Chapter 846 Dusty and exhausted
Nie Yao noticed that his adoptive father was listless and didn't seem to have had a good rest. He quickly stepped forward, held his hand, and asked with concern, "Dad, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well?"
Professor Fred sighed, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, "How could I sleep well when you're missing? Last night, Steve told me you were out shopping, but you didn't come back until dark. I was very worried... Then I heard the police received a report of a shooting, and the officer who was responsible for protecting your safety was the one who died. I felt something was wrong..."
He paused, his hand trembling slightly as he held Nie Yao's. "Ivy, thank goodness you're okay. I was so worried I didn't sleep all night. I kept thinking, what would you do if you had to spend the night in the desert?"
Nie Yao quickly smiled and patted the back of his father's hand, whispering comfortingly, "Dad, don't worry. I'm back safely now, aren't I? I was in danger at the time, but luckily Li Jinxing arrived in time to save me. Later, we got lost in the desert and were rescued by the indigenous people!"
"That's great..." Professor Fred sighed softly, then looked at Li Jinxing beside him, shook his hand and thanked him repeatedly: "Mr. Li, I really want to thank you for saving my daughter once!"
Li Jinxing shook his head and smiled faintly, and answered earnestly: "Professor Fred, you are too polite. Yaoyao is my fiancée, of course I have to protect her..."
"Okay, okay, I knew you were a good kid!" Professor Fred nodded repeatedly, took their hands, put them together, patted their hands and said with a smile, "I heard you two had a fight before, but I know you're both good kids. If you have any conflicts, you must open your hearts and talk things through with each other. Don't leave any regrets for the future!"
Nie Yao nodded quickly in response and subconsciously looked at Li Jinxing with obvious guilt in her eyes.
Li Jinxing also smiled and nodded, comforting Professor Fred: "Don't worry, I will definitely give in to Yaoyao. Unless it is a matter of principle, I will not take the initiative to argue with her..."
When he said this, he looked at Nie Yao thoughtfully, and happened to see a flash of guilt on her face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise slightly.
"Okay, you look exhausted. Go take a shower and have a good rest. I'll have the waiter bring you lunch!"
Professor Fred knew that they were also exhausted, so he patted their arms and urged them on with a smile.
Li Jinxing and Nie Yao responded in unison, said goodbye to Professor Fred, and went upstairs back to their hotel room together.
"Li Jinxing, go take a shower first. I'll come after you're done!" Nie Yao handed him a clean towel and wanted to help him find pajamas, but then she remembered that she no longer had his last name, Li, and asked hesitantly, "You were in such a hurry to come back, did you bring any luggage?"
"Of course I brought them!" Li Jinxing nodded and said with a smile, "In fact, I never opened those suitcases before. I brought them all back this time!"
When he said this, he glanced around the hotel room where Nie Yao was staying, shook his head and said disapprovingly: "Yaoyao, your hotel room is a little too small..."
Nie Yao burst out laughing and raised an eyebrow in retort, "We're here for archaeology, not tourism. Living in this environment is already quite good!"
When she said this, she pushed his arm and said, "Go take a shower quickly and stop being picky here. Otherwise, go out and get a presidential suite and don't stay here with me!"
