"It turns out that my sister is a girl from Xinjiang. No wonder she is so beautiful. I envy you so much. Don't bother you, just let my dad arrange someone." Luo Yan nodded understandingly, her small cherry mouth slightly flattened.

Gerna looked at Luo Yan's small face, her thick eyelashes flickered, and she quickly lowered her eyes.She pretended to look at her phone, showing an understanding and somewhat pensive expression.She tried to call Roy's phone, but there was no answer.Did it disappear into the sea of ​​flames?She doesn't know.

Gerna raised her head, and looked straight at Luo Yan with her black and blue eyes like a lake in the middle of the night: "Your father is busy with the business of this batch of jade recently, so he can't come to see you for the time being, and said he has arranged for some nurses to come Take care of you."

Luo Yan didn't feel disappointed, instead she nodded obediently and sensiblely, and her short hair, which was not even shoulder length, shook slightly: "Don't worry him, I'm fine."

After hearing this sentence, Gerna felt an indescribable soreness in her heart, she could only unconsciously hold Luo Yan's pale little hand: "You...recover well, tell me what you need. I'll see you again in a few days."

"You've been so kind to me, I'm so embarrassed. I'm already grateful that you saved me. I don't care what you want." Luo Yan seemed to have completely forgotten the pain, showing her iconic sweet smile.

Whenever she saw Luo Yan's smile, Gerna felt her heart melt.It's not that Luo Yan looks so amazing, but that this kind of smile exudes a kind of warmth from the inside out.This kind of innocent smile mostly only exists on three or four-year-old children, but now it happens by chance on the face of a high school student.

Those small but crescent-shaped black eyes, the same curved crescent eyebrows, shallow dimples, and small pointed canine teeth combined together, formed a very moving smiling face.No noise, no scheming, no trace of worldly contamination.Maybe it's because I have never seen this kind of smile on the people around me, so I feel rare love.

Gerna just rubbed Luo Yan's smooth little hand like that, over and over again, without saying anything.

Facing the two big black suitcases, Lin Anqiao hurriedly packed his things at home.Because it's not in his own home, Yang Xi can't get involved, so he can only stare aside.Yang Xi felt a strange sense of relief after sending a text message to her grandmother who had been discharged from the hospital to report her safety.She also told the neighbors and aunts to help take care of them, so she didn't worry so much—in this kind of old school community, the relationship between neighbors has always been very harmonious.

"If there's no serious trouble, we won't be able to go for a few days. Why don't you wear a few of my clothes to make do..." Lin Anqiao asked Yang Xi hesitantly while packing the clothes.

"Yeah." Yang Xi didn't have anything to be picky about her clothes, but she was secretly worried that Lin Anqiao's clothes would be too oversized.

Lin Anqiao obviously sensed Yang Xi's doubts, so he added: "I still have a few pieces of clothes from junior high school...but they are men's styles, they don't look very good-looking, you can make up for it..." Although Lin Anqiao felt that this explanation was inappropriate, it could easily be misunderstood as an indirect satire on Yang Xi's height.

Yang Xi didn't worry any more, just nodded: "My usual clothes are also very plain."

Lin Anqiao smiled when she saw that Yang Xi was not worried, and continued to pack her luggage.

An hour later, they will fly to Yili in the twilight.Whether there will be dangers on the road, they cannot predict, and dare not predict.What a mysterious place in the westernmost part of the vast territory, the two high school students couldn't help yearning for it, even under such dangerous conditions.Lin Anqiao had never been to Xinjiang either, because his father never went with Zeerna when he was doing business because of his studies.

"Let's go." Lin Anqiao put on a heavy down jacket, accidentally tore the wound, and grinned in pain.Yang Xi blamed in distress.

Lin Anqiao handed Yang Xi a short black down jacket of her own, but Yang Xi almost grew up after wearing it.Lin Anqiao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "You look good in whatever clothes you wear."

Yang Xi blushed a little, and quickly changed the topic: "Go through the main entrance? Don't those people already guard there?"

Lin Anqiao once again showed that incomparably sly smile, showing a row of white teeth: "Staying there can't resist the fact that I'm familiar with it."

Yang Xi couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence for a while, so Lin Anqiao dragged her out of the bedroom and went directly to the living room.

"Let's just break through the door?" Yang Xi frowned, and looked at the end of the dark porch, which was as terrifying as an endless abyss.

"Wow, do you think I can do another fight?" Lin Anqiao laughed, like a child who succeeded in playing a prank.

"It's hard to say." Yang Xi shrugged.

Lin Anqiao stood up suddenly, and walked straight to the front of the row of leather sofas with long legs.Due to the existence of the wound, it was a bit difficult to walk, Yang Xi was terrified and ready to go up to help him at any time.

