Chapter 31 The taste of chocolate is not bad

"I give up, Long Yilan, you didn't wash the dishes clean again!"

Tang Yichao's roar echoed in the villa at noon.

Rubbing her eyes, Long Yilan came in from the side door in a daze and glanced at him: "You didn't wash them clean yourself, there is still oil."

Tang Yichao put his hands on his hips: "Bullshit! Every time I wash the dishes, I squeeze a lot of detergent. You can say that I didn't rinse off the foam, but you can't say that there are still oil stains on it!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Long Yilan was grateful and raised her hands in surrender. She went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes under Tang Yichao's supervision.

Xie Er: "...I don't know if it's the right choice to come to your place for dinner."

Chu Wanyue looked at the kitchen where Tang Yichao's shouting could be heard from time to time, and laughed: "Tang Tang has no ill intentions."

"Yeah, I understand." Xie Er retracted his gaze. He was now representing the Xuanbei team to discuss some details of cooperation with Gu Bingchen's rich team.

A side door was opened between the two villas to facilitate the exchanges between the two teams.

Jiang Yunqi had just returned from outside when he saw a figure flashing on the balcony of the villa on the second floor.

"Are you back?"

Gu Bingchen leaned on the railing with both hands and yawned slightly.

Jiang Yunqi nodded: "Yeah, I'm back."

After he stepped into the gate of the villa, Gu Bingchen quickly came down from the stairs.

"Are we going on a mission soon?"

"Yes, we'll set off right away." Jiang Yunqi briefly described the mission without even having time to drink a sip of water.

The radio broadcast at the Meicheng base received a distress message.

It came from Yuncheng next door.

Their mission is to rescue people.

To be honest, what Gu Bingchen hated most was the search and rescue mission. He often encountered survivors who stood on the moral high ground and pointed fingers at them, expressing dissatisfaction with this and that.

Therefore, he frowned and did not quite agree with Jiang Yunqi's action this time.

"The base is fully responsible for the supplies for the trip." Jiang Yunqi took out a list that listed many supplies, not only food, water, common medicines, but also gasoline.

Chu Wanyue glanced at the densely packed list and wondered, "Is it an important person? Why is the base so generous?"

Jiang Yunqi thought of the anxious look on the person in charge's face and said, "This time it seems to be related to an important person in the base."

Gu Bingchen raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I thought it was another research institute. Are there any photos?"

"No, just tell me to pick someone up at the place." Jiang Yunqi rolled up the list and put it back on the space button.

The vehicle provided by the base was a bit shabby. If it weren't for the limited space on their space button, Jiang Yunqi actually wanted to borrow a car from Gu Bingchen.

"I'll go with you." Gu Bingchen was still wearing black silk pajamas. Without waiting for Jiang Yunqi to refuse, he went upstairs to change clothes.

He was very fast, just put on a short-sleeved shirt and long pants and went downstairs.

"Wanyue, you and Xiao Tang stay at the base and pay more attention to Gu Hua's movements. If there is any situation, don't take action yet and wait for us to come back." Gu Bingchen did not plan to set off with the whole team. The base needed to leave some people to collect intelligence to avoid information asymmetry, which would be detrimental to future transactions.

Chu Wanyue sighed helplessly: "Okay."

The two people who had just come out of the kitchen looked at each other.

Long Yilan's face was full of excitement and excitement.

Tang Yichao was a little depressed.

His boss didn't take them with him.

"Unlucky, I saw something dirty." In the base garage, Gu Bingchen crossed his arms and looked at the other two teams.

One team is the treacherous ugly guy Mu Weixi.

One team is the nosy good guy Lin Jinnan.

Didn't you check the almanac before going out today?

Noticing Gu Bingchen's mood change, Jiang Yunqi tilted his head and asked softly, "You don't have to follow us."

"How can that be? I just want to see who those people are and why they are worth going to Yuncheng for." Gu Bingchen snorted coldly and returned to his SUV.

He put the shabby minibus given by the base back into the space. On the way there, he still preferred to drive his own car.

"You refused to join my team, so you went to his place?" Mu Weixi's face was ugly, and his tone towards Xie Er was also very bad, "Didn't you say you wouldn't join any team?"

Xie Er didn't mind, or didn't care about Mu Weixi, he smiled gently: "I didn't join Mr. Gu's team."

Mu Weixi didn't believe it: "Then why are you with him?!"

"This... seems to have nothing to do with you." Xie Er ignored Mu Weixi.

Long Yilan looked at the angry Mu Weixi outside the car window and said: "I haven't asked how you got to know him."

"Well, he pulled me back from the sea." Xie Er fastened his seat belt and said lightly.

He repaid Mu Weixi at that moment.

But this man kept pestering him.

"Hey, what are you yelling for? Why do you care whether others go to your team or not?" Gu Bingchen honked the horn for a long time, and was very annoyed by Mu Weixi's behavior of blocking his car.

Mu Weixi glared at him fiercely: "Gu Bingchen, you wait for me!"

After saying that, he quickly stepped back two steps, fearing that Gu Bingche would hit him directly.

Gu Bingche sneered, and the tone was prolonged, which sounded very gloomy: "Okay, wait for you~"

Lin Jinnan looked at the exhaust of the car with a complicated expression.

