Chapter 65 How could my sister fall in love with Qin Zhuo?
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Hai stepped forward to break the silence, "Young Master Ye, it's getting late. When are we leaving? Everyone's waiting."
Ye Yufan then came to his senses and straightened his expression. "I have already arranged the vehicles. Li Ruoyan will be going with us this time. Your rescue team will also be responsible for her safety."
Standing to the side, Li Ruoyan immediately put on a delicate and pitiful look upon hearing Ye Yufan's words, and looked at the search and rescue team members, saying, "Thank you all! With you here, I will definitely be safe."
Some members of the search and rescue team began to chime in: "No trouble at all. With your space, our operations will be much easier, and everyone will be able to relax a lot."
"That's right, with you here, we have so much less to worry about."
...
A barrage of compliments followed. Li Ruoyan stood there, her chin slightly raised, a smug smile creeping across her face.
Li Hai looked at Ye Yufan and asked, "Is Young Master Ye also going? With you here, everyone feels much more at ease."
Ye Yufan tilted his head slightly, a faint, arrogant smile playing on his lips, his gaze casually sweeping over Youxiang.
He scoffed, "I'm not going."
The old man wanted to set up this rescue team, thinking that by increasing the size of the team, he could win people's hearts and gain a foothold in the apocalypse.
But in Ye Yufan's eyes, this was meaningless.
Li Hai scratched his face with a puzzled look, then asked, "Then who should this rescue team listen to? There has to be someone to lead them."
Ye Yufan crossed his arms, his gaze lingering on Li Hai for a moment, before slowly saying, "You'll be in charge."
Li Hai's eyes widened immediately, flattered and surprised.
You have to understand, there are many people in this rescue team who are more capable than him, and Young Master Ye actually chose him. It's like a pie falling from the sky.
No one in the team had any objection to who should lead the team, since the rescue team was formed temporarily and no one took the command authority too seriously.
But Li Ruoyan didn't think so. She originally thought that Ye Yufan would hand over the command to her so that she could better complete the task Ye Yufan gave her—to prevent Qin Zhuo from coming back.
Unexpectedly, Ye Yufan didn't even consider her, which made her feel annoyed.
The rescue team was about to set off, and the vehicles started up with a "rumble".
Youxiang tugged at Qin Zhuo's sleeve and said, "Zhuozhuo, remember to bring me a gift, a pretty one."
Qin Zhuo looked at Youxiang in front of him and felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He gently patted Youxiang's head and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely bring it for you."
Qiao Yue's eyes lit up instantly when she saw this scene.
It seemed kind of sweet; she could almost see the pink bubbles between the two of them.
Qiao Yan's heart skipped a beat when she saw her younger sister suddenly staring blankly at Qin Zhuo and grinning foolishly.
She frowned.
Could Yueyue like Qin Zhuo? But Qin Zhuo likes Xiao Youzi. What should we do?
The rescue team's vehicles slowly drove away, raising a cloud of dust.
Ye Yufan turned around, revealing what he considered a handsome smile on his face.
He was about to call out "Miss Yuka" when he found that there was nothing in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment.
Um, where are they?
As soon as the car left, Youxiang and the others didn't linger for even a second longer, turning around and leaving immediately, not wanting to stay with Ye Yufan for even a second longer.
As Chen Yunfei walked forward, he suggested, "The base's trading market is up ahead. How about we go check it out?"
Yuka clapped her hands excitedly, "Great! I love shopping the most!"
Qiao Yue, holding Youxiang's hand, smiled and said, "I like it too. Maybe I can even find some good stuff."
Chen Yunfei then turned his gaze to Qiao Yan, "Qiao Yan, what do you say?"
Qiao Yan did not respond; her eyes were somewhat vacant.
How could my sister fall in love with Qin Zhuo?
This is really...
Seeing her sister looking lost in thought, Qiao Yue gently tugged at Qiao Yan's sleeve and asked with concern, "Sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yuxiang and Chen Yunfei also looked at her with concern.
Qiao Yan then snapped out of her daze. "Nothing, I was just spacing out. What were you guys talking about?"
Chen Yunfei repeated what he had just said, "How about we go take a look at the trading market? It must be very interesting."
Qiao Yan nodded. "I have no objection."
After saying that, he followed everyone and walked towards the trading market.
The trading market wasn't far; they arrived in just a few minutes' walk.
It's called a trading market, but in reality it's just a bunch of small stalls set up randomly on both sides of the road, with the goods sold simply laid out on the ground without any order.
The base owner did do something practical in this regard, by specifically arranging staff to manage the area.
The staff, dressed in uniform, moved through the crowd, shouting to maintain order and prevent any chaos such as robberies.
However, once outside the trading market area, if items are robbed or stolen, the staff mostly turn a blind eye and don't really care.
When Yu Xiang saw the bustling trading market, her eyes widened instantly.
She couldn't help but exclaim softly, "Wow, so many people!"
Yu Xiang looked around, wondering which stall she should visit.
Seeing this, Qiao Yue quickly reached out and pulled Youxiang, who was looking around and hadn't noticed the crowd around her, and was almost bumped into.
"Be careful not to get bumped into."
Yuka nodded quickly, like a well-behaved little rabbit, "Mmm, I understand."
Then, Youxiang held Qiao Yue's hand tightly and pointed in a less crowded direction, "Let's go take a look over there, there are fewer people there, it's not so crowded."
Chen Yunfei watched Youxiang and Qiao Yue run away hand in hand, and subconsciously glanced at Qiao Yan beside him, feeling a sweet warmth in his heart.
He thought to himself with delight: Haha, now I can spend time alone with Qiao Yan!
However, with people coming and going and noise constantly around them, this hardly counts as being alone together, but Chen Yunfei didn't care at all.
Chen Yunfei cleared his throat and mustered his courage to say to Qiao Yan, "Qiao Yan, tell me what you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you, no matter how expensive it is."
Qiao Yan glanced at Chen Yunfei indifferently, "No need, I can buy it myself. Besides, do you have any crystal cores or supplies with you? You can't buy anything without them."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei was stunned, and his previously proud head drooped instantly.
He then realized that he really hadn't brought anything with him.
At this moment, he was like someone who had vowed to buy something for the girl he liked, only to find out upon arrival that he hadn't brought his wallet at all, and was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
