Nan Zhi found Xia Yanran at a barbecue stall.
She was sitting there alone, as beer bottles filled the table.
Several men that approached her because she was pretty all left from her fierce shouts.
Nan Zhi walked in front of Xia Yanran, who thought that she was some unknown man who could not read the atmosphere. She threw an empty bottle at her. “I said to stop annoying me!”
“Yanran.”
Hearing Nan Zhi’s voice, Xia Yanran pouted as she reached out to hug Nan Zhi’s slender waist. Her voice was choked, “Zhizhi, I met Xiao Yi’s adoptive daughter today. She said that Xiao Yi is dead.”
Nan Zhi immediately froze.
She looked down at Xia Yanran, who was still hugging her tightly. Her long eyelashes fluttered, “Could it be a mistake?”
A person as strong and fierce like Xiao Yi usually only took others’ lives. How could anyone take his life?!
Besides, he was even able to avoid the bald man’s assassination in the Capital and managed to return to Ning City safely.
Ning City was his territory, who would be able to touch him here?
Xia Yanran looked up from Nan Zhi’s arms, staring at her best friend with teary eyes. She sniffled, “You don’t believe it either, right? People like him usually want to live the most, he must have hidden somewhere.”
Nan Zhi caressed Xia Yanran’s head. “You still can’t forget him, can’t you? Just cry if you want to!”
Xia Yanran did not cry out. She merely shook her head, using a voice so soft that she was the only one who could hear herself, “I’m going to find him.”
Xia Yanran was someone who always took action. She believed from deep within her that Xiao Yi had not really died. He had probably sustained a serious injury and needed someone to save him.
There was no time to waste.
She settled all of her work at the newspaper, making Nan Zhi and her family believe that she was going on a business trip, before she went to the unmarked common grave alone.
If it was any other girl, they definitely would not dare to come to such a place.
There were graves of various sizes. There were even the carcasses of dead animals and human bones lying around.
A disgusting and scary stench of something rancid permeated the air.
It was basically a living hell!
Xia Yanran wore a protection suit with a face mask and gloves.
She was afraid as well, but she was more afraid of Xiao Yi being in a situation where he was badly injured and was still alive, but had no one to save him.
Although she already knew that Xiao Xi definitely came to search this place before.
She was not willing to give up like this.
Yes, Xiao Yi was an a**hole, but she could not let that a**hole die like this!
Regardless of whether they were together or not, it was fine as long as he was alive.
It was said that many corpses had been burned here in the past. It was only in the recent decade that there were fewer abandoned corpses in this area.
Although the sun was shining brightly right now, there was a stifling gloominess in the atmosphere.
“Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi!”
Xia Yanran shouted out loud.
“Come out! I know you’re not dead, you’re definitely still perfectly alive! Come out now!”
A layer of moisture covered Xia Yanran’s eyes as all of the memories he gave her in the past year flashed before them.
“Xia Yanran, are you a pig? The sun is already setting, but you’re still not awake?”
Well, he had to think about who pestered her to do it the whole night and only let her off when it was almost daybreak.
“Xia Yanran, what’s the feeling of being a boss’ woman?”
She rolled her eyes at him. It did not feel anything special, as she still had to be pestered by the boss every night to satisfy his beastly desire.
“Xia Yanran, when I was having dinner with several clients tonight, a woman rubbed herself on me when she wasn’t wearing a bra.”
She hummed, praying for him to accept that b*tch so that she could be free!
“Xia Yanran, let’s stay together. I bought an apartment in the city. After you move in, you will have to cook and wash my clothes for me.”
Cooking for him and washing his clothes was just something convenient that came with staying together. The most important thing was probably to satisfy the boss’ desires!
“Xia Yanran, what do you think about doing it from the living room, to the balcony then to the bedroom?”
His stamina was really good, and she could not even deny it if she wanted to.
“Xia Yanran, your best friends already had children. When will you give me a child too?”
She was not going to have any children, not even in this lifetime.
“Xia Yanran, why are you so pale? Why are you curling up? You’re bleeding from your butt? F**k, did you go and mend your virginity membrane?”
She really wanted to kick him. Her period had come, but he still kept hugging her. Can’t her stomach hurt?
“Xia Yanran, you’re having a cold war with me again. Alright, alright, alright, I’m giving in to you. I’ll purchase a newspaper company for you to become the chief editor there, alright?”
Countless details of the two of them flashed in Xia Yanran’s mind, and her eyes filled with even more tears.
Although he was a dictator, despotic and fierce, he filled her heart bit by bit.
After Junyuan found out about the two of them being together, he scolded her terribly.
He said that the two of them belonged to two different worlds, people like Xiao Yi licked the blood on their knives and he would ultimately bring her to eternal damnation.
But Junyuan was wrong.
The person that caused his eternal damnation was her!
“Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi…”
Xia Yanran searched from him from dawn to night.
A cool breeze blew at night, as the leaves around her shuffled. Some unknown bugs were calling, as it felt really creepy around her.
Xia Yanran could not find the person she wanted to find after a long time, and she became even sadder and more panicked.
She held onto a flashlight, as she continued to walk further.
Suddenly, the ground under her feet gave way and she lost her balance. She immediately rolled down the hill nonstop like a snowball.
“Ah!”
Xia Yanran shouted out loud, as she fell heavily on the floor. She felt really dizzy, and lost consciousness immediately.
Xia Yanran did not know how long had passed when she finally heard someone call her. “Wake up, wake up.”
Xia Yanran slowly opened her heavy eyelids, her head feeling like splitting from the headache she had.
After seeing the teenage boy sitting next to her, Xia Yanran immediately sat up.
She looked around her, noticing that she was currently in a very simple house. A wet humidity filled the air.
“Where am I?” Xia Yanran asked with her hoarse voice.
The boy placed a bowl of porridge in front of Xia Yanran. “My older sister cooked porridge, do you want to eat some? Oh, you’re at my house. When I went to pick some fungus on the mountain, I saw you passed out there, so I brought you home.”
Xia Yanran stared at the bowl of porridge the boy was holding. She shook her head, “I’m not hungry, you can have it!” She could tell that the boy’s family was not very well off.
“Are you really not hungry?”
“Yes.”
“If you’re not hungry, then I’ll eat it. I haven’t been full ever since we had to cater to one more person at home.”
Xia Yanran had been distracted originally, though she froze immediately when she heard the boy’s words. She immediately grabbed the boy’s shoulders and asked hurriedly, “You have to cater to one more person at home for food? Apart from finding me, did you find another person?”
Given his apparent knowledge, the boy should be a frequent visitor up the mountains. If Xiao Yi had also fallen off from the unmarked common graves, could he…
The boy had grown up in the mountains and was innocent and honest. Xia Yanran was the prettiest and fairest girl he had seen, so he was a little shy as he replied, “My older sister did bring back an injured man when she went to the mountains to find some herbs. But, he’s not staying with us.”
