Jiang Yao had spent more than three years in Nanjiang City in her previous life, so she was more familiar with the nooks and crannies in the city than Lu Xingzhi. However, right now, she preferred watching Lu Xingzhi from behind as he held her hand and walked. All she had to do was to follow him closely and Lu Xingzhi would handle everything.
Unlike the stereotypical assumption that men didn't ask directions, Lu Xingzhi, although taciturn on regular days, would still ask passersby when he didn't know the way. After getting the directions, he would then politely thank the person in a flat tone and leave with Jiang Yao.
Incredibly, Lu Xingzhi found the most famous century-old eatery near the train station by using this method.
Despite being in the middle of the late afternoon, the eatery was crowded with diners. After they took a seat and ordered their food, Jiang Yao looked around curiously while asking Lu Xingzhi, "What time is your flight to Jin City?"
"6 pm," Lu Xingzhi replied. "I'll send you to your college after the meal, then it's right about time to go to the airport."
Jiang Yao glanced at her watch after his reply and calculated the time in her mind. She had less than two hours to be with Lu Xingzhi.
After the hearty meal, they took a taxi to Nanjiang Medical School. They settled the admission registration process and went to the girls' dormitory.
Jiang Yao was assigned to the dorm room on the fourth floor closest to the staircase. Men were allowed in the girls' dormitory during the college open days.
Most of the freshmen came with their families while Jiang Yao's case was quite uncommon, where she only had one young man with her. Moreover, they were both attractive that enticing a lot of curious glances along the way.
