Chapter 61: The Holiday Officially Ends

Feng Ming frowned, somewhat reluctant, and whispered, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. Don’t go playing matchmaker.”

“How am I playing matchmaker? Trust me, with my years of experience, those two absolutely have feelings for each other. Besides, hasn’t Auntie always been saying she wants a daughter-in-law? The only thing we’ve got going for us is our gender; nothing else fits. Haven’t you noticed? The captain likes Shi Yi!”

The shrill ring of a bell interrupted them.

He’d always thought that as someone with abilities, he’d naturally be above others within the base, making great contributions. But with that contract on Makima, even so, there was no way he could take her down with him.

Though the stench outside remained foul and putrid, it was still far cleaner compared to the corridor inside.

Chen Feng glanced at Yang Ba, who could no longer stand on his own, then called Bai E to leave the inn.

“Are you sure?” Xue Feng cradled Xia Qing’s head, gently moving her a little farther away from him.

These giant sand devourers looked every bit as ugly and ferocious as rumored, but their taste was surprisingly good—their meat succulent and sweet, with a crisp tenderness after being roasted.

Chen Dajin felt sweat gathering in his palms, and the legs that were usually so steady now trembled ever so slightly.

“Fan Ju? What’s wrong with you? This is a gift from Lord Sijun, a blessing that allows us to earn more merit! You should be happy!” Luo Qing chuckled.

Leng Ruobing and Chen Chen bathed together, while Li Bai connected a hose outside and washed off in the courtyard with cold water.

Perhaps that day vanished as quietly as it had come. With so many people in the world, how many simply disappear, unnoticed, into the shadows?

This kind of behavior was truly foolish, and that very foolishness was what Floran and Aaron Martin truly feared. They weren’t afraid of confessing—they were afraid of ending up like 007: an idiot.

There was no Apple company in this world, but the walnut-cracking Nokia remained as resilient as ever, dominating the global cell phone market just as it had in his previous life.

Though she had long known her child was like this, Luo Jinyan still felt helpless each time she faced such situations.

Thinking of this, Shi Qi just wanted to laugh—at her own stupidity, her own naivety, her own fate.

Zachariah couldn’t help but tighten his large hand around her slender waist, feeling the smooth, delicate sensation beneath his palm.

Su Yunjun checked the time, wondering where Chen Jingheng was by now, and whether he had received her letter.

With the aid of magic, Jorrel made rapid progress in the field of pharmacy. The family’s recipes and knowledge of herbs gradually became insufficient for his growing, curious, and unbridled thirst for knowledge, so it was no surprise that Jorrel moved into the field of alchemy.

Peter was a seasoned veteran in the mobile phone industry and had once held a high position, so he was far more adept at this than Wen Ming.

After Feng Ji left, although Chang Li’s expression remained unchanged, her hand hidden beneath her sleeve was clenched tightly, and a flash of hatred darted through her eyes.

All along, because of Ruo’er’s unique status and for her safety, he had never revealed a single word about her to anyone.

The weather had warmed. Liang Feicheng, dressed in a smoky gray suit, appeared even more refined than in pure black, though the cool aloofness he carried did not diminish in the slightest—if anything, it made him seem even less approachable.

He kept calling one of the deans, and through those calls, he witnessed for the first time Shen Zhili’s clear-headed and sharp-tongued brilliance.

At the Yu family’s old residence, Assistant Zou helped Yu Wenzhou out of the car and escorted him back to his room, where he lay down on the bed.

Pain could scatter one’s focus, and in that instant, even Liang Yi’s talent for disguise could not conceal her distress.
