261: Chapter 261 Please Get Off the Bus
For some reason, once Ye Qingqing accepted this premise,
looking at Huo Sixian again made everything about him seem disagreeable.
How could someone have such an infuriating bug!
Ye Qingqing didn't understand.
However, she had no choice but to accept it as a fact.
Nevertheless, Ye Qingqing still persisted in putting up a tough front.
"I don't believe you. Everything you've said is just coincidence, just your own one-sided opinion."
Ye Qingqing simply refused to believe any of this was true.
How could someone just tell you that everything you've worked so hard to achieve, they can possess effortlessly without any effort?
Who was this supposed to infuriate?
Just randomly infuriate a little girl?
Ye Qingqing was not convinced, not convinced at all!
Right at that moment, Deng Jiayu finished preparing the chicken soup.
She promptly called out from the corner of her mouth, "Qingqing, Little Huo, come on, food's ready."
Although Ye Qingqing still wore an expression of stubborn defiance, as she stood up, she shot a fierce snort from her nose in Huo Sixian's direction.
The more she looked at Huo Sixian, the more displeased she felt.
How could someone in this world do such a thing!
Ye Qingqing was not convinced!
Truly not convinced!
Huo Sixian's heart also skipped a beat.
He hadn't expected the outcome to turn out like this either.
He had only wanted to tell Ye Qingqing about his speculation!
He hadn't imagined that Ye Qingqing would end up ignoring him!
Huo Sixian felt wronged in his heart, truly wronged!
Huo Cunsheng, meanwhile, cast a glance at the rather disappointing Huo Sixian.
He mentally rolled his eyes at Huo Sixian.
Nor did he spare Huo Sixian with his words.
"You brat! What did you do this time to make Qingqing angry!"
Huo Sixian truly felt wronged.
"I... I didn't do anything." Huo Sixian didn't miss the fact that Huo Cunsheng had called her 'Qingqing'.
How much time had even passed!
How could Huo Cunsheng already be calling her Qingqing!
Moreover, judging by Huo Cunsheng's attitude, he was clearly taking Ye Qingqing's side without even distinguishing right from wrong.
Huo Sixian's heart was truly bitter, a bitterness he couldn't voice, like a mute forced to swallow bitter herbs.
But Huo Sixian couldn't defend himself.
Feeling aggrieved, he sat down at the dining table.
Looking at the chicken soup before him, he couldn't help but swallow.
His mouth began to salivate profusely.
Deng Jiayu also looked at Huo Sixian.
"Child, have you been eating properly lately? How have you gotten so thin?"
However, after saying this, Deng Jiyu reconsidered. It was hardly surprising, after all, since the new base was still under construction, and all the previous housing and supplies were gone.
If it weren't for Ye Qingqing along the way, they might have starved to death long ago.
Let alone having a recreational vehicle to live in and chicken soup to drink now.
So, thinking of this, Deng Jiayu simply closed her mouth and ladled a bowl of soup for Huo Sixian herself.
"Hurry up and eat. Look how thin you've gotten, child. Whatever you have to say, wait until after the meal."
Huo Sixian originally had a bellyful of emotions, but after smelling the fragrant chicken soup, he suddenly felt nothing was such a big deal.
At this point, anything that could be solved with food wasn't worth being called a problem.
However, when Ye Qingqing looked at Huo Sixian, she felt displeased again.
Huo Sixian, on the other hand, was completely oblivious to Ye Qingqing's mood.
After all, Huo Sixian had been living on compressed biscuits for over a month.
Right now, he just wanted a hearty meal.
Watching Huo Sixian's ravenous, wolf-like demeanor as he attacked the food,
and noticing his more prominent collarbones and jawline, Ye Qingqing ultimately held back the harsh words she wanted to say.
She decided to wait until after Huo Sixian had eaten before discussing anything else.
However, after the meal, Xiao Lǜ spoke up from the front.
"M-master... I think we've arrived."
Xiao Lǜ's voice trembled faintly, looking as if she was terribly afraid of being punished by Ye Qingqing.
Meanwhile, Huo Sixian had just finished his last sip of soup.
No one at the entire table had tried to snatch any from him.
After letting out a satisfied burp, Huo Sixian finally got off the recreational vehicle.
The place Xiao Lǜ had arrived at was precisely the entrance at the mountaintop.
A great many helicopters were parked here.
However, these helicopters seemed to be divided into several territories, one area per block.
At a single glance, one could tell which base each helicopter belonged to.
Upon seeing these helicopters, Ye Qingqing's gaze involuntarily shifted to Xiao Lǜ and Xiao Ye.
She remembered her own destroyed one; it was such a pity.
helicopters like these were non-renewable resources now.
If she wanted to get her hands on another helicopter later, she'd either have to rely on Huo Sixian or resort to seizing one by force.
"Let's get off."
Huo Sixian looked at Ye Qingqing, speaking without much confidence, as he had no idea if she was still angry.
Ye Qingqing didn't say anything about it, simply storing away items from the vehicle that shouldn't be visible into her space for the time being.
She didn't yet know the situation around them.
So it was best to be cautious about everything.
As soon as Ye Qingqing, Deng Jiayu, and the others got off the vehicle, they saw Mo Wangchuan and his group who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
Mo Wangchuan, Kong Ziyi, Lu Huan, Meng Hangfei, Wang Xiaochun...
Seeing familiar faces, the heart that Ye Qingqing had kept suspended throughout the journey finally settled.
Fortunately, her companions around her were all safe and sound, with nothing amiss.
Leng Qingyue, who had been following behind Ye Qingqing, also drove up in her van.
Having endured a dusty and arduous journey, it was only upon reaching this place that Leng Qingyue's heart also relaxed.
Looking at the child beside her, she revealed a knowing smile.
Ye Qingqing walked over to Leng Qingyue's van and knocked on her window.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Hurry up and get out. What? Do I need to ask you to please get out of the car?"
Leng Qingyue was feeling somewhat shy at the moment, as there were more people here than she had imagined.
Moreover, in the place where Leng Qingyue had stayed before, she had witnessed too much darkness in human nature.
When Leng Qingyue saw so many people again, she still felt some fear in her heart.
So when Ye Qingqing knocked on her window, Leng Qingyue's heart was pounding fiercely.
She was somewhat afraid to get out of the car.
Ye Qingqing, however, couldn't stand Leng Qingyue's current hesitant, bashful demeanor.
Just as she was about to pull open Leng Qingyue's car door, she didn't expect Leng Qingyue to get out first.
Getting off with her were the wooden doll and the Infant held in the wooden doll's arms.
When Lu Huan and the others saw there was another person behind Ye Qingqing, they were all momentarily stunned.
But when they saw Xiao Lǜ, Xiao Ye, Xiao Guang, and Xiao Hu getting off Ye Qingqing's recreational vehicle, their eyes widened and their mouths gaped in shock.
Staring at the several dolls floating before them, they were momentarily too stunned to speak.
