In a twist of fate, Qiao Yanrou found herself transported into a post-apocalyptic novel, assuming the role of a beautiful but powerless villainess.
Initially unaware of her fictional reality,...
Chapter 52 Chapter 52
Qiao Yanrou didn't know who the person above was. He might be looking for her, or just passing through. If he was just passing through, it wouldn't have much of an impact on her. But if he was a strong person who insisted on taking her away...
She didn't think any further, but her palms were full of cold sweat, and she could only pray for good luck.
Ji Yuanchen knocked but heard nothing. He remained silent on the surface. The sound of his knocking was so low that the psychic outside the room could not hear it.
At this time, a person with special abilities walked in. Ji Yuanchen had already stood up before he heard his footsteps coming in.
"Brother Chen, let's go." The psychic looked around and quickly looked away.
"Okay, we'll leave right away." Ji Yuanchen raised his voice.
Qiao Yanrou, who was only a board away, heard it. "Brother Chen? Ji Yuanchen!"
Qiao Yanrou's eyes widened instantly, the surprise in them almost overflowing. Did she hear correctly? It was Ji Yuanchen?!
He...actually came here. She subconsciously covered her mouth and stood there in shock.
It's been so long, she's followed Fu Chuqing so far, but he's still looking for her...
Qiao Yanrou's eyes were full of disbelief. She heard someone calling "Brother Chen" and heard Ji Yuanchen's familiar voice. There was no mistake. The person who knocked on the partition just now was Ji Yuanchen.
Although she was very surprised, and even felt a little happy to meet him again, she did not say a word, nor did she walk out of the basement to recognize him.
Qiao Yanrou slowly lowered her eyelashes. She wanted to live a quiet life and currently just wanted to spend her days alone in peace.
So she would not go out and recognize Ji Yuanchen. He had been looking for her for so long. Although she felt bad about it, but... this place of settlement was so hard to find, she didn't want to give up the comfortable life that was within her reach.
Ji Yuanchen walked out of the abandoned house. Shen Luohan and a group of superpowers were about to get in the car, but he stopped and said, "You guys go ahead. Just leave me a car."
Shen Luohan frowned and asked him after a moment's hesitation: "Do you have a direction?"
Ji Yuanchen denied: "I don't want to look for it anymore."
"If you don't want to look for her, why don't you go back to the base?" Shen Luohan still questioned him. He had acted so many times in front of him and turned around to snatch away his beloved woman.
Ji Yuanchen looked up at the sky in the distance and said, "I want to walk around." After that, he got into a car alone, started the car and drove away.
"Boss Ji?! Boss Ji!" The people at the distant base were running around in panic. Why did he just leave like that?!
Ji Yuanchen just said, "I'll go back when I have time," and then he left.
There were still ten people outside the abandoned house, and there was enough space for three cars left.
Shen Luohan didn't believe it: "Follow him closely."
The remaining ten people quickly got into the cars, and then three cars followed Ji Yuanchen's car.
Qiao Yanrou put her ear to the partition and heard the sound of cars leaving one after another outside. So many people came to see her?
She listened for a while, but heard no more sound. She sat on the mattress in a daze. The fact that Ji Yuanchen was still looking for her had a certain impact on her.
She couldn't describe her feelings; they were quite complicated.
After thinking about it for a while, I started to feel hungry, so I decided to... cook first.
On the other side, Ji Yuanchen was driving towards the beach, as he said he wanted to go for a walk.
There were three cars following behind his car, and they had been following him for half a day. Shen Luohan followed the route he was going and found that it was indeed the seaside, which eliminated the last bit of doubt about him.
After all, before this, he had searched every place that Ji Yuanchen had searched. There was no reason why Ji Yuanchen would find it but he didn't.
Furthermore, it was a good thing for Ji Yuanchen to give up looking for Qiao Yanrou. He was happy to have one less rival in love.
Ji Yuanchen was driving and looking at the rearview mirror. The three cars following him had turned around. When they turned around and left, he continued driving forward and did not intend to turn back.
In the basement of an abandoned house, after finishing her meal, Qiao Yanrou's mind was full of what happened not long ago. It felt unreal that Ji Yuanchen came from such a far place to find her.
But they have all left, so let's just pretend that nothing happened.
Qiao Yanrou quickly adjusted her state. Around dusk, she listened for a long time but heard no sound. She quietly opened the partition and saw the sunset shining in from the window. She slowly walked out of the basement.
Most of the day has passed, and I guess they have gone far away.
She first watered the vegetable garden behind through the window. I don’t know if they saw the disturbed vegetable garden behind. They probably came in here, took a look and left. After all, they didn’t stay for long.
Qiao Yanrou recalled Ji Yuanchen knocking on the partition several times. Did he… discover the basement? Or was he just trying to see if there was anything underneath?
But he had already left, so he probably hadn't discovered the basement. Otherwise, if he had, why didn't he open it and take a look?
While making random guesses, she watered the vegetable garden, retracted her supernatural powers, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
When she came out of the bathroom, visibility outside had become very low, so she hurried back to the basement.
The lights in the basement were bright, making Qiao Yanrou feel at ease as soon as she entered.
Maybe it was because she met Ji Yuanchen again today. She tossed and turned for a long time when she was sleeping and couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was full of Ji Yuanchen's low voice.
The next day, Qiao Yanrou slept until she woke up naturally, rubbing her eyes and half-sitting on the bed. She had no idea when she fell asleep last night. She was half awake and half asleep for a long time before she fell into a deep sleep.
Just like the previous few days, I walked out of the basement to water the vegetable garden. This time, I didn't do it through the window. Instead, I strolled around the garden and carefully checked whether the vegetables that had just emerged were intact.
Qiao Yanrou looked around the vegetable garden and began to water the plants evenly with satisfaction using her water ability.
The morning sun shining on her was so beautiful.
On a dense tree nearby, Ji Yuanchen's figure was hidden among the branches, and he finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night again.
She seemed to be... very comfortable. Ji Yuanchen's hands tightly grasped the branch, and then slowly loosened their grip.
He missed her, loved her, and wanted to tie her to his side all the time, but... she obviously wanted freedom more.
Ji Yuanchen tried his best to restrain the urge to hug her tightly in his arms. She should have been able to hear his voice in the basement yesterday, but she did not choose to respond at that time. Today he wanted to try again.
