Shen Qingming saw Zhaodi and was taken aback for a moment, seemingly unsure why she was so enthusiastic toward him, but he nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Qingming had some impression of Zhaodi. Although they were not from the same village, the two villages were close to each other and everyone knew each other.
The reason Zhaodi specifically wanted to walk with Shen Qingming was because she knew that Shen Qingming's mother came from the city and was well-informed. She was going to pass the university entrance exams this year and would soon return to take both him and his father back to the city to enjoy a better life.
Zhaodi remembered clearly that whenever the Shen family came back, they were always dressed very smartly and attractively.
Later, when they had a car, they would drive back to the village, drawing the entire village's attention, making quite a spectacle.
So, she wanted to establish a good relationship with him as it might prove useful in the future.
