Surviving in another world, occasionally finding a beautiful woman

"4000."

The boy's voice echoed in the auction hall.

Lin Xia looked in the direction of the voice, but ignored Xiao Mu who was holding the sign because she met Qi Yuan's gaze who had not yet turned back.

“…” Lin Xia didn’t know what this stone meant to Qi Yuan, but Lin Xia was not here to show off her selfishness, but to do her job.

Lin Xia just nodded at Qi Yuan and turned back to continue bidding.

After several rounds of competition, many people have given up, only Xiao Mu and Lin Xia are still competing.

Xiao Mu had already bid 7000 million. Thinking of how hard Lin Xia was trying to get it and how he himself had no demand for it, Qi Yuan reached out to stop Xiao Mu.

But when the countdown stopped, Lin Xia did not continue bidding.

Lin Xia had no choice. Grandpa Wu had told her that once the price reached 6500 million, she should stop bidding. Otherwise, Lin Xia would have to pay the extra amount herself.

Poor Lin Xia didn't have that kind of money, so she naturally obeyed and didn't continue bidding if the price was beyond her range.

Thus, this product fell into the hands of Qi Yuan and his team.

Qi Yuan was a little surprised. If he didn't know Lin Xia, Qi Yuan would almost doubt Lin Xia's intention of doing this. It seemed that she was just trying to trip him up.

"Congratulations to VIP No. 3 for winning the rough stone." The people on the stage took the lead in congratulating Qi Yuan and Xiao Mu, and Lin Xia also followed the crowd in applauding.

Qi Yuan sat still in his seat, not moving at all when he heard the congratulations. On the other hand, Xiao Mu was quite happy, turning her head to meet Lin Xia's gaze.

Lin Xia couldn't see Xiao Mu's expression, but the provocation in his eyes caught Lin Xia's attention, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

What Lin Xia, who had already retracted her gaze, did not see was that Qi Yuan turned his head and looked at her.

In Qi Yuan's eyes, under the dim lights, everyone was congratulating him, but the person he cared about the most lowered his head in this noisy place, and it seemed that the area where he was had become dark.

It felt like at this moment, Lin Xia was surrounded by a dim and dead aura, and she became the only lonely person in the bustling city.

Of course, Lin Xia didn't know what Qi Yuan was thinking in his mind. If he knew that Qi Yuan had become like this now, and even started to think about him like this, Lin Xia couldn't imagine what kind of impulsive action he would take.

"Mr. Han." Xiao Mu suddenly came over and looked at Qi Yuan.

When Qi Yuan first came in, he told Xiao Mu to buy whatever she wanted and to get it herself, as Qi Yuan had plenty of money.

Now seeing Xiao Mu coming over to him and asking for praise, Qi Yuan couldn't possibly give him a cold face or give him the cold shoulder.

Qi Yuan could only smile helplessly and patted Xiao Mu's shoulder gently, "Not bad."

Hearing Qi Yuanhe's praise, Xiao Mu's heart jumped even more, and the disdain in his eyes when he looked at Lin Xia became even stronger.

If Xiao Mu could go over and have a falling out with Lin Xia, he would definitely go over and mock her, saying that Qi Yuan only treated Lin Xia as an ordinary boss.

Lin Xia's business had been completed, and there was no need to look at their subsequent transactions. Lin Xia looked around, stood up and walked out the door.

Qi Yuan naturally noticed that Lin Xia stood up and left, and looked at Xiao Mu beside him, "Wait for me."

"Okay." Xiao Mu responded to Qi Yuan softly and obediently, sitting there waiting.

Qi Yuan left his seat directly and followed the direction Lin Xia left.

Lin Xia was walking in front when she suddenly heard light footsteps behind her.

In order to prevent herself from mishearing, Lin Xia slowed down her pace, and the footsteps behind her became more obvious.

Lin Xia didn't look back and kept walking forward, with the "da da da" sound still following closely behind her.

Coming to a fork in the road, Lin Xia decisively chose to go to the side intersection, hiding in the blind spot, waiting for the people behind to catch up.

Sure enough, after a while, the man came to the intersection and appeared in Lin Xia's sight.

Lin Xia looked at the familiar figure of the man, frowned, and kicked a stone at her feet.

The stone rolled with a rumbling sound and hit Qi Yuan's feet. Qi Yuan looked down at the stone next to his shoes and then looked up.

At the corner of the intersection, a shadow flashed. Qi Yuan took a few steps forward and entered the blind spot.

This was a stairwell. The door to the stairwell was ajar, and Qi Yuan walked in a few steps.

"Why are you following me?"

The voice sounded behind Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan turned around and saw Lin Xia leaning against the wall behind the door.

Qi Yuan closed the door, and only Qi Yuan and Lin Xia were left in the narrow space.

In the dim space, only two beams of light came through the crack in the door, and two masked men stood facing each other at the door.

A man leaned against the wall, and another man stood facing him. Although the masks blocked the faces of both men, the two familiar men had already deeply engraved their longing for each other in their minds without the masks covering their faces.

"Why aren't you talking?" Lin Xia crossed her arms over her chest, staring at Qi Yuan opposite her without blinking.

Qi Yuan walked forward step by step, pulled Lin Xia into his arms, and whispered in Lin Xia's ear, "Xia Xia."

Lin Xia felt the man's aura. How should I put it? It was a little different, but a lot of it was the same.

In the end, Lin Xia raised her arms and hugged the man who was hugging her.

The two people felt each other's warmth. Although they didn't say a word to each other, the emotions flowed between them. Many things don't need to be said, many things don't need to be explained, and many times, comfort is not as simple as words.

Maybe it’s a simple hug, maybe it’s a kiss, or it could be a hearty “communication”.

There seemed to be footsteps in the corridor, but they came closer and then gradually went away. Neither of them cared about it. This rare moment of tenderness did not want to end like this. They just wanted time to pass slower and slower.

"Xia Xia."

"I'm here."

Lin Xia patted Qi Yuan's back gently, feeling like she was coaxing a child, and her heart was warm.

There were many people in the underground auction house, and Qi Yuan wanted to give the items he had bought to Lin Xia, but Lin Xia refused. The boss only gave a small budget, which was beyond the range, which only meant that the boss did not want it that much.

Qi Yuan listened to Lin Xia quietly. Even though the light was dim, he kept staring at Lin Xia, which made Lin Xia's scalp numb.

"Anyway, just take it back yourself. But, it's a little strange..."

"what?"

Lin Xia looked at Qi Yuan in disbelief. "You haven't been doing missions for a long time, have you become stupid?"

Qi Yuan did not respond, but waited for Lin Xia's next words.

"I can't really explain it. It's just that rough stone. It's quite strange. Be careful."
