She had only taken a few steps when the people outside, as if they were getting impatient, started banging on the gate.
Zhu Qing looked at the sky, which was still dark, and quickened her pace with doubt, rushing forward to open the courtyard gate.
But after opening the door, her original doubts were not only not answered, but were actually deepened.
As soon as she opened the door, she found a man standing outside, and a complete stranger to her.
The man had a meticulously styled 3/7 parted hairstyle, which appeared to have been waxed, and wore glasses that made his already small eyes look even smaller.
The door suddenly opened, and after meeting Zhu Qinghao's gaze, the other person saw that she remained silent for a long time and even coughed lightly.
Zhu Qing noticed the other person's appearance and felt he looked somewhat like a male educated youth, but she wasn't sure. Since the other person didn't speak first, she had no choice but to ask him a question.
"Who are you? Who are you looking for? Have you come to the wrong place?"
The man tugged at his sleeve, not only refusing to answer his question, but also arrogantly raising his own question with a haughty air.
"You're Zhu Qinghao? Haven't you heard of me?"
Zhu Qinghao felt very confused. Had she ever heard of him? Who was this important figure?
However, before she could answer, the other person spoke up on their own.
"Hehe, you really didn't ask about me. No wonder everyone says you're aloof, unsociable, and don't unite with your fellow educated youth brothers and sisters."
Zhu Qinghao immediately realized that this person was most likely one of the male educated youths, but she really had no idea which one it was.
However, regardless of whether she had any clues or not, she felt speechless about this person and silently categorized him as one of the types of people she least wanted to associate with.
Seeing that Zhu Qinghao's expression was a bit off, the person quickly tried to smooth things over.
"But don't worry, I have a different view from those vulgar people. I think you're quite unique, and I like that."
Hearing these increasingly disgusting words, I, Zhu Qinghao, could no longer tolerate them and could no longer endure them.
"No, who are you, brother? I don't know you. If there's nothing else, you should head back now, it's getting late."
He was about to close the door when the other person was quick enough to stop him.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be in such a hurry. Actually, we should be acquaintances. My name is Chen Hui, and I'm also a sent-down youth. If you hadn't moved out, we would have known each other long ago."
Zhu Qinghao wasn't interested in any of this and just wanted to get back to her own meal, so she gave him a perfunctory greeting.
"Oh, Chen, it's getting late. You should hurry back to your post. The weather's not good either. Goodbye."
As she spoke, she prepared to close the door again, but Chen Hui's hand remained firmly on the door, unwilling to move it away.
Zhu Qinghao glanced at Chen Hui's claw-like hands propped against the door, secretly wondering if she would break them if she forced the door shut. Just then, Chen Hui went on another crazy spree.
"Zhu Qinghao, are you worried about me? It's okay, I'm a grown man, I'm not afraid of being late. I came all this way to see you, shouldn't you treat me to dinner?"
To be honest, this was the first time Zhu Qinghao had ever seen a beggar like this, so she looked at him in astonishment.
However, this glance took on a different meaning in Chen Hui's eyes.
