Chapter 184 - 179: Going to the Provincial City Together
Luo Zhiyong’s perfunctory replies were as uncomfortable for Xu He, who sat beside him, as cat’s claws scratching her heart. Normally, a man would seize every opportunity to speak more, especially with a girl as pretty as her, and would even talk when there was nothing to say.
But Luo Zhiyong answered only what was asked, and his replies were extremely brief, leaving her with no good way to continue the conversation.
After all, her liking for Luo Zhiyong was still hidden in her heart, and what she wanted now was just to get closer to Luo Zhiyong, trying to make sure she stayed in his mind so things could move forward slowly over time.
With Luo Zhiyong’s responses, she simply didn’t know how to proceed.
Seeing that she had finished her questions, Luo Zhiyong prepared to leave to walk around the village and stood up saying, "I’m going to..."
But Xu He pretended not to notice Luo Zhiyong’s intent to leave, and while blinking, she asked, "Oh, by the way, Brother Zhiyong, when are you going back to the provincial city this time?"
Luo Zhiyong had already stood up and did not sit back down. He stood and replied to Xu He, "Tomorrow. I came back because there’s something I need to do."
"That’s perfect. I was planning to go to the provincial city in a few days too. Tomorrow I’ll go with you, ok?" Xu He, fearing rejection, blinked timidly, "This is my first time going to the provincial city, and my parents are worried, and I’m a bit scared too. I’m not sure how to find the place my uncle mentioned."
Without much thought, and considering doing a favor for someone in the village, Luo Zhiyong immediately agreed, "Alright then. You should come early tomorrow; we’ll probably head to the village’s main road to catch the bus, don’t be late."
"Great! Then I’ll go back and pack my things." Xu He was elated. She didn’t know that Luo Zhiming would also be leaving tomorrow and thought she would get to spend time alone with Luo Zhiyong, so she couldn’t wait to go home and pack. She then smiled sweetly at Luo Zhiyong, "Brother Zhiyong, I’ll head back now."
