The job of driver naturally fell to him, the only male among them.
Since the streets behind the shopping mall are not major thoroughfares with heavy traffic, and the surge in traffic occurred on a weekday, there were no obstacles on the streets.
The girls gradually relaxed and started chatting in the back, eating snacks and giggling from time to time.
This doesn't feel like migrating in a post-apocalyptic world; it's more like going to a hot spring inn for a group stay.
Finally, Nie Qingyun, who had been doing all the hard work at the front, felt that something was off, so he kicked a few of the girls off the wheel to guard the surroundings and collect the [Primordial Crystal] left near the corpses.
The group walked slowly for more than an hour until it got dark, when they finally saw the high-tech complex of buildings in the comprehensive teaching area at the end of the street.
After passing more than a dozen buildings along the main road of the school district, the magnificent main entrance of the comprehensive building is just over 100 meters away.
Somewhat surprisingly, there were quite a few people standing at the entrance.
But Nie Qingyun still spotted that familiar figure at a glance.
The same applies to Cheng Yuqiu.
Every second before their reunion was unbearable. Although Qin Hehuan had promised to save Nie Qingyun and had given him definite information, she couldn't feel at ease until she saw him in person.
The girl clenched her fists tightly, feeling her heartbeat gradually quickening.
This indescribable feeling was even more exciting than when I participated in my coming-of-age ceremony.
“Nie Qingyun…”
Seeing the silhouette slowly emerging from the sunset, she could no longer stand still. She immediately darted past Qin Hehuan and ran forward quickly.
"Wait a moment!"
Saotome stretched her hand out in mid-air, but Qin Hehuan interrupted her.
"Let her go. We've done what we needed to do."
It wasn't until she was almost halfway there, and could finally see Nie Qingyun's handsome and aloof face, that the princess suddenly realized she shouldn't be too eager at this moment, since she had been harboring a lot of resentment lately.
But her coy and hesitant demeanor had already betrayed her.
As Nie Qingyun watched the girl running towards him, his gaze softened unconsciously.
The young lady's outfit was clearly carefully chosen.
The high-waisted, bodycon shorts made her legs look exceptionally long, and she wore black lace-up over-the-ankle riding boots. Her upper body was covered by an off-the-shoulder silk butterfly top, and the metal chain extending from the small shoulder bag was exquisitely crafted and intricate, complementing her sexy collarbone. As she walked, her golden twin ponytails swayed gently.
From a distance, she looks like a K-pop female celebrity gracefully stepping off the screen.
She was more beautiful than anyone Nie Qingyun had ever seen.
It is as dazzling as a diamond, and its mere appearance seems to brighten the sky.
Nie Qingyun had thought that after being exposed to Bai Ye Linyin, he would have some resistance to the young lady.
But the girl in front of them was far too outrageous; her name was like a terrifying curse.
Reciting it once will make people feel hot and cold for five thousand years.
It wasn't until Cheng Yuqiu walked up to him that Nie Qingyun came to his senses, slowly raised his hand, and carefully stroked the girl's cheek with the back of his fingers.
Cheng Yuqiu had already planned what she would say to Nie Qingyun as if she were reciting a script.
But the moment she felt the warmth of the other person on her cheek, the emotions that had been building up inside her finally burst forth.
"You bad guy!!!"
She screamed, shoved the other person's hand away, and then raised her arm and slammed it down towards Nie Qingyun's chest.
"Why did you abandon me again?!"
"Do you really think I'm that weak and frail?!"
"At least……"
The girl's strength waned, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"At least... let me share some of the burden with you..."
"Damn guards!"
"stupid stupid stupid!"
"I'm back safe and sound, aren't I?" Nie Qingyun's tone softened, and he tried to grab the girl's hand, but she twisted it away.
“No way! It’s clearly my cousin…” Cheng Yuqiu paused here.
This matter cannot be discussed, not even by Nie Qingyun, because it was the premise for Qin Hehuan to help her in the first place.
So Cheng Yuqiu could only forcefully swallow back the words that were about to come out, and changed her voice to say:
"Do you think I can live a carefree life just because you've sent me away...?"
"You, you stupid guard, you don't understand anything at all..."
Nie Qingyun understood perfectly well; he knew exactly what kind of awareness this young lady possessed.
The holy contract that could command holy light magic was formed from her will.
Nie Qingyun never doubted the young lady's courage to face everything with him.
He just...
They were just too afraid of losing each other.
He had never experienced such genuine feelings in his entire life.
Once you possess it, you will hold onto it tightly, even at the cost of your life.
Driven by this subconscious protective instinct, he would rather die a hundred or a thousand times than let the other person suffer even the slightest harm.
At this moment, Nie Qingyun seemed to realize something: this excessive protection could also hurt the other party.
