Chapter 615: Chapter 615: He Understands Her, He Stays with Her, and That’s Great Chapter 615: Chapter 615: He Understands Her, He Stays with Her, and That’s Great For quite a while, Lu Mian finally put away those emotions and even comforted Xiao Qimo in return.
The man nodded, “I was scared.” But what he felt more was heartache.
Lu Mian sighed, “I knew it, I shouldn’t have told you all this.”
At this, Xiao Qimo was quite unhappy, “If you don’t tell me, who do you want to tell?”
The straightforward Lu Mian didn’t understand why he thought this way.
If she didn’t tell him, she wouldn’t tell anyone else either.
“Right, do you still remember the pavilion at Kunpeng School?”
Xiao Qimo became serious, “I remember.
As you said, it should also be a magnetic field passage.
I took samples for them to test, and indeed, they detected an abnormal magnetic field.
Some experts suggested that it resembled more of a spatial transport station.”
The kidnapping case two years ago, our last disappearance point was there.
But at that time, we had all lost our senses.
I don’t know what protective measures they took, and I’m unclear about where it led.
I only remember that when I woke up, I was in the lab.”
The kidnappers at that time must have taken protective measures as well.
As for the time later when she was pushed into the pavilion by Gu Jingyi, she was fortunate to have worn the ring given to her by Director Qimo, which left her unharmed.
But without the ring’s help, her special constitution wouldn’t have killed her, but she would have suffered some pain.
That was also why she inquired about the pavilion multiple times without fear of its eerie nature.
She just acted wilfully, relying on her special constitution.
“What happened in the lab?
Where does that magnetic field passage lead to?
Xiao Qimo had too many questions about the kidnapping case.
His concern for the kidnapping case was no less than Lu Mian’s.
Lu Mian paused, not answering his questions, but instead asked, “Director Qimo, what about you?
Why have you been investigating this matter all along?
You must have something you haven’t told me, right?
And what’s with the international police force?”
The two used the same parallel questioning technique, rendering each other speechless.
Lu Mian pursed her lips.
After half a minute, Lu Mian asked directly.
“The international police force is always quite poor, and suddenly offering a reward for number thirteen must mean they’ve encountered a problem, a problem related to the kidnapping case.
have they started again?”
Xiao Qimo knew all too well who those people were.
It’s just that, he hadn’t decided how to answer this question either.
His silence made Lu Mian sit up straight, and Xiao Qimo felt a loss of warmth and pressure on his legs, and felt a bit of loss.
Lu Mian paused and looked at Xiao Qimo, a sly look flashing in her eyes.
“Director Qimo, let’s exchange a secret with each other.”
He had what she wanted to know, and she had what he wanted to know.
The two looked at each other.
Xiao Qimo took out his phone, his deep and cunning eyes agreeing readily, “Alright.
How about we each write a message and send it to each other at the same time?”
Lu Mian snapped her fingers, “OK.”
Both of them took out their phones and started typing seriously.
After a while, Lu Mian asked, “Director Qimo, have you finished writing?”
“Then I’ll count down three, two, one, and we’ll send it to each other at the same time.”
The two looked at each other, smiling and averting their gazes, each hiding a sliver of sly emotion.
As soon as Lu Mian finished the last digit, both clicked the send button simultaneously, keeping their promise.
Lu Mian opened the message, her gaze pausing slightly.
And at Xiao Qimo’s end, upon receiving Lu Mian’s message, a light laugh spilled over his lips.
Lu Mian’s text read: [Don’t get involved in this anymore, I just hope you’re safe.]
Lu Mian looked at her phone.
Xiao Qimo’s text message read, “Stop getting involved in this matter, I will keep you safe.”
Both were a bit sly when messaging, each intending to draw out words from the other.
As they measured each other up, they ended up understanding one another.
And they, too, read the meaning of each other’s text message.
No one could stop the other, and no one could change the other, yet they cared for each other deeply and sincerely.
Looking at the two messages that were almost identical, the scholarly man and the debauched girl smiled at the same time.
Xiao Qimo raised his hand, and with his index finger, he gently pressed on the girl’s forehead.
Lu Mian bit his finger lightly, with just enough force to punish.
Xiao Qimo’s finger twitched as if electrified, then he caressed her lips with his finger, his entire palm treasuring and gently cradling her cheek.
They locked eyes, close enough to feel each other’s breath.
His gaze was deep and focused, chilly and elegant, yet it felt warm to Lu Mian.
“Mhm.” She obediently responded.
Xiao Qimo’s heart skipped a beat.
With swallowing motions at his Adam’s apple, the man said with understanding, yet heartache, “Don’t force yourself; you’re not alone.”
Lu Mian nodded, feeling a slight tingling at the tip of her nose.
She was grateful that Xiao Qimo didn’t force her to back down and hadn’t compelled her to stop her actions in the name of “it’s for your own good.” She had someone she needed to protect.
She was the only “success” among the “so-called test subjects.” She couldn’t stop, nor was it possible for her to do so.
She was moved by his understanding.
He understood her, he was with her, and that was enough for her.
“Thank you, Director Qimo.”
The girl looked down, and when her eyelashes slightly fell, the man’s lips, carrying a hint of coolness, pressed against hers.
Xiao Qimo kissed her eyes, nose, and eventually her lips earnestly.
His tenderness and cherish for her made every kiss extraordinarily careful and delicate.
This girl, who had truly faced the God of Death in the dark, made every single one of his nerves ache with empathy.
In the midst of their lips and teeth intertwining, Lu Mian unconsciously made a soft sound, tilting her head back to receive his gossamer-like kiss.
The ring on her chest grew hot, from her quickly beating heart.
From initial shyness to gradual acceptance, she seemed to be opening her heart more to Director Qimo.
Her arms wrapped around the man’s strong waist, pulling him closer to her.
In this bloom-filled conservatory, during this undisturbed moment, only their slightly hurried breathing and the romantic and ambiguous air lingered around them.
Even the calls that came to the phone, killing the mood, were quietly and decisively hung up.
Yun Sang called Lu Mian, but unexpectedly, the call was hung up.
On the other side, Mo Si wanted to report to Xiao Qimo about work, but he couldn’t get through.
“Yun God, Miss Lu didn’t answer the call either?”
Yun Sang pursed his lips, “No.
Your Boss Mo didn’t answer either?”
Mo Si rested his chin on his hands, explaining innocently and kindly, “Maybe, they’re busy.
I heard it’s quite strict over there.
Boss Mo didn’t bring me and Mo Nie this time because the inspection was too thorough, making it difficult to make arrangements.”
“Really?” Yun Sang raised an eyebrow, chuckling without humor, “Are you sure your Boss Mo didn’t want to spend time alone together?”
“…” Mo Si realized belatedly, “Yun God, I feel a bit upset, I’m going to leave now…”
Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo were about to depart.
But Pan Jiancheng called Lu Mian to the lab alone, not allowing Xiao Qimo and Dong Li to stay by her side.
It was obvious that he had something to discuss.
