Chapter 1568 286:
The three of them sat on the ground and began eating.The woman took the meat from her lunchbox and gave it to Xue Liangliang.
Xue Liangliang: "You should eat too."
Woman: "I've had enough; it would be wasted if I couldn't finish it."
Xue Liangliang: "Come on, let me feed you. Don't look down on the boxed meal; the dishes are made by a local master chef."
Woman: "The food here is indeed delicious."
The two were mutually affectionate.
Li Zhiyuan silently ate his meal. The boy knew that the Bai Family's Lady certainly didn't need to eat.
However, the boy also understood that the two were now cherishing the experience of a normal couple's life.
After finishing the meal, Li Zhiyuan said to the woman:
"You should go back."
The escort task ended here, and it was time to conclude.
Although the woman felt reluctant, she quickly nodded in response without looking at Xue Liangliang:
"Okay."
Xue Liangliang swallowed hard, enduring without pleading or holding her back.
"I'll take the lunchboxes; you two chat."
The woman gathered the three lunchboxes, gave Xue Liangliang one last look, bowed to Li Zhiyuan again, then turned and left, her figure gradually vanished in the corridor, turning into void.
Li Zhiyuan: "Brother Liangliang, it would be dangerous for her to stay here."
Xue Liangliang nodded: "Xiao Yuan, I understand."
With the situation in Fengdu, Li Zhiyuan couldn't control it, leaving a pregnant woman here wouldn't be appropriate.
The two walked side by side, slowly heading towards the conference hall.
Xue Liangliang: "Xiao Yuan, be careful, if you need any help, just let me know."
Li Zhiyuan: "I will, Brother Liangliang."
Xue Liangliang: "These few days away are the happiest memories I've had in years."
Li Zhiyuan: "Treaties are meant to be broken after all."
Xue Liangliang immediately blushed.
Back then, he had stubbornly fought hard to reach a treaty limiting the time he could see the Bai Family's Lady, thinking it was to constrain her, but it turned out he was the one constrained.
Xue Liangliang: "I never thought of it before, but now I realize that thoughts at every age are really different."
Li Zhiyuan: "Do you think you have changed a lot?"
Xue Liangliang: "That's why it highlights the value of idealism—it is the only thing that doesn't fade and can illuminate every stage of your life."
The large conference room was filling up, with many people looking dirty as they just returned from field surveys.
Despite Luo Tingrui and Mr. Zhai being the most prestigious in the industry here, the discussions gradually heated up, plus most people were heavy smokers, the smoke was thick enough that outsiders might think a battle was going on.
It wasn't until three in the morning that the meeting ended, not only because many consensus were argued out, but also because people were exhausted; quite a few of the dirty ones were already snoring against the walls.
The guesthouse was next door to the unit, offering great views directly facing the Ghost City scenic area; a few more glances at it at night could provide plenty of material for nightmares.
Tan Wenbin was there vigorously rubbing his wrists; he really recorded from start to finish.
Lin Shuyou first drank all the water from the hot water bottle in his room, then ran to Li Zhiyuan and Tan Wenbin's room to continue refilling the water.
Tan Wenbin: "Ah You, are you that thirsty?"
Lin Shuyou: "Yes, I'm dying of thirst."
Tan Wenbin: "Haven't you been busy pouring tea all this time?"
Lin Shuyou: "I was so busy that I didn't have time to take a sip myself."
Tan Wenbin: "Haha, you're like those who dress finely without feeding their silkworms."
After drinking another large pitcher of tea, Lin Shuyou asked: "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
When Brother Xiao Yuan came to Fengdu last time, he wasn't in the team yet.
Tan Wenbin: "I can stay behind to keep watch."
Li Zhiyuan nodded: "Then let's go take a stroll on Ghost Street."
Lin Shuyou happily left the guesthouse with Li Zhiyuan.
At this point, Ghost Street was already quiet, but it was at this time that Ghost Street was most atmospheric.
During the busy and bustling day, the presence of the living was too strong; at night, the ghosts would come out and wander.
As they walked, Lin Shuyou curiously looked around: "Did Yin Meng ever live here?"
Li Zhiyuan stopped in front of a shop, its sign had been changed to a clothing store; it used to be Yin Meng's coffin shop.
When leaving Fengdu, Yin Meng sold the remaining coffins to neighbors at a discount and let go of the storefront lease.
At the time, Tan Wenbin advised that even if the shop was closed, it could stay for memory's sake; the rent wasn't expensive, after all, and this wasn't just a shop, it was also Yin Meng's home.
But Yin Meng was determined to let the lease go; whether she regretted it later is unknown, but she must have been eager to flee this place.
Just then, Lin Shuyou's face suddenly tensed.
He sensed that behind him, a shadow was approaching.
Ah You, who had just awoken after severe injury, was weak enough to not be able to defeat two Evil Ghosts, but once awakened, their partners' recovery speed would be fast.
Because the spirit beast in Tan Wenbin and the child in Lin Shuyou can accelerate the healing process once revived.
Plus, there was Zhao Yi, constantly pulling out the "last one," like magic.
Li Zhiyuan raised his hand, signaling Lin Shuyou not to act rashly.
Lin Shuyou suppressed his breath, without activating Shuping.
The shadow, wearing a bamboo hat and a rain cape, seemed empty inside.
It appeared curious, approached to examine Lin Shuyou and the boy, and then walked to the entrance of the shop.
"Creak..."
A panel of the door was removed from inside.
