Night fell, and a gentle breeze swept across the mountains, bringing a cool sensation.
Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue returned to the RV, washed up, covered Lily and Little Yellow Hair with blankets, and the cat and dog fell asleep peacefully. Then they went to bed.
The RV was quiet.
"Chu Fang."
"Um."
Do you regret it?
"Regret what?"
“You regret following me,” Zhong Tingyue said. “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have ended up like this. You would still be living the life of a wealthy man, envied by so many people.”
"No."
"I don't believe it~~~" Zhong Tingyue's voice was drawn out, and upon closer listening, it carried a hint of arrogance.
"Believe it or not." Chu Fang rolled his eyes in the dimly lit car.
The RV immediately fell silent again. Looking out the window, all that could be seen was a silvery-white glow, and the full moon hung in the sky, as if one could see Chang'e dancing gracefully.
Chu Fang slowly closed his eyes, and just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly felt Zhong Tingyue turn over. A moment later, she rolled onto him and lay on top of him.
He opened his eyes, touched the other person's forehead, and felt the delicate eyebrows.
Suddenly... he felt a pair of smooth hands moving up and down his body, even touching places they shouldn't have.
With immense willpower, Chu Fang suppressed his burning desire, grabbed those hands, and said helplessly, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing..." In the dim light, Zhong Tingyue's pretty face flushed red, revealing a hint of shyness. "I thought..."
Before she could finish speaking, Chu Fang understood what Ms. Zhong was thinking. His pupils dilated, a ray of light pierced through the darkness, and for a moment, his breathing became rapid.
After a few seconds, he said, "Didn't you say it was still early?"
“That was the old plan, but things are different now.” Zhong Tingyue pinched Chu Fang’s face, shaping it into various forms. Although she couldn’t see any changes, the thought was enough to make her happy. “Now, we’re stuck here, with no tomorrow in sight. While we still have breath, we might as well resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Chu Fang's eyes darted around, and he hesitated before saying, "It's not a good idea... is it...?"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue immediately rolled off Chu Fang's body, lying on her side with her back to him: "Then forget it, let's go to sleep early."
Huh?
I was just wondering if there was something fishy going on, if you were trying to play a prank on me again, and why did you suddenly change your attitude?
A woman's emotions are like a child's.
Chu Fang thought about it carefully, but still followed his lower instincts. He smiled and flipped Zhong Tingyue's graceful body over. The latter shook him off and said, "Hey, don't touch me. Believe me or not, I'll sue you for violating a woman's will."
I don't believe it.
“... ..."
"It was my fault just now," Chu Fang apologized first, then added, "That news was too sudden, you have to explain it."
After a few seconds of silence, Zhong Tingyue decided to stop being dramatic. She wasn't the type of woman who liked to be dramatic; she preferred to reason with people. She sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and the light dispelled the darkness, illuminating the small RV brightly.
Zhong Tingyue was wearing a white nightgown. The thick nightgown did not hide her graceful figure; on the contrary, it made her even more charming. Her beautiful hair cascaded down her back as she stared at Chu Fang and said, "I just think it's time. That's all."
Chu Fang stared into those pupils, as deep as a lake, with light and shadow dancing within them, as if possessing a magical power. He saw seriousness and earnestness in those eyes; they were truly discussing that matter with him.
He replied, "Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue pursed her lips and smiled, while Chu Fang also smiled. However, after a few seconds, the former's smile disappeared, and she said, "No, I've changed my mind."
“... ..."
The smile froze on Chu Fang's face.
He tilted his head: ?
Are you kidding me?
fraud!
I'm never going to be friends with you again!
Zhong Tingyue turned off the light, lay down again, pulled the blanket up, and said slowly, "Tonight was indeed too rushed. Let's do it tomorrow night. We need to prepare some kind of ceremony."
"President Zhong is wise!"
... ...
On the other side.
Yang Meina, He Yi, Zhou Qiong, and Chu Yi returned to the hotel from the police station, filled with disappointment and even despair. The police had mobilized all their manpower to search everywhere, even using high-tech methods, but they had not found any useful information. It was as if Chu Fang and Zhong Tingyue had vanished from the face of the earth.
Seeing He Yi's pale face and the need for oxygen, Yang Meina noticed that altitude sickness was affecting the group, especially He Yi, who was petite and rarely exercised due to sitting in an office all year round. She suggested, "Why don't you go to the hospital to get checked out?"
He Yi shook her head: "I know what I'm doing."
Yang Meina didn't say anything more. She sat on the sofa, covered her head with her hands, pondered for a few seconds, then perked up and said, "That's good. No news is the best news. At least it's not going in the direction we don't want."
He paused, looked at the other three, and continued, "Next, we must focus on finding them. Mobilize all available resources to search for them. I believe they are both very lucky and won't leave this world so easily..."
Yang Meina assigned the important tasks to the group, gave them a few words of encouragement, and the gloom in the group lessened a little.
The four of them lay down together, gazing out the window at the high, bright moon, their hearts filled with anxiety.
... ...
Central Plains.
[RouRou: Sister.]
[RouRou: Older sister.]
[RouRou: My dear sister, please reply!]
【... ...】
Zhong Rou looked at the chat messages on WeChat. In the past few days, she had sent messages to her older sister, but the other party had not replied. Even Chu Fang had not replied, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Yang Meina said there was no signal where they were, but Zhong Rou still felt... something was wrong.
Based on her understanding of Yang Meina, her older sister, and Chu Fang, she knew that things were definitely not as simple as Nana made them out to be; something serious must have happened.
Have my older sister and brother-in-law gone missing? ... ...A bold idea popped into Zhong Rou's mind.
This is not impossible, it is very likely!
“Little girl.” Gao Ruoyun’s voice came from the side, “Your sister hasn’t messaged me for several days, I’m a little worried about her.”
Zhong Rou suppressed her anxiety and forced a smile: "Mom, my sister is having a great time, how could she have time to call you?"
As she spoke, she flipped through her phone, showing Gao Ruoyun her WeChat chat history: "Look, this is what my older sister and I chatted about today. We were so happy we forgot all about home."
Actually, that wasn't WeChat, but a WeChat simulator downloaded by Zhong Rou. All the chat logs on it were edited by Zhong Rou to put her parents' minds at ease.
She believed that Yang Meina was definitely doing everything she could to find her older sister and brother-in-law, and that she was not telling them the news in order to avoid causing a worse impact. It would not be too late to tell them when the truth came out.
Her task was to reassure her parents who were staying at home.
Gao Ruoyun stared at the chat history carefully. Her eldest daughter's profile picture, ID, and chat time all matched. After looking at the conversation between the two, her anxiety lessened. She let out a breath and said reproachfully, "Your sister is quite naughty. She can message you, but why doesn't she message me?"
Zhong Rou said angrily, "When you get back, you have to talk to her. She's just too inhuman."