I saw her standing still in front of the heavy sofa, her arms stretched out to press the edge of the sofa.Even injured, her strength was frightening, so she pushed the heavy solid wood and leather sofa aside in the blink of an eye.Under Yang Xi's amazed eyes, a small hidden door behind the sofa slowly emerged, like a fairy-tale secret cave where sesame seeds open the door.

"This is..." Yang Xi opened his eyes wide.

Lin Anqiao stuck out her tongue mischievously, and pouted her mouth: "Although I am a tiger, maybe I was a rabbit in my previous life. It is wiser to leave a few more escape paths for myself, hahaha."

Yang Xi bit her lip and looked at Lin Anqiao with a smile, then pushed the two large suitcases over.

The subsequent experience was something Yang Xi had never experienced before.She never thought that such a thing as a secret passage really existed in real life.Shouldn't secret passages and other things only exist in war years or detective novels?It was dark and dusty; it was rugged and windy and shady.The sound of footsteps stepping on gravel clearly beat the eardrums.

In the final analysis, the world is still big, full of surprises, and everyone is a frog in a well to some extent.

Yang Xi refused to let Lin Anqiao take the box no matter what.Therefore, in this narrow secret passage, Yang Xi was carrying two huge black suitcases alone with his thin body.Lin Anqiao stopped several times and wanted to take one of them quietly, but was stopped by Yang Xi.

"The gains outweigh the losses." Yang Xi only spit out these four words briefly, but Lin Anqiao quickly understood the meaning of them.

The time in the secret road seems to have passed a century, and it seems to have retreated to the 30s.Everything seemed to be still, so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.The smell of soil and paint intertwined and drilled into Yang Xi's nostrils.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xi finally saw a ray of light appearing at the end, just like a glimmer of light was reflected from the bottom of a dark well.The light had a faint golden yellow color, indicating that it was almost dusk.

Once outside, Yang Xi instantly felt like returning to the human world.It turned out that this secret passage led to the undernamed little bridge, and next to it was the long and cheerfully flowing Luoxi River, and everything was noisy and complicated again.

"We've all come here." Yang Xi looked at the river surface dyed golden by dusk, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Don't sigh, let's go to the bridge quickly, Gerna's car is parked there." Lin Anqiao smiled smugly while looking around to make sure that no one was watching or anything.Lin Anqiao pulled Yang Xi to walk towards the high bridge deck.

Sure enough, a white sports car stopped conspicuously at the edge of the nameless bridge.Every detail of the sports car exudes a luxurious atmosphere, and you can tell it belongs to Gerna at a glance.Gerna's tall figure was also leaning against the car window, wearing a pair of cool sunglasses like a movie star.She held a cigarette that was about to burn out between her fingers, and the smoke that she exhaled slowly was quickly blown into the air by the breeze.

Gerna keenly saw the two of them from far away, skillfully threw a pinch of the cigarette to the top of the nearby trash can, and then walked towards the rear of the car.She opened the trunk of the car and waited.

Yang Xi was still trotting quickly by herself, pulling two big boxes that were extremely incompatible with her.

Gerna glanced at Yang Xi: "I really cherish my boyfriend, little girl." This tone made Yang Xi very uncomfortable, even a little sour.Lin Anqiao's expression became a little embarrassed, and he looked at Gerna's face covered by sunglasses with some sadness.

Yang Xi just responded with a shallow smile, neither rebutting nor swallowing his anger.She stood in front of the open trunk, struggled to lift one of the large boxes, and stuffed it into the trunk with difficulty.

Gerna didn't move at all, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, watching Yang Xi's difficult movements like a clown in a circus.Lin Anqiao was so annoyed by Gerna's reaction, she clenched her fists tightly, planning to bear the injury and help Yang Xi put the box away.

"Sister Yangxi, I'm coming." Unexpectedly, before Lin Anqiao moved, Gerna spoke first.After all, Gerna just pushed lightly, and pushed the big box that was half dangling outside into it.Immediately afterwards, Gerna easily picked up another heavy and large box, and stacked it on top of the previous box as if holding a bag of feathers. The whole movement was easy and smooth, without muddling at all.

This power made Yang Xi very envious.She looked at Gerna's face with admiration, and smiled slightly: "Thank you."

"Okay, get in the car." Gerna just glanced at Yang Xi blankly, turned around and walked to the driver's seat, and finally took off her sunglasses.

Lin Anqiao was a little annoyed by Gerna's attitude, and had the urge to go up and beat someone up.Normally, Gerna wouldn't make people so angry like she is now.Thinking about it carefully, it seems that every time Yang Xi is present, Gerna's attitude will be very indifferent and annoying.Could it be because Yang Xi is a poor girl with no background?Or did he feel a loss because he couldn't get Tana to hook him?This is really too snobby, Lin Anqiao thought contemptuously and angrily.

The eyes of Gerna who was driving in front became a little red and swollen, and they were no longer clear. I don't know if it was blown by the wind.
