Lu Jingqiu returned home and took a nap for almost an hour when there was a knock at the door.
Lu Jingqiu hurried downstairs to open the door, only to find Luo Xinyue had brought He Yu over.
"Ah Yu, why are you only coming over now?"
"I spent the morning seeing Qingru off, then went back to grab a few clothes. I was thinking of heading over, but then a classmate next door came over to chat, and we got caught up talking until noon, so I couldn't make it. By the time I went over in the afternoon, I learned that you two had already returned.
In the end, it was Xinyue who kindly gave me a lift here."
"So, did you manage to have a bowl of beef soup?"
"I did, your friend Comrade Xue was really hospitable, and honestly, the flavor was truly good."
Luo Xinyue said, "Ah Yu told me that when she arrived, the place was already getting busy."
Lu Jingqiu checked the time; it was only five o'clock.
"They're busy already?"
"Yeah, there were quite a few people."
