Chapter 319: His reluctance

When she finished and came back to her senses, she suddenly discovered that Ji Qingyue's figure was gone from the position just now.

Next, Rong Ci worked day and night for several more days before the matter was finally handled.

She slept for a day and a night before feeling that her spirit had finally improved quite a bit.

However, compared to before entering the base, her complexion still had a few more points of paleness.

During this day, she basically only cared about sleeping and didn't eat much.

Feeling hungry at night, she wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat something, but ran into Ji Qingyue, who was walking toward her from the dormitory on the other side, on the way.

Ji Qingyue saw her, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes: "I thought you had already left the base."

This matter was of great importance, and he could actually guess roughly when she entered the base.

Now that the matter had come to a perfect end, he thought that after completing her mission, she had already left the base yesterday.

Rong Ci shook her head and said: "There are still some things to handle, so I need to stay for a few more days."

She was indeed supposed to leave the base yesterday, but Nan Zhizhi had matters that needed her help to handle separately, so...

Ji Qingyue smiled gently and nodded, indicating he understood.

Seeing she seemed to still be a bit sleepy, he knew she probably slept for a day and a night and had only woken up not long ago.

He smiled but didn't ask much, instead asking: "Are you preparing to go eat?"

"... Mm."

"Together?"

In this situation, Rong Ci couldn't not agree, so she had to say: "Okay..."

After getting their food, they sat down facing each other.

Ji Qingyue looked at Rong Ci.

Actually, during the last vacation, although there was no progress between him and Rong Ci, he had entrusted someone to get Yu Moxun's contact information. From Yu Moxun, he learned that when his vacation ended, Rong Ci still hadn't officially divorced.

However, judging by Yu Moxun's meaning, it seemed the man had important matters and went abroad on a business trip, with an uncertain return date...

In other words, until now, Rong Ci very likely still hadn't officially divorced.

Since she hadn't divorced yet, and she currently didn't have those feelings for him, he couldn't force her too tightly, so while eating, he neither asked her if she had officially divorced like before, nor did he cross the line to ask private questions like whether her child was a boy or a girl, how old they were, or what kind of personality they had.

Instead, he chatted with her about what happened in the base this time.

Facing work matters, Rong Ci still had quite a lot to chat about with Ji Qingyue.

However, there were many sudden events in the base, and they didn't chat for long before Rong Ci received an emergency notification from Nan Zhizhi.

Seeing Nan Zhizhi's emergency notification, Rong Ci hurriedly wiped her lips, stood up, and said to Ji Qingyue: "I have an urgent matter, I'll go first, you eat slowly—"

Ji Qingyue looked at her face and said softly: "Okay."

Rong Ci was preparing to leave, but before leaving, when her eyes touched his gaze, her steps paused.

Because she saw reluctance in his eyes.

She paused, lowered her eyes, avoided his gaze, hesitated for a second, said "Goodbye" to him softly, and walked away quickly.

Ji Qingyue was indeed reluctant in his heart.

Because he needed to leave the base to execute official duties in other places for the next few days, and it was estimated it would take a while before he could return. By then, Rong Ci would probably have already left the base...

Their next meeting would probably be a month later... ===== CHAPTER 320 =====
