Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Encountering Danger_1

"Stop pretending, I know you’re not asleep." Bo Jingyan turned on the room light, preventing Xia Qingtian from continuing to feign sleep and said, "Get up and have a drink with me."

As his words fell, the sound of alcohol being opened was heard.

Xia Qingtian remained in bed, pretending to be asleep.

But Bo Jingyan didn’t indulge her, he walked over and yanked off her blanket, saying, "If you don’t want to get up by yourself, then I don’t mind, I’ll carry you."

As he spoke, he bent down, intending to lift her up.

Xia Qingtian, startled, immediately opened her eyes, unable to maintain her act any longer.

She opened her swollen eyes and looked at Bo Jingyan, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Didn’t I just say it? Drink with me." Seeing that she had finally moved, Bo Jingyan sat cross-legged on the carpet, pointing to a pile of alcohol placed on the floor.

He had not only prepared alcohol, but also accompanying snacks.

Xia Qingtian was having a really bad time and wanted to drink to drown her sorrows. She didn’t refuse his invitation. She jumped off the bed and sat across from Bo Jingyan.

Bo Jingyan poured her a glass of alcohol, saying, "Drink."

Without standing on ceremony, Xia Qingtian lifted her glass and downed it in one go.

After forcefully drinking the glass of alcohol, she wiped her mouth and once again passed the glass to Bo Jingyan, "Alright, continue, I’m going to drink more."

Indulgently, Bo Jingyan poured her another glass.

Xia Qingtian again drained the glass in one go. After that, she thought that drinking one glass at a time wasn’t satisfying enough, so she snatched the alcohol bottle from Bo Jingyan and began to drink directly from the bottle.

Bo Jingyan had brought several bottles of alcohol. He himself had only had a few glasses, while almost everything else had been consumed by Xia Qingtian.

In the end, Xia Qingtian was completely drunk.

She clung to the bottle, and tears slowly began to flow.

Seeing her like this, Bo Jingyan’s eyes involuntarily displayed a hint of heartache. Subsequently, he reached out to hold her against him, whispering words of comfort, "If you want to cry, lean into me and cry as much as you want. It will be okay after you’ve cried."

Xia Qingtian could no longer hold back, "My father is dead, I will never have a father again."

Bo Jingyan soothingly stroked her neck, reassuring her time and time again, "It’s okay, you still have me, and An’an. We will always be by your side."

Xia Qingtian cried for a long time, his clothes soaking wet from her tears.

Afterward, when she was tired from crying, she fell asleep in Bo Jingyan’s arms.

Gently, Bo Jingyan moved her back to the bed.

Crying also requires energy, Xia Qingtian had been crying for a long time and was exhausted. Coupled with the large amount of alcohol she had consumed, as soon as she was moved back to the bed, she fell into a deep sleep.

Fearing her eyes would be swollen shut when she woke up the next day, Bo Jingyan took a few ice cubes out of the refrigerator, wrapped them in a towel, and applied them to her eyes.

Only after the ice cubes in the towel had all melted did he stop.

"Have sweet dreams," he bent down and kissed Xia Qingtian’s full forehead, then closed the door for her and left the room.

The next day.

Xia Qingtian had a bit of a hangover and was somewhat headache-prone.

But since she had vented thoroughly last night, although she still felt a little upset, it was not as heart-wrenching as it had been the previous day.

She sat dazedly on the bed, suddenly feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.

Her purpose in coming to B Country was to find Xia Guohua.

Now that Xia Guohua had been effectively sentenced to death, she suddenly felt like she had lost her way and the momentum she had initially was deflated.

Just then, Bo Jingyan walked into the room.

Noticing that Xia Qingtian was awake, he hesitated slightly as he hadn’t heard any sound coming from within the room, and thought she was still asleep.

"Since you’re awake, why don’t you come out?" He asked.

While speaking, he pulled open the curtains for Xia Qingtian. The passionate sunlight outside streamed straight into the room, as if trying to illuminate all the dark corners.

The sunlight made Xia Qingtian squint.

Hearing Bo Jingyan’s words, she responded with a question in return, "Go out for what?"

Bo Jingyan could hear the confusion and despair in her tone, completely contrary to her previously decisive and resolute demeanor. Even though she had vented the night before, the death of Xia Guohua wasn’t something that could be easily overlooked.

The impact on Xia Qingtian was a long-term one, it would no longer cause a big wound, but it also wouldn’t heal easily.

He proposed, "Then let’s go back to A City."

Now that the chances of Xia Guohua surviving were slim, staying in this sorrow-filled place, B City, would only continue to remind Xia Qingtian of this cruel truth. It would be better to return to A City.

Time can heal everything, even the painful loss of a father.

"Alright." Xia Qingtian didn’t object.

"Then I will book the flight for tonight." Bo Jingyan suggested.

Thinking about having to face An’an and her friends, Xia Qingtian forced herself to muster the energy to respond, "Wait two more days, I want to buy some gifts for An’an, Bingbing, Qilin, and my colleagues."

"Okay." Bo Jingyan agreed immediately.

That she remembered to buy gifts for her friends was a good thing and certainly better than seeing her continually in a state of despair.

After spending a little more time in the room, Xia Qingtian forced herself to get up. After eating a little something, she went out to stroll around and buy presents.

Because of her fragile emotional state, it took her two full days to buy the gifts.

After she finished shopping, she and Bo Jingyan planned to return to the hotel to pack their bags, so they could leave B Country first thing in the morning.

However, on their way back, Xia Qingtian’s cellphone rang.

When she checked her phone, she was somewhat surprised to find that it was Lucy calling her.

She was taken aback and raised her eyebrows. The last time they parted ways, she had given Lucy some money, which Lucy had refused. Instead, Lucy had given her a phone number, in case she ever ran into trouble and needed to call her for help.

Now that Lucy was calling her, did that mean she was in trouble?

With that thought, Xia Qingtian picked up the call immediately.

"Hello, Lucy, you..."

"Help, someone is....."

Before Xia Qingtian could finish speaking, she heard Lucy scream on the other end of the line.

However, Lucy’s plea for help was suddenly cut off as the call disconnected.

Realizing that Lucy was in danger, Xia Qingtian’s face instantly turned serious. She turned to look at Bo Jingyan, saying, "Jingyan, Lucy..."

"I know." Bo Jingyan interrupted her.

Lucy’s scream was piercingly shrill. Even though Xia Qingtian hadn’t put the call on speaker, in the narrow space of the car, he could hear it clearly. Of course, he knew that Lucy was in danger.

Without Xia Qingtian having to remind him, he immediately turned the car around and headed to Lucy’s house.
