Chapter 248 How Long Will You Keep Hiding?
When Jiang Suxin heard that voice, she froze in place.
She didn't move, and the man didn't urge her. He just stared at her with a cold smile.
Cold sweat broke out on the back of her neck. The woman tried to move her stiff neck, slowly turned around, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "You, you're still here."
"Yes, I'm still here." Luo Yuting said calmly, "I heard that you were enjoying the scenery on the roof. I was worried that my sudden appearance would disturb you, so I hesitated for a moment and decided to wait here for you to come back."
Jiang Suxin murmured weakly: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't wait for me."
"What did you say?"
"Huh? Nothing, I didn't expect you to come to Beichen Base, haha."
She laughed dryly, trying not to look too guilty.
Luo Yuting's gaze remained fixed on her face. Upon hearing her words, he frowned, as if complaining, "There's someone who's always avoiding me, and it's really upsetting me. She won't see me, so I have no choice but to chase her around the world."
"Who is it that you, Young Master Luo, are chasing after? You really don't know what's going on, haha."
"I don't know if that person has any idea, but there's a question that has been bothering me for a long time."
"What's the problem?"
After blurting out the question, Jiang Suxin regretted it. As expected, Luo Yuting smiled and said, "Jiang Suxin, I want to ask, how long are you going to hide from me?"
He asked directly, walking towards her as he spoke.
The tall figure kept approaching, and Jiang Suxin stepped back reflexively, stammering: "Why, why are you coming closer? I... am not hiding from you..."
"You're not hiding from me?" Pushing the girl into a corner, the man curled his lips and smiled, "That's even better."
"Good?" Jiang Suxin's mind went blank as his hot breath fell on her face. "Good what?"
"You're avoiding me, which means you hate me."
Luo Yuting supported himself on the wall behind her with one hand and leaned over to breathe close to her.
She was so close that she could even see his curled eyelashes and her reflection in his pupils.
His breath fell on her ear, low and with a smile: "Now you tell me that you are not avoiding me, isn't that indirectly telling me that you don't hate me?"
“…”What kind of logic is this?
"That's right. If you hated me, why would you have sex with me after drinking?" He narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly, "Jiang Suxin, have you been planning this for me for a long time?"
Her cheeks heated up uncontrollably. Jiang Suxin avoided his eyes that were rolling with waves, pursed her lips and said nothing.
She would show this expression when she encountered something difficult to decide.
Luo Yuting did not continue to force her. He withdrew his hand and took two steps back - the ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared immediately.
"If you find it bothering, I won't bother you anymore." Luo Yuting sighed, "You don't have to hide from me anymore."
…
It was not until the man left that Jiang Suxin came out of her daze.
She walked over quickly and closed the door, leaning her back against it and breathing heavily.
Finally left.
After not seeing him for a while, that guy has become more and more handsome. If he gets closer, she will...
Jiang Suxin curled her lips and squatted down against the door.
So... what? She was now helpless, like duckweed floating on the water, with no idea where she was going. What could she do?
…
Opposite the lighthouse, Jiang Ran sat on the steps, holding his chin and looking at the gate, waiting for Luo Yuting to come out.
Huo Lingyin raised one hand and placed it in front of her forehead, using the shadow cast by her palm to look towards the end of the street.
At the end of the street is the east gate of Beichen Base, and there is already a long queue outside the gate.
Huo Lingyin looked at them for a moment, then looked away: "Do you think that among those people... is the person we are waiting for?"
Jiang Ran wasn't interested in this matter: "Ask Si Xu—my Professor Si is omnipotent and knows everything."
After she finished speaking, the omnipotent Professor Si finally came out of the lantern tower.
"Solved?"
"Um."
Si Xu reached out and pulled Jiang Ran up from the steps, dusting off her skirt. "Since Jiang Suxin is here, that person will definitely come. We just need to wait and see."
Huo Lingyin was still surprised: "Is it really the lantern holder?"
Si Xu was silent.
Huo Lingyin was shocked: "Hey, I feel sorry for Luo Yuting. He finally found his sweetheart, but his sweetheart turned out to be..."
"You still have the heart to sympathize with Luo Yuting?" Si Xu reminded her, "You should think about what you will do if Luo Yuting decides to betray the alliance for his lover."
Losing Luo Yuting means losing the power of the entire Nanjun.
It would be fine if he just lost it, but if Jiang Suxin insisted on going against him, they would become enemies and fight against each other in the near future.
Huo Lingyin was silent.
After leaving the hospital, she arranged for Huo Heng to investigate Huo Xuan's recent interpersonal relationships and discovered that he had frequently been in and out of the lantern tower in the past month.
The lighthouse is an important observation point. Normally, his coming in and out would not attract Huo Lingyin's attention, but this time, with Huo Xuan's provocation, she had to be more careful.
Apart from the special power team that patrolled the lighthouse daily, the only person left in the lighthouse was the lamplighter who had lived on the rooftop for a long time.
If it was just an ordinary psychic, Huo Xuan would not need to frequently go in and out of the lighthouse. He could just invite the person to his residence.
After a little thought, she suspected the lamplighter.
It just so happened that Luo Yuting suggested visiting the lighthouse, so she found an excuse to accompany him.
Who knew that I would see such a bloody scene of old love reuniting.
"I've destroyed all the communication devices she uses to contact outsiders," Si Xu said. "To avoid suspicion, remember to send a notice later saying that the switchboard in the light tower is malfunctioning and temporarily unavailable."
They will soon find out who is behind Jiang Suxin.
Calculating the time they had left, Huo Lingyin was surprised: "Did you dismantle all the communication equipment she had hidden?"
"Um."
"How do you make sure there are no fish that slip through the net?"
"So I asked you to turn off the switchboard."
“…” Since you’re going to turn off the switchboard, then what’s the point of you working so hard to dismantle those things?
She was very curious, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear of being tortured by him.
Huo Lingyin didn't dare to ask, so Jiang Ran asked for her: "Si Xu, if the switchboard is turned off, what's the point of dismantling those things?"
Si Xu placed one hand on the little girl's shoulder, unlike the coldness he had shown when talking to Huo Lingyin: "Take it back and study it."
After the end of the world, all previous communication equipment became obsolete. Fortunately, the laboratory had been prepared and developed a communication tool that could temporarily replace mobile phones for the special power team that went out of the base to perform tasks.
Communication equipment is scarce, and ordinary people, including members of the special power team who are not part of the base, cannot be equipped with it.
Jiang Suxin's communication device looks light and convenient, and the requirements for communication equipment are not high. If I take it back and study it carefully, maybe everyone can have one, just like the mobile phones before the apocalypse.
