Chapter 952 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 40
Wu Xie himself doesn't even know where he's headed.
"Alright, let's get going then." Xie Yuchen started the car.
On the way, Gu Wusi found the journey unbearable, so he put on sunglasses to block out the light and then lay down in the back seat to sleep.
Seeing this, the other two people in the car didn't say anything, letting her sleep peacefully.
Because we set off in the afternoon, it was almost evening by the time we were halfway there.
Xie Yuchen drove to the entrance of a restaurant, thinking he would have a meal, find a place to stay for the night, and continue his journey the next day.
Huo Xiuxiu got out of the car and went straight to the restroom.
Xie Yuchen saw that Gu Wusi was still asleep, thinking that the temperature was dropping at night.
After he got out of the car, he quietly opened the back door and covered her with his coat.
As soon as the cover was put on, Gu Wusi opened her eyes. Her sunglasses had been moved down while she was sleeping.
So, he met her clear, bright eyes directly.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment, and the two stared at each other for a few seconds.
Gu Wusi was actually trying to wake up; his eyes weren't fully focused yet.
But even from such a close distance, Xie Yuchen could still see a gentle reflection of himself in her eyes.
His eyes were filled with himself, and after those words floated into his mind, a slight thought stirred within him.
I'm standing outside the car now, and I'm bending over to get inside, which means I'm above her.
"Did I wake you?" he asked in a low voice, naturally taking a step back.
Gu Wusi shook his head and sat up, his voice a little hoarse from dehydration: "I didn't sleep very soundly, where are we?"
"They won't arrive until noon tomorrow. Let's find a hotel to stay at tonight and wait for Xiuxiu to come back before we go out for dinner."
As they were talking, Xie Yuchen took a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and handed it to her.
Hmm, this person is quite considerate.
"Thank you, I'm going to the restroom too." Gu Wusi drank some water and went out, handing his coat back to him.
Xie Yuchen took the coat, his fingers unconsciously rubbing against the warm surface.
His eyes followed her for a while, his mind carefully considering the fleeting flutter in his heart just now.
Actually, there were clues before; he had been unusually concerned about her behavior.
In addition, one can detect some problems by observing the concern that Gu Wusi holds dear.
He has always been very self-aware.

The next day, Huo Xiuxiu took over driving.
Gu Wusi sat in the passenger seat, rolled down the window and lit a cigarette: "You've been driving for almost two hours, I'll take over driving later."
"No need, I don't feel tired yet."
"You won't even take a break?"
"You can drive when we go back," Huo Xiuxiu said with a smile.
"Okay, you can drive it if you want."
As Xie Yuchen listened to their conversation, he looked up and noticed that Gu Wusi had finished smoking and was rummaging through his bag.
He took a handkerchief from his pocket, wet it with water, and handed it to him: "Use this."
I had noticed long ago that although she smokes, she doesn't like the smell of smoke on her hands.
Gu Wusi saw it, paused for a moment, and took it: "Thank you."
I didn't ask him how he knew what I was looking for.
Although a handkerchief can be used to wipe hands, it cannot completely remove the smell of smoke, so she looked for wet wipes.
When she has time, she'll be particular about things; when she doesn't, she won't care.
"Why are you always thanking me? There's no need for such formalities between us," Xie Yuchen said jokingly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi replied without thinking, "It just slipped out."
"What's your relationship with me? I feel like I'm just sitting here out of place," Huo Xiuxiu teased.
"Don't you know what our relationship is?" Gu Wusi opened his phone to check, saying casually.
"Anyway, they're not brother and sister."
"Go drive your car."
"We're almost there. I'll contact Wu Xie." Xie Yuchen tactfully changed the subject.
As he spoke, he dialed Wu Xie's number.
"Hey, Little Flower..."
"Wu Xie, where are you? Are you also heading into the desert?"
"Going into the desert? I didn't know that. But you're going to the desert?" Wu Xie was still on the road, and the car was full of people.
"Yes, they should be going to the same place as you, waiting for us."
"You guys? Who else is here? Is Gu Wusi here again?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Wusi turned around and leaned closer to Xie Yuchen, speaking into his phone.
"What, Wu Xie? Can't I come? Do you have a problem with me???"
Xie Yuchen smiled and leaned forward, letting her get closer to the phone.
Over there, Wu Xie was surprised that the person involved could hear him. He chuckled dryly and quickly explained.
"Hehe, no, no, I have no problem with you. Of course you can come. Little Flower, I'll hang up now. Let's talk when we meet."
He slammed the phone down.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Hei Xiazi's voice close to his ear: "Who did you just say was coming?"
"Ah!! You scared me!!!" Wu Xie patted his chest and looked at him with annoyance.
"Young Master San is such a coward, how did you manage to get through the tomb?" Hei Xiazi leaned back in his chair, a mocking look on his face.
"You were just trying to scare me. Why did you stand so close when you were talking?"
Without answering him, Hei Xiazi only asked the question he wanted to know: "You just said that Gu Wusi is coming?"
"Yes, and Xiaohua too. He said we're going into the desert."
After hearing this, Hei Xiazi exchanged a glance with Zhang Qiling, who was also listening.
Unexpectedly, they had just said they were going on a long trip, and now we're meeting again so soon.
Wu Xie looked at the passenger seat: "A Ning, are we going to the desert?"
“We’re the ones going, you’re not included,” A-Ning said, turning around.
Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhang Qiling, who was resting with his eyes closed beside him: "If Brother Zhang is going, I want to go too."
Zhang Qiling opened his eyes, glanced at him once, and then closed them again.
"Whatever, if you're not afraid of dying." After saying that, Aning ignored him.
Since Zhang Qiling had already met Wu Xie once after coming out of the bronze gate, he wasn't questioned by him this time.
*
More than two hours later, Huo Xiuxiu parked the car at Aning's camp.
Hearing the commotion, everyone came out.
Gu Wusi got out of the car and saw Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling, and A Ning.
Hei Xiazi isn't here; he must have gone to Lancuo to retrieve the porcelain plate.
"Xiao Hua, Gu Wusi, Xiu Xiu is here too." Wu Xie stepped forward and spoke to them.
Gu Wusi walked forward, and Wu Xie thought she was going to say something to him.
As a result, she didn't even glance at him, and walked directly past him to Zhang Qiling behind her.
Wu Xie choked, and could only pretend that he wasn't the one who was embarrassed just now, watching Xie Yuchen and Huo Xiuxiu laugh awkwardly.
Xie Yuchen was focused on Gu Wusi and didn't see his expression.
Only Huo Xiuxiu noticed, and she suppressed a laugh as she said, "Brother Wu Xie, I didn't know you would be coming."
