Chapter 480: Going to a Place
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo visited the residences of Zhu Shu and Yan Qingwen together.
It took a long while for the door to be answered.
Zhu Shu opened the door and paused slightly upon seeing them. She then stepped back to let them in, saying, “I was just looking for you two over there…”
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo were also startled.
As Zhu Shu was wearing an apron, she had an air of a dutiful wife and loving mother.
This might seem ordinary to others, but for Zhu Shu who was once a star, it appeared sowhat refreshing.
Once inside, they noticed that the living room was cluttered with supplies.
—— They also had these stuff. These were gifts from the organization as a token of gratitude for passing the 21st ga.
As Zhu Shu moved rice, flour, oil and salt to the kitchen to make room for Bai Youwei and Shen Mo to sit down, she explained, “Brother Yan hasn’t eaten anything or had any appetite since he exited the ga yesterday. I thought of making so nourishing soup, and just finished preparing the ingredients. It’s just a bit troubleso starting the fire…”
Hesitating slightly, she made a bitter smile: “In other aspects, I’m not much help either.”
Shen Mo glanced at the bedroom door, which was tightly closed, “Is it because of Lun Ang?”
“…Yes.” Zhu Shu also looked towards the bedroom door, “He didn’t sleep all night. He said that the mont he closed his eyes, he saw Lun Ang standing in front of him. After he found out that Su Man disappeared, he was more unable to sleep… I was worried that his body couldn’t take it, so I got so sleeping pills from the dical team and he just fell asleep.”
Shen Mo paused briefly, then said, “It may take Yan Qingwen so ti to co out of this.”
Zhu Shu rely uttered a low, “Mm”. “Now…I am the only person left by Brother Yan’s side, and I want to take good care of him.”
The five of them had co together through a series of coincidences. Perhaps at first it was because of debts, mission, or benefits, but along the way, they had ford an irreplaceable bond as a team. But after coming here, Li Li returned to the research group, parting ways with them, followed by Lun Ang’s unfortunate death, and now Su Man’s mysterious disappearance——
Out of the original five, only Zhu Shu and Yan Qingwen remain.
As Zhu Shu thought about this, she let out a deep sigh, “Brother Yan may seem indifferent to everything, but in reality, he cares about teammates more than anyone else … Lun Ang’s death was a huge hit to him, and now with Su Man’s incident, I really worry about him.”
At certain monts, Yan Qingwen and Shen Mo seed similar: both indulging in aloofness. But if you interacted more with them, you would find that Yan Qingwen is “sociable”, even though he is aloof, and can easily command attention in a group.
Shen Mo’s coldness is genuinely cold, like a lone drifter, emitting a lax indifferent to people and things unlike others.
Losing teammates is definitely a heavy blow to Yan Qingwen, who naturally belongs to a “team”.
It’s like an orchestra conductor losing his band, a flock of geese scattering, or a leading general finding himself charging alone… The loneliness and desolation are sothing that ordinary people can’t comprehend.
Bai Youwei asked Zhu Shu, “How could Su Man suddenly disappear? Are you sure she is alright?”
Zhu Shu gave a bitter smile, “Yesterday, her family ca looking for us with a handwritten letter Su Man left behind, asking if we knew where she went. In the letter, Su Man wrote that she was heading off to sowhere, and that her family should take care of their health and not to worry about her.”
Bai Youwei widened her eyes, “… she is heading off to sowhere?”
“Brother Yan suspects she entered the labyrinth.” Zhu Shu sighed again, “When Su Man left ‘The Last Bride’, her right hand was severely injured. Brother Yan and Lun Ang brought her back from the underground parking lot at the ti, and they were the ones who treated her wound. She didn’t want us to worry, so she asked Lun Ang and Yan Qingwen to keep it a secret and didn’t inform her family. Now I think about it, she probably ran off without saying goodbye because of this, heading to the labyrinth.”
