166 Going to the Village
Xiang Yin’s car slowly moved on the streets of Hengshui Town. It was not easy for him to find a place to park.
Gu Man was stunned. “We’re not there yet. Why are we stopping?”
“I’m buying some things.” Xiang Yin pressed the handbrake. “Wait for me in the car.”
“There’s really no need. My grandmother won’t mind. We’ll be entering Han City later. Besides, I’ve already troubled you enough by making you drive us.” Gu Man already felt that she owed Xiang Yin and couldn’t trouble him anymore.
“I’m a junior. I can’t be empty-handed when meeting an elder, right? I’m just buying a little,” Xiang Yin said leisurely.
When Gu Man heard Xiang Yin say that he was meeting an elder, she felt that something was wrong. However, seeing that Xiang Yin insisted, she could only say helplessly, “Then I’ll go with you. I’m more familiar with this place.”
“Okay.”
As soon as Xiang Yin and Gu Man got out of the car, they attracted everyone’s attention.
There were only a few people coming and going in this town. At this moment, an unfamiliar handsome man and a beautiful woman suddenly appeared. How could they not attract everyone’s attention?
The aunties and uncles started to whisper and discuss. Coincidentally, the dialect in Hengshui Town was similar to Chinese, so they could understand most of it.
“Aiyo, how can there be such a handsome person? He doesn’t look like he’s from town.”
“Look, that man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. If you ask me, it must be a couple from a big city coming to experience rural life.”
“Keep guessing. Can’t they be siblings?”
“I can’t do anything else, but I’ve always been good at judging people. They’re definitely a couple.”
“I don’t think so. Couples hold hands. Look, they’re not even next to each other.”
“Why haven’t I seen you and your husband holding hands on the street? If he’s not embarra.s.sed, I’m embarra.s.sed.”
Immediately, everyone started laughing and joking. The gazes that were on Gu Man and Xiang Yin finally shifted.
However, Gu Man and Xiang Yin still felt like monkeys being looked at and guessed at by others.
When Gu Man heard these discussions, she felt a headache coming on. She urged Xiang Yin, “Let’s go to the supermarket to buy a box of milk. Let’s go.”
Xiang Yin looked at Gu Man acting unnaturally and said in amus.e.m.e.nt, “Okay.”
When they arrived at the supermarket, the female salespeople looked at Xiang Yin’s tall figure and prince-like temperament. Their faces were flushed, especially the young girl at the cashier counter. She wanted to look at Xiang Yin, but she didn’t dare to look straight at him. She spent a long time checking out two cartons of milk.
Seeing how fl.u.s.tered the cashier was, Gu Man looked up and rolled her eyes before letting out a long sigh.
After a long time, the two of them finally got into the car. Gu Man heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing Gu Man’s reaction, Xiang Yin immediately smiled. “Didn’t you grow up in town? Are you still not used to it?”
Gu Man looked at Xiang Yin bitterly. “If it were me alone, of course I would be fine.”
Xiang Yin smiled helplessly and said, “It’s the fault of the clothes I wore today, it doesn’t seem to fit in.”
Xiang Yin did not know that Gu Man was going back to the countryside today, so he dressed more casually.
Gu Man thought to herself that it was not just her clothes, but her entire person that was out of place, okay? There was definitely no such thing as keeping a low profile when she was traveling with Xiang Yin.
Xiang Yin started the car. “The navigation at the back might not be accurate. You have to point the way.”
“Okay.”
The car finally drove into Gu Man’s grandmother’s courtyard.
Uncle Huang Jun welcomed him happily. As soon as Xiang Yin got out of the car, Huang Jun was stunned. Were the drivers of Han City so handsome?
Gu Man introduced, “Second Master, this is my uncle.”
Xiang Yin called out, “h.e.l.lo, Uncle Huang.”
Then, he introduced Xiang Yin to Huang Jun. “Uncle, this is my friend. His surname is Xiang. You can call him Mr. Xiang.”
“Uncle Huang, just call me Little Xiang.” The veins on Xiang Yin’s forehead twitched when he heard Gu Man say “Mr. Xiang”.
When Gu Man heard Xiang Yin say “Little Xiang”, she held back her laughter.
Xiang Yin had really sacrificed a lot today. Not only was he being watched and discussed in the market, but he was also called Little Xiang in this farmhouse. It was really hard on him.
Only then did Huang Jun realize that he had thought wrongly. When he heard Gu Man say that they were friends, he quickly said even more enthusiastically, “Welcome, welcome. Then I’ll be careless today and call you Little Xiang.”
“Uncle Huang, this is the milk I just bought in town. I came in a hurry this morning, so I bought some simple milk.”
Xiang Yin took two boxes of milk and Huang Jun quickly took them.
