Xu Shuo had been cooking for over an hour until evening came when he finally went to the living room to call everyone for dinner.
The girl artist looked at him with a brief flash of surprise, followed by a silent sigh of relief.
As it turned out, the man who had approached her in the afternoon was the village chief; fortunately, she had not revealed any flaws at the time. Otherwise, it would have been terrible if she had acted like she didn't recognize him.
Even finding the Village Chief's House was a matter of catching a child playing outside and asking for directions. Children are simple-minded, and the child just assumed she had forgotten the way.
This was much harder than a beginner's guide; at least those have arrow indicators.
The girl muttered to herself but maintained an unflappable exterior. As soon as Xu Shuo had set the table, she sat down with restraint.
"Not a lot of dishes, I hope the guests won't mind," Xu Shuo said with a polite smile.
