Chapter 512 Jealousy
Chapter 512 Jealousy
The next morning, Ling Feng and Lin Xue set off early on their journey to the southwest.
They first drove to the provincial city airport, then boarded a plane. By three in the afternoon, the two had already reached a place three thousand kilometers from home.
Upon landing, they were hit by a wave of heat. Ling Feng glanced at Lin Xue, "Lucky you reminded me, otherwise, if we’d dressed like we do back home, we’d be dying from the heat!"
"This is just common sense, okay?" Lin Xue laughed.
The temperature here was high, like summer, and both had changed into more appropriate clothes on the plane, having prepared in advance.
They took a car from the airport and then rented one locally, not stopping until they reached a county town on the border.
The so-called county town was actually a small town that had gradually developed economically over the years due to frequent trade with Mianluo Country because of its location on the border.
By the time they arrived, it was already evening. The completely southern scenery was very different from the north, and Ling Feng looked around like a country bumpkin, finding everything new and interesting!
Especially the fruits laid out at the roadside stalls—many of which he had never seen before!
The car pulled up in front of a hotel, which they had already booked on the way. It was the best hotel in the area.
After getting out of the car, the two stepped inside and processed their check-in.
There were many people coming and going in the hotel, mostly looking like tourists. The men and women could easily be recognized as couples out enjoying themselves.
Therefore, Ling Feng and Lin Xue didn’t draw too much attention, attracting only a few glances by virtue of being a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
After they went upstairs and entered their room, Lin Xue threw herself on the bed, "What a tiring day of travel!"
"If you’re tired, take a hot bath and rest a bit. I’ll try to teleport back first; it might be too far, and what if it doesn’t work?" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
"What’s the rush? We’ve just got out, and you’re already thinking about going back. What if teleporting consumes too much energy and you can’t make it back?" Lin Xue asked.
"Uh, that’s true. If that’s the case, I’ll have to take another plane!" Ling Feng laughed.
"Yeah, it’s rare that the two of us come out together. I don’t know what you’re so eager to get back for!" Lin Xue pouted, looking somewhat displeased.
Seeing her like this, Ling Feng hurriedly went to cajole her, "I just want to let everyone know we are safe, are you jealous?"
"I’m not, a phone call is enough for reporting safety, unless you’re thinking about someone else, worrying about her, right?"
Although she claimed not to be, her tone and the way she spoke was clearly jealous.
Ling Feng indeed had Joanna on his mind; after all, their first fusion had left a memorable impression.
However, seeing Lin Xue’s displeasure, he quickly abandoned the idea of teleporting back. He moved forward, picking her up, "Alright, let’s skip the checking in part, let’s just take a hot bath first!"
Then, laughing, he carried Lin Xue towards the bathroom.
"Hey, no, don’t!"
Lin Xue flushed with embarrassment, struggling a bit, but in vain. She could only let him carry her into the bathroom.
Soon after, gasps of breath could be heard from inside.
After a long while, Ling Feng emerged carrying a limp Lin Xue out of the bathroom, and the two lay down together on the bed.
It was late into the night, and Lin Xue, whose cheeks were flushed, rested for a while before lifting her head and saying, "Tomorrow morning, I will contact the local branch office to get updated on the situation first!"
"You silly girl, just rest if you’re tired, we can talk about work tomorrow!" Ling Feng said with a laugh.
Lin Xue glanced at him, then suddenly rolled on top of him, "Who said I’m tired?"
"What? You still have the energy for another round?" Ling Feng asked.
"I have no problem; the question is, do you?" Lin Xue asked teasingly.
Seeing her playful demeanor, a spark ignited in Ling Feng’s heart, itching for some mischief. He laughed out loud, "What man would admit he’s not up to it?"
After saying that, he pulled the person in his arms close, and the two started kissing passionately again.
...
...
The sky was bright, and the streets were bustling once again. Ling Feng and Lin Xue had also woken from their sleep.
"Did you sleep well?"
Ling Feng asked, smiling at the person curled up in his arms like a little cat.
"Very well, I had a beautiful dream!" Lin Xue said with a smile.
"Oh? What did you dream about?" Ling Feng was curious.
But Lin Xue didn’t answer, just stuck out her tongue and said, "I’m not telling you!"
After saying that, she got out of bed and ran into the bathroom.
A moment later, as she brushed her teeth, she stuck her head out and reminded, "Don’t just lie there, it’s getting late!"
"I know, I’m getting up now!"
Ling Feng smiled, got up, went to the window, and opened the curtains to look outside.
This was the sixteenth floor, from where he could overlook most of the county, with a clear view of the surrounding streets.
A slender river flowed past the edge of the city, and just across it was the land of Mianluo Country.
After looking for a moment, Ling Feng turned to wash up. Quickly tidying up, the two of them went downstairs.
Perhaps because of the refreshment from last night, Lin Xue was in a good mood, laughing cheerfully as she held onto Ling Feng’s arm.
With her flowing hair and bright, pretty smile, she caught the attention of many people; even some girls looked at her with envy, thinking she was too beautiful.
Ling Feng, of course, was very proud. The more others envied him, the prouder he was, since such a beautiful girl belonged to him!
Once in the car, Lin Xue started the vehicle and left the hotel, slowly driving onto the streets.
Following the navigation on their phones, they drove to the outskirts and stopped in front of a three-story building.
"Is this the local branch?"
Ling Feng looked at the building outside the window and asked in doubt.
"Of course, it is. Could the navigation be wrong?" Lin Xue unbuckled her seatbelt and asked with a smile.
"It seems pretty shabby, not even comparable to our Longyuan!" Ling Feng remarked.
"You’ll see when we go inside."
The two got out of the car and pushed open the door to enter.
The first floor was empty, with almost nothing in it. Just as they were thinking about going to the second floor, a mechanical voice came, "What are you here for?"
Ling Feng looked up and saw a surveillance probe hanging in the upper corner of the opposite wall, complete with a speaker, and he replied, "From the Security Bureau."
Mechanical voice: "Identification!"
Ling Feng, speechless, exchanged a look with Lin Xue, and both of them took out their IDs and showed them.
After a moment, the mechanical voice said, "Please enter, proceed along the passage."
As soon as the voice had finished, the wall below slid open, revealing a corridor.
Ling Feng had thought that their work location would be underground, but to his surprise, there was more than met the eye behind the wall, so he took Lin Xue’s hand and stepped inside.
They hadn’t walked far when a door opened and a young man in military attire stood there, expressionless, and said, "Please, come in."
