Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 484: He Also Has His Lonely Moments 4
After breakfast, they really ran to the edge of the desert.
The wind is a constant presence here, growing stronger the closer one approaches the desert.
Interestingly, inside the oasis, you hardly feel the erosion of sand by wind.
But now, stepping to the edge of the oasis, the feeling of wind and sand assailing you becomes suddenly clear.
Without a face-covering and sunglasses, the feeling would probably be even sharper.
Because of just a lyric, Uncle actually brought her to this place.
"Would you like to take a camel ride?" the man standing beside her suddenly asked.
Xia Yinian hesitated a bit, actually feeling a certain reverence towards the boundless desert.
The desert is very dangerous, she knew that, but since tourists are allowed here, safety should be somewhat guaranteed, right?
A large palm firmly grasped her small hand, his voice resonating by her ear: "I’m with you all the way, no need to be afraid."
Finally, Xia Yinian nodded: "Mhm."
The team leader picked out the strongest camel for them, which could carry two people without a problem, provided they didn’t venture too far.
Gu Beicheng got onto the camel first, then bent over and reached out a hand to Xia Yinian.
This time, Xia Yinian didn’t hesitate and placed her hand in his.
In the blink of an eye, she found herself in his embrace, sitting together with him on the camel’s back.
The Camel Driver and team leader exchanged a few words, the team leader nodding, and the Camel Driver looked up at the two with a very amiable smile, his language a bit rough around the edges.
Though his words were stilted, they were still understandable: "We’ll pass through the edge of the oasis, not venturing too deep into the desert, but you’ll be able to see many beautiful views, very beautiful."
Gu Beicheng nodded, and the Camel Driver immediately led the camel forward.
The deeper they ventured into the desert, the more palpable the sensation of billowing yellow sand became, as seen on TV.
The wind howled, encasing the sky with sand, and amidst it all, it felt as though one were in paradise.
Xia Yinian’s heart, initially uneasy, gradually calmed down.
"I’m afraid they will look for me." This was her only worry now; although voicing it might spoil the mood, she was concerned.
What if Gu Lingqian started looking for her? He might desperately search everywhere, and it feels unpleasant to have others scrambling about, filling her with guilt.
"I left him a message, saying I took you out for travel," Gu Beicheng said indifferently, his emotions indiscernible amidst the wind and sand.
Xia Yinian couldn’t imagine what Gu Lingqian’s reaction would be upon seeing the message left by Uncle.
She felt guilty inside, not wanting to be the spark that ignites conflict between them.
Yet, the scenery before her so enchanting, and the man holding her from behind, providing such a sense of security.
In this moment, she wanted to think of nothing, forget everything.
The wind was strong, blowing their clothes, fluttering sleeves, scattering hair.
It felt as if they were shooting a movie, so surreal and fantastical, haha.
This man is truly mad, to bring her to such a mystical place.
Suddenly, his large palm covered hers, enveloping her small hand tightly.
"Now, would you be willing to sing a song for me?" he whispered into her ear.
Gu Beicheng, this jerk... how did she never realize that he was also an expert in flirting?
Can’t he stop being so sentimental? All the hurt he caused before, now, because of his romantic gestures, it becomes so blurred in her memory!
Why, must he make her heart struggle so?
