Tomb raiding: A mere 20 is nothing!

Just then, Hei Xiazi's phone on the table vibrated twice. He put his sunglasses back on, picked up the phone, glanced at it, and tilted his head to indicate, "Let's go, Master Hua is here to pick us up."

"Brother Xiaohua, he's not...."

Shen Mingchao was taken aback. She thought that Xie Yuchen had sent the two possessed people out and wouldn't be back for a while.

As Hei Xiazi walked downstairs, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly chuckled inexplicably, saying, "I bet Master Hua's accelerator is about to smoke."

The two walked to the door, where a car was parked with its lights flashing, making it particularly noticeable in the darkness.

Shen Mingchao's earlier questions were answered after the two got into the car.

Xie Yuchen glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror and said, "I booked a hotel and have temporarily settled them there. They're fine; they'll be alright after a good night's sleep."

"You don't need to worry about the aftermath of this. After Zheng Jingyin wakes up tomorrow, I will have him take Belyak back to report. Given that old lady's methods, this man won't have a good ending."

"Let's go back to the hotel and get some rest tonight. We'll decide on the itinerary tomorrow."

Shen Mingchao was a little sleepy; her eyelids kept drooping, and she fell asleep before the car even arrived at its destination.

The two people in the car noticed that Shen Mingchao's breathing had become long and even, and they both shushed each other in tacit agreement. Xie Yuchen reached out and turned on some soothing car music, while Hei Xiazi took off his coat and covered Shen Mingchao with it.

After the car stopped, Hei Xiazi looked at the scenery outside the window and was about to ask, "This doesn't look like a place with hotels," but before he could speak, the person in the driver's seat unbuckled their seatbelt, opened the door, and got out.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Hei Xiazi understood immediately and got out of the car as well. After gently closing the door, he went to Xie Yuchen. Knowing that Xie Yuchen wanted to know what had happened, he recounted everything that had just occurred.

Xie Yuchen listened quietly, without showing any expression until Hei Xiazi finished speaking.

Upon seeing this, Hei Xiazi said, "These aren't your main concerns, are they?"

"Of course, we knew about her special circumstances from the beginning, didn't we?"

There's no need to make a fuss.

"So what did you come up to by driving to this desolate place in the middle of the night to talk to me about?"

Hei Xiazi had expected to hear something complicated and troublesome, but the other party casually tossed out a sentence:

"She's tired, I want her to sleep a little longer."

Ok?

That was a completely baffling answer.

Hei Xiazi's expression suddenly became comical. He looked at Xie Yuchen's familiar face with a half-smile, yet it suddenly felt strange.

"this one?"

Xie Yuchen shook his head: "That's only one reason."

"So?"

Xie Yuchen turned his head away and remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly, as if he had made up his mind: "Blind man, I don't want to go back so soon."

That's why he stopped the car to talk to Hei Xiazi.

He had a selfish thought: he wanted to spend a few more days with Shen Mingchao, even just one more day. He didn't want Shen Mingchao to only remember this experience as a corpse in a coffin.

"I see." Black Bear chuckled insincerely, "It's true that blind people live long enough to see Boss Xie skip work on his own initiative."

Hei Xiazi suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard about Xie Yuchen keeping a mistress in a golden house, and his smile deepened.

He suddenly attacked Xie Yuchen, grabbing his wrist and placing two fingers on his pulse.

Xie Yuchen instinctively tensed up, but after realizing the other person's intention, he slowly relaxed and waited a while before asking, "What did you say?"

"Pregnancy pulse".

"..."

Xie Yuchen's face instantly darkened. He abruptly flung his hand away, took out his phone, and was about to contact a private jet: "I'll arrange for you to fly back first thing tomorrow morning. Don't worry, it's free."

"Hey, no, no, no—" Black Bear quickly waved his hands, begging for forgiveness with a grin: "Just kidding, just kidding."

Upon seeing Yu Chen put down his phone, he became serious and said about the results of the pulse diagnosis: "The old ailments that accumulated in your body over the years have improved a lot."

"Yes." Xie Yuchen nodded. He had been having physical examinations, and he knew about it.

"And another thing," Hei Xiazi said after looking at Xie Yuchen for a while, "you've become younger."

Xie Yuchen looked up, his gaze finally settling on the man's sunglasses, and asked in return, "And what about you?"

"Me..."

Hei Xiazi then gazed into the distance. In the darkness, a few streetlights looked like tiny balls of light. If it were the real him, he would probably have quickly looked away and thought it was too bright.

Now, he was unconsciously drawn to that ray of light and could no longer look away.

He broke with his usual habits.

No, it should be said that he was the one who went against human nature before. Living in darkness for so long, he almost forgot that humans are attracted to light.

There's nothing wrong with admitting it.

He said, "It's gotten much better."

"Where's that thing behind you?"

Black Bear shrugged: "It's as docile as a quail now. Many times, I feel like it's gone. I think it won't be long before it disappears completely."

However, by then, he had completely entered another vortex from which he could not extricate himself.

"You said you'd stay a few days?" Black Bear patted his chest and sighed dramatically, "The opportunity is right in front of us, I can only apologize to the brothers."

The two reached an agreement.

Xie Yuchen, too lazy to watch Hei Xiazi's performance, turned around and got into the car. When he turned back, he saw the girl who should have been fast asleep staring at him with her eyes half-closed, and he was suddenly startled.

Hei Xiazi opened the car door and got in. He turned his head and met Shen Mingchao's gaze, and paused slightly.

"Ming Dynasty, you've awakened?"

"Just woke up." Shen Mingchao rubbed his eyes and, before the two could ask, said directly, "Don't worry, I won't eavesdrop on your private conversation."

Ten minutes ago, she woke up groggily and found that there was no one in the car. After looking around, she saw two people standing in front of the car through the window.

She instinctively cracked the car window open to ask what was going on, but then realized that they had deliberately gotten out of the car while she was asleep to discuss something private, so she quietly rolled the window back up and didn't disturb them.

But in that instant, she still managed to catch a few words.

The car started moving again, and Shen Mingchao, who had been holding back for a while, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is anyone you know pregnant?"

"Why do you ask that?" Xie Yuchen's heart tightened, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The premonition came true the next second.

"Because I think I heard the words 'pregnancy pulse'?" Shen Mingchao's voice rose at the end, carrying a hint of uncertainty.

"Pfft—" That was the sound of Hei Xiazi bursting out laughing.

This kid didn't hear any of the important points, the only thing he heard was "the main points of the whole article," hahaha, he's such a good listener.

Xie Yuchen's vision went black, veins bulged on his forehead, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands. At that moment, he really wanted to pack up Hei Xiazi and send him back to China overnight!
