Chapter 301 Fate Unknown
Three days later.
Yuncheng, Shaxi Ancient Town, Yunyeju Homestay.
In the yard planted with all kinds of green plants and flowers, A Yuan lay on the ground with his tongue sticking out. The sunlight shone on his face, warm and cozy, and A Yuan squinted his eyes comfortably.
Xiao Anning is holding a children's makeup box in her left hand and a small powder puff in her right hand, and is doing A Yuan's makeup in a very professional manner.
Xiao Nian'an sat on a wooden chair to the side, head down, engrossed in playing with his Rubik's Cube.
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Wen Jingxi is cooking.
Song Lanyin pushed open the ancient wooden door of the courtyard from the outside, turned around and looked around, then closed the door and locked it with the wooden bolt.
Xiao Nian'an heard the noise and looked up.
Song Lanyin walked over and ruffled his hair. "Playing with the Rubik's Cube again?"
“Hmm!” Xiao Nian’an looked at Song Lanyin with bright eyes. “I can finish the puzzle on all six sides in as little as two minutes.”
Fu Siyan bought the Rubik's Cube.
It was also Fu Siyan who taught Xiao Nian'an to solve the Rubik's Cube.
"That's great!" Song Lanyin said. "Your dad would be so happy if he knew how amazing you are."
Xiao Nian'an stared at her, "Aunt Song, have you been in contact with Dad lately?"
"Yes," Song Lanyin said casually. "Your father's business has been doing very well lately, and he might be able to earn enough money to come back and be with you soon."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nian'an was overjoyed. "That's great! Can Daddy come back before this winter?"
"Well..." Song Lanyin pursed her lips, "I can't be sure about that."
Xiao Nian'an lowered her head.
It seems that Aunt Song was just trying to appease him.
Actually, my father isn't abroad at all.
He knew that his father had turned into a star and flown up into the sky, never to return.
Seeing his disappointment, Song Lanyin sighed, "Xiao Nian'an, you have to believe in your father."
Xiao Nian'an stared at the Rubik's Cube in her hand, "What about my mom?"
Song Lanyin was stunned.
She always knew that Xiao Nian'an was very smart, and because he had never had his mother's company or care since birth, he was especially sensitive.
But she didn't expect Xiao Nian'an to be so perceptive.
He seemed to have already realized that Shen Qingshu was in trouble.
Not wanting Xiao Nian to worry, Song Lanyin said, "Your mother has gone on a business trip and may not be back for a while, but don't worry, Mo Bai is with her, so she'll be fine."
Xiao Nian'an felt uneasy, but as a child, he couldn't do anything about it and could only choose to trust the adults.
He has lost his father.
I don't want to lose my mother again.
Compared to Xiao Nian'an's sensitivity, Xiao Anning seems rather naive.
Three days ago, she and Xiao Nian'an came to Yuncheng with Wen Jingxi and Song Lanyin, only bringing A Yuan with them. Sister Yun and Zhang Yun did not come along.
The little girl was very happy when her godfather told her they were here for a vacation.
Especially A Yuan, who also came along.
This ancient town is not yet fully developed, and with the start of the school year, the peak tourist season has passed. Every evening, Xiao Anning can go out for a walk with her godfather to walk the dog. Along the way, she encounters many cats and dogs, which she likes very much.
In just three days, Xiao Anning has become a big fan of Song Lanyin.
Because she saw Song Lanyin practicing martial arts with Xiao Nian'an in the morning.
The little girl thought Aunt Song was super cool and kept begging to be like her.
Song Lanyin thought that Xiao Anning was just having fun, and that the little girl might not be able to endure the hardship of actually practicing martial arts, so she also trained with Xiao Anning for two days.
Unexpectedly, the little girl is quite capable; she's still in high spirits today.
Song Lanyin walked past Xiao Anning, bent down and pinched Xiao Anning's chubby cheeks, "You're bullying Ayuan again."
Xiao Anning shook her head, "No, no, I was helping Ayuan with her makeup!"
