Chapter 2013: Meeting
Bo Cixue called Ah Zuo.
However, the call did not go through.
She looked at the dark sky and sighed.
She was really unwilling to go back after coming all the way.
The conductor looked at Bo Cixue, who was wandering around the door with her eyebrows furrowed. He walked over and asked her, “Are you in a hurry to get to Lin Town?”
Bo Cixue nodded.
The ticket seller said, “I have an uncle who brings food over from Lin Town on a tricycle every day. Although the bridge over there is broken, there is still a small path and tricycle can pass through.”
The conductor sized up Bo Cixue. Seeing that she was young and fair and looked like a child from a rich family, she sighed. “But you might have to suffer a little by riding the tricycle. The road is really bumpy.”
Happiness appeared in Bo Cixue’s clear eyes. “Auntie, help me contact your uncle. I want to take his tricycle to Lin Town.”
“Alright.”
Bo Cixue went outside to buy a bag of fruits for the conductor, who quickly contacted her uncle.
After waiting for half an hour, an old man of about sixty came over on a tricycle.
Bo Cixue bought him a cigarette. The old man tried to reject it and but eventually accepted the cigarette before placing the suitcase on the tricycle for Bo Cixue.
Bo Cixue had never taken a tricycle and the road to town was indeed full of holes, but she had no complaints.
The old man glanced at the young girl behind him and asked loudly, “Young lady, I don’t think I’ve seen you in town. Why are you going there?”
“A friend of mine is over there. I’ll go and find him.”
“It must be your boyfriend!” The old man chuckled and said, “That young man is really lucky. Even delicate girls don’t want to go to Lin Town.”
Bo Cixue smiled and said nothing.
The old man rode for three to four hours before arriving at Lin Town.
After Bo Cixue thanked the elderly man, she carried her suitcase and rushed to the office building of the town’s leader.
There was a guardhouse at the door and the guards on duty stopped Bo Cixue.
Bo Cixue was about to speak when a surprised voice trailed over. “Miss Bo?”
It was Ah Zuo.
He looked at Bo Cixue in disbelief.
Seeing that Ah Zuo knew the woman in front of him, the guard on duty did not stop her.
Bo Cixue looked at Ah Zuo, who was walking toward her, and a smile appeared on her lips. “It’s me, Ah Zuo. It’s been a while.”
When Ah Zuo saw Bo Cixue, he thought that he had seen wrongly.
A few days ago, she had sent a message asking where they were. He had replied and she had not contacted him since.
At that time, he thought she was just asking and had not expected her to come!
“Miss Bo, did you come from M Country?”
Bo Cixue nodded.
It must have been tough traveling all the way.
Ah Zuo took Bo Cixue to their yard. There were no more rooms for the time being, so Ah Zuo had no choice but to bring her to the Crown Prince’s room.
“His Highness and Ah You went to the village for inspection and might not be back until two days later. Miss Bo, rest here first. I’ll inform His Highness.”
Bo Cixue could not sleep and shook her head. “Is there a car here that can go to the countryside?”
“The conditions here are not good. His Highness drove over and I’m using my motorcycle around here.”
Bo Cixue nodded. She took out her daily necessities and a set of clothes from her suitcase, put them in her bag, and reached out her hand to Ah Zuo. “Give me the motorcycle keys.”
Ah Zuo was speechless.
“Miss Bo, the roads to the countryside are muddy.”
“It’s nothing.”
Ah Zuo still had something important to attend to in the afternoon and could not go with Bo Cixue.
He wanted to send someone to go with Bo Cixue, but Bo Cixue refused. “I’ll use my phone’s GPS.”
“The signal over there is not good. I’ll draw a route for you.”
“Okay.”
Bo Cixue then rode the motorcycle to the countryside.
In the afternoon, the weather improved and there were trees on both sides of the road. The fragrance of wild flowers filled her nose. It was a different scenery from the bustling and noisy city.
Although she did not know what she would do after seeing Ye Jie, the environment made her feel relaxed.
After riding for more than forty minutes, Bo Cixue arrived at the countryside.
On the small path into the village, there were several seven to eight-year-old children playing under a tree.
“The bird’s so pitiful.”
A young girl sat on the ground and cried.
The two boys were barefooted and wanted to climb up the tree to replace the bird’s nest that had fallen, but they would always slide down halfway.
Bo Cixue got off the motorcycle and walked to the little girl whose face was covered in tears. “Little girl, don’t cry. Sister will put the bird’s nest back.”
The girl looked at Bo Cixue with tears in her eyes and opened her mouth. “Fairy Sister…”
Bo Cixue smiled. “Fairies don’t know how to climb trees.”
She took off her sports shoes and climbed up the tree easily under the admiration and surprise of the children.
“Fairy Sister is amazing!”
Bo Cixue climbed to the top of the tree and fixed the bird’s nest.
Seeing that the bird’s nest had returned to the tree, the girl smiled. “Thank you, Fairy Sister.”
“You’re welcome.”
Bo Cixue was about to come down when she suddenly saw a group of people walking over.
The person walking at the front was wearing a black shirt and pants, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His expression was cold and serious as he listened to the staff beside him.
Bo Cixue’s heart skipped a beat.
She did not expect to meet Ye Jie and the rest while she was still on the tree.
There were several people from the royal family behind him and it would be bad if they saw her.
Bo Cixue made a gesture to silence the children under the tree. “Go and play. Sister wants to see the scenery here.”
The children ran away.
Bo Cixue was only hoping that Ye Jie would go over and not notice the tree.
Soon, they arrived.
Ye Jie, who was walking in front, looked at the motorcycle parked under the tree and narrowed his dark eyes slightly.
Ah You also saw the motorcycle and was puzzled. “Why does it look like the one Ah Zuo is riding?”
Ah You looked around but did not see Ah Zuo.
Bo Cixue held her breath and blocked herself with the branches and leaves, not daring to breathe.
They walked away very quickly.
Bo Cixue let out a long sigh of relief.
When they were far away, Bo Cixue came down from the tree.
Sitting on a patch of grass, she wiped her feet clean and put on her shoes.
She felt that something was wrong, as if someone was staring at her.
She turned around slowly.
The man, who had originally walked away, was now standing under a tree. It was hard to ignore his unique cold aura.
He had one hand in his pocket, his dark eyes staring fixedly at her delicate body.
His gaze seemed to want to see through her.
Her heart thumped.
Bo Cixue bit her lip and held her forehead, forcing herself to look into his eyes.
