After a while, she asked, "So if I go home, what will you have for lunch?"
Jiang Ning said, "I'll just whip something up."
Xue Yuantong was conflicted inside. Jiang Ning's meals, three times a day, were all taken care of by her. What if she left home, and Jiang Ning had nothing to eat?
She believed she was shouldering a responsibility.
As they were almost done with their meal, Xue Yuantong tentatively asked, "Will you come back with me to the village tomorrow?"
Jiang Ning didn't hesitate, "Sure."
Xue Yuantong was stunned, "You agree?"
Jiang Ning: "Otherwise?"

"Kun Nan, let's go to the playground!"
He didn't lower his voice. Despite the chaos of class ending, many classmates heard him.
