Chapter 374: Bottom Out and Rebound
"Miss San, don't worry about me. I won't cause you any trouble when I go out." Lao Liu said anxiously.
Qin Xiangnuan said, "I'm not worried about this. What I was thinking was, maybe your parents and brother will come back in a few days. Then, do you want to stay with your family or stay with me?"
Lao Liu was stunned, unable to make a decision for a moment. He just asked Qin Xiangnuan: "Is there something wrong with them? Doesn't Master Jiang want them anymore?"
Qin Xiangnuan smiled and shook her head, "It's not because of this matter, it's a bit complicated to explain..."
Lao Liu then listened to Qin Xiangnuan's brief explanation of the reason and breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's why."
Qin Xiangnuan nodded, "So you think about what to do next."
Lao Liu opened his mouth, then closed it again after uttering the word 'I'. "Miss San, can you give me a moment to think?"
"Of course." Qin Xiangnuan said, "We will leave in a few days. We will still be here before your family comes. You just need to give me the answer before you leave."
Lao Liu curled his lips and thanked Qin Xiangnuan, "Then Miss San, I'll go back to my room first."
Looking at Lao Liu's departing back, Qin Xiangnuan couldn't help but sigh that time always teaches a person to grow. Now for Lao Liu, his family and what he wants to do can be compared.
The next day, Qin Xiangnuan did not see Lao Liu at the dinner table. She heard from Liu that she saw him hurried out early in the morning, and she didn't know what he was busy doing.
Qin Guang, who was also busy, set off after breakfast. This time he rode alone so that he could go faster.
Qin Xiangnuan was also preparing for the trip. She stayed in the market all day, explaining things that needed to be paid attention to to those who were going with her.
However, at noon, Li Yu Ran also came over.
"Nuannuan, I've made up my mind." Li Yuran said sternly.
Qin Xiangnuan was having dinner with the vendors at that time. She turned her head and saw that Li Yuran was more serious than ever before. A mouthful of food got stuck in her throat and she forced it down.
"What have you decided to do?" Qin Xiangnuan asked.
"I want to go on a long journey with you." Li Yu Ran said resolutely.
"..." Qin Xiangnuan looked at Li Yuran's expression and guessed that she had made this decision after a great struggle. Qin Xiangnuan didn't want to persuade her, but just asked her why.
Li Yuran was obviously well prepared. He did not hear Qin Xiangnuan's direct refusal and quietly loosened his clenched fists in a place where no one was paying attention.
Qin Xiangnuan moved her position so that Li Yuran could sit next to her.
After Li Yu Ran sat down, he saw a circle of vendors surrounding him. The momentum he had just built up had completely disappeared.
"They..." Li Yuran murmured.
Qin Xiangnuan raised her eyes and noticed that the vendor looked at Li Yuran with an inquiring gaze after hearing what Li Yuran said.
"They are all going on a long journey with me." Qin Xiangnuan said.
Li Yuran's body froze for a moment, then he stood up and bowed to them. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I will be with you. Please bear with me."
This action shocked everyone, including Qin Xiangnuan.
"Yu Ran." Qin Xiangnuan chuckled, "Sit down first."
Qin Xiangnuan looked at the people around her, all of whom had puzzled expressions on their faces. She didn't know how to react to what Li Yuran said.
The vendors had heard of Li Yuran's existence earlier than Qin Xiangnuan, and they also knew that she looked more like a young lady from an official family than Qin Xiangnuan. Such a person sitting here at this moment would find it difficult to fit in.
If they stayed together for the long haul, no one would doubt that she would give up halfway, and they didn't want such trouble.
Qin Xiangnuan could guess a little bit of the vendor's thoughts. She turned her head to look at Li Yuran, who was clenching her fists, called her softly a few times, and held her hand.
"Don't be in a hurry." Qin Xiangnuan hadn't decided to let Li Yuran go with her yet, but she herself had decided that they would go together.
Li Yuran turned his head and looked at Qin Xiangnuannuan with blank eyes.
"You haven't told me why you are going." Qin Xiangnuan reminded.
Li Yuran's eyes flashed, and then he said to Qin Xiangnuan: "After I parted with you that day, I went home and asked my father. My father said that I didn't know anything and there was nothing I could do outside the house."
Qin Xiangnuan lowered her eyes and listened. As Li Yuran spoke, he became a little depressed.
"My brothers also advised me not to dwell on irrelevant things, saying that I was a young lady raised in a family and couldn't lift or carry anything. I should just stay at home and do my best."
Li Yu Ran was immersed in his own emotions and did not notice that the vendors were secretly listening to Li Yu Ran's words, and after hearing what he said, they all nodded silently in their hearts.
They also viewed Li Yuran in this way, and believed that what her family said was very pertinent.
"Nuannuan, did you look at me like this before?" Li Yuran suddenly pointed the finger at Qin Xiangnuan, "Is that why you didn't answer me that day?"
Qin Xiangnuan shook her head and opened her mouth to speak when she saw that Li Yuran's expression had changed.
Changing his previous lost look, Li Yuran's eyes sparkled, "I'm not afraid of you thinking of me like this. I have to do something to impress all of you."
That's why Li Yuran appeared here at this time, determined to go on a long journey with Qin Xiangnuan.
Qin Xiangnuan never thought that Li Yuran had rebounded from rock bottom. She was not discouraged by the attacks from others, but instead had to prove herself that she was different from what everyone else thought.
"Have you thought it through?" Qin Xiangnuan felt that with Li Yuran's personality, he would not be easily defeated if he encountered difficulties on the road, and there might be unexpected results.
Li Yuran heard a hint of agreement from Qin Xiangnuan's question, and nodded without hesitation, "I had thought it through thoroughly before coming here. I must go."
"Okay, let's go together." Qin Xiangnuan smiled. "It just so happens that I was telling them about the journey today. You can come and listen."
After hearing this, Li Yu Ran showed his first smile since arriving at the market, and when he looked back at the vendors, he smiled wholeheartedly without hesitation.
The vendors responded to Li Yuran's smile somewhat awkwardly. Some were moved by what Li Yuran had just said, while others thought that Li Yuran was just speaking on impulse, and if something really happened, they might be scared to tears soon.
After looking at Li Yu Ran, the vendors all lowered their heads and continued to eat their lunch which was interrupted by Li Yu Ran's appearance.
Qin Xiangnuan looked at Li Yuran, who looked completely refreshed, and her whole body was saying, "I'm so happy."
But Qin Xiangnuan still needed to remind Li Yuran, "If you want to go out with me, you must get your parents' consent."
