âThe two of us,â the boy said, âThe driver has to wait for the rescue car to arrive. They wonât be going ahead. They have to return to the previous town to repair the car. When we are in Tharchin and were about to return, they will arrange for a car to send us back.â
What he meant was that both of them had to follow them all the way to Tharchin, but the place was not far either. They should be able to reach there the next day.
Nian Xi hesitated for a moment and said, âLet me see your ID cards.â
The two of them showed her their ID cards, and Nian Xi instantly memorized their names. One of them was called Zhao Yuchen. He was twenty-four years old this year and was from Yunnan, and the other was Ji Min. She was twenty-one years old, from Zhejiang.
She had already guessed the situation and asked, âDid you two get to know each other by carpooling together on the way to Kailash?â
Zhao Yuchen and Ji Min looked at each other, and surprise flashed in their eyes. A moment later, Zhao Yuchen nodded and smiled. âSister, you saw through it with one look. We met in Lhasa.â
Nian Xi thought to herself, Ji Min was careless. A girl in her early twenties dared to casually carpool with others to go to a remote place like Kailash. Wasnât she afraid that the man with her was going to partner a crime with the driver? Looking at this Zhao Yuchen, he looked honest and well-behaved, however, from his eyes, one could tell that he often flirted with girls.
Sometimes, she was annoyed that these young girls did not know the danger in this world. However, as a police officer, she had to help them to the end to prevent any accidents from happening to the girls. âAlright, get in the car. Zhao Yuchen will sit in the front, and Ji Min will sit in the back.â
Jiang Yuning was unhappy when he heard that. He quickly popped his head out from behind. âDarling...â
He didnât understand how Xixi had arranged it. How could she let a boy sit in the front with her? Moreover, the person was quite young.
Therefore, he had to call her darling loudly to let these two people know about their relationship.
Only then did Zhao Yuchen and Ji Min see him clearly from behind. Ji Min was especially stunned for a moment. She had only vaguely seen a man sleeping behind her, but she didnât expect him to be so delicate and clean, especially those eyes, it was as if he had been cleansed by spring rain.
She had originally thought that Zhao Yuchen was considered handsome, but compared to the man in front of her, he was instantly much inferior.
Nian Xiâs heart skipped a beat. How could she not see Ji Minâs momentary loss of focus? She pondered for a moment and smiled. âAlright, alright. I know you donât like men sitting with me. Ji Min, sit in front with me.â
Jiang Yuning didnât say anything else. However, he felt that the most appropriate solution for Nian Xi was to ask him to sit in the front.
Two extra people suddenly appeared in the spacious car. Jiang Yuning didnât like it and felt uncomfortable. However, he also understood that because Nian Xi was a police officer, she always felt that she had the obligation to protect the safety of every citizen.
However, Ji Min and Zhao Yufan were talkative. They warmed up the atmosphere along the way, especially Ji Min. She was especially talkative. âSister, why do you want to go to Kailash? Donât tell me that you want to go on a pilgrimage too?â
âTo travel, not to go on a pilgrimage,â Nian Xi said calmly. âI donât believe in that. Do you believe in that?â
âWe donât either. We just have a yearning in our hearts and want to go take a look,â Ji Min said sentimentally. âAlso to cleanse our hearts.â
â...â
The corner of Nian Xiâs mouth twitched. She didnât understand the thoughts of young people these days. Perhaps she was old.
Zhao Yufan smiled and said, âJi Min, itâs too childish of you to say these things in front of this sister. I can tell that the sister has gone through a lot of things, so she doesnât believe in these things. By the way, sister, what is your job?â
