The meal didn't last too long.
After refilling a pot of tea twice, it seemed that all the topics of conversation had been exhausted. Guo Minjie picked up the tab and left the small restaurant with everyone.
"Well, I'll head home first, you all should rest early too. Developing rapport is important, but don't stay up too late."
Shuguang Garden was not far away.
Before leaving, Guo Minjie gave Lu Jincheng a meaningful glance.
...
"Jia Jia, I'll take a walk with him, I won't return to the dormitory just yet."
After the group walked back to the South Gate, Lu Jincheng tugged at Zhong Ruixi's sleeve and gave her a knowing look, to which she immediately understood and said,
"Why don't you let Liu Yisheng walk you back?"
"Alright, alright, we are aware of our manners, so we won't play the third wheel for you~"
It was only around seven o'clock, so heading straight back to the dormitory did seem a bit early.
