“Yes, yes, yes. We’re at the foot of the mountain. How did you walk all the way there?” Su Yi sighed. She was still worried about her. Had the abbot told her privately that something serious had happened? Was that why she had been acting like this? She asked carefully, “Tell me the truth. Is this about the annulment of the contract?”
Upon seeing her serious look, Ling Sheng let out a laugh and shook her head hurriedly. “No, it’s something else. I’ve already thought it through. It’s alright.”
Su Yi was still worried. “Don’t lie to me. If anything bad happens, we can look for the abbot and get her to help us deal with it.”
“I’m really fine.” Ling Sheng raised her hand and swore. “This has nothing to do with me.”
“So it has to do with Nun Jingxin?” Su Yi did not know why she had such a good relationship with this person. They had just met for the first time. Perhaps this was fate. “What did you talk about in the afternoon when I was not around?”
“We were chatting about everything under the sun.” Ling Sheng smiled meaningfully.
Su Yi smiled and teased her, but she did not ask her any more questions. Even though their relationship was good, she would not ask if she did not tell her anything.
The car Lu Yubai had sent over was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain. When they got in, it was already five in the afternoon. Who knew that before the car had gone far, the tire would suddenly burst?
There were no spare tires in the car. The chauffeur looked at the duo apologetically. “Ms. Ling, Ms. Su, I’m really sorry. I didn’t drive this car last time. I didn’t know there were no spare tires. Wait a while. The tow truck and a new car will arrive soon.”
Ling Sheng was hungry. The people in the temple did not eat lunch. In the afternoon, she had only eaten a small plate of pastries Nun Jingxin had given her. After going down the mountain, she was already famished.
Su Yi, on the other hand, was fine. Her appetite was not big to begin with, and she gained weight easily. Every day, she ate rice grains, especially when she was about to release a new album and film a music video. She had made her figure regimen stricter half a month ago and was already used to hunger.
The chauffeur said that a car would arrive soon, but after waiting for an hour, it did not arrive. He said that there was a traffic jam in the capital and the car could not get out. He was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. “Ms. Ling, I’m really sorry. Are the two of you hungry? I’ll buy you something to eat.”
Ling Sheng knew that it was not his fault. “There’s no need. Let’s wait for the car to arrive!”
This place was not accessible by cars at all. The roads there were all dirt roads, the kind that had not been repaired before, and there were potholes everywhere. Who would go there for no reason? The car had been damaged for an hour, but they had not seen a single car drive past.
Su Yi showed her the map. The internet was also very slow, so it took a long time to load it. The nearest village was three kilometers away, so it would take half an hour to get there.
Right across from them, a military car was driving over. When it reached them, it stopped. The rear window happened to be facing Ling Sheng’s window.
The car window rolled down, revealing Dongfang Meng’s smiling face. She raised an eyebrow at her. “Did your car break down? Get in my car and let’s leave!”
Upon seeing her, Ling Sheng subconsciously wanted to reject her offer. However, she was actually hungry. In the end, she yielded to reality and agreed.
Su Yi did not know who Dongfang Meng was, but she felt natural admiration for soldiers from the depths of her heart. She felt that they were noble and had an important image, especially female soldiers. They were simply her idols.
“You came with Lu Yubai, right?” Dongfang Meng looked at her silently. The way she was sitting upright made her look serious and adorable.
