When Ye Ning and Ma Jiao got off the boat, they saw a beautiful girl appearing in their sights. She had black hair, skin as fair as jade, and her eyes revealed gentleness, kindness and concern.
That girl was Ma Jiao's girlfriend Huang Liuyin, although Ma Jiao did not tell Huang Liuyin about his itinerary. However, Huang Liuyin still used her money skills to open up some connections, find out about today's largest military operation, and find the path of the ship.
Huang Liuyin was anxiously waiting for Ma Jiao's return at the dock. She stared expectantly at the direction of the ship and glanced around from time to time. She had waited from the afternoon until now, and finally, during the long wait, she finally caught a glimpse of Ma Jiao's familiar figure.
She stepped forward excitedly and ran to Ma Jiao with the breeze. She quickly passed through the bustling crowd and went straight to Ma Jiao. Her face was filled with joy and concern, and her eyes were shining with care and love.
When she ran to Ma Jiao, she couldn't help but open her arms and hug him tightly. This hug was so sincere and warm, as if it could convey all her emotions and thoughts. The two hugged each other tightly, sweet smiles blooming on their faces.
Huang Liuyin did not hide her care and love for Ma Jiao. She hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to turn all the longing and concern during this separation into the power of this hug. She said with a slight cry: "Why don't you leave and go with me?" Let me tell you, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to see me someday?"
At this moment, they seemed to be in an independent world, forgetting the crowds and noise around them, and they integrated each other's existence into each other's arms.
Ma Jiao hugged Huang Liuyin, kept her in his arms, and looked down at her slightly. The expression and eyes can be said to be full of mixed emotions, including longing, attachment, and love, but they are also mixed with reluctance, unwillingness, and even more sadness and helplessness.
It was obvious that Ma Jiao wanted to say a lot, but he could only talk casually and could not say a word. In the end, thousands of words could only be condensed into one sentence: "It's okay, am I not here?"
Ye Ning stood aside silently, her heart filled with unspeakable sadness. He watched Huang Liuyin chatting affectionately with Ma Jiao, as if their mutual world was completely intoxicated by this moment.
Ye Ning silently watched the scene where Ma Jiao and Huang Liuyin embraced. There was an indescribable sadness on the dock. He felt like he was forgotten outside this warm moment, standing alone in the silent background.
He had long been accustomed to living alone, but at this moment he felt that his loneliness was extremely profound. Every time he saw Ma Jiao's happy moments, he would lament why he couldn't have the same happiness. He had had an erotic dream, in which he and Yang Ling had many intimate actions. He also longed for this kind of thing to happen, but reality pushed him aside.
The scene in front of him seemed to mock his single status, and every detail hurt his soul like a knife. He tried hard to hold back his emotions, unable to control the sadness and helplessness that surged into his heart.
Ye Ning began to doubt all aspects of herself, self-doubt and self-blame intertwined. Maybe he wasn't good enough, maybe he couldn't find the right person for him, or maybe he was born unworthy of a romantic relationship. These thoughts lingered in his mind and were difficult to dissipate.
He tried to hide his sadness with a forced smile, but underneath the seemingly calm surface was a heart wrapped in emotion that was struggling painfully. He hoped to release these negative emotions, but he could only swallow his sadness silently.
In order to divert his attention, Ye Ning had to take out his mobile phone, where there was the contact information Yan Hanjun left for him. Ye Ning sent a message to Yan Hanjun: "I came back with the Burning Flower, Burning Sun Grass, Blazing Stone, Flame Vine, and Fire Dew, and then I went to find you?"
"No need, go ahead and wait for me in Quancheng. I've already approved it and I'll be back soon." Yan Hanjun responded to the message instantly. For him who is usually busy and has no free time, this is just waking up after staying up late for two days.
"Quancheng? Why do you want to go there?" Ye Ning continued to send messages asking.
"Each city has its own focus, and the medical conditions are not bad throughout. But the most important thing is that Quancheng has many herbal medicines." Yan Hanjun started his usual nonsense explanation again.
"Oh, I understand." Ye Ning replied first. After a while, Ye Ning continued to send a message and asked: "But, is it so easy for you to approve going to Quancheng? Others in the institute agree to your going? "
"I don't know, it seems like they won't refuse every time I talk. Maybe they prefer me." Yan Hanjun typed very quickly, and this time he replied almost instantly.
Although he had already thought of this answer, Yan Hanjun never thought that Ye Ning would ask such a question again. In his opinion, Yan Hanjun has been controlled by his mind, and he should not ask about Yan Hanjun's more abnormal behaviors.
However, looking at the message from Ye Ning, Yan Hanjun quickly reacted. Ye Ning probably found the herb that restrained mind control powers while taking herbal medicine on the Western Continent. After all, Yan Hanjun also wrote about this herb. Saw it on.
