Chapter 495 - Let your world only bloom with the warmth of spring

She looked expressionlessly at the mountains in the distance. Her gaze was far away, but there was a sense of emptiness that she did not know where she belonged to.

There was a sense of loneliness and desolation that was extremely similar to the last touch of bright colors between heaven and earth. It made people want to grasp it tightly.

“What are you thinking about?” A clear voice suddenly rang out behind Yun Xiangxiang.

Soon, the slender figure stood beside her. It was Yan Zhenben, who had his hands in his pockets.

“Miss seems to have become unusually silent after the incident with leader Pang.”

“I’m two years younger than you. You don’t have to address me like that.” Yun Xiangxiang still maintained the posture of looking into the distance.

“Teacher Yun Xiangxiang.” Yan Zhenben changed the address.

Yun Xiangxiang did not retort, but she did not say anything either.

“Actually, there are a lot of helpless people living in this world, because you will always be an incompetent weakling in the face of adversity and hardship of some forces,” Yan Zhenben suddenly said.

Yun Xiangxiang looked back at him.

He was really good-looking, as if he had walked out of a painting. His jade-like face was not very visually stunning, but it was worth appreciating slowly. The more she looked at it, the better he looked.

“You seem to know something.” Yun Xiangxiang was not sure if Yan Zhenben knew about it too.

Yan Zhenben shrugged. “What can I know? I don’t like to know too much. People without strength, knowing too much often leads to bad results.”

“You know a lot about survival.” Yun Xiangxiang suddenly saw the shadow of a twenty-year-old flower in him.

“All the principles are about tuition fees. The more expensive the tuition fee, the more profound it will be.” Yan Zhenben also spoke skillfully.

He was clearly answering a question, and he could make the person who asked him understand what he was trying to say, but he did not say it directly.

“You are so smooth. You don’t need to take advantage of this opportunity.” Yun Xiangxiang thought that it was a waste of talent.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although this was a good opportunity for Yun Xiangxiang to take advantage of Lu Jin’s reputation, and of course, he could also use this opportunity to create a card that was full of positive energy, but the effort was not proportional to the gains.

“Probably.... I still have a little bit of perseverance.” The corners of Yan Zhenben’s lips curled up, and a hint of sarcasm overflowed from his smile.

Yun Xiangxiang nodded. He did not ask any further. “Let’s go. We should set off.”

Yun Xiangxiang’s mood was still heavy when they left the village and got into their car at the station.

They were arranged to stay in the hotel for a night at the next station in the evening and enter the village the next day.

Yun Xiangxiang took a shower and sat cross-legged on the bed. He connected the video call with Song Mian.

“Those people have been caught.” It was Song Mian’s first time talking about serious matters.

Yun Xiangxiang felt energized. “Human traffickers?”

Song Mian’s lips curled into a smile. Her purplish-black eyes were mesmerizing as she nodded lightly.

“So fast. Did you put in a lot of effort?” Yun Xiangxiang could not believe it. Human traffickers were the most difficult type of people to catch.

They were highly alert, had high mobility, had many hideouts, and were very familiar with the geographical environment.

“They didn’t. They kidnapped people and were forced by you to temporarily stay out of the limelight. However, they have to sell the people they have, and they can’t easily change to another market.” With so many people, the target was too big. “They must be waiting for you to leave before taking the risk to ‘sell’ them.”

Therefore, it was very easy to capture them at this time. It was not to comfort Yun Xiangxiang, but it was really not a big deal.

“That’s good. If we can save some people, we can count them as some people.” Yun Xiangxiang smiled.

“I let one of them go,” Song Mian whispered to Yun Xiangxiang. “I will arrange for people to force him to places where human trafficking is serious. Then, people will chase after him.”

In this way, it was necessary to investigate strictly. How many people could be saved would depend on luck.

“Thank you, Mian,” Yun Xiangxiang said excitedly.

“Do a good deed every day to accumulate blessings for our baby in the future.” Song Mian began to tease Yun Xiangxiang again.

Yun Xiangxiang lowered her eyes. “I know you’re doing it to make me happy.”

She said it was to accumulate blessings for the baby, but it was only to adjust her mood.

“Mian, although I’m a little depressed, I’m not bothered by it. It’s just human nature.”

She was not brooding over it. If she was not affected by it, then she was not a living person.

She did not want Song Mian to interfere. There were too many unfairness and darkness in this world. It was impossible for her to get involved every time she encountered one.

In order to not let Song Mian notice anything, she thought that her reactions were normal when she chatted with her.

“I know that it’s just a momentary feeling. Once you leave this place, you’ll be better. But since I have the ability to make you let go of it earlier, why should I wait for you to be depressed for a few more days?” Song Mian’s tone was still indulgent and accommodating. “This is the best I can do.”

It was not their duty to kick down the nest, fight the criminals, and uphold justice.

It was their duty to do whatever they could. Otherwise, they could only do their best.

“I’ll be spoiled by you sooner or later.” Yun Xiangxiang could not help but smile. Her dreamy eyes were shining with a sweet light.

“I’ll spoil you so that only spring will bloom in your world.”

This was not the first time Song Mian had said something sweet to Yun Xiangxiang. However, it was the first time Yun Xiangxiang had answered her directly. “You’re my sunshine. With you here, my world will only bloom in spring.”

“Sigh....” the two of them added oil to the honey. Li Xiangling only hated the fact that the room was too small, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Yun Xiangxiang thought about how she had been coaxed by Song Mian to the point that she had forgotten about Li Xiangling’s existence. Now that she thought about it, her face immediately turned hot.

Not only did her face turn hot, but the phone in her hand also started to burn. She immediately said a few words to Song Mian and hung up.

She smiled at Li Xiangling. Yun Xiangxiang pulled the blanket to lie down. She hid under the blanket and smiled sweetly.

The haze in her heart was swept away. Yun Xiangxiang returned to the bright and beautiful girl who was as dazzling and warm as the sun.

“I noticed that you seem to like wearing a red dress recently.” Li Xiangling remembered that Yun Xiangxiang did not look like this in the past.

She did not seem to have any particular color that she liked. She wore clothes casually and would not specially match them.

Recently, Bright Red had appeared on her body a little more frequently.

“When I come to this place, don’t I always dress more brightly? It would look great for a photo shoot.” Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and arched her eyebrows at her.

“I’d be lying if I believed you.” Li Xiangling scoffed at this reason. This woman had probably forgotten that she did not like taking photos at all.

Moreover, she had been here for so long. Had she ever taken a photo?

“I’m not telling you the reason because I’m doing it for your own good. After all, you’re single.” Yun Xiangxiang thought about it and said earnestly. “I’m really too kind.”.

Recently, she liked to wear a red dress. It was because Song Mian had taken a screenshot of her standing on the edge of the cliff with her skirt fluttering. She had posted it on her wechat moments with the caption: “The most beautiful appearance.”.
