Chapter 12 Sunset Village

Yan Kui followed the navigation for almost an hour.

The cell phone signal was barely there. Looking up, all around were towering mountains. Underfoot was a fairly flat path, but it was too narrow; you could probably only ride an electric scooter or a small tricycle.

Yan Kui didn't see a single person in that hour, not even a cat or dog.

She was so tired she wanted to just faint.

I found a big rock to sit on and rest for a while. I took out a bottle of water and two packets of biscuits from my bag and started munching on them.

Yan Kui looked at the food in her hand and tears welled up in her eyes; it was the only food she had brought with her.

Having been pampered for over twenty years, she had never seen such a backward place before...

After finishing her meal, Yan Kui sighed, "Let's continue on our journey."

Ten minutes later, Yan Kui faintly heard a rumbling sound.

Looking up, she saw a boy with dyed yellow hair riding a motorcycle toward her.

Yan Kui waved to him as if she had seen a savior and called out, "Hello~!"

When the blond-haired man saw the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise.

Goodness, he had never seen such a beautiful person in his life.

Today, Yan Kui wore long sleeves and trousers, and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, revealing her beautiful face.

Huang Mao stopped his motorcycle in front of Yan Kui and stared in disbelief.

Yan Kui smiled and waved in front of the blond-haired man: "Handsome? Can you give me a ride? I'm going to Luoxia Village up ahead."

Seeing that Huang Mao didn't react, Yan Kui waved her hand at him again.

"Hello……?"

The blond-haired man snapped back to reality, an unnatural blush creeping onto his face, and said, "Okay...okay..."

As he spoke, he turned the motorcycle around.

Yan Kui was overjoyed, and her smile grew even wider.

Suddenly, Huang Mao stopped, a handsome and dashing figure flashing through his mind, and he immediately put away his flirtatious thoughts.

The motorcycle, which had been partially turned, was now back on its original position.

Not daring to look at Yan Kui's bright and beautiful face, she said, "I'm sorry, I have to go pick someone up. If I'm late, Brother Yin will kill me..."

Huang Mao swallowed hard and said, "You can walk over there. It's only a 40-50 minute walk from here to the village, it'll be quick."

They then started the engine and quickly drove away.

Yan Kui was stunned. Watching the blond-haired man ride away on his motorcycle, her mood plummeted from heaven to the bottom.

"What the hell? Who wants to kill him? Can't you see the beautiful woman needs help...?"

Yan Kui was in a terrible mood. With a sullen face, she leaned against a tree and grumbled, "Next time I want to buy an electric scooter and ride it here..."

Having exhausted all other options, Yan Kui rested under the tree for ten minutes before heading towards Luoxia Village again.

After walking for about half an hour, Yan Kui could vaguely see a tall archway ahead, so she quickened her pace.

Many villagers were sitting under the archway, mostly elderly men and women chatting idly.

As soon as Yan Kui appeared with her small bag, she attracted everyone's attention.

When did such a beautiful girl appear in Luoxia Village?

Yan Kui was about to ask a question when a middle-aged woman dressed in a fashionable Chinese cheongsam asked, "Beautiful girl, who are you looking for?"

These people all had friendly eyes, unlike the stereotypical image of unruly people from impoverished areas that Yan Kui had imagined.

She flashed a sweet smile and said, "Auntie, I'd like to ask if there's a family here with the surname Yan?"

Before the fashionable middle-aged woman could speak, the old man in the white undershirt spoke up first, "What do you want with his family?"

Yan Kui told the truth, "I am a daughter of the Yan family."

"What?!"

The uncles and aunties who were originally sitting under the archway immediately gathered around, chattering amongst themselves: "When will the Yan family have a daughter?! They only have a son!"

"Yeah, this little girl is talking nonsense, isn't she?"

"Hey, you know what, this little girl's eyes really do look like Yan Sheng's. Could it really be him?"

Suddenly, the stylishly dressed middle-aged woman spoke up: "No one is home at the Yan family's place right now. Let me call the village chief and the Party Secretary over first, so we can find out what's going on."

After saying that, he called out to his back, "Chengcheng! Call your dad over here!"

A little boy named Chengcheng, whose body was tanned dark from the sun, heard someone looking for his father and immediately went home to call for help.
