Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

The experienced driver obeyed the instruction immediately and quickly changed the route.

Fortunately, this is a deserted protected area, not a modern city where you have to obey traffic rules, so there is no need to worry about any traffic accidents.

Under Chi Yu's guidance, the convoy arrived at the first survey site not long after.

The biting cold wind howled in the desert, but the low temperature did not mean that they could ignore the sunlight.

The harsh ultraviolet rays will let every team member who is not well protected know why sun protection is also the most important part of survival in the wild.

Chi Yu did not get off the bus. He was still sitting in the back seat of the car, holding a piece of white sand candy in his mouth, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.

The cold wind carrying dust was blocked by the car door.

In this enclosed space, the driver turned on the heating very high. The warmth made Chi Yu a little drowsy, so much so that he wanted to consume some sugar to refresh himself.

When performing tasks, Chi Yu usually does not choose to use snacks to refresh himself, because most of the environments are quite bad, which makes him lose his appetite.

But Xie Yuchen's car was very clean. Although these vehicles were obviously customized and new, they did not smell anything strange.

So Chi Yu naturally took out a white sand candy stick from the system backpack and put it in his mouth, without any sense of slacking off in front of his employer.

Fortunately, his generous employer had no intention of interrupting his relaxing time.

Xie Yuchen just confirmed that what Chi Yu was holding in his mouth was not a cigarette, then he quickly looked away and took out a few unprocessed documents from his backpack and started reading them.

As the head of the Xie family, Xie Yuchen always has endless work to do. So when the teams are resting, processing documents becomes his way to "relax".

The documents that Xie Yuchen brought over were of course not the ones that needed to be disposed of in a hurry, but that was also the reason why Xie Yuchen chose them.

——Because as long as he leaves the desert and returns to the bustling city, countless problems and solutions that need to be dealt with will come to him. By that time, Xie Yuchen will definitely not be able to take care of these less important parts.

However, the busyness of Mr. Jie did not affect Chi Yu.

In this rather small space, two completely opposite atmospheres are intertwined yet surprisingly harmonious.

The driver left the driver's seat long after arriving at the destination and worked with the other guys to complete their work.

Chi Yu looked at them, his thoughts drifting to the past.

In Chi Yu's original world, he had never been to the desert.

Just like he once said to Black Glasses: the desert, rainforest, and snow-capped mountains are all places Chi Yu has never set foot on.

Apart from the entertainment he had briefly come into contact with in his childhood, all he remembered about life were lifeless mansions, busy streets, and the extravagance of feasting and revelry.

Chi Yu lived like that for a long time until he was finally liberated, but he also lost the motivation to yearn for the outside world.

He confined himself to a fixed space.

He bought a small yard and built a small house, just like he built a "small fish tank" for himself, and then dived into the ocean called "Cyber".

However, he was scooped up by an unscrupulous black-hearted company and thrown into such a strange world.

The only good thing is that Chi Yu's world has indeed become more colorful because of it.

Three years have passed since Chi Yu first entered the desert.

During these three years, he visited many cities he had never been to due to various commissions, and learned a lot of knowledge he had never been exposed to before.

And now, when Chi Yu stepped into the desert again, he... well, actually he didn't have much feeling. Chi Yu was not an emotional person, so he would not be moved by the scene.

He just remembers.

Then I felt that the difference between the two noisy guys who followed me last time and the rather quiet Xie Yuchen this time was obvious.

Looking at Xie Yuchen who was handling official documents, Chi Yu sighed inwardly and coldly stuffed back the black glasses that appeared in his memory.

"what happened?"

As if sensing Chi Yu's gaze, Xie Yuchen pulled himself away from the documents and turned to look at him.

"It's okay." Chi Yu said.

Without any embarrassment of being caught peeking, nor did he look away, Chi Yu stared at Xie Yuchen quietly and answered his questions honestly -

"I'm just looking at you."

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen slowed down his work of sorting the documents. He placed the documents on his lap and slowly smoothed out the barely noticeable wrinkles on them.

Xie Yuchen looked at her silently for a while, then looked up at Chi Yu. His tone rose slightly, and he asked in a brisk tone, "What's so good about me?"

what?

ask him?

Chi Yu blinked.

He looked at Xie Yuchen.

Xie Yuchen's light-colored woolen coat was put aside, and he was now only wearing a thin shirt.

Xie Yuchen looks handsome.

It's not the kind of handsomeness that belongs to men, but a softer kind of beauty that belongs only to young people.

The light inside the car was not actually bright, only the cold light from the sun outside the car window shone directly in and hit Xie Yuchen's body. This made his skin look very white, even a little unhealthy.

Xie Yuchen was waiting for his answer, so at this moment, the young teenager was also looking at him seriously.

His eyes were large, clear and bright, with a distinct black and white, and a touch of scholarly elegance, and occasionally a hint of foxy cunning.

The fine bangs hit Xie Yuchen's forehead, casting a slight shadow, adding a sense of obedience to him.

...From an appreciation point of view, it is indeed pleasing to the eyes.

If Chi Yu were to give all those compliments to Xie Yuchen, it wouldn't be impossible, Chi Yu thought calmly.

It's just that for a man over 50 years old, saying such things to a minor, isn't it a bit too perverted?

——Is this really something you can say?

Obviously, this is something that cannot be said out loud.

So in the end, Chi Yu just calmly chose to answer: "Because you are good-looking, and I happened to be a little bored, so I watched you to pass the time."

Well, he knew it.

Xie Yuchen thought helplessly: This was an unoriginal answer to Chi Yu, but it was not the answer he wanted.

But having said that, if Chi Yu really started praising him all of a sudden, he would need to be alert again.

Because his relationship with Chi Yu is so special, it is so enjoyable.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchen smiled softly.

"Well," he said, "I'll take that as a compliment."
