Chapter 3060  : Picking the stars

In a restaurant in the town, the delicious food on the table was almost finished. She suddenly recalled that the man called Ling Feng was right. Although this was a small town, the people here were simple, the food was delicious, and the scenery was beautiful. There was nothing to be picky about.

The two enjoyed the unique after-meal snacks here. This seemingly warm and harmonious scene was actually a little restless.

Coincidentally, her phone rang at this moment. Seeing that it was an unknown number, she guessed that it was from a car repair shop. However, when the man looked at the screen suspiciously, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes.

“Hello, how are you?” The moment she answered the call, the man also picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took another big sip, as if he wanted to use the cooling effect of the tea to extinguish the fire in his heart.

“Hello, are you miss PEI GE? Your car has been repaired, you can come and get it. ” As expected, the call was from the repair shop.

“Really? I didn’t expect it to be so fast. That’s great, let’s go now!” Overjoyed, she quickly hung up the call.

She then happily told him,””Ziming, the car’s fixed. You should be done eating, right? let’s hurry over to get the car.”

Seeing that she was about to get up with her coat and bag, the man put down his teacup and asked without the slightest hint of nervousness,””Pei Pei, don’t be anxious. I want to ask you if you plan to continue going into the mountains after fixing the car?”

She nodded her head in a matter-of-fact manner.””Yes, that’s natural. Are you not coming with me?”

She did not understand. Since he had already reached the small town and found her, wasn’t he worried about her safety and wanted to follow her into the mountains?

“No, it’s too dangerous. You can either stay in the town and wait for me, or I’ll get someone to pick you up.” The man was in his domineering mode again.

Of course, she was not willing to do so. The reason she had secretly come from A city to look for Cheng Ningyuan was because the man did not want her to be involved in this matter. Now that he was already here, why did he still try to stop her? at that moment, a wave of stubbornness surged in the depths of her heart.

The coat and bag in her hands fell to the ground as her hands drooped. She righteously replied,”‘Ziming, you should know my personality. Besides, I’ve told you everything about that man and the car breakdown, so why do you still refuse to believe me? I know that because of Shen Feng, you’ve always held a grudge against me, but you’ve been overprotective of me, and I’ve been feeling very depressed. Can you also give me some personal space?”

Ji Ziming also got up and walked toward her. Holding her hand, he pleaded,””I didn’t … Pei Pei, I just …” Feeling that it would be a waste of time to explain, he paused before continuing,””Do I really have to go?”

She did not say anything and merely looked at him with determination in her eyes.

“Well, I’ll go with you to get the car later, and then we’ll go into the mountains together. But it’s almost twoo’ clock in the afternoon. If we can’t get into the village, we’ll probably have to spend the rest of our days in the wilderness. There’s no signal in the mountains, and the people I arranged before can’t be contacted for the time being. I don’t know if I’ve missed the chance to meet them. I was supposed to wait for them to return to town and have a signal before reporting the situation to me. ” The man relented and let go of her hand.

She was already satisfied that the man would allow her to enter the mountain to look for Cheng Ningyuan personally, so she immediately softened her tone.””Ziming, when we really find Ning Yuan and his mother, you’ll understand why I have to come here personally. However, I still have to thank you for your support and understanding. It’s fine. Even if we sleep in the wilderness, even if we can’t get any news from your Scouts, I’m still confident that we can find them. Alright, I’ll go pay the bill, then we’ll go get the car together. The earlier we leave, the better. ”

Seeing this, he grabbed her hand and ordered,””Alright, I’ll pay the bill. Wait for me outside.”

She knew that he had let go of his worries, so she nodded with a sweet smile.

Sighing without a change in his expression, he walked straight to the cashier.

“Well, the people here are indeed simple and honest. We ordered so many dishes, but the two of us didn’t even get 200 yuan!” Since the restaurant was not far from the repair shop, the two decided to walk there.

In order to reduce the awkwardness, she affectionately linked arms with him and told him about the small restaurant they had just eaten at, expressing her love for it.

“It’s alright, but the dishes are quite flavorful. If you like it, we can come here often to eat. ” Ji Ziming was still worried about entering the mountains. When she mentioned the simple and honest folk customs, he, for some reason, was reminded of what the man called Ling Feng had said about them being helpful and honest. Therefore, he still felt that it was a little harsh.

“Alright, I’m just saying. You’re taking it seriously again. If this continues, I think if I want the stars in the sky, you’ll have to get someone to pluck them for me!” Her bright smile was reflected in his deep eyes.

The man took her words seriously and stopped in his tracks. He looked into her eyes affectionately and said,””It’s not that you can ‘t, as long as you want it. I know, there was a piece of news before that you can buy the next planet that astronomers are about to discover and name it after you. This is the same as picking a star for you!”

She covered her mouth and laughed at his serious look.”Aiyo! Ziming, you’re really cute!”

“What’s wrong? You don’t believe I can do it?” Seeing how she looked down on him, the man became even more serious.

“No, Ziming. Don’t tell me you really believe this?” She stopped laughing and blinked her big, bright eyes at him.

“What’s wrong? Isn’t that the case?” Ji Ziming was suspicious. He clearly remembered hearing this news when he passed by the office’s pantry where the young ladies were gossiping.

“Haha, those are just scenes from idol dramas and romance novels to deceive little girls. You even believed that?” She laughed again.

Seeing his face turn red, she knew that he had been deceived by someone and continued,””Actually, those certificates were all photoshopped. The country didn’t even allow it. No, not to mention the country, even the international community didn’t allow it. Private people can buy a Planet and name it. This is nonsense in the astronomy and physics World, okay?”

The man felt a little embarrassed when he saw her confessing to him like an idiot, but his pride did not allow him to be looked down upon, so he stubbornly said,””I don’t care. Even if there are no stars in the sky for you, I’ll still put one in the planetarium! You’re my woman, so I’ll find what you want even if I have to risk my life!”

“Good, good, good! Ji Ziming, I believe that you’ll find what I want. But now, I just want to find my brother. Can you help me solve this problem first? Let’s get the car quickly, or we’ll really have to spend the night in the mountains! I don’t want to be taken away by a Wolf!” She held his hand like she was coaxing a child and continued walking toward the repair shop.

“You stand right there! Cheng Ningyuan!” However, she had only taken a few steps when she heard Wen Xin’s familiar voice from the crowd not far away.

“It’s Wenxin’s voice!” She immediately let go of his hand and subconsciously peeked her head forward. However, there were simply too many people on the street, so when she took a closer look, the sound seemed to have disappeared into the ocean.

“Yes, I heard it too! Don’t worry, Pei Pei, let’s look in that direction first. We both heard it, so it can’t be wrong!” Seeing that she was starting to get nervous, he held her hand and followed her in the direction of the sound, afraid that he would lose her in the crowd again.
