Looking at the ever-so-adamant Lu Yuan.
The Governor shook his head helplessly.
'It seems what I just said was no use. How can there be someone who doesn't want to be an official...?'
After some thought, the Governor figured Lu Yuan was just too young and lacked perspective.
However, he didn't say anything more.
Since Lu Yuan was intent on staying in Taiping City, then so be it.
The Governor immediately said:
"Since that's the case, I won't press the matter.
If you change your mind in the future, just come and tell me.
But I hope you decide quickly. After all, I won't be here for much longer."
...
「The next morning.」
Just as dawn was breaking, a carriage departed from the Provincial City, heading toward Taiping City.
The previous night, Lu Yuan and Song Meiqin had shared a room and a bed.
They had simply held each other all night; nothing else happened.
