Chapter 493: We’ve Accidentally Returned
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Du Yue originally thought that as long as Xia Ju ate snacks, she would forget everything that had happened before. After all, they had been together for a long time. No one should know Xia Ju’s personality better than her. However, who knew that Xia Ju would not play by the rules? After she finished all the fries and ice cream, she looked at Du Yue with a serious face. “Du Yue, I want to tell you a secret.”
It was rare for Du Yue to see her so serious. She quickly straightened her expression. “What secret?”
“I plan to… always rely on you and eat all the treats you offer me.” Xia Ju smiled slyly.
Du Yue was speechless. To think that she had listened so attentively. She did not expect that the secret Xia Ju was talking about was actually this. Du Yue smiled and nodded. “Then you should work hard. I have high hopes for you.” Xia Ju was slightly stunned. “Why should I work hard?”
“Work hard to live for a few hundred more years. Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat up.”
Du Yue thought that the journey was tiring, and it was quite interesting to occasionally bicker with Xia Ju. However, Xia Ju quickly took a bag of snacks from her and took out her tablet. She began to catch up on the variety shows that she had not finished.
Not only that, Xia Ju even looked at her with disdain. “You’d better go ahead and accompany He Xing. He probably won’t be able to concentrate on driving without you by his side.”
Du Yue smiled and nodded. He Xing would definitely be bored if he were to drive alone. She should go over. However, just as Du Yue stood up, she heard Xia Ju urging her, “Hurry up, don’t disturb me.”
Upon hearing this, Du Yue quickly turned around and reached out to turn off Xia Ju’s tablet. She pretended to be serious and said, “Stop using the tablets. It’s bad for your eyes!”
Without giving Xia Ju any time to react, Du Yue ran straight to the front passenger seat and pulled the curtain behind the front passenger seat. Although the car was very big, Du Yue and Xia Ju’s conversation just now was not soft, so He Xing, who was in the front row, heard their conversation clearly.
He Xing turned to look at Du Yue, his eyes full of tenderness. Du Yue was a little puzzled. “What are you smiling at?”
“I’m smiling at the two of you. Your ages combined are almost a hundred years old. Why do you look like two kindergarten kids when you quarrel?” He Xing said honestly.
Du Yue was speechless. Perhaps He Xing’s EQ.had improved so much in the past year that Du Yue had forgotten that he used to be a straightforward man. Now that she heard He Xing complain about her and Xia Ju, Du Yue was not angry at all. Instead, she felt a sense of familiarity. As expected, even after so much time had passed, He Xing still did not forget his original intentions! The journey was boring, but not everyone found it boring.
Du Yue and the others followed at the back of the team. They did not have to worry about the route. They just had to follow the car in front. As for the cars in front, not only did they have to investigate the road conditions and plan the route, but they also had to make arrangements in advance where they would stay for the night. This time, the leader was Guan Sheng’s trusted aide, Sun Yu. He had met Du Yue and the other two before. Du Yue and Xia Ju did not have much of an impression of him, but He Xing had interacted with him a lot at work. When they stopped for a break, Sun Yu would occasionally come over to discuss some things with He Xing.
Sun Yu was assigned to go to the first base. Although he had a detailed map and information, it was all empty talk on paper. Coincidentally, He Xing was from the first base, so he knew more about the routes than him. It was always good to learn more from him. However, Sun Yu was still very observant. Every time he came to discuss things with He Xing, he would stand by the car and never get into their car. Before they left the fourth base, none of them took off their protective suits. After the car drove out of the provincial boundary, they did an air test. After confirming that there was no volcanic ash, everyone took off their heavy protective suits and masks.
After wearing the protective suits for a long time, they were used to the weight of the protective suits and did not find them heavy. However, after taking them off, they immediately felt relaxed. It felt as if they were floating on clouds when they walked.
The route they took to the first base this time was different from the one Du Yue and the others took when they left the first base. After Du Yue and the others left the first base, they went straight to the second base. Although the first half of the journey was different, the route slowly overlapped. After going on the familiar road, Du Yue could not help but feel a little emotional. When she left, she told Zuo Mingdong that they would come back, but in fact, Du Yue herself was not sure at that time.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, they actually set foot on the road back to the first base..
