That's it! Yu Qiuchi suddenly remembered that Xie Tingsi was from Jincheng, so this was like going home! It was also her own fault; she hadn't slept all night and her mind was sluggish, so she hadn't thought of it for a moment.
He changed the subject, asking, "Do you have a hamster?"
"It's my friend's, a three-lined hamster, which he's been fostering here!" Xie Tingsi, seeing that Yu Qiuchi had asked about the hamster, didn't feel like his friend had left him with a burden. He presented the hamster to Yu Qiuchi like a treasure.
This hamster looks very well cared for; it's chubby, with shiny, oily skin, and its two little eyes are bright and sparkling. It's looking at Yu Qiuchi, and its pointed ears are twitching. It's incredibly cute!
Yu Qiuchi felt an instant liking for the little creature upon seeing it and asked, "May I touch it?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Tingsi immediately sold the little creature: "It's fine, it doesn't bite, it's very docile."

"Do you have any plans for today?" Xie Tingsi hoped that Yu Qiuchi didn't.
"Not yet, just thinking of wandering around."
As expected, Yu Qiuchi made no arrangements, which was exactly what Xie Tingsi wanted.
"I'll go with you. I'm a true local of Jincheng," Xie Tingsi volunteered.
He patted his chest, indicating that he would take charge of Yu Qiuchi today, looking very proud!
"Sure!" Yu Qiuchi raised an eyebrow. Meeting an acquaintance had dispelled most of the frustration she felt in the morning from having nothing to do.
He joked, "Then I'll have to trouble tour guide Xiao Xie!"
