Lu Zheng had not received any definite follow-up information, and he couldn't just casually share their internal speculations or rumors.

Seeing that Zhu Qinghao was not fixated on the topic, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his mind racing as he tried to think of a different topic to continue the conversation.

"Yeah, it's okay. If I hear anything and we happen to run into each other again, I'll definitely tell you, okay?"

Zhu Qinghao didn't take these words seriously, but she still agreed with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Officer Lu."

Lu Zheng was infected by her smile and also smiled.

"No need to be polite, meeting is fate."

After saying that, as if afraid that Zhu Qinghao wouldn't respond, he changed the subject to the next one.

"The fields in Northeast China must be quite busy right now, right? How's it going? You people who grew up in the city, are you able to adapt after going to the countryside?"

Zhu Qinghao thought about herself and Si Tian, ​​then about the group of new and old educated youth at the educated youth settlement, and carefully replied:

"Well, it depends on the person. I think most of the comrades are adapting quite well. Of course, there are definitely some who are not adapting well, but everyone is doing okay."

Lu Zheng nodded, and taking advantage of the moment, subtly steered the conversation toward Sheng Yi.

"Is that so? Then I see that the man traveling with you is also an educated youth sent to the countryside. He has an injury on his hand. Did he get it while doing farm work?"

The injuries look quite serious. If they were indeed sustained during reincarnation, then you should be careful. Otherwise, you'll be the one who suffers and suffers when you get hurt.

Zhu Qinghao originally wanted to explain that the injury on Sheng Yi's hand was not from doing farm work, but thinking that the two of them didn't have much interaction to begin with and probably wouldn't in the future, she decided to let it go.

"Okay, I'll be careful, thank you Officer Lu."

For the first time, Lu Zheng felt annoyed, realizing he had asked too many questions at once, so much so that Zhu Qinghao only answered the ones she wanted to answer, completely ignoring Sheng Yi's identity.

It's alright, he's thick-skinned.

"Well, you're welcome. I see you're traveling together, so are you all from Kyoto and going to the same rural area?"

Even though Zhu Qinghao was slow-witted, she could tell that Lu Zheng wanted to find out Sheng Yi's identity, and she glanced at him.

Upon meeting her gaze, Lu Zheng, perhaps fearing Zhu Qing might overthink things, quickly explained:

"Don't overthink it. I just didn't see anyone with you when you went back, but you saw that guy with you when you came back, so I was just asking."

I really didn't mean anything by it. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't.

Zhu Qinghao thought about it and realized it made sense. When she returned to Kyoto, she was alone, but now that she was going back to the countryside, she suddenly had someone with her. It was normal for others to find it strange.

"It's okay, there's nothing I can't talk about."

He wasn't one of the educated youth who went to the countryside with me; he's my boyfriend…

After Zhu Qinghao left, Sheng Yi stayed in his seat, waiting and waiting, but she didn't come back. Fearing that something might have happened to Zhu Qinghao outside, he went out to look for her.

As a result, he saw her talking to Lu Zheng from afar, and she was even showing that incredibly attractive smile to others, which immediately made his face turn sour.

Of course, he wasn't being kind to Zhu Qing; he just thought Lu Zheng was incredibly shameless, trying every possible way to pester his daughter Hao Hao.

At that moment, some people had an idea in their minds:

He was determined to make Lu Zheng understand that Hao Hao belonged to Sheng Yi, and not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could covet her!
