Chapter 28 - Deliberate

Xiao Shi's pleading gaze turned to Cheng Jiu.

Even if you knew why, you couldn't tell Xin Gan, Xiao Shi kept his mouth shut.

It's just that group of people came to cause trouble. They wanted to burn them to death in the middle of the night. The person who dared to do such a thing must be no ordinary person and must have some background.

If the truth were to be revealed, it would probably cause Xin Gan's panic.

Xiao Shi is even more out of the question.

Cheng Jiu ignored Xiao Shi's gaze, started the engine and said, "It's just an ordinary fire. Don't think too much."

Xin Gan retorted, "Is it really just an ordinary fire?"

"Um." Cheng Jiu hummed in agreement and then made no further response.

However, Xin Gan still stuck to her own idea. She thought it wasn't that simple.

Last night she slept soundly. Had it not been for being woken up by Xiao Shi, she surely wouldn't have escaped that fire. But she didn't have the joy of surviving the disaster. Instead, she was very worried.

She knew that every year there would be chaos on North Island, big and small, and it was very dangerous.

Cheng Jiu's job was to be in such dangerous situations at all times and in all places, and that was his job responsibility.

The journey of the day was sweet and sour. Even though I took motion sickness medicine, I still felt a bit uncomfortable to some extent. I didn't say a word.

When they got off the bus halfway to rest and look for a place to have a meal, Xiao Shi secretly approached Cheng Jiu and whispered, "Brother Jiu, I think Miss Xin seems to have been scared."

Cheng Jiu said, "Isn't it motion sickness?"

Come on! Didn't you feel it?

What do you feel?

Xiao Shiyi gave you a look that made you deserve to be single, then sighed and said, "Brother Jiu, has anyone ever said that you deserve to be single?"

Cheng Jiu let out a sigh, "Is your skin itchy?"

Xiao Shi shut up in time.

Cheng Jiu took a cigarette and smoked. Unconsciously, she slowed down her pace. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Xin Gan slowly approaching behind her. She was indeed very uncomfortable. Her face was deathly pale, as if she were about to faint in the next second.

He never expected that Xin Gan was so physically weak. Since the day he arrived on Beiyu Island, he had been ill all the time, big and small, and now he was even carsick.

He asked Xiao Shi, "When I asked you to pick her up at the airport, she also got carsick?"

It seems so. Miss Xin's skin is too fair. I thought all the girls in Yongcheng had such fair skin. Now that I realize it's because I'm not feeling well that my face is so fair...

Cheng Jiu gave him a sharp glance.

Xiao Shi immediately patted the back of his head and chuckled foolishly.

Finding a place to have a meal, Cheng Jiu asked the boss for a bowl of dumpling soup and brought it to Xin Gan, saying, "Eat slowly. The sun will be out at noon. Rest here for two hours before setting off again."

Xiao Shi understood and chimed in, "OK, OK, Brother Jiu. I just wanted to go to the bathroom. Asongli, come with me to the bathroom after dinner."

Asonli: "..." Why do we need to use the restroom after having a meal?

Xin Gan eats in a gentle and refined manner. Due to her stomach discomfort, she eats much more slowly. Even when it comes to soups and broaches, she moves rather slowly.

Cheng Jiu also slowed down his eating pace, as if cooperating with her.

After yesterday's lesson, she still had to eat more than half of Xin Gan, even if she couldn't finish it. Afraid of being taught by Cheng Jiu to waste food, she was very reluctant to eat.

Asonli is even better than her. He doesn't get carsick and eats more than her.

Xiao Shi praised Asongli for being so amazing. Cheng Jiu glanced over and Asongli, feeling embarrassed, lowered her head.

Xiao Shi seemed to deliberately give Cheng Jiu some space. As soon as Asongli finished eating, he couldn't wait to take him to the bathroom. His actions were too deliberate, and Xin Gan had already noticed something.

She still had more than half a bowl left and couldn't eat any more. She put down her chopsticks and wanted to have a sip of water. Cheng Jiu across from her asked, "Are you full?"
