"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I never thought the beautiful Liu Yunxi would come to such a remote place. How unexpected!"
No sooner had Hu Jing spoken than Liu Yunxi cut her off.
"Where I go is none of your business. But you, why did you follow me here?" Liu Yunxi narrowed her eyes. "Don't tell me you missed me—even a ghost wouldn't fall for that! I was assigned to come here by my superiors. Now, what's your story? Spill it!"
Hu Jing just shrugged. "What other story could there be? I had a setback at work, so I decided to travel. First stop is my old hometown to have a look around."
Hearing this, Liu Yunxi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and a flicker of doubt appeared in Liu Ergou's eyes.
Hu Jing said Fengzhu Village was her hometown? That can't be right. Liu Ergou thought. I know everyone from this village. Even if someone left as a child, I'd still be able to recognize them, more or less. But as for Hu Jing... I have absolutely no memory of her.
