C153 The Figure of That Man
In life, there's always a trip to go, or it's too bad.
Ji Nian did not tell Gu Chen about her plan to go to Tibet. She only said that there was an outdoor host outside and that she would not be in City J for five days.
She had been there for a long time. She asked Gu Chen to prepare all the medicine for her and secretly went to buy medicine to resist the reaction of the plateau. She only had one day to prepare these things.
Mu Tingye turned on the lights in the apartment. This was the first time he returned after fighting with Ji Nian.
The apartment was cold and empty. The round table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was still there. He stood straight in the living room and saw the ring lying quietly on the coffee table.
He picked it up and fixed his gaze on the stars on the ring. He slightly curled his lips without any feelings. Did she really like stars that much?
The phone rang at this moment. He took out his phone and looked at the caller. He picked it up and put it beside his ear. "Mom?" He closed his hand and held the ring in his palm. Then, he turned around and walked to the bedroom.
"Ye, why is Ji Nian still hosting the program? Shouldn't we stop work and take care of your health at this time?" Ye Meihui held it in for a long time before she decided to call to care about Ji Nian.
Although she was still not sure if Ji Nian really had a child from the Mu family.
Mu Tingye opened his suitcase and threw the clothes into it one by one. "Mom, I will ask her to stop work now and take her to relieve her boredom."
"Where do you want to take her to relieve her boredom?" Ye Meihui asked. At this time, the weather was cold and the ground was cold. She did not want to go outside and catch a cold.
"I have already arranged everything. It will not be cold to her. You can rest assured. I will pack my luggage now. I will not tell you for now." Mu Tingye hung up the phone because he did not want to say more.
Ye Meihui frowned when she suddenly hung up the phone. She did not know what kind of mysterious person this kid was up to all day.
When the plane arrived at Lhasa, a group of people came down from the plane. The air was very cold and dry, and the sky was unusually clear. The blue sky and white clouds were a big part of the scenery here, and everyone could feel it as soon as they got down.
Ji Nian was wearing a thick and soft down jacket. Her tight jeans pulled her long and slender legs. She had taken anti-altitude medicine beforehand. She did not feel much discomfort after getting off the plane, but her breathing was not smooth.
Lyi Qing was very excited and pulled Ji Nian all the way out of the airport. She did not expect that she would invite a local master to come and receive them. Outside the airport, there was a domineering off-road vehicle waiting for them.
Everyone could not help but exclaim. It could be imagined how wonderful it was to sit cross-country on the road and admire the local scenery.
The off-road trip brought them to the residential houses in Kajou Ri. The houses in Kajou Ri were very beautiful and unique. The color was rich and beautiful, but it was not vulgar. They would stay in the residential houses tonight.
No one knew who arranged this trip. Everything was prepared along the way, and they had even contacted the residential houses they wanted to stay in in advance.
Master Dorje, who was leading the way, was very enthusiastic. He introduced the journey and the characteristics of this place to them along the way. His skin color was very unique, dark and red.
On the first night, Ji Nian did not feel any discomfort. The locals had prepared special food for them, Zanba, crispy tea, dried meat, and the hidden pig.
Lyi Qing was too happy to drink a lot of green barley wine. Although it was not a high alcohol content, she still could not take it. She was so drunk that her face was red as she muttered nonsense to herself.
Ji Nian could only help her back to rest. On the way back to her room, she saw Master Dorje talking to a man. That man had his back to her and his black coat made him tall and straight. That back view was so familiar that it made her heart jump.
It was just that the distance was a little far and coupled with the darkness of the night, she could not see very clearly.
Lyi Qing, who was in her arms, suddenly shouted drunk, "Nian Nian, give me another glass of wine! Delicious, really delicious..."
Ji Nian quickly supported Lyi Qing who was about to fall down, "Alright, alright, let's go back and rest." She looked up again and saw that the man was gone. Only Master Dorje was there. He clearly saw them as well and walked towards them.
"Hey, this lady drank a lot of highland bars?" Dorje teased with a smile.
"She drank quite a bit. The main reason is that the wine is too good. Once she drinks it, she will not stop." This was said by Lyi Qing herself. Ji Nian only took a sip and did not dare to drink too much.
She hesitated and asked, "Master Dorje, who was the one who spoke to you just now?" Her heart was inexplicably raised.
"Ah? Oh, that's a friend from afar. I'm familiar with this place, so I arranged accommodation for him." Master Dorje answered straightforwardly without any hesitation.
Ji Nian lowered her eyes. A friend from afar? Since it was Master Dorje's friend, she should not know him. It must be because she was overthinking, or because she could not see clearly that figure, that she felt that it was familiar.1
"Then I will take her back to rest first. It has been hard on Master Dorje today." Ji Nian supported Lyi Qing and Master Dorje and said good night.
"Be careful. Have a good rest tonight. We will have a day's trip tomorrow." Master Dorje instructed.
Ji Nian nodded and used a lot of effort to take Lyi Qing away.
That night, Ji Nian took care of the drunk Lyi Qing and finally fell asleep after getting tired.
It was just that the vague image of the man who was talking to Master Dorje flashed in her mind. How could it be so familiar? She fell into a dream with doubt.
The next day, they arrived at the Edelweiss Temple. Looking to the south from here, they could see a tall, majestic peak of Mount Everest.
There was little rain in Tibet during winter. Most of the time, it was sunny. Master Dorje asked everyone to look at the cloud of smoke on the mountaintop.
He introduced it to everyone. It was a white flag fluttering on the top of Mount Everest. This strange scenery was known as the world's highest flag cloud.
Below her feet was an uneven stone road, and there was also a slope that was slightly slanted. Ji Nian looked at it seriously and did not pay attention to the road below her feet.
She stepped on a bigger stone and could not stand steadily. She staggered and was about to fall. Fortunately, the people behind her helped her in time.
That person let go of her very quickly. She was still in a state of shock. After she stabilized her feet, she turned her head and said, "Thank..." The reason why she did not say the last word was because there was no one behind her.
It was not that there was no one behind her but those people were quite far away from her and those people were looking at the clouds on top of Pearl Peak seriously. No one paid attention to her and Lyi Qing was not far in front of her.
Ji Nian was shocked this time. She looked around in confusion and did not see anyone who seemed to have helped her just now. No one looked at her side and she could not help but feel numb. Could it be that it was an illusion just now?
That was not right. That person grabbed her arm with a very strong force and she could still feel the remaining force. Then who was the one who helped her?
Ji Nian was a little crazy and trembled. Don't tell her that she had seen a ghost in broad daylight! She did not believe it at all.
"Nian, what are you looking around for?" Lyi Qing saw that her expression was not right and ran over to ask.
The uneasiness in Ji Nian's heart became stronger, "Lyi Qing, I keep feeling that something is following me."
