Chapter 316 Blocking
Yuan Lai hurriedly caught up with the two people on the road ahead, shouting as he ran, "Wait! Wait a minute!"
After hearing the shout, the two men stopped, turned around, and looked at Yuan Lai with confusion on their faces. One of them asked, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Lai looked carefully at the two people in front of him. They looked young and immature, and it was obvious that they were school children. There was no way they could be the two people he was looking for before.
Realizing that he had recognized the wrong person, Yuan Lai showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He quickly waved his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
However, at this moment, Yuan Lai saw the backs of two people appear at the corner of the street, and she said that she was not mistaken.
What we saw at that time were the backs of these two people, but they turned a corner halfway, and it just so happened that the two students were also wearing black tops.
In order to increase her running speed, Yuan Lai kicked up the hem of her long skirt and held it in her hands, speeding up to chase after them, getting closer and closer to the two people.
The two people in front quickly sensed Yuan Lai's presence behind them and quickened their pace.
Yuan Lai was left behind, and when she reached the intersection, the man was no longer in sight.
The clear sky was suddenly covered by a huge dark cloud, and the sunlight disappeared without a trace. Then, raindrops fell, hitting the ground, and the splashing water soaked Yuan Lai's shoes.
Yuan Lai stood blankly on the street, staring at the sudden downpour, and asked inwardly, "Sunny day, is that you? Are you asking me for help?"
The rain blurred her vision, but Yuan Lai seemed unaware and stood quietly in the rain.
As the rain intensified, people began running for shelter. Some covered their heads with their hands and jogged to store entrances, others stood at bus stops, and still others leisurely opened their umbrellas.
Suddenly, Yuan Lai felt something strange happen to the beads she was holding. She looked down and saw that the once round and smooth beads had suddenly, like quicksand, scattered from her palm without warning and fell to the wet ground.
Yuan Lai's heart suddenly felt like it had fallen into a bottomless abyss, so heavy that she could hardly breathe.
Her feet suddenly felt weightless, and her entire body was suspended in the air. At the same time, an extremely familiar aura surged over her like a tide, enveloping her tightly.
The sound of the wind whistled past his ears, and Yuan Lai's eyes were dark, and he couldn't tell the directions at all.
&34;We should keep moving forward, let go of the past that we are holding tightly, and say goodbye to the regrets we once had...&34; A melodious and affectionate song came from a distance, like a soft hand, slowly caressing Yuan Lai's ears.
She tried hard to open her eyes to see what was going on, but the person holding her covered her eyes tightly with his palms and took her through the space filled with singing at an astonishing speed.
Finally, Yuan Lai's toes touched the ground again, and then he stood firmly on his heels.
She turned around hurriedly and saw a familiar face - it was Qi Rong.
And here is Cangkong Mountain.
Beneath her feet lay a vast expanse of glaciers. As far as the eye could see, streams of lava flowed down from the mountaintops. Where the lava met the glaciers, a hissing sound was heard, and wisps of white mist emerged, filling the air.
The last time I came here, Cangkong Mountain was still full of vitality, but now everything has changed. Even the leaves of the towering, lush Yunxiao tree have turned a withered yellow, as if they have been eroded by the merciless passage of time.
"Qi Rong, sunny day..." Yuan Lai subconsciously called out the name, but was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"That's not Qingtian, her name is Jiang Qingtian." Qi Rong's voice was low and firm.
Yuan Lai didn't bother to think about the name at the moment. She said anxiously, "Jiang Qingtian, she might have been kidnapped! I have to go save her!"
Qi Rong's hands were like iron clamps, pressing tightly on Yuan Lai's shoulders, preventing her from moving at all.
His eyes revealed an unprecedented determination: "Yuan Lai, she has nothing to do with you anymore. You can't save her."
Hearing this, Yuan Lai's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She had never imagined that Qi Rong would reject her so decisively.
"Why?" Yuan Lai's voice trembled slightly with anxiety and confusion.
Qi Rong reached out and unzipped his shirt. As the clothes gradually opened, a horrific wound was exposed to the air.
Compared with the last time, the wound has obviously become more serious. The wound that was originally healing slowly is now so deep that the muscle tissue under the skin can almost be seen. It looks shocking.
"What's going on? Why is it getting worse?" Seeing this scene, Yuan Lai couldn't help but scream out in surprise. She widened her eyes and her face was full of concern.
Qi Rong sighed heavily, a hint of helplessness showing on his face: "Yuan Lai, you have already informed Zhou Qingran about Jiang Qingtian's matter. Let them deal with everything else on their own, okay?"
Hearing this, Yuan Lai subconsciously shook his head, "No..."
She saw it all, how could she just ignore it?
Qi Rong put on his clothes and held her hand. "Yuan Lai, you've seen the scene at Cangkong Mountain. I need to return to the Daming as soon as possible to ensure that it won't be eroded. That's why I'm not with you. I don't want you to get involved in this and get yourself into danger."
Are you leaving so soon? Yuan Lai thought of the gift on the bedroom table that she hadn't had time to give away. "When will you be back?"
Qi Rong replied, "Maybe I won't come back until Yun Qing wakes up."
"What about Zhao Zhao?"
"Go find Ren He. She also wants to return to her own world."
Yuan Lai was speechless for a moment. Faced with the sudden farewell, all words seemed pale and powerless.
Qi Rong hugged Yuan Lai and sent her to the door of her house. "Remember my words, don't worry about Jiang Qingtian."
After saying that, he took out a bracelet and put it on Yuan Lai's wrist. "This is a gift I bought for you. I hope you will be healthy, safe, and happy in the future."
Yuan Lai grabbed Qi Rong's sleeve and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to give you too!"
The moment he turned around, Yuan Lai trembled all over, then opened the door and sat down on the sofa naturally.
Yuan Sheng, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise and came out. Seeing Yuan Lai sitting on the sofa, she asked curiously, "Sister, aren't you in danger?"
Yuan Lai crossed his legs and turned on the TV. "What danger could there be for me? In a society ruled by law, how could I be kidnapped?"
"That's right." Yuan Sheng brought the cooked dishes and sat next to Yuan Lai. "I told you that you were trying to scare me on purpose, just to find an excuse to meet with Mr. Qi. Come and try my cooking skills, the new piggy blanket I learned."
Yuan Lai was quite confident in Yuan Sheng's cooking skills and asked casually, "Mr. Qi..."
