“Let’s save it for later,” Zhao Chenxin looked up and glanced at the customers still selecting clothes in the store, saying, “It’s getting late, we’ll close up and head back soon.”
“Hehe, okay,” Hao Yunyang nodded gently, just about to sit down on the stool when he suddenly spoke up, “Oh, by the way, I heard Nanxi River is quite fun. The weather is nice now, perfect for rafting. Shall we go check it out tomorrow?”
“Ah?” Zhao Chenxin was stunned, then looked at Chen Pingping sitting beside her, “I’m fine with it, but what about Pingping?”
“You two go ahead,” Chen Pingping seemed to have become more composed since opening the store. Although her heart was itching like a cat’s claws, she still smiled and shook her head, saying, “If we all go, who’s going to watch the store? Besides, I can’t bring myself to be a third wheel and ruin their couple time!”
“Then it’ll be just the two of us,” Hao Yunyang understood Chen Pingping’s thoughts and didn’t insist. He smiled and nodded, “I heard they have self-service barbecue and such, it’ll be a good chance to relax.”
“Relax?” Zhao Chenxin looked at Hao Yunyang strangely, her woman’s intuition involuntarily prompting her to ask, “Are you planning to do something?”
“Well, I might be busy for a while and won’t have much free time,” Hao Yunyang sighed somewhat helplessly, “Let’s go have fun tomorrow, then I’ll prepare myself mentally for work.”
“Oh,” Zhao Chenxin responded thoughtfully, with no further comment.
By the time Xuan Yi Space closed, it was already past ten at night. Chen Pingping and Zhou Junqiang were going out for a late-night snack, while Hao Yunyang and Zhao Chenxin went home separately.
As they entered the elevator and went upstairs, Zhao Chenxin, who hadn’t spoken the entire way, suddenly asked, “Is it about the organization’s matters?”
“Uh,” Hao Yunyang was momentarily stunned, then nodded along, his expression turning serious, “The Dragon Head’s health is getting worse, and his condition is deteriorating. This mission is related to selecting high-level candidates for the organization. Besides me, seven other members have received this task. It’s both a test and a competition. If successful, my status in the organization will rise quickly. If not, it’s no big deal.”
