Chapter 1871: 17: Going Out Together

"Yun Bo, are you at home?" A girl’s voice with a heavy accent sounded from outside. "I’m here to see you."

Gu Yunbo tidied her clothes, placed them on the bed, and ran out. A dark-skinned girl was already standing inside the room. She had big eyes, braided hair, and was as thin as a stick.

This was a family that recently moved in next door, and her name was Shi Chunlan.

"You’re at home? Let’s go out and play!" Shi Chunlan laughed foolishly, "I see you at home every day, aren’t you bored?"

Shi Chunlan knew her in her previous life, but they rarely interacted. At that time, her personality was gloomy, and Shi Chunlan, being timid, didn’t dare to approach her. Unexpectedly, after her rebirth, someone actually came to ask her to play.

"Where to?" She asked stiffly.

Growing up, she never had the chance to play. When her mother was clear-headed, she’d force her to read and write, and when she wasn’t, she had to take care of her.

The concept of going out to play felt unfamiliar and intriguing to her.

"To the Provincial Rescue Center! I heard there’s a performance today, those arts comrades are so nice to look at." Shi Chunlan’s face was flushed with excitement, she was too timid to go alone, Ping Simin didn’t like playing with her, so she had no choice but to come to Gu Yunbo.

"Are you going? I’ve never seen a performance growing up! I only ever heard them on the radio in the village." Shi Chunlan looked at her expectantly.

"Then wait for me." Gu Yunbo thought for a moment and finally agreed, turning back to her room to change clothes and going out with Shi Chunlan. The Provincial Rescue Center wasn’t far from the compound, just an hour’s walk, and it’d be faster if they had the confidence to ride a bike.

Ever since coming to the Ping Family, her mind had been focused on training, she really needed to go out and learn more about the situation. As for the trouble-making Shen Family brothers, she had been pondering for a long time, and the simplest solution was to get rid of them early.

Gu Yunbo wasn’t so confident, she knew Shen Yu wasn’t easy to deal with, so she could only desperately strengthen herself.

The two of them walked towards the Provincial Rescue Center, Shi Chunlan occasionally observing her with a look of wanting to say something but hesitating.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Yun Bo, you seem even skinnier now." Shi Chunlan looked at Gu Yunbo’s slender and frail figure, then at her own chubby self.

She glanced at herself, not taking it to heart. At seventeen in her previous life, she was like this, so she didn’t mind much. Actually, this period of training, she’d eaten quite a bit, not gaining weight might be related to her constitution!

"So thin and fair." Shi Chunlan said enviously: "I’ve never seen anyone whiter than you growing up!"

Gu Yunbo’s expression turned slightly somber, "The President’s son has fairer skin than me." Meng Fan’s skin radiated a jade-like luster, something she couldn’t compare to.

Shi Chunlan hadn’t been out of the countryside for long and wasn’t very familiar with the compound not far away. She only nodded blankly at Gu Yunbo’s words and then asked repeatedly about her future plans and what she wanted to do.

"How about you?"

"I want to join the rescue team. I’ve wanted to be in the rescue team since I was little."

Gu Yunbo lazily tugged at the corner of her mouth; whether it was the Family Compound or the compound, ninety-nine percent of them would choose to join the rescue team in the future. Those of their fathers’ generation in the rescue team, the entry conditions would be easier than for ordinary folks.

Actually, back then, most people got around on foot. Shi Chunlan, used to farm work in the countryside, didn’t find walking tiring. Gu Yunbo’s physical condition was already capable of cross-country weight-bearing, and the two easily arrived at the entrance of the Provincial Rescue Center.
