Chapter 146 Jade Bracelet
After Chi Heng came out of the conference room and met up with Qi Xian, the two went straight downstairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, they were not surprised to see Sang Yu waiting there.
"Ah... Brother Chi Heng~ You're out."
Upon seeing Chi Heng, she ran happily towards him, blocking his path.
Chi Heng glanced at her indifferently, then turned and walked past her naturally.
He casually added, "If you come any closer next time, I might kill you."
Undeterred, Sang Yu jogged to catch up, trying to squeeze past Qi Xian who was next to Chi Heng.
She pouted and said in a coquettish tone, "Why are you still so hard to talk to? Don't you know no one will like you like this? Only I can put up with you!"
"No need, stay away from me."
The wind-elemental spiritual energy surged forth.
Before Sang Yu could react, she had already fallen against the wall at the very edge of the hall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"If there's a next time, I really will kill you."
As soon as Chi Heng finished speaking, he opened the door and drove away into the howling cold wind.
Sang Yu's once clear and bright eyes turned dark in an instant, and her innocent appearance was gone forever.
He then adopted a shrewd and profound expression.
"Hmph! What are you pretending for! If I can't win you over, I'm not Sang Yu!"
......
Outside the Kyoto base, a white heavy-duty RV was parked.
That was the place where Yu Yao and the others were temporarily staying.
However, Dongfang Jin and Qi Xian went to clear out the ice-type zombies hidden in the snow and ice in the surrounding area.
Although they have parked their cars here, they are not planning to drive, nor are they allowed to drive.
The snowstorm is too severe now, and most of the roads have been buried by snow, which in addition to obstructing visibility.
The trip to northern Shanxi was mostly done on foot.
They parked a car here simply to keep warm.
The two were watching a TV series on the sofa with the heater on, engrossed in their show, when they suddenly looked at each other.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the RV door.
It was Lin Fengmu, dressed in a long black winter coat and black leather boots.
Upon seeing Yu Yao, whom he hadn't seen for many days, Lin Fengmu's auspicious phoenix eyes were filled with smiles.
"Little Fish, how have you been lately?"
As Yu Yao welcomed him in, she said, "I'm fine, how about you, Brother Feng Mu?"
"not too good."
"Ok?"
"But things are fine now."
"..."
Yu Yao was unmoved by such ambiguous words.
She calmly ushered Lin Fengmu to the sofa, then asked, "You've come here...?"
"Can't I even come to see you?"
"can."
Lin Fengmu chuckled lightly. After getting into the car, he came to Yu Yao's side, casually took Yu Yao's hand, and slipped a warm white jade bracelet onto her wrist.
The jade bracelet was warm and smooth all over, radiating a faint warmth, which made the snow-white wrist look even more delicate and lustrous.
Yu Yao subconsciously tried to pull her hand away to take off the bracelet, but Lin Fengmu gently stopped her.
He looked at her with a slightly aggrieved expression.
"You don't want my things that much? It's okay if you don't want them, it wasn't a gift from me."
"Who sent it?"
“It’s your Aunt Meng. She learned that you were also going to northern Shanxi, so she specially took out this warm jade bracelet and asked me to give it to you.”
Yu Yao paused for a moment when Aunt Meng was mentioned.
"Aunt Meng?"
"Yes, this is Ms. Meng's kind gesture. You can't refuse, or she'll cry."
This warm jade bracelet is truly magical; it feels warm and smooth on the wrist, radiating a gentle warmth.
Yu Yao felt her whole body getting hot after wearing it for less than a minute.
Yu Yao gently shook her head, "This bracelet is too valuable!"
"It's just an inanimate object; it can never compare to a living person. Wear it carefully, and you'll suffer less on this trip."
Yu Yao said, "I have a talisman to ward off the cold, so I won't suffer."
"I know your cold-proof talisman can only be used once a day, and each talisman cannot be used for more than ten hours. What about the rest of the time?"
"That's not OK!"
"Don't refuse anymore, or I'll get scolded when I get home."
Yu Yao's mind went blank for a moment, but she still shook her head and resolutely took the bracelet off.
“Brother Feng Mu, giving a girl a bracelet is a very ambiguous thing. I don’t think we’ve reached that point yet.”
They refused, a blatant refusal.
Lin Fengmu's eyes trembled slightly, and after a long while, he suddenly gave a bitter laugh.
"Okay, then I won't make things difficult for you." Lin Fengmu replied, then immediately changed the subject.
He took out a thermos from his storage space.
"There's freshly made brown sugar ginger milk inside, would you like to try some?"
Yu Yao's eyebrows twitched, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Did Aunt Meng make it too?"
In the past, whenever it got cold, if the original owner came home late and caught a chill, Aunt Meng would make her all sorts of warm drinks.
Her favorite is this brown sugar ginger milk, and she can drink two big cups of it every time.
Before Yu Yao became disabled in her previous life, she also loved to make this drink for herself in winter or during her menstrual period.
So when Yu Yao heard the words "brown sugar ginger milk", she instantly became happy.
Lin Fengmu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "...Yes, that's right."
"Please thank Aunt Meng for me. Next time I come to the base, I will definitely go see her as soon as possible."
"Do you keep your word?"
"of course."
"Then we'll wait for you to come."
"Ok!"
......
When Chi Heng and the others returned, Lin Fengmu had already left to prepare for their departure.
Jiang Yi noticed the extra thermos on the coffee table and asked curiously, "Is it yours?"
Luo Mei glanced at Yu Yao: "The neighbor's brother brought it to A Yao."
Upon hearing this, Chi Heng, who was taking off his coat, paused slightly.
Turning to look at Yu Yao, he noticed a jade bracelet quietly placed on the table in front of her.
"Was it also given to you by him?"
He asked the question as if it were casual.
Yu Yao glanced down at it and nodded.
That's strange. How come she didn't notice when Lin Fengmu left it behind?
"It was given to me by Aunt Meng. She said it would keep me warm."
Dongfang Jin laughed and said, "This bracelet is no ordinary item; it's quite a grand piece."
Yu Yao's long eyelashes twitched.
"Really? Then I'll find a chance to return it."
Chi Heng's expression shifted slightly, but he still said, "Since it's for warming up, just wear it. We can talk about it when we get back."
Yu Yao put the bracelet back into her backpack and casually said, "I'd better not use it. It would be troublesome if it broke."
Chi Heng thought for a moment, hung up his coat, and strode to the driver's seat.
The others chatted and watched movies in the car, waiting for the main group to come out.
