After leaving the train station, the group found the public bus to the county where Lu Ran’s significant other was located. There were so many of them that once they boarded, the bus was just full and left imdiately.
So roadwork was underway on a section of the route, and the kids sitting at the back were bouncing up and down like they were riding horses.
Luo Qiao reminded them not to just play around but to hold on tight and avoid falling.
After a challenging trip, they finally reached the county town, first asking for directions to Zhou Lei’s village before checking into a hotel.
After freshening up, they went downstairs to et and headed out for a al together.
Exhausted, they returned to the hotel to rest after dinner, planning to first take a tour around the county town the next day to get familiar with it.
The next morning, during breakfast, Wang Xiaoxin and Luo Qiao began a thorough investigation into the local customs, of course by casually chatting with others.
After eating, the group visited a nearby attraction. While they ca to inquire about Zhou Lei’s family, they also wanted to seize the opportunity to have so fun.
They heard that the Maiji Mountain Grottoes were quite nearby, so they decided on their itinerary for the day.

After finishing work, Lu Ran returned ho and found a note from his mom saying she had gone on a trip.
He was a bit stunned at the ti, why go on a trip without waiting for him when he had clearly told them he would be ho by the morning of the third at the latest. Couldn’t they wait just two days?
Feeling a bit down, he called his significant other: "Hey, are you done yet?"
"Ran Ran, you’re back! Didn’t you say you’d be back tomorrow?"
"I ca back earlier, good thing you’re in the dorm."
"Your tone sounds off. Did sothing upset you?"
"I got back from my work trip today, and my parents just went on vacation without . I told them I’d be back on the second, but they didn’t wait."
"It’s just a seven-day holiday. Waiting for you two days leaves only five. How co you’re still throwing a little tantrum? Let’s go out tomorrow too. I bet your parents want us to have so alone ti."
"Oh, co on, don’t flatter yourself. Rember, my mom hasn’t given the green light yet. You still don’t have a title, so you’ve got to keep working hard."
"Don’t worry, with all my sincerity, I believe your parents will one day realize it and willingly entrust their precious daughter to ."
"Alright then, let’s see your practical actions. Rember, without my parents’ consent, our wedding plans are on hold, so it all depends on you."
"Yeah, I’ll definitely keep at it, continue striving."
"Alright, stop prattling. I wonder where on earth they went on vacation?"
"Why not just give them a call?"
"I did, but their phone is off."
"Probably out of battery. Try calling later; if you still can’t reach them, try again tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I’ll leave it at that."
"Don’t be lazy. Make yourself sothing to eat."
"If you’re not too busy, why don’t you co over? I feel like eating your cooking."
"With your parents not around, won’t it seem inappropriate if I co over? Won’t they dislike even more if they find out?"
"Nah, it’ll be fine. I just won’t tell them. Hurry up, would you?"
"Alright, I’ll tidy up and co by. What would you like to eat? I can pick up so groceries on the way."
"You know what I like to eat."
"Alright, I’ll co prepared. You get the rice steaming, and I’ll cook when I arrive."
Little did the two of them realize, the people they were discussing were already in Tianshui.
