Fang Qingxun genuinely liked Jiang Li. Being with Jiang Li made him feel very comfortable. Although they had only met twice, he really liked her. Of course, this liking wasn't romantic; he wanted to treat her like a younger sister.
"Jiang Li, don't worry about him. He's just joking. That's just how he is. He's very outgoing. Don't mind him." Gu Jin was speechless at Fang Qingxun. He had only met Jiang Li twice and he was already acting like a stranger. Wasn't he afraid of embarrassing Jiang Li?
"Boss, I'm not joking. Look how beautiful Jiang Li is, how skilled she is, and how destined she is to be with us. It would be such a waste not to become sworn sisters." He was really serious.
"Shut up," Gu Jin said, rubbing his forehead. He knew that Fang Qingxun genuinely thought Jiang Li was a good person, which was why she brought up this idea. Fang Qingxun wasn't like this with everyone, and he was just afraid that Jiang Li didn't know that.
"Actually, it was just a coincidence." Jiang Li politely declined Fang Qingxun's offer. It wasn't that she thought they were bad people, but rather that she wasn't the type to be overly familiar with others. Besides, she had something to hide from them, and she knew Fang Qingxun meant well.
"Sigh, girl, you really don't..."
Fang Qingxun wanted to say something, but Gu Jin glanced at him, and Fang Qingxun shut up.
"Why don't we get something to eat first? It's getting dark, let's light a fire." Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Jiang Li quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, I want to eat hot pot today. I've been craving it for so long." Fang Qingxun immediately chimed in when he heard about food. He knew Jiang Li was unwilling, and that he had acted impulsively.
"Captain, what would you like to eat? I have lots of food here, take a look."
Gu Jin picked up the bread and said, "I'll eat this."
Fang Qing gave her boss a sympathetic look, then happily went off to prepare the self-service hot pot.
Jiang Li ate snail rice noodles, and he had his own pot to cook them. Since Fang Qingxun was eating hot pot, he wasn't worried about the smell attracting other people. There were three of them, and they were all pretty good fighters. Only Gu Jin was pitifully eating dry bread.
The three of them built a small fire in the middle of the house, then sat around it eating and chatting.
"Now that you've met, are you planning to leave tomorrow?"
“Yes, we’re leaving tomorrow. Are you coming with us? We can travel together for a part of the way to the base,” Gu Jin replied, looking at Jiang Li.
"Then I'll set off with you tomorrow." I originally thought it would take many days to get to the base, but I didn't expect to find Fang Qingxun in just a few days.
"Girl, it seems we can travel together for a while longer." Gu Jin had already told him that Jiang Li was only dropping him off and that she would be leaving afterward.
"I don't know either. By the time you get to the base, will Shi Lin still be there? He'll probably already be gone." If you manage to run into Shi Lin, that would truly be fate.
"What does he look like? If I run into him, I can pass on your message." It's unlikely we'll run into each other again, but Jiang Li didn't say these words.
"He's a little taller than Fang Qingxun, wears gold-rimmed glasses, has a mole under his left eye, and a tattoo on his left wrist. If you run into him, please tell him to wait for us at the base, and we'll come find him later." Gu Jin described Shi Lin's appearance, but like Jiang Li, he thought it was unlikely they would both run into each other.
"Okay, if I run into him, I'll tell him."
The group chatted for a long time, mostly Fang Qingxun talking, with Jiang Li and Gu Jin occasionally responding. Actually, Jiang Li quite liked the current situation.
After chatting for a long time, the group finally rested. The three of them arranged to take turns on night duty, starting with Jiang Li, then Gu Jin, and finally Fang Qingxun. The middle shift was the most tiring. Jiang Li and Fang Qingxun had to drive the next day, while Gu Jin was in the best condition, so Gu Jin was assigned to the middle shift.
Nothing happened during that time. Jiang Li had been worried that someone would smell the odor and come over, but no one did.
Actually, some people smelled the odor while Jiang Li and the others were eating, but they were deterred by Jiang Li's snail rice noodles and thought it was something smelly, so they didn't come over.
A few of us chatted quite late last night, so we got up quite late this morning. After washing up and having breakfast, we set off.
Fang Qingxun's car was leading the way, with Gu Jin sitting in the passenger seat. Gu Jin had already put all her things in Fang Qingxun's car, while Jiang Li followed behind in his own car.
Unlike when they came, they didn't have to rush, so they drove more slowly. They encountered several robberies along the way, but they managed to deal with them all. Overall, it was a close call.
Before they knew it, it was time to part ways. Three days had passed since they arrived. The three stopped their cars and said goodbye to each other. From this point on, they would not be going their separate ways.
"Goodbye, little sister. We'll come to the base to find you once we find our companions," Fang Qingxun said reluctantly.
"Okay, goodbye, I'll be waiting for you at the base." After answering Fang Qingxun, Jiang Li turned to Gu Jin and said, "Don't forget my reward."
"Yes, I won't forget, don't worry."
"That's good, I'll be going now."
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he drove off, waved, and left. Gu Jin and the others waited until Jiang Li's car was far away before starting their own car and leaving.
The base is located in a 5A-level scenic area in H City. It is nestled against the mountains and by the water, with a mild climate in winter and a cool climate in summer. In my previous life, many people would come here to escape the summer heat, and people would also come in droves in other seasons.
Jiang Li drove towards the base. In his previous life, he had also been to this base and lived there for six years, so he was quite familiar with the route to the base.
Driving alone made things much easier for Jiang Li. He took out a pear from his spatial storage and ate it as he drove. They were already quite close to the base, and it was already past 1 a.m. He figured they would arrive at the base late at night, so Jiang Li decided to spend the night in the wilderness and go to the base the next morning.
