Luo Jinxiu shuddered at the mere thought of it.
"No need, right? I remember the last time I saw it, the surrounding area was quite prosperous, probably..." Luo Jinxiu said, scribbling on the map as she tried to recall.
But that was several years ago, and at the time she didn't realize what Qing Lingfeng meant to her or how important he was, so she didn't take it to heart.
It's still somewhat difficult to recall what happened back then.
Before Luo Jinxiu could find it, Qin Yiheng waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to go to such trouble.
"I told you, what you saw of Qing Lingfeng before was probably just an illusion. You definitely won't find it if you go back now, so don't waste your energy."
This is why Qin Yiheng rejected all of Luo Jinxiu's painstakingly prepared travel guide.
Just then, Luo Jinxiu also felt that she probably couldn't find it, so she simply gave up.
He then asked Qin Yiheng, "Since that's the case, we definitely won't have anywhere to stay for the next few days. Why didn't you say so earlier? I could have bought a tent and brought it with me. Sigh... It's a little late now, but it's okay, I'll go out and buy one tomorrow!"
"Okay, just buy whatever you need, including sleeping bags and cotton clothes. Take good care of yourself."
Qin Yiheng's implication was that Luo Jinxiu didn't need to be too considerate of his feelings.
But how could Luo Jinxiu not think about it?
However, she won't say it now to avoid arguing with Qin Yiheng over such a trivial matter. She'll just prepare everything herself when the time comes.
"However, if we buy a tent, it would be too much trouble for us to carry it like this. How about we just buy a car and drive it around?"
The eldest daughter of the Luo family has quite the audacity; she actually thought of picking up the car right here.
Qin Yiheng was secretly surprised.
They could have easily considered driving out, but firstly, time constraints prevented them from leisurely driving southwest, and secondly, they were afraid of making too much of a fuss and alerting the housekeeper.
Moreover, when boarding the plane, Luo Jinxiu directly activated her access privileges—no one except herself could find out whether she and Qin Yiheng had been on a plane.
Even if the butler wanted to find out, it would take a lot of trouble, and by then they might have already returned.
But it won't work if you're driving.
First, the vehicle and license plate cannot be fake, and with so many surveillance cameras along the way, Luo Jinxiu cannot guarantee that she won't miss a single one and delete them, or how to hide them...
That would greatly increase the risk that the steward would discover when they traveled to the southwest.
"In some places, driving might not be so easy, so let's just keep going like this."
Although Qin Yiheng had no experience in searching for mountain ranges, the location of the Great Snow Mountain was in the southwest.
It is also located at a high altitude, with a vast area and sparse population. Moreover, due to the suppression of the formation, ordinary people cannot see or touch it.
In some ways, he was completely similar to Qing Lingfeng, which is why he was confident that he could break through the formation around Qing Lingfeng and enter the interior.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
As Luo Jinxiu was speaking, she was about to put her phone away and lie back down when, as she turned her head, her lips brushed against Qin Yiheng's cheek.
Her face flushed instantly...
So, they were standing so close just now?
Luo Jinxiu's heart was pounding uncontrollably. She tried to calm her breathing, feeling that it would be very embarrassing if Qin Yiheng heard her.
Qin Yiheng was also taken aback.
His first instinct was to dodge quickly, but such an action would inevitably hurt Luo Jinxiu's feelings, so he could only fall down slowly and silently.
When he looked up, Luo Jinxiu was still lying on the bed looking at him.
She was already wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown, and because of her movements, the dress had pulled down, revealing her fair and well-defined collarbones...
Adhering to the principle of not looking at what is improper, Qin Yiheng quickly looked away, but his Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
Nothing else—he thought of Jiang Yan, of the crazy things they had done two days ago, and then he remembered how Luo Jinxiu, who had concealed her identity and lived with them, had once tried to seduce him, intentionally or unintentionally, when Jiang Yan wasn't home…
Luo Jinxiu pulled the blanket up to cover herself, feeling so hot and excited.
Inevitably, their thoughts aligned with Qin Yiheng's.
For a moment, neither of the two people in the room spoke.
But this silence felt particularly awkward, as if they were deliberately avoiding something; it would be better to be open and honest.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that just now," Qin Yiheng suddenly apologized.
Although he didn't see anything and genuinely didn't know that Luo Jinxiu's clothes were in that state, he still had to be careful not to give Luo Jinxiu any ideas, nor could he let Jiang Yan down.
Just as Jiang Yan once said, the two of them came out together, and they might not necessarily experience many things along the way, so the suspension bridge effect was bound to occur.
If Luo Jinxiu falls in love with him then, no matter what he does, he will ultimately betray her.
Why bother?
Even if he was just being delusional!
In short, he didn't want that to happen.
"No, it's okay..." Luo Jinxiu said softly.
Then came another round of silence.
Luo Jinxiu awkwardly fidgeted with her toes, and finally turned off the light, leaving only a dim nightlight emitting a yellowish glow. She felt her face burning and didn't want Qin Yiheng to see her; she would be very embarrassed.
Although it still feels like an attempt to cover something up, darkness is indeed a good form of camouflage.
Just when Qin Yiheng thought that the two of them would remain silent all night and then go to sleep, Luo Jinxiu suddenly spoke again.
"I never imagined that one day our relationship would turn out like this."
In the darkness, Qin Yiheng opened his eyes, still staring at the ceiling, without saying a word.
However, Luo Jinxiu could sense that he was not asleep.
So he continued, "I set off from Rongcheng to Yuzhou, thinking the whole way about how to deal with you, how to ruin your reputation, how to expose your true colors, and how to let everyone see that you are actually a heinous criminal who deserves to be punished and is utterly wicked..."
Luo Jinxiu chuckled lightly, as if mocking herself: "I also thought that when the time came, I could retire successfully and return to the Luo family. Everyone in the Luo family would look up to me because I had completed my mission."
Luo Jinxiu had said something similar to Qin Yiheng before, but her state of mind was completely different today.
