“Then I will call you Xinxin,” Gu Qingheng nodded.
“It’s a nice name.”
“That…
” Yang Ruxin actually hoped that he would call her ‘Sister Xin’ instead, but considering this wasn’t the imperial capital from her previous life, she didn’t mind and waved it off, “Whatever you like.”
“Does Xinxin know how to read?” Gu Qingheng suddenly asked.
“I…” Yang Ruxin was about to say that she had graduated from college, but she quickly swallowed her words, realizing that would give her away, and hastily shook her head, “How could the Yang Family allow me to study?
It’s just that my younger cousin and second uncle sometimes pretentiously recite from memory at home, and I learned a few idioms from them.” She guessed that her use of the phrase “flourishing” had aroused his suspicion, and she realized she would have to be more careful with her words in the future.
While they were talking, the Feng Family’s wife came out with a small basket: “The eggs are boiled.”
“Thank you,” Yang Ruxin took the basket, but then she froze, “Aunt Feng, isn’t there a mistake?
I only have two eggs.” But there were six eggs in the basket.
“Although I’m not very familiar with the people in the village, I also know that your family has several younger siblings.
How can two eggs be enough?” Feng Family’s wife smiled, “Hurry back, they are still hot and good for eating.”
Yang Ruxin felt strangely moved and her nose began to tingle.
“Ayao, you escort Dani…
Xinxin out,” Gu Qingheng spoke up, “It’s inconvenient for a girl to walk alone at night.”
“Oh,” Gu Yao nodded, then suddenly frowned.
Xinxin?
When did they become so close?
But Gu Qingheng couldn’t see Gu Yao’s surprise, so naturally, he couldn’t resolve his confusion.
“I won’t be coy, I’ll accept the eggs, thank you Aunt Feng,” Yang Ruxin, touched by the Feng Family wife’s action, didn’t notice Gu Yao’s constipated expression, and carefully placed the eggs into a pottery jar, then turned to Gu Qingheng, “Now we are even.”
The corners of Gu Qingheng’s mouth curved up slightly.
Even?
How could that be?
“No need to escort me, I can manage on my own,” Yang Ruxin waved to the family and turned to leave.
Gu Yao followed her out but came back very quickly.
“You sent her back that quickly?” Feng Family’s wife looked at Gu Yao with surprise.
Their house was some distance from the village, and it would take at least fifteen minutes to get to the Yang Family’s place, especially at night.
“That Yang Dani runs faster than a rabbit; I had to use Qinggong to catch up with her, and from a distance, I saw her vault over the wall back home…” Gu Yao was exasperated, if it weren’t for the fact that he had tested her before and found she had no Inner Strength, he would have suspected she was a hidden martial arts master.
The smile on Gu Qingheng’s face grew deeper; the more he interacted with that girl, the more interesting she seemed to him.
Speaking of Yang Ruxin, after leaving the Gu Family’s courtyard, she put the eggs into her space.
Upon arriving at her own room’s door, she took them out again; however, she only took out two, leaving the other four in the space.
She had conducted an experiment with hot water in there before, and upon entering, she found the water was still the same temperature as when she put it in, which meant that the space could maintain the substance’s original state.
So keeping the eggs there, there was no worry they would spoil.
After all, given the current conditions, it wasn’t possible to eat all the eggs at once; these two would suffice to satisfy their cravings for now.

Before she could knock, the door creaked open.