Yan Hanjun reacted instantly. Ye Ning had lost control of his thoughts and figured out some of the irrationality. He might have figured out the logic on the return ship and discovered that Yan Hanjun had some problems.
Yan Hanjun thinks very quickly, and he is known as a child prodigy. At this moment, he understood that he had to pretend to be a person in front of Ye Ning who was slightly stronger than ordinary people in physical fitness, had supernatural tendencies, and did not know that he was a supernatural person until he used mind control on Ye Ning again.
This is not difficult for Yan Hanjun. Yan Hanjun has done this many times. So, Yan Hanjun thought clearly in his mind, got up and set off, shouting: "Bai Tong, I'll be out for more than ten days, you stay here and help me!"
"Oh, okay!" Bai Tong responded quickly and obediently.
"Going to Quancheng?" Ye Ning silently thought about where he was going. He was planning to say goodbye to Ma Jiao and Huang Liuyin before setting off on the road to Quancheng by car. During these days, Ye Ning has become accustomed to being at home all over the world. The world is so big, you can live wherever you go. Anyway, the funds Yan Hanjun left in his mobile phone were enough for him to live a normal life in a short period of time.
But who would have known that Ma Jiao had already noticed the lonely Ye Ning blowing in the wind. Ma Jiao patted Huang Liuyin's back, broke away from Huang Liuyin's arms, turned to look at Ye Ning, and asked slowly: "Ye Ning, I will follow her to Quancheng later? What are you going to do?"
This is very interesting. Ma Jiao has been training with Wu Yu. But at this time, he said that he was going to Quancheng. Firstly, he obviously did not notify Wu Yu, and secondly, he did not intend to notify Wu Yu afterwards. He looked like he was going to elope with his girlfriend.
But Ma Jiao's eyes looking at Ye Ning were a little blurry, with a slightly complicated emotion, but the single most simple emotion among them was reluctance and helplessness, and it also had the feeling of a dying person looking at his loved ones before leaving. .
Ye Ning was frightened by Ma Jiao's eyes, and even more so. However, he still replied slowly: "I also want to go to Quancheng, so we are on the way."
"Well, okay, along the way." Ma Jiao's eyes and expression could be seen with the naked eye at this moment, changing from sadness and helplessness to a little excitement, but not much.
Huang Liuyin was a little disgusted, but fortunately it was only a little smooth. Ye Ning's existence will not affect his intimacy with Ma Jiao, and it will only affect it for a short while.
Ma Jiao looked at Ye Ning and waved his hand, indicating that they should set off together. His lips only moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Under Ma Jiao's greeting, they embarked on the journey together, took a taxi and quickly arrived at the high-speed rail station. After buying a ticket, they quickly set off on the high-speed rail.
Along the way, there were not many words. Because Huang Liuyin looked at Ye Ning, she was too embarrassed to say anything to Ma Jiao. Ma Jiao looked at Ye Ning and just moved his mouth, as if he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Ye Ning wanted to say something. He wanted to ask Ma Jiaohai about the octopus, but Huang Liuyin was at the side, and Ye Ning's instinct told him not to ask.
Huang Liuyin occasionally behaved a little intimately with Ma Jiao, which was not very leisurely. But Ye Ning was so bored that he couldn't do anything. He could only silently think about some things about Ma Jiao.
"By the way, Ma Jiao. Don't you need to tell Commander Wu Yu before you leave?" Ye Ning suddenly remembered something. After all, Ma Jiao was taken away by Wu Yu and personally selected and trained. If something goes wrong, the problem will be huge. No matter what, Wu Yu should at least be notified.
Ma Jiao said, "I'm taking a month off to spend some time with my girlfriend. After all, monsters are besieging Night City, and I can't help much if I go there. And Commander Wu Yu must go."
Ye Ning nodded after hearing this. Ma Jiao said nothing more. But Ma Jiao's eyes had betrayed him. Ye Ning could tell that Ma Jiao was lying. Ye Ning had learned from Yan Hanjun the basic method of detecting lies through facial expressions. At least for now, Ma Jiao had clearly revealed that he was lying.
Why lie about such a big deal? Ye Ning really didn't understand Ma Jiao's thinking. However, since there was a small chance that the thought control power was possessed by Ma Jiao, Ye Ning did not dare to ask more questions, which aroused Ma Jiao's doubts.
We are friends, we are good brothers. In the same car, in face-to-face communication, no one is willing to tell the truth. Barriers filled the workshop. Such good friends could only look at each other and dare not say a word in response.
Under this silent atmosphere, the high-speed train slowly drove to Quancheng.
