Chapter 58

  After resting at home for a week, early November morning.

  The sky was still gray and gloomy, with cold winds blowing. Si Ruonan arranged for two RVs and three SUVs to set off from the Si family's home to Fenghuang City in western Hunan.

  Each vehicle is assigned two drivers who are responsible for driving and also in charge of the safety of all on board.

  Toward Qian Tong and Wang Shao Ke sat in the RV, especially Wang Shao Ke was curious about the equipment here, like a big kid who had never grown up. Early in the morning, he asked Liu Yan, the team leader of the car fleet, many details about the cars. Only then did they know that these two RVs were the latest models, which would charge automatically through the engine while driving, with the latest cruise control system, and could locate their position anywhere at any time. They could also contact the driver's family at any time. Inside the RV, there was not only a bathroom, kitchen, bed, sofa, and electrical appliances, but also four off-road motorcycles and a mini motorcycle on both sides.

  After following Liu Yan's inspection and understanding, Wang Shaokuo felt cool.

  "Let's get off here, and I'll follow you to borrow the car later. It looks too comfortable in here." Wang Shaokuo said with his eyes scanning the interior of the car, curling up his lips.

  Si Luo Chen also made a simple check around, to see if there was anything missing and quickly find someone to make up for it. Upon hearing Wang Shao Ke's words, he responded: "You drive such a car to follow, far away people have already discovered, I don't want to harm your business."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  "I'm also taking a sleeper bus for the first time, I didn't expect it to be like a moving home, and it's very user-friendly." Xiang Qian Tong said, carrying her luggage and walking up.

  "Then you can use it for traveling in the future." Si Luo Chen said with a smile as he took over the luggage.

  "Okay, alright."

  Wang Shaokai: "......"

  Yilin returned to her home before departure, bringing many traditional Chinese medicine classics, intending to study on the road. She specially cooked a nourishing soup for Xiang Qiongtong's physical conditioning, sealed it in a bag for convenient carrying. She also prepared some other medicinal materials, just in case of unexpected needs.

  With everything ready, everyone set out on their long journey.

  An SUV led the way, with Si Luochen and Xiang Qianying in the first RV. Wang Shaokuo, Yilin, and Yan Bing were in the second RV, while Luo sat in the rear SUV.

  The car was stopped by police at the toll station. While Yan Bing disappeared before reaching the toll station.

  "Please show me your driver's license and vehicle registration." The police officer bowed politely and asked, "Where are you all headed?"

  Liu Yan politely handed over his driver's license and said: "Take Second Miss Shi on a trip."

  "The Surname is Shi?" Several big families in the city, as a police officer, must have all heard of it. Moreover, with the Shi family at the forefront, they would not be unaware.

  "Whose family is this? Which family's car is this?" The policeman's attitude changed immediately.

  "Yes." Liu Yan's words were polite and laced with a smile, but he had become wary of this curious policeman.

  The police officer burst out laughing: "I didn't expect that I had a difficult delivery at your family's hospital recently, and now I'm running into the second young lady of the Shi family on an outing. No wonder this is a different kind of motorcade. Alright, alright, drive safely and don't get drowsy while driving."

  Liu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "We take turns driving, so we won't get tired."

  The police nodded and after a simple check, they let him go.

  After about half an hour's delay, the convoy continued on its way.

  "Yilin, what about that masked woman?" Wang Shaokuo asked bluntly, sitting on the bed and eating a pomelo.

  "Irène shook her head, indicating she wasn't clear: 'Maybe... it's not convenient to go through security checks.'"

  Wang Shaokuo naturally knew that Yan Bing was Shen Lue's person, and originally wanted to understand some things about Shen Lue, but after chatting for a while, he found that this woman Yan Bing was really a wooden stake, not even half a sentence.

  Either "uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh" or "not clear, not clear". All kinds of dissatisfaction in the heart.

  "If she dresses like that and is seen by the police, we will definitely be done for." Wang Shaokuo said with a wave of his hand.

  Yilin knew that Wang Shaokuo was saying this because he had just hit a wall in front of Yan Bing, so she just smiled and didn't say anything. However, staring at the wound on her eye corner, although it didn't affect her heroic appearance, it could be seen that it was a new injury. She couldn't understand why such an intelligent person would let herself get hurt.

  Is it even more hurtful for her?

  Just as the two were chatting, the safety door on top of the RV was pulled open and Yan Bing jumped down lightly from above, landing in front of them. With her back to them, she turned around with a cold gaze, sweeping over Wang Shaokuo who was eating pomelo.

