330: Chapter 330: Nervous as You Approach Ho?
However, when changing his dressing today, his expression seed a bit off, his brow slightly furrowed.
Even when his wounds were gaping open a few days ago, his deanor remained unchanged, not a single furrow in his brow, so the reason he frowned certainly couldn’t have been pain from the wound.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Youyou, like a diligent doctor concerned about her patient, said, “If there’s any discomfort, you must tell .”
She wasn’t about to actively inquire about any troubles he might have; she was just a doctor concerned about her patient.
“It is quite uncomfortable,” Jin Zijin replied: “I’ve been away for so many years, I’m sowhat impatient, yet also sowhat timid as I near my hotown.”
“What?” Jin Zijin felt timid about nearing his hotown?
Gu Youyou gave him a sowhat strange look and asked, “Are you saying that your ho is also in Lingnan?”
Why had she heard all along the way that Yue Rujing’s ho was in Lingnan?
Jin Zijin shook his head, then nodded, saying, “I’ve told you before, I am orphaned.
However, I spent a few years in Lingnan and ca to consider it ho.”
Can the definition of ho be like that?
Gu Youyou offhandedly remarked, “Then you also stayed in a thatched cottage in Lotus Village for a few years, do you consider that thatched cottage ho?”
“Ho?”
Jin Zijin’s gaze dropped, his eyes gradually deepening.
He smiled bitterly to himself.
Did he have a ho?
Gu Youyou looked down at him and upon seeing his despondent expression, imdiately regretted her previous words and wished she could sew her own mouth shut.
How could she say such a thing?
It was fine to say to anyone else, but she should never have said it to soone without a ho; Jin Zijin must be heartbroken.
Gu Youyou pursed her lips, sat down to face him, and sincerely apologized, “Zijin, I’m sorry, I didn’t an to bring up the subject of ho.”
Jin Zijin looked up at her.
“I don’t have a ho either, you say ho is wherever it is.
Since it’s in Lingnan, let’s hurry back,” she said.
“Huh?”
“Feeling timid about nearing ho, I understand, but eventually, one has to return ho, right?
Ah, how about we set out early tomorrow morning?
Your wound is not a major issue, and with here, traveling shouldn’t be a problem…”
“Alright!” Jin Zijin imdiately replied.
Gu Youyou was taken aback, dumbfounded.
Her intention was to console him, since the topic she brought up had saddened him, but she didn’t expect him to respond so readily to her suggestion.
You clearly don’t feel timid about nearing ho; you’re just eagerly longing to return.
Um…
Well, after all, it was she who had suggested setting out early the next morning.
Jin Zijin, with his actions, demonstrated that he indeed longed to return.
While Gu Youyou was washing up, he had swiftly packed the luggage and even called out to Yue Rujing at the doorway.
“Ajing, pack your things, we leave early tomorrow morning.”
Soon after, Yue Rujing’s voice, muffled with sleep, complained: “Packing in the middle of the night?
Does anyone want to get so sleep?”
More complaining voices followed: “What’s all the noise for?
Why shout so loudly just for packing?
It disturbs people’s rest, is there no humanity left?”
Gu Youyou tugged at Jin Zijin, saying, “Why are you so loud?
It won’t be too late to pack tomorrow morning.”
Jin Zijin defended himself righteously: “If I’m quiet, will Ajing hear ?”
Gu Youyou was left speechless.
Yue Rujing did have this quirk; he was a sound sleeper and loved to linger in bed.
…
They left stealthily, departing before dawn.
Traveling light, Abao was not convenient to bring along, and Jin Zijin said that after they arrived in Lingnan, he would have soone send Abao back.
Rising early and retiring late, it’s no surprise that Yue Rujing couldn’t stop yawning, and Gu Youyou was yawning incessantly as well, but Jin Zijin seed very energetic.
