Chapter 1208, Walking the Path She Took

After the Southwest War, the economic recovery of people’s livelihoods here was faster than imagined.

The entire southwestern fifty-odd barriers had completed full access, and the barriers were fully open, just like Luo City, as long as they had trade visas and work visas, barrier residents and itinerants could go to the various barriers.

The Qing Clan used tax reductions as a means to encourage residents to engage in business, and when residents began to move between the various barriers, the originally stagnant waters of Southwest finally came to life a bit.

Obviously, the 88th Barrier had just experienced a war, but it was completely thriving.

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan found a hotel to stay overnight, still two people, two rooms.

At night, Yang Xiaoguan went back to her room early and went to sleep, if placed in the past, the two people might still have to talk a lot.

In that home on Anning East Road, the two were just chatting through the wall panels until late at night.

And now, there seemed to be much less words between each other.

Ren Xiaosu stayed alone in the house and ruminated, and when he was alone, the first thing that came to his mind was, could Yang Xiaoguan be using this trip to the 88th wall as the last time to spend time together before parting?

He felt that Yang Xiaoguan’s attitude towards the relationship between the two of them must have changed, otherwise, why didn’t Yang Xiaoguan open the door of the key at the home of Barrier 144?

Originally, Ren Xiaosu actually felt that he might have thought too much, but the …… Key Door would not lie.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu again cried and laughed, who stipulates that people’s key door must be the same as yours?

Just like this nonsense for a night, Ren Xiaosu finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next day when Yang Xiaoguan knocked on the door and shouted at him to get up, Ren Xiaosu’s expression rarely had a trace of fatigue.

“Didn’t sleep well?” Yang Xiaoguan asked, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

“No need,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Wherever you want to go, I’ll accompany you.”

“Let’s go,” Yang Xiaoguan led the way in front, “You broke all the suits I bought you in Winston City, so I’ll customize a few more for you to go.”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “Wait, how did you know I broke the suits, were you there?”

“Of course,” Yang Xiaoguan slanted him a glance, “Not a bad performance.”

Previously, Ren Xiaosu had already learned from Zhang Xiaoman that Yang Xiaoguan and Zhou Yingxue had set off at a time that was earlier than Big Snob and the others, and it turned out that in the end, it was Yang Xiaoguan who had arrived in Ghent City together with Big Snob and the others.

Ren Xiaosu has never asked Yang Xiaoguan when he arrived, and now it seems that the other party has been lurking after arriving, ah, and even witnessed his own scene in Winston Manor bursting the hammer on the Berkeley family.

And this line of behaving well was probably praising Ren Xiaosu for not having any interactions with other members of the opposite sex along the way?

Ren Xiaosu broke out into a cold sweat when she thought of this.

“When did you follow me?” Ren Xiaosu asked cautiously.

Yang Xiaoguan calmly said, “You guess.”

This you guess is too meaningful, Ren Xiaosu simply can’t judge what the other side actually saw, didn’t see what ……

The more this happens, the more Ren Xiaosu scratches her ears.

The barriers in the tram buzzing past, early risers take the tram to work, Yang Xiaoguan familiar with the road with Ren Xiaosu on the 12 road, the two people sitting in the car shaking to run to Shunjiang Road.

Yang Xiaoguan said, “When you came to Barrier 88 before, I didn’t have time to show you around properly.”

“Is the store that makes clothes on Shunjiang Road?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Yes,” Yang Xiaoguan nodded, “In the past, our family used to have our clothes made to order on Shunjiang Road, but back then it was always the tailor who came to the door to measure the height and waistline, and I only went to the store once in a while to browse around. That is a husband and wife jointly opened the tailor store, father and their husband and wife are very familiar with each time that aunt to give me the measurement of the clothes, will smile and say a sentence, small hibiscus and grow taller ah. I was a bit disobedient when I was still small, so she would bring over a few pieces of candy in order to make me stand there obediently and measure my clothes.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that their trip to Barrier 88 was like helping Yang Xiaoguan reminisce about her past life, walking the paths she had once traveled and meeting the people who had appeared in her life.

At a certain moment Ren Xiaosu was a little thankful to Yang Xiaoguan’s parents, from the duck-tongued girl’s description he could hear that the other’s parents were very warm-hearted, to still have this kind of warm-heartedness in the Yang Clan Consortium was probably an anomaly in the Yang Clan itself.

If Yang Xiaoguan was as cold as the rest of the Yang Clan, it would be impossible for the two of them to have this current relationship.

On the tram, the two of them were sitting on the double seat at the back row, and the breeze of the early morning, which was still not too hot, poured in through the window, blowing Yang Xiaoguan’s short hair, which was almost at the level of her chin, backward and swaying it slightly.

Then, Yang Xiaoguan gently rested on Ren Xiaosu’s shoulder, and did not speak.

This kind of atmosphere made Ren Xiaosu suddenly feel like the silence of a man and woman in a long-distance relationship before the calamity before they were about to part, which made him even more panicked.

The frequency of his heartbeat began to change, and even his breathing would be affected, Yang Xiaoguan sensed all of this, and the corner of his mouth under the duck-tongue cap curled up once again.

“Get out of the car,” Yang Xiaoguan got up and got out of the car, while Ren Xiaosu followed behind, looking at the name of the tailor store a little out of breath.

Peace Tailor Shop, the word “peace” seemed unusually abrupt and beautiful in this era.

Yang Xiaoguan pushed open the door, and the door collided with the wind chimes on the doorframe, sending out a series of tinkling bells and bells, mixed with the creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open, it was like a greeting.

Inside the door, there was only a middle-aged woman who was holding up a leather ruler in her hand to cut and measure the cloth, and the other party greeted her cordially without lifting her head, “Welcome.”

Yang Xiaoguan stood still but didn’t say anything, the middle-aged woman looked up and saw that it was her, she froze, and then her eyes reddened: “It’s Xiaoguan, I’m glad you’re okay, I’m glad you’re okay! I haven’t seen you since the accident at the barrier, it must have been very hard for you after you left the 88th barrier.”

Yang Xiaoguan smiled, “I’m fine.”

She took off her cap, and the middle-aged woman gently stroked the top of her head, smiling with tears in her eyes, “Xiao Ge has grown taller again.”

“Well,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “Another centimeter taller.”

In fact, if there was no reference, the difference of one centimeter, the general public would not be able to notice it at all, this sentence and the action of stroking the head, in fact, it was more like a kind of warm tacit understanding.

At this time, the middle-aged woman looked towards Ren Xiaosu, she hesitated for a moment and asked with a smile, “Are you that Major Marshal of the Northwest Army, I’ve seen you in the pamphlet that wrote about the rankings of the Transcendents before, at that time, I was thinking that perhaps only a character like you would be worthy of Xiaoguan, but I can remind you ah, make sure to be nicer to Xiaoguan.”

The middle-aged woman didn’t care at all about what Transcendentals were really like, she had only bought that pamphlet in the first place after hearing that it had Yang Xiaoguan on it.