Without offering any further words of comfort, the next second, Nie Qingyun tightly embraced the girl in front of him.
He prefers to make amends with concrete actions in the future rather than making cheap promises.
"Let go, let go of me!" Cheng Yuqiu was suddenly hugged, and her heart skipped a beat.
The warmth of the other person's chest instantly brought back that long-lost sense of security to her.
But she was still somewhat unwilling to compromise like this.
"I don't want you to hug me!"
The girl said this without showing any sign of struggling.
The next second, she was dragged up.
Nie Qingyun wrapped his arms around her hips, making his upper body taller than hers.
To avoid losing her balance, she could only reach out and wrap her arms around the other person's neck.
Their chests were pressed tightly against each other's shoulders, and with a slight tilt of their heads, their noses touched.
This posture is far too intimate.
The girl immediately blushed and panicked.
"Your Highness, you've lost some weight."
Nie Qingyun raised his head and stared intently into those jewel-like pupils.
"So, who do you think is to blame for this?!"
Cheng Yuqiu wanted to say a few more words, but Nie Qingyun suddenly stopped talking and just kept staring at her.
Their breaths created ripples in the atmosphere.
The original grievances seemed to completely dissipate in that instant, leaving only a kind of inexplicable impulse.
This scene reminded her of the first time the two of them were alone in the storage room.
At that time, she was still Nie Qingyun's "reward".
It was at that time that Nie Qingyun told her not to give up hope.
Who could have imagined that they would ultimately become a knight and princess at the end of their road?
A moment later, the girl slowly closed her eyes again.
The same scene, the same people, but this time Nie Qingyun didn't make any jokes. Instead, he looked up and kissed her.
The girl's cool lips were like dew on a flower under the moon; a single taste would leave one longing for more.
The wonderful touch made Nie Qingyun feel somewhat unreal.
He never imagined that one day he would be holding the daughter of the Director of Security like this.
Now, this nationally popular school idol, the dream girl of every man, is in his arms, asking for a kiss in a clumsy but proactive way.
It seems there's nothing in the world more beautiful than this.
For the first time in his life, Nie Qingyun wanted to offer his blessings to this beautiful world.
May there always be such kind and lovely people among humanity.
"cough!!!"
The sudden, fake cough startled the two people who were embracing.
Cheng Yuqiu was still hesitating whether to stick out her tongue, but the sound startled her so much that she raised her head.
It's obvious who would cause trouble at a time like this.
Beside her, Bai Yelin lowered her hand and stood with Yuwen Chaolu and the others, staring intently at Nie Qingyun and the other two.
The girls' gazes were solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
that's the truth.
They had considered that the "very important person" Nie Qingyun mentioned might very well be his girlfriend.
But who would have thought that this person would be Cheng Yuqiu!
That's so unfair!
Trying to snatch a man from someone else is extremely difficult.
Big crisis!
The girls exchanged glances and then all looked at Cheng Yuqiu.
It's time to unite!
A decisive strike is needed, without delay!
Chapter 187: A Tea Ceremony Showdown in a Battlefield (2.8k)
Since Nie Qingyun returned, Cheng Yuqiu's eyes have only been on him, and she only noticed the others now.
Suddenly, being stared at by so many eyes made her cheeks feel hot, so she quickly jumped down from the other person's embrace.
Seeing this, Bai Yelinyin naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, and immediately moved closer to Nie Qingyun.
During the process, it seemed that because he was walking too fast, he tripped over something and suddenly lost his balance.
Nie Qingyun was still thinking about how to introduce Yuwen Chaolu and the others to the young lady when he saw Bai Yelinyin about to fall, so he subconsciously reached out to support her.
A mischievous smug glint appeared in the latter's eyes, and he promptly grabbed Nie Qingyun's arm.
Bai Yelin knew Nie Qingyun's personality. He had always been gentle with the girls around him and would never change his mind because of a few words from others. So, forcing him to make a choice right away was no different from pushing him away.
At this point, it is best to retreat in order to advance and consolidate one's position first.
So he pretended not to see Cheng Yuqiu and thanked her very kindly, deliberately not using honorifics.
Then he pointed to the supplies loaded on the tricycle behind him and asked:
"Brother Qingyun, where should we put all these things next?"
Cheng Yuqiu also came to her senses at this moment, and her gaze instantly fell on Nie Qingyun's arm that was being held, and her expression immediately became somewhat unhappy.
Looking around, he found himself surrounded by girls, and all of them were very pretty. For some reason, a sense of crisis suddenly welled up inside him.
He immediately asked in a trembling voice:
"Nie Qingyun, who are they?"
Before Nie Qingyun could speak, Bai Yelinyin took the initiative to explain:
