"No need. I'm already full." She looked up at Sun Xuelin with a helpless expression, as if looking at a glutton. "You really don't hold back."
"Of course. It's not easy to have a chance to eat my fill, how could I let such a good opportunity pass by? If I have more food in my stomach, I won't feel hungry even if I don't eat tomorrow."
In Sun Xuelin's mind, Su Ying had already treated them to a meal, and since they were in a hurry to get back to Liushu Village the next day, they would definitely be eating water along the way.
If I don't eat more today, I'll definitely be hungry again tomorrow.
After everyone had walked away, Gu Sinian stared intently at her, "Don't do anything so stupid next time, understand?"
"ah?"
What stupid thing did she do? This man is utterly inexplicable.
"Inviting someone to dinner and letting them eat whatever they want? Do you really think this is a buffet restaurant in Shanghai?"
"There are no more buffet restaurants in Shanghai now. The political climate has changed again, making everyone feel uneasy. Those with some wealth have already fled to Hong Kong."
"Then why don't you go?"
That's a good question. She does want to go, but Hong Kong doesn't have you, does it?
What's the use of a place being prosperous without you? Besides, times have changed. She has awakened her spatial ability. With her spatial ability and the inheritance left to her by her mother, she can live well anywhere.
There's no need to go to Hong Kong. The current situation is sensitive; if you go to Hong Kong, you won't be able to come back until the time of reform and opening up.
And all she wants in this life is to stay by his side.
The life in Hong Kong that she had always longed for in her past life, since she was destined never to go there, meant that she was destined to never be in Hong Kong. After being reborn, it seemed to become less important...
With space, she can live well anywhere and won't suffer losses. As long as she can endure until the reform and opening up, and seize the opportunities of the times, she might really become a wealthy tycoon.
Besides, she has so many supplies in her space that it'll last her for a while. She can come back to the East Market again when she has the chance.
By the time the four of them came out of the state-run restaurant, it was almost dark, and it was already six o'clock in the evening.
She had just heard that it would take about five hours to get back to Liushu Village from the East Market Railway Station, and that the oxcart was incredibly slow.
It's almost six o'clock now, and if she keeps traveling, she won't get back to Liushu Village until close to midnight. She doesn't want to sleep by the roadside late at night.
Although she had the space, she couldn't use it in front of outsiders; she understood the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
It takes so long to get from Liushu Village to the train station. Now that we've finally arrived at the Dongshi train station, we'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't stock up on some supplies.
It's very difficult to get out of Liushu Village. We need to hurry up and stock up on supplies, otherwise it will be more troublesome to get out in the future. After going to the countryside, we have to work every day and don't have many opportunities to get out. We must seize this opportunity to purchase goods.
"It's getting late, and it's not safe to walk at night. Why don't we stay at the guesthouse for the night?"
Qiao Xiyan strongly agreed with this suggestion. Walking at night is too dangerous, especially since there was a murder case nearby, which was quite frightening.
"I agree. Let's stay at the guesthouse for the night before going back; it's quite dangerous to travel at night."
Gu Sinian didn't offer any opinion. He didn't care what she did, as long as the little girl was happy. If she didn't like traveling at night, then she could stay there.
But his pockets were empty, and he didn't have any extra money to pay for the guesthouse.
"No, that won't do. I don't have any money. My dad asked me to come and pick up you educated youths without any payment. I don't have a single penny on me. Actually, I don't like traveling at night; it's quite dangerous. You can discuss it yourselves and just help me pay for the room."
Gu Sinian was speechless at his shameless and blatant attitude.
If he doesn't have money, he doesn't have money. But don't be so shameless. It's obvious he's asking the two female educated youths for money, since he doesn't have any either.
Qiao Xiyan didn't have much money or cash in her pocket to begin with, so there was no way anyone would spend a single penny of hers. She pretended to be very busy, looking left and right, up and down, but ignoring everyone else.
Su Ying originally wanted to split the room cost with Qiao Xiyan, but Qiao Xiyan didn't even glance at her. Helpless, she looked up at the sky and realized that Qiao Xiyan was just taking advantage of her. After all, she couldn't be as shameless as Qiao Xiyan.
Su Ying seemed to sense Gu Sinian's embarrassment and said directly, "As usual, I'll cover the room fees for Comrade Sun and Comrade Gu, and Qiao Zhiqing can pay her own share."
"On what grounds?"
"I'm not a sucker. I'm only responsible for the person who came to pick me up, right, Qiao Zhiqing?"
Qiao Xiyan was speechless after being rebuked. She glared at Su Ying and thought, "This woman from Shanghai is really annoying. She's always going against me and making me look bad in front of Gu Sinian."
Just you wait, don't let her find a fault with you, or you'll be sorry.
After agreeing on a plan, the group headed towards the guesthouse, leaving behind their long shadows.