  It was just a glance, Wang Shaokuo's mouth held an orange, motionless, thinking that she had heard everything he just said?

  At this awkward moment, the intercom sounded, and it was Si Luo Chen's voice: "Shao Ke, you'd better find a map to tell Xiao Liu how to get there."

  This voice was like a recharge to Wang Shaokuo, and he immediately stuffed the reed ball into his mouth after picking up the intercom, mumbling: "Okay, I know."

  She took out the map she had found earlier and began to look for a route based on the information. Irene also stood by, intently helping Wang Shaokui find it, while Yan Bing stood motionless on one side, her eyes fixed on Irene's profile.

  The car suddenly braked sharply, and Irina's center of gravity was slightly unstable. Yan Bing took a step forward to support her, saying "Be careful."

  Irene placed her hands on Yan Bing's arm, her entire body relying on hers. The faint scent of cherry blossoms entered her nostrils. Irene pursed her lips and lowered her eyelids, nodding slightly as she said "thank you" before immediately straightening up, tilting her head to brush away a strand of hair and returning to her original position.

  The driver immediately explained: "Sorry, just had a sudden brake in front of you guys."

  Wang Shaokuo, who was on the other side of the table, didn't have much to say. He just took in all the details he had just seen, his mouth curled up with a smile: "Nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong." As he continued to study the map.

  Yan Bing's eyes remained cold and calm as she stood in place, while Irene continued to help Wang Shaokui search for the location based on the data. However, at this time her heartbeat was a bit unstable, and her spirit had long since wandered off.

  The fleet refueled, replenished and rested for a full two hours in the service area.

  Wang Shaokuo communicated his ideas with Si Luochen and finally decided on the final route.

  Si Lu Chen also instructed Liu Yan that when driving at night, don't go too fast, and safety should be the top priority.

  Everyone simply ate something, the driver made a shift and continued on their way.

  Everything seemed fine, but in Qian Tong's eyes, since Si Luo Chen found out about her physical condition, some changes made Qian Tong feel a bit uncomfortable.

  Recently even more so.

  Si Luo Chen basically didn't let her do anything, even eating was Si Luo Chen helping her bring food to her front. Worried that Xiang Qian Tong would be bored, he let her watch books, watch DVDs or listen to songs. Wanting to help Wang Shao Ke with his work, she was quickly pressed aside by Si Luo Chen and told to rest.

  It was so meticulous that Xiang Qian Tong felt helpless.

  After nightfall, the car continued to drive in an orderly manner.

  Si Luo Chen finished washing up and saw Xiang Qian Tong already lying on her own bed, seemingly asleep. Si Luo Chen sat down beside her, just about to help her cover up, but her hand was inadvertently grasped by Xiang Qian Tong. At first, Si Luo Chen was taken aback, then she looked closely and discovered that Xiang Qian Tong's eyelashes were slightly trembling, clearly pretending to sleep.

  "It's very late, aren't you going to sleep?"

  Qian Tong pursed her lips, opened her eyes and looked at Si Luo Chen who was only wearing a thin nightgown in front of her, and asked with concern: "Why are you wearing so little, aren't you cold?" As she spoke, she shifted her body inward and lifted the quilt.

  Si Lu Chen looked at Xiang Qian Tong with an uncomprehending expression: "This bed is too small, I'm afraid of crowding you."

  Qian Tong shook her head, her peach blossom eyes shining with light as she stared at Si Luo Chen: "I'm not fat, and you're not either, so why don't we squeeze together to warm up?"

  Si Luo Chen first stared at her expressionlessly, then the corners of his mouth curled up: "How is it that as soon as you go out, you become like a little kid again, and still need someone to hold you while you sleep?" Although he said this, Si Luo Chen still turned off the lights and got in.

  The sunshade on the car roof was opened by Si Luo Chen, allowing the twinkling starlight in the night sky to shine in.

  Two people lay together, wrapped in a warm and cozy atmosphere. They were lying on their sides facing each other, and Qian Tong couldn't help but tighten her arms around Si Luo Chen's waist.

  "Can't sleep? Or is your body uncomfortable again?" Si Luo Chen asked in a very soft voice.

  Xiang Qiong didn't respond, although the two of them were already very close. However, Xiang Qiong still felt it wasn't enough and moved in a bit closer. Sighing softly, he said discontentedly: "You won't let me do anything today, now I just want to hold you..."

