Seeing Meatball and Meatball constantly acting coquettishly in Yan Jin’s arms, Yu Shu felt even more sour inside. He could only keep comforting himself: A grown cat is not meant to be kept, keep it too long and it turns to enmity.

　　[Will the two hosts please prepare, transmission will begin in five minutes.]

　　Yan Jin’s eyes shifted slightly. “Can we choose our own landing point?”

　　Before they returned, the original female lead Mu Chu Yao had already discovered she was tricked and was probably searching all over Xiaoman City now.

　　They were still lacking in power now. If they could choose the landing point, they could take the opportunity to avoid the original female lead Mu Chu Yao.

　　Hearing Yan Jin’s words, Yu Shu’s eyes lit up. “In novels, bound hosts all have newbie gift packs. Do you have that here?”

　　[No, there isn’t.]

　　Although Yan Jin was a bit disappointed, she had money in her pocket and wasn’t worried, so she didn’t continue to ask.

　　Seeing Yu Shu’s disappointment written all over his face, Yan Jin kindly reminded, “This system is very cunning. If it really let us choose, it might deliberately send us to the opposite place.”

　　Yu Shu: “You’re right.”

　　[…]

　　Yan Jin had always thought Mu Chu Yao would search for them everywhere because of being tricked, but the reality was the complete opposite.

　　Upon discovering the clothing Yan Jin left behind, Mu Chu Yao indeed felt she had been tricked at first.

　　But then she found that jade Buddha necklace, and immense joy burst forth from Mu Chu Yao’s chest. “That person actually left behind this necklace that never leaves their body. I actually received such high regard from that great personage!”

　　In her ecstasy, Mu Chu Yao quickly reflected on her previous negligence and hurriedly took people to apologize and properly entertain that great personage.

　　Unfortunately, she was a step too late. By the time she rushed over, that person had long since left with their new favorite.

　　When Mu Chu Yao decided to buy the new favorite that great personage liked so much from Entering Clouds Pavilion, she discovered that person was not recorded in the Pavilion’s register.

　　Mu Chu Yao thought for a moment and understood. She figured the new favorite’s identity was inconvenient to publicize, so they borrowed Entering Clouds Pavilion to cover people’s ears and eyes.

　　Thinking of this, Mu Chu Yao erased the new favorite’s traces in Entering Clouds Pavilion and made him a clean identity.

　　This way, those fellows from the Censorate wouldn’t cause trouble for that great personage.

　　Five minutes later, the system cleanly transported them to Anguo.

　　The sunset dyed the clouds in the sky scarlet, scattering specks of golden light from the cloud layers, the evening tinged with a melancholy of not knowing where the road ahead led.

　　After her feet touched solid ground, Yan Jin felt a bit unreal. Did she really cross over?

　　But seeing the expanse of sugarcane fields not far away, the slight unreality in Yan Jin’s heart was blown away.

　　Her house was in the north. Even if sugarcane could be planted, it couldn’t possibly grow this lush.

　　Yan Jin’s heart relaxed slightly.

　　Although Yan Jin didn’t care where she was transported to, if she had a choice, she would prefer the south.

　　After all, Yan Jin was from the south and was used to the humid air. Although she could see snow in the north, the autumn and winter were really too dry.

　　[Wow, authentic ancient countryside scenery!]

　　[Period dramas should all come learn from this.]

　　”What a beautiful sunset.”

　　Suddenly, Yan Jin heard a sigh from beside her.

　　Yan Jin was surprised. Her unfortunate younger brother?

　　Previously, Yan Jin had always thought Yu Shu was a minor. Out of sympathy for the weak, she took good care of him.

　　After learning that Yu Shu was an adult, Yan Jin didn’t overflow with sympathy and ask if they wanted to team up and look out for each other.

　　But to Yan Jin’s surprise, the system actually didn’t transport them separately.

　　”I really didn’t expect the sunset here to be so beautiful too.”

　　Looking at the sunset, Yu Shu sighed, “Seeing it makes one forget their troubles.”

　　Looking at the sunset, Yan Jin sighed, “It will definitely be very troublesome to travel later.”

　　[…]

　　[…]

　　[I was building up my mood so nicely, just about to poetically say “How infinite is the beauty of the setting sun, yet dusk draws near”, but Yan Jin’s words made me swallow it back.]

　　[Haha I’m dying of laughter, isn’t this the typical liberal arts student vs science student?]

　　[Seeing a beautiful scenery, liberal arts student: praises the scenery with elegant phrases; science student: there must be a lot of mosquitoes here, not suitable for living.]

　　Hearing the other party sigh in a completely opposite way from themselves, the two couldn’t help but mutter in their hearts at the same time: he/she is a bit strange.

　　But when their eyes met, both of them couldn’t hold back a smile.

　　Yu Shu laughed, revealing two little dimples. “You really lack a romantic cell.”

　　”I call this being rational.” Yan Jin explained, “Rural roads are hard to walk at night to begin with, let alone in ancient times.”

　　”If the roads are hard to walk at night, then let’s walk tomorrow.” Yu Shu said, “They planted sugarcane here, there must be households nearby. We can stay the night.”

　　Stay the night, have to talk to strangers… Yan Jin sighed softly in her heart.

　　Yan Jin: “Let’s ask someone for directions. If it’s not far from the county town, we can walk a bit faster and might make it to the county town before dark.”

　　Yan Jin felt she concealed her reluctance to talk to strangers very well.

　　Who knew Yu Shu would rub his chin, his eyes carrying a hint of thoughtfulness. “You said before that you weren’t socially anxious, and I believed you. But now it seems you are socially anxious.”

　　”I’m not socially anxious.” Yan Jin argued, “I just find it troublesome to talk to strangers.”

　　Yu Shu let out a long “oh”, the corners of his lips carrying a faint playfulness. “Then will you go knock on the door later?”

　　Yan Jin raised her eyes to look at Yu Shu. She was gorgeous to the extreme to begin with. A casual glance from her was alluring, yet it didn’t make people feel she was frivolous.

　　Being looked at by her like this, Yu Shu subconsciously blushed to the tips of his ears. His gaze evaded hers, not daring to meet Yan Jin’s eyes.

　　[Damn, I want to shout through the screen: Sister, give me a chance!]

　　[It’s not strange at all for Yu Shu to blush. Yan Jin is really too beautiful wuwuwu.]

　　[Let me first give myself a: No Lewdness Allowed.jpg. But I really want to bury my face in beautiful sister’s bosom.]

　　Yu Shu had just said it offhandedly, not expecting Yan Jin to glance at him and actually go knock on village doors to ask for lodging.

　　When that household was tidying up a room for them, Yu Shu finally came back to his senses. “You’re really not socially anxious.”

　　Yan Jin nodded. “Of course I’m not.”

　　Having said that, Yan Jin silently loosened her tightly clenched left hand. There were actually several faint nail marks on her fair palm.

　　Fortunately, the first door she knocked on agreed to let them stay. Otherwise, she would have to talk to strangers again.

　　Yan Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

　　Yan Jin: I’m really not socially anxious, I just don’t like talking to strangers.