"Tsk, you were so good to him at that time, but you were still thrown away." If there is anything in common between Mu Weixi and Gu Bingchen, it is that they both can't stand Lin Jinnan's meddling in other people's business and being a bad guy.

"It's none of your business." Lin Jinnan glanced at Mu Weixi coldly, turned around and took his team members and drove away.

"Boss... us."

The younger brother spoke cautiously, but was still scolded by Mu Weixi.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up! Are you waiting for the mission to be snatched away by those two?"

He was so angry that he forgot that this was a group mission.

Unlike Ningcheng's unique geographical location by the sea, Yuncheng is a city surrounded by rolling mountains.

The mountains are stacked one after another, like a giant dragon winding and circling, which is spectacular. The tops of these mountains are surrounded by misty clouds all year round, like a fairyland wrapped in white gauze, hence the name Cloud City.

The sun shines through the clouds and falls on the mountains. Jiang Yunqi opens the car window a little, and a damp and rotten smell hits his face.

Long Yilan struggled to wake up from her sleep. She rubbed her sore waist and muttered: "When will we arrive? I feel uncomfortable sitting here, yue..."

She suddenly gulped, and Xie Er hurriedly took out the air freshener spray, and the smell of the leather seats in the car immediately faded a lot.

"Drink some water." Jiang Yunqi opened a bottle of mineral water, turned around and handed it to Long Yilan.

Gu Bingchen glanced at him through the rearview mirror: "Don't vomit in my car."

Long Yilan rolled her eyes unhappily.

Damn it, if it was a suspended car, she wouldn't be so weak.

She shook her hands and took a big sip of mineral water to suppress the nausea and vomiting.

"Eat a candy." Jiang Yunqi took out a piece of old candy from his pocket and threw it to her, which might be very effective in relieving the symptoms of motion sickness.

Gu Bingchen: "I want one too."

"You want one too?" Jiang Yunqi was stunned for a moment, took out a chocolate and handed it to him.

"Help me tear it open." Gu Bingchen lowered his eyes to glance at the chocolate wrapper, then sideways, staring intently at Jiang Yunqi's eyes, "You see, it's not convenient for me..."

Before he finished speaking, the sweet chocolate melted in his mouth, and a touch of warm touch was fleeting.

For the first time, Gu Bingchen felt that the chocolate tasted good.

He seemed to have forgotten what he had said, "Who wants to eat that sweet thing."

Xie Er looked away and looked at the car window, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.

The car drove for three days and two nights and finally arrived in Yuncheng.

Long Yilan was the first to rush out of the car, supporting herself on the tree trunk with one hand, breathing deeply. Her face was pale and she looked much weaker.

"Old Xie, I miss 'Iris' so much." Long Yilan squatted on the ground, looked up at Xie Er, frowned, "It wasn't that uncomfortable the last two times I took the bus."

Gu Bingchen said from a distance: "Because the road is steep this time."

"Let's rest here for one night and go again tomorrow morning..." As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Yunqi looked at the tall buildings that collapsed in the distance, and was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I think we should enter Yuncheng now, I'm worried that they won't make it to tomorrow." Lin Jinnan got off the car, stretched out his hand, and introduced himself, "Hello, my name is Lin Jinnan, the leader of the search and rescue team."

Jiang Yunqi: "I know you, we've met before."

Thinking of the wolf and the leopard that time, Lin Jinnan's expression was a little unnatural.

"How long do you want to hold hands?" Gu Bingchen walked without making any sound, sneaking out like a ghost, standing between the two of them, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking unhappy.

Lin Jinnan looked down and realized that he had forgotten to let go of Jiang Yunqi's hand. He took two steps back: "Sorry."

Gu Bingchen suddenly took out a clean handkerchief and wiped Jiang Yunqi's hand with a sullen face.

"Well...thank you, I can do it myself." Jiang Yunqi felt a little awkward with his fingers held in someone's warm palm.

"Okay." Gu Bingchen stuffed the handkerchief into his hand, then turned around and looked at Lin Jinnan, who looked puzzled. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes behind the lens. "Captain Lin is so kind, why don't you go by yourself?"

Lin Jinnan: "That's not what I meant..."

Gu Bingchen crossed his arms, and a hint of indifference appeared in his lazy tone: "I don't care what you mean, we have to rest here for one night, you can go or not, don't drag us along."

Lin Jinnan was choked and speechless, lowered his head, returned to his team, and let the team members rest for one night.

The situation in Yuncheng was unclear. Although he was eager to save people, he would not drag his team members to die.

"Captain, let's cook some instant noodles." The little girl's eyebrows were full of fatigue, and she was weak when she spoke.

After getting Lin Jinnan's permission, he quickly led people to pick up firewood to make a fire and boil water.

Jiang Yunqi didn't know what to do with this handkerchief that exuded a faint fragrance, so he had to fold it neatly and put it in the space button.

"Excuse me, do you have any conflicts with them?" He jumped up and sat on a stone that was half a person's height.

Upon hearing this, Gu Bingchen raised his hand and signaled Jiang Yunqi to make room for him. He didn't have a clean fetish. He rested his hands on the stone, leaned back, held an unlit cigarette in his mouth, and spoke a little vaguely.

"This matter is a bit long to talk about."
