Chapter 323

Right now, he just wanted to take a plane to South Sea City.

To see that fluorescent beach.

Seeing that Ning Chen didn't reply, Qin Wenlong just smiled and didn't pay it much mind.

Someone with such deep scheming — how could he possibly get angry at a mere whippersnapper? On the contrary, someone like Ning Chen, interesting and mysterious, with a way of doing things unlike ordinary people, suited his tastes far better.

The plane was flying along the horizon.

The sparkling sea, amid the rolling waves, refracted a multitude of colors.

The Husky sat in the back row with a solemn expression.

It raised its head to look out the window, one paw resting on the window's edge.

Composed, solemn.

Quite the look of an overbearing CEO.

It was also Zhang Xiaonian's first time riding a plane.

Although it was a little different from the big planes in her imagination.

But clearly.

She felt the plane she was riding now seemed a bit more interesting.

She could stick her head and hands out the window, without a care in the world.

Zhang Xiaonian reached her hand out the window, the wind rushing against it.

Zhang Xiaonian broke into an uninhibited smile.

Beside the plane.

Countless seabirds followed along in flight.

The white clouds in the sky were within reach.

The distant sun was unimaginably enormous.

Although she was very dissatisfied with that woman, Qin Baihui.

But because of her.

She was able to ride a plane for once.

Zhang Xiaonian was still very grateful to her.

Ning Chen's thoughts were drifting at this moment.

He was thinking.

The fluorescent beach.

In the end.

That memory.

Why couldn't he recall it?

Perhaps it was some trivial matter?

Or.

He simply had no memories of the fluorescent beach to begin with?

Ning Chen looked toward the horizon.

His gaze lowered.

Deep within those eyes.

Utterly dim.

As if there had never been any light at all.

Suddenly.

A wisp of cloud drifted across the sky.

It looked like one person embracing another.

His thoughts suddenly exploded like a bomb going off.

All the forgotten memories surged back into his heart.

Ning Chen raised his head, his gaze like a deep abyss — it seemed that no matter what met his eyes would sink into it.

That was.

An endless, bottomless abyss.

Qin Baihui sensed a sudden chill emanating from beside her.

She traced the source of that aura.

It was Ning Chen.

She looked at Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked out the window.

There had never been any room for her in his eyes.

For a moment.

Qin Baihui suddenly felt a nameless grievance welling up inside her.

As if.

Everything she was experiencing now, all of it.

Was nothing more than her own wishful thinking.

219. (3/5) The Past, As If It Were Yesterday

The fluorescent beach...

Fluorescent beach...

Fluorescent beach...

A beautiful place.

Once.

The place where we made a promise.

That night.

Si Shiya had just finished her day's duties.

She changed clothes, preparing to go home.

A young officer ran over and asked.

"Sister Shiya, how about grabbing a drink later?"

"To a bar?" Si Shiya asked with a smile.

"Yes!" the young officer laughed, "We've all agreed to go together. Are you coming?"

Si Shiya hesitated for a moment.

She really wanted to go to the bar to relax, but her boyfriend was still at home.

As if seeing through Si Shiya's concerns, the young officer said, "Invite your boyfriend too! The boss is treating!"

Si Shiya shook her head and said, "He definitely won't come."

The young officer said, "Just ask. Maybe he will come."

Si Shiya dialed Ning Chen's number: "Hey, we're going to the bar to have fun. The boss asked me to see if you want to join us."

Ning Chen had been cooped up at home all day; the moment he heard Si Shiya's words, a surge of anger immediately rose up.

"Why are you going to a bar when you have nothing better to do? Don't you know what kind of place that is? I've been waiting for you to finish work all day, and now you pull this stunt on me?"

Ning Chen spoke without any politeness, snapping into a rage immediately.

Si Shiya explained, "I'm going with people from the police station. Zhao Mengmeng and Master will both be there, and they are the ones calling you to come."

"Just because they call me, do I have to go?" Ning Chen sneered, "Can police officers even go to bars to have fun?"

Si Shiya affirmed, "Bars are legitimate establishments; of course we can go."

Hearing this, Ning Chen became even more furious. "Then just go! If anything happens, don't come looking for me. Even if you did, I couldn't help you. Haven't you been chatting with that young officer lately? Go find him!"

"That's work!" Si Shiya hurriedly explained. "I was contacting him about a mission, not chatting about daily life."

"Heh." Ning Chen's anger flared up. "Anyway, I don't know what you're actually doing. You say it's work, but I can't see it. Forget it, whatever it is, it is. I can't control you anyway. From now on, just make your own decisions and don't ask me!"

Having said that.
