Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 690 World 225

"The second floor?" Shen Ruyin tilted her head. "What's on the second floor?"

"No, it's nothing, maybe I saw it wrong," Ke Xue said, his face looking rather grim.

"Yinyin, you're going back tomorrow, right?"

Shen Ruyin nodded: "Yes, but aren't you going to stay for a couple more days? My mom said she'll stay with me for a few days and then leave with you."

“No need,” Ke Xue said immediately. “I’m only staying for two more days for the live broadcast; nothing important will happen.”

"You should go back with your parents. I'll have my friend bring you the computer that's been set up."

"After you finish watching the lesson, you can try to work with the footage you shot this time. Consider the finished product as your learning assignment, and show it to me later."

Once Shen Ruyin agreed, Ke Xue breathed a sigh of relief and then emphasized to her, "Don't be late tomorrow. If there's nothing important, it's best to go back early in the morning."

After closing the door, Shen Ruyin told her parents about it, and her feelings for Ke Xue improved significantly.

Although Ke Xue insists on being a science popularization blogger and believes in science, he has lived to such an old age not entirely by deceiving himself.

Ke Xue was fairly aware of his own abilities.

Just like how he made Shen Ruyin his employee, but emphasized that Shen Ruyin didn't need to go out with him.

If there wasn't a reason, what boss would be so kind as to do that?

After seeing Number 1, Ke Xue could have continued to pretend he hadn't noticed anything, but he took the initiative to suggest that the Shen family leave in time.

This shows that in his eyes, there is a concept of protecting the Shen family as ordinary people.

How could Shen Ruyin not feel increasingly fond of a boss who not only pays salaries but also takes the risks alone?

When I get back, I'll make a new bracelet in preparation.

Shen Ruyin thought.

When Ke Xue admits that he has seen something different, give him the newly completed version.

If he keeps denying it... then I'll just give it to him as a birthday present or something later.

Before resting, Shen Ruyin prepared to close the window that she had left open for ventilation.

As she lifted the curtain, she noticed a flickering firefly out of the corner of her eye.

Shen Ruyin squatted down and looked at her carefully: "Why are you here again? When did you come in?"

The firefly flew to the same height as Shen Ruyin, circled around, and landed on the back of her hand.

Shen Ruyin stretched out her hand: "I need to rest now. You should go back to your tribe too. Don't come tomorrow. I'm going home first thing in the morning."

The fireflies suddenly became brighter, and as they flew away, they stopped to wait for Shen Ruyin, as if signaling her to come along.

Don't even mention this is the fourth floor; she doesn't have wings, and if she goes out, she'll either die or get seriously injured.

Knowing that Number 1 was here, Shen Ruyin wouldn't follow even if they went out through the main entrance.

She coaxed the firefly as if she didn't understand what it meant, "Okay, okay, you should go back now, I really need to rest."

The fireflies left, and Shen Ruyin closed the window.

The next morning, after having breakfast together, Shen Jia and Ke Xue planned to check out and drive home.

As she said goodbye at the entrance of the guesthouse, Shen Ruyin spotted Number 1 again.

This time, however, his attention was drawn to several people who were dressed respectably but exuded a heavy aura of yin energy.

As the car started, Shen Ruyin took the opportunity to glance back while closing the car window.

Those men were very coordinated and had sharp eyes. They didn't look like ordinary people; they seemed more like they had done something wrong.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ruyin sent a message to Ke Xue.

[Boss, please be careful while you're staying at the guesthouse alone these next few days.]

[I felt something was off about the people who checked us in when we left today; they gave me a strange feeling.]

Shen Ruyin told a little lie in the message she sent.

[It made me feel very uncomfortable when they looked at me.]

Ke Xue replied to the message very quickly.

[I understand, I'll be careful. Please be careful on your way home too.]

Shen Ruyin put away her phone and then heard her father say something.

"Isn't today Sunday? Why are there so many cars heading to Montenegro?"

Shen's mother looked outside and said, "Maybe they're thinking of traveling during off-peak seasons? When you're at work, it's the perfect time for other people to go out and have fun."

The vehicles passed each other in such a short time that Shen Ruyin didn't notice anything, except that several of the vehicles that drove up were RVs.

"Could it be a group of RV club members out for a trip?"

"Most likely," Mr. Shen replied casually.

After passing this section, there weren't so many cars on the road. It seemed that the Shen family had just encountered that convoy, which made it seem like there were many people going to Black Mountain.

As they were about to enter the city, Shen's mother saw many fruit farmers from the suburbs setting up stalls by the roadside to sell peaches, and quickly told them to stop.

"It's rare for me to come out, so I'll buy some to take back today, so I don't go back and not be able to find anything good to eat."

Mr. Shen pulled over and Shen Ruyin got out of the car to take a look.

Although the peaches were sold by the roadside, they were not expensive and the quality was mostly quite good.

Mrs. Shen picked out a large peach and asked, "Boss, what variety are these peaches?"

"It's our local white peach, it's delicious," said the fruit farmer tending his stall. He then cut off a small piece of flesh from a peach that had already been partially peeled, skewered it with the tip of his knife, and offered it to Shen's mother. "Would you like to try some?"

After tasting a piece, Shen's mother immediately decided to buy it.

"It still tastes the same as when I was a kid. I couldn't find it in the city a couple of years ago."

Seeing that she liked it, the fruit farmer's smile became even more genuine: "There's nothing we can do. Fewer people are growing this variety now. Many people have switched to growing peaches and the like."

“Peaches are delicious, but they’re too expensive, and it’s hard to buy really good ones online,” Shen’s mother said casually as she picked out peaches. “Especially if you want ripe peaches, it’s hard to find even local peaches. If they’re too unripe, they just don’t taste right when you bring them home and let them ripen.”

Shen Ruyin listened to her mother chatting with the fruit farmer, and looked around aimlessly.

The one hiding next to their car looks so much like Zhao Manrou.

Shen Ruyin stared at it for a few more seconds and confirmed that it was indeed Zhao Manrou.

Why is she here?

Who is she hiding from?

Shen Ruyin followed her gaze and looked across the street.

Besides the other peach stalls, there was only one girl, about four or five years old, standing under the shade of a tree across the street, her face full of anger.

Just as Shen Ruyin was about to look away, she suddenly noticed that the girl was wearing a pair of red shoes that looked familiar.

Shen Ruyin picked up her phone and brought up the camera.

Sure enough, the girl wasn't captured on camera at all.

She lowered her eyelids, put away her phone, and followed her parents, who were already carrying two bags of peaches, back home.

"Xiaoman? What are you doing here?"

Zhao Manrou suddenly looked up and noticed the Shen family members standing by the car: "Yinyin? Uncle and Aunt? Is this your car?"

After receiving approval from the Shen family, Zhao Manrou's eyes lit up.

"I missed the bus, can I get a ride back with you?"
