Ning Qiluo's words were incredibly infuriating.
Su Jiusheng glanced at Ning Qiluo with a lingering look, then turned his body to the side, not wanting to pay any attention to her.
"Come on, eat your food. There's no use being upset. If you hadn't been so long-winded, you could have just taken me away. Maybe we would have already escaped to safety by now, instead of still here gnawing on chicken legs."
Su Jiusheng: "..."
"If I had known you were so carefree, why would I have bothered to save you?" Su Jiusheng said dejectedly.
Ning Qiluo, with great self-awareness, said, "You didn't come to save me; you came for the 550,000."
Su Jiusheng chuckled, "You're so carefree. Do you know that because of your disappearance, the Qi family and the Jiang family have sealed off the entire North City?"
'Clatter-'
The chicken leg I had just picked up fell back onto the plate.
Seeing the scene on the ground, Ning Qiluo asked Su Jiusheng, "You didn't... tell my dad and brother that you know where I am, did you?"
Su Jiusheng looked at her expressionlessly, without saying a word or reacting at all.
Ning Qiluo put down her chopsticks.
When setting down the chopsticks, I instinctively reached for a stand, only to find everything here was very simple. So I just placed the chopsticks directly on the bowl and asked, "You didn't come all alone, did you? You didn't even tell them?"
Su Jiusheng touched his nose.
Ning Qiluo suddenly stood up.
The commotion startled Su Jiusheng. "What are you doing?"
Ning Qiluo was almost in tears: "Do you know why I was so calm just now?"
Su Jiusheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Because you think that since I notified them before coming, it's okay even if we change rooms now, they will come to rescue us."
“Yes.” She nodded.
Su Jiusheng shook his head: "I was originally very confident in myself." After saying that, he picked up the glass of water that Ning Qiluo had poured for him and drank it in one gulp.
Ning Qiluo: "..."
Su Jiusheng continued, "I'm very good at physical labor and digging tunnels. I knew how to rescue you. I was very confident at the time."
"Stop, don't say anymore."
Ning Qiluo clutched her chest, sat down again with a pained expression, looked at Su Jiusheng across from her, and poured him another glass of water.
Ning Qiluo was eerily quiet at this moment.
Su Jiusheng looked at her and felt that something was wrong.
Are you that angry?
Does it mean they don't believe in his abilities? Although there's been a slight mishap...
But she still comforted her, saying, "Oh Ning Qiluo, don't worry. I consulted the oracle before I came. Jesus will protect me... Well, I'll reluctantly add you too, so you can also protect us."
Ning Qiluo raised her eyes, glanced at Su Jiusheng, and remained silent.
Su Jiusheng comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, really. Jesus will protect you."
Ning Qiluo replied, "We are different religions. I believe in Bodhisattva."
Su Jiusheng: "Then let's each mind our own business and see who's more efficient."
Ning Qiluo: "..."
She genuinely believed that Su Jiusheng had informed Jiang Yingchi, her brother, and her father before arriving, and that she planned to sit for a while longer and then react to any situation that arose.
As it turned out, he came all by himself without notifying anyone else.
The two of them died on the same road; at least they're companions.
"So what do we do now?" Su Jiusheng asked her.
Ning Qiluo picked up her chopsticks again and put some food on Su Jiusheng's plate: "What else can we do? Eat and drink what you want. Don't wait until you've poured water on the ground before you drink. Do you want someone else to pour water on your ground?"
Su Jiusheng: "..."
