Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 249 Qinling Sacred Tree (8)

The next morning, the sun shone faintly through the tent, and Ji Xiao was still immersed in a sweet dream. However, the chirping of birds outside the tent broke the tranquility and woke her up from her dream.

Ji Xiao rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up, slowly put on her clothes, and then stepped out of the tent. At this time, she was still a little confused, looking at everything covered with ice and snow with a dazed look.

When she saw Zhang Qiling, Ji Xiao subconsciously greeted him: "Good morning."

Zhang Qiling saw her and smiled and replied, "Good morning." He looked at Ji Xiao, who seemed to be still sleepy, and thought he should take her to the fire first.

So Zhang Qiling stood up, gently took Ji Xiao's hand, and led her to the fire. Ji Xiao was like a docile little lamb, letting Zhang Qiling lead her, still in a daze.

Coming to the fire, Zhang Qiling carefully helped Ji Xiao sit down. Ji Xiao's eyes were still half closed, as if she might fall asleep again at any time.

Zhang Qiling shook his head helplessly, with a barely perceptible doting smile on his face. He then picked up the thermos cup beside him, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao took the thermos cup in a daze and took a sip. Suddenly, a warm and sweet taste rushed up her throat, making her eyes widen. "Hmm... so sweet..." Ji Xiao muttered to herself, and then drank it in big gulps.

Seeing Ji Xiao's satisfied expression, Zhang Qiling also felt very happy. He sat quietly aside, silently looking at the lovely girl in front of him, enjoying this rare leisure time.

Zhang Qiling stared at Ji Xiao, his lips slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile. He slowly reached out his hand, picked up the water cup in front of him, took a sip of warm water, and then cast his gaze on Ji Xiao again, his eyes filled with unprecedented tenderness.

Ever since he met Ji Xiao, this cold and indifferent man seemed to have a hint of worldly air, as if the unreachable stars had finally fallen into the mortal world and were tainted with the smell of fireworks.

After Ji Xiao drank half a cup of warm water, she felt refreshed, and her exhausted body gradually regained some vitality. At this time, she noticed that Zhang Qiling had been staring at her silently, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion: "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head slightly, indicating no. Ji Xiao had recovered her spirits at this time, because today they were going to leave the inner circle and leave this ancient and mysterious Changbai Mountain.

So, after waking up, Ji Xiao took out various fresh ingredients, tables and chairs, and cooking utensils from the space she carried with her.

Then, Ji Xiao started to prepare breakfast with great skill. She skillfully fiddled with the ingredients in her hands, while Zhang Qiling quietly helped by the side, watching the fire and occasionally adding some firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously.

Before long, an alluring aroma filled the air.

Zhang Qiling turned his head from time to time to look at Ji Xiao's busy figure, and a warm current surged in his heart. This warm feeling was both strange and novel to him, but he cherished it very much.

After breakfast was ready, Zhang Qiling helped to bring it to the table, then added a few more pieces of firewood to the fire, put the kettle on the rack and started to burn, then he came to sit at the table. Ji Xiao placed the prepared meal in front of him and said, "Come and try my cooking."

Zhang Qiling picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth. After chewing it carefully and swallowing it, he said, "It tastes good. It's delicious."

Ji Xiao smiled happily, because cooks are always happy to receive praise from others. Before, the food they ate inside the bronze gate was all ordered by Ji Xiao from restaurants outside.

So this meal was made by Ji Xiao herself. Although she seldom cooks, her cooking skills are still good. In addition, the ingredients are slightly spiritual, so it will taste even better.

"I've been out for so long this time, not only did I meet you, but I also had such a special memory."

Zhang Qiling stared at Ji Xiao quietly, with an imperceptible emotional fluctuation in his eyes, and responded softly: "Well, we will have more memories in the future."

After breakfast, Ji Xiao quickly put all the items into the space. Zhang Qiling silently filled the two people's cups with warm water, then carefully put out the fire and carefully covered up the traces they left behind.

After doing all this, the two of them set out on their journey to leave Changbai Mountain. They walked farther and farther away, and finally their figures completely blended into the dense forest.

The pace of going down the mountain was always much lighter than that of going up the mountain, but when they arrived in Beijing, a whole month had passed.

At this time, Ji Xiao judged based on the information provided by Yun Duo that the plot had not yet begun because she had brought Zhang Qiling out of the bronze door in advance.

After walking out of the train station, Ji Xiao turned around and asked Zhang Qiling beside her: "Now that we have arrived in Beijing, do you have a place to stay?" Her eyes were full of concern, as if she was worried that he had nowhere to go.

There were a lot of people at the train station, so Zhang Qiling followed behind Ji Xiao silently, protecting her as they walked outside. After hearing Ji Xiao's question, he was ready to shake his head, but because he was behind Ji Xiao, she couldn't see him shaking his head, so he said aloud, "I don't remember whether there was or not."

After hearing this, Ji Xiao realized that Zhang Qiling would lose his memory every few years, so she suggested: "Why don't you come to my house with me first. You don't have to worry, there is no one else in my house, and the space is large, so you don't have to feel constrained."

Zhang Qiling thought about it and then responded: "Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After leaving the station, Ji Xiao stopped a taxi on the side of the road. After the two of them got in, Ji Xiao told the driver his home address.

She hasn't returned home yet, so she doesn't know. She didn't go back for the New Year, and everyone at home was worried about her. So this time, during the holiday, Qi Heng brought Ji Xiao's mother and little Douding here, and now the whole family is waiting for her at home.
