The wind on the cliff was so strong that after blowing quietly for a while, I felt a little unbearable, so I took Qin Lan back to the village to rest.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the next morning when it was just light I got up and went to Jack's room. After all, there were still things to discuss.
Seeing that I got up so early today, Jack greeted me happily, holding a towel in his hand and saying with a smile:
"What brings you here this morning? Have you had breakfast? If not, then we can have breakfast together from now on."
Although Jack looks so enthusiastic now, my heart is full of sorrow and I have no desire to eat at all.
He immediately refused and said, "I had already eaten when I came here. I only came to see you today because I have something else to discuss. Do you have time?"
Maybe it was because the expression on my face looked too serious when I said these words, so Jack was a little stunned after hearing these words.
But then he wiped his hands with the towel and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say. If we find any problems now, we can correct them sooner."
Now that the other party has said this, I feel that there is no need for me to continue to be polite, so I will just get straight to the point and continue:
"I'm telling you, we do know each other. Although we met by chance yesterday, I now want to explore the ancient tomb with him."
Xiao Chen was listening to me seriously at first, but after hearing this sentence, he suddenly looked a little listless.
He fiddled with the towel in his hand, thinking about other things in his heart, and finally said hesitantly:
"Although I am indeed very happy for the two of you, it's not a trivial matter after all, so you should think it through carefully before going."
"We can't listen in there for that long. We know how dangerous it is. If there's one more person, wouldn't it increase the danger even more?"
When I first came here, I basically knew that Jack would definitely disagree with my proposal. After all, who would be willing to bring a woman with him for no reason?
Sure enough, after hearing the other party's answer, I could only shake my head lightly and said, "I will definitely not let Qin Lan become a burden to us."
When I said these words, my tone was very firm, because now that I had promised Qin Lan that I would definitely take her in, I would definitely not go back on my word.
At this moment, when Jack saw how determined I was, he could only sigh softly. After all, he really didn't know what to say.
The matter was settled like this. When I told Qin Lan the good news again, her eyes were indeed full of excitement.
But after a moment of happiness, he replied hesitantly, "Since we have already reached an agreement, can I meet Xiao Chen before I leave?"
At this moment, Xiao Chen was like a thorn in my heart. Even when I heard his name, I felt extremely impatient.
After noticing my impatience, Qin Lan hurriedly explained: "I just want to make things clear between us, don't think too much."
After hearing this, I felt a little better and immediately decided to question Xiao Chen with Qin Lan.
When the two of us entered Xiao Chen's room one after the other, the moment he saw Qin Lan, Xiao Chen's eyes seemed to light up and he said:
"I knew you would come to save me. After we escape, we will live a happy life together. No one will be able to stop us then."
Xiao Chen's tone was so happy when he said these words, but when he turned the corner and saw me following behind him, his expression changed immediately and he asked:
"Why are you here? Qin Lan is already with me, what else do you want to do? Do you really think you are still the same as before? Don't be so self-righteous."
"We've both been through so much, and now Qin Lan only has me in her heart. Please stop struggling here, okay?"
The wind outside the window blew coldly into the house. Seeing Xiao Chen still making his final struggle at this moment, I couldn't help but want to laugh in my heart.
Before I could say anything more, I heard Qin Lan, who was standing next to me, say, "I'm going to leave with him. You'd better be well on your own in the future."
Xiao Chen obviously couldn't accept what Qin Lan said. He looked at me and Xiao Chen blankly, and said with an expression of disbelief:
"Don't joke with me here. Wasn't it great when we went traveling together? I want to take you on a trip again next time."
"If you really don't like the beach, then we can go to the prairie together. I heard that the air there is the freshest in the world."
