang Yongzhu, as a major contributor, and Wang Yongping were invited by Steward Lu to join them by the fire.
