After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor-Chapter 426 - 427: You Know Best If I am a Man
About a hundred original inhabitants crowded the square, and all the light came from the bonfire in the center. After Lou Xi let go of Qin Mobai’s hand, many people surged between them.
Qin Mobai was a bit irritable, wanting to clear the crowd and keep Lou Xi by his side, at least within his sight.
But these original inhabitants were strong, speaking a language only understood locally. Qin Mobai couldn’t push them away and could only watch as Lou Xi got submerged in the crowd.
Recalling how earlier in the office Shen Youran seemed desperate for Lou Xi to return to her side, he worried about what Shen Youran might do!
Thinking of this, Qin Mobai couldn’t care less anymore, and with a fierce determination, he pushed through the crowd towards where Lou Xi had been swept into.
The joyous music, the heat from the bonfire, the restless crowd...
Qin Mobai seemed unable to feel any of it; he just wanted to find Lou Xi quickly!
It’s like clearing layers of mist, but the further he went, Qin Mobai still didn’t see Lou Xi’s figure!
He shouldn’t have brought Lou Xi to such a crowded place!
Suddenly, a small hand hooked around his waist. Someone, seemingly appearing from nowhere, snuck up like a little cat, pressing their head against his chest.
Seeing Lou Xi, Qin Mobai’s anxious and restless heart finally calmed down. He clasped Lou Xi’s shoulder, wanting to lead her to the outer edge of the crowd.
But there were too many people, they couldn’t squeeze out, and the two could only follow the crowd, continuing around the bonfire.
The fire was their faith.
"Where did you go just now?" Qin Mobai would no longer let go of Lou Xi, tightly protecting her against his chest.
"I was right in front. Didn’t you see me earlier?" She didn’t know why she got swept away, and then someone seemed to bump into her; that person was tall and big, and her head hurt a little from the collision.
"Keep tight hold of me; don’t run around. If you get lost, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find you."
"If I can’t find you, I’ll stand at the highest, brightest place and wait for you to come to find me," Lou Xi said with a smile.
"Okay."
After dancing around the bonfire for a while, Qin Mobai really couldn’t comprehend their way of worship, then pulled Lou Xi and tried hard to get out from the crowd.
When they got out, both of them were drenched in sweat to varying degrees on their bodies and faces.
Looking at each other’s appearance, they suddenly burst into laughter.
It’s just this feeling; others don’t know why they’re laughing, they don’t know why they’re laughing either, but it just feels funny.
With someone you love by your side, no matter what it is, it’s worth laughing at, and you’ll feel unprecedentedly good.
Once they finished laughing, Qin Mobai took Lou Xi’s shoulder and said, "I heard the stars here at night are very beautiful; I’ll take you to see them."
"Young Master Qin, in moments like this, you seem more like a man of flesh and blood."
"Oh?" Qin Mobai remained ambivalent about Lou Xi’s assessment, "You should know better than anyone."
Fortunately, the sky was completely darkening, hiding Lou Xi’s blushing cheeks.
...
Over there, a man handed a sealed bag to someone in the car.
"Chairman, the item you requested."
Ji Mushen took the sealed bag containing a strand of hair, his expression deep in thought.
"Send it to the testing center and give me a response as soon as possible." Ji Mushen needed to know if Lou Xi was actually Shen Youran’s daughter. He loved Shen Youran, loved that solitary woman.
But not her with a child.
