Everyone looked over.
Lan Tingting's voice immediately became softer, "No, I, I mean, why don't I just walk there..."
"I'm sorry, this is the only car we can get right now," Bai Jing shook her head gently, "The village is quite remote, and it may take several hours to get there."
Lan Tingting's expression changed suddenly.
How many hours walking?
Can she still have her legs?!
Bai Jing looked at her expression and smiled very considerately.
"It's just an ordinary little village, nothing to see. If you're only interested in South Town, you can stay in the town."
Seeing that Lu Liang and Shu Xiaoruan had already sat down, Lan Tingting turned her eyes to Zhou Lie and spoke in a soft tone.
"I'm the only one left here, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen..."
...
...
After all, the Lan family and the Zhou family are old acquaintances. Even for the sake of his elders, Brother Zhou would not leave her here alone.
If he is willing to stay with her, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to enhance their relationship? !
Zhou Lie glanced at Shu Xiaoruan, then his gaze fell on Bai Jing. She had a faint smile on her face, and it seemed like she was planning something bad, with a deep look in her eyes.
After thinking for a few seconds, he turned to look at Lan Tingting and spoke in a deep voice.
"I happen to know a comrade here. If you plan to stay in town, I can ask him to arrange for someone to look after your safety."
All of his comrades are disciplined and upright, and are naturally trustworthy.
Lan Tingting felt depressed.
What is so charming about Bai Jing that Zhou Lie must follow her home!
She hesitated for a while, finally took a deep breath, put a smile on her face again, and stepped into the car.
"Since I'm here, I might as well follow along and take a look."
The rest of the journey was shaking and bumpy. Lan Tingting's legs were weak and her waist was numb. She felt like she was about to vomit.
After more than an hour of struggling, we finally arrived at our destination.
When she got out of the car, she still felt a buzzing in her ears, her head was dizzy, and there was an indescribable smell in the air.
Looking down, I found that I was walking on a wet and rotten dirt road. There were some mud spots on the smooth toes of my shoes, and the stone slabs on the side were covered with dark green moss.
Free-range chickens clucked by her feet, their tails wagging and pattering to leave her little souvenirs.
Lan Tingting really felt like she was going to vomit now.
Just at this time Shu Xiaoruan also got out of the car. She didn't stand firmly and was about to fall to the ground. Zhou Lie, who was standing beside her, quickly grabbed her.
The man's arms were muscular and full of strength.
Shu Xiaoruan blushed slightly and thanked him quietly.
When Lan Tingting saw it, she hurriedly wanted to move over, but unexpectedly Lu Liang happened to pass by and bumped into his shoulder.
Lu Liang looked at her in surprise, "What?"
Lan Tingting's mouth twitched, and she stood up again silently, "...It's nothing, I just didn't stand firmly."
Lu Liang slipped over to Bai Jing and reported to her in a low voice.
"You're not really interested in me, are you?"
Lan Tingting's face turned pale, and she pursed her lips without saying anything.
"Jing girl, are you back from the exam?"
Aunt Wang at the entrance of the village greeted her, and then looked at the people around her. All of them were handsome men and beautiful women, well-dressed, and they were obviously city people.
"Are these your friends?"
"Yeah," Bai Jing nodded in response, "She said she wanted to come for a walk."
Afterwards, he led a few people around the village, gave a brief introduction, and went to the market for a stroll. Finally, he stopped in front of the Bai family and smiled helplessly.
"…Our place is small, and we finished it in no time. There's nothing interesting to see. Are you disappointed?"
"No, I think it's quite interesting," Shu Xiaoruan smiled sweetly, "The mountain scenery I saw on the way to the village was also very beautiful."
"Yes, yes, yes. Even if we go to Wushan with others, we will still see these things," Lu Liang chuckled. "Besides, it was us who said we would come back with you. Sister Jing, you don't have to worry about how to entertain us. Just take care of your business and we can just look around by ourselves."
Lan Tingting cursed in her heart, but smiled on her face, "...That's it."
"Come to think of it," Lu Liang turned his gaze and looked at the small door in front of him, "Could this be your home, Sister Jing?"
Bai Jing nodded and said yes.
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a snapping sound beside him.
The young man clasped his hands together, with a pious expression on his face, muttering to himself, "The results will be out in the next few days, please bless me, I must get a high score."
Bai Jing:?
Could it be that you came here just for this?
Wen Yu heard some noise outside. When she opened the door, she saw a group of people standing outside and was stunned.
"…Is Xiao Jing back? What about them again?"
"A friend I know in Beicheng," Bai Jing turned around and looked at her, with a smile on her face but calm eyes, "Aunt Yu."
The girl's voice was clear and clean, without any ups and downs in her tone, like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples, with a subtle and uncomfortable weird feeling.
If it were just the two of them, Wen Yu might have found an excuse to leave.
But in front of outsiders, she is used to putting on a good show and playing the role of a gentle and kind stepmother.
In addition, Bai Jing brought these people back, and seeing that their families were all well-off, she wanted to make some friends with them. At this moment, she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile on her face.
"Since you are friends, don't stand outside. Come to my house and have a cup of tea."
After several people entered the door, Wen Yu hurriedly shouted towards the inner room.
"Wenwu, your sister has a friend coming over, go make a pot of tea!"
The weather was so hot that Bai Wenwu didn't want to move at all, let alone boil water or make tea. He just pretended not to hear.
Wen Yu was filled with disappointment and directly grabbed him up and pulled him in front of everyone.
"This is Xiaojing's younger brother Wenwu," Wenyu said with a kind smile on his face, "If there is a chance in the future, I'll have to ask all my friends to take care of him."
Hearing this, Lu Liang looked over with some curiosity.
"Oh? He's Sister Jing's brother?"
Bai Jing said casually, "Don't you think so?"
Lu Liang looked at it carefully for a while, "...I don't think it looks like it."
Doesn't look very smart.
Wen Yu didn't know what she was thinking about, and the smile on her face froze.
But the next second he returned to his normal self and spoke kindly.
"Well, maybe it's because Wenwu looks more like me, and Xiaojing looks more like her mother, so they don't look alike. But they are still half-siblings, right, Xiaojing?"
Bai Jing smiled and didn't respond.
No one else said anything.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
This made Wen Yu feel inexplicably nervous. He quickly searched for a suitable topic in his mind, wanting to break this uneasy atmosphere as soon as possible.
"By the way, it's rare for Xiaojing to bring friends home, why don't you stay tonight and have a simple meal before leaving?"
