"Comrade Jiang, what...what's wrong?" Hobens tensed up and asked quickly.
"May I visit your home today? Your grandfather gave me a fish before, and last time I successfully joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I went to your house to express my gratitude, but I didn't get to see Mr. Huo. This time, I must go and thank you."
Upon hearing this, Hobbens stammered, "No, no, no need, my grandfather... no, he can!"
Hobbens paused halfway through his refusal, then quickly nodded, "Of course, shall we leave together in a bit?"
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Okay."
"However, my husband has been using our bicycle lately."
Mentioning her husband calmed Hobbens' racing heart, and she forced a smile. "It's nothing, I rode my bicycle today."
"Thank you," Jiang Ci said immediately.
The two left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together.

Hobbens was very frustrated throughout the journey; how did things turn out this way?
When he came to his senses, he was startled again.
How could he let Jiang Ci give him a ride!
"Comrade Jiang, how about... how about I give you a ride?"
"I'm a big man and I'm heavy. You'll get tired after riding for a while!"
Hobbs quickly spoke up from behind.
"No need, just sit down, we'll be at your house soon."
Jiang Ci refused, leaving with a retort, and pedaled her bicycle with all her might.
Hobbs was getting a bit flustered in the back, scratching his head so hard he almost scratched his hair bald.
He had a pained look on his face, clearly quite worried.
