Chapter 1240 - 741: Anger
It was already past three in the morning when the group returned to the mine. The car stopped outside the Cultural Troupe, and Luo Ye and Liu Yulong, along with their sister Liu Yumei, waved their hands and entered the yard.
"Luoluo, where did you go?" Before reaching the dormitory door, Zhao Qianqian rushed out as soon as she heard the car, sounding worried as she spoke.
"Let’s talk inside..." Luo Ye nudged her to go in.
Closing the door, Zhao Qianqian looked eagerly at Luo Ye, her eyes scanning her up and down.
"I’m fine, don’t worry..." Luo Ye began recounting the night’s events to Zhao Qianqian in detail.
"I really misjudged before, always thinking Sister Liu was just profit-seeking. Didn’t expect her to be so sentimental at a critical time," Zhao Qianqian said, moved by the story.
"Tonight, their siblings made me doubt my ability to read people for the first time, so I made them a promise: any time they encounter difficulties, I’ll help them."
Hearing such a promise, Zhao Qianqian’s face turned serious: "Luoluo, do you understand what it means to give them such a promise?"
"Of course," Luo Ye nodded, "They’re worth it."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Qianqian sighed lightly: "Yes, indeed. By this age, a person’s nature rarely changes. However, they don’t yet know what your promise truly signifies."
Continuing on this topic seemed pretentious, so Luo Ye turned to the mini-fridge to retrieve ice cubes: "You better not sleep yet, use some ice to reduce the swelling. Look at how puffy your eyes have become."
"No matter what, Grandma is always my closest kin, even my mom can’t compare... " Zhao Qianqian choked up, "Even Mom can’t compare to Grandma."
Luo Ye snorted derisively: "Come on, what kind of grown-up still cries like this? If your Grandma saw you, she’d surely laugh at you."
"You’re utterly unsympathetic," Zhao Qianqian muttered through tears while glaring at her, "With all your beloved relatives, you can’t possibly understand my feelings."
Luo Ye glared at her: "How are you going to face people tomorrow?"
Zhao Qianqian hurriedly wiped her tears and grabbed an ice cube to press against her eyes, inhaling sharply from the cold, her speech becoming incoherent: "Luoluo, just wait, there’ll be a time when I laugh at you too."
"Alright, I’ll be waiting. You take your time with the ice, I need to rest for a while." Luo Ye said as she took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed. Zhao Qianqian pouted, looking like she was about to cry again, "So heartless, knowing today’s Grandma’s memorial, knowing I’m sad, you not only don’t comfort me but laugh at me, and you leave me all alone to endure the long night..."
"What more do you want?" Luo Ye blinked her big eyes, "Do you want me to cry with you for you to be satisfied?"
"Luoluo, you’re so deceptive. If Daoter saw your current look, he’d be embarrassed to death." Zhao Qianqian clicked her tongue, "You’re the classic baby-faced killer."
"You’re too kind!" Luo Ye glanced at the time, "The operation should be over. No matter the era, there are always traitors selling out their country for personal gain. For them, no trial is needed, just shoot them."
"Luoluo, why didn’t you sneak out a vial of the youth drug?" Zhao Qianqian clicked her tongue regretfully, "Such a good chance, missing it is truly a shame!"
"Why, you want a shot?" Luo Ye squinted at her, "Aren’t you afraid that if your skin tightens too much, it’ll tear your face?"
"Do you think I’m a child? Tearing my face? If it worked like that, Daoter’s face would be as tough as iron.
I might not need it now, but in another three to five years, I very well might. Sigh, Luoluo, sneak a few vials for future use." Zhao Qianqian mimicked hitting her feet and chest in regret, causing ice cubes to clatter to the floor.
"If you really want to steal, there’s still a chance. The confiscated vials are temporarily stored at the Yuanzhou garrison. Their Camp Commander Shao used to be my instructor; he’s in charge of this. We could sort it out; it shouldn’t be a problem." Luo Ye said earnestly.
"Hmph," Zhao Qianqian scoffed. "You know it’s impossible but still tease me, am I that unreliable?"
"Seriously though, any drug developed by Western Medicine like this is bound to have side effects, so stop thinking about it. When you really need it, it will be available."
