"Hey, Lu Wa, where are you? I've been looking for you for a long time, now you're gone!"

As soon as Lu Sheng and Qin Shuang walked out of the door, Cheng Jiahe jumped out from somewhere and shouted at Lu Sheng.

Seeing Qin Shuang standing by the side, he raised his thick eyebrows again and said with a playful smile, "Oh, Lu Wazi's wife is here too. I'm sorry to bother you two. I'll lend you my husband!"

He stretched out his long arms and put them around Lu Sheng's shoulders, smiling as always.

Qin Shuang rolled his eyes at him, not wanting to pay attention to him, and turned around and walked into the room.

Lu Sheng looked at Qin Shuang and shouted from behind, "Shuangshuang, I'm going to go to Brother Yong's house and will be back for dinner!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Sheng and Cheng Jiahe left in a huff. Qin Shuang was a little bored and was about to go in when suddenly, a familiar figure flashed past the door.

Her heart couldn't help but tighten. Why did this figure look so familiar?

She turned her head and was about to step through the door when suddenly a person flashed into her mind.

He, it’s him!

Her eyes widened, and before she could react, she immediately chased after him.

But when I chased to the path outside, it was empty, not a single person.

She looked around for a long time but still couldn't find anyone. She was a little discouraged and was about to turn around and go home when a clear voice sounded from behind her, "Hello, may I ask, do you know how to get to Cheng Lusheng's house?"

She turned her head, and when her eyes met that familiar face, her beautiful eyes widened and her whole body froze in place.

It’s him, it’s really him!

She was trying to control her emotions and make sure she was not seeing things.

"Hello...Excuse me..."

Seeing Qin Shuang's abnormal expression, Zhang Qing hesitated to speak. He couldn't help but frowned, and suddenly remembered, "It's you!"

★★★

After returning home, Qin Shuang served Zhang Qing a cup of tea. A Niang took Yan Sheng out to pay New Year's greetings to several uncles and might not be back until after dinner.

"Why are you here? Are you Cheng Lusheng's wife?" Putting down the gift in his hand, Zhang Qing asked again.

Qin Shuang nodded gently, "Yes!"

She sat down on the stool in front of him.

Zhang Qing pursed his lips and looked at the simple teacup in front of him, "What did you say before..."

"It's him!"

Zhang Qing was interrupted by Qin Shuang before he could finish his words. He opened his mouth, but his throat choked and he closed it again.

"What about you? Why are you here?"

Qin Shuang skipped the topic and tried to understand his identity and purpose.

"Oh! That's it!" Zhang Qing said quickly, "My dad used to work with Lu Sheng in the mine, but later on, Lu Sheng stopped coming. My dad likes him very much and says he is hardworking. Ben helped him a lot when he was in the mine, so my dad asked me to bring some gifts to his family, as a New Year's greeting! I couldn't find Lu outside just now, so I found you!"

Qin Shuang frowned slightly, and had a general understanding of the relationship between the two, but now was not the time for her to care.

"and you……"

Zhang Qing wanted to ask something, but Qin Shuang stood up, closed the door, walked over to his side, and knelt down.

Zhang Qing was startled and quickly reached out to pull her. Qin Shuang shook her head and looked up and said, "Student Zhang, I know you are weird, but I did look for you before. What I told you before was all true. I am from the imperial capital. I was accidentally stranded here because of a bad guy's scheme. I didn't expect to come here and be trapped. It's been almost a year, and I haven't found a chance to escape. Can you help me?"

She looked at him earnestly, she knew that this was her only chance.

Zhang Qing's face froze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He quickly grabbed her arm and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't help you. Hurry up and get up!"

Qin Shuang smiled, and her heart slowly calmed down. She raised her little face and said, "Are you serious? Are you really willing to help me?"

“Yes…I…”

Zhang Qing was about to speak when suddenly a noisy sound came from outside.
