Chapter 364 - 200: Arrival in Canglan City! The Tender Feelings of a Young Lady! (Newcomer Asking for Care)_6
"So, Yinghan, I’ve come all this way to see you, don’t you think I deserve a sweet embrace? Or do you just want to leave me standing here?"
"..."
Do you really want me to take the initiative? I’m standing right here... Looking at Yuchi’s clear smile on his face, after a moment of thought, the woman finally lowered her face, with her dress swaying slightly, her heart pounding like a deer in headlights as she walked over. In a few short steps, she clumsily approached, gently leaning into his embrace.
"You bad person... As you wish." She murmured, burying her beet-red ears in his chest.
"Good girl." Yuchi smiled.
The soft jade was in his arms, exquisite and charming, it was a rather wonderful feeling.
His gaze crossed over the woman’s black hair, then he saw the pile of files stacked like a mountain on the table.
Next.
"Yinghan, how many grudges have you formed? Should I just retreat for now?"
Song Yinghan: "..."
...
A moment later.
Song Yinghan was brewing tea, humming some childhood rhymes from her memory, feeling very, very happy. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the table beside her, Yuchi was casually flipping through some files.
She felt quite happy.
She had lived for many years in the Stargazing Tower, and although she had many admirers, she really felt none of that sort of feeling.
When she first met Yuchi, she didn’t feel that way either; there was just something a little curious. But as the two of them had more physical contact, she eventually began to miss that feeling.
In the short term, it might not seem like much, but the more difficult the period, the more she found that carefree feeling unforgettable. Seeing Yuchi now, it was really like seeing her real family, with no burden on her soul; she was sure he had no intention of harming her.
The sense of security and unhurried ease was a kind of enjoyment that one couldn’t help but indulge in.
"If only he’d be a little less mischievous, wouldn’t it be nice if he wasn’t so cheeky?"
Thinking of the way he acted like a cheeky monkey just now, Song Yinghan couldn’t help but smile.
At least he still knew how to care for her, not using the strength to crush a walnut; luckily, she herself was a Core Formation Stage cultivator, otherwise, she might have really been unable to stand just now and would have fainted into his arms.
But no matter what, at least I’m still satisfied with him.
"But he really is naughty, doesn’t have an ounce of honesty. I wonder who gave him the nickname ’Honest Yuchi’."
Song Yinghan couldn’t help but steal another glance at Yuchi.
The little woman’s demeanor was really something that no one else could see.
Yuchi, having received the ’payment,’ naturally had to do his job.
He had already glanced at the names of those files, and after skimming through more than twenty of them, his curiosity was quite piqued: "Yinghan, are all of these files about missing persons? Are you investigating missing persons? Purely missing people, that’s really not easy to find."
Indeed, the files in front of them were all related to missing persons cases, recording some rather detailed investigations. There’s no need to look at the content too deeply; it’s enough to know that such things exist.
In the past world, such cases might have been easier to solve, but here, how do you even begin?
There’s no surveillance here.
Moreover, Canglan City seems to be different from Jiangzhou City. Around Jiangzhou City, there are many stations where government officials and soldiers can serve as informants. So, if someone goes missing in Jiangzhou City and they just got lost, it’s still possible to find them. But how do you find missing persons in Canglan City?
It’s incredibly difficult, almost impossible.
"Let’s set that aside for now. I’m really curious, how did you come to Canglan City?" Song Yinghan came to Yuchi’s side, personally poured him a cup of tea, then sat next to him, looking at him like a curious baby.
"I flew over here." Yuchi replied with a smile.
"Flew over?" Song Yinghan chuckled, "You don’t have wings."
"I came here on a Jade Ship, piloting it myself. The speed was alright." Yuchi said honestly.
Seeing the sweat beading on Song Yinghan’s forehead, he had to come up with an excuse...
You see, this isn’t Honest Yuchi lying; it’s just when I tell the truth, people don’t believe me. That’s not my fault.
Then he added: "Yinghan, do you remember I have an uncle from the north?"
"Uncle from the north?"
Song Yinghan thought carefully for a moment, seeming to recall someone like that, but it felt like he didn’t exist.
"Have you forgotten everyone else in Jiangzhou City except for me?" Yuchi observed.
"Yes."
Song Yinghan replied a bit embarrassed: "What’s the point of remembering so many people, as long as I remember what happened, isn’t that enough? Besides... I’m remembering you, isn’t that enough?"
"Good answer! I love it!"
This girl’s honesty is music to my ears, Yuchi said with a smile:
"I have an uncle from the north. He belongs to a sect. This time he happened to have something to do in Canglan City, so I took a ride on a convenient Jade Ship, and now that he’s off handling other matters, I came to find you."
