Chapter 345: A Beautiful Regret
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the day Ye Jian reached the western province, a farmer’s car drove through the narrow rounds in Makit County at 70 kilometers per hour and screeched to a halt outside an old and dilapidated bus station.
The door of the car closed with a bang. Xia Jinyuan hurried down the bus station that didn’t even have a door. His clothes were so old the color had faded.
“d.a.m.n it, wait for me!” Han Zheng got off the car slower so he got choked by the dust that flew into the air when Xia Jinyuan closed the door. He coughed as he climbed down and chased after Xia Jinyuan. “Who are you going to ask? How are you going to find her? You don’t even have a photo.”
The flight test lasted for almost two months. Every time Xia Jinyuan got off the warplane at night, he would stand on high ground and look at the direction of the Khotan River.
That was the place where the three red dots appeared on their radar. It meant that there were people in the desert.
To be safe, the military sent people over secretly to check on the three people. The results were… stunning.
After that time, the military never sent anyone else again. They knew that the three people staying in the desert were not their enemies.
Xia Jinyuan knew who those three people were. As for Han Zheng… he only knew it five hours ago.
Xia Jinyuan rushed towards the staff in the bus station so he didn’t hear what Han Zheng said. He asked about Ye Jian’s whereabouts from the staff that looked a little tired.
Based on the information from the radar, Ye Jian, Grandpa Gen, and Uncle Chen started traveling back to Makit County 15 days ago. If they traveled at normal speed, they would take around 10 days.
He thought that the three of them would rest in the county for a week. However, he was wrong.
Most people who came from the Khotan River would rest at Makit County for a week to replenish their energy. However, Ye Jian only stayed for one day.
The moment Xia Jinyuan ended his flight training, he went to look for Ye Jian. That was how they ended up at the bus station.
Actually, while they were driving here, Xia Jinyuan knew that there was a 99% probability that Ye Jian had left Makit County. The 1% left was if something happened to the bus so it couldn’t leave on time.
After Xia Jinyuan asked, the staff immediately knew who he was talking about. He smiled. “I’ve seen the three people you mentioned. They left four days ago.”
“The young lady looked very fair and pretty. She stood out among all the suntanned tourists. One lady even asked the young lady what brand of sunblock she used.”
Xia Jinyuan knew this would happen but he still wanted to ask.
Han Zheng found out that Ye Jian left four days ago from another staff outside the bus station. He stuck out his tongue. Were these two people fated or not? They were able to meet each other in the desert!
However, it wasn’t right to say that they were fated since they didn’t meet each other.
The new year just ended. Inside the small county, the atmosphere of the new year could still be seen everywhere. Occasional sounds of firecrackers could be heard.
Xia Jinyuan bought two bottles of mineral water. It was three times more expensive here. He stood at the spot where Ye Jian stood a few days ago and sighed.
“Little Fox, you are really fast. My emotions keep changing because of you. I’ll take some interest back when I see you again.”