  Si Luo Chen uttered a nonchalant "oh?" but was secretly overjoyed. Ever since the Si family expressed their concerns, Xiang Qian would occasionally hold her hand or hug her, and this feeling made Si Luo Chen very happy.

  It's as if the distance between each other suddenly narrowed a lot.

  Si Luo Chen also stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Xiang Qian Tong's waist, softly saying: "Then I'll hold you, hurry up and sleep."

  Although that's what he said, the hand on Xiang Qiong's waist slowly and gently lifted the hem of her pajamas, slipping inside to caress her smooth skin.

  Qian Tong's body stiffened slightly, and she said awkwardly: "...... Luo Chen, didn't you say you were going to sleep?"

  "It's sleepy, I'm afraid you're cold, help you rub it." Si Luo Chen said seriously, but his hand increased in strength, from the waist up to the softest place on the left, and grasped it motionless.

  Qian Tong's body tensed up immediately, and her hand almost simultaneously grasped Lu Chen's hand through the clothes, exclaiming: "Lu Chen!?"

  "Uh-huh, heartbeat is normal. Irina said you're afraid of the cold because your heart rate is too slow and your body doesn't get enough blood supply, so..." Holding that soft hand, gently rubbing it, he said seriously: "Here, we need to do more cardiac massage."

  Qian Tong's body suddenly shuddered. It was unclear whether it was because of her palm or... the serious tone in which she spoke these words.

  Never thought that Si Luo Chen's face was so thick in this aspect. But have to admit, indeed because of her actions, the body became warmer. Xiang Qian Tong took a deep breath, calmed down, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, stretching out his hand to do the same thing to Si Luo Chen.

  "That... I want Lu Chen to warm up too."

  Qian Tong's movement was too sudden, causing Si Luo Chen, who was unprepared, to let out a light "hmm" from his nose.

  Qian Tong's heart skipped a beat as she listened, and the atmosphere seemed to have changed.

  Si Luo Chen raised her eyes to look at Xiang Qian Tong, who was being mean to her. She puckered up and walked forward, lightly biting the tip of Xiang Qian Tong's nose. Her eyes were deep and misty, saying: "Qian Tong, what are you doing to me?"

  Being stared at by Luo Chen like that, and with this tone. Xian Tong's thoughts retreated instantly. Speaking also became hesitant: "I... I also want to let Luo Chen warm up..."

  "Is that so? Qian Tong is indeed very considerate..." Si Luo Chen's mouth curved up, and his body moved forward slightly, allowing the palm of Qian Tong's hand to have a more intimate feel.

  Qian Tong's whole person was like being struck by a acupuncture point, his breathing stagnated as he stared at Si Luo Chen.

  Si Luo Chen's voice was extremely soft, his forehead against Qian Tong's, asking: "Qian Tong, do you know where we are now?"

  "Inside the car."

  "Is it appropriate to do such a thoughtful thing in the car?" Si Luo Chen asked knowingly, and slowly pulled his hand out of the place where Xiang Qian Tong had just reached. The movement was too slow, and the sensation transmitted to his fingertips made Xiang Qian Tong's scalp tingle.

  "But... it's you..."

  Si Luo Chen nodded: "I'm checking Qian Tong's heart rate."

  "...your heart isn't good either..."

  Si Luo Chen nodded: "This is a habit I've had since childhood, I have it in my heart, what about Qian Tong, can he count on himself?"

  To Qian Tong: "......"

  Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but now being reminded by Si Luochen in such a pretentious manner, it's as if a basin of cold water has been poured over her heart. However, her mind is filled with the sensation of his fingertips, and Qian Tong suddenly feels a blank space.

  Looking at the woman standing there, Si Luo Chen's mouth curved into a smile, his voice low and gentle, saying: "Next time... we'll change places, and do... what's on your mind, Thousand Tong, huh?"

  Qian Tong knew because of this sentence, her whole person was no longer good!

  The author has something to say: I love them so much, so I won't just... uh, you know.

  The environment is not right, the bed is too small, yeah.

  As expected, I've caught a cold. Today, I used up an entire pack of tissues and my nose is all red (of course, it's not because Lu Chen bit me _(:3∠)_)

  The weather in Suzhou has been rainy recently, and the temperature has dropped.

  Everyone should also pay attention to their body.

  Yu'er is taking medicine and getting ready for bed. Goodnight.
