âItâs a nice name.â
âThatâŠ
â Yang Ruxin actually hoped that he would call her âSister Xinâ instead, but considering this wasnât the imperial capital from her previous life, she didnât mind and waved it off, âWhatever you like.â
âDoes Xinxin know how to read?â Gu Qingheng suddenly asked.
âIâŠâ Yang Ruxin was about to say that she had graduated from college, but she quickly swallowed her words, realizing that would give her away, and hastily shook her head, âHow could the Yang Family allow me to study?
Itâs just that my younger cousin and second uncle sometimes pretentiously recite from memory at home, and I learned a few idioms from them.â She guessed that her use of the phrase âflourishingâ had aroused his suspicion, and she realized she would have to be more careful with her words in the future.
While they were talking, the Feng Familyâs wife came out with a small basket: âThe eggs are boiled.â
âThank you,â Yang Ruxin took the basket, but then she froze, âAunt Feng, isnât there a mistake?
I only have two eggs.â But there were six eggs in the basket.
âAlthough Iâm not very familiar with the people in the village, I also know that your family has several younger siblings.
How can two eggs be enough?â Feng Familyâs wife smiled, âHurry back, they are still hot and good for eating.â
Yang Ruxin felt strangely moved and her nose began to tingle.
âAyao, you escort DaniâŠ
Xinxin out,â Gu Qingheng spoke up, âItâs inconvenient for a girl to walk alone at night.â
âOh,â Gu Yao nodded, then suddenly frowned.
Xinxin?
When did they become so close?
But Gu Qingheng couldnât see Gu Yaoâs surprise, so naturally, he couldnât resolve his confusion.
âI wonât be coy, Iâll accept the eggs, thank you Aunt Feng,â Yang Ruxin, touched by the Feng Family wifeâs action, didnât notice Gu Yaoâs constipated expression, and carefully placed the eggs into a pottery jar, then turned to Gu Qingheng, âNow we are even.â
The corners of Gu Qinghengâs mouth curved up slightly.
Even?
How could that be?
âNo need to escort me, I can manage on my own,â Yang Ruxin waved to the family and turned to leave.
Gu Yao followed her out but came back very quickly.
âYou sent her back that quickly?â Feng Familyâs wife looked at Gu Yao with surprise.
Their house was some distance from the village, and it would take at least fifteen minutes to get to the Yang Familyâs place, especially at night.
âThat Yang Dani runs faster than a rabbit; I had to use Qinggong to catch up with her, and from a distance, I saw her vault over the wall back homeâŠâ Gu Yao was exasperated, if it werenât for the fact that he had tested her before and found she had no Inner Strength, he would have suspected she was a hidden martial arts master.
The smile on Gu Qinghengâs face grew deeper; the more he interacted with that girl, the more interesting she seemed to him.
Speaking of Yang Ruxin, after leaving the Gu Familyâs courtyard, she put the eggs into her space.
Upon arriving at her own roomâs door, she took them out again; however, she only took out two, leaving the other four in the space.
She had conducted an experiment with hot water in there before, and upon entering, she found the water was still the same temperature as when she put it in, which meant that the space could maintain the substanceâs original state.
So keeping the eggs there, there was no worry they would spoil.
After all, given the current conditions, it wasnât possible to eat all the eggs at once; these two would suffice to satisfy their cravings for now.
Before she could knock, the door creaked open.
