On the main road from the county town to Sancha River, Xu Xiaoyan asked Yan Fei, with a worried look, "Yan Xiaofei, what are we going to do? We have so much stuff that we can't even get on the bus. Are we really going to walk back?"
Yan Fei watched the car puffing smoke dejectedly drive away and then looked up at the burning sun, frowned, and said, "If we wait for the next bus, it will be noon. Let's walk back!"
Just as he was about to pick up the load to leave, he took note of the girl soaked in sweat and stopped, "Why don't we go back to my house first? We can eat and then go to the station to catch a bus?"
"No! Let's just walk back!" Xu Xiaoyan immediately objected to Yan Fei's suggestion of going back to his house for food. The two might have considered doing that before they had clarified their relationship, but now that the nature of their relationship is clear and they aren't engaged, it would be too awkward to meet the parents.
