Song Yao tore open the calendar. In three days, she would go to
Sangqiu City’s No.l Middle School to take the exam. At the same time, Zuo Huo had no choice but to go back to work because of his work transfer.
Song Yao put the pen and paper in her bag and prepared to take them away tomorrow. Thinking of Zuo Huo, Song Yao couldn’t bear for him to leave.
Ever since she confirmed her relationship with Zuo Huo, the two of them had been spending time together. Now that the two of them were in love, they had to separate. Song Yao could only force herself to divert her attention and think about how many key questions she had practiced for this month’s paper.
When she came out of the room, Song Yao was about to get some water to wash her face when she realized that Zuo Huo was guarding the door and looked like he had not slept the entire night.
“Yao, you’re awake?”
Song Yao threw herself into his arms and sucked on his scent. She immediately felt much more at ease. “What time are you leaving tomorrow?”
Zuo Huo smiled. “I’ll go with you.”
Song Yao was shocked. “Stop fooling around. The trains in Sangqiu City can’t connect to the trains in the capital.”
Zuo Huo smiled. “I know, but what I mean is that I’ll go to Sangqiu City with you.”
Song Yao’s heart skipped a beat. Did he mean that he wanted to accompany her to the exam?
“What about your job?”
Zuo Huo said, “There are still five days left. I’ll accompany you to Sangqiu City. Including the time on the road, it will take about three days. We’ll catch a plane in the remaining two days and go to the capital together. I’ll also show you my work environment.”
“Do you really want me to accompany you to the capital?” Song Yao asked.
“Of course,” Zuo Huo said. “We don’t know when we’ll meet again. Don’t you want to tour my work environment?”
Song Yao replied without hesitation.
She had never been to the capital before. This time, not only did she want to visit the place where Zuo Huo worked, but she also wanted to see what was popular in the capital.
Also, it was almost the new year. She wanted to take advantage of the new year to buy more things that she didn’t have to worry about selling.
“Zuo Huo, do you know where the largest wholesale market in the capital is?”
Zuo Huo also knew that Song Yao was in a hurry to earn money. “I know. I’ll bring you there.”
Song Yao smiled sweetly. “Then let’s leave at nine tomorrow. I’ll get Xiao to buy another ticket!”
At night, when Gu Li heard that Song Yao was going to the capital again, she started to worry.
“The capital is so far away. You have to be careful when you go out with Zuo Huo. I heard that the roads are filled with liars! You were deceived by that kind of person the last time you went out, right?”
Gu Li was worried that her daughter would be deceived, but Song Ping hurriedly stopped his wife. “Young people have their own ideas! At the very least, there’s still Zuo Huo. What can happen?”
Gu Li glared at Song Ping. It was precisely because Zuo Huo was here that she felt unsafe!
Although her daughter was still with Zuo Huo, she had not married him yet. It would not be good if she did something before marriage. “When do you and Yao plan to get married?”
“Mom!” Song Yao frowned. She had yet to tell Gu Li that she and Zuo Huo were preparing to get married after her college entrance examination.
Gu Li ignored Song Yao and continued to ask Zuo Huo, “I know you young people have your own ideas, but as a mother, it’s not too much for me to ask about the two of you, right?”
“It’s not too much,” Zuo Huo said calmly. “Of course I want to marry Yao as soon as possible, but I’m not the only one in charge of this matter. I have to ask Yao’s opinion.”
“Mom, Zuo Huo and I want to do something after the college entrance examination next year. We haven’t told you.”
Hearing this, Gu Li heaved a sigh of relief. “You’ll be taking the college entrance examination next year. It’s almost the new year. The two of you have to meet your parents and get engaged within half a year. Try to settle the matter before June.”
“I know.”
Zuo Huo said, “Actually, I brought Yao back to the capital this time to see my biological parents.”
Hearing this, Song Yao was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Zuo Huo had already planned to bring her home.
Gu Li frowned again. “I remember hearing from Sister Liu that you don’t have a good relationship with your family. What if your family doesn’t approve of Yao?”
Zuo Huo said, “They’ve never raised me. I don’t need their permission.
I’m only going back this time to inform them that I’m getting married.’
Zuo Huo’s words were firm. Gu Li did not say anything else after hearing this. She said, “Then I won’t interfere in your matters.”
Gu Li was about to go back to her room to sleep when Song Ping said, “I have to say something! “
