Chapter 436 Leaving
Chapter 436 Leaving
After a few days of rest, Lan Xi's wounds were no longer serious. That day, Lan Xi found the mysterious man. The mysterious man looked at Lan Xi and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Although Lan Xi was a little surprised, she didn't show it. Lan Xi said softly, "Let's go to your garden." The mysterious man nodded slightly, stood up and went to his back garden with Lan Xi.
There was an exquisite pavilion in the center of the back garden, and Lan Xi led the mysterious man here. When they walked into the pavilion, they found that the stone table in the center of the pavilion was filled with delicious food. The mysterious man looked at the table full of dishes and looked at Lan Xi in confusion.
Lan Xi smiled and explained, "I prepared all of this for you. Thanks to your careful care during this period, if you hadn't saved me, I would have died. I don't know how to repay you for saving my life, so I thought of cooking a meal to express my gratitude. I hope you like it."
The mysterious man said in surprise: "I didn't expect you could cook!"
Lan Xi smiled and replied, "This is one of the skills we need to survive." Then, Lan Xi invited the mysterious man to sit down with her and urged him to taste her cooking. Since the mysterious man's mask only covered the upper half of his face, it did not affect the meal.
She had originally thought of inviting the mysterious man to dinner, so that he would not wear a mask and Lan Xi could see his true face. But she never expected that the mysterious man would actually change his mask. Lan Xi wondered how many masks this guy had. Seeing that her plan had failed, Lan Xi could only let the mysterious man eat the food she cooked.
The mysterious man picked up a dish and put it in his mouth. After tasting it carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Lan Xi looked at the mysterious man and asked expectantly, "How does it taste?"
The mysterious man also praised generously: "Your craftsmanship is good."
Lan Xi watched the mysterious man enjoying the food with great joy, and her mood became much happier.
The mysterious man had almost finished eating. After putting down his chopsticks, he looked at Lan Xi and said, "You cooked for me today. It shouldn't be just a simple matter of eating, right?"
Lan Xi nodded, looked at the mysterious man and said, "During this time at your house, I have lived a rare and relaxed life."
"Are you getting ready to leave?"
Lan Xi liked this place very much. She was a little reluctant to leave, but she still said firmly: "Yes, my injuries are almost healed now, and I should go back, otherwise they will be worried. I also have a lot of things to do and can't stay here forever."
The mysterious man knew that Lan Xi would leave one day, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon. The mysterious man continued to ask: "When do you plan to leave?"
Lan Xi replied: "Tomorrow, I will be ready to leave early tomorrow morning."
The mysterious man looked at Lan Xi and said softly, "Okay then, I'll take you there when the time comes."
Lan Xi quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No... no need, I have troubled you enough during this period of time, I can go back by myself."
The mysterious man smiled slightly: "Are you sure you can find the way back?"
Lan Xi said confidently: "I grew up in Haicheng, how could I not be familiar with Haicheng?"
After hearing this, the mysterious man raised his lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, and then told her calmly: "This is not Haicheng."
Lan Xi showed a surprised expression on her face and asked in confusion: "If this is not Haicheng, then where is it?"
The mysterious man looked at her and said slowly: "This is City A."
Lan Xi's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "City A? I've never heard of this place."
"You haven't been to many places. Apart from Haicheng, you probably haven't been to other places, right?"
Lan Xi thought about it. She had grown up in a city where, except for Gu Tingyan taking her out and going out on missions, she seemed to have never been to any other city. She was in City A, so even if Gu Tingyan searched the entire Haicheng, he would not be able to find her.
"Is City A far from Haicheng?"
“It’s not far, but you can’t get out of City A without me.”
Although Lan Xi felt that what the mysterious man said was strange, but as the mysterious man said, she was unfamiliar with City A, and it would be safer if he sent her back to Haicheng.
"You said that we have been together for such a long time, how can we be considered friends? Even if we are not friends, you are still my savior. I will leave tomorrow, so can't you tell me your name?"
"I told you that the day you fall in love with me, you will know my name."
"But I'm leaving tomorrow."
"I told you that you are my destined one, and we will meet again, but in another way." Lan Xi had no idea why the mysterious man said this to her.
