Carried Away

Lu Xingzhi was stumped, he could not think of a reply to Jiang Yao's retort. 

It reminded him of Jiang Yao's mysophobia and how she would wash her hands multiple times a day and use a few washbasins for various activities. They could never share their usage, Jiang Yao was very particular about it.

He was relieved after realizing that it was just Jiang Yao's habit and had nothing to do with him.

That was all that mattered.

"The rescue efforts are coming to an end with the water levels of the flood greatly receding today. The weather these days seems to be great and we will be leaving Rong County earlier.

"I thought we could meet for a half-day at least after the selection, but looking at things now, it will be another week before I can see you again."
