Chapter 217: 217. New Neighbor Below

After all, the number of people with trucks were not many.

Mark listened and his face darkened. Lucy and the others were also not very good. Their mission has only been mentioned last night but someone was already plotting against Dylan.

"It might not be related to you, but I guess we should be careful tomorrow," Dylan said. "The truck is currently undergoing inspection right now and when we’re about to leave tomorrow, it’s better to inspect it again to be safe."

Mark nodded. "Yeah. I didn’t expect that you’re also quite popular to be targeted now."

"Don’t say it, haven’t it always been like this?" Dylan replied helplessly.

His position was not exactly something that many people liked. Because of his grandfather and uncle were in important position, some people were targeting him when he was young.

But it was more limited back then and no one was so stupid to resort to violence directly.

However, the tricks were numerous.

Dylan could still remember those things very clearly.

He had faced so many things ever since he was young and knew that it wouldn’t be so easy to deal with.

Lucy was looking at Anna behind Dylan and her eyes landed on the hands of the two. There was a faint smirk on her expression and she didn’t bother to step forward to greet Anna personally.

Their attention was on Dylan before.

But she always looked at Anna first.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

These two were secretly sweet?

Did Dylan finally manage to achieve great progress?

Lucy was curious, but she felt that this place was not suitable to ask. They still have some things to do later.

"I’ll go back now and prepare for tomorrow." Dylan nodded at the other two members of Mark’s team.

Anna followed behind Dylan, not talking much. Looking at the posture of those four, they were about to continue their practice soon, so it was not suitable for them to stay for a long time.

"There are a lot of things that happened?" Anna asked quietly.

"Don’t pay much attention to it," Dylan said. "The most important thing now is to survive, but some people are just greedy by nature and like to conspire."

"Uh."

Anna nodded quietly.

She was not that unfamiliar with conspiracy because her mother had told her a few things. But if she had to say, it was indeed not very good.

"Uhm..."

"Yeah?"

"Can you release my hand?" Anna asked slowly.

Because she was thinking a lot when meeting with Uncle Darien, Dylan held her hand. And after that, Anna didn’t pay close attention. But just now, Lucy’s eyes landed on her hand again and again.

Anna suddenly realized that Dylan was still holding her hand so tightly.

*cough*

She forgot.

Dylan looked at their hands that was still connected and unwillingly released Anna’s hand. "Yes, sorry."

He was thinking that Anna’s hand was really soft. At the beginning, he was only trying to console her because he felt that her state was not right when the matter of the space was mentioned.

He had some guesses about Anna’s secret, but he didn’t’ want to force her to speak up. So he hoped that she would be able to calm down.

Later on, he just wanted to hold her hand.

It felt really soft....

Ah...

Unfortunately, he still couldn’t hold her hand so openly. Should he confess right now and make their relationship right? This way, he could hold hand, and... many others that children shouldn’t see.

"It’s fine," Anna said and rubbed her hand. Dylan’s hand was much bigger than her and felt really warm. The skin was not as soft as her and rather rough. Plus, Dylan often train with Mark in the past, so it was naturally not as soft as her.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at her hand.

Her expression looked a bit lost.

Dylan peeked at Anna’s direction but didn’t say anything else.

In this way, the two of them silently made their way back to their apartment. And at this time, there were more people who came out from a car and busy moving things. It seemed that someone rented the apartment on the fifth floor.

Two men came out from the apartment, still busy moving their belongings. One of them was tall and the other one was short. From their dresses, it seemed that they were doing fairly well. Even if this time was difficult, but if they truly wanted to, they could still sustain their lives.

Of course, the premise was that the people from above was able to maintain this state.

Without enough resources, it wouldn’t earn anything.

"Anna, is that you?"

Anna looked at the two people in front of her and asked back, "Ethan and Coho?"

"Yes, do you remember us?" The tall man, Ethan, smiled brightly.

"You’re my classmates before," Anna replied. "I’ll be going first."

"Don’t be so distant with us. We’re all classmates, right?" Ethan wanted to stop Anna from going.

Dylan looked at this man and stood between Anna and Ethan. He felt that this so called classmate was annoying.

But it also poked another pain in his heart. He was not in the same high school as Anna, so naturally he couldn’t be her classmates.

Anna looked at Ethan and her expression was faint. "We’re not close with each other, so it’s enough."

"Well, we’ll be neighbor now, so..."

"In this situation, I don’t think it’s suitable for neighbors to have much contact with each other." Anna nodded at Ethan and then turned around, not wanting to talk more with Ethan again. She was not close with them and there was nothing that she wanted to talk with these two either.

Dylan followed behind Anna, making sure that Ethan would not follow them.

The two men, Ethan and Coho were left behind at the fifth floor. Coho patted Ethan’s back and dragged his friend to continue unpacking things. Ethan looked at the stairs unwillingly, but he still went back to work.
