Chapter 51 Anxiety
Time flies like an arrow.

Time flies and it is Saturday as agreed with Lu Qinghe.

In order to avoid He Chen's suspicion, Lin Jiao made an excuse the night before that she was going to visit her sister Lin Yanru who married into the next village.

She put on a complete show and even packed a basket of eggs according to local customs.

Lin Jiao even chose to stagger the time she and Lu Qinghe left.

She just didn't believe that anyone could find out.

As for Lin's mother and the Lin family, Lin Jiao didn't say anything.

Although she was 90% sure, Lin Jiao remained silent until the final decision was made.

Therefore, the only people in the entire Linjia Village who really knew that she was going to take the exam were Lu Qinghe and her, and no one else.

The town was still as lively as usual. Lin Jiao walked to the bun shop where she and He Chen had eaten last time and bought a few buns.

She bought a few extra on purpose and left them for Lu Qinghe when he arrived.

After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the place they had agreed on.

Lu Qinghe was behind her and had not arrived yet.

Seeing that it was still early, Lin Jiao waited leisurely without getting anxious.

By the time Lin Jiao had almost finished making the buns, more and more people were setting up stalls on the road, but there was still no sign of Lu Qinghe.

Lin Jiao was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Lu Qinghe had long arms and legs, and there were many ox carts coming to the town, so it was not impossible for him to not be able to squeeze on a cart.

How come they haven’t arrived yet? Besides, this is definitely the place they agreed on.

She looked around hesitantly, and asked a passerby out of concern.

This street is indeed called Xianglin Street, and it has been more than half an hour since the time they agreed to meet.

The buns that were still warm in my hand had already cooled down to the point where the filling inside hadn't even been seen by this person.

"System, check Lu Qinghe's location."

Since she couldn't wait for anyone, Lin Jiao could only rely on the system positioning to see where the person was.

According to her understanding, Lu Qinghe was not unreliable. He would not be late unless something unexpected happened.

The system was very efficient and located Lu Qinghe's position in a short while.

But... this person is still in Linjia Village.

"What's wrong with Lu Qinghe? Why isn't he leaving the house yet?"

Lin Jiao frowned slightly, her tone doubtful.

"Maybe he got up late, host."

The system turned up and down in circles, and said soothingly, "Host, don't worry."

"I'm not in a hurry. How can I not be in a hurry? I'm so anxious that I don't know if I can catch up with the exam now."

As she spoke, Lin Jiao paused, the worst guess already coming to her mind.

Could it be that they were exposed and He Chen suspected them? But logically speaking, the timeline and destination didn't match.

Lu Qinghe on the other side breathed a sigh of relief only after he walked out of the Lin family.
