Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 275 Qinling Sacred Tree (34)

Xie Yuchen returned to the Xie family that night, after all, the huge family business needed his personal management; on the other hand, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi chose to stay one more night. Ji Xiao arranged for them to rest in the guest room in the front yard.

The next morning, shortly after the sun rose, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang got up and went to the courtyard.

At this time, Zhang Qiling was preparing breakfast in the kitchen with Ji Xiao.

"You guys got up pretty early! You can have breakfast in a moment." Ji Xiao smiled softly with a slight smile on her lips.

"Thank you so much, little brother! I slept very well last night, without any dreams. It was so comfortable." Wu Xie responded with a satisfied look on his face.

"That's good. You guys sit down for a while." Ji Xiao said, then turned around and continued to work.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang then sat down on the stone bench in the yard, leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery around them.

At this moment, Fatty Wang suddenly said, "Wu Xie, look at this girl Ji Xiao, she is so pretty and charming, and has a gentle and lovely temperament. Dumb Zhang is so lucky!"

Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "That's right, little brother is really lucky."

While the two were chatting, Zhang Qiling, wearing an apron, skillfully prepared breakfast, while Ji Xiao stood beside him obediently and helped. In fact, she was just accompanying him and did not have to do anything, mainly providing an emotional value.

Not long after, bursts of fragrance wafted out from the kitchen, making Wu Xie and Fatty salivate.

After a while, Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao prepared breakfast and brought it out. The four of them sat around the stone table, eating breakfast while talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After breakfast, Wu Xie and Fatty said goodbye to Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao.

……

It was noon that day, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was not dry. Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao slept in each other's arms, immersed in a sweet dream.

Suddenly, an abrupt ringtone broke the silence. Zhang Qiling woke up slowly, reached for his phone and pressed the answer button. Hei Xiazi's deep voice came from the other end of the line, and Ji Xiao, who was still in a daze, was also awakened by the sound.

She turned over and lay on top of Zhang Qiling, looking at him sleepily, and asked vaguely, "Who's calling?"

Zhang Qiling gently stretched out his hand and held Ji Xiao firmly, while carefully adjusting her position, fearing to hurt the person in his arms.

After everything was arranged, the call seemed to have ended.

Zhang Qiling hung up the phone and put it on the low cabinet beside the bed. Then he turned around and stroked Ji Xiao's smooth and delicate back. He said in a calm tone: "It was the blind man who called. He said that Wu Erbai wanted us to protect Wu Xie. After the matter is completed, each of us can get a reward of 10 million. But at that time, he will act together with Jie Yuchen."

When Ji Xiao heard the number "10 million", her eyes lit up immediately, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly. She looked at Zhang Qiling with excitement, and asked in disbelief, "Really?" She looked like a little rabbit seeing a carrot, so cute.

It's no wonder she asked that. The last trip to the underwater tomb only cost 5 million, and the two of them together only cost 10 million. However, this time, the deposit for the two of them alone was 10 million! Faced with such a huge sum of money, how could she not be excited? However, she would only show her money-grubbery without reservation in front of Zhang Qiling.

At the same time, Zhang Qiling was extremely fond of this cute little money-grubber. So, he stared into Ji Xiao's eyes with a smile and replied gently: "Yes, it's absolutely true."

"Then when are we leaving?" Ji Xiao asked impatiently.

"I don't know yet. We'll call and inform you when the time comes." Zhang Qiling responded calmly.

"Okay." Ji Xiao nodded helplessly, then yawned. Then, she suggested, "Let's get up."

"Yeah." Zhang Qiling agreed casually, then stood up immediately and walked to the closet to change into a new set of clothes. At this time, Ji Xiao was still sitting lazily on the bed.

When she saw that Zhang Qiling had changed his clothes, Ji Xiao slowly raised her head, looked at him, and took the initiative to stretch out her arms, saying in a delicate voice: "Hug me."

……

Over the next few days, the two of them enjoyed their own world at home until the blind man called and they set off again.

Zhang Qiling carried Ji Xiao to the door, opened it, said hello to Hei Xia Zi outside the door, and then took Ji Xiao into the car.

"Hey, little brother, you two are really showing off your affection too much!" Hei Xia Zi teased with a smile on his face.

Zhang Qiling just glanced at him indifferently and did not respond to him.

"Okay, okay, stop dawdling, Wu Xie and the others are already here." Hei Xia Zi said as he started the car engine.

Along the way, Ji Xiao fell asleep soundly in Zhang Qiling's warm embrace until the car stopped, then she woke up.

"Have we arrived yet?" She rubbed her eyes sleepily and asked in confusion.

"Well, we're here, you can get off now." Zhang Qiling replied gently. After that, he stepped out of the car first, and then gently helped Ji Xiao get off the car. After Ji Xiao stood firmly, he took out a thermos cup from his bag, poured out half a cup of warm water and handed it to her.

"Come, drink some water to moisten your mouth first." Zhang Qiling said softly, handing over a glass of water. Ji Xiao nodded slightly in response, and then took a few sips from Zhang Qiling's hand holding the water cup.

After drinking, Ji Xiao licked her lips contentedly, while Zhang Qiling looked at her silently, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Then, he picked up the cup and drank the remaining water. After doing this, Zhang Qiling put away the cup.

Then, Zhang Qiling reached out and held Ji Xiao's hand tightly. The two of them followed Hei Xia Zi's footsteps side by side and walked towards the village together.

At this time, Ji Xiao finally regained some spirit. She curiously asked Hei Xia Zi: "Didn't you say before that you and Jie Xiaohua came here together?"

Hearing this, Hei Xia Zi smiled faintly and explained, "He has something to take care of, so he won't be here until later. So, I came here early." After a pause, he added, "I guess he will be here soon, let's find a place to settle down first." As he spoke, Hei Xia Zi pointed to a house not far ahead.

The three of them approached and found that the room looked a bit shabby, but still tidy. Hei Xiazi pushed open the door and found some simple furniture inside.

"A hunter used to live here. I've been here before," he explained.

Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao walked into the room and looked around. Ji Xiao looked at everything in the room curiously, while Zhang Qiling silently observed the surrounding environment.

"You guys take a rest first, I'll go out and take a look at the situation." Hei Xia Zi said and walked out of the house.

Zhang Qiling sat down on a chair, and Ji Xiao sat beside him, leaning against him closely.

"Qi Ling, will things be more interesting this time?" Ji Xiao asked excitedly.

Zhang Qiling played with her hands and said, "I don't know either, but with Wu Xie here, there will definitely be unexpected events."

Ji Xiao nodded, feeling somewhat curious. She also knew that Wu Xie was indeed quite strange.

After Hei Xia Zi left, Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao waited in the house. Soon, footsteps were heard outside, and then Xie Yuchen and Hei Xia Zi walked in.
