Chapter 39: The Giant_1

Finally reaching the foot of the hill, a flat but winding road unfolded before Xiaren. Looking ahead, she saw the road continuing straight into the distance, seemingly endless.

Next to the road flowed a clear river, the only access path to the outside world. Qiao Xiaren saw several green SUVs parked by the side of the road.

"Mr. Si!" A few people approached Si Limo, who lifted Xiaren's luggage into a car. Climbing into the vehicle, the leader of the group took the driver's seat while Xiaren and Si Limo sat in the back.

Watching the receding landscape, Xiaren felt a wave of drowsiness washing over her. When she woke up, she was shocked to find herself leaning against Si Limo's shoulder.

"Awake? Did you sleep well?"

Hearing the calm voice, Qiao Xiaren suddenly felt that she couldn't afford to appear weak before him. So, she met his eyes, flexing her wrists and neck nonchalantly and said, "Not bad."

Si Limo's eyes grew deeper, but he remained silent.
