Xu Lu sniffed the clothes by her nose, her green eyes lighting up.
"Sister, I can recognize your scent."
Xu Qian was speechless. She was wearing only a white tank top, and the cool breeze made her shiver.
She rubbed her arms and took out another sports jacket to put on.
"Alright, let's go."
As she spoke, Xu Qian turned away, not wanting to face the farewell.
The sound of the car starting up echoed, then gradually faded.
Xu Qian suppressed her emotions, determined not to look back. But in the end, she couldn't help but turn her head.
She watched the jeep drive away, kicking up dust.
Xu Lu, I hope we can meet again someday.
Xu Qian rubbed her reddened eyes and turned to walk back into the base.
Xu Lu gazed into the rearview mirror until her figure disappeared.
"Roar, roar..."
The zombie in the passenger seat roared loudly at Xu Lu.
Xu Lu frowned. "Shut up."
If it weren't for the voice in her head constantly urging her on, she would have preferred to stay by her sister's side forever, never leaving.
Xu Qian, having finished her inspection, returned to the base. Xiang Jin Tian happened to be coming out to look for her and his expression immediately relaxed the moment he saw her.
"Qian Qian."
He thought she had left again.
It had been so hard to find her, how could he let her go.
Xu Qian's expression remained neutral, and she responded faintly.
Xiang Jin Tian's gaze deepened, and he said softly, "Qian Qian, we should have a good talk."
Xu Qian pressed her temples and spoke as she walked.
"Let's talk when we get back."
[Ding, system reminder, the mission target is the only reason you came to this world.]
Xu Qian's back stiffened. This mission was not suitable for her.
She easily became emotionally invested and couldn't possibly handle things without personal feelings.
Xiang Jin Tian sighed and stepped forward, taking her hand and interlocking their fingers.
Xu Qian felt the warmth in her palm and didn't pull away.
"Jin Tian, I need some time."
Xiang Jin Tian felt a knot in his chest and said in a deep voice, "Qian Qian, I thought I had explained it clearly enough."
Xu Qian lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes casting shadows on her eyelids.
"The first time you said it, I truly believed you. But what Feng Zi said, was it true or false?"
Xiang Jin Tian's face turned ashen, his chest heaving with anger.
"Qian Qian, there are no witnesses to confirm it. Didn't what she said later prove that her words were lies?"
Xiang Jin Tian's deep voice carried a hint of anger.
"I understand. It's just that the hurdle in my heart needs time to digest."
Her exceptionally beautiful face held a calm and serene expression, infuriating him without effort.
But what could he do? There were so many women in China, why did he have to fall for this one.
Xiang Jin Tian sighed.
"Qian Qian, I'll wait for you."
Back at the villa, Xu Qian sat on the edge of the bed for a long time. Only when her body felt completely stiff did she take out the few bottles with green caps given by Yu Yuan and drink them.
She wanted to regain her memories.
She really didn't want to be a strategist; she just wanted to live well.
After waiting for an afternoon and a night, there was still no reaction from her body.
Xu Qian walked out into the living room. It was desolate and cold, devoid of any human presence.
Xiang Jin Tian was very busy. After bringing her back, he had left again and hadn't returned until now.
Xu Qian's eyes flickered. Now was the perfect opportunity to give Mei Yue Bai the medicine!
She pulled open the curtains and looked out the window. She could vaguely see many guards outside Mei Yue Bai's house.
Xu Qian didn't hesitate. After going downstairs, she activated her invisibility device.
It would be too difficult to force her way in with her own abilities.
With the invisibility device, entering was effortless.
The house was large and empty, even more devoid of life than Xiang Jin Tian's.
