Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Heart-to-Heart Connection_1

Bo Jingyan glanced at her and seeing the extreme seriousness on her face, he chuckled lightly.

"What’re you laughing at?" Xia Qingtian looked at him strangely and asked.

"Nothing, just that I never expected your thoughts to be so aligned with mine, this is what they call..." He abruptly paused.

"What is known as?" Xia Qingtian subconsciously asked.

Bo Jingyan said deliberately, "It’s telepathy!"

Xia Qingtian gave him an annoyed look and asked, "Are you okay?"

She always thought that Bo Jingyan was not someone who would say such things, so it felt a bit weird.

"I just thought you were too nervous, wanted to help you to relax. So, I made a joke." Seeing she had relaxed a little, Bo Jingyan explained his intentions.

Xia Qingtian felt both amused and helpless.

However, Bo Jingyan had indeed achieved his goal. Her mood had become a bit lighter after his playful words. Initially, she was quite depressed.

While chatting, they had already arrived at the location where the assistant’s body was found.

The assistant’s corpse was found on the beach. A couple found it while watching the sunrise on vacation. The assistant had been dead for several days when the body was found, and the body was already swollen from being submerged in the water.

After arriving at the beach, Xia Qingtian looked at the sea. Recalling her dream from last night, she asked, "Do you think there’s a possibility that my father was murdered and we just haven’t found his body yet because it drifted off the beach instead of washing onto it?"

"Don’t scare yourself." Bo Jingyan reached out and ruffled her hair. "Agents I sent to look for clues had already thoroughly searched the nearby waters when they discovered your assistant’s body on the beach."

"Furthermore, they’ve even hired professional salvage workers for recovery operations, but still, they’ve found no trace of your father’s body. So, it’s highly likely that he’s still alive."

Xia Qingtian did not push away the hand that was touching her head.

After listening to Bo Jingyan’s words, she was indeed slightly reassured. Bo Jingyan, whether in the past or the present, always gave her a tremendous sense of security.

"Right..." she nodded and repeated, "My dad is definitely still alive."

It was unclear whether she was in response to Bo Jingyan’s words or comforting herself.

The beach here is too vast, and their walk around it yielded no useful clues.

They didn’t continue to waste time there and went back to the hotel.

It was lunchtime when they returned to the hotel.

Bo Jingyan took Xia Qingtian to the hotel restaurant for lunch. The food was locally flavored and tasted good.

He ordered several specialties.

Soon, their food was served.

Just as Bo Jingyan was about to invite Xia Qingtian to eat, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Eyeing the caller ID, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Xia Qingtian, "You eat first, I will answer this call and be right back."

After saying this, he walked away with his phone.

He thought it would only take two or three minutes to finish the call. But it ended up taking twenty minutes.

Bo Jingyan put away his phone and returned to the dining room, elegantly smoothed his clothes as he sat down.

"You..." He looked at the dishes on the table that were hardly touched, then at Xia Qingtian, "Have you been waiting for me to eat, or have you already finished eating?"

"I’ve finished eating," Xia Qingtian replied.

Bo Jingyan raised his eyebrow, pointed at the dishes on the table and said, "The food is hardly touched, even if you have a small appetite, you shouldn’t have eaten so little."

"I just wasn’t hungry and didn’t feel like eating." Xia Qingtian answered honestly.

Bo Jingyan frowned, knowing she was feeling down because today’s progress hadn’t been smooth and she had lost her appetite.

"It’s just the first day and you already lost your appetite." he disagreed, "What’d you do in the future?"

Xia Qingtian didn’t say anything.

"You should’ve been prepared mentally before coming. If things don’t go smoothly, we may have to stay in B Country for a long time. If you don’t eat like this, you won’t be able to last for long. Then, I would have to not only look for your father but also take care of you which will be too burdensome."

Bo Jingyan gritted his teeth and continued, "If you keep this up, then I will have to send you back home first. Having you here would only burden me."

Upon hearing his words, Xia Qingtian clearly loosened up, but still made no move.

Having said what he wanted to say, Bo Jingyan picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of beef and feed it to Xia Qingtian, saying, "Eat some meat to gain strength."

Xia Qingtian’s eyes flickered, but she didn’t open her mouth.

Bo Jingyan sighed, "Really can’t do anything about you."

He didn’t remove his hand, slightly compromised and said to Xia Qingtian, "Don’t lose your appetite anymore. Later, I will take you to a place where we might find a clue."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian’s eyes lit up.

"Where?" She immediately asked.

Bo Jingyan didn’t answer her, just held the food to her mouth with the chopsticks.

Xia Qingtian understood his meaning.

If she didn’t eat, Bo Jingyan wouldn’t answer her.

She reluctantly opened her mouth and ate the piece of beef.

A satisfied expression appeared on Bo Jingyan’s handsome face, he then picked up another piece of food and fed her, uttering two words, "Continue."

Confined to obey, Xia Qingtian ate every piece of food.

After that, whatever Bo Jingyan fed her, she ate.

It wasn’t until she felt the food had reached her throat and she really couldn’t eat anymore that she shook her head, "Can’t eat anymore, if I continue, I’ll throw up."

Bo Jingyan, seeing that she truly couldn’t eat anymore, finally stopped and began to eat his lunch.

However, he had been on the phone for a bit too long. Add to that feeding Xia Qingtian, the entire table of food was now cold.

His only choice was to eat the cold dishes.

Seeing the food had gone cold, but he was still eating, Xia Qingtian felt uncomfortable.

She quickly reached out, stopping Bo Jingyan’s chopsticks and said, "The food is already cold, let them serve you another portion?"

"Aren’t you in a hurry to go to the place I said where we might find clues about your father?" Bo Jingyan asked, pausing the chopstick he was holding, in amusement.

"I am, but I can’t watch you eat cold food." Xia Qingtian replied, scrunching her eyebrows.
