Less than half an hour after the two military district officials left, a jeep pulled up and stopped under the large banyan tree. Zheng Shaolian was thrilled to hear from Gu Shaojun that he would be the one to take Xiao Man home, so much so that he didn't even want a driver. However, the soldier said their superior was worried that Zheng Shaolian, being a new recruit, wasn't familiar with the area and wouldn't be able to find his way back to the city, so he had to tag along!
Zheng Shaolian was indignant. 'Do I look like someone with no sense of direction?'
But the thought that he'd have plenty of opportunities to go see Xiao Man on his own in the future made him happy, and he cheerfully pulled Xiao Man into the jeep.
Seeing that Xiao Man wouldn't even spare him a glance, Gu Shaozhen felt a pang of guilt and voluntarily acted as the manual labor, loading all their things into the vehicle.
