Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Only Ten Minutes Chapter 311: Chapter 311 Only Ten Minutes Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao now had money at hand, and Qin Yize, even more so.
These items wouldn’t even be worth the postage if mailed back…
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, the day to leave Border City arrived.
Originally, Qin Yize was supposed to leave with them.
However, Qin Yize suddenly had to go inspect some work down below.
Gu Qiaoqiao was set to depart at noon, while Qin Yize had left early in the morning.
At this moment, they were all in Great Grandma’s small courtyard, where the neighbors didn’t know much about Lady Yu’s affairs, only that her family had found her.
The people here were simple and warm, chatting non-stop with Lady Yu and Zhao Yuxiang.
Gu Qingfeng and Uncle Gu sat under the shade of the trees outside, enjoying the cool.
Gu Qiaoqiao, on the other hand, was wondering if anything had been left behind.
After all, she might never return here again.
Standing at the doorway, she suddenly saw a familiar jeep speeding toward her from a distance.
It kicked up the yellow sand on the road.
It seemed that in the blink of an eye, it stopped right in front of Gu Qiaoqiao.
The car door opened, and Qin Yize strode toward Gu Qiaoqiao with long steps, like the tall poplar trees of the Northern Borderlands.
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned; hadn’t he left already?
And now he seemed to be in a hurry.
He grabbed Gu Qiaoqiao and started walking toward the east.
Luh Fei got out of the car, grinning and greeting Gu Qingfeng and Uncle Gu.
Luh Fei was an outgoing person who could easily strike up a conversation, so he quickly started chatting.
Meanwhile, Qin Yize took Gu Qiaoqiao to a big tree on the east side.
Once they stopped, Gu Qiaoqiao quickly asked, “Do you have some urgent matter?”
“No big deal, just couldn’t rest easy without seeing you before I left,” Qin Yize’s eyes, warm and intense, fixated on Gu Qiaoqiao without any attempt to hide his feelings.
His voice was soft, but it carried an almost imperceptible emotion.
He actually didn’t have the time to see her.
The scene from the river’s whirlpool seemed to replay like a movie in his nightmares at midnight.
Without seeing Gu Qiaoqiao, he thought, he wouldn’t be at ease even on his inspection work.
Therefore, he took care of his tasks as quickly as possible and squeezed out fifteen minutes.
Considering the travel time, he had less than ten minutes to talk to Gu Qiaoqiao.
Seeing that Gu Qiaoqiao was in good spirits somewhat eased his heart.
“Yeah, I’m doing well here, with Uncle Gu around, you can rest assured,” Gu Qiaoqiao reassured Qin Yize.
Uncle Gu knew martial arts.
Gu Qiaoqiao had only found out a few days ago, and apparently, his skills were very good.
“Qiaoqiao…” Qin Yize called out softly.
“Hmm?” Gu Qiaoqiao looked at him with questioning eyes.
“The promise you made to me, you must fulfill it!”
Gu Qiaoqiao blinked in surprise, blinks again; Qin Yize’s statement was so sudden she hadn’t quite caught on.
Qin Yize knitted his brows, “The day before yesterday by the river…” Although slightly annoyed, he patiently reminded her.
Suddenly Gu Qiaoqiao remembered and hurriedly nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep my promise.”
Qin Yize’s previously cold features softened like the waters of a spring, and he reached out to ruffle Gu Qiaoqiao’s hair, “Good girl…”
Gu Qiaoqiao dodged, complaining, “I’m not a child, why do you always say ‘good girl’…”
Qin Yize, unfazed, with a smile in his eyes, continued to admonish her, “I might be at the testing ground for half a month, maybe a month…”
“Yeah, you take care of yourself too.”
Qin Yize, seeming to want to put Gu Qiaoqiao at ease, explained, “This task is somewhat intricate and requires a process, but it should be relatively easy.”
Then, he gazed intently at Gu Qiaoqiao, “It’s just you…”
“What about me?” Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t help asking, surprised.
