Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Heartbeat Goes Awry_1

Rolling her eyes, Xian Qian Ling said with a speechless face, "Do you really think we’re going on a picnic?"

"Isn’t it?"

She glanced at Zhao’er, then slowly turned her head. After that, Wu Qiyi covered her forehead with her hand, feeling quite speechless.

Because, when you turned to look over, your expression and Zhao’er’s were synchronously identical—the same look, same gaze, same slight tilt of the head, same dazed appearance.

"Little Ling, we need to get going."

At this moment, Hu Qing walked over. When she saw Zhao’er in the passenger seat, she was stunned for three seconds and blurted out, "What a beautiful person, just like one from a painting."

Xian Qian Ling turned to Hu Qing and sighed, "Sister, your words are like a dagger thrusting into my heart. It really hurts!"

Unamused, Hu Qing gave Xian Qian Ling a look and then chuckled, "You little girl, Sister is just telling the truth. Besides, one should not judge by appearances alone; what matters are the feelings."

"Forget it, I won’t speak anymore, suddenly I don’t feel so good. You drive, I’ll go rest in the back seat for a bit; I didn’t sleep well last night and need to catch up on some sleep."

"No one asked you to go. That’s Kuaiji’s territory, and you, as the captain of the Yuhang Criminal Police Squad, can’t even brush the border." You said with a pout.

Just as Xian Qian Ling was about to walk away, she suddenly spun around, tilting her head back, her posture prided and loudly said, "It’s my choice, my wish! Why can Zhao’er go and I can’t!?"

"Alright, as if I never said anything."

"Hmph!"

Seeing Xian Qian Ling turn away, Hu Qing approached your car window, slightly looking up, wearing a bittersweet smile, "My dear junior sister has always been stubborn since I knew her. Once she’s set her mind on something, no one can persuade her otherwise; she will not change until death."

Scratching your head, you sighed, "I understand that, but feelings can’t be forced."

Hu Qing also sighed, "I don’t have any other thoughts, I just hope that sometimes you can be a bit softer with her. Maybe to many people, she’s like a rose with thorns, and even encased in steel on the outside, incredibly tough; but in my eyes, she will always be that little girl with tearful eyes, looking at me with hope and asking how to become stronger. Everyone has a soft side, and Little Ling only shows hers to the most, most important people in her life."

After speaking, Hu Qing turned and walked briskly towards Xian Qian Ling.

With some frustration, you scratched your head and rolled up the car window.

After the convoy set off, you followed behind Xian Qian Ling’s car. The team comprised five vehicles in total, swiftly getting on the highway, heading toward Zhuji, located south of Yuhang.

After the car had been on the highway for a while, the silent Zhao’er suddenly turned to look at you.

Feeling Zhao’er’s gaze, you couldn’t help but turn and ask, "Zhao’er, what’s wrong?"

"Yun, your heartbeat has become irregular," she said.

Zhao’er’s words jolted you!

"This..."

No way?

You hurriedly extended your right hand to feel the heartbeat at your chest.

"No, there isn’t," you said, pretending to be calm, as you turned to Zhao’er.

Zhao’er blinked her clear eyes and said another phrase that made you jolt, "My heartbeat comes from you. If yours is irregular, mine will be too."

"What!!!"

Ye Xiao, driving at high speed on the highway, suddenly braked hard, veering the car from the fast lane to the slow lane, causing the three police cars closely following behind to also slam on their brakes, each breaking out in a cold sweat.

You slowed down the car, even releasing the accelerator, and gradually pulled the car over to the hard shoulder.

Zhang Zifeng soon called you.

Pressing the answer button on the steering wheel, you heard his anxious voice through the earpiece, "Mu Yun, what’s wrong with you?"

"I’m fine. You go ahead, and I’ll catch up in a bit," you responded.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, "Alright, then. Just be careful when you’re driving."

After Zhang Zifeng and the others had sped off, you turned on the hazard lights, pulled up the handbrake, and turned to look at Zhao’er.

"Yun, your heartbeat is irregular," Zhao’er remarked.

Zhao’er said another line.

"Zhao’er, did you just say that our heartbeats are synchronized?" you asked.

"Mmhm," Zhao’er nodded.

"And you said that your heartbeat comes from me, what does that mean?" you pursued further.

Zhao’er paused, blinking her still dull eyes, "When I woke up, my heartbeat was there, the same as yours."

Scratching your head, you rephrased your question, "Since our heartbeats are the same, then can you feel my emotions as well?"

After a moment’s thought, Zhao’er shook her head slightly, "Apart from your heartbeat, I don’t understand, I don’t know."

With a heavy sigh, you had hoped this could be a breakthrough in healing Zhao’er, but you ended up back where you started. Nonetheless, there was some gain; now you finally understood why you had a particular fondness for Zhao’er—it was because your hearts were already closely connected.

"Alright, let’s not think about it for now. Today, let’s go and see the splendor of the Thousand-Year Fragrant Torreya Tree Group."

Releasing the handbrake and shifting into overdrive, you pressed the accelerator. A powerful surge of acceleration hit you as the Ye Xiao pickup truck charged off the hard shoulder like a fierce beast.

It’s at most a forty-minute drive on the highway from Yuhang City to Zhuji. Since Woniu Village is some distance from the Zhuji urban area, none of you entered Zhuji City or visited the legendary Hall of Xishi, but continued on, driving off the highway after a few more minutes along a narrow cement road toward the depths of the mountains.

When you parked the car in a parking lot built amidst dense woods, you involuntarily glanced at the electronic watch on your left wrist—it was exactly ten o’clock.

As soon as you got out of the car, you couldn’t help but deeply inhale the mountain air.

With its dense trees, babbling streams, and the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, it was indeed a great place to relax and vacation.

It was then that Xian Qianling got out of the car, walked up to Zhao’er’s side, and spoke to you, "Why did you suddenly brake on the highway and then stop for a while? You weren’t taking advantage of Zhao’er, were you?"

"I..."

Before you could speak, Zhao’er naturally said to Xian Qianling, "Yun’s heartbeat was irregular."

"Hmm?"

Xian Qianling was taken aback, quickly turned her head to Zhao’er, and asked with a concerned look, "Zhao’er, what does it mean that your heartbeat was irregular? How did it become irregular?"

"Zhao’er!" Seeing Zhao’er about to speak, you hurriedly pulled her aside and whispered, "This is our little secret, we can’t tell her."

Zhao’er, with no concept of lowering her voice, replied in a volume that Xian Qianling could hear, "But Yun’s heartbeat was disturbed because of Qian Ling... Mmph."

Even though you covered Zhao’er’s seductive lips with your hand, she still let something slip.

You’re doomed!

What to do?
