Her colleagues next door complained, "There’s always something happening with your place, it’s not rumors then it’s a fire."

The colleagues sent Liao Fan to go with her.
Since Xun Dong had gone to the provincial city, Li Qiao didn’t need to ask for leave; she simply informed a couple of colleagues and went to the courtyard house with Liao Fan.

Li Qiao: "He went back to the countryside early in the morning to fish so he could make me a meal."
Liao Fan: "...." Showing off for nothing! With nothing to do all day, Loser Qin would be chasing dogs, chasing chickens, fishing. Going out of his way, has reading books made him dumb? Sigh! She’s so delighted to be charmed by a man twirling around her finger.
