C248 Familiar Shadow

2Two days later, with Qiu Yimin leading the way, Lingyun followed her to the center of the oasis.

Due to Qiu Yiming's understanding of the oasis, the two avoided a lot of danger along the way. Although they encountered a few fearless demon beasts that attacked them, they were not strong enough because they were only at the sixth step. There were very few demon beasts that were at the peak of the sixth step.

Facing this kind of demon beast, Lingyun had never fought before. He did not know why every time he met an enemy, strong or weak, he would use some strange reason to refuse to fight and let Qiu Yimin, who was leading the way, handle everything.

In fact, she was even suspecting whether he was someone who wasn't a good girl. Yet, with her, a beautiful woman with a floral appearance, by his side, he didn't show any reaction. Sometimes, he could even be ignored as air.

Generally speaking, when a man has a beautiful woman who looks like a flower accompanying him, he should be trying everything he can to attract her and then do other things to gain her affection. This could be said to be something that almost every man would do, but right now, the person called Ling Yun Fan by his side wasn't moved at all.

Not to mention showing off, he was clearly using a beauty like her as a bodyguard. As long as something happened, no matter if it was troublesome or not, he would still avoid her and watch the show like a passerby.

Because of this, Qiu Yimin was beginning to doubt whether she was right or wrong by his side.

Soon after, she also sat with Lingyun on a flat ground not long after night fell. They had built a fire and rested for a while.

"This woman's willpower is unbelievably strong. I've faced her so many times in the past few days, but I didn't expect her to be so calm by my side. What exactly do I want? Do I really have something worth making her feel wronged for?" Lingyun, who was quietly roasting the meat in front of the fire, kept glancing at Qiu Yimin, who was observing him, and fell into deep thought.

Maybe it was because she had peeked too many times, that Qiu Yimin, who was still feeling a little unwell, noticed it. It was what had happened since then that caused her to focus on Lingyun.

"Could it be that this guy was finally moved by this young lady's beauty? He didn't even want to look at me before, but now he's actually looking at me in secret?" Sensing Lingyun's sneaking glances, Qiu Yimin also felt some joy in her heart.

"Eat."

Not long after, just as she was distracted for a moment, a fragrant piece of grilled meat with faint golden stains appeared in front of her. Looking in front of the grilled meat, she discovered Ling Yunfan speaking to her with an indifferent expression.

Seeing this, Qiu Yi Min graciously received it and tore off a piece before putting it into her mouth to taste.

"Really, it's quite tasty." After swallowing the meat, Qiu Yiming looked a little surprised. She smiled at Lingyun and praised the taste of the roasted meat.

He then elegantly tore another piece off and began to taste it.

However, right when she didn't know about this, Ling Yun Fan's eyes were wide open as he looked at her. His eyes were filled with shock, yearning, and disbelief.

The reason why he revealed such a strange expression was because just now, he had seen Qiu Yimin wearing a dark red dress and had a bewitching face.

On the surface, she seemed like a cousin, but in reality, with the close relationship between the two, she could be said to be an unmarried couple. Unfortunately, at that time, because Ling Yunfan did not know about his feelings, when the tragedy befell upon him, he finally realized the feelings he had for Ling Hong.

Unfortunately, at that time, it was already too late. In the end, his feelings could only gradually be put down with the death of Ling Hong. But now, after seeing his loved ones that would often smile and encourage him, even if it was just a shadow, it would still affect his mood.

"Plop …"

Perhaps it was because he was too excited, but the barbecue in his hand also accidentally fell off.

"Hmm?"

Although the sound of the pieces of meat hitting the ground was soft, it was extremely distinct in the quiet night. Because of this, Qiu Yi Min, who was still immersed in savoring the taste of the roast meat, was so scared that she swallowed the meat that had not been chewed on before. She immediately looked towards the direction the sound came from, and discovered that Lingyun was staring straight at her.

The pair of black eyes completely exposed his current emotions. The gentle expression of someone who looked like a family member even made Qiu Yimin shocked. This guy actually had such a gentle expression!

And then, after looking more carefully, he discovered that two drops of near transparent tear drops had actually fallen from Ling Yunfan's eyes.

"What happened to you?" Qiu Yimin was shocked to see this. She could not imagine that the man who had always been so cold would shed tears. She thought to herself, Did he want to think of something so painful that it would pierce the heart?

When Qiu Yimin's voice came out, Lingyun also instantly retreated from the sad state. In just a breath's time, his previously revealed emotions were concealed, and the tears that were still on his cheeks were also casually wiped away.

"I'm sorry, I forgot myself just now. I'm really sorry for affecting your taste." Then, in order to not let Qiu Yiming get into any kind of misunderstanding, Lingyun hurriedly explained as well.

It was a pity that these words didn't have the slightest effect. Not only did Qiu Yiming see through him, but she also felt that his words were perfunctory. How could such a useless explanation have any effect on the intelligent Qiu Yimin?

"It's good that you're fine. We'll need another two days to get out of this oasis. Have a good rest tonight." Following that, Qiu Yi Min turned her eyes and pretended to be completely unaffected, replying with a smile.

She really wanted to continue asking, but the relationship between the two of them wasn't that good at informing each other of her secret. If she continued asking, it might make Lingyun feel disgusted with her, so her plan of staying by his side to observe him would be wasted, and she would lose her life.