Song Lanyin looked at A Yuan.
A Yuan lay motionless on the ground, her eyes fixed on Song Lanyin, making pitiful whimpering sounds.
"Sorry, I can't help you." Song Lanyin shrugged and got up to walk into the house.
In the kitchen, Wen Jingxi was cooking.
The fire in the stove was blazing, and Wen Jingxi was covered in sweat.
The daytime temperature in Yuncheng is in the twenties, but it gets cold in the morning and evening.
Song Lanyin stood at the door, leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed, watching the man's busy figure in front of the stove.
The stove is too low for men, making it very hard on their backs to chop and wash vegetables.
Song Lanyin walked in and said, "I just took a walk around the ancient town and didn't find any suspicious people."
"That's good."
Wen Jingxi replied curtly.
Then turn off the stove, pour the cooked soup into a plate, and then pick up the plate—
Turning around, she unexpectedly met Song Lanyin's gaze.
The woman smiled, her admiration still undisguised.
"How outstanding must a woman be to be worthy of a good family man like Mr. Wen?"
"I'd rather be a monk than have anything happen between us," Wen Jingxi said coldly as always.
Fortunately, Song Lanyin had already gotten used to it.
She clicked her tongue, moved closer, and said, "Two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which do you want to hear first?"
Wen Jingxi frowned. "Can't you just say it directly?"
"Shen Qingshu has successfully escaped from Jin Que's clutches."
Wen Jingxi was taken aback, then asked, "What's the bad news?"
"They encountered severe weather when they entered the airspace of Country A and are now out of contact."
Wen Jingxi's face stiffened. "What do you mean?"
Song Lanyin looked at him with a solemn expression, "In other words, Mo Bai and Shen Qingshu are currently in a state of uncertainty regarding their fate."
…
When Shen Qingshu woke up, her head was throbbing. When she opened her eyes, everything was still pitch black.
Her last shred of hope vanished completely.
It seems she really is blind.
It must be caused by the Chinese medicine that Jin Que gave her.
When one loses sight, one's hearing and sense of smell become exceptionally acute.
She seemed to hear the sound of waves, and there was a faint salty smell in the air.
This must be at the beach.
At that moment, the door opened.
Shen Qingshu immediately sat up. "Mo Bai?"
When the man saw that she was awake, he immediately stepped forward and said, "President Shen, I'm here."
Hearing the man's familiar voice, Shen Qingshu's tense nerves relaxed once again.
Where are we?
"There is a primitive island in country A called Goldfish Island."
Shen Qingshu nodded and then asked, "How long did I sleep?"
“Three days,” Mo Bai said. “You lost consciousness after falling into the sea. After you came ashore, you started having a high fever, and your temperature didn’t come down completely until yesterday afternoon.”
Shen Qingshu frowned. "Are the pilots who were with us alright?"
"Don't worry, they've all been trained, they'll be fine."
Hearing this, Shen Qingshu was finally relieved.
That night, the situation was critical. She was blind and even more confused. It was Mo Bai who helped her put on a life jacket and carried her to jump off the plane.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingshu asked again, "And you? Are you injured?"
Mo Bai looked at her and could see genuine concern in her eyes.
He smiled contentedly, a contented expression on his lips. "I'm fine."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu said nothing more.
Mo Bai walked to the bedside and waved his hand in front of her eyes. "You still can't see?"
He responded with a soft, gentle voice.
Mo Bai asked again, "Do your eyes hurt?"
“It doesn’t hurt,” Shen Qingshu said. “It’s just pitch black, but I don’t have any other symptoms.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Bai said in a serious tone, "There must be something wrong with the Chinese medicine that Jin Que gave you."
Shen Qingshu didn't deny it, and asked, "When can we go back to Beicheng?"
“We’ll stay on the island for a few more days,” Mo Bai said, “waiting for Seventh Master to send someone to pick us up.”
Before Seventh Master found them, they also had to worry about whether Jin Que's men would find the island...
