”Big Brother Xiaoloong, are you really not coming back to Yanjing with me?”

Outside the Qinghe Village, on a remote rural road, Lu Xiaoya asked with her head slightly raised, with some anticipation.

”I'm not going,” Zhang Xiaoloong continued to walk. After knowing about the engagement between the two families, he felt awkward staying alone with Lu Xiaoya. ”If you recover, I'll wait until next year.”

It wasn't that Zhang Xiaoloong didn't want to go to university, it was just that he didn't know what was wrong with his body right now.

In the past few days, whenever he felt hot in his chest, he would hurriedly hide by himself, afraid that others would see his glowing and black appearance.

If he went to college like this, it would not be long before he was sliced up and studied under a microscope.

”Then what if …” Lu Xiaoya suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate. She immediately stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously. ”You will definitely recover soon.”

”I hope so,” Zhang Xiaoloong thought. In fact, he was doing very well right now, but he would light up from time to time. ”I haven't thanked you for helping me with the suspension yet.”

Lu Xiaoya smiled slyly. ”Then how are you going to thank me? I'm saving a top scholar! ”

”What top scholar? I was just lucky and got a higher score. If I were to take the exam again, I might not even make it to the admission line.” Zhang Xiaoloong smiled humbly.

Previously, he was also very proud of his reputation as the top scholar. However, after experiencing a life-and-death battle, he didn't really care about this reputation anymore.

”That won't do. You're trying to be shameless by saying that. In any case, I don't care. I want you to thank me properly.” Lu Xiaoya noticed that her tone had a hint of coquettishness to it. She remembered her roommate saying that girls would only use this tone when talking to boys they liked, with a slight blush.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoloong didn't realize that at this moment, the shy Lu Xiaoya was even prettier than usual. He only smiled honestly and said, ”Fine, when you have your new year vacation, I will thank you properly. What good food do you want to eat, let my mother make it for you.”

”It won't be so easy on you. Aunt said long ago that she will make me whatever I want to eat in the future. My current treatment is even higher than yours.” Lu Xiaoya blushed even more when she recalled what Liu Mei had told her.

Zhang Xiaoloong finally realized Lu Xiaoya's strangeness. Although she hadn't been in a relationship before, she was still young. His heart thumped twice, but he immediately said generously, ”Fine, then whatever you say will be fine, right?”

”Mm, how about … ”You can go buy clothes with me.” Lu Xiaoya's voice became a little softer as if she was thinking about something. In fact, she was hesitating about whether she should be straightforward about it, so she lowered her head and whispered, ”You're alone!”

The countryside was not as open as it was in the city, and the talk of ”I love you” and ”You love me” had begun in my teens, and even when two people stood on the road they could nibble into the wilderness. The most common thing in the countryside were two engaged men and women, who agreed to go to the market together and pick out one or two new clothes for each other.

Actually, this was a custom during betrothal. Usually, the two people engaged to each other might not be very familiar with each other, and they might not even have met before. Through this kind of 'date', they could get to know each other better.

It was precisely because of this custom that girls usually did not invite boys to buy clothes with them, unless they liked this person very much.

Although Zhang Xiaoloong was not very smart in this area, but looking at the other party's appearance, even if he made a connection, he still understood the other party's intention. However, he immediately remembered that when he was unconscious, Lu Dashan had come to his parents' door to force them to order some money.

Zhang Xiaoloong was silent for a moment, ”Then I'm afraid it's not appropriate. If others see that it's not good for you, Uncle Shan would not agree.”
