Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

"I want to go back to the capital, leave Tonglin Village, leave the place where Lin Chao was raised. Does that mean I have to leave...her side as well?"

Zhu Lerong was a little upset. He walked forward until he came in front of Lin Chao and asked tentatively:

"Ms. Meng passed the imperial examination. Did you know that?"

"Of course, the news spread throughout the village a few days ago, and you just found out about it?" Lin Chao was puzzled.

Zhu Lerong quickly shook her head, "Of course not, I knew that a long time ago."

Facing Lin Chao's look of "Why did you bring this up?", Zhu Lerong lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them, and stammered:

"Ms. Meng has passed the imperial examination and will be going to the capital to take the exam soon. Lin Chao, have you ever been to the capital?"

Lin Chao was squatting on the ground with his sleeves rolled up, preparing to deal with the two wild animals. When he heard Zhu Lerong's words, he raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his elbow, with a simple and honest smile.

"No. But the capital city is where the royal family and high officials live. It should be very beautiful."

Zhu Lerong nodded quickly as if she had grasped some hope.

"Yes, the capital is very beautiful. There are numerous palaces, pavilions, towers, willow trees swaying along the moat, and there are also exquisite painted boats and tall teahouses. At night, thousands of lights are lit up, and it is bright and lively."

He racked his brains, thought of a lot of advantages of the capital, and then pretended to speak casually.

"Lin Chao, do you want to go to the capital to take a look?"

Lin Chao laughed a little and said, "The capital is good, but I can't just go there whenever I want. Besides, I grew up in Tonglin Village, and I think it's pretty good here too."

She was cheerful and looked contented.

"I'm just going to visit the capital and see some places I've never been to. It's not like I won't be returning to Tonglin Village."

Zhu Lerong was a little anxious and leaned forward. He squatted down at some point and stared at her, hoping to get some different reaction.

The distance between them was getting closer and closer. Zhu Lerong looked at Lin Chao's lively eyes, high nose bridge and thin lips, and was distracted for a moment.

Lin Chao shook his head to reject his proposal.

"I don't necessarily have to go to the capital to see places I've never been to. I can start from the nearby towns and counties. I heard that there are many unique delicacies in the neighboring counties, and I haven't tried them yet."

She spoke with great enthusiasm, but the topic was moving further and further away from what Zhu Lerong wanted.

Zhu Lerong became a little anxious and blurted out the hidden thoughts in her mind that she was not even aware of.

"Ms. Meng will be going to the capital in a few days. I miss my parents and want to go with them to pay tribute to them."

His eyes were eager, staring at Lin Chao's mouth, wanting her to take the initiative to say "go to Beijing with him".

"You're going to Beijing?"

Lin Chao was indeed shocked by the news, but when he thought about Zhu Lerong and the family she sometimes talked about, he understood why he had such thoughts.

She hurriedly got up, went to the yard to wash her bloody hands with water from the water tank, tidied everything, and then returned to Zhu Lerong.

Lin Chao's movements were very flustered and anxious. Zhu Lerong looked at him and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

I knew that she wouldn't be willing to give it up to me.

You are in such a hurry now because you are planning to leave with me. I have saved some money in the past two years, which should be enough for us to go to Beijing together.

I have to think about it, it’s a journey of several days, and many things need to be prepared in advance.

Lin Chao's actions broke Zhu Lerong's fantasy.
