Chapter 302: He Had Come in the Wind and Rain! (1) “Sir, I know you have your ways. Help me to convince Li Qingcang, and I will treat you to hotpot when you return to the country.
“Sir, Li Qingcang won’t listen to anything we say, but he listens to you. If you want Ye Tianxin to stay, you will need him to convince her.
“Sir, if you’re not going to help me, then please don’t blame me for doing everything in my power.”
Just as Qie Yiyan tried to get Ye Tianxin to stay, Li Qingcang was already on the helicopter that Xie Xinghe had prepared.
Yan Lili followed with a bag on her shoulders.
Li Qingcang did not look too friendly when he saw Yan Lili.
“What are you doing here?”
Yan Lili was upset by Li Qingcang’s questioning. She answered embarrassedly, “Captain Li, this is their first time going to a place like that. I am worried that the tasks have taken a toll on their mental health. Things might be a little better with me around.”
Li Qingcang moved a little further into the helicopter when he heard Yan Lili’s answer.
Yan Lili climbed into the helicopter and sat down. Then, she put on her seatbelt.
“Let’s go.”
The helicopter rose into the clouds. It was late at night, and the wind was cold.
The helicopter flew rather steadily at the beginning.
However, the weather conditions worsened as they got far. The weather was not suitable for flying.
“Captain Li, the wind is too strong, and the rain is heavy. It will be dangerous if we do not retreat.”
Li Qingcang looked at the front. “Make preparations for the worst-case scenario,” he said decisively. There’s no changing his mind. “I will fly the chopper.”
Li Qingcang was a rare all-rounder in the army. Of course, it all boiled down to the fact that he was an intelligent man.
He picked things up very quickly, learning things as soon as he was taught.
Something like flying a helicopter was naturally not difficult for him.
His deep and dark eyes looked into the distance. His expression was serious and determined.
He was calm and composed. Yan Lili stole a glance at Li Qingcang, and her heart thumped wildly.
When did she start to fall in love with him?
Perhaps it was one random afternoon when she walked past his classroom. He was wearing a white shirt, and his head was lowered as he read.
He stood out among the students who were very loud as they played.
At that moment, she could hear her own heart beating.
She had fallen in love with him.
She tried to get closer to him. The closer she got, the more she fell for him.
There were some things or people in this world that would never be replaced no matter how hard one tried to.
To Yan Lili, Li Qingcang was irreplaceable.
Yan Lili’s eyes welled with tears when she thought of that. A lump was caught in her throat, and tears fell down her cheeks. She looked away, afraid that the people in the helicopter would see her crying.
She stared at the dark, angry sky. She liked him.
She liked him very much.
However, she knew that he was getting further and further away from her.
The woman who would stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, would not be her.
She was too late. It broke her heart to witness Li Qingcang rescuing another woman, but what could she do? Li Qingcang made it clear that he wasn’t interested in her. She couldn’t force herself into him. She wouldn’t do that.
“Be careful,” Li Qingcang reminded Yan Lili. Yan Lili came back to her senses and realized that the strong winds and the heavy rain had already drenched the helicopter completely.
The helicopter was so insignificant in the face of nature.
The scene in front of them was simply terrifying. Yan Lili was so frightened that her face turned pale. She closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes once more, the helicopter was already on the empty patch in front of the cell.
The rain showered at the helicopter, making pitter-pattering sounds.
