Chapter 130 - I'll wait for you (1)

Seeing the cat, Bei Nuan knew who this person was. The book had mentioned a guy who carried his cat around. His name was Xie Yuanqing.

His ancestors were from Yao Town, but his family had moved away from Yao Town a long time ago. He had brought his subordinates here to take refuge.

He claimed to be a businessman. Seeing how this group of people surrounded him and their style and attitude, his business seemed quite suspicious.

In the novel, he and Lu Xingchi had met in Yao Town and gotten into a confrontation because of their different ideas.

Right now, there were two groups of people. One wanted to go up, and the other one wanted to go down.

The path up the mountain was made of bluestone slabs. This section of the path was particularly narrow and steep, and the two groups met face to face.

Lu Xingchi's gaze briefly stopped on Xie Yuanqing's face for a moment before looking past him. He politely turned sideways, so that Xie Yuanqing and his group could go down first.

Xie Yuanqing also saw Lu Xingchi. He looked at him for a while. Perhaps, his lingering gaze was due to the rarity of seeing such a good-looking person. He was also very polite.

Holding his cat, Xie Yuanqing motioned to the people behind him and said to Lu Xingchi, "You go first."

While these two were going back and forth on letting each other go first, Xiao Ji suddenly passed by them. Taking multiple steps at a time, he rushed up and shouted, "Mom!"

Over a dozen steps above them, a local woman in her 50's was walking down. She was stunned when she heard Xiao Ji's voice. She saw Xiao Ji and immediately rushed down.

Bei Nuan thought with gratification; this must be Xiao Ji's mom.

Bei Nuan opened up the taskbar. Sure enough, the task was marked 3 out of 3 completed.

She had fulfilled Fang Chen's wish before time ran out, and her Holy Mother value steadily rose. Little Three had said she would gain a lot of Holy Mother value for completing this task, and Bei Nuan was quite satisfied with this increase.

Just as Bei Nuan was happy, a rapidly spinning lottery wheel suddenly appeared on the interface. It was spinning so fast that she couldn't make out the names.

Bei Nuan had experience now. She knew the system was choosing another target for the Holy Mother's wish task.

What did Little Three say last time? The system would randomly choose a person within 50 meters of her.

Who would the chosen person be?

Bei Nuan surveyed her surroundings, a bit worried.

They were near Yao Town's most lively area. There were shops on both sides below them, and people's homes behind those shops. There were countless people within 50 meters.

Bei Nuan silently prayed that the person chosen would be a member of the team. It couldn't be easier to fulfill three wishes by Du Ruo and the others.

Sure enough, it took a while for the wheel to stop turning due to the sheer number of names. It finally came to a slow stop and settled on a name: Li Dahua.

Who was this person?

Based on the name, it should be a female.

Bei Nuan felt she was suffering so much. She had to stay here and find a woman called Li Dahua.

(T/N: Dahua literally translates to big flower.)

Bei Nuan looked at the randomly selected time limit. Fortunately, she had 70 hours this time. That was almost three days. It should be enough time if she found that person soon.

"Bei Nuan?"

It was only then that Bei Nuan noticed she had been so preoccupied with the task that she didn't notice that Lu Xingchi and the others had already climbed several steps.

Xie Yuanqing was still standing by the side of the path. He was smiling at Bei Nuan. His eyes were as deep as ink, and he was looking at her. He didn't urge her to move and was patiently waiting for her.

Bei Nuan quickly said sorry and dashed forward to catch up to Lu Xingchi.

When passing Xie Yuanqing, Bei Nuan heard him quietly ask in a soft voice, "Dahua, what do you want to eat for dinner?"

Dahua?

Did he just say "Dahua?"

Bei Nuan abruptly looked back and saw that he was gently stroking the cat in his arms.

He continued to say, "There's nothing good here to buy. Be good and make do with what's available here, okay? I'll cook delicious food for you when we get home."
