Chapter 1476: This Person Seems to Be Sick

Xu Xiaoxiao chuckled, then gave a stinging reply: "Do I need to dress up to meet you? Let's go!"

After saying this, Xu Xiaoxiao led the way in front.

And Wang Sinian followed behind.

Wang Sinian wanted to take the initiative to chat with Xu Xiaoxiao several times.

But unfortunately, Xu Xiaoxiao walked very fast; just as Wang Sinian opened his mouth, Xu Xiaoxiao would turn a corner, leaving him behind.

After doing this back and forth a few times, Wang Sinian stopped asking for trouble.

It's just that...

Where are they going, walking like this the whole time?

Wang Sinian looked at the familiar scenery around them, and finally, he simply grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Do you have any plans?"

"No plans."

"Then where are you taking me?"

"Nowhere, just... wandering around."

Wandering around?

Hmph, she really is just wandering around.

She is completely circling around the place where Xu Xiaoxiao lives!

Wang Sinian closed his eyes for a moment, then said with a forced smile: "To be treated so perfunctorily by Miss Xu, I suppose it's my honor!"

Xu Xiaoxiao turned around and said with a serious face: "Who is being perfunctory to you? It was clearly your grandfather who arranged it this way."

"My grandfather arranged for you to take me for a casual stroll, but this 'stroll' is not that 'stroll.' You're a psychology expert, don't you know that?"

"I know, but I can play dumb."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Sinian with confidence and composure.

Wang Sinian looked back at Xu Xiaoxiao calmly.

And then...

He suddenly revealed a smile.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and stared at him, thinking to herself that this person... seems to be sick!

Wang Sinian's mood, however, grew brighter, and he even issued an invitation: "Miss Xu, since we're just walking anyway, why don't we go to a scenic spot?"

"There are tons of people at scenic spots on the weekend. Going there just means looking at people; it's boring."

"Then let's go to a park. At this time, there are definitely fewer people in the park."

"Fewer people? That's even more boring."

This half-hearted reply from Xu Xiaoxiao made Wang Sinian say helplessly: "In Miss Xu's heart, the truly boring person is probably me."

This remark made Xu Xiaoxiao hum inwardly, feeling that he at least had some self-awareness.

Wang Sinian certainly had self-awareness, but there was one thing he had to remind Xu Xiaoxiao of: "Afterward, my grandfather will definitely chat with you about today's meeting. If you keep brushing him off like this... I'm afraid you won't be able to finish the job."

Xu Xiaoxiao did not deny Wang Sinian's words.

But...

She stared fixedly at Wang Sinian's eyes and said meaningfully: "I get the feeling you aren't the obedient little boy who listens to his family's orders. Why did you return to the country, and why did you come out with me?"

Wang Sinian met Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze and successfully saw the thirst for the truth in the depths of her eyes.

This thirst made Wang Sinian curl his lips, and he said softly: "If you let me finish the job, I will answer your questions and clear up your doubts."

"Aren't we already wandering around?"

"That won't do, it's too perfunctory; even I can't stand it! How about this: if there's any place you want to go, I can accompany you."

A place she wants to go...

Come to think of it, Xu Xiaoxiao really did have such a place in mind.

Wang Sinian had been staring at Xu Xiaoxiao the whole time.

Seeing her reaction...

Wang Sinian guessed something and even took the initiative to say: "Tell me, where do you want to go?"

"I want to go to... an orchard."

"An orchard?"

In that brief moment just now, Wang Sinian had made many assumptions.

But not one of the answers was the one Xu Xiaoxiao gave.

This woman is truly hard to understand.

Since he couldn't understand, Wang Sinian asked directly: "Why do you want to go there?"

"I heard that orchard has many sweet fruits that you can't buy outside. I'm curious and want to go see them."

This reason...

It would be strange if Wang Sinian believed it.

But he didn't expose her, only smiling as he said: "I didn't expect a female scholar like you to be so interested in planting."

It wasn't that Xu Xiaoxiao was interested in planting; she was clearly interested in Jiang Chenghao...

No, that's not right; she clearly just wanted to help Jiang Chenghao.

And this orchard was a very good entry point.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't explain further to Wang Sinian, but instead took him directly to the orchard.

That place was relatively remote, with large patches of empty land all around.

Looking at it from afar, it looked especially like a paradise appearing in the middle of a wilderness.

Wang Sinian also discovered the orchard and said: "This orchard is quite large, and it's so lush; it looks full of vitality."

"Yes, and a great deal of heart and soul was poured into it, too."

A hint of tenderness suddenly entered Xu Xiaoxiao's voice.

This forced Wang Sinian to look over and stare intently at Xu Xiaoxiao's profile.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao had already shed her defenses.

Her eyes were lively, her expression gentle, and a faint, subtle smile hung at the corners of her mouth.

Her steps toward the orchard were also quickening with every stride.

Wang Sinian's gaze followed her the entire time.

He thought to himself... just how many sides does this woman have?

It really makes one want to get to the bottom of it!

Wang Sinian curled his lips, then followed Xu Xiaoxiao into the orchard.

This orchard was larger than Xu Xiaoxiao had expected; walking through it, the surroundings were filled with the fresh scent of nature.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but close her eyes and take a deep, forceful breath.

She thought, Jiang Chenghao must have done this too!

However, just at this moment...

The person behind her tugged at the corner of her clothes.

The atmosphere was ruined in that instant.

Xu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and turned her head, annoyed: "What?"

"Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?"

Afraid of the sun?

What kind of question is that!

Xu Xiaoxiao said irritably: "Of course not, getting a bit of a tan is healthier!"

"But..."

"Alright, you're a grown man, stop being so fussy!"

In the end, Wang Sinian just moved his lips, but didn't say anything.

And just as the two were talking, a person wearing a straw hat not far in front of Xu Xiaoxiao slowly turned around.

Almost instantly, he locked his gaze onto Xu Xiaoxiao and smiled: "Why are you here?"

This voice...

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately looked up and saw Jiang Chenghao!

In an instant, a smile climbed onto Xu Xiaoxiao's cheeks; she waved at Jiang Chenghao and then quickened her pace to meet him.

When she stood opposite Jiang Chenghao, she asked: "Why are you here today too?"

"I had nothing to do this morning, so I wanted to come and take a look myself, and observe the soil quality while I'm at it."

So that was it.

Then it was quite a coincidence that they were able to run into each other.

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, and then noticed that Jiang Chenghao was handing over a straw hat.

"This is..."

"The sun is strong, it'll be very scorching; wearing that can keep your skin from getting tanned."

"Oh."

Xu Xiaoxiao took the hat and put it on quite naturally.

But at this moment, someone behind her spoke: "Didn't you just think that getting a tan was healthier? Why are you wearing a hat now?"

Hearing this voice, Xu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes.

She wanted to turn around and tell Wang Sinian to shut up!

But Jiang Chenghao spoke first: "And this is..."

"Hello, I am a friend of Xu Xiaoxiao, my name is Wang Sinian."

Wang Sinian was quite generous and even took the initiative to reach out his hand to Jiang Chenghao.
