"Zhou Xiao, smile..."

"You and Danheng are standing on either side of me with cold faces, as if Xing is a criminal you've arrested..."

At this moment, March 7th was taking pictures of Zhou Xiao, Xing, and Dan Heng under a building with her small camera.

Xingmei, standing between Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng, was very reserved, while Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng had little expression on their faces, which made it seem as if Xingmei had committed some crime and been arrested.

Seeing the effect of the photo, March 7 secretly vowed that she would never stand between Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng in a photo again.

"Alright... let's go check out the next attraction!" March 7th said to the group after putting away the photos.

...

For the rest of the afternoon, March 7th seemed to have kept Zhou Xiao there just for a casual stroll, without taking any further action.

Perhaps she was hesitating, looking for the right moment, a time when she could be alone with Zhou Xiao, and then casually bring up the topic of what type of girl she liked, as if jokingly asking Zhou Xiao's opinion of her...

Unfortunately... she hasn't found it yet.

...

"Zhou Xiao, look at these flowers... which bouquet looks the best?"

In the Changxia Flower Shop in the upper administrative district, March 7th held several bunches of flowers of different shapes and colors and looked at Zhou Xiao with a happy expression, asking him a question.

"Forehead..."

Zhou Xiao frowned slightly and glanced at the flowers in March 7's arms.

To be honest, he wasn't interested in which of the flowers was the prettiest; what he really wanted to know was when March 7th would finally be over.

"This one..."

Zhou Xiao casually pointed to a bunch of things, indicating that he had been sitting there for more than half an hour, hence the casual gesture.

"Then...this one." March 7th smiled and then took out her money to buy the bouquet of flowers that she thought Zhou Xiao would like.

Xingmei stared at March 7's face, her right hand unconsciously touching her chin. In the depths of her mind, she seemed to sense a whiff of gossip.

Something's not right.

Something's definitely not right...

Could it be that this March... he really wants to be my teacher's wife?

...

After leaving the flower shop, Danheng felt quite bored. Compared to taking photos and checking off landmarks in various places like March 7th, he preferred staying on the train organizing think tank activities, so he decided to leave first.

Upon hearing that Dan Heng was leaving, Zhou Xiao naturally wanted to leave as well. After all, he felt the same way as Dan Heng; clocking in was boring, and it would be better to go back to the train and ask Ji Zi for funds and wages.

"Hey, you can't leave yet, you...you can't leave either."

March 7th hurriedly stopped Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng.

She didn't mind Dan Heng leaving. Although she wanted to be alone with Zhou Xiao, she knew that if Dan Heng left, Zhou Xiao would inevitably leave as well, which was a result she didn't want to see.

"Hmm?" Dan Heng frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng's puzzled expressions, March 7th felt her not-so-bright brain was working at its limit. She pointed to Xingmei, who was looking at the bookstall not far away:

"This newcomer... this newcomer! Her first exploration trip wasn't going well to begin with, do you two really want her experience of the local customs and culture to be even worse after her first exploration mission...?"

Star Girl: Stunned.

Xingmei seemed a little stunned when she heard that her name had been called.

How come... I'm being mentioned again?

The mention of March 7th drew the attention of both Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng to Xingmei.

Should newcomers have a protection period on the train?

Looking into March 7's pleading eyes, Xingmei could only nod silently.

She's right...

"I see..." Facing Xingmei, a newcomer, Danheng paused for a second before asking, "So what do you want to do now?"

"I?"

Suddenly empowered, Xingmei straightened her clothes, straightened her back slightly, glanced around, and finally pointed to the bookstall not far away: "I want to go and look at some books... to daydream by the fountain, and then... take a tram ride."

Reading... spacing out, riding the tram?

Dan Heng didn't care.

Zhou Xiao yawned and urged everyone to hurry up.

Seeing that Zhou Xiao had been kept behind, March 7 breathed a sigh of relief again. When Zhou Xiao and Dan Heng couldn't see, she put her hands together in gratitude to Xing Mei.

Xing is a good person... that's what she was thinking at that moment.

Seeing March 7th's grateful expression, Xingmei walked over and whispered, "March... what are you up to?"

What's going on?

Upon hearing this question, March 7 hesitated for two seconds before answering softly, "I want to be alone with Zhou Xiao and ask him what kind of girl he likes..."

This answer was within Xingmei's expectations, but she was still quite shocked.

"I treated you like a sister... and you actually want to be my master's wife?!"

Although she sensed from their first meeting that March 7th's relationship with her master seemed unusual, with an air of unease...

but...

Back then, it was just a feeling... Now, on March 7th, it's like I've made it clear to her.

This melon is guaranteed to ripen...

Some bumped into things.

...

ah?

Master's wife...?

March 7th was also a little confused by Xingmei's use of the word "master's wife," as she seemed rather dim-witted.

Zhou Xiao is Xingmei's master, so if she gets together with Zhou Xiao... wouldn't she become his master's wife?

"Oh dear! It can't be that fast, and... we don't even know if Zhou Xiao likes my type... how could I possibly become your master's wife?"

March 7th explained incoherently, her face turning red again at a visible speed.

...

"Hey, hey, hey, weren't you going to look at the bookstall? What are you two doing in the back?"

Zhou Xiao, who had already reached the bookstall, turned around and saw that Xingmei and March 7 were still standing in the same spot without moving. He was a little puzzled, so he asked loudly.

"I'm here!" March 7th replied, then said to Xingmei, "Remember to keep it a secret..."

"Keep it a secret..."

Xingmei wondered... was there any need to keep this a secret anymore? They were already asking Zhou Xiao what kind of girl he liked, so who could they keep this secret from?

Watching the figure chasing after her on March 7th, Xingmei pondered for a moment.

Does the master really like the seventh day of the third month?

Why does she always feel like the possibility is slim...?

...

"What were you two talking about just now?" Zhou Xiao asked as March 7th approached.

"Ah, nothing... we were just talking about whether I should buy some of Berloberg's literary classics or some novels or autobiographies later..." March 7th cleared his throat and answered Zhou Xiao.

"You? Literature? Classics? Reading?"

Zhou Xiao remained silent.

He couldn't connect these three words with March 7th...
